Strain of this place wrote to the Agricultural Colie<;e, Uuelph. making iiiiiuiries as to whether rusted straw was iujurioas when fed to aniftaU. The re- ply which ht received was to the effect that no injury had ever been observed from that cau^e. As there is a large quantity of rusted straw in this district it will be a sonrce of satisfaction for farm- ers to learn the above. Wu are infornivd that cattle will eat rusted straw with nion»EcIi!th than olran, there apparej^tly being a s:tline taste to it which suits their pallets.

We were much pleased t« bav« a cbst with Mr. G. Mr. W. Baruhouse returned on Thurs- diy laat after an extremely enjoyable visit to the pUce of hia birth in Devon.ihire, old England.

Meteor, were coutestauU along wiih others. A 10<)- guinea cup was the prize and it was won by the Ailsa, over a 50 mile course. Mr. Baruhouse says Clo/elly is the meet pio- taresque spot he ever saw, being built on the face of the rocks with naly one street epwards and that built in steps, the buildings being erected on terracea one above the other. Donkeys with panniers do all the carrying. Horses do not flour- ish there, neither ia it considered good bicycling.

A woman will broil a steak sad see that the coffee does not b<jil over, and watch the cat that she does not steal the remnant of the meat on thekitchoBtabla, and dress the youngest boy, and set the table, aod see to the toast, and stir the oatmeal, and give the order to the butch- er, and she can do it all at once and not halfry. Man has done wonders since he came before the public. He haa navi- gated the ocean, he has penetrated the mysteries of the starry heavens, he has harnessed the lightning and made ic pull street cars and light the great cities of the world. But he can't find a spool of red thread in his wifo'« work basket ; he can't discover her pocket in a drsss hanging in the closet, he cannot haag out clothes and get them on the line right endup. He cannot hold clothes pins in his mouth while he is doin^ it either. He cannot be polite tosomebody he hates. He cannot sit in a rockiogchair without banging the rockers into the baseboards. He can't put the tidy on the sofa pillow right side out. He cannot sew on a button. In short, he cannot d* a hundred things that women do almost tinotiviv'y. ^kose Qoods We want to sell them to you.
