Sth, for the promised land of Alberta, after welcome rest at Winnipeg, where we arrived the previous evening. Approaching the Portage plains we were much interested in the appearance of the crops, which were very tine. The wheat especially presented a grand appearance being of a rich, dark green, a sure indication of vigorous growth, and although somewhat lodged by heavy rains, was not zerionsly damaged promising a bountiful harvest, much to the joy of many of our Ontario farmers' sons who were travelling westward with the intention of finding employment in the harvest fields. All the way front .Winnipeg to Blandon, crepe were excellent, but at the latter point darkness put en end to our view of the country, and the following morning found us at ii epella, with uothiug to be seen as far as the eye could reach lout a totally un- cultivated, undulating prairie. Hour after hour we rolled over a beautiful plain, some - tines perfectly level, sometimes gently un- dulating -the n elf lating-the most fertile imagination must utterly fail to picture the solitary grandeur of these illimitable prairies, where there is. room for untold fien erationa of a r tctltural- sts. Well be called Greater and well may we be proud of our magnificent heritage. For fully 601) miles we travelled on over ORO vastp1ain, passing anoccasioual settler's homestead. At falgonie we sew one of the Canadian Agricultural, Coal and t'olonies,- tioncempany sfarins of 10.000 Beres all foto- ed in, a portion only of which was tattler crop, I untlerstentl that this company owns ten of these farms, each comprising 10,000 acres ; neat buildinga are erected thereon aanoddproapeets for ultimate auccesi appear At Indian Head we had a .fine view of the Government Experimental- farm stations The buildings twined spacious and conven, fent, while the symmetrical rows of tree - and various kinds of vegetables made a pleming contrast to the waving fields of megni scent grain now beginning to assume the golden hue of barred, all exemplying what can he aceemplisOcl in these re„ions by syeteutetie, careful work, The quantity of buAalo bones piled in heaps along the railway is einq ly incredf- b10 • in one place we counted four piles of skulls ateeked, up like cordwood, each pile estntaining at least twelve eorde by actual measurement, The wanton extermination d the buffalo in these territories is a deplor- able fact, and the quantity of bones now to be seen omega a faint idea of the enormous extent of animal life witirh has been sup- ported in the not far clistantpast by the nut. rlttous grasses of tate pretrie.

Our party witedeeply impressed with the vast resources of the North-west territories as yet practically undeveloped, only await- ing the advent of the capitalist and the sturdy, persevering farmer to convert its hidden stores into actual wealth. With a country of such boundless to gni- Inde and resources traversed by a splendid• ly managed and equipped railway, controll- ed by a far-sighted and judicious govern- mend, the future of Cauatla as one of the greatest nations on earth is assured and her position today is utmerallelcci ; coming generations will reverence the memory of these )atriots who opened up the country by C.P.R. intim face of the most determin- ed opposition, The establishment of the :Haunted police for the protection of the set- tlere and the suPpression of evil doers is eery beneficial to t he progress of the country, anti wottltl spacepermit, much might be said of their efficiency and smart soldierly aplpear tnee. At 10130 a.m. on Monday we reached Calgary and after a hearty lunch, partaken of at the Palace lintel, which by the way, is the place to take solid comfort in after a fatiguing railway journey, we went out to do the town, and were surprised to find that Dame Nature .tad anticipated the re- quirements of a modern city here and had provided in one locality first-class, easily worktd stone for building, gravel of good quality for roads and a supply of excellent spring wetter from the Rocky mountains as contained in the picturesque waxers of the Bow end Elbow rivers. With these natural advantages andta fine agricultural country in its vicinity, Calgary is destined to become in the near future one of the leading business centres of Canada. In conclusion, 1 would say that I represent no interested party or company of any des- cription, and merely give you here the honest impressions of the country as receiv- ed in my travels. Scientific Experiments. Experiments made at anotliet xporiment• a1 station suggest tiie following statements: 1. A tool like the disk harrow or like the curved -teeth grading harrow tends to dry the ground rapidly and deeply-. forms like the plow and some fors of cultivators tend. to dry the loosened sail, while the loss of moisture front below is diminished. 3. .)eek) plowing in the spring, especially if the soil is ileavy, and if coarse material be turned under, would tend, unless pre- vented by early, heavy rains, to produce a deficiency of moisture for shallow -rooted plants, and for deep-rooted plants during the early part of the season, by partially cutting off the water supply at a depth below the roots. 4. Shallow plowing or surface stirring would tend to diminish surface evaporation and at the sante time allow capillary action to lift water from below to the roots of young and shallow -rooted plants. 5. Fall plowing and early spring treat- ment with tools like the disk harrow would tend to draw the water to the surface with the minerals held in solution, thus coueen- trating the fertility at the surface for later use, and preventing so much being lost by .underdrainage. The writer states that further investiga- tion is needed to confirm these statements, but it will be seen that they are in accord- ance with the beliefs of our best practical farmers, who judge by general results, without going into the details that are fur- nished by chemical analysis. Feeding trials continued for four years,. warrant the assertion that "exclusive corn feeding for pigs, even after they have ob- tained a good start on Dropsy food tends to dwarf the animal and prematurely fatten it." Also that " it pays to feed sows when suckling pigs so heavily that even the dams will gain rn weight, for the cost of the gain made by the pigs and dam is then cheaper than the gain of the same pigs when grown." " Hogs ate cooked potatoes best when there was the least water in the mashed potatoes." IA. required nearly fo r u and a half pen qads: of potatoes to take the place of onepound of cornmeal." Shorts and potatoes del not. give as good results as cornmeal and pots toes. In a recent number of Hoard's Dairyman the editor told of an incident that occurred nearly a score of years ago in York state, He had been looking over a line herd of dairy cows owned by an intelligent dairy- nein, airynein, ti The cows were standing in the yard, and" saysthe editor, " we were much sub pressed by the strong indications of tone, vigor andthrift whiohmarked every primal in the herd. On inquiry we found that they were not highly fed, yet they looked and appeared better than some herds that cone sumed a much larger daily ration.. "The owner explained the mystery by saying that he ascribed the sueeraor condi- tion of his cows very largely to the caro he had taken in the construction of the stable, to Have it well lighted. His stable was on the south and east side of the barn, and the wall was filled with windows with double sash. The stable was as light es day in every part of it. The ownerreported that he had noticed two peculiar effects : (I) The color of the butter was mueh higher. Sunlight was the secret, One principal reason why wither butter ism much whiter than mutter but- ter is that the cows do not receive as inneli sunlight in the stable as in the pasture. (2) Hebelieved the light and consequentinerease of heat decreased the consumption of food. At any rate lie thought he could winter hits ewe iu the well 1S i lighted stable with a 1 eoaafderablo saving of food over what was consumed in the old stable." Whether sunlight will make yellower but- ter than gloom or not, matters little, but whether the ewe are kept in damp and dark or in the full light of even a winter's sun matters much. Don't IIS afraid of letting ile the light. fight is not cold. Dou't Bute the god In fitting tate shoes many smiths apply the shoe red hot, and keep it to the foot sufficiently long for the shoe to burn a beer- ing for itself, This is an extremely danger- ous Aad pernicious habit, and sltouid not be permitted under any circutustauces. The result of the application of red hot shoes to the foot is to set up a contain amount of in• flaamtion in the seusitivo portion of the foot. The shoe should be only applied sufficiently long to ascertain where the irregularities au the well octet, And these4houltlbereduC. ed either with the knife or rasp, the latter for choice.

Five or seven nails are quite sufficient if the horse has a goon sound foot; too many isaileheve a tendency to split the external wall, and in litany cases cattle lameness. The nails should not be driven more than half way up the external wall, as the wall becomes thinner towards the car - cent, and there may be a possibility of lam. ing the horse by driving them too high. In many cases side olips are used, and in most eases toe clips. The clip is equivalent, or should be made so, to one o, two nails. Tho clip should he of moderate size, and should not be hammered down too tightly. Another common practice is to rasp the external wall after the ensile are clinched. This should never be permitted. A smith Neill remove more in ono reaping than nater° =produce in tierce mouths. The continual rasping will so weaken the foot that after a time it becomes almost impossible to keep a Shoe on. Horses are frequently shod with shoes of great weight. This is entirely unnecessary except in ext:eptional eases. Horses that are regularly shod eau be fitted with a shoe ofmuchlighter weight than those now used. If one takes into consideration the amount of weight a draft horselifts daily in iron for shoes it will be found to be something very considerable. Niow for a tow items which will not be allowed in horsoshootng s Never allow the solo or foot to bo pared out ;;never allow a rod hot shoo to be applied for a long time ; never allow t110 nails to be dzivan up to the hair, and, lastly, never permit the rasp to be applied to the external wall of the hoof.

THE (GHOSTLY 0CCur.Iv'T8 The 01d Lights of London, The history of liglttingg the city is a sub- ject of much Interest. In remote times the city must have presented a very curious as. peat : there was no method of street -lighting at all; the narrow unpaved streets were de- serted when darkness fell except by thieves who found in the want of artificial illumina- tion asplendid confrere to help them in their nocturnal undertakings. notwith- standing the ringing of the curfew bell, and the order that all lights and fires were to be extinguished when its sound was heard, it was soon found that a great city could not conclude all its business at 3 o'clock in the summer or when darkness came over the city in the winter. Kindly disposed citizens as early at the fortcenth century began to hang outside their doors a cominon caudle made of rushes and coarse grease, and these gave a faint glimmer on moonless nights. We find that in the year 1416, in the reign f Henry V, the citizens w ere called upon s a duty to light the streets, and although ome obeyed the injunction, the duty was very inadequately performed. It was the custom then for the ancient watchmen to carry lanterns containing burning candles placed on the top of a long pole, thus light- ing in some small way the streets over which they perambulated. It was in the reign of Queen Elizabeth that the fear of a Spanish invasion drew attention to the dangerous condition of the streets at night. The darkness might hide foul conspirators ; consequently an Order inCoiweil command- ed every householder to do his part in the lighting of the city on pain of death by the common hangman. .this order seems to have excited some attention, for at the pre- sent clay there are to be seen in tine museum underneath the Guildhall Library several of the candlesticks said to havebeon used atthis period for street illumination. The candle- stick consists of a rude bar of iron,having ab its back a rack and a catch by which the socket holding the candle can be raised or lowered.

The pioneers who wont into the woods to lay the foundation of Ontario were the pick of two continents ; and their good qualities have descended to their posterity. of this vehicle have been on the way to Gretna Green for the lust century or so, and have not arrived yet. It is said that an infuriated kinsman overtook the unfortunate pair about this spot and wedded the bricle- grooneelect to King Death, thereby driving the disconsolate young lady to suicide. These are but a fewstories taken at random from many which are religiously believed by the dwellers in "outlandish" parts in spite of the advancing tide of education. Nor is it alone in remote localities that such superstitutions are fostered. The centres of wealth and unitive, of life and activity, are not proof against them. On Coombe Down, near Bath, where nuusy a sanguinary- duel. was fought in the days of Beau Nash, and where the notorious "T'ighting Fitzgerald" is said to have "winged' more than one opponent, spectres of various sorts and sizes have been seen, from the fierce Sir Lucius °'Trigger type downwards, and the vicinity of the `Brass Knocker" has an especially evil reputation. Only a few years ago the village of Batheaston was all agog for weeks concerning :a ghost that was nightly obscrw ed 111 ttiug about the churchyard. It became known as the "Batheaston Ghost," and many blood -curling stories were related of it, till some sceptical fellow brought it down with an old blunderbuss and found id. to he a healthy specimen of the harmless though perhaps unnecessary owl, and even then its reputation survived in the shape of sugar representations, which were sold in the Bath sweetmeat shops to wondering youngsters. At Cheltenham the visitor maystill behold " Maud's Elm." a gigantic hollow tree on the road to the little village of Swindon. A reasonable picnic party could encamp 111 the hollow trunk, and many a bonfire have the local youngsters built there. According to local tradition, a girl, a baby, and a donkey are BURIED BENEATH THIS TREE. The baby and the young woman were re- lated, but record is silent with respect to the gentle ass. A mile or so away on the Tewkesbury road is the " Cross Hands" public house. This spot was the scene of a tragedy in days gone by, and so many im- preseable market women were frightened to death by the • nightly appearance of the victim's spectre that the journey to Tewkes- bury from Cheltenham or vice versa was by many made through the village of Swindon, a much longer route. The spectre was only laid bythe united efforts of e oven clergymen of the Church of England from seven differ- ent parishes, who attended en masse one night for that special purpose.

This want the Emperor William II. lists Slew supplied. At first it was the intention of his `lajesty to have given to the crown the same fot'tn of design as that of the first crown • of .'resale, but the idea had to be abandoned owing to size and shape of the stones. The whole broad frontal of the crown is bordered with largo diamonds, mounted on beautiful gold leaf work, from whieh rise eight diam- ond hoops, each set with four diamonds in the shape of a rosotte,with a row of finales: ge pearls, tate whole being crowned by a cross studded with hrilliaut diamonds. There are also numerous other gems on the crown, Conversation Carried on by Whistling. All the inhabitants, with the exception of a few of the best fatnilies, of the Island of Gomori, one of the Canary group, are able to carry on a simple conversation by the aid of whistling, and over distances at which spok- en words could not be heard. The whistled language does not consist of preconeerted signs and sounds, but every single syllable has its own peculiar note. The whistling is formed by the lips and tongue, or, as in our country, with the kelp of one or two fingers. A German officer, Lieutenant Guedenfeldt, who has been long in the island, attributes this practice to the peculiar configuration of the island, which is broken up into deep chasms, so that near neighbors have to go miles out of their way to visit each other to have a talk together ; this, he says, drove them to adopt whistling as a modeof con• veying their thoughts. The practice is con- fined to this one island, being quite un- known in the other islands of the Archipel- ago. Further discoveries have been made in the excavations under Messrs. Dimsdale, Fowler, and Co.'s bauk in Cornhill, result- ing in a skull and two Roman medals being found. Everything tends to give authority to the claim of St. Voter's, Cornhill, that it stands on the site of the oldest Christian Churchill England, ust wer" The Hon. J. W.
