WELLNER, JOHN NEWSON, May 10, 1° i —4i 2aw | Ch’town, March 6, o . — es eas a Science of Agriculture. Sir,— Your correspondents have frequent- ly complained that too much time was de- voted to the study of Latin and Greek in the Normal School, while the study of the Sciences was neglected. The curriculum in this Institution is nearly the same as it was in the Prince of Wales Cullege in the It is difficult to overestimate the influence of a good bull in a neighborhood >of smail farmers, Cases in point are numerous, and may be almost indefinitely. multiplied. There is a case which is almost daily bronght to the writers attention. Some ten years ago a Goernsey bull was brought mto the neighborhood. Few farmers there had cows enough to make it worth while to keep a bull. This one was of good size, of a yellow color with some white, and within year 1875. It is old-fashicned, and smvlls of Aberdeen one hundred years ago. To prove this, I will quote from the Normal ‘School curriculum published in your paper ‘last week ;—Monday, Anderson, from 9 to 10 o’clock Latin, and from 1 to 2 Greek; ‘Cavern, 9 to 10 Latin; LePage, 8 to 9 Greek, from 9 to 10 Latin. Tuesday. Ander- son, 9 to 10 Latin, 1 to 2 Greek; Caven, 9 |}to 10 Latin; L-Page, 8 to 9 Greek, 9 to 10 |Latin. Wednesday, Anderson, 9 to 10 Latin, 1 to 2 Greek; Caven, 9 to 10 Latin; | LePage, 8 to 9 Greek, 9 to 10 Latin. Thursday, Anderson, 9 to 10 Latin, I to 2 Greek; Caven, 9 to 10 Latin; L-Page, 8 to |9 Greek. 9 to 10 Latin. Friday, Anderson, '9 to 10 Latin, 1 to 2 Greek; Caven, 9 to 10 Latin; LePage, 9 to 10 Latin; Anderson, 8 to 9 Agricul:ural Chemistry. Thus it will be seen that twenty-four hours per week are devoted to the study of Latin and Greek and only one hour to Agri- cultural Chemistry, and when it is known the study of the last mentioned subject was only commenced a few months ago, since the Christuas holidays, some idea of the acqiintance the students have with this science, can be formed. There is another subject, Physiology, that seems to have been dropped from the curriculam, Lodeed, it was upon these two subjects, Agricultural Chemistry and Physiology, that Mr. A. Anderson discoursed in his lest repert with so many high-sonunding words and phrases. What, then, will the public think when they find that Mr. A, Ander- son has deceived them by his Report? What will be their surprise when they find that Agricultural Chemistry was not studied in the Normal School for the first four months of the present academic year,—that it was only taken up a few months ago to prepare for the public exhibition to be held some time this week. Is Agricultural Chemistry of so little importance that it may be thrust aside for four or five months in the year, and only taken up when the public are expected to visit the Normal School? Is Physiology—the science of life —of so little value that students may be required to pass it over without even a passing notice? It seems so. It seems to be useless to ask for eny changes in the curriculum of onr Normal School till we have first obtained a chatige in its teachers. I trust this will soon take place. Yours, &c., Vorer. Serious Hffect of the Failure of the Oriental Bank of London. Widespread destitution and nearly a score of suicides have followed the failare of the Oriental. Bank, of London, which clused its doors on the 3rd inst.. No single failure which has occurred in Great Britain since the suspension of the City Bunk of Glasgow has esused such wholesale ruin and so many cases of absolute destruction. The organization of the Oriental Bank corpora- tion was peculiar in having over 100,000 shareholders, although its entire capital was only £1,500.(.00, so that the individual holdings of the shareholders average less than £15 each, having its head office at No. 40 Threadneedle street, with Sir William John Walter Barnes, Bart, as Chairman of figurehead of the:Conrt of Directors. I) had branches at Bombay, Calcutta, Mad- ras, Point de Galle Simgapore, Colombo, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Yokchama, Man- ritius, Melbourne and Sydney. At all these places it was deemed second only in stability to the Bank of England, and it attracted shoals of small investments from civil service employes, spinsters, widows, doctors, clergymen, and, in fact; from ‘classes in the English colonies at these points. Not bring organized on the limited liability prin ciple, each one of the shareholders in the concern is liable to the extent of his entire worldly possessions for the debts of the bank, no matter how small his indivi dual holding of shares may be. Thousands of writs of attachment have been issned against the unfortuna'e shareholders, both in England and the East, and it is this fact, coupled with the loss in many of their entire means of subsistence, that has driven so many of the unhappy investors to desper- ation and death. ~~ The Value of Wood Lands. This subject was discussed at the recent meeting ot the Reyal Society, a paper respecting it having beeu first read by Dr. Fravklin Hough. From the simple and ab-olute natare of our land titles, the question of forestry in America is relieved from many perplexing questions growing out of joint ownership by the public and indiyiduals which vften occasion much em- barrassmept in Europe. The general and the state government throughout the se tled portions of this country and of Canada have conveyed the lands to private owners who cannot be interfered with in the manage- ment of forest trees any more than they would be in the raising of yrain; though it cannot, of course, Dr, Hough says, be ex- pected that the owners of land will be ip- fluenced by any other metives than their own interest in whatever they may do in the way of planting or cleaning. But, what- ever tends to promote an interest in rural improvement or the adornment of homes and public grounds, is so mueh gained, and the ears in the white spots and where the skin was sparsely haired, as between the thighs and forelegs, the skin was as yellow as orange peel. He got some grand heifers; iu fact, he was largely a heifer-breeder, and they have proved magnificeat cows, and not one thoroughbred Guernsey among them. They are all wedye-shaped, very big behind, with broad quarters and low flwks; their heads are of médium size, with broad muz- zies and with beautiful waxy incurving borhs, not too small for beauty; they carry large wider with well-placed, large teats, aud will make two pounds of butter a day or theresboats, if well fed—at least, such is their reputation, and the butter is as yellow as gold. One can ree gnizs cows of his get at once, and they are sv highly valued by the farmers that they are anxious to secure the presence of anuther Guernsey in the vicinity. The excellence of the cows is probably— undoubtedly—due in a greater degree to the individnal quality of the bull than uwégely to the breed, though this, of course, has) fits influence. Thus the rich color of the butter and the general Guernseyish lock of the cows are breed characteristics. We are gratified to learn that at a recent sale at auction of a lot of Guernsey bull calves of pure blood, but. most of them un- registered, theeprices paid by farmers of the neighborhood showed practically their appriciation of the breed. - If such calves will be bought by farmers of dairy districts at $30 to $40 each, there will baa great change both in the amount and color of the butter within a few years. We acknowledge the receipt vf the cata- logue of imported Guernsey cattie, the property of Mr. S. C. Kent, of West Grove, Penn. These Guernseys are to be sold. at ‘Herkness Bfzaar, Philadelphia, Thursday, May 29th, 1884. This is some- thing of a new veriture, and we hope those who are must interested will profit by it. The Guérnsey is a cow that appeals cirectly to the practical hard- working dairymen, and breeders should - note this and. secure: a namber of- them, to take advantage of that rive in prices which is sure to come when the full merits of this breed become more generally known, Mr. Kent has’ bred them) for years, and has imported-them on the faith that is sp him. | The selections for this sale’ were made by a ve’eran breeder on the other side, and may be considered as good as the Island can furvish. The cows and heifers are all bred, and will make fine, animals for foundation stotk.-—Americun Dairyman, ~—- 2p A Satisfactory Visit. The Bishop of Algoma has returned from England, Toe resalt of the visit has been very satisfactory.io view ofthe fact-that it has been instrumental in raising funds towarcs the endowment of the diocese, the parchase and maintenance of a missionary boat, and the increase of the staff of clergy- men of the diocese. With regard to the endowment it is expecte! that the sum of £5,000 will be seeured in a short time on the compl.tion of certain preliminaries necessary to the perpetaity of the fund by the appointment of trustees and the exeen- tion of the necessary trust deeds. With regard to the missionary brat, the Zenobia, the payment for it bas been completed, and the bishop has received intelligence since his arrival in Montreal that the stending committee of the Society for the Propaga- tion of the Gospel, has voted him £100 per annum towards its maintenance, this grant to come into operation on January Lat, 1885 Three clergymen have been added to the missionary steff of the diverse, one of whom is now on his way to his field of labor in Muskoka. o> e---~-~ Till recently Florence Nightingale hardly has been heard of for some time. She was thirty-four years old when she achieved fame as the organizer of the noble corps of nurses in the Crimea For a long while past she has been an invalid and very weak, but lately she has come out very strong for female suffrage.
