P. R. to alleviate the scarcity ~of fodder in Ontario? â€" The railway might for once be philanthropic and charge a ver low freight rate, or none at all. 1{ has received favors in its day. The South Grey Agricultural Society exists for a woerthy purpose. Could Never in the experience. of any in this community has a drought brought such disastrous effects on the farming interests. Two weeks ago in many parts the bay crop was given up, but a daily expectation of rain gave hope that the grain crops would be rescued in time. This hope, (up to Tuesday) has been doomed to disappointment, and the consequence is that on many farms a state of affairs exists that may almost be said to herald a famine. Suggestions, however unusual must be accepted and considered at such a time. The latest we have heard is one by a thoughtful and observant farmer, Mr. G. Collinson, of Aberdeen, and consists in a proposal to return in a modified way to what all old settlers well know as * browsing cattle. The proposal is to "underbrush" the growth of young trees that in many places choke the bush, tiethe tender tops into sheaves, and store away for cattle to chew at next winter. We have a distinct recollection some twenâ€" ty odd years ago of cattle chewing basswood brouse as thick as a finger while elm brouse seemed to them a treat. â€" Anyway this would be occupyâ€" ing the time usually spent in having in clearing the bush land and making it fit for * seeding down " purposes. _ summer. . It grows rapidly in all soils, preferably clays, and as it comes to maturity quickly it could take the place of a second crop. Mr. Blackie writing upon the cultivation of rape as a forage plant says, that an acre of rape with a little straw will keep thirty cows in full milk for a month. Rape seed is not killeâ€"1 by dry weather. It requires little moisture for germination so that a good method for its cultivation is, to sow it broadcast in the corn field or in the potato patch, after the last cultivation. . It is thus shaded, will haye a good start, and after the corn or potatoes are harvested, the rafix: will afford fine pasturage for cattle and sheep, and ata time, too, when ordinary pasture is very poor. â€"Lindenbank, an authority upon all| WMCR C agricultural matters, hbas been lately successf directing attention in the ‘Montreal | S¢ here.

Bridget was considered by her husband, father and brothers as well as the neighbors to be possessed, that is under the influence of the fairies. In order to dispossess the elfin group which ruled over Briget she was subjected to the most horrible bodily tortures, beating and burning, her husband who administered this treatment, the while standing over her and exclaiming, "In the rame of God are you Bridget Cleary." ‘The inâ€" ‘tention of these raisguided people being to exorcise the fairy which had posâ€" session of her, so that her own soul would then return to its lawfal habitâ€" ation. But the treatment resulted in the deagh of poor Bridget. Fairy supâ€" erstition held long sway over the Teutonic and Celtic races, and no where more se( trely than over the Celtic races of .reland, Wales and Seoiland, the power of the imagination _being peculiarly active among the Celts, and leading to an enthusiasm in music, dancing and song, and what ever the fancy delights in. Their rocks ,and caves, and woods, were thronged with the fairy people, who, accoraing to the caprice olpfhe moment, were frieudly or otherwise, but who always exercised much influence in the affaias of men. _ The poet Chaucer E;ys the compliment to the Church of me, its monks and friars, of having banished these inférior spirits _ But some escaped, for so late as the reign of good é):een Bess Bishop Corbett memmndin 4B w Pn n in en D P n wl d wrote the ‘Faries‘ Farewell,‘ ascribing ing, the attacks of the Hessian £y and other enemies of the wheat plant, the competition of the wheat fields of the West, of the Argentine Republic. of Russia, India and Egypt, the Canadian \fzu'mer found that the raising of wheat did not pay. â€" Attention wasthen given to stock raising and this had the double advantage of fair profits and of resâ€" toring the fertility of the soil. But unfortunately, shortness of fodder in the present season and the competition of foreign countries have reduced the profits of stock.raising. The lesson is, enlarge the s;ferc of mixed husbandry. To grain and stock raising, add that of poultry raising, so that in the event of one department, or two even being injuriously affected at any time the others may, by judicious management make up the loss. instance, in the far West, at Calgary, a farmer wintered sixty hens. : He fed them on barley which cost him 35 ets per bushel and found that the barley netted him $1.50 per bushel. No other department ot the farm will show a better margin of profit. The Presiâ€" dent of the Ontario Agricultural Farm also reported that in gathering inforâ€" mation as to poultry raising he had visited a farm of forty acres in New York State the gentleman kept 600 White Leghorns and devoted his whole time to the care of the fowl, employ ing labor for the cultivation of the farm. The eggs were ship({)cd fresh to New York the year round, the result being that from these 600 hens he made on they not in the present emergency have a meeting to consider the situa« tion and ascertain if anything can be done to assist the suffering farmer and his stock ? hem to receive ample profits labors and outlay. _ For in the far West, at Calgary, wintered sixty hens. : He fed barley which cost him 35 ets by the First Minister on the Manitob@ School Case, the crisis is over and the Government remains on the Treasury benches. _ On â€" Monday _ Mr. Foster made astatement in the House of Comâ€" mons to the effect, that, as the reply of Manitoba held forth grounds for supâ€" The longâ€"expected and soealled crisis has come, but matters continue ‘much as they were. _ There has been agood deal of posing to the right and the left â€"sputterings of wrath by the, Ouiinetâ€" Caron contingent from Qucbcc.";l%d rumbling of pent up forces by: the Wallaceâ€"Hag gart faction from Ontario, but the announcement has been made POULTRY RAISING The Lime KilnClub on Mr. Henry‘s firm is stiD jufoll binst, slthouth not in :f.polmon to tho Indians. ‘They keep thâ€"oe animals on exhibi~ to>.

Among the variety of plans he presented were, a private prayer meeting of the active members, « ** promise" meeting, and the writing out of short prayers l?)y back ward memâ€" bers, _ Mr. McWhinney, of Hanover, dwelt on the importance of the Sunday morning p»rayer meeting.

He shunned statistics and dividing his subject into "Our Relations to God" and our * Relations to our neighbor," andshowed that unless we were in a proper relation to God we could not form profitable relations to our neighbor. This address was vigorâ€" ously delivered, but rather long. Rev.
