Notes and Queries—Practical.
Mr. John McLeod, of Orwell, sowed in one piece of ground on his farm on the 8th of May last, two and a half bushels of
wheat; yield, forty-two and a half bushels— |
measure, seventeen to one. Had lime been applied he would, he thinks, have had twenty to one. The wheat is of a bearded variety. The seed was imported
from Ontario; fyfe he was told it was. No|
\trace of weavil about the crop. The beard Mr. McLeod believes to be a thorough pro- | tector from the fly.
| P. E. Island horse exhibit at St. John did wonderfully well at prize-winning. | Her cattle exhibit was not so successful. ‘Little wonder. It were thus with the | horse exhibit, were eight-tenths of the best |P. E. Island horses killed off in infancy as is the case in respect to her cattle. So long as here Durham and Ayrshire calves are deemed worth more to the butcher than to the stock raiser, so long will their throats be cut, and scallawags be reared instead. In Charlottetown and its adjacent Royalty every spring dozens of pure brei, and scores, or perhaps hundreds, of half and three quarter bred Durhams and Ayrshires, the young of well-bred, well-fed cows, and of stock farm sires, go to the butcher and to theshambles, Why is this thus?
Let a stock-raisers association be organ- ized this winter. Let it stop the heedless, needless, senseless sacrifice. Let it see to it that many such calves be rescued from the butcher’s grip, and made contributory to the wealth and fame of the Island, and of the Dominion. Let all such as are well worth the rearing be secured and scattered. Let them be well placed. Let them be widely distributed. Let it be seen that they get into intelligent, appreciative hands. Thus six years from now a very gratifying change will have occurred in districts wherein now the general run to horned cattle are a reproach to the country —an indication of the stupidity, ignorance or carelessness, one or the other or ali three, of the inhabitants in that regard,— and, as seeing is believing, the stupid, the ignorant and the indifferent be made to perceive.and to realize the folly, the loss and the teproach involved in the keeping and reproduction of worthless scallawag stock.
P. E. Island did well at St. John. Longworth and Boswell are to be conyratu- lated, and the Island likewise—thanks to
them. But let me ask, is the annual prize list for sheep to always appear as from _ stereotype plates /
Can a Longworth and a Boswell alone occupy the first places? Are such the only folks for whom prize-winners will grow’? Let other P. E. Islanders for their own profit and for their own credit sake, and for the general wealth and tame of tie country, let others try if they can secure the foremost places—let others compel, if possible, the Longworths and the Boswells to look to their laurels, and in generous, friendly rivalry, and thereby have P. E. Island sheep stock go on to perfection.
Strange, passing strange, that this fair fertile Isle continues tc import what pickled cucumbers, tomatoes, and beans supply her markets; must send away for hops, for beans (for cooking) for onions, even for ordinary garden herbs, sage, summer. savory, etc., why not rather produce for export?
Why not go into market-gardening next season for some discreet, experimental extent? Why not undertake to regularly supply Halifax and St. John,N.B. markets? Way not regularly and systematically for- ward to Halifax and St. John, day by day, and week by week every year, beets, carrots, parsnips, onions, beans, &c., in air-passage, admitting returnable cases, from when they severally are first fit to market till fall—till winter some of them—and to St. John’s Nfid., as opportunity may occur? A prodigious quantity of stuff may be taken off, and out of two or three acres of a season for green marketing, thinning out sufficiently, and only sufficiently, in the general way, as growth demands room, and without reducing the subsequent matured, ripened product, and if all cau be disposed of green to advantage, then let all go. There are a hundred retailers in Halifax and St. John, who could each sell twenty cases of such a week, and if such can and
concerned, why not have them at it? Let the thing be fairly tested. Pro Bono Pustico.

| _ On Friday last, the Czar and Czarina laid the corner stone of a church upon the spot where the Emperor Alexander I. was ‘killed.
| A report from the Portugese frontier says that 3,000 armed peasants assembled at Valencia Domicro, Province of Vienna, and raised cries forthe Republic. A smal! detachment of troops were sent to disperse them. Severe fighting ensued and several persons were wounded on both sides. The troops were compelled to retreat.
A Paria despatch says that advices from Tanwatave state tha: the French troops there are suffering dreadfully from fever and famine,and that the forces are being rapidly decimated. The Hovas,who have appeared in force in the neighborhood, have so thoroughly picketed the roads leading into the interior as to prevent foraging parties penetrating any great distance from the main body of the French army, thus cut- ting off all chance of obtaining supplies from the surrounding country. Creoles are de- serting from the French army in large num- bers and are joining the Hovas. Admiral Peyran intends, as one of the features of his colonial policy, to establish Catholic mis- sions in Madagascar.
The deep sensation produced among thinking persons in Paris by the late insults tv King Alfonso may be judged by the lan- guage of the Times’ correspondent, who on October Ist wrote thus:—“Perhaps the most painful part of Saturday’s demonstra- Hon is that it proves the Revolution to have an army in readiness just as a hundred years ago. A century of experience and conflict have given neither courage to the respectable classes nor humanity to the mob, The Reign of Terror might be re- sumed to-morrow, and it would find men to applaud the executions, with women to insult the victims. The only thing France has gained since 100 years ago—and this she owes to the war with Germapy—is the abolition of the National Guard. The first resnit of the existence of the National Guard would be the destraction of the Re- public and the inauguration of the Com- mune,
A Constantinople despatch says that Tuesday's earthquake was most severe in Anatolio, being particularly destructive on that portion of the coast which lies directly east of the island of Chios, All the vil- 208 rae ree and Vourla are completely wrecked. At least - soie Tout thei? fives by being bates Ges 7 the falling walls of their dweilings. An immense amount of property las been de- stroyed, the value of which is at present impossible to estimate. Chesmeh was badly damaged, but no lives were lost. At Smyrna the shock was gnite severe, A regular panic prevailed during the continu- ance of the vibrations, but the damage was slight. Ou the island of Chios the shock was also severe, but the duration was short and little damage was done. . From reports received from pointe lying east of Chesmeh and south-east of Smyrna, it appears that an extensive area of country was affected.

At the meeting of the Dublin Guardians of the Poor, a letter from the Archbishop of Toronto was read urging the stoppage of Irish immigrants to Canada. The Arch- bishop says that Canada is now crowded with pauper immigrants,
Last year England consumed, in addition tothe produce marketed by her own farmers, and poultry keepers, including the enor- mous supply from Ireland, no fewer than 6,757 ,234 “‘great hundreds” of foreign eggs, these imported eggs alone amounting to the almost incredible number of 810,868,080, or two and a Quarter million eggs per day.
According to the story of the detectives whu have been sent cut to the Cape to gather information regarding the assassina- tion of Carey, one of the reasons for believ- ing that O’ Donnell! had been told off for the express purpose of doing the deed, is con- nected with the alleged girl who was at first said to be O'Donnell’s niece, was allowed to go freely about on the vessel at Port Eliza- beth, and ultimately succeeded in escaping. From some enquiries made it is said there are reasons for believing that this supposed | girl was a male accomplice of O’Donunell’s, Every effort was to be made to find her or him.
It is not munch more than a year now since the Egyptian capital was entered by the British army as conquerors. The native army was a rabble, ill-disciplined, ill-armed, and without capable officers. Now it pre- sentsa far different aspect; English officers have taken hold of it, and its strength and efficiency are now such to enable it to suc- cessfully cope with either anarchy or revolt.

the usurer is uncessing and unrelenting in his demands. It is stated that 75,000,000 are due yearly to foreign lenders. No country can endure such a drain for any jlong time. The elective system now ob- ‘tains for the Epypteain Chamber, and it is hoped that the gradual placing of responsi- bility and power in the hands of the people _will arouse them to more patriotic and ac- tive interest in public affairs.
