luspection.

Sik,—In your issue of the 14th inst., there are two letters in reference to faults found with the work done by the Inspector of Schools for the eastern part of the Is-

jland. The one signed ‘‘Ploughboy” con- } tains an uncalled for and unwarrantable re- ficction upon the talented and capable

teacher of Montague West. - I do not know the school district in which the trouble with the Inspector appears to have taken place, but I do know—and many will sup- port my assertion—that the teacher at Moutague West knew his work and per- formed it faithfully and well, before Mr. nit was capable of inspe cting it.

he other letter on the same subject is danas “J. Roach, teacher, Souris West,’ und it certainly isa most remarkable pro- duction for one supposed to teach English correctly.

Betore criticising the composition of “Secretary No 2” in such a presumptious |§ and uncharitable tone, Mr. Roach should learn how to write a paragraph that men of | ordinary intelligence can understand. I quote from his letter and would like very much to have him explain his meaning as, it is not clear to me-—or to anyone else,

‘* There is a system of classification laid | down in the register. This, all teachers are expecter l to foll no and enforce, which our much respected friend has labored from the time of his appointment,”

The italics are.mine. Can anyone tell what he means? He may have intended a fulsome laudation of his superior ofticer, bat he only succeeded in making himself ridi- culous. Again quoting from the Jast para- graph: ‘*But lon the other hand, the careless, shallow and inattentive receive the reproof they justly deserve, and for which, through the columns of the press he dare slander him who has courage enough to do his duty.” Italics are mine again. What is the antecedent of he and him? What kind of a phrase is and for which? The Souris scribe has apparently forgotten what little grammar he knew when he passed his eXamination, and mixes his pronouns indiscriminately, besides making a general bungle of the construction of his sentences. Will he kindly bring to bear the power of his mighty brain and explain—if he can— the meaning of the above quotations pro- duced by him. It might, perhaps, be ad- visable for him to take a term in the school at Montague West, where English is cor- rectly taught and written,

Experimental Farms.

PROF. SAUNDERS GIVES HIS VIEWS ON THE RESOURCES OF BRITISH COLUMBIA AND THE NORTHWEST.

Prof. Saunders, chief director of inst Dominion Experimental farms, is engaged at present preparing a report of his recent transcontinental trip, undertaken for the purpose of obtaining information for the Government regarding desirable locations for the proposed farming sections. Speak- ing of his impressions of British Columbia, he says the prospects are that stock raising, fruit growing and darying will be there in- dulged in on an extensive scale. The const climate will not prove favorable to wheat culture, owing to the excessive rainfall, but roots and fruits of all descriptions will thrive exceedingly well. East of the Cascades there is a fine stretch of country probably unsur- ig Peer for ranching purposes. Work in the province next year on the proposed farm will include experiments with per- manent grasses suited for stock raising as well as in dairying, cereals and rvots. Professor Saunders believes that more varied and extensive experiments wil] be carried on in the Northwest than in any other portion of the Dominion, It is pro- posed to go into tree culture with the view of determining what trees are best adapted to the climate of the Northwest. The ex- perimental station for the Maritime provinces will probably be located at some point in Nova Scotia in the isthmus adjoining New Brunswick. This will make the station equally adjacent to farmers of the three provinces. When the work is inaugurated, farmers from British Columbia to Nova Scotia will be able to send their grain tothe central farm at Ottawa and have its germinative powers tested free of cost. Bulletins noting the result of experiments will be published from time to time forthe benefit of the farming elemeut of the Dominion.

Prohibition.

The Toronto Mail says:—A few weeks ago we called the attention of our prohibi- tion friends te the existence in the Semin- ary at Quebec of a manuscript written by a missionary about the year 1702, in whicha wrohibitory law was advocated alike for the Indians and white men of New France. We now learn fromthe work of a recent French explorer in Mexico that prohibi- tion, or something very like it, was in force

amongst certain of the Aztec priests. Th } BUS priests of Tezacatzoncati had to par- | take in a daily sacrifice of Agava wine to} that god, but in order to seta good ex- ample to the common folk, they made a slight change in the ceremony. Instead of each drinking the wine, they placed 303 reeds inthe immense jar containing it, | vhich stood on the altar. One alone of|

these reeds was hollow, so that only the | priest to whom tlie hollow reed fell by lot | could touch the liquor.

Horse Habits. SOMETHING ABOUT EQUINE WAYS AND PBCT LIARITIEBS HORSES DISPOSED TO BE GENTLE OR SAVAGE ACCORDING TO TREATMENT.

A gentleman who has made a study of horses and their characteristies for years, and who is the owner of a number of fine animals, was shown by a New York Mail and Exvress reporter, an item that has been going the rounds of the press about a horse becoming insane,

“Il do not believe there is any such thing as insanity among horses,” he said. “‘A horse may become wild and unmanageable from pain, such as the toothache or because of cruel and bruta! treatment or fright, but it is only a temporary affection. But | will not deny that many horses are natural fools. Ihave in fact seen many such on which there was no dependence, and a cha- racteristic of which is the taking up of a ‘mouthful of hay and tossing it about,

‘making frequently no headway in eating.

Such horses show no affect ic n, end a stranger can drive them as readily as one who has handJled them for years, which js ‘hot the case with an intelligent horse. One ‘thing r that makes a horse nervous are taese fancy curb bits, which hurt a horse consid: ,erab!y, : ud I attribute a great deal of this i so-called viciousness 10 these contrivances. No, sir; Ido not even believe in natural Viciousness in a horse. To jJ]-treat- ment this is all due. Take a

lhigh-strung, nervous horse and it does

not require much ill-treatment to

‘make him vicious. I have seen horses and

owned them which would be perfectly gentle in harness and in the stable, but the moment they would see me pick up a_ stick or whip would at onee seem to change their dispositions and try to jump upon me and otherwise do me harm. Out West last summer I came across a black horse which had killed three men, and which worked six mates to death. He was worked twelve years day and night on a stage coach. He would trample both men and his mates to death if they came too near him. But he was ill-treated, brutally treated, all the time. Why, every time they put a harness on him they would keep him goaded with 4 pitchfork, so that he trembled with fear all the time. It was quite a sight to see him harnessed, After the harness was snapped about him a heavy rope was tied about his neck and then he would be clubbed over the head and backed out of the stal). Then the rope would be thrown over a beam and the men would take the bridle and club him with it on the head so as to stun him before they could get iton. He wasa large powerful animal, and fine looking. Yet to-day that horse is as gentle as a kitten. Why so? Because he passed into

‘other hands from which he received kind ‘treatment ; that is all he needed.

**T have a light sorrel horse named

!'Reowdy, which I have owned about two

years. He was very high strung and « notorious runaway when I got him. The man who sold him to me confessed that no impression could be made on the horse's mouth. | began with gentle treatment and letting him know that I was his master and drove him with a straight bit. At the start he kicked straight ovt of the traces. he is subdued and gentle, and the moment I speak to him he obeys and will come every where to meet me at the sound of my voice. He has a trait that causes much amusement. We allowed him to run in pasture with «a mate. Rowdy was always a great fence jumper, but his mate was not on the start. When to- gether, Rowdy would leap a fence and then seeing his mate decline to follow, would at first coax by jumping it over several times back and forth, and ai last, seeing this would not succeed, would begin biting the other one and pushing it with his nose until he compelled it to jump.

While west I noticed that frequently horses are guided the same as oxen, with- out reins, and that it is very easy to teach them to obey in this way. It is hike every- thing else about a horse—let him have con- dence in his master andhe willdo any- thing. I saw an odd instance of a balky horse out there. It was in Michigan and he was attached to alight buggy. The horse was very large, and would weigh 1,700 to 1,800 pounds. They were on a level, and after going about eighty rods the horse stopped short and would not budge. He was beaten, knocked and whipped, but without avail. Thena yoke of cattle was brought up and fastened, to which was a chait. which was fastened about the horse’s neck. That horse was dragged half a mile by the cattle, and then was as stubborn as at first. He was finally left alone, and after standing seven hours started up all right of his own accord. The trouble is that when a horse gets balky people lose their temper, and this only makes matters worse. The only sure remedy for a balky horse is to blindfold him by bandaging his eyes. I never knew this to fail, as it seems to take away the animal’s attention from the subject over which he is stubborn

ee ooo Farming in the United States,

An American gentleman (Mr. T. G. Sher-

man), who has given a eal of atten tion to agricultural statistics, states that persons engage n agriculture in the

United States receive an average income of only $300 » year, and this average includes the incomes of all the owners of a What, then, asks a writer inthe N. Y. Christian Union, must be the miseries of the laborers and the tenants? So after all

ithe United States is not quite such a para- | dise for farmers and farm laborers as many

ipeople believe it to be. Farm life, even

ithere, is not very lucrative.
