Then let him look well before investing, and be sure to gel the kind in which he thinks there is tbe most profit, whether tii.e weol or coarss, and if coarse, then what particular breed Fine wools do Well for some formers. They combine wool with pe-iigree 'two parts uf the latter to one of the former), and depend chiefly upon ales to bring the profit. The wool, although much heavier, docsuct bring BO much per pound ai tbe coarser grades, on account of the amount ol oil and gum which i*. con- tains. Coarse wool sheep aie very prolific, and the thief profit in railing them arises from th.- site of the Iambi, of wlnrli tbe ew will often raise three apiece, two being the rule. Pure bred sheep are preferable to grades, tho same a* pure bred hornet or cattls are superior to grades. There i* a money value lutclied M a pure bred animal of any kind which a icrnb can never possess. If one's purse will not allow of an extcnaivs pur chssr whtn buying, be content with a few well hr.l itnunili, which in a few years will probably so incrcaae that you will be well supplied, ami far more satisfactorily (ban would be the case with a larger number of leas valuablu ones. Thi* rule applies to all animals. If buying a cow, let it be a thoroughbred if possilile, and if yon cjumot afford that buy a heifer calf, which may be tho nucleus of a valuable herd. Next iu consideration for our farmer h.> would make money on his farm comes tbe iteui of czpciidituru, for no matter how good a farmer be may be, bow vood crops lie may grow, or bnw much lie may mute, if he upend* mui : tnaii hi* inconis his years of prospnrity are few. hiving within one's income may mean a great deal of self denial 11 nuv meat: going without many things to which we have always been accuitomed aud wbic always been considered indi|w.nable. 1 1 may moan wearing last year clothing and riding in a lumlier wagon.

Another reason for the choice i* that the laud in question is generally unfit for agricultural purposes, while those portions which con- tain better land are so isolated as to render the propect of farming a gloomy one. If nu.ii land were ever needed for the purpose, there is plenty available outside the limit*. It i* not lupposed that tliouifh the forest be reserved it wonld render the cutting of timber impracticable. 1 1 might very well be placed under mcli supervision as many Kuropean forest*, where the mature trees' are regularly cut and ths rest carefully pre- served to maintain a constant supply of Such a reservation also might form nt IIOMI > t AIJ.- rw uiv<-k Tke . ,1 1 I ..d Ike feu * u* K , are , , . by too small shocks, ind by not ' that the bales should be tied up with tlrong '" v " u l " preoerve tor game, full and fur ' cord, and they ihould not be over 1 12 ! b **"" animals.

Mears. Cleeve lira*., Liv- erpool, who have received several large con- signment* of Canadian hay think that tbe nine' suitable kind is clover, witli a very little timothy mixed.

Kastman at a recent dairy fereuce said : There are nut g > i i iiough for us all, even if we have the canh to puy for them, which many of n* have not, but we may have them mm Ii quicker than we think if we will but make the ef- fort. The expenne will be found mnall. Time u tbe chief factor. All, or nearly all native herds contain one, two or more cews that are uot only pertnient milkers, airing milk inn* or ten nieuth*. but a good flow of it, and containing four or more percent of butler tat. The scale aud test will intro- duce you to them. Then purchase a U.utoughbsed bull from a good bnitir- family of a butter-making breed. Then breed these luslod cow* to him. Take good care of the heifers ; have them come in milk when they ate If.' to *J4 month* old ; use the scale. Uabcock test and pencil. Then, if you find they are an improvement upon mother*, keep them and breed them once more to tho name *ire. I wenld not of Canadian hay nhotiM have a distinctive mark. Another Liverpool firm writes that tbe beat sort of Canadian bay ho* fetched from C4 to tt 10> per ton. The packing, however, is lather too heavy, and they sug- gest a wide banding similar to that in use with United State" hay. Messrs. Mair ft Marqnis of (ilaagow, who have also had some experience with Canadian hay, sug- gest that the bay should be certificated and graded. They have had a good deal of ~ nwi ' trouble on account of the irregularity in the quality of the shipment* sent over. Real good timothy is in demand, but their letter point* to their belief that the trade ho* been much injured by some iafenor ship- ment* which have come to hand. Tbe tap price feU-hed n 14 per ton. From tliese typical replies one or two conclusions can certainly be drawn. One is thai reasonably low freights are essential to the permanent siicces* of the trade. If the there whe would be useful for many pur poses. For instance, many young pine tree* in fact valuable trees of all descriptions - will be feuud growing in clump* sod chok- ing one oaother. These could be easily sep- arate. I and planted at proper distances. If liiinntf or ihotsu( were allowed, cars should be taken that it ihould be limited to proper season*, and that no person lie permitted lo kill any more than a certain amount. The channels of the various atreams also would require some attention, aud, of course, bush fires should be checked a* soon as noticed.

Tbe Kiesnk co'mati, nuiiilirrinif 4,OOO infsatry and cavalry and several caoooa. set out fswoi the coast on Aug. Hi, and tbe campaign list therefore laeted two and a hall months. The usual routi to Abomey is by road,al- most directly north from the cojst town / Whydah. Thu route, however, involve! i.-roesing a wide lagoon, which would e> difficult for the artillery, and Col.

His artillery went ahead and broke a rood along the river bank for the trooys to follow, and the cavalry and a part of the supplies were toweU up tbe river on transports, while 2, 400 native porten carried tbe remainder of the provision*." The advancing force had a number of skir- mishes with the enemy and three had fought battles before it reached the neigh- borhood of (.'anna and A bomey .

In all thete endeavor* improvement the natural conformation at of the surface, broken as it ii by bill*, riven and succession of level and rolling ground, would afford great assistance. In fact with no greater expense, the whole reservation, if properly managed, would form in a few years a very large, beautiful and valuable park and might continue so for all time to come. It would not, I think, be advisable to allow settlement within Us limits, bat it would afford many excellent camping itruiiusU, where the citiaen and hi* faaiuiy, weary of the lif* of towns, un^b-. rind dur- ing a part of tho tn inner agreeable relaxa- tion and pleasant repeee.
