râ€"Wâ€"Wwv vâ€"w‘...__ _ THE i The Gradual Exhaustion of Soils. .‘Jo country wu ever blessed by natur- with more pruluctive soil. She made the best posflhw use of the long ages nor tethe set tlement of this. country by w inferring the met luxuriant growth of vegshtien and by its decay and tth of the annual crop of foliage, had filled the so i w t no menu of feméfty that seemed exhaustion. 34 thought our fathers, and so think many of the occupiers of the great fertile West. But a continual taking out and putting nothing back would exhaust even the scan. It bu exhausted the millions of acres of the older East, and it will exhaust the most fertile fields of the West. A study of the census must convince any searcher that the produc tlons if all our crops is year by year grow- ing has an’i lei. It cannctbe attributed to a chALge of seasons for a series of years, but can he only no one causeâ€"the gradual ex- haustion of plant food by our unthinking and unwise course. This subject of husbandry the rem‘rcel oi our acres, and of returning to our starving fields those elements of plant growth 901“ or nearly exhausted, is yearly forcing itself more prominently upon the attention of the farmers of at least the eastern half of our country, and the line is very rspidlyex- tending westward. Millions of acres that once produced magnificent crops of the v'arlous grains, even westof the great lakes, are now lying vacant, or barel paying for the most shiftless cultivation. isquestion cannot be seriously ccnsldersdtoo soon, even by the farmers on the now rich and produc- tive prairies west of the great rivers. Every train that passes eastward is loaded with a portion of their fertility, much of it in the crude and barely rcmunerstive state of bran. oil meal, and tnc coarser grains, and, to the shame of the farmers, even in the bones of their animals, while the returning trains cw rack nothing in the nature of plant f . Though Western farmers may think they have no need ofpsuchknowledge, they should not fall to thoroughly post themselves, anvlthose farmers who do so and who take advantage of this knowledge, will, by and by, be looked upon as the “lucky ones“ who have the richest farms in the vicinity in which they live. Rural New 'or/zr. Notes. Every animal on the farm should be test. odflwhcther cattle, sheep, swine, or horses. The ordinary cow should have her merits kuowu to the dairyman, and he should fam- iliarize himself with her qualification, not only as a milker, but as to the kind and quality of food best adapted for her pur- poses, and the most profitable. A cow may give only twenty pounds of milk a day, and yet be nnlexcellent animal if she can produce that amount at a low cost, while another cow in the same herdmay yield thirty pounds per (la , and yet prove unprofitable compar- ed wit the other. A fall planted tree has this great advan- tage, that the heavy rains have a tendency to carry the earth in and around the roots, while the low temperature following is un- favorable to any excessive evaporations from the branches. The only enemy to be feared is excessively cold and drying winds. In spring planting we not only have the diffi- culty of packing the earth well in among the roots, but have the possibility of heat and drought immediately following. Aside from these theoretical ressonings, the ex- perience of the last few seasons has been favorable to the success of fall planting. An early suit can be done in the fall the better. A peculiar kind of hard times has come upon the farmers and people of this country. I you inquire what product is so shortas to cause distress, the answer will be that it is not scarcity of anything that causes the hard timesâ€"there is too much wheat. too much corn, too much grain of all kinds, too much hay, too much beef, pork, sugar: too much wool, c -tton, iron, steel; too much of ever thing. We are in distress of too much, ornc down with the sad burden of superabundancc. .We are uncertain what advice to giveâ€"even money is too plenty, and often can’t be loaned sta low interest We can't think of any better advice than to dry up our tears, put on a cheerful look, and go to work vigorously with a full up tits, and cut our .» \v through this abuu ance, and trust to in.» for success. We observe that mine writers on vege- table gardening specs of the difficulty t l kcoplng succulent vegetables, like beets, tur- nips and parsni , from wilting when plus- ed in Collars, ansa recommord packing them in mud, or buryin them in l.hn earth of the collar bottom. 'lhis mode is necessarily cumbcrscme and inconvenient. An easier and mare perfect way is to pack them in damp sawdust, placed in barrels of moderate size, or in boxes of not more than two feet in width. Place a layer of sawdust in the bottom, then a layer of the roots, then fill in all the interstices with another layer, and so on till the hox'ls full, leavin no crevices. We have taken beats out of sun boxes after remaining in them a full year. so fresh in appearance that no external difference could be seen between them and fresh roots. Nurserymcu‘s moss is neuter than sawdust where it can be had, and serves an excellent lpurpose for packing winter cabbage in large oxes. More Humane Treatment of Horses. Machinery is doing a vast amount cila- bor for man, but horses are not dispensed with. or the contrary their number is in- creasing in this country every year. Not only so, but their quality is improving, both for carriage and heavy work. No creature is so valuable a servant to man. iiels often ill treated, not so much from intention as from ignorance of what is right. Don't build the manger so high as to make it un- natural, and therefore 'ful, for the horse to eat from it. ltemem r a horse is a gras ing animal, constructed to take food from the ground. When the head is down near to the surface of the earth, the swallowing mosaics are in a position to do their work ; but when the head is raised four or five feet iiing the muscles are restricted in their action. What is supposed to be gahred b high manger: in the development of high neck and shoulders is more than lost in the depressvi back or "saddle back" of the horse in consequence of the unnatural elevation of the head. The bottom of the feed~bcx and manger should not be above the home’s kuu-s, or. what is better, never more than one foot from the floor. The rshould to two feet dee . measuring from the top, and about two set four inches wide at the top. hlskc the feed-box at the bottom of mangrr, Some claim that the floor of the Itail should be level instead of descending from the manger toward the rear, and use more and better absorbent; In so d you not only save the most valuable part of the fertilizing of the horse, but you remove the strain of standln with his bind fest lower than the for ones. When at rest in the turn the horse chooses to stand with forward fest lower than his hind lost; this he does to throw the centre of gravity nearer the fore legs and shoulders, y which the projecting neck is balanced by the rear portion of the body.

These parasites an difficult to ram" from horsea when once upon them. Don‘t work a horse all day upon the farm, and at night turn him outta pick up a acuity supper when he should be resting in the stable after eating.

CHLLIKS' “ Beautiful as Zion for situation, lying jewel-like within the bosom of a lovely val- !ey where every of Nature’s beauty, in rock and river, field and forest, mead and mountain, whirlpool and waterfall, she may be surveyed at one broad sweep of entranced vision; w the noblest pile of pubh: buildings in the colony upon her fir clad brow; fringed all about with mingled man- sion, villa, lawn and grove, and holding the rival falls of thunderous Chandlers and tawney Ridsau in either hand." Thus does sir. James Maedcnsld Orley pourtray O:- tawa. “An arctic lumber Vill‘l e turned into a pclitial cockpit." Such is . Gold- win Smith’s description of the same city. As these two gentlemen do not exactly as in theireetimata, Ihsve given both t sir versions; the h I must not get myself into hot water y saying which [deem to be the most accurate. But Mr. Oxley can- not make this city more proud. any more than M r. Smith can make it more humble ; so that regardl of the dis ement or the rsiselt falls to my lot to give it very brie and ambitious sketch of the past and present of the Capital, according to my own understanding. A little while after the beginnvbég of the resent century one Phil- emon ht, o Woburu, Massachusetts, left his as ve place and proceeded to Mon- treal. From this point, with a caravan of five families, inclu ' thirty men, fourteen horses, eight oxen an seven sleighs, loaded deep with mill irons, axes, scythes, boesand all other kinds of tools, together with a number of canvas or cum PORK of his own raising, heproceeded to the Chau- diere Falls, where be erected for himself an habitation. He built the village of Wright- ville, now Hull, one of the darkest looking cities in the world, in spite of all the latent illumination stored up in its factories. Hullis directly opposite Ottawa, and for a trifling sum the land upon which the city stands fell into the hands of one Nicholas Sparks, a per- son in the service of Mr. Wright. There was considerable nervousness for many years after the war of 1812 15, and this feeling led to the construction of the liideau Canal, s. water route which would serve our people or our troops, in time of war, to come and go upon, without interruption. The junc- tion of this canal with the Ottawa river was made precisely atthe point whereMr. Sparks had purchased the land. In a little while the nucleus of a settlement made its appear- ance, and then with the growth of the can- al traffic, there uprose a thriving place call- ed Bytown, so named after Colonel By, the engineer of the canal. As for Mr. Sparks, he soon found himself busy selling lots to the Imperial Government and to enterprising settlers, till he became the master of a cool half a milliOn sterling. In 1851 Bytown boasted of no fewer than 8000 inhabitants ; and the great bulk of these were concerned, either directly or indirectly, with the lumber traffic. To this part of Canada seemed to come from all quarters men of the sturdieat ante rise, as wiruess the names of the Skea s, the Eddys, the Moors, the Giimours, tho Perlys, the Patteys, the Hamiltous, the Wrights, and the many others hardly less ADVENTUBFSOME AND SUCCESSFUL in achievements. The new city now began to growdissatisfied withher name,andionged for one with more poetry and more music in its sound. 80 Bytown Was changed to Ottawa, which appellation had taken the place of the Utwu of the Indian. It would seem as if some guiding hand were preparing this little northern town for the laurels soon to be placed upon her brow. In 1841 the old provinces of Upper andLowerCanada enter~ ed into union, and the seat of the new Gov- ernment was established at Kingston. But three years later it was decided that parlia- ment should go “ boarding round the dees- trict," so to speak ; in other words, it was resolved that the seat of government should go four years to the French province, and for a like period to the English one, alternately. Montreal was given the honors for Quebec, and Toronto held them for Ontario. But in 1849 aTory mob in Montreal did itself the credit of burning dovm the parliament build- ings, stoning thoGwernor-(leneral and pok- ing sticks through a portrait of the Queen. The representatives never returned to the riotous city, but chose Quebec in its stead. In 1858 the legislature had grownslck of the continuous cking, moving, and unpacking; and decide to ask Her Majesty to become arbitrator in the matter, and us noa city for .m. p rmanont residence of parliament. The Queen took a map of the wild colonies, and called one or two of her trusty councillors to her side. The Duke of Wellington put his pointer upon a little black dot marked “ Bytowu,” and said, “ That is a suitable lace, Your Majesty. It stands on the rder of both provinces, and it is a place of little importance in the Eu lish province." iior Majesty accepted the vice, and signi- fied her choice to tlm Canadian government. Not a little excitenientwasmanifested when it became known that the place chosen for the Capital was ” a certain modest village-town, perched meekly on hi h bluffs and interven- ing valleys between t e spray and rear of headlong waterfalls." This decision at once brought the " arctic lumber village" into prommeucc ; ands gentleman with a very bitter and therefore somewhat unreliable tongue, in later years, when referring to its selection said, “ It was to become the cem- etery of political morality for this country." Of course the city has never considered that it received any honor in being chosen ; but quite the contrary. its very lnslgnifioanoe was its passport to distinction. As Mr. Ox- ley has happily said, it was the “ dark horse" in the contest for the capltalship. Clever writers may sharpentheir wits as they may to say disparagin things of our little capital ; they car-not a ter the facts. In the best sense, God made Ottawa, and neither the hostile critic nor the occasional lltical villain enacted here, can blot out t e gran- deur 0 its rushing rivers, and of its thunder- ous waterfalls. The population of Ottawa is now about 33,000, and comprises some 15,000 French, war Town is pretty much in their hands, and may be regarded as promoting fair types of their civilisation.

Some of them cm read and write in the Cree tharacters, having learned them, some down at J ones 1 Bay and others at Moose Factory. They ' live widely scattered, each family having its own hunting ground, except during a few months of the summer, when they gather at the posts. They are well provided with clothing obtained from the trading floats in _exchange for furs; and have lenty of V food, as the lakes abound with sh, such ' as white fish, pike, salmon trout, pickerel, sturgeon, etc., of which they catch their winter supply just before the waters freeze up. They are very friendly to the whites. Conversing with some of them through an interpreter, Mr. Fuwcett learned that though they had often heard of money, they had never seen any; and that they had also never seen a horse or a cow. About the end of August or early in September they get advance of supplies from the H. B. 0., when they start out to hunt, and when they re- turn they pay their debts with the furs they have tiken. Lake St. Joseph, Mr. Fawoett describes as about 75 miles long, while Lake Sails is something over 100 miles in length.
