— Professor Donald, of Montreal, states that the coal in the new seam recently epened in the Drummond colliery, Pictou County, is “* the finest specimen of Can- adisn coal I have ever seen, giving 68 per ceut. of fixed carbon.”
Elinburgh Scotsman of De- cember Gti, ia referring to the new Cana- disn Goverpmeut :
“The general impression prevails that the Canadian Government is stronger now than it has been for a long time, and great confid- ence is felt in the new Premier, Sir John Thomp:zon, whe is not only a good tactician, but a bri.liant speaker and debater and en ex. cellent administrator.”
—Mr. Van Horne proposes to get into Ottawa by bridging the Ottawa river west of Gatineau Pot crossing Nepean Point and the Rideau canal and tunnelling under Parliament hill, making a direct line through the city with a central passenger station near the mouth of the Rideau canal in the centre of the city. He asks the City to grant a bonus on the work of $100,000. The proposal has caused a sensation in the capital.
—Twenty years ago we had no Canadian Pacific Railway crossing the continent; no interprovincial trade, where to-day we have $80,000,000 a year; no canals more than nine feet deep, and those only suitable for the smallest vessela; no ocean going steamship lines on the Atlantic, excepting the Allans, where we now have five; no Montreal ship- ping trade equal to the present; no magnifi cent C.

forms the public that the wages paid the agricultural laborer iu Ireland vary from one shilling and sixpence—that is from thirty-six cents to sixty cents a day—in summer, without lodging or board, to twenty four cents in winter, also without lodging cr board. 1t is worth while to recall the fact that Ireland owes the poverty of her agricultural classes chiefly to the Free Trade policy which destroyed the Irish manufacturing industries and com- pelled the people to resort almost wholly to the soil for support.
—The three-page poem by John G. Whittier, which appeared in the November St. Nicholas Magazine, commemorates a
| visit of a party of young girls to the poet’s
home. It contains the following lines, which have a peculiar significance now that the geod old Quaker poet has passed away : **] would not if I could repeat
A life which still is good and sweet ;
I keep in age, as in my prime,
A not uncheerful step with time,
And, grateful for all blessings sent,
I go the commen way content,
To make no new experiment.
On easy terms with law and fate,
For what must ba I calmly wait,
And trust the path I cannot see, —
That God is good sufficeth me.
And when at last upon life’s play
The curtain falls, 1 only pray
That hope may lose itself in truth,
And age in Heaven’s immortal youth,
And all our loves and longings prove
The foretaste of diviner love |”

- |Guiana came into the possession of Great
| Britain in 1803, having previously been 1s the hands of the Dutch. It was settled in 1580 by the Dutch East India company. In 1814 it was formally ced- ed to England. Its area is 76,000 square miles, but of this extent a considerable por- tion is claimed by Venezaela. The dispute has lasted for many years. At one time Brezil, as well as Venezuela, put in preten- sions to a large share of the territory. These pretensions have for some years been in abey- ance. The history of Guiana (French, Dutch and British), is fullof interest and the popa- lation comprises some curious race mixtures. An extraordinary and somewhat troublesome community is that of the Boschnegers, des- cendants of the runaway slaves, who have developed a curious creed, slightly Christian, largely pagan. <= CoMMENDABLE.— All claims not consistent with the high character of Syrup of Figs are purposely avoided by the California Fig Syrup Company.

Dairying as a Speciality for P. E. Island.
AT present there seems to be a great move in the matter of dairying through- out the length and breadth of the Island, This move is largely the result of the uformation that has been disseminated among our people by those whom the Dominion G.vernment have sent to lecture us onthe m-tter. Farmers of this Island ate waking up as they have never done before to a study of their interests, They are beginning tc have some idea of the possibilities that surround them and arr making a strong move to get out cf the old ruts in which they have travelled so long and which have worn so deep a8 almost to bury them.
Co-operative dairying seems to be th great matier that is ergsgiug their atten- vion at present. The Dominion Govern- ment have done wisely in spending a portion of the people’s money in trying to show the farmers what lines of agriculture is their interest to engage in specially. Farmers, as a general thing, are slow to take up with anything new in their tusi- ness. They require an object lesson such as they have had during the last summer at New Perth.
I believe that the establishing of the Ex- perimental Dairy Station at New Perth is the beginning of an era of prosperity for our farmers. People will now see that co-operative dairying can be+ made a auccess if they will only take pains te study the principles that un- derlie the business, and conform. to the conditions which will make it a succegs. In this matter we havea great deal to learn. One of the first things to learn is that from a starved cow, orfrom a cow not suited to the production of milk, we will never suc- ceed in dairying. The starved cow or the hall-fed cow cannot pay, becsuse it is only the surplus she will give us after her own wants are supplied. The cow that is in- clined to be too good to herself and to put on an extra amount of flesh, may add to her personal appearance, but she will not pay on the d-iry. The first thing to do is to tind out the cow that will not give usa fair profit over and above the cost of her feed. And one way to find this out is to feed her liberally : then she will either pay you at the pail or she will get into condition fur the block. If the latter, to the block let her go. But do not condemn any cow ti)] yov 2 ve Ler e cance to do her best. Dairy cat .» rust Le fed better than the ordinary fa uor feeds them, both in summer and winter, before the cheese fac- tory will make the farmer rich. We must be convinced that it is only the well-fed cow that will give a profitable return, Many of us have yet to fiad out the possi- bilities of a good dairy cow. I believe that the average of butter per cow in this Island is under 50 pounds a year. Now, it is pos. sible, with a good cow, well fed, to get 300 Ibs. The cow that makes leas than 159 lbs. is kept at 4 loss, while the one that makes 300 pounds returns a large profit. Prof. Robert- son tells us cf aman who had a herd of cows that were giving him 75 pounds of butter each in the year. This man got some information that was new to him, and as a result he decid- ed to teed the cows better, and the next year his herd averaged him 150 pounds per cow; but not satisfied with this result, he fed still more liberally and the next year his returns were 250 pounds per cow, Now, rememb-r that the cows that gave 250 pounde the last year were the very same cattle that gave 75 pounds each betore he began to feed them liberally. Here is a lesson for us all—not to condemn the cow till we give her a chancy. Always expect «loss when we feed half rations, and expect a good profit when we feed liberal- ly, and we will not be disappointed in either case.
The manufacture of cheese is, 1 think, the special jine we shou'd follow in summer, with butter making in winter. Both should be carried on by the cooperative plan As we are such a distance f-om the Koglish market, I think chees+ is the right thing to ship there in the summer seasua. Butter could not be set down on that market in its best and most saleable torn in the hot weather. The cheese industry of the Dominion is in its infancy only as yet, bus it is assuming vast proportions already, ard I think is destined to exceed eveiy other branch of agriculture in the east- ern provinces of Canada, Why 1 think so and why it should be sol may speak of in another article.
