AGRICULTURAL. Soil* that are naturally wet and un train- ed will not grow peimanont grasses IB good form. Several of the more meful kind* could not sustain themselves in uch soill, even thougn they ihould secure a foothold for a time. Those of a coarse and inferior character would supplant them, and *s the graiees failed there would bo DO little dan- ger that various form* of weed lift would assert themselves. UmlerdrJning would andoubledly improve such '.oils very much. ID fact, it would make such a change in some soils as to transform them into a condition pre-eminently adapted to the growing of mixed grasses. -Soils naturally well adapted to growing permament pattur- ft are not capable of growing them in best form so long as they are foal with various forms of not ou weed life. Indeed the attempt should not be made to grow them on snoli soils until the weeds have been greatly reduced in numbers by some preparatory process. When lands are sown with mixed grasses for permanent pastures that are foul with weed), the cbauoes are that the weeds will increase rather 'han decrease. They will rather crowd the grasses than be crowded by them. And there is uo means of removing them in such soils except by hand spudding or by the use of the scythe or mower. It these pasture* became polluted with such dercnnials as the corn sow thistle, the mower will only prevent them from poducing seed it will not avail to destroy the weeds, or evan to reduce their numbers. It is therefore of prime importance that lands are in a fairly clean condition before they are laid down to permanent pastures. The most suitable soils for permanent pasture* are those ol a free working char- acter, and which have at the same time the power to retain moisture in a fair d gree. They must also be in a fair condition as to fertility. It is better if they have enough sand in them to give them opean of texture. Such lands will generally be (ound with rather level surfaces, but *,here are some exceptions. Kiver bottoms and flat lands bordering on the leaser stream* are usually well adapted to such uses, and it is not against them in any degree to De subject to occasional overflow from the water* of the streams which border upon them. Usually soil* which are very well adapted to the growth of Indian corn are also well adapted to the growth of mixed grasses for permanent pastures. Thin is true at least in Ontario, and I imagine that, generally speaking, it will be found true in other countries. Lands which grow ordinary bluegrass in fine form will also in most instances grow mixed grasses of a superior character. It may be asked why not allow them to grow bluegras* solely, as it fc one of the must permanent of grane*. 1 aniwer that a mixture of permanent grass** each of which is at it* best at a different season of the year, is much better than any one of the mixture alone. The attempt should not be made to lay down permanent pasture on soils ill adapt ed to their growth. This ha* been tried in Ontario to some extent, but it ended in failure as it always must. W here such aU ~tmpt* have been made a prejudice has arisen agafnft permanent pastures which has wrought much mischief, and which it will lake some time to overcome. Nearly all farms have some field or fields which will answer the purpose, evin though the other portions of the same should be unsuitable. Such fields, then, and only such, should be chosen. On this station farm we have some fields well adapted to the growth of permanent pastures, while in the case of others we would not even entertain the idea of devoting them to any suuh use. fraoticsjitie*. If an observant man, says a writer in the Prairio Farmer, would stand a short time at the door of one of our all-purpose stores in sjme country town and take note of the character ot the trade, he would be struck with astonishment. It would be no more than we might expect to see the villagers purchasing potatoes and butter and eggs and cabbage, and truck generally ; but to see men, owners of 40, HI) and 100 acre* of land, buying all these articles would re- quire some explanation in his mind. He would say that he couldn't tee the econo- my in paying twelve and one-half cent* for a quart of Snyder blackberries when a half day'* work, twice a week, would be suffi- cient to keep a large family patch fruitful and in order. The merchants can't supply the demands of the farming community for these berries. In the matter of raspberries it was even more so. They could not be had at any price. If there is anything eas- ier to propagate than a Gregg raspberry, it lias not fallen under my notice. "<>," they say, " we can't afford the time. Wo must be at other work." If tney will count the cost and the time required to have these blessings in their own grounds and compare them with what they pay in money and iu going to get them, they would see that they were saving at the spigot and spending at the bungholo. Farmers, to my certain knowledge, sell hogs at four cent* and buy bacon at twelve and fifteen cents, and sometimes more. If this is good financiering, I want it explain- ed so that I may adopt it. tor as the matter stands now in my mini), such farmeis have in that measure missed their vocation. Really, now. is it any wonder that this sort of management make* hard times on such farms! I find no fault with a really good show ; I like to see ground and lofty tumbling, good horsemanship and the like. Hut if I go, it is on my own capital, and not on borrowed money, a* J have known renters to do. And let me assure them that if they don't turn a new leaf in this respect they will always be renters. I knew a farmer to go in debt at the store for coffee, then elf the coffee at a discount for cash, so that he and his might have the wherewithal to pay their wy into a circus. His forty acre* was mortgaged to an eastern com- pany and eventually I bought him out in order that he might save a little to < >in nience again somewhere el*e. The narra tive carries its own moral. It is the little economies 'hat really count with the most of folks. My idei 1* that we should live within our means and within ourselvt*.

If a! adopted this plan we should soon all draw ahead and be independent of banks anc panics, and what is better than all, we woult nave the satisfaction of being independent and of finding time to improve the kind ant the mean* to pay for it. A farmer should be quite thoroughly informed upon many matter* and a little upon all that tail under his observation and reading. Thi* year men in Iowa have sold large bills of peach trees, saying they were perfectly hsrdy because they were grafted on plum roots. No peach tree is hardy in Iowa.'

In the discharge of duty 1 ride more or less evr.ry week over the country. I find that the implement men have driven a thriving trade with the farming community. This is a ,rood indication.

On the morn- ing of the 10th it began to blow, and before the sun wont down that night the splendid ship was rolling in the trough of a fearful sea, a dismantled wreck. The mi/./.nn- mait and jiggermast were hanging over the ide, and every stitch of canvas on the fore and mainmast bad been blown away. The big sea* were making a clean breach over her, and for nearly twenty-four hours the crew could do nothing to relieve the ship. Then the wind and sea went down a little aud the wrack was cut adrift. A few of the lower sails were got on desk one at a time and beiit. Both officers and men worked l.ko beavers, and as soon a* possible the ship was headed for Sydney, 700 miles away. The wind was fav I ] orable and Sydney was reached March -Jl.

The work of refitting went along with a rush and on .April '2S the Ced arbank was once more ready to start for San Francisco.

Then a thin column of smoke was seen issuing from the corner of th* hatch. The news was at once sent to the Cay tain, who ordered that the hatches be taken off and an investigv tion made. A* soon as the hatch was lifted dense cloud* of black smoke poured out and drove tne crew back from the hatchway. The hatch wa* then battened down in the hope of smothering the fire. Orders were given to light the fire in tho donkey boiler.so that the steam pumps could be set to work if needed. The hatches were kept on until June -24, when they were again taken off, and dense clouds of s:noke and gas poured , out of the hold. The heat was intense, and then the terrible truth dawned on the crew that they were standing over a volcano which wa* liabl* to burst forth at any min- ute. The ship was many hundreds of miles from land . After a short consultation it ( wa* decided to take more vigorous meas- ure* to subdue the fire or at least hold it in check until San Francisco could be i.-a-hed. The after hatches were taken off and tne men went to work with a will digging down through the coal in an effort to reach the fire. As fast u the tubs could be filled they were hoisted on deck and the coal thrown over the side. Ten man took turn about in the hold, and had to be relieved every few minutes on account of the heal and smoko. Capt. Moody and Chief Officer Laurie took their turn with the rest, for they know that it was a struggle for life and they must work to win. The deeper they dug the hotter grew the hold, and after a few hour* of hard toil the men gave i', up an 1 were forced to leave the hold. At that time the coal under the hatch was too hot to be hand- le 1, and the stanchions and deck beams were hot enough to blister the hand.

The hatch- es were again battened down, and then all hands sst to work clearing away tho boats, so that should the fire break through the decks they would be ready *o leave her. Food, water, charts and compass were placed in each boat, together with one change of clothing for each man.

Then make it in such size rolls as you prefer and wrap it with parchment paper, or perhaps still >etter place it in a bag made of that ma- erial.

Partly nil the cask with the brine und place the butter in it and pour in enough more to fill package. When it is desired to get the butter ready for the market, it should be taken oir, and linsed off in sweet milk, Skirr milk if perfectly sweet will answer the purpose. Another way is to put the butter into the brine in a granular condition, and when taken out churn or rather tumble it n sweet milk, which gives it a fresh flavor. In either case the butter should be rinsed n cold clear water, or, still better, brine, after it has been rinsed or tumbled in the sweet milk. NIMKTU* nil I ION itl SHM u, the nearest port.

That isolated herds of thoroughbred cattle often develop tuberculosis in Can- ada, the United Slates and Great Britain i* nothing new. But, as a general tiling, breeders of high priced cattle have got rid of their stocks thus affected, kept cloie mouths, and retained a clean bill of health amongst their herd*. Then tuberculosis is a very insidious disease, and until recently there has been no way of determining with even approximate certainty, whether, in its sarly stages, an animal wa* 01 wa* not afflicted with this malady, and as a con- sequence many perfectly healthy animals have been unnecessarily slaughtered in a heroic attempt to stainu out the disease. And, on the other hand, animal* might be fatally affected, and show whilst living but few symptoms. This, however, can be obviated, as the new agent, tuber- culin, which is now being used by Professor Saunders, Director of Experimental Farms for the Dominion, acts with almost unei- ring accuracy as a detective of tuberculosis. It may be explained that tuberculin is n modified form of the Koch lymph. Prof. Saunders is to be commended for be- ing so prompt in applying this ad- vanced scientific test to ihe Ex- perimental Form herds, and it would be well tha'. other breeders where there were any suspects should apply the tuber culin test. We find that several prominent breeders iu the I'nited Slates are using the tuberculin test. Hoard's Dairyman says Mr. F. A. Converse's fine herd of Ayrshire at Woodvillc, N. V*., has lately been reduced seven in number by an Albany expert who came up and tested them with tuberculin. Seven werj slaughtered and post morloms held, resulting in '.he finding of six more or less diseased with the malady. One, s heifer, wa* sound, although her tempera ture increased after innoculation two de- grees. Mr. Converse had the suspected cow* quarantined last spring, hut official test and slaughter did not take place until quite recently, a* he did not want to have the animals killed until very satisfactory evidence wa* at hand, showing them to lie diseased. It does not follow that because tuberculosis exists in the herds of a York State breeder, this disease is common a formidable array of statistical evidence, the question, " How Distrust Stops Trade." He points out that the object of all trade is to provide food, fuel, clothing and (belter for the members of a community. "The final cost of the support of each member of the community is Ins own proportion of the consumption of these products ; n more, no less," he cays. "All that each one gets, rich or poor, is his Iward aud clothing. Consumption is the end of th* whole effort, whether it takes the form of what is called fixed capital in which form it is consumed slowly or some- thing else for immediate use which is consumed quickly." Reckoning on this basis, he calculates l.iat in the United States the average production is about $200 a head per annum, or ftUM) for each working man or woman upon whom two other* de- pend. Figuring this out with a patience that is Mr Atkinson's own. and calculating an average of three transaction* of bargain and sale to each article he arrives at t he conclusion that the agg-egate yearly trade of tho people of the U tiled States totals $.'(7,'J:tO,(KH,,000. These figures will he found iu the official returns, ami are quoted here simply to explain U.elineof Mr. Atkin- son's argument, and show at what a figure one "f the most conservative calculator* es- timates the internal, unrecorded trade of a country. This immense trade, be claims, s necessary that every man, womau aud child in the Union may be provided with ood, fuel, clothing and s. elter : and if it be interfered with in anv way-say, by the ntrusion of mutual distr ist the total will promptly fall off, and the poorer would be teprived of their usual sti] ily of necnssarier. Pho quantity of money in actual circulation bears an infinitesimal rola*. on to the enor- mous bulk ot actual Tade no matter whether Mr. Atkinson's figures are perfect- y reliabl* or not. The g-eat mas* of busi- ness is dons without mom . 3ut the mo- nent men cease to have confidence in the money by which all trade : measured, ths wheels of commerce are ch. ,-^ed. A* Mr. Atkinson says : The quaiMy of mone> ivon no* re circulation wo i'r. not suffice or a (ingle month's transact.. :is, hardly for , single week, if money were required iu very purchase and sale. The work of rade is done mainly on credit because men rust each other as they nave a right to. The trust reposed in and deserved by the many makes the opportunity fcr the fraud of the few." Ths credit which each man can extend to his neighbor depends not only upon the quality of the man, tut also upon the quality of the money which is to be paid and which i* to be re- ceived. When adonblexisUa.iout thequal- ty of the money trade stops. Credit cannot ! given even to those who arc entitled to it when the credit of the money itself is doubtful. That is whataffecls trade now. Thequalityof the money which is lawful in the United States is doubted. Why? Money that is doubted is bad money. It is not fit to lie used. The moment distrust of so necessary a condition of trade as money inters, the modern busi- ness machine labors painfully. Under primitive conditions, as the Montreal Star puts it, a man can trade a sheep for an amount of grain without the intervention of either trust or money ; but modem trade has assisted itself with so many artificial board. A great part of it waa badly char- I by tho pampered re,! by the tire. As soon a* the hatches breeder*. could be closed the pumps were started again, and the dense volume* of steam and .moke which poured out of the ventilators showed that the tiro was rapidly gaining headway. The pitch was boiling in her amongst the thoroughbred herds of the United States, or eveu in the State of New York, or that the disease is anyway in an epidemic form through that country. Thi same applies to C'anada. There is no *e quence between the isolated herd at the Kx perimental Farm and the common herds o stocks of shipping cattle through Ontario and Canada. It is a well known fact that the finer bred you have any dometic animal and especially cattle, the more striking is tho diathesis, or predisposition to disease In England especially, some of the highest brad herds and Hocks are 'lardly ever free from some of the many diseases, or some hereditary taint.. So the common livestock a country should not always b judge< herds of high-class leek*, and a thermometer held against the miwenniast registered I.V> degrees. A ship was sighted far to leeward and the signal of distress was hoisted, but she paesed on and made no sign that the signal was seen. Another vessel was seen, but, like the first, she took no notice of the distress signal and held htr course. Sun. lay, July IG, is a day not likely to be fo rgotten by any man on board the Cedar- bank. At l,;to o'.-louk in the morning a terrific explosion occurred which seemed to fairly lift the big ship out of the water. The pent-up gases in the hold of the ship proved loo much for the hatches, and with a roar that could have been heard a mile away No '2 hatch was blown off, and the next instant a volume of flame shot into the air as huh as the maintopsail yard. The frightened crew made a rush for the l>oat* and began to lower them into the water, thinking 'He ship was about to be founder. The first boat had hardly struck the water when a second explosion occurred, and once more ths lurid flames shot high into the sir, setting fire to the lower rigging and some of the sails. Not a man of the craw believed at that time that the Cedar bank would ever reach San Fransisco, but Capt. Moody and Chief Officer Laurie did not give up the fight, and calling on the nieu to follow them they rush- ed forward and again battened down the hatches. It wss then seen tlmt the hold was a srelhing insss of flames, and even i ',11. i. Moody believed that the end was not far off. By midday the larpauline were on fire, and while the crew poured water on them new tarpaulins were drugged from the sailroom aud spread over the hatches. The Ill-Main and benn.ini It is stated in European d'spatche* that the attitude of Knglan 1 towards continent* diplomacy has been changed materially by the Franco-Siamese affair and the details of its settlement, and that an offer from Get many looking toward an alliance would not meet with the refusal that greeted Bis marck's tender fifteen years ago. It is also surmised that during the German Kmper or's recent visit to Cowes this matter discussed, and that as an offset to it an effort has been made to withdraw Italy from the triple alliance snd join its forces to those of Russia. How much of truth there is in sll this diplomatic gossip of course it is impossible to conjecture. The only conditions that can be stated with ertamty are that during the settlement of the Siam affair England and Franca were dangerously near a rupture and that if Kngland and Germany were to form an al- liance it forever would dispel France's hopes of rcvonge upon Gnrmany. From this point of view such a consummation is de- voutly to be wished, as it would mean peace, and Franco would have to postpone indefinitely the carrying out of it* resent- ment. The teitudo navalis, or ship worm, hits caused the loss of more vessels than were ever destroyed in war. In tropical coun- tries this worm penetrates the timber of vessels and eats away tho wood until there is only a shell left, which will crumble at a slight blow.

Other things, such a* had tariff*, high freiht ra'e* and the like, may be hindrances ; but a suspicion at to the en- during equity o! the common measure of value, is a corrosive force. To quote Mr. Atkinson again : " The man who tampers with his scale is a knave ; the man who uses a light weight is a thief ; the man who gives false measure is a criminal. What word shall we us* to designate the man who makes a bad dollar or a legislator who passes an set to force people to take it?' Thi* i* the secret of t he distrust t hat has ris- en from the coinage difficulty across the bor- dcr-a lack of faith iu money as a constant measure. Underlies coinage of silver at a price far above the market value of bullion, a dollar is not always certain to mean the same thing ; and this uncertainty is as ominous- ly present when the Covernnient is loading up ils vaults with silver bullion, bought on a declining market, which every one fears will some day be heard from :iain disas- trously. Business men make close calcula- tion* a* their probable profits before they launch upon an enterprise, and they are decidedly averse to trusting to these esti- mates if they are likely to Its jostled out of all calculation by a feverish dollar measure. Mr. Atkinson does not believe that theee advocates of " bad money" are true hi- metallists. " These men are not bi-metal- li*U," he say*. "The bi-mctallist* scout them. They are either ignorant person* who do not know what bi-metalli*m is, or else they are special advocates of the so- called silver interests, who are ready to defraud the working-people of this country for their own personal profit." The first duty of tho American Government would seem to be to restore confidence in the basis of business, and then tho "ba*i" will pro- vide itself. _^_ Blood Poisoning lr-.
