THE FODDER QUeSTION

In last week's LTwpart 4i w Rev Father Burke speaking to westera farmers : has tuis to say Ou the important qu: ation of | f.iwr which wil] pot prove uninterest ng |

;

to the eastern farmers: — i

“f. my hurriedly made address, being |

cal ed to my feet withouta moment te col! «t my tuoughts, I fear I may bave ead thinges,or left them to Le inferred

wit wether forego to my intention. I spoke for ivstance, among other things, of fodder cor aud regretted that the last two seasons bail been so unfavorable to its growth as to » wost entirely discourage growers. = didu’t intend however that they snould be thus discouraged; on the contrary | am more desirous than ever that everyone should plant coro—gool cera and plenty of t. Of couise this predieates the baild- ing ot silos. And how, in the face of the last two years results, can I couosel its growth? Think fora moment. We must have fodder, When we have an abundance of it of aay kind we are easy in our minds. Now all will bave remarked that tue year that is unfavorable to coro is favorable to hay and straw crops, ‘and ice versa, & Wet season gives us un abun dance of those foddere, and is adverse corn growing which requires heat. Hay and s. aw,as fed by us,is not such a fodder as ensilage, but we can get along with it fairly well, avd if we make a temporary silo - baxes 3x3x3 with & cover--and as Mr. ( bapais advised, steep “cut hay and straw io them for 30 boars, we have really @ greru fodder for our cows and one which willg ve good results. They do this in the province of Quebec, where fodder corn does not appear to do overly weil. So then, in vear= unfavorable tocorn we can tollow this plan; for we'll have the material. Now, in dry -easons when the hay aod straw crop i sbort on well farmed jands and nil on yeor ones, the corn crop is likely, aye, sur: to be, goo}; aod this will tide the tarercver bis fodder difficulty. The prudent farmer will, therefore, oo more desis from growing corn becau-e be has bad « couple of bad years than he will from growing wheat because it does not always turn out well. Sow all,and of one or theother you'!!| have sufficient fur all purposes. Thi< isthe time to think these matters over. Ard as I bave ran before, I hope every farmer who plaats corn —and I hope all wili do so—will get his seed good aud test: himself by planting 10 grains in a tin can of earth. The proportion of good seed will immediately be discovered. If this opinion, which certainly is confirmed by the experience of many growers,"be true there i no excuse for any tarmer who does pot p ovide himeelf agaist fodder famine by tue planting of corn every year as a watier of course”

Io the same letter, whica’ bristles with practical suggestions and advice, Yat ier Burke thus indicates

v Lue eccapiers of low lands in late seasons

bow to vvercome their difficulty :—

*‘[v-+ b2en thinking, too, thatthia is a *pieod Lyear to commence the work in Tigoi->. Unfortanately many sections of the c uoty up there haveno grain. Late

sOwing and the wet season have brought abou: thes reault. Bat all have an abui- dance of todder. This late grain is not fi. :o thrash, but an excellent ration for the cov. Suppose those people bad a proper herd of cows and were patronizing a factory. The loss they experience today won! almost disappear. And they may bawe just euch a season any year. Then let the u get into dairying at once ani save them-se ves from ruin.”

LETTER FROM HON. DD, DAVIES, Sirn,—Returning to ‘ue of improv ments South and fronting

q iestion sewerage and other Cuv: I think that

West sides the

storms In summerand by spring freshets | the |

have, at their own cost ad to the river +o that in the section of the cry south and Riebaond Street we do not need any expensive sewerage system.

river froat

On the north side of Queen Square the |

land lave low; there is no natural drainage. When | was a boy I used to skate Ov ponds that are now covered with houses in that part of the city, and alsoto the low lving land east of Quirk’s Bakery Street.

Sh pbuilding has passed away, the bulk of our exports are made by foreign steamers whioh leave nothing behind them exce;t a few dollars fur labor; the tendency ot country trade bas been to the north sid: of Queen Square, where [think the value o' property has not declined. On the sout side of the square it has gone down very much ia value. Now if I em righ., it is the north side of Queen quires sewerage aud the eastern and west ern section of Ward 3,or Queen S juare Ward.

Since the introduction of a supply of pure water into the city, there has been an outbeak of typboid fever. I notice by the English papers that there | a. Leen a severe outbreak of typhoid fever io the growing” districtof Maidstone, in Kens. Thousands of labourers go duwa there from London in hop-picking _ season and are huddled together in mad huts. I notice that the opinion of medical men —who are experts —is that the outbreak of the

pure water of the River Avon, charged # ith sediment and sewage, osggrasaed by the huddling together of the hop pickers in bovels.

From what I lave said, the inference to be drawn would be that we have vo special need for sewerage on the river front uf the city, but that Wards 4 and 5 aod pet of Ward 3 require a systein of sewerage: or the cheaper method of the dry earth system of water-closets with ecavengere to remove the night -orl.

I find my subject growing on my hands and must not trespass too much Oa the ej; ave of your daily iseue, and will bave to asK you for space for another letter.

MAKING READY FOR A RUN.

Groomed as a Race Horse. “Running the Fast Express’’ is the title of an article by George Ethelbert Walsh in St. Nicholas. Mr, Walsh says: The engineer comes down to his post

is scheduled to leave. All night long in the roundhouse the engine has been carefully watched; a wiper has spent the whole night rubbing down the pant- ing, snorting iron horse until every rod and cylinder shines like gold or silver; hanked fire has been kept going, so that a little steam has been always in the boxes, and before he left at night the fireman put everything in perfect the cab. The fireman ap- pears first in the morning and inspects | the work of the r men, and if any part is not satisfactory he makes it so. The engineer makes his inspection after the fireman and thoroughly and carefully examines every part. All the bearings are then oiled, and the oil cups are filled with oil. Next the engine is run out of the roundhouse and tested. Fifteen minutes before the time to start the engine is coupled to the train, and the steam and airbrakes are tested. No race horse was ever brought to his post better fitted for running the course ' than is che locomotive of the fast ex- press. In addition to the tests already made, a mechauic goes from wheel to wheel, and upon every strikes a sharp, resounding blow to ascertain if the wheel and axle are sound. Nutsand bolts are examined. The engineer and fireman are held responsible for the per- fect condition of the engine and cars be- fore the start is made.

FAMILY DISPUTES.

How They Were Once Settled by Fair Fight In Court,

In some parts of Germany, when the relations of husband and wife become strained, so to speak—in other words, birth to new squabbles and the man’s hand is as ready as the woman’s tongue—the couple were brought before the magis- trate, who, after listening to recrimina- tions, ordered them to prepare for the ordeal by battle. The man was placed in a cask, which was then nearly filled with sand, so that he was covered up to the waist. In some towns a pit was kept handy for the purpose, just as the duckiug stool was kept on Bankside, op- posite St. Paul’s. When he was thus half buried, the man received a short stick for his right hand, while his left hand was tied up across his chest. He was thus one armed and could only de- liver his blows if his opponent came near enough.

The lady put on a linen garment, the right sleeve of which was lengthened. In the end was tied up a stone. The sleeve projected about 12 inches beyond her hand. She bad thus a formidable weapon, but in order to use it she had to get close to the enemy. Now observe the situation and the chances. If she suceceded in bringing the stone down upon her husband's head, she might knock him senseless; she might even brain him, but in order to do so she would expose herself to the full plow of his stick. The battle might, in fact, be settled by a single assault. But mark the craftiness of man. It was better to make a woman ridiculous than to knock her silly. The husband, therefore, if he was a philosopher, did not try to hit his wife; he warded her blows with his stick. He tried to catch the sleeve upon his stick; then the stone flew round and round and the lady was caught. She could not move, and the victorious hus- band dragged her unwilling head first into his cask.—London Gueen.

A Crusher.

An amusing story is told of the crown princess of Italy, who excited so much interest during her recent visit to Lon- don. The Montenegrin royal family is one of the oldest in Europe, but also one of the poorest, and the court is not large. When Princess Helene arrived in Rome, a distinguished lady in waiting tried to patronize her, but the crown princess effectually put a stop to this at once. ‘“‘Your royal highness must find the court life a great change. The etiquette eid stiffuess must be very novel to your cuyal highness,’’ was the remark made, but the princess replied, with sang froid, ‘*On the contrary, I think it is wonder- ful hew well things are done at court here—considering it is so very ‘new.’ °’ —Exchange.

Headaches.

For most aches of the head ibe hot water bag is a good friend, but when the face has the flush and the eyes show a peculiar look which tell of a congest- ive headache then heat in that neigh- borhood is insupportable. Instead of this apply cold. If you Lave no ice bag, fill your hot water bag pretty full of ice water, put in pieces of ice as large as will pass the mouth and lay this at the back of the patient’s neck. Applied to the armpits and wrists, ice often affords great relief to the sufferer.

When Mr. Labouchere, the English journalist, was in St Petersburg at one time, he saw the Dutch minister at a reception dive his hand deep into a box of cigars placed for the use of visit- ors and fill his pockets full of them be fore going.
