SPRING MEDICINES SA ME DA a; we Agricultural Convention. | — ‘Winter Meeting of the Western | News Notes. en | nn" o | Turkey refuses to accept the 'ricultural Convention was held in the hall trade. at Micdletun, president, occupied the chair. farmers present, we noticed Hon. Alex son, Alex. Smallwood, H. Trueman, J Carruthers, T. Lefurgey, R. H. McDonald, Colin T. Wright, W. G. Schurman, D. Rogers, C. Craig, Major Craig, Stepheu Black, Alpheus Wright, Albert Craig, Wal- ter Simpson, Russel Lockerby, and Wil- liam Rogers. After the transaction of routine business, the Hon. Alex. Laird being ca!led upon, came forward with a paper on ‘*The Culti- vation of Wheat,” in which he gave his ex- perience in the cultivation of that cereal. He advocated early sowing on land on which roots had grown the previous year; gave his experience with different kinds of manure; strongly advocated procuring the best of seed and changing it every two years; thought if farmers did so they would have little trouble from smut; gave as his opinion that rust was caused by heat and moisture in calm weather. Mr. Laird re- ceived a hearty vote of thanks for his paper. A very lively discussion followed the reading of this paper, the following gentlemen taking part—W. McN. Simpson, »>H. A. Stewart, Arthur Simpson, Stewart Burns, Colin T. Wright, H. Trueman, J. Carruthers, Stephen Black, D. Rogers, ind Waiter Simpson. The speakers, in ihe main, agreed with the paper read, and in the discussion brought out some import- ant facts with regard to the wheat crop of last year. D. Rogers, Esq., the only mil- ler present, discussed the milling qualities of last §year’s crop, and argued that it did not make nearly so good flour as the crop of the previous year. The rust ques- tion, and also the different insect enemies of wheat were pretty fully discussed, but on this last point not much valuable infor- ination was elicited. R. H. McDonald, Esq., then came for- ward with his paper on ** Production and Distribution.” We shall give a synopsis of this excellent paper, as it will likely be published. Suflice it was well received, and called forth a hearty vote of thanks from the convention. A lively discussion followed, participated in by the following gentlemen: Thos. Lefur- gey, M. MeN. Simpson, Hon. A. Laird, Arthur Simpson. A committee was then appointed to pre- pare a programme for the evening meeting. Che President invited the farmers present to join the Convention, to which invitation quite a number responded. On motion of Walter Simpson, seconded by -, the Conventioa resolved to invite C. ©. Gardiner, Esq , of Char- lottetown, to read a paper at the January meeting next year. The Convention then adjourned Convention assembled again at 7 o'clock in the evening, when the commodious Hall was packed to its utmost capacity. Miss Lydia Auld presided at the organ, and the Messrs, Lewis discoursed sweet soul-stirring music from the violin, banjo and accordeon. [ failed to procure a programme, and there- fore cannot give the titles of the excellent recitations and songs which were so admir- ably rendered. I also failed to get the names of the actors in that part of the entertainment. The following gentlemen delivered short addresses: W. McN. Simpson, Thos. Le- furgey, A. Laird and Arthur Simpson. Walter Simpson read a short paper, en- titled ‘* Life on the Farm.” A vote of thanks was tendered to the Hall Company for the free use of the Hall, people of Middleton for the kind and hearty manner in which they received and enter- tained the members of the Convention, So closed one of the most interesting and profitable agricultural meetings it has ever been our lot to attend. FARMER. —_ a More Poisoning. A Topeka, Kan., despatch says; Dr. T. S. Olney, coroner of Elk County, Mrs. George Buckingham, her father, G. N. Walter, and one Dixon has been arrested at Howard, Elk County, Dixon, ona charge of murder, the others as accessories, Last Saturday Dixon showed symptoms of | poisoning. Fearing he was going to die | he confessed that he } Buckingham last June by administering a | : ° : : jbeing paid to Oiney for the prescription. {Dixon was premised $1,000 for committing ithe deed, and in trying to collect it was |invited by Olney to take a drink, in which | poison was administered. Strong autidotes ‘saved his life, and his confession caused the arrest of the parties above named. Dixon ihad often visited Buckingham’s house, and ‘alleged intimacy existed between him and {Mrs. Buckingham. The latter had sued for divorce, urged by Dixon. Buckingham died in June, and although foul play was suspected at the time, the affair blew.over, cE © Ai <TR Personal.

Leagues have been formed in Rio Janeiro and at Bahia, Para, Santos, and Pernam- buco, Brazil, to boycott British in favor of American goods, One of the largest railway yards on the continent will soun be laid out on the out- skirts of Montreal. It will be the Canadian Pacific general shunting ground, and will be located between Mile End and Outre- jmont. The direct Ottawa line and the | Toronto and South-eastern roads formed a ‘junction at Mile End, and were afterwards junited by a cross road farther west, thus enclosing a V-shaped track. In the south- western angle of this enclosure the Canadian | Pacific own about sixty acres of land, a por- | tion of which they acquired some time ago, and thirty-five acres of which they have just purchased from the brothers of the ‘deaf and dumb institute, paying for the same $500 per acre. This will be fully tracked, and if not large enough more land will be secured, so that the yard will con- tain sixty miles of sidings. The uvmerous lines centre upon the point where the new yard will be situated, and trains can be re- ceived here from all directions, rearranged and sent on totheir destination without coming into the city. A large shunting yard like this will employ eight hundred men, and as most of these men will have families, the railway population alone will make a town of about five thousand inhabi- tants. In addition to the railway men it is expected that many will be employed in the stock yards, meat packiog establishments and factories which will be started in the vicinity, sothat there will soon be a large city behind the mountain. i i ii Advice For Young Writers. The trouble with some of our young authors is that when once started. they are over-anxious and over-ambitious to acquire more than is for their good. If their re- | putation is local, they wish to make it na- tional; if national, they Jong for interna- tional fame. All this is pardonable in any young writer, provided honorable methods are pursued, and haste is not made too |quickly. Literary success is like wealth, harder to keep than to make it. Because the critics pronounce some early work by you as indicative of reserved strength don’t ‘spoil everything and misconstrue their re- /mark by writing your next piece the same | day and rushing it into print. The critic ‘has used his words in encouragement of you and whetting the public appetite. Let the public wait a little while for your next; it will do no harm, and may do you good. Breathing spells between books are gen erally very beneficial. When once you get to be arising author, don’t get the idea that your further success is dependent {upon the haste you make. Generally, the contrary is the case. Scores of young ‘writers have spoiled their chances in pre- cisely the same way. Remember the crude but wise philosophy of Josh Billings: ‘* If {you want to get there quick, gu slow.” | Never get the foolish notion that the public jis just pining for something else from your pen. Itis not. It has never yet sat up ae for any author’s work, and never will. Once you get the ear of the reading public, then the greatest caution is neces- sary. And the best beginning is by not writing too much, and the wisest ending is by printing only the very best And be- tween these two, seal a moral obligation to the publisher or editor who gave you your ; first start. —Epwarp W. Bok, in March Ladves’ Home Journal. j oqummenmen oe & Man’s Idea of Home Comfort. ' A man wants some one place in home that he can call his very own, some portion ‘of the house where his will is law, where no conflict of authority can arise. This is not altogether for the purpose of securing solitude, tor his family is usually most wel- come there, but the need for it springs from the desire for that sense of proprietorship iwhich is his abroad, and from the wish to be able to do precisely as he pleases in at least a corner of his own house. Here should be the comforts that the man de- ‘vises for himself, the lounging chars, the desk and library, his smoking materials with license to use them. Here he should be able to feel absolutely at his ease, troubled by no fear of ** mussing things, no need to thread his way anxiously through a maze of furniture and various decorative obstructions, trembling lest something should be and broken, and there should be the seat of that admired disorder to which he only has the clue. His books and papers should be left as he leaves them, though to the |orderly female eye they may seem to be in hopeless confusion. His desk may be ‘littered with piles of books, magazines, letters, manuscripts, everything that possibly find a place there, but if a woman wishes to secure toa man cne of his most cherished home comforts, she will let that one alone — Ladies’ Home Jvurnal. habit overtarned Can AL LID For Ricketts, Marasmus, and ail Wasting disorders of Children Scott’s Emu!sion of Pare Cod with Hyphosphites, is unequ uled. idity with which children strength upon itis very wonderful. used Scott’s Emulsion in cases of Rickets and Marasmus of long standing.” Inevery case the improvement was marked.—QJ.
