‘his while to speak about it at all, Most persons understood him to say (ironically |of course) that he only knew of one man in ‘the County who had had’nt caught enongh ‘of fish—all the other claimants having ‘declared that they had. Only one man sufficiently honest to own up that he was short in the quantity caught, is a pretty sweeping charge to make against our poor fishermen. ‘Truth’ says 500 Ibs. fish is quantity required. He is only a ton astray in his calculations, bat then this does'nt make it any better for the fishermen— whom the Doctor so unfairly accused of dishonesty, in the House of Commons, last winter. ‘‘Truth”’ is anxious to let the world know that there are no regular fishermen in King’s County. The writer of this ‘‘farms as well as fishes,” but he nevertheless clainis to be aregular fishermen, on the ground that from the time fishing sets in in the spring until it closes in the fall, he devotes his time and energy to the fishing business; and when I do this I claim to be a regular fisherman, and entitled to the bounty, too— when I secure my 2,500 pounds weight of fish. It would have been much becter if Dr. McIntyre had remained silent on this question, as the general impression is that the bounty wonld have been paid before now, but for his meddling interference. Yours truly. Fist! ERMAN. Murray Harbor, June 16, 1884.
A TE
Canadian Horses.
Mr. Dyke, in a letter to the Minister of Agriculture, makes the following among other remarks :—
According to the Canadian census of 183! there were in the Dominion 857,855 horses, and 201,503 colts and fillies, or a total of 1,059,358, to a population of 4,324,810, or about 24 horses to every 100 persons.
=| Horned cattle number about 81 to every
100 of the population, but it is a question whether, in the Dominion, the value of the horses flesh, if the owners’ valuation were taken, would fall much short of that of horned cattle.
In the United Kingdom, including the Isle of Man, and the Channel Islands, there were 1,898,748 horses, or five only to every 100 of the population.
The demand for horses in Great Britain is continually on the increase, whilst the statistics show that the number of brood mares is annually decreasing. The agri- cultural returns contain one item of special limportance to Canada—namely, that the jnumber of unbroken horses kept for breed- ing purposes has decreased by 9,000 al though the horses used for work in agricul- ture have increased by 6,000. I respect- ny submit that no part of the world stands ‘in such a good position to supply horses to | England as does the Dominion of Canada,
in 1881, whilst visiting Canada, I had the honor of escorting Col. Kerbrect and Capt. H. de la Chere, two officers sent by the French Government to ascertain what chances there were of securing horses in the Dominion for the French Government, and they felt much disappointed at the small number of really good useful stallions which were to be found at the leading fairs which we visited in the Province of Ontario. Still, there is no reason why the horse trade from the Dominian to Great Britain and Europe should not be as im-
portant a one, if not in numbers, at any rate in value, as that from the Australian colonies to India.
Messrs. Douglas and Hendric of Hamil- ton and Toronto, have, for many years, been successfully engaged in exporting Canadian carriage horses and hunters to Great Britain. Several of their importa- tions have secured first honors in the lead- ing exhibitions in Great Britain, in keen competition with the best horses in that country. The difficulty they experience is not so much in finding customers willing to pay high prices, as in finding suitable horses in Canada for export. Mr. T. C. Patterson, of Toronto, who has effected so much for the horse-breeding interests in the Dominion, for many years endeavored to induce breeders in Canada to use Eng- lish thoroughbred sires, and it is generally admitted that all that is required, so far as carriage horses are concerned, is a little more breeding or quality. For stamina and endurance Canadian horses are prob- ably unequalled.
The latest testimony as to their fleetness, as hunters, given by Lord Melgund, mili- tary attache to His Excellency Lord Lans- downe, who states that he has never been better carried over timber than by some native-bred Canadian horses with which he has lately made acquaintance.
The improvement in the breed of horses in the Dominion is not only of importance to Canada, but to the empire, as, in the event of war, England would undoubtedly have to look to the Dominion for remounts for her army.

Farm and Garden Notes.
| Currivation or Roor Crops,—A great imistake is often committed in growing lroots, in the ambition of obtaining such as (are of large size, and getting an extra quan- tity per acre. We ought rather to strive for those of medium sizo, and of the best
The Doctor ,4222i/y; for one bushel of these may con-
jtain more nutriment than two, or even three jbushels of overgrown specimens; and furthermore, greatly lessen the labor of digging, storing, and feeding. We heve seen roots so large as to be little better then wooden. Animals would not eat them unless excessively hungry, and when they did so, they were more or less indigestible and aflorled little nutriment.—National Live Stock Journal, Chicago.
In setting cabbage plants, it is better to pull, or cut off, all the large leaves, leaving only the small central] ones. The outer leaves are of noservice to the young plant, for the reason that therouts cannot supply them with moisture, so that they wilt and die. Jaan experiment, made several years ago, we secured » better stand from plants so treat- ed than from those which were set with their leaves entire, as they were taken from the seed bed.
Erapicatine Sorrer, —This weed, being seldom seen on rich land which is well eul- tivated, the proper remedy seems to be to apply heavy dressings of manure and cul- tivate thoroughly in some hoed crop. In some localities a top dressing of air-slacked lime, at the rate of 25 bushels or more per acre, has enabled other crops to crowd out the sorrel. One correspondent, a year or two ago, reported that a free application of common salt killed the sorrel without in- juring the grass,
Many weeds, if cut up while in flower, still have nutriment enough in their stems and leaves to perfect and ripen a crop of seeds. More especially if damp and rainy weatherjoccurs at the time. Hence the mere cutting of many weeds, and leaving them to dry upon the ground does little towards their extermination. The better way is to remove all such tenacious weeds to a com- mon pile and let them heat, and burn them with other rubbish. It is one thing to cut up weeds with the hoe, the other is equally important.

There are great rejoicings in Vienna over the discovery of two long missing cantatas of Beethoven written in 1790 and 1792. Both Marx and Thayer have referred to these compositions, but the recent dis- covery wrs accidental. A Viennese mer- chant of musical tastes came across them in a register of a Leipsic antiquary. The dealer said he bought them with a lot of old music from that well-known musician, Johann Nepomuk Hummel. It is con- s'dered marvellous that they were not dis- covered before, as Leipsie is such a resort for keen-eyed investigators.
‘Singular as it may seem,” observes the Boston Transcript, ‘the telephone has been the best friend of the telegraph. Just as the elevated railroads in New York increas- ed street travel, and made the horse rail- roads more profitable, just as electric light- ing educated the eye to light and largely increased the consumption of gas, and just as the use of the telegraph increases the postal revenues, so the telephone has educated the whole country to a more liberal use of all methods for quick communica tion, and largely increased the telegraph revenues. ”
The Pall Mall Gazette, in discussing the proposed basis for the deliberations of the Egyptian conference, says: ‘*The Daily News admits that the British occupation of Egypt is to be limited, that England is to advance £3,000,000 to the Egyptian treasury, and that an International institu- tion is to be formed to receive moneys hypothecated for the debt and all the re- venues of the country. France objects to England’s advancing the £8,000,000 and wishes to refer the question to the confer- ‘ence.” The Gazette expresses the belief ‘that no one outside of the Cabinet will put ‘up With theve terms.
