OCTOBER 7.—The paid week has given us a continuation
of growing weather, and crass Is getting very plentiful. So
much have thing, altered, that it seems safe to predict
that hay will be no dearer next Lady Day than now. With
a general reluctance to Iwo* through the regular rotation
of crops and n belief that the worst is past as regards
scarcity of Loop. I find that the idea of sowing clover two
yars In auccessfon is not, as a rule, adopted in this locality.
Whilst everyone acknowledges that wheat has become one
of the cheapest as well as the best of cane foods—would
you believe it I—there are many amongst us who refuse to
use it for this purpose, because, say they, to do AO would be
a sin, and would assuredly bnng down upon us the
vengeance of Providence. It is by no means an uncommon
remark. Its acknowleilgol that wheat given to cattle is
another way of producing food for man, but there is the
strange notion and you cannot move it. "Tn. yea,
know it is a good, cheap food, but I should not like to use
it." No objection is raised to malting wheat, that is all
right. In whatever way it is given to cattle it must first
of all be bruised or ground, and then it. use may be very
vitriol. It is not easy to meet with many people who Can
give their experience in using it; at any rate I find it so.
I am mixing barley and wheat meal in coma proportions
for pigs and giving it them liberally mixed with diseased
potatoes and parsnips, which I boil and pass through a
mill, and I never saw animals put on fat so fast A neigh-
bour of mind is corning his horses with a bushel of wheat
and bean meal mixed, and he finds that they are doing
very well. For cows and sheep, wheat should be ground
or bruised and mixed with wetted chaff. A gantlet:sea
who has used wheat meal lofore says that he mixes one
peck of flour to • bushel of oatmeal and uses it in the
ordinary way. We are to-day having a transom:ions
fall of rair„ which was preceded by • Tiniest gale of
wind.

THE PRINCE OF WALIN AS A FREEMASON.
Speaking at • Masonic meeting in the city of London.
on Saturday night, Bro. Fenn. Pd I. D.C.. stud—l have no
doubt, from the interest the Prince of Wales takes ia it,
that lab heart is full of Freemasonry. It struck me as
marvellous the peculiar manner which he ;penned the
pointa bearing on Freemasonry, and I am quite sure of
this, that he will be the moat popular Grand Master that
has occupied that potition fir a century before. His
many genial qualities peculiarly fit hint for the office, and
I am quite sure he will be a great favourite among Free-
mason,. I has-c no doubt that the step which his Royal
Highness has taken in accepting the office will not only
be acceptable to masons, hut to the people of England,
who are a liberty loving People, who will rejoice in this
act of defiance on the part of the Prince of Wale{ againot
tho im.ricreaca a a foreign potentate with the liberty
of Conscience of England.
