This Canada Of Ours.

as a National Song for the Dominion o.
Canada.l
Let other tongues, in other lands,
Loud vaunt their claims 20 glory,
And chant in triumph of the past,
Content to live in story;
Though Boosting no baronial halls,
Nor ivy-crested towers,
What past can match thy glorious youth,
Fair Canada of Ours?
Fair Canada, dear Canada,
This Canada of Ours
We love those iar-ofi Ocean Isles,
Where Brltain's monarch reigns
Well ne'er forget the good old bleOd
That courses through our veins.
Proud Scotia's fame, old Erin's name,
Aud naughty Albion's powers
Reflect their matChless lustre ON
This Canada Of Ours.
Far Canada, dear Canada,
This Canada OF Ours
May our Dominion flourish then,
A gUodly land aud free,
Where Ceit aud Saxon, hand IN hand
Hold sway from sea TO sea.
Strong arms shall guard our cherished
home,
When darkest danger lowers,
And with our Likelihood wen defend
This Canada of Ours.
Fair Canada, dear Canada,

will not; in exceptional cases, it will.
The farmer who has only the mongrel,
common mares of the country, cannot
afford to pay the prices demanded for
the services of a tirst.clas trottlng
stallion; and if he should decide to
incur this expense, in ninety-nine cases
out of a hundred he will be disappoiut-
ed IN the result Should he patronize
any of the cheap, quick mon
grel little stations with which the
country abounds, in the hope OF rals-
ing trotter, he is almost certain to be
disappointed, and the progeny will be
comparatively worthless. True, there
is now and then an exceptional case,
when horse of unknown lineage has
proven a valuable trotter; but the
chances for success III this style of
breeding are about equal to those of
drawing the capital prize in the Royal
Havana Lottery" by investing in
tickets in that institution.
But If mares of unmlstakable and
decided trotting action, showing points
of good breeding and strong individ-
uality, can be obtained, and stallion
known to be deeply bred in trotting
strains, and showing decided trotting
action himself, is within reach, then
the chances are that it will pay to at
tempt to breed trotters. And if, in
addition to the foregoing, the mares
are known to possess as good share
of the blood of some of the well-known
trottiHg families-the Messengers,
Bashaws, Morgans, Clays, Pilots, or
Mambrinos-then the judioious selec-
tlon of stallion is pretty certain to
produce satisfactory results. 1t need
not be expected that every foal thus
produced will prove "world beaten, 7"
because only the fastest among the fast
are the tCinners !; but good trotters
and road horses will usually be the re-
suit, and you are in the legitimate sue
cession for winner. But it will not
do for the farmer or his boys to spend
time or money III training the foals
thus produced. 1t will be found
more profitable to sell these well-bred
youngsters at fair, remunerative rates,
and leave the training to the profess
SIGNALS who have the requisite skill to
prepare them for the track. 1t has
been remarked that "the American
trotter is the creation of the American
trainer 1t requires skill, judgment,
and perseverance to develop the high
est rate of speed in the trotting horse.
Training trotting horses has become
profession, and we do not recommend
farmers to spend their time in compe-
titiOn with those who make this their
sole business.
Under the circumstances above de-
scribed, with well bred mares and good
stallion, and selling off the foals when
young, the farmer can scarcely engage
in more profitable business than in
breeding trottjng horses. But the
great mass of farmers, owning
only the mOngrel, clumay mares of the
country will find more certain profit in
breeding large horses, patronizing the
Norman or Clydesdale stations, or
large well-formed thoroughbred if
within reach, producing good draft and
coach horses that always find a ready
sale at remunerative prices.-LiUe

Apples without Flowers and yi,bou
Cores.

Mr.. Thomas Meehan, Mt a late meet
ing of the Academy of Sciences, Phila
delphla, presented am apple, which
was borne by tree 1T Kittaning. in
pennsylvania, and which tree never
produced flowers i'll the popular accep-
tance of the term; but always Welded
an abundance of fruit Mr.. NJ. said
there was no novelty in this circum-
stance, as similar cases had been placed
ON record but the specimen furnished
practical illustration of some NOR
biological truths which could not
often be demonstrated in the way this
afforded an opportunity of doing.
III was admitted that a fruit was a
branch with its accessory leaves, trans.
formed. The apple fruit was made up
OF series of whorls of leaves COM
prIsing five each. Cutting am apple
through, we found Il series of five
formed the carpets containing the seed.
Several series of whoris, very much
retarded in development, probably
formed the stamens, bus tins could
not be well seen in the apple fruit. as
they seemed to be almost absorbed in
the curolla series. This vas the next
in order that appeared in the divided
apple-the green curved iibrous line
which we find III all apples midway
between the score" and the "rind y
is the dividing line between the series
which forms rhe corolla, and the outer
series which forms the calyx. In this
tree there are no pistils, the series
which usually goes TO make up this
part of the fruit structure being either
very documentary or entirely wanting.
Hence there was no "coro - TO the
fruit The result OF this want of de-
velopment was that the usual calyx
basin of the apple was in this case oc-
cupied by q cavity three-quarters of an
inch across. There were no petals
but in place five gland or rather bud
scale.llkeprocesses, ut regular distances,
on the edge of the green librous outline
before referred to. The outer whorl
which usually forms the calyx. was
almost asepalOus, as mere scarious
membrane marked the place where the
calyx segment or scpals should have an.
peared. Il was so easy in this specimen
10 trace the dividing line between the
outer or calycine whori and the inner
or corolline whorl, which uniting and
becoming succulent formed the popular
apple fruit, that it was worthy of note
in this connection
The most interesting features in this
specimen was what were probably,
from their similarity in appearance,
work cells, formed abundantly on the
outside of the apple. IL would seem,
that, with the lack of development in
the inner series Of whorls necessary to
the perfect fruit, those which remained
were liable to take on somewhat the
character Of bark structure.

No MORE HEROES. -The deadly
vegetable alkaloids, such as Mercury,
Strychnlne, and Prussic Acid, cannot
cure disease or produce any but the
most disastrous results. Perhaps no
event has occurred of late years which
is so well calculated to disabuse the
public mind of belief il the efficacy
of mineral poisons and bleeding as the
discovery of DIR. Walker, of California,
of certain medicinal herbs, whose heal
ing principles he has extracted and
combined in the form of VINEGAR BT-
TERs The cures wrought by it seem
marvellous. Its action is mild and
agreeable, but at the same time rapid and
effectual, and being unimpeded by the
presence of alcohol or fermented liquor
of any description, is attended with
results hitherto unachieved by any
remedial agent. The cures of Bilious
Complaints, Malarious Fever, Dyspep-
STA, rheumatism, Scrofula, and all
diseases arising from impurities of the
blood, attest the paramount excel.
lence of this medicine, and justify us
in recommending lt.-COm.
