"such is the case as between pure and well-bred stock, what will be the difference in profit between raising pure-bred stock and the common grade which almost entirely forms the sta. ple among farmers in tho County of Grey? The failure of wheat as the chief produce of the farm is becoming more and more " dent every day. The past seuon has-Ibeen more favorable to the growth and maturity of the grain crops than our season: gener- ally are, yet the wheat in many places is a total fuilurc. generally, yields from five to ten bushels to the acre, while only in ex. crptional cases his the yield reached filtmsn to twenty. In these circumstances the runners are wilfully blind to their own in. terests if they continue the present system of agriculture any longer. The fact is that by rrpvated cropping year after Your the soil has become exhausted of those Me. ments which are essential the growth of grain generally. but of wheat in particular, and it is only by n system of rest to the hind and liberal mnnuring that its fertility can be restored. Such has been the ex. perience of tho older States of the Union in reference to corn and tobacco. and such is the experience of Canadian farmers in the l older settlements with wheat and other 1 grain crops. The inference is ylnin. Let our farmers give their chief attention to stock raising. They would thus be able to bring the soil back to a state of fertility, and out of their labor: make a good profit, which many at the present time do not do. But it in not only that Ittention should be given to stock raisin: pure and simple. It is of first importance that the stock shall be won or rather pun bred.

The summcrs in England are very little ‘ warmer than our early May weatheriu the latitude of Newluk. indium corn, peach- es, tomatoes, ete., do not ripen at all in that climate. The wheat harvest generally begins about the middle of August. The English lanhreape is indeed beauti- ful, Its natural greenneu, Iddetl to the high state ofoultivation,givos it n lsenuty unequalled anywhere. Nearly all the fences are hedges of hawthorn, and add much to the beauty of the lundsnepe. Our fences, here, are of wood, are badly kept, and not to be compared to the fence: there. English houses are almost universally either brick or stone, and coxered with tile I or slate. In our country with the excel " tiou oi the largo cities unnl towns the hour es are built of wood and covered with wooden shingles. Wooden roofs are al. most unknown in England. But, while our American towns are more exposed t , 1 fsre, the: are more neatly and regularly I laid out, have wider streets and larger gur- Jens, und the masses of the people are cut I tuinly more Comfortable. Fursn laborers in England are ill paid, I] but they are faithtul and patient, and as a I rule, more reliable than our farm lmnds.l There is not much waste in gathering the crops there. Our harvesters leave far more wheat upon the fscld than they do in Eng- land. The farm laborer in England is us- ually almost as ignorant as the cart horse he drives. He is only a working animal. His life settles down to a. dull, sluggish ex- l i,tenee and this is where the nrristoerncy want him to remain. m does not every day indulge in the luxury of meat. In our country the farmer is generally the pro- prietor, and often tills the ground without hired help. This iliffereuee will readily explain why American produce so success- fully competes with English farm produce in their home markets. The English sysv [ tem is too heavily freighted With lazy' landlords and other» who take a. share in the profits hut no share in the Work. The English workmen ii nearly ill. "paruuents are paid less wages than here. and in bi. of the necessaries oflife are much higher than here. Rent Is it triite lower, perhaps. If the American Workman lived as close ttr; I his English cousin, he might lay by agree! lpurt of his wages “hen in full work. lin- glish cooking is indifferent enough. Eng- lish girls from the'nge of 14 until they are married, so gentrally work in factories and shops that they rarely learn well the de. tails of good hourekeeping. 1 am speaking at the masses. not oi the wealthy furs. ml the masses. not oi the wealthy few.‘ Cooking is mostly done on an open cnul five or grate. Good work is utterly in . possible under such circumstances. closed stoveis, such as we use, are recently coming into more extensive use; but they are still far from plentiful. In every depurtmenl ct life the superior skill and iuvcntivertess of the Americm Workman ttreplaiulysectr. English tools are clumsy and uuslsapely, Ind tools of American make are gonerally preferred. English work was once well and honestly done, and in mine depart. ments there is still a. shadow of the old quality left, but it is going fast. The clumsy management of railways illustrate: this general w-intuf tskill or t-Ict. They still retain the ancient Construction of railway cars, with numerous Compart- ments and doors on ouch side instead of the ends. No one can pass through the cars while they ure in motion, and our t‘nu- venient Conductor is unknown. The mun who aeeotnpanies the train in that capacity is called the “Guard," but he is a stupid fellow wha can give you little or no inter- nmtinn and no expects it fee for what little he dues give. _ But the worst and greater-t trouble ofull is that the baggage is not ichccked, and you must in Pn'twn see to 1your luggage us they call it. You must see i it is put on the right train whm you start, and must also claim it at, once upon your) arrival at, your destination. The) cars themselves are not provided with any of the conveniences which are found on i all American cars. They do not dream of carrying drinking water on the train, and even in tho waiting rooms at the stations. On most railway lines it is not possible to get :1 drink of water without teeiug a por- ter. I remember when going down to Gravesend on the “Princes: Alias" (the same boat that was afterwat'dl sunk in the Thames and several hundred lives lost) t could not get a drink in the boat without going to the bar and buying a bottlo of ale. In fut they don't drink water to any ex- tent in England. 'Tis certainly not the usual beveuge. If you think this worthy of space in the Ravine I my be indined laguin to drop pm a letter. d Ma.
