Heath Soils and Rust.

| What is a heath soil? It ig a soil which, in a natural state, produces a stunted growth of shrubby *‘ heath plants” in place of the tall growth of foreat trees which flourishes ow dry, good lands. In our Is- lind, we call such svils ‘‘ barrens” and , “swamps.” They are clothed with a thick shrubby growth of laurel, Labrador tea, andromeda, and blue berries, with willows and black spruces.” Their most clayey parts ‘hold ponds of water, where club rushes and sedges flourish, These svils are invariably damp, cold and infertile, and it is because ithe better classes of plants refuse ta grow {on them that they are left to produce, ina state of nature, a growth of plants which would fiourish even within the’ Arctic circle. They occupy clay flats whether oc- curring on hills or ja hollows, and always have aclay subsoil, Extensive spreads of heath lands oceur in Prince County, cover- ing the stratified clays of that part of our Island. When such lands are plowed up, underneath an inch or two of black mould, the soil is found to be white or grey. This grey color is caused by the iron which it contains being in the state gf protoxyde, } which is grey, net ved. These soils often contain concretions of bog iron ore the size ofa man’s thumb. I have seen these fill the ditches by the by the roadside on the

western barrens, like accumulations of gravel. With this beg iron ore is found ‘tblue iron earth,” or phos-

phates of izon. Under cultivation ‘‘ heath |*

svils”” may make good grass lands, but they are unprofitable for roots or grain in our climate. In Europe they are called heaths or moors, and are esteemed the poorest class of agricultural lands. Shakespeare calls such ‘* the blasted heath.”

Of this character wes Liebig’s soil No. 12, to whioh our attention has been lately directed. We know that it was a ‘‘ heath]. soil” from the following circumatances {J Ist, Liebig classifies it among his ‘‘ Soils of Heaths ;” 2nd, the large amount of pro- toxide (grey) of iron which it contained ; 3rd, the very large quantity of phosphate of iron which it contained. This being a heath soil ics natural dampness alone would maké grain grown on it liable to rust. Being

well cultivated and drained would only re- medy this in part. It would still be a close, retentive soil, retaining double the moisture held by kindly soils. Liebig tells us that soils which have bog ore ig them tend to rust grain. (See No. 7 ) He then says that soils with phosphate of iron rust grain. We may well ask which is it? It cannot be the latter, for land dress- ed with sufiicient lime to neutralize the phosphate of iron was still subject to rust.

Scott Act. At the annual meeting of the Y. M.C.

A., held on Monday evening, Dec. 30, the following question came up: As the object for whicithe Y. M. C. A was formed, viz:

he cultivating of a more friendly feeling

between the different denominations has. been accomplished, as well as providing Christian work for young men, and a home where they can gather and be kept from questionable places of resort, what steps can we, or should we take to make the in- stitution still more useful to the ecom- munity ?

Many suggestions were made. My ob- ect in writing this article is to make an-

other suggestion to the adjourned meeting, . to be held on the 13th January.

Believing that the question of enforeing

our Scott Act, and of saving our young men from becoming ¢runkards, rests in a large measure with the churches, I suggest that the Y. M. C. A. be made the medium through which it can be accomplished. We have influential and representative men in all our churches, whom, if formed into an executive committee, conld take this work in hand, aided by the temperance societies, and stamp this monstrous evil from our midst.

The Y. M. C. A. could be used as the

common platform upon which we could meet. the city would heartily co-operate.

WAY IS IT?

EOPLE WONDER why it is that SAN-

P DERSON & CO. have, in such a short time, built up a business and reputation second to none in the city. Ask their Creditors. They will tell you that SANDERSON & CO. pay promptly and secure the largest discounts, which enables them to SELL CHEAP.

Ask their Customers. They will tell you that SANDERSON & CO. keep the best Tea and Flour, the freshest, best-assorted and cheapest stock of Groceries, and give better value in return for their Money, Eggs and Butter, than any store in the city, Their claim to being the cheapest and the best is well sustained. :

Ask Them, Themselves. They will tell you that SANDERSON & CO, have neither time or money to get up or pay for flash advertise- ments, which only amuse intelligent pur- chasers, and usually indicate an unsaleable stock, while, on the other hand, the extra value that SANDERSON & CO. give, brings them back—with a neighbor—every time.

(If a dressing of lime would save us from rust would not we farmers be happy!) In fact it was neither; but it certainly was the excessive moisture held by the soil where these compounds occur. in heath and swamp lands which make them grey, which makes the conditions for the deposition of bog ore and blue iron earth, which makes them cold and infertile, and lastly, moisture, moisture which makes them subject to rust

Many People Starving BECAUSE THE NEWFOUNDLAND GOVERNMENT NEGLECTED TQ FORWARD RELIEF—A HAR- ROWING STORY FROM FLOWERS’ COVE.

The 8. S. Harlaw arrived at. midnight from the west cost of Newfoundland, via Sydney, C. B. While the Harlaw was at Bonne Bay, a messenger arrived from Flowers’ Cove, Straits of Belle Isle, with messages, informing the government that about one hundred and thirty persons were in a starving condition, and unless some relief could be sent them, they must in all probability die of starvation. The coast steamer Conscript was then despatched with provisions and proceeded as far north as White Bay where she met with heavy ice and was unable to proceeded further, and was compelled to return to St. John’s. It will be remembered that more than two months ago a report was brought to Halifax that a number of. people in the vicinity of Flowers Cove were at_ that time in great need of relief. Mr. Payne (of John Silver & Co.) at once took steps to have some provisions sent from Halifax,and when the facts were known .a number of our leading men kindly offered to subscribe. Just at this time a report also came that the Newfoundland Government would send the necessary relief. On hearing this our people let the matter drop, and it now ap- pears nothing further was done by the New- foundjand Government until the messenger arrived at Boone Bay with urgent requests. It is now impossible t> reach them by the north as the ice has already blocked part of the cuast. There is yet a possibility of reaching them via the west coast but up to the time the Harlaw left Channel nothing

same energy were put forth by us as was, manifested when the smallpox epidemic broke out in our midst some years ago, we would goon be rid of the evil of intemper- ance,—an evil much worse than smallpox; for while the latter can only destroy the body, the former destroys body and soul. A rum shop ought to be flagged just ag much as a house in which smallpox is known to be; and when we, as Christians and citizens take up the matter as we ought, those who are defying the law and dealing out death and damnation to our rising gen- eration will see that we mean business, and close up.

There is another matter that ought to be dealt with, viz., the prosecuting of those

drug stores who on every Sabbath day sell

cigars and tobaeco. Let any person make

an observation some Lord’s Day, and they

will be surprised at the number, among whom are 2, great many young men who, on Sabbath evenings particularly, supply them- selves with cigars at ourdrug stores. It is right and profitable for-us to have weeks of prayer, &c., and ask God to pour out His holy spirit and save the people from sin,

will do His. I, for one, feel convinced that untess we,

as Christians, do our duty in the matter, God will hold us accountable for it.

All it wants is for the right parties to take the. lead, and many will! be found to help.
