Our Stock Farm.
THE Moncton 7'imes is publishing a series | of articles on the Steck Farm of this Pro-| vince, Here is a clipping from one of them :
The colony was very fortunate in the matter of the appointment of Mr. Bell as far overseer. Mr. Bell is, or was, an English agriculturist and herdsman, one of the practical sort. There is not a bit of kid-gloved gentility about him; there is no noise; there is no nonsense. One might live ten years in Charlottetown or else- where in P. E. Island and not hear or read a word about him; save incidentally. He runs the stock farm—the government farm —the tax-payers’ farm—like clock-work. Nobody seems to grumble, nobody to say, | well done, Bell! proof that all are reason- ably well satistied. This tried trusted over- seer has, during his long incumbency, been sent to England, to Ontario, to the Western (United) States to select and buy breeding steck on government account; he has exe- cuted the several commissious and brought his purchases home. The stock of his selection seemed ALWAYS TO GIVE SATISFACTION,
whereas those selected and bought on same account for like purpose by other people have not always turned out well. In a word, for Mr. Bell scandal seems to have no tonffue—fame no trumpet. The writer visited the farm a few falls ago in company with a friend. Arrived, a model farm gate told us where we were. Some fine sheep took our attention; next a field of turnips. A turnip-harvester was at work. The lad held in his right hand a heavy knife—one designed and made for the purpose, I dare say—and having never seen turnips gath- ered in quautity, I watched atientively, as with consummate skill and dexterity he executed the task. Standing between two rows and raising the knife, he, with the other hand, grasped aturnip by the top and pulled. If it clung to earth one deci- sive stroke made it yield. Next moment the upturned turnip is held above and between the next two rows when one clip trims its heels and another scalps it. It drops, of course. Then the top is dropped from the hand and its next neighbor is seized and served the same. The expedi- tious, skilful, machine-like operation pleased us greatly. Seven hundred bushels of turnips to the acre is pot an uncommon yield in Prince Edward Island. It is the average yield on this farm. A five-acre field near Charlottetown has yielded 3,500 bushels, and it is no part of the Govern- ment farm. About eight acres was in the field in which
THE LAD WAS AT WORK,
so we were told. Computed at seventeen cents a bushel, marketed, we beheld $252 worth, if up to the average. We took leave of the lad and went to the fence to have a good look at a black-faced, black- legged, blue-blooded ram that was on the other side of it, and were gratified. We classed him A 1 and called him a fine fellow. He turned away locking sheepish. Perhaps, however, it was with the view of the better exhibiting his breadth, squareness and symmetry. We left and soon came up to two of the swine families. We halted in dumb, vocal admiration. Our complements were not for their ears, but they heard them. -They said nothing and they stuck to it—too well bred to do otherwise, but they looked black, I assure you—they were Berkshires. They looked at us? Not they. Their aristocratic néses were turned up in mute, high-born arrogance and cun- tempt, or as if to snuff our rank, titles, or lineage, and they all the while pretending to be looking for the Colorado, I read an expression; it was in large print. It said ; ‘*Expect us to look at you, do you? Who are you? And who were your g. g. g. grandfathers? Tell us if you know. As for ourselves our lineage is traceable through gs innumerable to that grand old forest boar at whom the arrow was shot that pierced the heart of Rufus, and who supped the blood of the Kink; any Royal blood in you, eh?” We marvelled at dis- covering so much of human nature of the hog. What then? We left of course; who would stop after that ?

RECENT OCCURRENCES IN THE COLONIES,
A paragraph recently appeared in the Launceston Hraminer stating that since the recent earth tremors and subterranean rublings the height of the tide at Flinders Island, and the general contour of the bed of Banks’ Straits was altered. Mr. Wilson, the Engineer of Ports and Harbors, has re- ported on the subject, and he has recom- mended that as Flinders Island is under the jurisdiction of the Tasmanian Govern- ment, the colony should be asked to take steps to rectify the charts relating to Flin- ders Island, Banks’ Straits and the Eddy- stone rocks, This suggestion has been acted upon. Mr. Service has written a letter to the Tasmanian premier on the subject.
The annual return of the agent of immi- gration at Sydney shows that in the year 1883 there were 21 immigrant ships arrived at Port Jackson. The average length of passage was 90 days. The total number of persons landed there was 8,369.
The steamship Derunda left Brisbane, Queensland, on the 20th ult., taking the first shipment of frozen meat from that col- ony to England, consisting of 3,504 car- cases of mutton and 100 quarters of beef.

The Newfoundland Fisheries.
The steamer Plover arrived at St. John’s (N fic) from the Northward on Monday evening last. She (states the Telegram) brings anything but reassuring intelligence respecting fishery prospects in that direc- tion. Green Bay was still suffering severely from the ice-blockade, and large numbers of vessels bound ‘to Labrador from South ern ports were at Siag Harbor, Cat Harbor and other places, waiting for a favorable time to proceed North. The Plover steam- ed through an imiaense guamtity ef ice, and found a “‘heavy jam” all along the coast from -Leading Tickles to Tilt Cove. At Fogo there was a good sign of fish, but nothing could be done with traps o> seines owing to the ice: Further south caplin had made its appearance and prospects looted a little brighter.”

Reading and Thinkitg.
‘Itis not the amount of reading that does one good, but the amount of informa- tion or the incitement te thought and im- agination that is de:ived from it. The pro- fessor was quite right when, his pupils boasting that he read ten hours a day, he said, *‘when do yon think ’?” Bacon said that some books were to be tasted, some to be swallowed and some few to be digested. There is on reason against the tasting or the swallowing, but to be tasting or swal- lowing everything and digesting nothing leaves the mind in the same state that the body would be under the same circumstan- ces. If we consider the amount of independence it creates, the en- tertainments it affords, the ease with which it may be obtained and the time when it may be pursued, there is no occu- pation can be compared with reading. It is a faculty of the highest value to man- kind, and should be cherished accordingly ; for, no matter in what mood a man may be, he can always find a book that will bea friend and a companion. In justice to thoss who, by their great industry and talents, have produced works of great value, we ought to cultivate something like a dis- ciplive in our reading, to enable us to dis- criminate between the valuable and the worthless, and to give to those who have been the world’s greatest teachers the greatest share of honor.”

Serious Results of a Practical Joke.
A very sad case of practical joking has occurred in Philadeiphia. Joseph Lan- dess, asailor on buard the Italian barque Martini, in that port, was arrested for some slight act of insubordination on Thursday. The prisoner was taken to Point Breeze, where the Martini is lying, but as the cap- tain was not on board the chief mate refus- ed to take him back to Messins in chains. He was brought back to the police head- quarters and lecked up. He spoke no English, thongh he understood some words. That night he was visited in his cell, the turnkey alleged, by a clerk at the Italian consulate. ‘You are to be hanged,’ szid the clerk jokingly,significantly closing his hands about his throat and protrading his tongue. The Italian was overwhelmed with terror. ‘You canna meana that,’ he gasped. Then he fell in a fit, and has been delirious ever since. He crouches in the corner of his cell and presents & pitiable object of terror. He sits and mutters by the hour. ‘*Whata for they taka me life? Several specialists in mental diseases visited the poor fellow, and all pronounced him hopelessly deranged. All efforts to disabuse his mind have failed. Several Italians spoke to him in his native tongue, but he heard them not, and only wailed piteously, ‘Whata for they take me life ?

English Items about Canada.
eee oe
(From the Canadian Gazette, June 26.)
The Society for the Propagation of the Gospel have, it appears, expended an ag- gregate of £1,627,601 in Church work in British North America.
It is said that a well-known Provincial stock-broker has made as much as £150,000 by ‘“‘bearing” Grand Trunk stocks, and an equally well-known speculator in London must have madea very large sum. The former is said to be retiring altogether from business, and the latter would, perhaps, be wise todo so. What these gentlemen and others have made, another set have, of course, lost. Their respective fortune and misfortune are alike in this respect—that they excite no feeling from onlookers, neither congratulation nor sympathy,
An interesting discussion which has been going on in the Dominion has arisen from some statements which have been put for- ward in regard to the value to the country of a good settler—a question obviously of some importance to the country where the immigrants for the last year or two have numbered 100,000 annually. Many of the best statistical autorities estimate the value of an able-bcdied immigrant, male or female, at £200. In the United States
the value some years ago was put down at $830, but im accordance with more recent investigations, the
figures have been increased to $2,000, Dr. Farr placed the value at $1,200 while Mr. Hayter, Government statistician of Vic- toria, satisfied himself that in the Aus- tralian colonies each immigrant is worth some £250 to £260. In regard to Canada, perhaps the fairest method is to take the standard value enforced in the United States, and a very simple arithmetical pro- cess will then convince anyone of the direct benetit which has been conferred on the
The demand, first voiced we believe by Genevieve Ward, the actress, for special ae. in sleeping cars, is be- coming stre . The state-room car would no doubt soon create custom for it- self on Canadian through roads.
