A Alontreal despatch say.s: "Dur- ing the vast month at Sault Ste. Marie alone the American immigra- tion insi)ectors found 117 cases of trachoma among the people trying to lind their way into the United States, and had to send them back to Canada," says Mr. W. Watchorn, Commissioner-Oeneral of Immigra- tion in Canada. "And the worst feature of so many cases being found was that over HO per cent, of them had been contracted in Canada," the Commissioner went on to say, "sim- idy because the people live all to- getlier. and no attention whatever is paid to the disease. Most of the people refused had been in Canada ovei- a year. "The class of immigrants coming in through Canadian ports during the jirescnt season is over 50 per cent, belter than in previous years. The principal stcaniship companies, such as the Allan. JJominion^ and lOldcr-Pempster, are co-operating to a large extent in the work, and are refusing passage to an.y but sound and healthy inunigrants." Dr. Ellis, chief immigration inspec- tor, announces that the Oovernment has made i)rovision for the erection of a new immigration building at Quebec, and that every care was be- ing taken to admit only perfectly healthy immigrants. PROPER CURING OF HAY TIMELY SUGGESTIONS THE HAY-MAKiiE. JOB • ♦ DO NOT BIND SANDS Shrubs Planted on Sable Island Fast Dying Out. A Halifax, N. .S., despatch says: Two years ago the ('aiiadian Depart- ment of Marine imported eighty thousand shrubs from France, which were .set out on .Sable Island. This was done in the hope of preventing the sands from drifting and from be- ing washed away by the wind and sea currents which are constantly changing the location of tlie place. These shrubs have jiroved a failure, so say men just returned from the island. The plants are fast dying out for lack of nourishment, and the lierce gales tear them up from their feeble roots. Foxes are multiplying fast on the island, and are causing niuch damage. \ , merly thought posjrible, an<l that the very best quality of liay laay b* secured in this way. •, F. W.

A liprlin despatch says: Thi- Iteich- stag elections took place on 'Puesda.v. The chief feature was the increased success of the .Socialists. which group is increasied from 56 to 71, and the popular .Socialist vote from 2,10(1,000 live years ago, to 2,500,- 000. W'lile this increase in the .So- cialist reiiresentatiim in the Reich- stag will not bo pleasing to the Em- peror, it will not a|iparentl.v have an.y decisive ell'ect, as the Socialist gains appear to have been nmdo at the expense of the Liberals.

Conditions on Which Hay Should Be Cut Early or Late., .Since the htiy crop is likely to be light this year, it is doubly imiiort- aml that it be handled to the best possible advantage and cut and cur- ed in such a way as to secure the laj'gest amount of nutrients in the most digestible and palatable form. To this end it is well at this sea- son to bear the following facts in mind: Karly cut hay is relatively richer in flesh-forming elements; it is nnore p.TJatablo and digestible; it has a sweeter aroma; but it ha.s the disadvantage of being much more diflleult to cure. Grass, as it ap- proacJies maturity, frains con.?ider- ably in weight; i>a,rt of this increase consists of starch and sugar, which is valuable to the feeder; and part consists of crude fibre which de- creasi's digestibility, and renders the hay less palatable. Early cut hay is more valuable per ton than late cut; but a larger amoimt of digesti- ble nutrients per acre is obtained by later cutting. Late cut Imy has also the advantage of being more easily and rapidl3- cured, tluis dim- inishing not oaily the labor but also the risk of loss in harvesting. Karly cut hay is especially valua- ble for sheep, calves, colts and dairy cattle; while for fattening cattle, lato cut hay will give as good results. In experiments con- ducted by Prof. Sanborn of New Hampshire, and Prof. Ifenry of Wis- consin, to determine the relative value of early nia/l late cut hay for fattening steers, the advantage was a little in favor of THI" LAIT^: OUT HAY. "Whether hay should be cut early or late will depend, therefore, o^i the following concUticns: (1) The stock to be kejjt; at least enough hay should be cut early to supply tlie dairy cows and young stock. (2) The season; if the weather be "catchy" it is generally wiser to defer the cutting until somewhat later. (3) The acreage to he haiiid- led: if tlie croji be larjje, it will be necessary to begin cutting earlier. By early cutting is meant cutting at or before tJve time of full bloom. By late cutting is meant cutting between the time of full bloom and ripening. In an.y case, however, hay should be cut before it is ripe enough for the .see<l to shell readily. A crop of mixed clover and timo- tYty ha.y is at its best if both qual- ity and quantity are to be consider- ed, when from one-third to one-half of the clover blossoms have turned brown. lUiy should bo cured and storetl as rapidly as possible after cutting. With this in view, it is better to de- fer cutting in the morning until m(ist of the dew is off. If 30 tons or mtire of bay is to be handled in a season, a todxler will be found a good in.ft.runient . Care must be ex- ercised to avoid storbig hay while at all damp from rain, dew or ab- sorption from the ground. Moisture of this kii»d will spoil hay much quicker than the water contained in its own sap. Last year attejition v/as calle<l to tlie method of curing clover hay priK-tice<l by Mr. Henry Cllendenning. anri a nuniher of other prominent and reliable farnrers. Mr. Glenden- iiing thus outlines his method. C\it when in full bloom, or when the blossoms contain the iihost honey. Cut in the morning after the dew has dricid off. That cut in the morning may be cockixl up in the afternoon. The mower shoiild not be run later than 4 p. m., ami all cut that day should be put into cock BKFORIO TH1-: DE.W FALLS. 'Piiis hay should bo jnit into the barn the next day and well traniji- ed into th.e mows. Ho especially emphasizes the following cojulitious; (1) l>o not cut in the morning un- til the grass is drv. (2) Do not allow fresjli cut hay to lie on the ground ovt'C night, ex- po.sed to dew or rain. (3)If any hay sIvouUl get wet with rain, let it stand in the cocks until thoroughly dry before lajiing to the barn. :Mr. Cllendenning state.i thai his Kay came out as ,gi<t>n as when it was jiut in. with tlic blos.soms a beautiful pink color, which would indicate that it had not lieated .so much as one woulil naturally eH- pect. The advantages of this method are: (1) The saving of time be- tween cutting and storing, lessening the risk of damage from rain; (2) All leaves and blossoiu.s, the most valuable piuts of the plants are snMwl; t3) 'Pile hay is cleaner nnd brighter than that cured in the oUl w ay . Of course luw cannot be curcxl by rule; conxlilions vary. A good me- thod of curing on a gravelly up- land farm v.inild be (piite uiuslliti'd to the llatti'r clay and Inim.us soil. 'Phe length of time for which hay shovdd be exposed in the swath will >be determined by its ripeness, by the humidity of the at nmyphere. the teiuperal ur,' and imiistners of the siiil, the jircsirce or absence of wiTwl, etc. So tluxl ever>- man must be. in large mca-stire. a law unto hims'df, n'nd his practice must be governevi by pj>r.sonal exiierienre. It aj»pears to be a fact, however, that when the cinidilioiis are fav- orable, anil Hw iie'.es-sar>' skill and judgment exercised, clover mriy be stored nmch greener tJian was for- HURT AT BARN-RAISING Ssrious Accident or. Farm Neat New Haniburg. A New Hamburg, Ont., despatch says: Saturday afternoon, shortly before five o'clock, a very serious ac- cident occurred on the farm oi ex- Councilor John Weber in the Town- ship of Wilmott, situated about two miles east of this village, whereby about thirteen persons were more or less seriously hurt. Mr. Weber waa building an addition to his largo barns, and had invited about forty to lifty of his friends to assist him to raise the addition in position. When one of the heavy timbers was peing placed in position the cement wall, which had only been built a fe\S days ago, and which had apparently not thoroughly set, gave way, and precipitated those who were hand- ling the timber to the lower portion of the stables. A messenger was hurriedly sent to New Hamburg to summon medical assistance, and Dr. Waller a* once hurried to "tlie scene of the accident. Telephone messages were also sent to Baden, Plattsville and New Dundee, summoning the medical men from these villages. The following are the names of those seriously hurt: â€" Rudy Gingerich, chest crushed and eye pierced. Aaron Shantz, injured internally. .John Steiner, injured internally. Jacob Binkle, thumb cut oil. Allan Schie- del, one arm crushed. Ed'w. Kkrope, shoulder crushed. Jos. Steinmann, ankle broken. Soloman Shantz, in- ternally injured. Noah Shantz, seri- ously hurt. FAT BABIES NOT BEST The Lancet Says the Old Theory is All Wrong. A London despatch says: The Lancet, the leading medical journal of England, raises its voice against baby shows, complaining that from time immemorial the lirst prize has always been given to the fattest baby. Last week at the Wultham- stow show fifty babies born last March competed. The winner turned the scale at 161 pounds. The Lancet points out tluit this is all wrong. It regards such an infant as a "Carbo- hydrate, or sugar-fed infant, with a curiously translucent, almost opal- escent appearance of the tissue. " Fat babies, the Lancet says, ara "hypertrophic, square-headed infants.'' The paper goes on to argue that fof this reason the prizes should not bd awarded to the fattest, but to tha medically finest baby. BODIES TORN INTO SHREDS Lyddite Explosion at the Wool' wich Arsenal.
