George Kennan, the Siberian traveller, said that he found this magazine in homes on the steppes of Siberia, while Peary met with it in Greenland.

Fresh Fun. Faritmg : Atb the annual meeting of the Provincial Fairs Association held recently in Toronto it was almost the unanimous opinion of the delegates present that the local Towoship Fair should be done away with. Nodefinite scheme was evolved in regard to this manner with the exception that a numâ€" ber of the local fairs unite to form one good show in each district. This is along the right line, and as we have pointed out several times befora in these pages every interest would be better served if the moneys now exâ€" pended on towrship fairs were put into one good sbow in each county. There would then be greater induceâ€" ments for farmers to make exbhibits, a betterâ€"class of exhibits for visitors to see, and the educational value of one good district show would be one hunâ€" dred per cent. greater than that a dczon small township fairs. Canada was at one time aboat twice as large as it is now. In 1782 3, when Great Britain was negotiating a peace with the revolting American colonies, she was represented by a Mr. Oswald, who appears to have been very generous. He agrecd unnecessarily to give up all of what is now Ontario, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin. He was a most generous man, and would have given up all Canada if ha had been asked. In later negotiabions, through the efforts of another gentle: man named. Strachey, arrangements were made to keep Ontario, but the British were bluffed out of a territory which now contains more peoplé than the territory that was kept. This whole story was told. by Thomas Hodgins, Q. C., in the March Canadian Magazine, aes $ This was shaken a few times, then apread in a safe place to dry. _A part of this poisoned wheat was mixed with good wheat and spread upon the eleâ€" vated table. In a few minutes the sparrows began to fall in spasms. Withio two hours 75 were picked up and the next morning enough more to make more than 100. After a few days the above process was repeated, when more sparrows were collected and buried. Most of them fell under the hedge, a few were picked up near the pigâ€"pen, and others were found dead half a mile away. No injury was discovered to result from animals eatâ€" ing these fat sparrows. One batch of poisoned wheat had but little effect ; probably too little strychnine was used. To avoid killing other birds the poisonâ€" ing should be done in the winter and close to dwellings, where other birds are not apt to come. E. Hicks, Long Island, in Country Gentleman. The township fair no doubt served agood purpose when first organized, as 1t helped to stimulate the breeding of better stock among the local farmers, Bubt in the meantime facilitics for travel bave improved, the larger fairs have developed and are visited by nearâ€" ly every farmer in the country. At a large fair the farmer not only sees stock and products from his own localâ€" ity on exhibition, but he sees exhibits from other sections far removed from bis own and to this extent he is a broader man and bas a wider knowledge of his business. The only good reason advanced for not amalgamating the township fairs into county or district fairs seems to be that they afford an opportunity to the farmer to make exâ€" hibits, who might be timid about exâ€" hibiting at the larger fairs because of greater competition, This in itself does not appear to be a sufficient reason for the continuation of the local townsbip fair, which means the expenditure of a larger amount of money for the benefit of ccmparatively few people. Theeduâ€" cational value of a towrship fair is not as great as many would make out, and comparatively speaking it is not nearly so great as a good county or district show. This was at the beginning of the winter, and after some study on the subject, I devised the following plan to rid ourselves of the nuisance, as well as to stop the pilfering from our poultry of a quart of feed daily. A rough and cheap frame was constructed 8 feet high, close to the arborâ€"vitae hedge. on this frame an old door was placed, with a cleat around it to prevent the wind from blowing off the poisoned grain. _A few bandfuls of wheat was placed on this table. They were shy for a few days but when snow covered the ground they soon cleared the table of a pint or more every day. I took one quarter of an ounce of strychnine, placed it in a quart bottle with two tablespoonfuls of alcohol andZas much water, and poured in as much wheat. Pile Terrors Swept Away,.

A flock of over two hundred sparâ€" rows flitting between the buildings and roosting much of the time in a bigh arborâ€"vitae hedge near the dwelling, made their constant twitterings and chatterings very annoyingâ€"in fact, exâ€" asperating. In many instances stock breeders who take prizes at the larger shows exâ€" hibit their stock at the local shows in their own locality and carry off the honors, which, according to some people‘s reasoning, should go to the farmer who does not exhibit at the larger fairs. Thus it is that if the townâ€" ship fairs were amalgamated into county or district fairs the farmer who does not make a business of exhibiting at the larger fairs worl! stand about as good a chance of v uning prizes as he does now at the local show.

What was a substantial party in the last House bas dwindled to one member, and he was opposed by the Government, and was elected chicfly because of his Conâ€" servative record. _ The passing of this promising party is but another eviâ€" dence of the futility of independent partics,._ _ The true Independent is he who, while a member of the party of bis choice, refuses to be bound by unâ€" patriotic aad improper actions, and endeavours, as an integral portion of his party, to ho‘d it to what is true and right. The old parties live chicfly because they are not sectional. Ai|l kinds and sonditions of men join in the work of promoting the party inâ€" terest. Associated in this way, much good may be accomplished by sincere and earnest men. But just as soon as they seperate into sections for the proâ€" motion of selfish ends, or for the purâ€" pose of arbitrarily controlling the acâ€" tions of their fe‘lows, or depriv ing them of common tights or privilegs, they become impotent in the political ficld or their potency is turned to evil account. It would not be good for this Province to bave a farmer‘s party in zontrol of the Legislature, any more than it would be to have an ultraâ€" Catholic party in pcessesion. It ought to be a matter for gratification to the best elements of both parties that the political stage has been cleared of Patron lumberâ€"which, after all, was Grit or Tory when the division bell rang.

In this way the rumor was evolved that there was an understandâ€" ing between Mr. Whitney and Mr. Evanturel. He did not blame them for making what capital they could out of his election by acclamation, although it was scarcely fair to treat his name so lightly as was being done. He felt sure that his Frenchâ€"Canaâ€" dian friends in the province of Ontario had stood by Mr. Hardy. Referring to the rumor that he was to be called to the cabinet by Mr. Whitney in the event of that gentleman‘s election, Mr. Evanture! said he bad been annoyed by the publication of the rumor, and hai set himself to find out its origin. He learned that a young Montreal ad: vocate, who had been campaigning in Eastern Oatario, and presumed upon the fact that Mr. Evanturel was not opposed in Prescott, and had sought to impose upon the electors by letting it be thought that it was be cause of the good will of Mr. Whitney that no opposition was made to the speaker‘s re election.

To no one in the community is the news more welcome than the tiller of the so:l, For many years the farmer has strugg‘led to make ends meet, and in many cases his struggle bas been a failure.
