Better Than a Romance.
The Christmas Farmer's Advocate, of
London, Ont., a copy of which we have
just received, is a graphic revelation of
the agribultural progress of Canada dur-
ing the past fifty years, and of its capa-
cities as a food producer for the British
Empire. The articles reviewing these
and other subjects read equal to a ro-
mance, but, like the half hundred ens
gravingilluetrated its 72 beautiful pages,
they are the faithful portrayal of reali-
ties in every part of Canada, frwn the
bumble home of the settler to tire man-
sions of those who have risen to a com-
petence. Our old contemporary mod-
eatly says little or nothing about its own
33 years service on behalf of the farm-
ing advancement, which, in the opinion
of many best competent to ;judge, has
been probably the moat effective for
good of all agencies.
This number contains the oni--
o

ion Experimental Fared system and the
Ontario Agricultural College. There
are sketches of German Agriculture, by
Prof. Sbuttleworth ; the English Coun-
try Gentleman, by Richard Gibson ;
Reminiaoensea, by, William Miller; Agri-
oultural Education, by Rev. Prin. Bry'.
oe ; Starting Right on. a Prairie Farm,
by Supt. Bedford ; and Canada's Resour-
sea, by the Dominion Statistician; any
one of which is alone worth the price(50
Dents) of the number, which is being
supplied gratis to all new subscribers
for 1t199 at the old rate of 81.00 per
year. Tho design on the front cover
represents Canada as the Empire's Ris-
ing Hope, and the ,poem, "The Path of
the Yeoman" by Mr. Elliott, and John
Bull's Christmas Dinner, by J. W. Ben-
gougb ;"Ramshackle Fermin," by Frank
Stockton, aro among the many features
that will catch the popular fancy in this
aplendid iasue of the Advocate, which
will not only be a benefit., but a sura
