Tue BRITISH COLUMBIA JOURNALS on THE Russian
TREATY.-The Morning Nescs. a daily paper pub
lishcd on Vancouver Island, has an editorial on
the Russian treaty. in which the Importance of the
cession of territory is fully recognized. The writer
takes a very Responding view of matters, and
thinks il was deliberately planned as u preparation
for war, and that both sides were awre that diff
culties would arise between the British and Amer
lean Governments on questions arising out of from

much more important fact than many persons may
suppose. and we believe IL has not been cOnSum-
mated without a clear realization of the complIcd-
tions and International difficulties TO which it seems
almost certainly destined to give rise. Great Britain

CHANGE OF SEEDs.-I made many inquir-
les and collected quite number of items,
facts or at least supposed facts in relation to
the change OF farm crop seeds, but as it would
require entirely too much space to give the
details of a tenth part of them, | must con-
tent myself by giving simple statement of
tn; conclusions | arrived at, based, OF course,
upon tie statements detailed to Inc. 1t APP
pears that any farm crop, as wheat, for exam
pie, may be much improved by culture on a
farm with appropriate soil; but there is a
limit to this improvement to this variety,
which | will designate variety A, on this
farm, which | will designate as farm No. l..
After the limit of improvement has been at
taine1 on No. |. it will then, for a series of
years, remain stationary, and after that, even
with the best culture, will deteriorate. But
If. when 1t has attained its limit No. l, it
is then transferred TO farm No. 2, then it will
improve again on No. >, etc. While the
variety \, is deteriorating on farm No. L, the
variety b, under proper treatment from farm
No >, or 3, will improve by the side of it.
Hence, the German farmers have adopted
system OF seed exchanges and are anxious to
obtain seed from foreign countries. They
seem to have given this subject great deal of
attention, ana taken into account the kind of
soil, metcorology, and level above the sea
where the seeds were grown, and am inclined
to think they make it point to obtain good
seed from elevated regions grown on an infer
Tor soil. The exchanges are conducted most
" by the local agricultural societies. The
>Onderhausen Agricultural Association have
made many experiments in the exchange of
seeds. and now recommend as the result OF
their experience, that - seed from a good
rich soil to a cold and Indifferent one is prof
liable, and rice Uersd."

The Use of the PlOw i'm Draining

After such a season as we have just expe-
rienced wet in one section and dry in an
other-farmers consider thorough draining
to see If the claims of its advoca ties are really
true and if the distressed tillers both of wet
and dry soils may not find in it panacea for
their troubles
We encounter one stubborn fact at outset
namely that draining is expensive, even if
we put the drains barely below the reach OF
frost and the plow. Next, we are forced
Ipon another fact, which 10 sophistry can
badge. that the most expensive draining is
shallow draining As we make up our minds
20 do deep draining, the fact is turned up
with each spadeful of earth. which. if We
heed it, teaches that thOrcughness and cheap
mss in the long run are Identical. That Is,
reasonable expense for thoroughness' sake is
the strictcst economy.
E7ery farmer VINO wants to dig a ditch,
thinks of his plow, for it will turn out the
soil ten inches deep with comparative ease
If mqn is to have a ditch four feet deep
dug with spades, he ought try to move as
little earth as possible. and as sixteen inches
has been fOun TO be the least width that
man can uork in. he should try to have his
ditch no wider Ii he can use plows, to IA
cilItate his work. he need not be so particu-
lar about this. although a narrow ditch-the
narrowcst possible-is best under all cir

that will cut light inches. and Law the slice

stick like short bean pole, as long as the

big iron washer. In blowing, the team is
driven so that the end will drag along the
edge of the first furrow, and aids the judg-
ment of the plowman materially in d-ter-
mining the width of the slice. Men must
follow and throw the sods out. The trench
will now take pillow of the largest size, and
it shouli be drawn by two yokes of oxen, or
two pairs OF horses, working so as to tread
neither in the trench nor on the sod near the
edge. This is accomplished in either of two
ways.. Each team may draw Independently.
one upon each side of the ditch, being at
tached TO the plow by Iog-chain, and the
chains feing braced apart, so that the draft
shall be reasonably true, that is, parallel to
the line of draft. The other way is to work
the oxen upon ten foot yokes, and the horses
of each pull upon long eveners, they being
driven by outside reins only, and the heads
of each p,ir being held apart by stick.
The large pillow may be run in the ditch
two, three, or four times. according to the

soil, or it may be best to use q smaller one,
and as comparatively little earth can be
thrown out by the pillow, men must follow,
and shovel as fast as the earth is loosened-
After the loose earth is removed to the depth
of twelve to eighteen inches, according to its
character, sub-soil pillow will be found of
more service than surface pillow. With
this, We can work down, little by little, into
the hard pan. go large force of hands is
not needed when the sub-soil pillow is used,
for the earth broken up by this plow does not
interfere with its deeper working as is the
case when the surface pillow is used. The
observation-disclosures of the sub soil plow
is limited, both by the difficulty Of blowing
In very hard ground with the pillow two or
three feet below the team and in the ham

There are, however, plows constructed to run
deep enough to be of very essential service to
a depth OF about three feet.
