A despatch from St. John, Nid., says:â€" The fishery news from Labrador, where the chief cod fishing of the colony is prosâ€" ecuted, is most encouraging, and prospects wre excellent for the largest fishery in many years. _ Many large dealers have twice as much fish as last year. The shore dealers, as well as the green fish catchers, wre securing good fares, and many have used all their salt, so that shipments are being made from here, fearing that the fish may be ruined. _ The shore fishery along the western coast is nearly over, and was much ‘above the average. The lobster fishâ€" J This year hay is apparently going to be high, Already :neu are tending upward, und holders are keeping their old stock for further advances. The coming crop will not be a large one unless more rain falls. We have had for that matter a number of years lately when good hay paid as well as ny crop on the farm. _ If we but handle the grass land properly we will find it the most remunerative on the farm. . Good Timothy hay, however, can he raised only ‘ on land that is enriched. 1 By handling our hay felds in this way we can crop them more years in succession than if we n.!glecl. them. _ Six successive crops of good Iimothy off the hayâ€"field is something unusual, and yet that is just what this system will do every time. The question is whether the labor of spreading the manure in late sammer will not pay if such results are obtainable. Even strawy manure that has not been entirely composted will give good results. The straw protects the roots of the grass from the hot sun, and helps to retain the moisture in the soil after each shower. About ten good loads of manure to the acre «pplied several years in succession will make such ‘a difference in the yield that one would be surprised. Manure applied in the fall, and then harrowed over lightly, will tend to make new grass seeds sprout st once, and on the whole the pastures seem to be benefited by this harrowing, especially if rain follows right after it. By applying the manure in this way late in summer it does not interâ€" fere with the next season‘s crop of hay, but rather tends to increase its yield. Of course, it keeps the cattle off the pasture for m time, and this certainly should be done for a few weeks in midâ€"summer any way. Pasturing stock on the meadows right after mowing, when the soil is dry «nd the sun is very hot, is the surest way to run out & good picce of grass land. After mowin$ the land needs & rest, and a littie stimulating then will help matters « great deal. e e m .o Good barnyard manure applied right after the meadows and pastures are mown in the «ummer give very beneficial results. It can be hauled out from the yards and stables in August or September, and spread over the stubble. The earlier after the meadows are mown the better, and where they are cut in early July, the work can be done profitably then. Thin pastures will wiso be greatly improved by a midâ€"summer manuring, and where the grass has been very thin at cutting it is an easy matter then to -gply the manure where most needed. By following this method up sysâ€" tematically patchy meadow land can be made even and regular. .. $ The care of all milk utensils, as well us those for the butter, must have special wttention in hot weather. Never put hot water upon milk gull until they have first been rinsed with cold. Never use soup sround dairy utensils of any kind. Hot water, pure and simple, is by far the best cleanser and destroyer of microbes. Let all pails, cans, strainers, otc., be given a good scalding every day. Look out for any cloths in use about dairy. See that they are exch: nged very frequently for fresh ones. Rinse andscald them and shake out well before hanging up to dry each time they are used. Make strainer cloth of new bleached butterâ€"cloth and have them large enough to double twice over the lower part of the wire strainer. Don‘t leave off the cloth strainer. If you do not think it necessary just try it onceâ€"no matter how clean your cows may be. if there is nothing on it but milk you may not need it, I think, however, you will be convineed of its usefuiness, When, years ago, ice was not obtainable and the churning a small one, the writer used to hang the butter down the well (which had an open curb) until sufficiently cold and hard to work nicely. A good cellar, if properly manzged, keeping it closed during the middle of the day and open when cooler, will k“f the butter hard if there is no ice. t should be perfectly sweet and clean, with no vegetâ€" wbles, old boards or trash of any kind around. Screens at door and windows are « necessity. . _ . k es «aammmmmarmiarammiamiaraaren 1t is an undecided question as to whother the thorough washing of the butter detracts from its favor. _ Old time butterâ€"makers often omitted the washing entirely and some of the finest flavored butter we ever tusted was not washed at all. . Butter that is thoroughly washed needs less working. Overâ€"worked butter quickly spoils. Butter should be hard enough to resist the ladle or worker or it is not in fitcondition to be worked. Making sutter in Hot Weather. Hot weather is what tries the butterâ€" maker‘s metal. It is well nigh impossible to succeed in making a really fine article without ice. The next best thing is & spring of cold water ranning through the milk room. Next to this in a windmillat« tached to the well in such a manner as to have a tank of tresh water in which to set the milik and cream. Next is the cool cellar and milk set in open pans. Eternal vigilance is indeed the price of wuccees in making good butter when the thermometer registers up in the nineties or even the eighties, The churaing in summer time should «lways be done early in the morning so as to get it out of the way while it is cool. It 1s « good plan to start it before breakfast. If one of the men could be spared from the chores to do this job it should be so arrangâ€" ed, as with mont churne it is pretty heavy work for a womau. If the churn is not filled too full threeâ€"quarters of an hour ought to bring the butter to granules; then add a pint of salt to facilitate its separatâ€" ing from the buttermilk, turn a few times or until the buttermilk will draw off uicely, «nd wash in plenty of cold water. Churn «t 58 degrees if possible in summer. The cream must be kept as cool as posâ€" sible until sufficient has accumulated for @ churning. . If there is an extra can in the creamery this is a good place to keep it. Exposure to the open air in the milk room â€"covered of courseâ€"will sour it sufficientâ€" ly in twentyâ€"four hours, It should be stirred frequently during the time o enâ€" sure its r'illnning evenly the same as in Winter, There is danger of its getting too sour which must be guarded against. In the first place the milk, if set in a creamery or in cans of any kind deeper than the common milk pan, must be quickâ€" ly cooled. With plenty >f ice this is an easy matter, . Without it, fresh water from the well must be poured into the tank surrounding the milk after that which cooled the milk has been drawn off, say, half an hour after straining, or as scon as the water becomes as warm as the milk. A neglect to do this will result in a groat loss of cream and consequently of butter. Summerâ€"Manuring of Pastures. Relieved His Mind.

Would you be disappointed, Samuel, if I was to live on, and you couldn‘t colt around and go to the circus and marry a young gal?

Mrs. Gallup squoze out six tears, took a hearty snutl of the camphor, and rose up to say : _** Mrs. Bebee says if she was to die and Bebee was to marry again she‘d cum back as a speerit and haunt his wife, but that‘s not my way. You kin git one as soon as you piease arter I‘m gone, and I won‘t nevâ€" er bother her. I s‘pose you‘ll paint the kitchen floor fur her, and if she wants the pigâ€"pen whitewashed twice a year you won‘t say a word. There is another thing about angels, Samuel. When they are tookin‘ sick in the night what‘s done fur ‘em and who does it ? And I was thinkin‘ only this mornin‘ that I never tried to f} in all my life, and that I‘d probably bre.{ my neck unless I was interduced to some angel who‘d show mehow to flAp my wings." But Mr. Gallup didn‘t. He straightened up and cast a glance at Mrs. Gallup, but he had nothing to say. She sobbed three sobs and shed fourteen tears while waiting, and whea it was apparent that he had on optuion to__ulvmcc, she said : **There‘sâ€"there‘s another thing I wantâ€" ed to talk mbout," said Mrs. Gallop as she wiped her eyes and choked back her sobs. *‘I‘ve been dyin‘ my hair fur the last five years. If they don‘t hev hair dye up in heaven I don‘t know what I am goin‘ to do. And what abouts the nightâ€"caps, Samuel ? I‘ve worn one fur the last twenty years, und if they don‘t supply ‘em to angels I shall hev the earache as sure‘s your born. You are a justice of the peace and orter know about these things and I wish you‘d tell me." Nr. Gallup bad picked a rusty iromn hoop up out of the grass and was busy driving it over the barrel, and even if he heard her he did not think best to answer. *If I could hev lived m couple of weeks longer I could hev put up a lot of crabâ€"apple preserves and made a jar of tomater sass, but the Lord knows best.

Hevy you decided on about how much you‘ll pay fur my graveâ€"stum, Samuel *‘ g 4 ‘ And there Mrs. Gallup, who had graduâ€" ally been working up to it broke down and began to sob and thrust the end of her red nose into the mouth of the bottle in her hand. The putting on of the hinge was a trifling matter, and Mr. Gallup had finished and was ready to tackle the rain barrel when Mrs. Gallup broke down. He walked away leaving ber in tears, but she followed after and sat down on the washâ€" bench to continue : \ **Samuel," she began as she sat down on an old box with her back to the structure, ‘*the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away, and we can‘t help ourselves, I‘m wbout to be tookin.‘ I‘ve got my summons, ’ and before you hev fed the hogs and milkâ€" ed the cow I shall be flappir‘ my angelic wings.

Mrs, Sam White owes me starch and pepper and bakin‘ powder, and even if she leads thesingin‘ you want to make her pay her debts. Some wives would go right on and die and never think of these things, but that ain‘t my way. Mrs. Hopkins has my quilt frames, and Mrs. Greely has had one of my flatirons fur three weeks. After the funeralâ€"after my mortal remains hev been laid awayâ€"â€"!" Mr. Gallup walked down the path leading to the barn and turned aside to the henâ€" house, One of the leather hinges on the door had worn out, and he was knocking the pieces off with his hammer when Mrs. Gallup arrived. Although in a dying conâ€" dition she bad gone back to the bedroom for the camphor bottle and by its aid had ventured forth. *‘I‘m sorry that I shan‘t be here to git your supper, Samuel," she said as she leaned up against the kitchen door ; "it‘ll be the first supper I‘ve missed fur twentyâ€" one .years, but when a person :s called she must go. You‘ll hev to make out on cold vittles fur oncs, and as I‘ll be lyin‘ dead in the house mebbe your appetite will be sorter blunted, . Who do you think you‘d like to hev to sit up with the corpse toâ€"night, Samuel * I did think I‘d like to hev Mrs. Teachout and Mrs. Gregory, but both of ‘em are awful eaters and great hands to look around through closets «nd _ drawers. Mebbe you‘d better git Mrs. Watkins and Mrs. Tyler. They won‘t want much toeat, and they are sich gossips they won‘t hev time to look around." At the dinner table Mrs. Gallup had remarked that a hinge was of the henâ€" house door, the rainâ€"barrel needed a new hoop and the woodshed door wouldn‘t shut and at 3 o‘clock in the afternoon. Mr. Gallup came home to tinker things. He found the kitchen door open and walked in and looked around for Mrs. Gallup, but she was not to be seen, He had gotten hammer and nails from the woodshed and was about to go out to the henâ€"Louse, when Mrs. Gallup faintly called him from the downstairs bedroom. _ Mr. Gallup stood irresolute for a moment and then went in to her. See was lying ou the bed with a towel around her head and the family Bible in ber hands. **You‘d bin gone about an hour," said Mrs. Gallup, in a stronger voice, "aud I was jest sayin‘ to myself that I‘d probably live twenty years yit, when the Lord audâ€" denly called me, Yes, Samuel, a warnin was sent me that I must prepar‘ to spread my golden wings and flap from airth away. I was lookin‘ right at the clock when it stopped with w sort of whirr, and at the same mivit that big yaller bowl in which I make custards fell of the table and broke all to smusb. That‘s exactly what happened to Mrs. Jackson und Mrs. Smallman afore they died, and Elder Spooner suid it was the Lord‘s way of tellin‘ ‘em that they‘d better git ready fur everlastin‘ bliss. Samâ€" uel, don‘t you want to kiss my chin and promise me you won‘t take a second wife ‘till I‘ve bin dead a year *" % Mr. Gallap evidently didn‘t. He took a second sniff at the camphor bottle and then turned and went out into the kitchen and from thence to the woodshed to find an old bootleg from which to cut a hinge for the henâ€"house door. He found what he wauted, und was ready to o about his work when Mrs. Gallup appeared. She had left the Bible bebind, but the towel was still tied around her head, and she had slipped her feet into her shoes without tying them up. Mr. Gallup ought to have been very much startled and upset, but he waan‘t Hs scratched his head and made a purring sound and took the camphor bottle off the bureau and sniffed heartily at its contents. * So my prayera hev bin answered !‘ sighed Mrs. Gallup, as she feebly opened her eyes. **Samuel, I prayed that you might git here in time to kiss me on the chin and say goodbye, and you are here. I hev just three minutes to live!" MRS. GALLUP‘S WOES. Wfec® ons This has been m batsman‘s yearâ€"there can be no doubt about that. Never in the anpals of the game have so many centuries been chronicled allâ€"round. it was,therefore, to be expected that Dr. W. G. Grace‘s record of innings of 318, made as far back as 1876, would be approached ; but few ; were prepared for the leviathan score of 424, made by young McLaren ten days ago for Lancashire agrinst Somerset, coupled aa it is with another record, the enormous total of 801 for the Lancashire innings. . A. C. McLaren is in his twentyâ€"fourth year and learned his cricket at Harrow school, where he captained the eleven and scored 75 against Eton on an almost unplayable wicket. He was immediately asked to play for his county and on his first appearance compiled 108 runs in firstâ€"class siyle. He was in Australialast Winter wi‘h Stoddart‘s team, and there scored most consistently, coming out next to Mr, Stoddart in the averages. In putting together the large total mentioned above, he was at the wickets for nearly eight hours, hitting freely and yet playing correct cricket with a superb defence. AN INDIAN PRINCE LEADS THE WAy. The Indian Prince, Ranjitsinhji, now stands second in the list of the batting mverages ; at the present moment he is looked upon as the most brilliant batsman of the year,not even excepting the redoubtâ€" able “%V. G." and the advance made by Sussex this season is not a little due to his dashing performance,combined with a magâ€" nificent aefence. There was a delightful tale current at Cambridge a year or two ago this young cricketer while he was studying at t.Kn university. _ It was to the effect that, having made a century in an importâ€" ant match, he telegraphed the fact to his | Eton and Harrow matches. _ The author of *"Tom Brown‘s Schooldays" said of | cricket that it was something more than a game, it was an institation, and we can certainly be convinced of the truth of this statement when we nctice the unbroâ€" ken ring of spectators, ten or twelve deep, on the stands,in carriages or in the ordinâ€" ary seats; it is asight which cannot be easiâ€" ly paralleled. All these people, politician‘s peeresses, stockbrokers, clergymen (hosts of them), have come ostensibly to see some thirteen persons, clothed in white flannel, performing certain mysterious antics with w leather ball and twelve pieces of wood. As the Frenchman said of the fox hunt, ""There is no band of moosick, no nossing," for only on ore occasion each season, when the M. C. C. plays the Royal Artillery, is the sound of music heard within the enâ€" closure. But these white flannelled perâ€" sons can «do very exciting things on occasions, and the intense interest which an important match arouses throughout the length and breadth of England proves the hold the zame bas on the Britishers ; an attendance of thirty thousand spectators in one afternoon is by no meams unusual, and they are wont to regard the game of cricket as one of the physical virtues which have helped to form the national character for pluck, as well as readiness of resource, PLAYING FORWARD, similar reply to that of the player who was asked the origin of the word *‘Yorker," and say "I don‘t see what else you could call it," writes a London correspondent. An aristocratic flavor certainly pervades Lord‘s from one end to the other. Plenty of peers may be seen among the occupants of the pavilion whenever an interesting match I is in progress, while a few, like Lord Harris and Lord Hawke, have earned fame on it ’lmool.hly shorn turf. Even the professional bowlers have a certain courtlines« in their ‘demunor, while the Lord‘s crowd is not as other cricket crowds. Ii is keenly appreâ€" Ciative of good play, but rarely loses it, head, its emotions being kept in check by something of the repose that marks the caste of the "Vere de Veres." For all this the name ""Lord" is merely a happy acciâ€" dent, and takes its title from a cricketer named Thomas Lord, who, toward the end of the last century, acquired a piece of property in Marylebone not far from the site of the present ground, and which he laid out as a cricket field, When the ground was required for building purposes and a move had to be made further out { the uname Lord‘s Cricket Ground was also transferred with it,although the original proprietor hnfl‘ beqn_deufl some years. . â€" To see Lord‘s at its best, we do not say its best cricket, one should go there on the occasion of the Oxford and Cambridge, or A PRINCE FROM FAR AWAY INDIA LEADS THE AMATEURS.

Although not so deadly as formerly, he still remains the best fastâ€"bowler among amateur players. He has done many fine performances with the ball, notably in May, 1890, when, playing for Cambridge Universicy against Mr. Thornton‘s England eleven, he took all the wickets in the second innings,. He made his reputation at Brighton College when a boy, by scoring over 200 runs against twentyâ€"two professionals and masâ€" ters.

No mention of this season‘s cricket would be complete without & reference to Dr. W. G. Grace. The " Grand Old Man ot Cricket " still heads the batting list, with an average of 73, and wants but 155 to complete his 2,000 notches for the year, Were any proof wanting of his intinite variety or of his remarkable vitality, it would be found in the fact that after over thirty years of continuous and unsparing work he is still unmistakably the champion cricketer, as he was in 1865. The moral, indeed, of his exceptional success has been the example he has set to cricketers in all parts of the world of thorough earnestness of P“"F“"- Even now, when the freshâ€" ness of youth has long passed, he is, in his pursuit of the game, in his eagerness to make as well as to save runs, as young as KENDALL‘S SPAVIN CURE, In the earlier part of this season S. M. J, Woods received a great deal of attention by reason of his brilliant performances with the bat, and though he has not done so well lately, he has now completed his thousand runs for this year, a performance which has also been accomplished by W, relatives in India in some such terms as these: ‘"Have made fifty runs. _ Am joyfal.‘" Straight came back an answer : We are joyful also. â€" Have just sacrificed fifty slaves." _ The idea of the gonial ‘‘Smith" (as he is called by his intimate friends) having relatives capable of such barbarity _ was scouted _ offhand, â€" and the undergradustes even wentso far as to doubt his connection with any potentates of India at all. But it appears that he is either the nephew or cousin of the ruler of the Stete of Jamnagar, _ Years ago the cricketer was the heir, but he was put out of the succession and was sent over to Englund to complete his education at Camâ€" bridge University. _ He took to the game very quickly, and has now developed into a famous bat and a fieldsman, whose skill makes hardened attendants at Lord‘s weep with delight, The people of Jamnagar insisted on having Ranjitsinhji as their ruler, and the Government of Bombay had actually to interfere on behalf of the rightâ€" ful heir. ‘*Smith" was not anxious by any means toleave England,and having qualified by residence for the County of Sussex,he is now thoroughly enjoying himself in the cricket fields of England, instead of capâ€" taining an eleven of "all Jamnagar." _ He: is an immense favorite with players and. spectators alike. i G.
