the late nor the present Speaker has
a son to inhcri: these latter advanta-

tune to lose his nephew and next

man Of extraordinary excellence and
promise, who died at Melbourne OF
consumption two years ago, after
having made a are mark in the
House of Commons, in which he rep.
resented Newark. q constituency to
which Mr.. Gladstone owed his first

The Speaker, who is a Wing, mar

alive leader, Lord George Bentincks,
brother of the Duke OF Portland,

plorcd by his party, and who has
been commcmorated in a biography

The first holder Of this great office
on record was Sir Thomas Hunger,

Mixed ~Kusbandry.

We often hear the remark that the
'Earmer is the most independent,
because he can grow all he wants TO
eat" This sounds like mdepend.
euce, to be sure, but l. is not always
carried out to this extent. The farm.
.r. like every other business man,
works for money, and will make, or
deal most extensively in those ar
ticlcs that will afford the most profit.
His business will be varied according
to the soil, climate an! market ia
c%ilitics of his location.
The farmer, every where, must
have live stock-he cannot farm with
out il. Good policy will dictate that
he should grow all the food he wants
tor this stock, and those who do the
work on the farm. including his fam
ilv. Outside Of this, he should grow
extensively such crops as he can grow
and sell to the largest profit, but not
confine himself to one, because, IT that
one fails, his business IS crippled n
~nancially, and he is in want OF funds
to carry on the next years operations
In some sections of the country
corn is the leading crop, but this fails
in some seasons, SO it is shelter TO
have q crop Of wheat, or some other
grain to fall back upon. In some
places, hay is the crop depended on
Tor money; this. too, fails sometimes.
and a rese,v We oscorn or wheat would
be valuable. In other sections, cot
ton or tobacco are the leading crops.
They too. fail sometimes, or prices
decline, so that a good crop OF corn
would help out very much. In dairy
ing districts, milk, butter or cheese
are most profitable, but these branch
es are necessarily connected with
grain growing, and are always sure
to produce a fair supply of money,
when controlled by good manage
ment. Stock r~aisers, except in some
southern localities, must necessarily
grow grass and grain.
In stock raising, just at t.e pres.
ent time. pork is very low ana every
body is killing off nearly all their
hogs: this is entirey a mistaken pol
icy. as it is sure 20 cause q scarcity
and force pnces to go up, then they
have no hogs to sell: The better
way is 70 keep Or in the even tenor
Of your ws,, raising each year such
cycns AID stock as will pay you a fair
prof., not regarding the high price
n1ethis. or the low price Of thatsarti.
Gle. We have almost invariably
found that extreme high prices OF
any particular article stimulates 6
production and entails loss on the
producer.
To sum up: A mixed system OF
Agriculture will be found to be the
safest every where. Special leading
crops may pay best sometimes. but
it is not ALWAYS safe to depend on
them. Good, clean cul,urc,-cvery
part OF the work at the right time,
and done we'll, is the best safeguard
against failures.-[Am Stock Journal

A BRITISH

A strong effort is to be male,
at the next session IT the Connect
cut Legislature, to alter the existing
basis OF representation in that State.
The singular fact IS stated, that, by
the Constitution, Representatives are
elected, not from districts apport,on
ed according to population, bat from
towns, with the proviso that all
towns, incorporated before 1855,
whatever their size. shall hive two
Representatives, while all incorpora-
t.,I since have only n each. Thus
IT,.;on, with 700 inhabitants, has
twice a. many Representatives as
Bridgeport, a city Of 10000 people.
The fisgrant injustice of allowing a
vote in Union TO countcr- "aiance %
votes in Bridgeport is so cvioeo,':hat
it seems as if the proposed reform
would be adopted at once. But the
Land OF Steady Habits clings 10 it's
reverence tor age. Under the pres
emit system, the country towns con.
troll al! legislation, and their papers

plea that the large cities are - cor
rupt that it is necessary to keep
power IS much as possible out OF
their hands. Whether this applica.
ton oflthe Jesuitical maxim Of doing
evil that good may come will DO able
to defeat the reform, is uncertain
