Steam PloughinS.

1t is a singular fact, that with all
the practical progressive ingenuity
to which as u nation we are Justly
entitled, we are behind old Egypt in
availing ourselves OF the very i'm
portant advantages Of steam plough
ing. In the cultivation of large
tracts Of land steam ploughiDg is
undoubtedly more efficient, as well
as economical, than the present sys-
TEN. Our English cousins fully ap-
preciate this. There are in Eng
land several different establishments Is
employing over twelve hundred men
each in the manufacture of steam
ploughs. The plan found to work
best in Great Britain, is to have Or
ganized companies who hire, ont
their steam machines and do the
work by contract, and it is said that
more than five hundred steam
ploughs are thus held for hire. The
success of the experiment is proved
by its working on tract of five
hundred acres near London. So
poor was this land deemed that it
would not bring rent of three dol
lars per acre, but after being plough
ed by steam it brought a clear profit
of $4,000 on grain crops. Scot
land also finds no difficulty in ma
king steam ploughing pay" In
Germany the same mechanical force
meets with general approval, while
further in the East the Pacla Of
Egypt employs four hundred of
these ploughs.
In those countries the lands are
old, and thoroughly freed from all
distractions, which may account for
the more extensive use of steam
ploughs. Then, again, the land be-
ing held in immense estates, the
proprietors are able to purchase and
use them with great economy. when
their expensiveness would preclude
small land owners from the possi-
bility of availing themselves of their
advantages.
But our western prairies are nat.
urally level and free from obstruc-
tions, and there seems to he no ex-
isting reason for their not being
ploughed by steam other than the
reason which causes the Turk of
Asia Minor and the Greasers so.
Mexico, to-day, to use a wooden
plough instead of an iron oncAto-
wit, thriftless ignorance. The use
of the steam plough is no longer an
experiment, as the above Englisll
statistics prove. 1t but remains,
therefore, for our western farmers
to club together and purchase them,
using them first for themselves, and
then doing their neighbors' plough
ing by contract, making money by
the operation. II the members of
a new colony, for instance, would
and purchase one of these |
ploughs, it will do more ploughing |
in a single day, then all the men to-
gether, leaving the laborers free to |
perfect all the other details neces I
sary to establishing themselves; or
private individuals might purchase
hem and plough by contract, as it
s done in many instances, with
'eapers and mowers, and almost
Universally with threshing machines.

. win perfect certainty that
it will eradicate the disease, and with assur-
ance, founded on proof, that no harm can
arise from its use in any quantity.
That which protects from or prevents this
disorder must be of immense service in the
communities where it prevails. Prerention
is better than cure; for the patient escapes the
risk which he must run in violent attacks of
this baleful distemper. This "CUREn expels
the miasmatic poison of Fever and Agus
from the system, and prevents the develop
ment Of the disease, if taken on the first
approach Of its premonitory symptoms. A
great superiority Of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and cer-
tain cure of InterInittents is, that 1t contains
no Quinine or mineral; consequently It pro-
duces no quinism or other injurious effects
whatever upon the constitution. Those cured
by it are left as healthy as if they had never
had the disease. -
Fever and Ague is not alone the con-
sequence of the miasmatic poison. A great
variety of disorders arise from its irritation,
among which are Neuralgia, Rheuma.
TO0thAche, Earache, Catarrh, Asth.
ma, Palpitati0n, Painful Affection
of the Spleen, Mysteries, Pain in the
1sOW 1ASs Svhtfs - - bASs anu uCi einSC-
ment of the Stomach, all of which, when
originating in this cause, put on the inter
mittent type, or become periodical. This
"CURE" expels the poison from the blood,
and consequently cures them all alike. 1t is
an invaluable protection to immigrants and
persons travelling or temporarily residing in
the malarious districts. If taken occasion
ally or daily while exposed to the infection,
that will be excreted from the system, and
cannot accumulate in sufficient quantity to
yipen into disease. Hence it is even more
valuable for protection than cure; and few
will ever suffer from Intermittents if they
avail themselves Of the protection this rem
edy affords. " lJl41.
For Liver Complaints, arising from torpid,
ity Of the Liver, it is an excellent remedy,
stimulating the Liver into healthy activity,
and producing many truly remarkable cures,
where other medicines fail.

CLOSE OF TIE EXAMINATIONS.


The Public School examinations which have
been 80 successfully carried on during the week
came to a close Yesterday. Nos. 8, 10 and IA
underwent close and rigid examination, which
showed that their merits were fully equal TO
those examined in the beginning. OF the week.
In No. 10, Messrs. Shortlidge and Frock made
encouraging remarks. The standard Of spelling
in this school WAS fully equal to any other in the
city, though the scholars had all entered since
April Miss Steward is principal Of this school.
In No. 8, MIR. Isaac ]. Jenkins was the only
member of the Visiting and Examining Commit
tee present, but the exercises here were equally
interesting. and showed rapid progress on the
part OF the pupils, for which Miss Justia, the
principal and her able assistants, are entitled TO
much credit. Mr. Jenkins complimented the
teachers and scholars and at the close dismissed
them for the day.
The exercises at No. IA, were not a whit be-
hind that OF any other school. The rapid ad-
vance made by the pupils under the Principal,
Sarah ]. Sayers, and her faithful corps OF teach
ers reflects the highest credit upon them Re-
marks were made by Messrs Culbert, Conner,
Roberts, and John p. McLear, and the schoo
dismissed.

AN ITINERANT EVANGELIST ON HIS TRAVELS.
EdwaAl U. Blake, an "Itinerant Evangelist, 4"
with horse and carriage, all looking rather
"seedy, was in town yesterday. Blake attracted
considerable attention, on account Of his eocen-
trio manner. His hat, which was Of the old "bell
crown" order, was placarded all over with scrip
tural quotations, painted In large letters and on
the breast OF his shirt, which was evidently .
stranger to the virtues Of soap and water for
many a long day, was the following inscription
on leather surface
~ love the Lord" DO you love him ?"
His carriage, too, was spread all over with
Scriptural texts, from which even the harness
on his horse was not exempt. He carried with
him large quantity of Tracts and circulars, which
he distributed very freely while in front Of the
Post Office.
In reply to the question OF bystander, he
stated that he believed the Old and New
Testament to be true, but that our Lord had ap-
peared on earth at his second coming, thirty
years ago, and that he (Blake) was writing up
and publishing a continuation of tho Bible
TO cover the time Of ChIist's second coming.
The circulars and tracts which he distributed
were said to be, Written by Inspiration, through
his chosen instrument Paalina Bates, at Wis
dom Valley, (Watervleit,) Anna Domini 1913.
His stay here was short, as he said he had a
great work to do, and driving down King Street
went in the direction Of New Castle.
