In Hawaii lthese two directions are distinctly marked. On the windward side of every island tropical rains, growth of green things to jungle luxuriance; on the iceward side drought rarely brok- en. scanty grasses precariously exist- ting in a sun-baked soil, for most months of most. years sere and brown. But as not every one can live to wind- ward. and it seems a pity to let so much leeward go to waste which might otherwise be good, the algarroba tree has been introduced from the African aridities and has made cattle ranching a. successful possibility on the dry lands.

Yet if environment can effect what some be- lieve it can, a few generations of cat- tle in Hawaii are likely to evolve a race of scansorial kine, for the com- mon fodder for cows and horses grows on trees. Extremes are dangerous. One class of farmers do not feed enough for pro- fit. especially after grass is gone, while the other class believes in the theory of “the more feed the more product." Both are wrong. An animal may con- sume more food than it can digest, making the product expensive. Feedâ€" ing depends on variety. Too much corn or ground grain in the summer season will cause bowel difficulty, and an excess in winter without the addi- tion of bulky material gives no corres- ponding benefit, as it is voided. Give the animals a sufficiency, but not ex- clusively of one kind of food. Inasucculent, repidly growing tree the blight bacteria find more favor- able conditions of growth than one which develops more slowly and vig- orously. A succulent growth induced by severe pruning should be avoided. Experiments have proven that with- holding water from potted trees has checked the progress of the disease. In addition to pear trees, this blight at- tacks the apple, crab, quince, mountain ash, service berry and several species of hawthorn. This trouble is due toa; bacterial dis- tease, the germs of which enter the tree through the flower or breaks in the bark. The young inner bark and the Cambium layer are most seriously affected. Situated beneath the bark, it is impossible to check the trouble by Spraying. When any particular part becomes affected, as indicated by the blackened leaves, out off some dis- tance below the injury and burn. Thorough work should be done after the growing period. This is by 130 means a sure preventive, but it IS about the only method of checking the disease.

He was educated at. Eton and Cambridge. and took his degree at the latter place. During his college days he went in for athletics strongly, and attested his prowess in rowing, scull- ing and running by winning numer- ous trophies. His love for outdoor sports still continues to the extent of bicycle riding, an amusement which the Countess of Minto shares with him very often. HIS MILITARY EXPERIENCE. Lord Minto has had a varied mili- tary experience, and has seen hard servnce in several campaigns. Upon finishing his education, he joined the Scots Guards in 1867, and served three years in that body- This was his preliminary training for a long and honorable mili- tary career. He followed the Carlist army in Navarre and Biscay in the tnorth of Spain in 1874 as acorrespond- Lent for a London newspaper. and in 1877 was sent to Turkey by the in- telligence department as an assistant attache under Colonel Lennox. detailed to follow the Turkish army in the Rue- so-Turkish campaign. He was present at the bombardment of Nikopolis by' the Russians, and witnessed the cros- ing of the Danube by the victors. He was laid up in a hospital with fever several weeks, during which the Bus- sians pushed steadily toward the Bal- kans. and upon getting out again he was fortunate in being the first to notify England by telegraph of the fact. that the Russians had crossed the mountains. The hardships of this cam- paign compelled Lord Minto to return home before the war was finished. ' In 1878 his Lordship went to India. and. going to the front in Afghanis- tan, joined Lord Roberts. He was with f A...‘ CAMPAIGN is sure to strengthen the regard DOW entertained for them. They will be the handsomest (‘Ollple ever occupying Rideau Hall, and fuTIy capable of main- taining the. Social prestige of their high position. With them will prob- ably come three highly accomplished and lovely daughters, and two sons, forming an exceptionally interesting family. Lord Minto comes of one of the best known families in Scotland. and has a fine record in military and civil life. He is the fourth Earl of Minto, and a descendant, of Gilbert Elliott, whose great-grandson, Sir Gil- bert, was created Baron Minto in 1797. His family name is Gilbert John Elliott and he succeeded to the title in 1891. He is very wealthy, owning an estate of 16,000 acres, which includes the do- main in Roxburgshire, near Jedburghfl and property in Fifeshire. l The arrlval of the Earl and his charmmg wife, the.

The appointment of the Earl of Minto as Governor-General. to succeed the Bar] or Aberdeen, is hailed with satisfaction throughout Canada. It. is generally believed that no mare fit- ting appointment could have been made by the Home Government. Lord Minto will not; assume his official duties under the disadvantage of be- ing a stranger, for he is widely known throughout; the provinces. It: might be truthfully said that he is already a DODular man, and is sure to fall heir to the general good-will which all Canadians feel for the Earl of Aber- deen.

Charles Grey, who was private secre- tary to the Queen. She is a remark- ably handsome and charming woman. and is as popular in the border dis- trict as the Earl..Their mansion at Minto, which is the little village from which the family takes its name, is a palatial structure situated about six miles from Hawick on the Teviot. There are. many historical associations connected with the mansion. It his for many years been visited by men and women famous in art. and science. literature. poetry and politics. In days gone by Sir Walter Scott and Thomas Campbell were frequent. visitors, the latter writing “Lochiel's \Varning” while a guest of Sir Gilbert Elliot. . Lord Minto is not a military man only. He takes a deep interest in other affairs, and especially in agri- culture and stock raising. He is one of the strongest supporters of the bor- der agricultural societies, and has con- tributed many valuable prizes towards bettering the conditions of the farm- ing community. He owns two of the largest and most highly improved farms in the borderland, and is a regular and successful exhibitor at. the shows. From his boyhood days his Lordship has been an ardent lover of sports and athletics. Soon after re- ceiving his degree at Cambridge he became known as an accomplished steeplechase rider, and in 1874 he rode in the grand national steeplechase at Paris. He counts as one of his most valued possessions a picture of the animal he rode in this race, painted by Baron Flnot. He is a regular contri- butor and patron of the border athletic . organizations, and with the Countess , Lord Minto came to Canada in 1883 as military secretary to the Marquis of Lansdowne, the Governor-General. 'One of his first acts in a military ca- pacity was the organization of 300 Can- adian boatmen for service in Egypt. [11 1885, when the rebellion broke out in the North-west under Riel, Lord ;Minto accompanied General Middleton’s Canadian volunteers to the scene of the outbreak in the capacity of chief of staff and took part in the hard- est fighting. The conclusion of this campaign closed Lord Minto’s active service, but he has taken a hearty in- terest in military affairs ever since. Upon his return to Scotland in 1887 he took a prominent part in organiz- ing the Border Mounted Rifles, and when the Scottish Border Brigade was formed the next year his Lordship was appointed brigadier general. This bri-‘ gade holds manoeuvres every second! Year at Minto, and has won numerous‘ prizes in competition against the regu-I ars. Cairo. Most of its officers were either killed. wounded or invalided.
