The Canadian Postal Department has opened an office in North Victoria County, Ontario, to be knovvn as Buller, and. the name of Upper Thorâ€" ne Centre, near Colougne, has been changed to Ladysmith, taking effect on the day of relief of Ladysmit‘h.

Tommy Atkins is Without doubt the most thorough-paced liar I ever knew. Run up against an old ('riiziean man in Canada or attend an Army and Navy Veterans’ dinner and Listen to the stories of how Inker- Lian, Alma and Balaclava were won. But it is a harmless lying. Tommy gets more kicks than halfpence in this world, and it is a blessed privâ€" ilege that he should be permitted to tell how he and his regiment turned a position or won a. victory, bayon- etLed 13 Russians, Arabs, Afridis or Boers. Another thing, a military camp is notorious for its dearth of reliable news. Tommy requires some mental food. He lives on rumors; at least he washes his rations down with copious draughts ,of rumors. And he brews them himself. He is a delightful liar. After a. severe fight, in which about 60 of the enemy were killed. I heard a soldier say that not a. living Boer was left after his regiment took the position. “About how many were killed, then?” I asked. and Tommy said about 2,000 and pointed to the blood on his bayonet as proof.

Campbell chafed in it, brooded and became morose, all of which didn‘t make things run any smoother. To put facts mildly, it was rather an unhappy household, and when the war broke out he jumped at the chance to do something big â€"â€" something that would lift him out of the petty role he occupied and make him more than the husband of Mrs. Campbell.

Tears welled in 'his eyes and the force of his emotion shook his shoulders. But again he Was himself; the feelin- had passed and he drew himself er- cot. Then once more the bandage was secured and he faced about. The sun was setting, and as the officer stepped back and gave his or- ders a fleeting shudder crossed the nat'ne's face. Bayonets were fixed. the men were ready and the rifles His prayer was granted, and as he faced about the bandage across his eyes was for a few brief minutes dropped upon his neck. In that final look he seemed to realize what he was suffering. The Stadt lay before him, the place of his childhood, the central pivot romid which his life had turned', bathed in a sunset which he had often seen before, and which he would never see again. There Were the cattle of his PTODIO, there Were the noises of “w '“v‘dt, the children’s voices, the 3;:111J1U'I‘ of the women, and there “as the smoke of his camp fires. It was all his onceâ€"â€" he lived there and he was to die there, but to die in a manner which Was strange and horrible. pay the penalty of his crime. There was a moment of intense silence as We waited for the sun to set, in which the nerVes seemed to be but little strings of wire, played upon by the emotions. Unconsciously each seemed to stiffen, waiting for the word of the officer, and feeling that at each pulsation one would like to shriek “Enough, enough!” As we stood the prisoner spoke, unconscious. of the preparations, and the OlllCer approached him. He Wanted, he said, to take’a final glance at the place that he had known since his childhood. a {cw yards distant, in fact some ten paces, the firing party formed across his front. There were six of them, with a corporal and the officer in command of the post, and there was that. other, who in a little Was to cynpafiflc: mcEc mcfzég‘ vinamfififik. Then we halted, and he was asked whether there were anything further which he wished to say, and he was warned for the last time.

Around him there was the scene of the veldt at eventide. In the distance lay the green clad veldt simmering a. russet broWn beneath the glories of the sunset. At our feet it sloped. breaking.r into rocky sluits, banked up with bushes: over all there was the zephyr, tempering the heat. It was a moment meant for rejoicing in the beauty of earth’s loveliness rather than for dimming it with the sadness of some. crimson act. Presently we arrived, and as we bent across the slope the blood- red stream of passing sunlight play- ed around the shallow heap of earth, thrown out from this man's final resting place. It was Visible, much as Were the deeper shadows of the However, he confessed, endeavorâ€" ing to minimize his offence by show- ing that at the moment of his capâ€" ture he had gathered no information; yet his pleas were futile, and he at last seemed to understand that his doom was sealed. From then, as he returned to the prison to Wait the execution of his sentence, he said nothing more. , The spy was a. young man, says the correspondent, and a native of the Stadt, which is a. portion of Ma- feking, and one who had accepted the work of carrying information to the enemy because he did not suffiâ€" ciently realize the punishment which would fall upon him were he to be captured. His instructions from the Boers had been remarkably explicit, and the sphere of his activities emâ€" braced our entire position. He was to visit the forts, counting the num- ber of men, and to take special no- tice of those to which guns had been attached. He was to report upon the strength of the garrison, the con- dition of our horses, the supplies of foodstuffs, and he was to stay withâ€" in Mafeking for about ten days. He was captured as he was creeping in, snatching cover from the bushes and rocks which spread over the south- eastern face of the tOWn. When he was caught, as though momentarily realizing the pOSSibilities of his fate. he at first refused to say who he was, whence he came or What had been his purpose. How a spy for the Boers, capturâ€" ed within the British lines at Mafeâ€" king, was put to death is told by the correspondent of an English pa.â€" per, who was one of the witnesses.

His anti~British tendencies date from the time when he killed a colored man with a stone and was put on trial for his life therefor. The Boer and the Briton differ nowhere more widely than in their attitude toâ€" .Wards the native races. In the eyes of t' Boers. Steenekamp’s offence in killing the negro was \‘enial: in the e_\es of the British law it was a felony.

All farmers know that. other things being equal, a litter of pigs from a sow 3, 4 and even 5 years old produces stronger and better pigs as well as a greater number than from a young sow, says The American Cultivator. The first litter when the sow pig is bred under a year old is pretty sure to have one, two or three runts in it That means that the young sow was not able to appropriate sufficient nour- ishment to bring forth all the pigs that she conceived when impregnated. If the gestation continued longer, some of these would have died, and the litter would be smaller than it is. Still there is an advantage in thus breeding sows s soon as possible, even though the first litter is not worth much. Patten these first litters for masters and sel‘. them at 10 to 12 weeks old whenever there is good demand for them. Then without waiting for the sow to fatten up after her pigs are taken from her breed her again. She must be fed very sparingly, and yet with nourishing food that will make the sow grow rath- er than fatten. In five or six weeks the pigs in her fetus will begin to draw upon the sow and increase her appetite. Then her own rations must be increased. In this way she can be made to grow instead of fatten, and the litter of pigs will be much better; than the first. Heart Humbug Successful Cultivation of Alulm on the Plains. Promising experiments are being conducted in Texas under the direction of the national department of agricul- ture in an efiort to find a way of re storing the cattle ranges almost de- stroyed by overstocking, says the New York Evening Post. When the land upon which the experiments have been conducted was shown to a committee of experienced stockmen in March. 1898, they decided that it would re- quire 16 acres of it to support a cow through the season and expressed some doubt as to whether the yield of grass would be sufficient for that, and this season the agent in charge has been pasturing cattle on this land at the rate of one head for every eight acres. There is now an unbroken turf over the entire land and a fine carpet of grass. Before the experiments were commenced one-half of the land was devoid of vegetation and almost as hard and barren as a pavement. Sev- eral of the experiments with the intro- duction of foreign grasses and foreign plants have proved successful. Chief among these is the experiment with the “oasis” alfalfa. This is an alfalfa that was found growing without irri- gation on the high plains of India. The agricultural department secured one pint of seed and sent them to the agent for trial. This alfalfa grew rapidly and reached a height of some two feet. In July the drought set in, and by Sept. 1 the agent had reported to Washington that this alfalfa was all dead, and to every appearance it was. On Oct. 23 the rains came. Green shoots started feom the roots, and from that date alfalfa eight inches tall was cut.
