Some- how, nature has provided that all healthy animals should be fat in the fall, as 4 con~ dition for passing the rigors of winter com: fortabiy or even safely, and coming out healthy, sound and vigorous in the spring. there is no compromise in Nature’s laws, and if they are violated or dvviated from the penalty must be paid ‘ without declara- , tion or discount.’’ ‘The breeder who would | thrive by his occupation must conform his pract'ce to these simple laws. It is not | pretended, of course, thatalean animal, which is so, not because it is really uns healthy, may not be fattened or brought into good condition during the winter months, but that it costs too much to do it ' that it is bad economy, and that the necess- ity for it ought to be avoided, and will be avoided by every good farmer i in all cases, There is no better evidence possible that a farmer is running down hill and will sooner or later reach the bottom, than to see his stock, whether horses cattle, sheep, hogs or chickens, poor and werk. Tur Faruer To- Day. —This is what is said of him (it sounds like Joseph Harris) | in the Ayriculturist: ‘Altogether, the farmer has his hands full. He needs an | active brain in an vs bedy. If he has good health the work should not discour- age him. He will pull through. He should not get excited; he should not worry. He should keep cool ; and the best way to do this, in more senses than one, is te keep steadily at work. Work will clear the mind and cool the body. But it should be ener- getic, spirited work, not slow prodding drudgery. Every stroke should he direct~ | ed by the mind and be given wi ith a will. It is such work that tells. Few of us re- alize how much the character of farm work i has changed.

An English newspaper called the duters national Gazelie has been started in Berlin. As Paris, has three papers printed in the English lang the German capital may sage ' well have one.

N re 15,000,000 pounds of rice from the surplus stores collected by the British au : in India, for the relief of the suf- ferers by the famine, were recontly sold at Bombay at a loss to the Government at over fifty per cent.

This will bring the CANADA \ | festival of Easter this yearon the 28th of March, which is within six days of the ear- liest period upon which it can ever i bly occur. On some years Easter falls as late as the 25th of April. Some years there are as many as nine Sundays between Epiphany snd Ash Wednesday, but this year there will be only five Sundays inter: vening between the jubilee of Epiphany solemn feast of Lent. Efforts are being made by the Maine State legislatuce to re-introduce salmon into the riyers in Maine. The work was begun in 1871. The reports from the young salmon turned into the streams in 1873 are encour- aging. One river visited is reported to have Leen alive with them. They were then about six inches long. At the mouths | of all the brooks they were seen in swarms. As regards the breeding establishments we are told that at one of them on the Penob- t, established in 1861 there were at first collected only 72 300 salmon eggs at a cost £2.00 per thousand. There is reason to beleve that satisfactory accounts will be ud from these young fry in 1875, A company with Sir Hugh Allan at its heed is spoken of in Montreal to build a new bridge over the St. Lawrence via St. Helen's Island. The plen most favourably receiv~ ed is to build an immense abutment or tower on the Montreal side of the river, di- rectly opposite Isle Ronde, where the chan- nel is narrowest, of suflicient height so that a suspension bridge hung between it and a similar tower on the Isle will clear the masts of the shipping. From the summit of St. Helen's Island it ean easily be continued to the south shore, the river being exceed~ ingly shallow all the 4vay across. Car, waggons. and passengers will be lifted up toand let down from the city end of the t bridge by means of powerful hydraulic machinery. The bridge is to be large enough to afford accomodation for the traffic of the new railways centering in Mon- treal, and likewise having carriags and foot way liaLivax.—Few people have any adequate conception of the strength of the defences of Halifax. aes ides the Citadei and George's Is] ne, mounting batteries of great power there are two for ts along the Eastern Shore, pr eted by eighteen ton guns. The for. tification erected on Maenab s Island is even trong er and mounts much heavier guns than those even on the Citadel. Then there are several smaller, but powerful and commanding forts, along the Point Pleasant Shore, and down as far as York Redoubt. The heaviest guns as yet mounted are of eighteen tons, but it is intended to supple- ment them with 26 tenners, protected with iron shields in Portsmouth Harbour There are in existence also the elements of an eff ctive » te pe xo service, so that Halifax is practically impregnable against the coms bined fleets of the tw ) strongest naval pows ers in the world, unless s caught napping and taken by surprise. - .
