Millet, Hungarian grass, corn, oats and peas are aninnx the varieties principally mentioned as being sown. Large areas ar- apparently devoted to Hungarian grass Mid millet. Corn is alao reported from ijnitc a few places. 1'eas and oats, mixed, appear to be sown quite generally, and in many cases oats alone are sown for the purpose of being cut for fodder. In many instances mixtures of oats and other seeds are sown together, all apparent- ly experimenting for the purpose of arriv ing at the best possible results. Dairying This branch of industry is not receiving the attention tint it should in a Province like (Ins which i* ko eminently adapted tor dairying purposes. The r< are many, among which may be mentioned the loog distances in many cases that cream and milk have to be drawn, the unsatisfac- tory prices realised by farmers for their milk an I the want of factories and creamer n-- in many plm-es whereat present there are none. I hi number of milch cows in the Province- is shown to tie 7.'>.96fi. Of this total the greatest numbers are found in the eastern, south-central anil northwestern districts. Three figure* would set in to hear out the statement* of many correspondent* that the number <>f .-heese factories and creameries in the Province are not sufficiently numerous to utilise the cream ami milk that could be anil is produced in a great many localities. eneial Farming The pamphlet contains a table giving thr number of fanners in the Province, together with theaverageijuantity of land put under cultivation by each. The number of farmers shown i largely in excess of that of lal year. The ntinilier reported list season was felt to lie consul rably short of the actual niimlier then in the Prmiin f, and this, together with thr natural increase of *etllers since that time, may account for the mcrraw.

Ha, there, be careful what you do ' Don't break oil the long- running root ! Follow it up, tenderly, slowly ; loosen the earth in advance with a spading-fork or trowel ; don't begrudge the time. You can no more expect your plant to show vigor- ous growth if you chop off it* feet, than you would expect your sou to be in lillci cut to having one foot of his right leg and c^veral toes oi his left chopped off, with one or two fingers of one hand, and at the same time to surfer deep wounds in other parts of his l>ody. The writer was told by John Burroughs that the Virginia deeper that covers his house in front was transplanted by him with such care in following up the roots that it ran up to the eaves the first \eir And anybody c in change the habit- at or locality of any tree or bush without the plant feeling it at all - by proper care. Hegin this work early in the spring last of Apiil or first of May. Dig a hole of ample size, place in it the tree just a little lower than it originally stood, spread out all the tine rootlets, fill in pulverized earth until half of all is in, then pour in a pail of water and allow all to settle. This is to pack the earth around the fine rootlets. Then fill in the rest of the soil and trample down bard (unless the soil is a heavy clay). If the roots have been curtailed at all, cut oil from the branchery about the same quantity as the tree has lost in the roots ; otherwise the decimated rcotage will ex- haust itself in trying to supply sap and mineral matter to more foliage than it is capable of doing. For the circulation of sap in a tree is precisely like that of the blood in an animal body ; each holds in solution and is the vehicle of solid nutrient particles, and the source of food upply must be equal to the want* of the structure to be supplied or atrophy and stunted life will be the result. Roots of a tree when out of the ground should always be kept moist and away from the sun; they will keep heter "heeled in;" i. e. covered with fresh soil, than in any other way. A light mulch around the tree when planted will keep the soil moist if the weath- er promises to be dry. The abandoned land what shall be done with it? Plant a goodly part of it in tree* ! It will pay, no matter whether you area young man or an old. Plant ten or twenty acre* with young white or honey locust trees, close together, and ten or twenty acres with sugar niiiples. No Northern tree grows more rapidly than the locust, and few are more valuable in the market for fence posts. As for the sugar maples, suppose it true that you may not personally live to utilize them lac sugar making ; you hi>ve at any rate a valuable property every year growing more valuable. And, it the case of Itoth kinds rf trees mentioned, remember there is no ex- pence for manure from year to year. Only keep the cattle off, and cultivate a little till the tree* get a start, i. e. , if you plant small trees, as it will pay better to do. It would be well to plant trees from the seed in a nursery of your own. iin n i A r 11 1 H i i:. Thinning Fruit. In a recent issue of the Farm null \'in-ynr<l is the following unanswerable argument in favor of thinning fruit : It is evident that in developing the seed of any class of fruit or vegetable the vitality of the tree and \ me is taxed to its utmost, while the elements of the soil are heavily draw i. upon to supply the potash and other salts appropriated by the pit or seed. It takes a greater amount of nutrition to de- velop the seed than it does the pulp. 1'he seed is nourished at the expense of all other portions of the tree. No matter how poor the soil, how slight the moisture, how much pulp is produced, the tree or vine will mature |>erfect seed in every fruit that set-, tn tbe starvation of every other part of the tree. Many a tree gives up its life to the maturing of serd. If more fruit sets on a tree than it can healthfully nourish the fruit will be small, stunt 1. md mpr..|. tion as they are drnsley thick will the -!. diminish. It is patent, therefore, if we lake 100 of the young fruit from each tree bearing 'JU>, before the fruit ha* made much growth, the remaining KM) will lie worth more than double the amount the whole numlier of im |-rfi'ctly forried fruit would have brought in any market. Fully one-half the fruit formed on the average tree should be removed, and an e<|nal numl>ernf bunches should betaken from the ^rapc vines, if the IK-SI results are .I'siM-.l. The time lost in thinning is more lli, in corii|icns!ited for in the superior ela*s of fruit obtained by the operation Then, too. iii thinning the fruit on the vine octree the diseased or insect bli^htid fruit cm he n moved ami tin- remaining fruit In- |M ed the ! by, o th it instead of getting wormy, scabby fniit at the harvest, there will Li- a well-formed and unblemished crop. The mistake made in allowing a tree or vine to ovcrltear is the principsu .rise of disease, and the reason why the orct. u.l or \ meyard is prone to hear only every other year to its full capacity. Itv properly thinning the fruit annually, a haiulsorne crop will IH- pro- duced each year ami the trees will U- vigor- ous, thrifty, and well prepared to resist diseases which attack the weakly orchard or Miieyard.

When Will Oarside went down to Brazil sonic years ago with his father to lay out a little branch railroad in the northern part of what W..M theu the empire he certainly neverexpected to come back with gray hairs, but he did, and only six months from the time he left home, though only a boy of 10; and this is how it happened. Father and sou took up their residence in a little flat- roofed house built of sun-dried bricks in a ii.ii row valley through which ran the A o, a tributary of tin- Orinoco. The weather was intensely hot, and for a long time, so the nr.tives said, no rain had fallen. When it did come, they added, it would make up for lost time, l.owever. Neither Mr. ( iariide cor his son gave much thought to the matter, though, except to wiahlliatalittleshower would happen along DOW and then to cool things a bit. But a considerable part of the road was completed and the engineers were about to move on, when suddenly one afternoon the weather changed. Mr. (jarside had gone up the val- ley to look out for new lodgings, when Will, who had remained behind to pack up, noticed that the light was fading rapidly. Then the sky grew from gray to black almost as he looked up at it ; the next instant flashes of lightning broke through the gloom, the thunder boomed and howled, and then the rain torrent came down. After the first surprise Will went on packing up ; nor was it until he had entirely finished that, looking up, he saw that the stream, now grown a rushing river, had begun to overflow it* bai.k- and to spread over the country. Still, however, he felt littlealarm, until toward nightfall the water reached the house, which stood on a hillock not far from the river, and, rapidly rising, drove the boy out upon the roof. Then only did he realize hi* desperate situation. The flood so often hinted at by the natives, the 4n*d of whose terrible ravages they told so many stories which he had always regard- ed ai notions, the Hood thatswcptall befor* ft w.i upon him, and he was alone at its mercy. Even as he told himself this there was a crash, and Will had time to seize a projecting liough that overhung the roof and wing himself into the tree, when away went roof, bouse and all in the swirling tor- rent. But this *M only the beginning. In any moment, as he clutched the branch he had so luckily seized, he felt a shock that made his teeth rattle in hu head and instantly the tall tree to which he clung was lorn up by the roots as easily as a tuft of grass, and he and it went whirling head- long down the raging torrent together. As he was whirled onward through the dark- nenn, for the sun had set, Will caught sight of t wo pale spots of greenish -yellow light close to each other and seeming at no great distance. They seemed to remain in one place, and as well as he could judge fiom their position were just at the other eiul <.f the tree trunk, close to the upturn roots. Suddenly the truth flashed upon him. These spots of light were the eyes of a wild beast, a panther probably, which must, like himself have scrambled on to the tree for refuge. To sail through a raging flood on an up- rooted tree is not a pleasant experience, but to make the voyage with a full grown pan- ther is still more unsatisfactory. Will's heart sank, aud he was Iwginning to think it might be best after all to let o, leaving the panther to enjoy his company, when to mill to his terror the fury of the storm be- gan to slacken, the wind fell, the rain beat less violently and a pale gleam of moonlight broke through the hurrying clouds, which, faint as it was, suffered to confirm our hero's worst fears. Crouching upon the trunk within a few yards of turn was the largest panther he had ever seen. II. Hut strange tossy, with the added horror came also calmer reason, aud presently Will perceived that, although the panther, crouching upon that bare, smooth stern, was plainly visible to him, there was little or no fear of his living seen. In Men as he was among that mass of leafy houghs. He soon concluded, moreover, that he was in little danger, even if the beast should happen to catch sight of him, its natural fierceness being apparently so thoroughly inullc.l bv the frightful danger in which it, too, ,!...{. that like mmicll its only thought was to hold on .11 tirrulv ,i- | -' I.

This log upon which he was petched was not a log at all, but a panther probably the very one from which he had pai teil about a half an hour Iwforc.

A few blows made au end of the exhausted panther, while Will, carried in triumph by the savage* to the highest part of the ridge, was made a* comfortable as circumstances would permit. It was a long time, though, before he re- covered sufficiently to go m search ot his father, and when finally Mr. (jareide, who had been saved by being on hilly ground when ,he storm broke, again met his son, he was shocked to see that the fright and agony of his one night's adventure with flood and panther had t re iked poor Will's hair with white. Beyond that, though, no permanent harm had been done the lad, who is to-day a tine young engineer of 'J7, and, I fancy, rather proud of his gray hair. i ni Hallsberj ttpeek*. Lord Salisbury, in a spee-.-h at the lord mayor's banquet last week, reviewed the labors of the present session of the Imperial Parliament. He said hard and valuable work had been done, and the obstruction formerly hindering legislation had almost disappeared. He rejoiced at the pasting of the education bill a* calculated to support the system of religion which the people loved. Regarding Ireland, Lord Salisbury said the Government had applied a success ful remedy to evils long suffered there, and could look back on iu policy with satisfac- tion. Five years ago he had expressed the belief that Ireland must be governed reso- lutely. Mr. Balfour's success was largely due to the fact that those serving under him ere assured that they would be supported and not handed over to their enemies. Mr. lialfour's administration owed it* success to persistence and resolution. Respect for the aw followed, the people feeling that re- sistance to the law waa futile. ' ' The Land Act," Lord Salisbury declared, "will be : ound not to be a temporary palliative, but a permanent cure for the troubles cf many generations. It will draw closer the uond uniting the two countries. Eng- land in the last election declared against the severance of the bond, and, I l*>- lieve, the decision is irrevocable. Referring to foreign powers Lord Salisbury said he never knew a period when Kurope was more tranquil than at the present time. In South America alone was there a weary quarrel and constant disorder. The English (Gov- ernment had been pressed to arbitrate in the Chilian dispute, and in the adjustment of the Argentine finances, but Kngland could not undertake either task. Kefernng to the eastern question Lord Salisbury said that problem had not yet been solved, but F.gypt ard Bulgaria were showing -u h | rapid development that they promised to settle the difficulty without any external interference. The premier next spoke of the value of the visit of Kinperor William and the Prince ot Naples in assuring the world of the peaceful ideas of the great powers. He said he hoped in the course of a few weeks to welcome t England the fleet of the French republic. There hail been talk, he continued, of cer- tain treaties threatening, the peace cf the world, but he knew nothing ot them. II" believed the nations would work in harmony with each other, more on account of their kindred interests than .in account of mere paper treaties. Kefernng to the seal and lobster dispute Lord Salisbury said they dragged their slow length along with the calmness am) slowness suitable to those ani- mals. It was useless, he added, to imagine that the luxury of carrying on these negoti i tions would cease for any Minister for A considerable number of years. The KSjIpplMt .if i. in I.-. The Hon.

This growth, however, gave an oj> portunity to what is known as "tramp" vessels not fitted for tlic trade geltm-j cargoes, and tlu loss on sonic of these v ssels was so frightful that a bill was introduced in the Imp. rial I'arliauient to prohibit the importation of live cattle altogether. That bill IMS since been Withdrawn, but it had the effect of calling attention to the impera- tive necessity of imvcriuiiental control of the shipping of cattle. The bill contains a provision that the (iovcrnor in council may make all necessary regulations and may appoint inspectors to see these regulations enforced. Slost of the regulations are n iw in force in the regular line ships engaged in the Hade They provide that cattle shall not IK; carried on more than three decks, and not in the hatches or in anv way that will interfere with the working of. the ship.
