. . \DIAN HORSE-BREEDING. | The Government returns show that the |

pun! f unbroken horses in Canada for

1297 106,809, as againat 123,482 for 1895, ud 151,867 for 1895, or a re- du f nearly 17,000 as compared with 1886, .»d of 46,000 as compared with 1895 This 1+ evidence how much the breeding of horse= i.a¢ fallen off. The number of breedi» < maree, however, is put down at 69,940 ior 1897, as against 66,883 for 1896, an incr. ase of 3,000, which is some com fort. Sut unless we breed the horse, that buyers wantwe cannot expect our

hor-e ceeding operations to prosper.

Comnestiog upoa this fact, “Farming” says; “Jar principal market for horses is Engian‘, aud an English buyer rarely finds on this wontinent the sort of horae he needs. he Americans are realizing this fact, aud are waking up to its importance. Last year, outof the millions of horses raised ty the United States only 25,126 were exported, and eniy 13,948 the year before. this state of things the Americans are <«d-sermining to improve. The

United siates Government Department of Agrieuliure are instructing the people every lere what sort of horses are needed for export, and are determined that the supp'y shall be forthcoming. In‘ their own laoguage: “America is competing with the world for the Exaglish trade, and iv order to hold a share of it we mud, prodav+ what the Eoglish want.” This, as Furiing well remarks,-is precisely how the case stands with Canada also.

CLOVERS AS GREEN MANURES.

Tux practice of green manuring, or the turuing under of growing crops, is coming more iato favour as its merits are better knows. Experience has shown it to be often tLe best and most ecovotnical method of improving a soil, both chemically and mechanically. It furnishes humus and nitrogea, both necessary to fertility, and does an excellent work in preparing soil food fur fature crops. The humas thus eupplied increases the retentive power of light so.) for meistare, ameliorates the couditi-n of heavy clays, and regulates the soil temperature. By the carbonic acid liberated in its decay, che inert plant food of the svil is dissolved. Briefly atated, these ure the chief physical advantages of green manuring. The elements that compoee bamus, with the exception of its nitrog-n, are derived entirely from the atmusplere, sothatin the benefits confer- red by the presence of humus and ite de- cow position there is a distinct gain.

Farther, we may well suppose that the miueral matter or ash constituents of the gr.en crop are, by the decay of the latter in the evil, set free jaa condit‘on more or less immediately available to plants. Hence, although, euch a method of manu- ring bas not added to the total of mineral food ta the soil, it has materially enhanced its vabue by conversion into more assimi!- able forms. But it is in supplying nitrogen that green mandring has its principal value. Whenvemploying rye, buckwheat or other plants not legumes, the nitrogen stored within the tissues of the crop has been obtained from the soil. But with the legumes (clover, pease, &c.,) the case is different. They, under favourable conditions, have the power of appropriating the larger portion of their nitrogen from the atmoepbere. On account of this property they bave, therefore been termed “nitrogen

LORD FARRAR ON THE BETRAYAL.

eee

Within a few days Mr. Asquith and Lord Rosebery, speaking for the Liberal party, bavé declared that Mr. Chamber- Jain’s echeme for an imperial tariff prefer- ence on colonial products was dead and buried. Both -speakers credited Sir Wilfrid Lanrier with a sbere in the slaughter. Now we have the further statement of Lord Farrar, the chief speaker of the Cobden Club. He writés that when Mr. Chamberlain outlined his zelverein echeme the teodency eeemed to be making in faver of the idea. But the meeting of the colonial premiers has in his opinion changed the aspect of affairs and he agrees with the liberal chief that the zolverein idea is dead. Lord Farrar knows that Canada was the origoator of the proposition, that it had the eudoree- ment of the Jate Canadian parliament, and was strongly supported in th: associated chambers of commerce of the empire. He may not know that Sir Wilfrid Laurier had in Canada pledged his own support to the project, or that since his retura to Canada he has declared that any Canadian would be a fool tooppose it. But Lord Farrar does know that Sir Wilfrid Laurer, when hewent with the other premiers to the imperial conference, lifted his voice against the preferential system and told the imperial government that Canada did not ask or desire a preference for her goods in the British market. Lord Farrar knows that this official declaration, coming from the part of the empire which had led in the agitation tor preferential trade, war the death blow to Mr. Chamber- lain’s zolverein scheme. That is the reason that Sir Wilfrid wears on his breast the Cobden Club medal. Sir Wilfrid’s declaration as premier ef Canada _ ie the reason why Mr. Chamberlain now says that he would not touch preferential trade with a pair of tongs. It is the reason that Mr. Asquith and Lord Rosebery are able to taunt the colonial secretary ,with the an- nouncement that his scheme is dead and buried.

After all this the people have a right to ask Sir Wilfrid Laurier one thing. Let him now have the decency to stop talking in favor of an imperial preference on Canadiav goods, and refrain from saying that he would have got it if he could. Surely we have a right to ask that our betrayer should not continually remind ue of the betrayal.—St. John Sun.

A Musical Mousetrap. _ Acting upon the idea that mice very sensitive to music, a Belgian has substituted a musical mousetrap for the common trap. Instead of baiting the apparatus with a bit of cheese or lard the ‘inventor has hidden in a double bottom a small music box, which plays automatic- ally various popular airs of the country. The mice, he insists, are drawn irresistibly toward the music box, and in order to hear better they step into the trap and find themselves prisoners.

Webster Her Coachman.

When Mrs. Sherwood, the author, who is best known as ‘‘M. & W. &.,”’ was a young girl, she visited Daniel Webster, at Marshfield, with her father and mother. Mrs. Webs®r met them in her carriage, and the little girl was al- lowed to sit next Mr. Webster on the driver’s box. She was elated indeed when her futher put her up there and whispered in her ear:

‘*‘Remember this, my daughter—yon |

At dinner he embarrassed her much by repeating the remark asa piece of youthful precocity.—Youth’s Compan- ion. bs

The Sultan’s Punch.

In Max Mauller’s honor the sultan gave him a dinner. Of course Mrs. Max Muller was not invited, but the lady, in her ‘‘Letters From Constantinople,’’ describes it, and the little incident how the sultan drew the line between wine cud punch is amusing:

“Nobody spoke except the sultan, whose conversation with the embassa- dor was most animated, though carried on entirely by an interpreter. My hus- band, not knowing the Turkish eti- quette, began to talk French to his neighbors, but received such very short answers that he, too, relapsed into silence, The sultan, who had evidently seen this, beckoned to Munir Pasha, who whispered something to the minis- ters of war and marine and began to talk very pleasantly, empouraged by a look from the sultan not to mind such a breach of etiquette. Neither the sultan nor any of the officials present had a drop of wine. None was on the: table, nor was any handed roand except to uubelievers. The claret, however, was so good that my husband could not re- sist asking the grand master of cere- monies, ‘Who tasted and chose the wine for the imperial table?) He shrugged his shoulders, as thongh he would say, ‘You can guess.’ One of the items of the menu was punch. It was iced punch, smelling so strongly that every ove could perceive the alcohol in it, but neither the sultan nor any of his guests were afraid of it. 1t was called punch, und pera is not forbidden in the Ko

FRIENDS PREVAILED

A Nervous Toronto Woman Walked the Floor During the Night for Hours at a Time—She Makes a Statement.

TORONTO, ONT.—‘‘I was troubled with nervousness. It was impossible for me to keep still and if the spells came over me during the night I had to get up and walk the floor for hours at a time.

» My blood was very poor and I was subject to bilious attacks, and I was not able todo my own house- work. I treated with two of the best physicians here but only received relief tor a time. I became discouraged. One day a friend called and advised me to try Hood’s Sarsaparilla. I laughed at thead- vice but I was prevailed upon and pro- cured one bottle. Before I used it all I began to feel better. I took several bot- tles and also several boxes of Hood’s Pills. Now I can eat and drink heartily and sleep soundly. Hood’s Sarsaparilla has entirely cured meand also strengthened me so that I now do all my own work. I cheerfully recommend Hood’s Sarsapa- rilla to all sufferers from nervousness, weakpess or general debility.” Murs. H. F. Parm, Degrassi Street.

In the Case of the Elevator Man It Should Be Discouraged.

The man who insists on the ele- vator man being in the car before he will go im is usually looked upon by the man of many ups and downs as foolish- ly careful, but owners of buildings who are held responsible for the safety of their tenants while riding in the eleva- tors are pleased to see them firm on that point. It may look well fora uni- formed man to step aside and ask the passengers to precede him into the ele- vator cage, but many persons will agree with the man who made the complaint thet it is acase of politeness which should be discouraged in the interest of eafety.—New York Tribune.
