AGRICULTURAL, A Farmer 'i Education. Wo know a farmer may live on, an<l eveu make a moderately fair living, w have known a few U> become wealthy, without an education, yet such instances aro rare, and a* a rale the farmer who is the heal educated make* the best living, all other things being equal. The history of the pant proves beyond a doubt that the moat thor- oughly educated men of all ranks will do more and better work than uneducated mea and farmers are no exception to the rule. VS e do nut believe there is any other pro- fession that requires a more extended and geueral education than farming t litre is very little knowledge that cannot in aomo way be made useful on the farm. Unedu- cated men do not often read agricultural journals and papers, hence we do not liud them using improved methods of farming. or see on their farm tile best stock or the best farming implements. They still use scrub hogs, they still run six times in a row with an old fashioned bull- tongue plow ; they know absolutely nothing of the market report* ; they never know what the prob- able home and foreign demand will be; they never know when it is best to sell or when it ia belt to hold their produce for belter prices. It U only the educated farmer that understands how to make the head do good work, as well as the heels. The educated fanner is known by his fences, his orchard, bis houses, Ins stock and his farm imple- ments : so is the uneducated one known ; the former has, a* a rule, arrived at the highest point of excellence ill these things, the latter just the opposite. One educated farmer ia worth nitre to his neighborhood than a barnyard full of ignorant ones. Have you not noticed how a whole neighborhood has been influenced by the energy, taste and education of one of their number, to change the whole aspect of their farms, bringing them into a higher sta.e of culti- vation and making them blossom as the rose T But an education is not valuable alone for its advantage in acquiring wealth. Its ac- starting with the load, oh, wha'. a sight met my gaze. The leadiug pair begau to plunge aui) liouud. The near horse trying to gel over the otf one, got his feet entangled m Ihe harness, uud all sorts of gymnastics. The wheel pair trying to act as bad as the loaders, but could not, because they were encased, each one, in a pair of heavy shafts instead of a pole, as in this countr). I stood a few second* and watched their per- formance, and finding they did not get their accustomed whipping, but instead a few mild words, they Itegan to be a little mure quiet. Then again I requested them to start, when they a"ain became frightened anil rushed any way out the right. I told them to stand still and not be worried, patlcd them on the neck, rubbed their ncses and told them I knew tr.i-y had beeu sadly abused, but that kind of ubus was done with ; talked to them as I would have done to a little child. 1 think perhaps wo stood there fifteen minutes. I took the nigh loader by the head, after throwing my whip y the load. on the load. Letting them see I had uo whip to use on them, I said to him, 'Come along, sir.' at the same time walking oil" myself. Then not looking at him in the face, 1 ut looking the way I was going, and being assured they were not going to get hipped, they all four put shoulder to collar and took the load half way up the hill, when 1 stopped, blocked the wheels and gave them a few seconds to breathe. Again I aaked them to start, when they begun to rush here and there, trying; to turn round and many other antics, t also began my part of the amusing performance by get- ting them into shape, all In? while talking mildly to them and acting in a careless way as if 1 was in no hurry. I asked them to start, and after one or two trials at that place, they started and took the load up the rest of the hill. After this they seemed to place confidence in me, and I had no more difficulty during that day, although, we re- turned and drew two more loads. Three days after the above I was sent to draw a heavy load otic of a very bad place, where the wagon cut in to Ihe hubs, and when I was ready I spoke very carefully to them so as not to excite their fears ; they botbeied quirement is a sacred duty that every one j for a few minutes but the whip was not owes to the Creator, his country and his fellow man.

Vancouver News-Advertiser says : Early the other raornin; a sealing schooner dropped unchor i<i Kuglinb Bay, and passcn- gers on the Pteamera Yosemite and other vessels entering the harbor were at a loss to know what schooner it was. A short time later, however, il was learned lhat it was the schooner Ko.iie Olsen of Victoria, anii tlml ('apt. Copp and the crew of the schoon- er Vancouver Be'.le of this port, which had lit-i n -oi/.ed by the Uuntiaus were on board, inodditiontouiue men oll'ihe Schooner W.I'. Sayward, three off the K. B. Marvin, and three off the Annie C. Moore. The Rosiu Olsen was lowed into Ihe barlKir by tho steamer Leonora, and came alongside thu wharf at about 10 o clock, and then the whole story was learned from thu crew. The seizure was msde on August I'.'lh, when she was about '2- miles from Copper Island. She had at th. time about TOO skins on boanl, and had already turned towards home, the boats being out sealing for the last day in this locality. There woreat the time of the seizure several schooner* in the neighborhood, among them the Agnes Macdonald which brought down the news of the seizure. A slight fog came on, and thus the schooners did not aee the Russian cruiser Zabiaka, which was bearing down on them, until she was tjuite close. All the boats wero called in at once, and the Vancouver Belle had all her boats oil board, but the cruiser caught her after a short chase, although all the other schooners got otf. ( 'apt. Copp tan up THE 11K1TIB1I FLA(i to tho mast, hut this did not have any ef- fect, and when asked why hm vessel was Hei/ed was told by the captain that he had orders to seize any vessel found sealing within a limit of 100 miles round Copper Island, the Russian (iovernmeiit claiming jurisdiction over this tract of water. Capt. Copp aud all the men except Harvey Copp and two hunter* were transferred lo the ZahiaKaand a pri/e crew consisting of two officers, a boatswain, and twelve mon wore placed on lh Vancouver Bolle, which was) headed for 1'etropaulofsky, where she ar- rived one day before the Xabiaka. Harvey Copp aud the hunlvri do not apeak very highly of ill. seamanship of these men, and had it not been for them they would prob- ably not have reached port in safety. Capt. Copp ssys that h. reneived very fair treatment al the hands of the Captmn of tho Xabiaka, although the men did uot much appreciate the food they received, as il consisted of soup with meal in it and rye bread, all sitting round the pot and scoop- i ing into it with tbeir spoons, the food being ! the same as the other sailors had. On ar- riving at 1'etropaulofsky they were detain- ed there a week, and during lhat tune they win allowed lo kopecks per ilay for each man, which Capt. Copp received fiom the < ..n.-nior. who did not (rent him with much . "ur'. v. ami even the Russian interpreter did not like lo translate all the expressions be used. The fifteen kopecks were eipial t'j about seven cents, and thus an idea can be formed of the amoiiul each could pur- chase. 'Vhile at Petropaulofsky two other Rus- sisn cruiser:* arrived in port, on one of which was the Admiral of ibe squadron. Capt. Copp had asked the captain of the Xabiaka, to be allowed to relutn tn Van- i confer in the Vancouver Belle, even if ho hd to give up tho skins, but this ho said | was out of his power. The matter wa... tinslly referred to the Admiral, and he agreed '.o allow them to have the Rosie Olsen, which had been condemned by tho Russians, and who had intruded to sink it by IlltlNi. INTO IT. , Thi* schooler lielongs to Victoria, Capt. ! Knife, being tho principal owner, and had a crow of Siw.uiies, who had been sent back to Victoria on the birquc Majestic some time since. The vessel was decidedly ) unueaworthy, aud no care had been taken I ot it, while lying in the harbor, but Capt. Copp decided to take the opportunity of escape offered him, aud agreed t ed on the bows, the Russians had seized the tallowing schooners : RosieOlsen, Victoria; Ami, Victoria ; Willie Macgowan, Vic- toria : Knlerprise, Victoria: Clai otte U. Cox, Victoria ; Vancouver llelle. Vane -av- er ; C. H. White, San Francisco ; and KiUe snd Annie, San Francisco. They had si- lowed the schooner K ate and Annie to go after taking away the skins, as they did not apparently think her sufficiently good to keep. All the others except I lie Knler- prise and Cox were at 1'etropaiilofeky when they left, and it was lhouhl these two wi-ro at Vladivostok. Thtte are about the best vessels in the whole British and ATnerican fleets, and th. Russians have secured a tine haul. The Russians picked up the boats that were nupposed to lie lost by thu Victoria schooner, aud these men were brought down by Capt. Copp. They report that ono boat's crew of the Annie I '. Moore are still on Copper Island, and if they are not taken off will doubtless perish iu the Winter, owing to the intense cold. The Vancouver l!i-lle had already started on her homeward trip when seized, and had only risneil loroueday near Copper Inland. Seal* were very plentiful there and in that day she caught 104, which was the highest catch made, the best catch beside that being 54. Slid did not enter the Behring Sea at all. Capt. Copp has grown a full Ix-ard and haa cliange.it in appearance consider- ably sinte he left hem, no much so that Mrs, Copp did not recognize him at lirt. The company that own the Vancouver Belle have not met j-et, but will do so '.o-day, and all the information on the matter will be forwarded to the authorities at Ottawa. A question has arisen as to who is now the legal owner of the echooner Kosm Olsen, as she was given by the Russians to Capt. Cnpp. Anyhow she is not worth much, al- though the captain of the Xabiaka thought her a beautiful model, aud largo number* of people visited her yesterday, and listened eagerly to the adventures of the crew.

II.. cannot be otherwise than ugly under such treatment as is meted out to him : it should study ths possibilities of the export would not bo natural for him to have a trade of the United States. Fifteen yar* ago we did almost nothing in this hue, and the only outlet for our increasing produc- tion to which we oould look was our increasing capacity tor consumption. gentle disposition. Within a weex 1 have seen two bulls, one not yet two years old, that have not been out of the stall, except when led by the pole The : and ring, for seven months. Tho bulls are ratio of <mr increasing population showed '< hold by the old-style stanchion*, so lhat pretty clearly what wo could depend upon ! they cannot read, with their head any part from ihis source, and the production was : of tho body.

The exports now amount to about sixty-five million dollars a year in live cattle and dressed meat*, and there is ao wide a margin between i ho value of meat .11 Kurope and the cost of producing it here upon our cheap lands that there would seem to be nu near limit to tho pos- sibilities of the extension of that trade ; but it must be borne in mind that only the very best classes of catllo are wanle.l for export. " dinners, stock" and culls of every de- scription will remain at home to glut our market and depress prices. Really good cattle aro not and have not been at any time greatly in excess of our own needs, hut now, when they are offered, export buyers are always ready to take '.hem, and w> if sold for home u.-e they bring bettor price, than if such a market was not ready. 1'h.. lesson of this export trade is that mure good cattle should be raised, then more would be exported, and the entirn market for all grades would respond to such relief with a igher average of prices. With Balky Horses. A reader who has had experience in tho management of balky horses says of an in stance wherein ho was called upon to drive a team that was notorious for its balking propensities : "The road being ready, I took my whip and gave the word to start, bin instead of bullx treated in thn same way, ami thuir owners wonder why they are cross. Who or what would notlxxjome cross, even mail, fran tic, under uchcifcumst*ncee?; Some farmers appear to think that because a bull is a bull, ho is not entitled lo auy considei - ation. The question has been asked often, " What shall we do with thu bull?" and it IIII.H as often been answered ; namely, Work him." Tnere is no reason why the bull should not be yoked and worked like the ox. He makes a good draft animal, an.l hi* working duos not impare hi* vitality or usefulness in other respects. HocrUatohor- To catch % hog ami hold him without striking or laying hands on him, prepare a strong, small cord with a xlip-nooso at one end ; lay the noose on the ground, a li'tle oxtonued, and place within the circlo some corn. When the hog comes to eat the corn llie noose can be drawn snug back of the tu*k by Ihe first intention. I caught a pig in that way once, which weighed one hundred and thirty pound*, drcsxed, which I wished to butcher alone. I tied the cord to tho top of a post a' the side of the pen, and a* lie sott'.cd bank on his baunchi x, cut his throat, and .lid not touch him with a finger till after ho was dead. I think this method would be pre'ci..M>. for a large hog, rather than chase linn around lo throw him and listen > his outcry. to take tho other men with him. The sc'uoonor has only urcuiir'imlMi'.M for twelve men, and there were .'!* men in all, so that it can be i seen that they had pretty clow qu.irtfra, j and some of the men had to sleep in Ihe ho'.d | where tho sealskin, were kept. Tim vessel was in a very Inly condition, liut I he men sceme.i to favor risking anything to re- maining in that inhospitable place. Thoy were given <>me provisions out of tho schooner C. H.

Hour, beof, pork lard, tea and hill a barrel of sugar given them and mi asking for some butter were told that tiiey could not have such a luxury given them. Tho bcif and pork were bad and had to IM thrown overlward, and the ryo bread, winch was about as hard as a stone, and black tea, samples of winch were shown a n [>! .-n:ut.\e of the News- Advertiser, ooniulutad the principal items on their in< itu. Tho store, of the Vancouver liello had been nearly exhausted, a they had just about enough to taka them home when they wero captured. By tri -t econ- omy they manugfid to make thin scanty al- lowance of provisions eke out till tiiy ar- rived in port, although they had fhort ra- tions for the last few days, and were all ravenously hungry when they got bore. They s'.urteu for home on August '.".'nil, having Iwun in 1'clropaulofsky for a week.. Fortunately they were favored with lair? weather the wnola way across, uud made the trip in .'iudayi, as if they had encounter- ed a gale they would probably never have survived TO Tf.l.I. TFH TALK. In addition to the schooner, and the skins, all their guim and ammunition were taken away from them, and they were only al- lowed to take their clothes, an 1 three boats, the KuKsiiiiis taking care to see that they took tho three worst of tho lot.

At the (Geographical Congress in Bern, a year ago Prof. Penck proposed thu publica- tion of a map of the eutire world on a uni- form scale of 1 in l.OOO.OOU, or about 10 statute miles to the inch, the various nations to take pan in tl.e ;iro tuclion of the map. Th. proposition was favorably enlvi tuiucd, and a coinmillee was appointed to take steps for its realisation.

The .i. m... i... ! .->- of a Palro: In Juno last th. French Ministry of Public lustra-turn confided to I'lu.rlea Rabot, a young explorer, who had already visa..) 'liernlund, Laplunil, and Silnria, a mission to collect specimens of natural history iu the Arctic islands of Jan Muyc-n and Spitzbergen. This department oi tho IVfiuh t iovernment hok repeatedly sent out expeditions of late years lo make seieiiuiiu researches. The Government placed the little vessel La Mauche at the disposal of the explorer, and he sailed from Lt^th, Kngliind, on July 'JO for Jaii Mayen, which ii about 27') miloa north of Iceland. Just a month later he returned to Tromior, iu northern Norway, after a successful voyage, bringing homo specimens of all the plants that grew in the regions ho visited. In a letter he wrote from Tromsoe ho said that his party did not see a particle of :ca between Scotland aud Jon Mayen. This is rather remarkable, as the island is very often difficult of approach on account of the lie. Mr. Rabot found Ihu bu.ldings occupied by the Austrian meteorologists in the winter ot IHS'J ..S.'! in excellent condition, auu the provisions they left behind were good enough, to oat. The explorer crossed the itland, which is of volcanic origin, cut up by deep ravines and lofty mountains. The old vol- canoes are covered with glaciers. Iu llie ravines were a few plants which grow only two or throe inches above the soil. They are the Alpine plants found in Kurope at au elevation of about 10.UUU ieeU Some of them were in bloom aud their colors were | beautiful and vivid. Along th. coaul was a j good deal of driftwood which bad beeu I brought, by oce.ui currents, from Norway, I as amid the wood Rabot found implemeuu i used by ti.h.rmen ou tho Norway coast. Then the party wenl northeast to .(pit/.- bergrn, where they arrived on Aug. I, meet- ing with uoice. That part of the Arctic waters seems to have beeu uncommonly free from ice during the past season, though a great deal of heavy ice was reported in i.reenland waters. In the fiords of Spitz- bergeu Itabot did not see a single iceberg as big as a ship. After coasting along the west side of Spitsbergen the vessel entered the doep Ice Kiord, midway on the west .oast. This year it does not deserve ito name, for there was scarcely aujuske in si^ht, though the fiord is usually packed with il. The party ascended to the northern end of me fiord and lhat made a considerable journey inland by which they reached near- ly the centre of Spitsbergen. From a lofty mountain they could we a great distance around. They saw very few glacierr, but the plateaus were crossed by mauy ravines, .nid the general aspect of the country, Rabot says, is similar lo that of the most desolate part of Colorado. The parties suc- ceed.; I in making a very interesting collec- tion of fossil plants for ihe Museum of Nat- ural IlisKiry m Pant. < Inly few plants were found and one specimen of a dwarf tree. In the patt geological ute, however, 1 the island had a luxuriant flora of palms 1 anil other plants that flourish in very warm 'climates.
