(3-‘L' ._.._._..___.__ 0‘ THE FARM.‘ ~. Creamerles. How many discouraged farmers there are in this country to-day, and the cause of it may be attributed in partto the general dullness of the country, but largely to the revolution which has taken place in the realm of farming within a few yesrs, writes a correspondent. The genius of invention has come and opened to the farmer a new world. Look back a quarter ofa century over the maryels that have come from ob- servation, experience, and intelligence, and all of them devised for the benefit of the farmer; the improved subsoil plow, con- centric harrow, sec i-drill, mowers, reapers. harvesters and threshers. All these are not, as some have counted them, invasions which will one day destroy the farmer’s occupation, but rather have proved to be the neednt facilities to enlarge the farmer’s possibilities and to keep him in pace with the rapid progress in th; other walks of life. Just now there is rising into notice the last and greatest benefactor to the farmer. the creamery. For along time the major- ity looked upon it as an ominous invasion of that inner realm which the farmer has always guarded with jealous care ; the shrine which brings forth the “golden egg ;" the rewarding product of his toil. Many denounced it as the enemy that would eventually “kill the goose." Though re. luctantly, the farmer is coming to see in this masterpiece of invention in the dairy- ing world great blessings to himself by its promotion of all his interests. Let us look reasonably at the points of benefit every farmer will enjoy because of the creainery,provided he will avail himsel f of them. For convenience sake, let us 100 k across the lines, at the State of Vermont, which has the largest creamery in the world, located at St.Albans. The institution has fifty-nine branches and last year handled the product of fifteen thousand cows, and during the summer distributed over seven ty thousand dollars a month to its patrons. In the past three years it has sent over five and one-half million pounds of butter into the markets of theworld. N ow an institution of such magnitude must mean great benefit or injury to the dairying interests. Though at once the individual farmer may not see how such an institution can be of benefit to him, he will see it after thought and experience. In the first place, it affords him free an expert test of the milk-producing quality of each cow, by which he may improve his dairy by choice selection. It furnishes to him an analy- sis of the best milk-producing grains, pasturage and fodder ; thereby he is in- formed as to what to sow and plant. When one considers that each dairy is awarded ascording to its cream test, it is plainly seen how essential such information is. It relieves the farmer of all the care of the dairyhouse and the expense of time, labor and repair contingent upon butter-making facilities ; moreover the great influence and reputation of the institution is behind the individual farmer, pushing him to the front with the other great business movements of the world. But best of all, it grants liberty to the farmer in the realm in which he lives, movos and has his being. All the time he has heretofore spent in the endless duties of preparing the product of his dairy for the'market and in finding a market for the product, is saved to him. Now with his mind free from anxiety of the churning- room and market-place, he turns to those interests of his farm which before have had little or none of his attention and have suffered seriously from the careless indiffer- ence of the hard laborer. Now he can study the nature of his lands and know what portions of his farm he can new and plant to the best advantage, that it may yield him the richest returns for his labor. He has time now to read. Time and in. telligence are the demands of the age. Invention brings both into every depart- ment of life. to read and study all the details of his farm, the soil, its elements, the rocks, their stratification, climatic effects, the nature of grains, grasses, herbs and trees ; and the nature of horses, cattle, sheep, swine and dogsâ€"yes, even catsathere will come in- telligence, and with intelligence success, and with success riches. If the eye of any farmer who feels that the future holds naught in store for his interest, falls upon these lines with sufficio cut interest to read‘ them through, let me say, never were there days of grander pos- sibilities for the farmer than those of now. Chirk upa bit. Remember the chief ob- ject of life is the pursuit of happiness. Do not bury your gaze too much in the dust of the corn-hill. Look out across the smil- ing face of God into the intertissued glories of the sunset and up at the stars. ead every spare moment you have and let it be something useful and helpful in your noble calling. Put yourself in touch with the great movements of the times. Have a dcfinitéaim. Shoot at something tangible. Filling the air with random shot from grandfather’s blunderbuss will not bring own much game. Good, homely sense is the first consideration in the makeup of the man who is to be a wealthy farmer. Industry is a prime quality and can not be left out of account, but many farmers are kept poor by working too hard. They put work into useless places or do their work the hardest way. One closing word. Yours is the world of nature and the genius of invention is there to uplift on. not to discourage you. Walk where it ends: to the spiary: the vine. yard ; the orchard; the cool brook waters beneath the willows ; the rolling fields : the upland pastures where the droves and herds and decks feed :up to the hills covered with many kinds of wood : up to the shelving rocks full of glittering secrets ; up to God. Cow or Care. Quite a good many people have a belief that feeds. cleanliness. intelligence in com. As soon as the farmer begins . pounding rations and in feeding them, pure water, and skill exercised in the manufac. ture of butter, have more to do with it all than has the cow, since there are compara- tively worthless cows in all breeds. It is said that Jersey butter will “stand u ” i better than any other. That all depen a. _ There are Jerseys and Jerseys, and lsome of their butter will “stand up" and some will " sit down" or run away if you give it a chance. Ninety- nine of every 100 pounds of milk drawn from healthy, properly fed and cared for cows, will make butter that will “stand up and possess good body, flavor and texture” if the conductor of the train is an artist. If he is a “ daub" as many of them are, he’ll spoil it. That's about all there is of it, and the attempt to make the dairymen of this country, or the World, be- lieve that all this depends on the cow and that no other can than the Jersey can do it, will fail. l A DOMINION EXHIBITION. It Would be or Great Benefit to the Conn- ‘I'J'. and , Pro-1016 Inter-Provincial Trade. On several occasions Parliament has votedasum of $10,000 for a Dominion exhibition, and the exhibition has been held, in combination with existing exhibi- / tions, in various parts of the country. Montreal has had it ; so have Halifax, Toronto, Kingston, London, and Hamilton. The Dominion show hitherto has been an enlargement of a local enterprise. been a good exhibition ; yet not so compre- hensive or so extensive as, under more favorable circumst mess, it may become. One of the drawbacks to the complete suc~ cess of the Dominion exhibition in the past has been the fact that the directors who have had the responsibility of preparing for it have not been given sufficient time in which to advertise it both in and out of Canada. The grant as a. rule has been voted in April or Mty, and -it has been available in the following September. Five months only have therefore been allowed for the requisite publicity. “Why not make the announcement in advance of the actual vote 2” some one may ask. The answer is plain. A Government, however willing to propose a grant, cannot promise to do so until it is ready in the ordinary way to make the proposition to Parliament. It is thusimpossible to knowforacertaiuty, in advance,that there will be a grant. But the Government might propose a .. grant during the session of the year preceding that in which the exhibition is held. For example, it might ask Parliament now to vote the money for an exhibition in 1895. That it would do well to follow this course there is every reason to believe. We are endeavoring to promote INTERPROVINCIAL TRADE. and we are reaching out with a view to es- tablishing, also, an inter-colonial trade. We want to do business among our own people, no matter how distant they may be; and in addition, we are looking for commercial intercourse with all the sister colonies. Nothing could aid our projects better than 'a large exhibition in 1895â€"an exhibition announced the world over, attracting visi- torsifrom all quarters,aud showin toall com- ers specimens of the products 0 every one of our provinces. Such a show would widen our trade, and assist in finding for our producers new customers, either at home or abroad. It would stimulate industry, and pay us over and over again the moder- ate sum it would cost. If the Dominion Parliament will make a grant at the pres- ent session for a Dominion exhibition in 1895, to be held on the Toronto grounds, which are undoubtedly very suitable, in that the equipment is excellent and the sitâ€" nation central, the previuccs, following in a modest way the example of the various States at Chicago, could participate, each for itselfputtingup characteristic buildings, and organizing its exhibit. While these preparations are in progress the exhibition, which would unquestionably be one of large proportions, could be effectively ad- vertised throughout the world, as were the Melbourne and Jamaica exhibitions. See- ng that the exhibition would be so much larger than the usual annual show and that LARGE NUMBERS OF PEOPLE would be expected to visit it from all parts of Canada, the sister colonies, and the neighbouring States, it could be kept open for a month or possibly six weeks, as may hereafter be determined upon. The Do- minion grant, of course, would be used to aid in rendering the show a success. It could be devoted in part to prizes, thus swelling the prize list considerably ; and the balance could be used as a contribution towards paying the expense of sending exhibits, horses, cattle, etc., to the show. To recapitulate, if the Government will make a rant this year, a thorough Domin- ion cxhibition can be organized for 1895 on the Toronto grounds. Such an exhibition would be representative of the entire coun- try, and for the purpose for which exhibi- tions are devised, namely, the extension of trade and the communication of ideas, it Would be a splendid investment for Canada at this particular moment, when the en- largement of our commercial opportunities is regarded as important on all hands. â€"â€"-.â€"â€"â€"__ A Marine Secret.

HOW CANADA WOULD DO IT. now This Country Would Act With Law- less or Bioiiug Minersmnenems otn Well-Trained Military Organization. Various reflections are prompted by the occurrences now taking place in the min. ing districts of the United States. A law- less section of the mixed population of these districts appears to be occupied in determining how far it can go in defiance of the law. Every day bringsits despalchcs reporting the burning "of bridges, the seizing of trains, or unlawful interference with the freedom of workmen. In the making of .apeople these are certainly troublesome phases.

She sprang up to the lock, held with one claw to the iron lock box, and scrambled and pushed with the other claws on the knob until it turned and the door flew open with the cat clinging to it. Could a human being act with greater deliberation 7 M. I. Stevens, of New Brunswick, Can- ada, relates how one winter day, as he passed through his garden, a little robin flew on a twig about three feet from the ground. His cat crawled noiselessly near the shrub, but as there was about a foot of loose snow on the ground, which interfered with the cat’sjumping, she did not even attempt this summary way of despatching his birdship. Instead Kitty draw closer and closer to the shrub, and with remark- able patience kept tempting the half-frozen robin into a more favorable position She finally succeeded in causing it to perch on the snow. She missed her prey, but the strategem nevertheless deserves recognition.

The wiser the student the less he will ex- pect anything like that result to come all at once. It is only the ignorant or the gushingly thoughtless who imagine that nations can be MOUL‘DED IN A DAY, or by the legislative doings of one session of Parliament, prohibitive or otherwise. Somehow people forget in these days that grand old illustration of the leaveu leavenl ing the whole lum , in which time is a distinct factor,.an which, as applied to the history of nations, has always repre- sented a slow process. One of the questions that these distur- bances suggest is : What should we do here in such a case? One reason of the quiet peacefulness with which we go on from year to year is because it has not been our lot to be the objective point of vast and tumultuous foreign immigration. But we have some of the richest mineral treasures on the globe, and it is not inconceivable that Ontario, for instance, might be struck by what is called a boom, and that hordes of disquieting foreigners might come to work our mines. Or there are other cases in which riotous proceedings might occur, and the quiet tenor of our lives he disturb. ed. This is one of the matters in which we should benefit by the “ broadening down from precedent to precedent ” to which we are heirs. And distasteful as it is for our militia to have to interfere in internal dis- orders, the possibility of internal disorders is one of the reasons for having a well-train. ed and adequate military organization. So far as the regulations of military law, as applicable to Canada, go, the provisions are definite and precise. If a riot or distur- bance of the public peace occurred beyoni the powers of the civil authority to suppress, a written application by the chairman of the Quarter Sessions of the Peace, or by any three magistrates, would be made to the senior militia officer in the locality. Under a. penalty of $100 for officers, and $20 each for the men, they would have im- mediately to TURN OUT UNDER. ARMS.
