Ir is significant that one so wide-awake and judicious as Mr. John West, one who has travelled a large part of the Continent, should, when he wished to devote his at- to and to make a home- stead for himself, decide to ‘* settie down” Those f our farmers who are disposed to

prising one hundred and thirty-two acres,

and the ‘‘ Kelvin Grove Farm ” near by, comprising a bundred and fifty acres. Upon the side of a small hill or elevation,

near the middle of the former, he has lately erected a fine barn measuring eighty-four

by fifty-one feet. A large stone-walled frost-proof cellar extends along under the eastern side of the barn; and the ample for horses and cattle are close by.

the whole forming, when completed, a large and very convenient and comfortable steading in which to raise stock.

Mr. West has already accumulated a. hord of twenty-seven head of cattle -and twelve He procured a number of Mr. D. S. Hunt, who chased them, or their immediate ancestors, from the herd of the late Hon. J. C. Pope. Among the horses are several very tinely bred brood mares and fillies.

Though Mr, West is not yet in a position to feed in strict accordance with his idea of feeding, his efforts in that direction have certainly been rewarded with marked suc- Horses and cattle alike are in good

This makes a most palatable and satisfactory meal, which is disposed of in a very short time, and usually induces horned cattle to lie down, chew the cud, and take om fat. To the feed of cattle which are being prepared for the butcher, as well ag to that fur horses, miich cows, etc., there is added at fixed times, a portion of cracked grain, which als» comes down through the trap in the barn floor.

It may be asked: If Mr. West feeds all his straw, how does he provide bedding ? winter he obtained sawdust from a neighboring mill. The floors of his stable arc water proof, and the saw dust, scattered under and behind the cattle, ab- sorbes all the urine,—thus saving this im- portant fertilizer. This year he will have a quantity of biack bog mud from the swamp hauled, dried and stored in a con- venient part of the cellar; and will use it f the urine.

THE DAILY EX

Notes and Clippings.

The Halifax Herald remarks that ‘‘ the united counties of Leeds and Granville voted on the petition to repeal the Scott Act last Thursday, with the result that a majority of 1,000 was secured for its repeal. Four years ago the act was adopted with a majority of 674. Three more On- tario counties vote on petitions to repeal the same act on the 9th of next month, viz; Oxford, Lambton and Middlesex. It looks now as if the Act would be repealed in every Ontario County that adopted it.

A Washington despatch says that Con- sul-General Waller, at London, reports a weneral revival of the trade and commerce of the United Kingdom. The improve- ment in business is especially noticeable in the shipbuilding industry. The value of goods imported into the United Kingdom from the United States, in 1887, was $415,- 245,370, and exported thereto, $201,200,- 750, an increase of $7,244,385 in imports, and of $13,161,725 in exports over the pre- vious year.

Moncton Times : The Amherst Sentinel publishes tigures showing that the assessed value of Cumberland increased from §$4,- 392,701 in 1880 to $6,571,002 in 1889 and remarks: ** People were generally impressed with the idea that the countrv was prosper- ing, but the returns of the assessors did not show it.’’ What a pity (from the Grit stand- point of course) that ‘* people were gener- ally impressed with the idea that the coun- try was prosperous.” And then to think of the rude awakening ! An increase in value of only 50 per cent. in nine years! The Sentinel should now give figures, showing how much greater the relative increase was during the five years of Grit govern- ment.

‘ihe movement by the railroads to stop, as far as possible, the running of Sun- day freight trains, which gives some signs of becoming general, is one to be heartily commended, and will be to the physical as

well as the moral advantage of the employes. The experience of some of the most important trunk lines also

shows that it is not unprofitable to the em- ployers. The strain of 365 days’ labor in the year cannot be imposed without disad- vantage to the man and tbe service he per- forms; and while the supposed necessities of modern civilization call for an increasing amount of Sunday work, it is pleasing to note that the largest employers of labor on the continent are seeking to minimize it.

— Commenting on the display of anti- British feeling in the Legislature of New York a few days ago, when the Hon. Oliver Mowat wasrefused a seat on the floor of the House on the ground that ‘ no courtesy should be extended to any British subject,” the St. John Telegraph says: ‘* Very probably had the entire Can- adian parliament responded to Mr. Wiman’s polite invitation and made the grand tour of the republic they would have been treat- ed precisely as Mr. Mowat has been. Hence it was more than desirable that the irvita- tion should be declined. There is a small clique in Canada who rejoice in these in- suits to Canadian public men, and they de- sire the annexation of this country to the republic in order that the loyal element in Canada may thereafter be insulted with impunity.”

—St. John Sun: The great rush into the Oklahoma district proves that the supply of free grant lands in the United States is becoming exhausted. If settlers could get homesteads elsewhere they would not veed to pour into this territory at the rate of half a dozen claimants for each farm in the region open for settlement. The lesson of Oklahoma is full of encouragement for Canada. There is no need for this country to worry about the settlement of the public domain in the west. If this land were much less rich than it is it would be sure of occupation within the next twenty or thirty years. Canadians will not multiply fast enough to possess the land, and European immigration is not sufficiently abundant. The lands of the Northwest will be peopled by the land hungry millions of the United States, who are now clamor- ing for the release of the small part of the United States territory held as Indian reserves.

“A Page From Canadian History.”

Mr. R. R. Frrzerracp, Q. C., lectured on the above subject in the Lyceum last evening. Mr. D. O'M. Reddin, jr., Presi- dent of the Benevolent Irish Society, under whose auspices the lecture was delivered, occupied the chair. There was a very good attendance considering the exceedingly wet and disagreeable weather. The lecture, which occupied about an hour and a half in its delivery, was well written, and was listened to with great attention throughout. It dealt mainly with the early history of Canada, and with the life and labors of the noble band of Jesuit missionaries sent to introduce Christianity among the Indians around the ‘big lakes.” The lecturer described in feeling terms the daily toils and privations to which these holy men were subjected, and the heroism with which many of them met death in its most cruel form at the hands of the Lroquios. At the close, remarks were made by Mr. A. B. Warburton, Councillor Byrne and Mr. A. McNeill, and a hearty vote of thanks was accorded the lecturer, to which he replied in suitable terms,

His Trwe was VatuaBte.—A Moncton doctor was accosted a few days ago bya citizen who informed him that his daughter had two teeth he wished to have extracted. As the M. D. did not have any instru- ments with him he was requested to take them the next time he went on his round, which he did. Going into the house he requested the citizen to stand by his horse while he was extracting the teeth. When he had completed the operation, and gone out, he was asked what his charge would be and replied 50 cents, which is half the re- gular charge. The citizen, whom it is pre- sumed had never had very much dental work done, turned pale, but quickly re- covering himself, put in a vounter claim of 25 cents for holding the horse. His time was valuable, he said, and he thought he was worth half as much as the doc- tor. It is needless to say that the doctor took the 25 cents and considered himself fortunate that he had not been brought out in debt.—Times.
