What is the value of ali our protestations of fellowship with the colonies if we treat them as cur Cinderellas, and fli them. the rags of neglect in the back kitchen of our high estate? The Academicians can ill afford to patronize the colonial breed ; nay, it were no bad thing for the Academy to learp from them. Were there a colonial room at every summer show, it might brace up the sluggish energies of that august body more than a little. ' Both Archibald Browne and Homer Watson are tried and tested artists who have established . reputations, though 'tis likely enough. that the Royal Academy has never 'heard ol them.

Prout, a Cornish - (srmer, went back after ten yeprs' farming in Ontario. He bought Blount's Farm in 1861, paying $175 én acre for it.' The soil was in such a bad state that even donkeys could find no food on it. Prout broke up forty flelds and made of them fen square fields, each of' about 46 acres, and thoroughly drain- ed them. It was an ondinpey clay soil | of similar character to usands acres in England, but lime and potash.! were in abundance. ! Prout decided tq simplify his farm- | ing operations. e discarded the British rotation of crops plan, kept! hardly aby stock, and grew wheat, barley, sid oats year by yeaf, with only & crop of clover once in eight years or a bare fallow once in seven years, to relieve the grain crops. Every now and then the soil was test- ed and evary timé the report was re- turned: "No deterioration, no lack of fertility, improvement in physical con- dition." Artificia] manuring was ap- plied, chiefly phosphate and ammonia. Binde 1680 ré00 of the yield have been kept, showing this farm yielding 38 bushels per acre, while the German average ig 26, United States 131-2, Ar. tine 18, India 12, Australia 9, and ia 8.

'Look where you will in the Empire," says he, "you will find few places to best old England for the right conditions for wheat growing." He concludes by showing that Blount's Farm for 25 years has | made a profit of over $75 an acre, and | 80 forward have the crops been that | they have been sold before English | farmets Sefwerally have begun to reap.

Imagine the Court of France listening to these enthusiastic "words: "Magnificent forests, purest air, beau. | tiful and fraitiul hills." In 1726 the fort was rebuilt by stratagem, the In- dians who were opposed to. this being engaged in a hunting expedition, only | returning to find the walls were high enough for defence. It is described | soon after as' having ravines, ditches, countersearp, drawbridge, chapel with | ancient dial, the whole covering a! space of eight acres. During the sev- en years' war, 1756-1763, the fort was | vigorously attacked by the British un. | der Prideaux and Johnson, and as vig- | orously defended by Ponchot, who! summoned to his assistance French | and Indians. from the west, the river at Navy Island beinz black with boats. Prideaux meanwhile was killed and Sir William Johnson carried on the siege - successfully, and Ponchot's force marched out, laying down théir arms July 25, 1759. The stores found in the fort were immense. Prideaux and. Cel. Johnson were buried in the chapel with great form, according to the diary of Sir William, who was the | chief mourner. Much discussion hss arisen as to whether their bodies were left there when the chapel was taken | down or removed to the military | graveyard: At all events something should be done to commemorate the names of two officers who gave their lives for Britain's glory. It is re- markable that, while so much is said of the conquest of Quebee by Wolfe, so little is made of the éapture of fort which it had been said was the key to the continent and for the pos. | session of which statesmen had disput. | ed and sqldiers had fought. : Gen. Lee on August 9, 1759, gives a glowing - description: 'The situation of this place is certainly magnificent, Had I a thousand tongues I might, attempt to $deseribe it, but -withiout | them it certainly beggars all descrip- tion.

Here were brought stores of. food, arti- cles for exchange with Indians in the west, sent afterwards by portage around the same way. And the next picture is that of the tragedy of Bloody Run, when soldiers of Fort Niagara, in 1763, hearing the firing when an ambush of Indians had' killed and sealped an escort of twenty-five men, two only estaping, went to the rescus and shared the same fate, the Senecas bearing away eighty scalps, and when YThe worst case of mixed metaphor known," said a teacher of English at the Ubiversity of Pennsylvania, 'was of Bir Ellis Ashmead Bart lett.
