Two years ago few would allow that there was anything bad. By-and-by we shall understand that like every other country itis a mixture of good and bad. Wemnay be thankful for en- ormous acres of good land, vast fertiie plains that shali be an iaberilance for our children’s children, unless we go on beFging strangers—in mercy to us —to come and enter on the possesion of 160 acres apicee, without necessarily faneving that it is better than Ontario or Nova Scotia. I, for one, would be very thankful for another Ontario. The North-West has many disadvaat- ages. The one that will be felt most sorely for many a day was the “boom’ of two years ago that unsettled values and demoralized the people. Floods, graashoppers, early frosts, monopolies, chameleon land-policy have been small evils compared to thedrinking and gambling, the rage for speculating engendered,the laying out of imaginary town.sites and consequent cheating by wholesale, the formation of wild-cat companies, the fictitious value every- where, the altempt to build up towns before there was any country to support them, «nd all the other evils connected with the craze to get money suddenly, to get it without working, and to get it at ether people’s expense. Grey-haired men seemed to lose not only their old- fashioned honesty, but their senses. They talked as if half amillion or a millon of people could be poured into a couotry by One road ina year or five or six months, and a wilderness of stub- born glebe turned into the garden of the Lord, by affixing names to town- sites and locating railway stations. The settlement of the North-West will take time, and the more time it takes the better for the country in the end. In- tending settlers, too, had better make up their minds to endure hardships or stay at home, for they need not expect to escape what has been, and always will be, the fate of the average immi- grant. The men who made Ontario and the older provinces wereof the right stuff. Soe arethe men who have settled in Minnesota, and Dakota,bardy Norwegians. Swedes, Welshmen, Canadians who lived at first on potatoes and milk, and were blind to the neces- sity fo: completing railways before they had obtained patents for homesteads. The change wrought by them on the appearance of these prairie Sta‘es in tne years is marvellous. Men of the same stamp have gone into oir North-West, aud usless we flood the country with a baser sort, jike will draw to like. But it cannot be told too plainly that for years to come nobody need go to the North-West, but workers and that al- most the only workers needed are farmers. There is hardly any honest way of meking a living there except by taking it out of the ground.

Trebizond.

The Euxine has labored under the misfortune of having few or no harbors on the southern side,which has resulted to the advantage of Russia, which owns the whole of the northernand eastern shore, and the best harbors. It is not so long agosince Trebizond was a sort ofemporium for the Circassian slave trade. I well remember, whea residing at Trebizond, seeing the little cousters creeping into the roadstead with their decks crowded with Cireassian girls for the harems of Constantinople. There is another cireumstanee of my life there which is still vivid in my memory. One diy the Turkish teacher failed to come at the appoipted hour. The next

Ostrich Farming in California.

Ostrich farming, which has proved so profitable in Southern Africi, is be- ing tried with fair success in Cali- fornia. The farm is situated near Anaheim, and comprises 640 acres. of alkali soil. To obviate this evil the ground was ploughed very deep, water turned on if, which, after being allow- edto remain asbort time, was drawa off; thus taking with it a portioa of the alkali in solution. This was repeated untilthe land was in a condition to be cultivated, Ostrich eggs are about six inches long, by five wide, and@ are equal in bulk to twenty-four hens’ eggs; the ehick is hatched in forty-two days, and shortly attains the size of an erdia- ary hen; a light brown down covers it, and at the back and wings are projecting needles similer toa hedgehog. At the age of one month the size of a turkey is reached, and smail feathers begin to appear, At six months the plumes have attuined a good size, but are net cast off until the bird becomes a yearling. Young ostriches are keptin flecks from twelve to fifteen, are separated from the old ones, and are gentle and tractable, but-after'three years become yicious and deceitful. Blindfolding them —which is doue by drawing @ stocking over their heads—generally takes away their pugnacity, for they will net kick without knowiog what they are attempt- ing tostrike, Theeggs are not fruit- ful because, as the owner states,the birds are getting acclimatised, and it isa well- known fact thateggslaid by birds in captivity are barren. Even if all attempts to hatch the eggs should fail, the value of the feathers alone will cover the expense of tending the animals forthe year. These are generally cut only once 4 year, cut with great care and attention two or even three crops of feathars can be obtained. The best plumescome from North Africa, but the crop is small compared with that of Cape Colony, Natal, and the Transvaal, Since 1862 ostrich farming has greatly increased in these countries, and it is now estimated that there are 100,000 domestic ostriches, which yield feathers worth £9,000,000.
