An ingenious device for lighting the candle is ‘grovnded by placing small pads .under the tableâ€" cloth and taking the current from them by means of two pin points in the base of the candlestick. _ The candles, of courss, are extinguished on being taken from the table and are relighted when they are replaced in Many Devices by Means of Which Domestic Dauties are Lessened.

Porto Cabello, which is of more commercial importance, has some works, and is also protected by a bar which, it would appear, the heavier Britâ€" ish vessels could not cross. . La Guayra is the place that would perhaps be most likely to receive an attack, although somewhat fortified, since it is the port of Caracas, the capital, and in addition a large proportion of the customs duties are received there. ‘The revision of the Bible, which was commenced in 1870, is now completed, and the present month will witness the publication of the Apocryvhal â€" books, the last of the labors of the learned body of men who began their work beâ€" tween _ twentyâ€"five and twentyâ€"six years ago. The original board was comâ€" prised of members from almost every denomination of the Christian church, who for learning and ability have rareâ€" ly been equaled in the history of scholâ€" arship. Many of the most eminent of them have passed away not seeing the fruition of their labors, but their places were filled and the work is now done. While this translation is more CIU!~ cally exact than any that has preceded it, and has the commendation of scholâ€" ars, it has not supplanted and probably will not supplant the authorized verâ€" sion, which has been for three centuries the pride and admiration of the English world. It is the glory of English litâ€" erature, and in its pages has been found the consolation and the hope of t°" generations of mankind. The issue of the revised version has been enormous, but it has had no appreciable effect on the circulation of the authorized verâ€" sion, which is greater now than ever before. Undoubtedly the old . version contains many errors and wrong tTADâ€" slations, but it is so firmly fixed in the hearts and consciences of the people that it can never be taken from them. Its language is imbedded in our cOinâ€" mon speech and is a part of the vernacâ€" ular we learn from our mothers. Neverâ€" theless the new version is one to he read and studied by all who would > familiar with the greatest literature known to men.

Between the drouth, fly, grasshopper, and lice, turnips cerâ€" tainly had a severe trial, yet the yield will be an average one, although the roots are smaller in size than usual. Mangels will also be small it size, zet yield will be above an average. t correspondents speak mvonbm the yield and quality of carrots.

Its growth during the latter part of summer and early fall was rapid. In the dry sections of the west its value as a suplement to pasture was most markâ€" ed. One correspondent says:â€"‘"In the year 1895 it was corn that saved the farmers of Ontario." Corn growing for husking yieclded as high as 120 bushels of Py on io REv in ears per acre in some southâ€"western townships.

Spring Wheat.â€"This crop is on the decline in Ontario in acreage, in yield, and, many think., in quality. In both west and east the quality was hardly up to the average, many reporting it light in weight, shrunken, and discolâ€" oured.

Barley.â€"Reports on barley are varâ€" ied, both as to quantity and quality, more so than in the case of the other grains. The quantity on the whole is up to the average, but the grain is reported from most sections as being plump, but discoloured. There appears to be very little brightâ€"coloured barâ€" ley. The straw was short and light in contraction. The reports this fall inâ€" dicate an increased acreage sown to fall wheat. A few report a decrease; many report the same as sown a year ago; but the majority report an inâ€" crease of from 10 to 30 per cent, The crop was put in under most favourable conditions. Some sowing took place as early as August 25th; some as late as October Ist; but the bulk of the crop was sown about September 15th. On the whole October was not very faâ€" vourable to the crop. The early growth was retarded, and the general condiâ€" tion was not the most favourable at the beginning of November, although much desired rains and more fayourâ€" able weather were just then promisimg an improvement. ’I‘l’m report, then, may be summed up thus.:â€"Increased acreâ€" age ; fair condition. ‘The following reaâ€" sous ure given for the increased acreâ€" age:â€"Shortage of straw this year; deâ€" creasing production of spring wheat; very favourable condition of weather and of soil in September; hope for betâ€" ter wheat prices.

The yields are based on the actual threshing returns reported to the Buâ€" reau of Industries by correspondents. The Weather.â€"In regard to temperaâ€" ture, the principal _ features may be stated briéfly as follows:â€"The average of the ten months ending October 3ist, was lower than in 1894, but just equal to the average of the period 1882â€"94 ; the months of February, March, and Octoâ€" ber were much below the average; the six growing months were about the same as in 1894, in both cases above the average. As regards precipitation, the general condition was as follows: â€"In January, August, and September alone did the fall of snow and rain equal the average. There was & deâ€" ficiency of nearly oneâ€"third of the usual the general condition was as follows : â€"In January, August, and September alone did the fall of snow and rain equal the average. There was a deâ€" ficiency of nearly oneâ€"third of the usual rainfall in October, the deficiency | in the six growing months _ was three inches, or nearly 20 per cent., and the total deficiency in the ten months was 4.94 inches, or 18 per cent. If the preâ€" vious November and December weaâ€" ther reports be included, the results for the entire year, from November 1st to October 3ist in each case, are as 10‘â€" lows:â€"Average temperature in 1895, 42.8 degrees; in 1894, 44.8 degrees; in 1882â€"94, 42.6 degrees. In the matter of rainfail, the results are as follows:â€" In 1895, a total precipitation of 25.67 inches; in 1894, 32.20; in 1882â€"94, 83.02. The conclusion, then, for the year past is that there was an unusual variation in temperature, and a large deficiency of rain and snowfall. Afmrt. from the extraordinary frosts of May, the grealâ€" est drawback to farm operations in 1895 has been the unusual Jack of rainfall. acres; it dropped to 864 following year.

There was a dropâ€" ping of from 1894 of over 1,700,000 tons. ‘This deficiency represents a loss greatâ€" er than the value of the entire wheat crop of the province. There has been a shortage of straw also. The | corn crop, however, has been extraordinariâ€" ly larfie. and in many cases will help to make up for the loss of coarse fodâ€" der.

The genâ€" eral expression of opinion is that the rate of wages cannot rise, but must fall in sympathy with the low prices prevailing for all kinds of farm produce. There is a marked tendency to hire for shorter terms, as, apart from periods when there is a rush of work, farmers are endeavoring to do without hired assistance. _ Imported farm hel{) is usually not up to the stanâ€" dard. t would seem, from what corâ€" respondents say, as if easier times and more sightseeing. in the towns and cities, and shorter hours as school teachâ€" ers, clerks, etc., had great influence in attracting girls from the farm, and hence the continued scarcity of domesâ€" tic servants in the rural portions of the province.

There appears, however, to be a tenâ€" dency to hold wheat and other grains for an advance in price, and a number of correspondents assert that sales have heen made only when there was a presâ€" sure for cash. . Low prices are leading farmers to feed more grain to live stock, and a large quantity of barley and peas will be disposed off in that way. For this reason it will be hard to estimate what proportion of the grain crops will be le{t in the farmers‘ hands for sale later in the season.

Good feed and good water with shade are almost all that are needed from spring until fall, if the fowls can be given a good range with healthy stock to begin with and then good treatment is given them, they will need no artificial preparations Only Gcod Treatment Necessary When farmers recognize that wool is not the only product of sheep they will improve their flocks and make larger profits. While there are indiâ€" vidual sheep with good records as producers of beavy fleeces, yet the average clipping of wool is not over four imunds per sheep, due to breedâ€" ing sheep that can thrive on scanty pastures and ignoring size. The presâ€" ent flocks can be almost entirely changâ€" ed in two seasons, and at less expense than with any other class of sLo:‘fi. In England the farmers have ceased to attach importance to wool, breeding for mutton and lamb, with wool as a secondary product, and the long exâ€" perience of the English farmersshould be a guide to farmers in this country. In England the farmer pays a high rent and uses roots asa special food for sheep, the object being to produce a mutton of choice quality. In our large markets choice mutton sells readâ€" ly, but it must be admitted that the large number of inferior shee that reach the markets assist in Y:ccping down Prices to a certain extent, yet those farmers who have sent good ones to market have not been disappointâ€" ed in profits. ly, b large reach down those Money in Mutton. The best time to buy sheep is in late summer or fall. It will soon be in order to couple sheep, and as carly lambs add largely to the profit the management of sheep in the fall is as important as during any other season. The ram should be pure bred and proâ€" cured from a flock where the sheep are thrifty. All ewes that are not roâ€" bust, or which show the least evidence of unsoundness, should be discarded. By careful selection and bringing the ewes into the winter in good condition they will have no difficulty in withâ€" standing the cold, and their lambs will be strong and thrifty in the early porâ€" tion of the year. Dogs cun be kept from sheep by judicious use of barbed wire, the lower strand being on the ground or buried two inches beneath the surface, and the next strand four inches above the lower one. Sheep do not often receive injury from barbed wire, the wool being a protection. If dogs can be kept from sheep they can be raised with but little labor, and will partially _ support themselves while plants are growing, both weeds and grass being consumed by them, and they will enrich the soil with their droppings, which are evenly distributâ€" ed and trodden in. "One of the hardest things to do just now is to get the lambs on a grain diet. It is quite essential that they should be fed grain by the time cold weather comes, and it takes conâ€" siderable good management to put them on the grain diet successfully," says E. P. Smith. " New grain is genâ€" erally injurious to them because they are not used to it. New corn undiâ€" gested may kill a lamb, or make half a flock sick and bring on inflammation of the bowels. A young lamb knows no more how to eat grain than a baby unâ€" derstands how to chew meat. In eithâ€" er case the habit of using food proâ€" perly must be taught. If the child should swallow the meat without masâ€" ticating it he would suffer as a conseâ€" quence, and so with the lambs. A great muny think that moist bran is the best grain diet to give to the lambs at first, but soft, mushy food is apt to cause trouble in the stomach as hard, lump grain. Oats and bran mixed together cause the least trouble. Corn is not m good grain to begin with, unless it is ground into meal. A few oats with moist bran sprinkled in them . will tempt the lambs as much as any grain, and Lheg will suffer the least from such a diet. A little bran should be scattered around the feeding trough to tempt them to try the grain. After licking up this they will begin to eat the oats and bran mixed â€" together. Lambs should be fed a grain diet very carefully. Give them at first just enough to tempt them to come again. Do not overfeed them with grain. One false step in this direction may cost you the lives of several of the choicest animals. When they come readily to the feeding trough when called the diet chould be increased a trifle each day, but they should not be placed upon a full diet of all that they will eat up clean inside of a month. If they are fed all they can eat in iwo weeks after first tempted with grain they are apt to have some bowel trouble that will make them weak all through the winter. The time of feeding should be at regular stated inâ€" tervals. Irregularity in the time and quantity of the food are sources of a great deal of trouble with the winter lambs. Oats and bran should be fed the first week or two, and then wheat or rye can be mixed in and after a month corn can be fed. The latter grain is the hardest for the lambs to digest, and it should not be made a part <of their grain diet until their stomachs have Lbecome â€" accustomed to coarse food."
