miles of wilderness, broken by marsh
and mountain and river peopled with
savage animals and beings of human
shape but often savage natures losing
here man by disease, there another
by desertion, and again a score or
more by the arrows and spears of
savages; living part of the time on cruel,
part Of the time on lions meat and most
OF the time on what could be found on the
way-through all these experiences young
Stanley arrived at the Victoria N'yanza
undismayed and eager to start anew into
new dangers, with a firm purpose to
achieve new discoveries. Supplement
the statement that he marched "from
Bagomaya to Kagehyi, 720 miles, in 1913
days" with thought of the obstacles in the
way and the sutferings endured, and no
one can withhold admiration for the
achievement and congratulations on the
success. Henry NJ. Stanley is not as
learned in science as some who have pre-
coded him into the wilds of Africa, but in
enthusiasm, in devotion to the interests
involved, in self-denial, courage, pluck
and determination be has proved himself
second to none. That he may accomplish
all that he hopes for and all that is hoped
of him will be the wish of all who read
his wilderness tales
We know now where Stanley was on
the 1st of March. Fast mail facilities are
not at his disposal. What he has done in
the intervening months, whether he lives,
has met success or failure, are questions
that may not be answered in many
months.-Ut5ca (N. ~ Herald.

The best farmer is he who raises the
best and largest crops on the smallest
surface of land at the least expense, and
at the same time annually improves his
soil who understands his business and
attends to it; whose manure hap is
very large and always increasing whose
cOrn-crib and smoke-house are at home /;
who is surrounded by all the necessaries
and comforts of life who studies his
profession and strives to reach perfsc-
ton in it; who keeps a strict account
Of his Outgoes as well as his incomes,
and who knows how he stands at the
end Of each season. Such farmer, in
nine times out of ten, will succeed, and
not only make farming a profitable but
pleasant occupation. Try it and sex
how it is yourself, reader.

LOOK AFTER rHE STOCK, NOW.

Cold nights and stormy days are at
hand and stock should be looked after
now, as such weather is worse than af-
ter it becomes cold and settled in win
ter. The cows feel it and instantly
shrink in the yield of milk, the calves
try to find protection IN the lee of
fences aud buildings, while the horses
will stand shivering with heads averted
from the face Of the storm The sta
bles and sheds should be got in readi-
ness for stock which should be housed
now at night, unless the weather is
mild, and it would be better for all an
finals to be in the barns during these
stormy days with half rations, than to
remain out of doors but this last should
not be, as it ought to be determined by
every farmer not to overstock for the
winter. There is neither satisfaction
nor profit in this, and plenty of feed for
all the animals, should be the motto
and greater results will be obtained from
this system of liberal feeding, than from
any pinching process that can be de-
vised.
Some animals are wintered that do
not pay for the food they consume, as
old cows or sheep, or small stunted
calves. Better get rid of these before
winter at some price, and give the food
they would eat to the remainder of the
stock.
We heard farmer remark the othel
day that he had rather have twenty
cows we'll cared for. with all they could
eat, than twenty-five kept upon the sam'
amount of food. lie was right. To-
much stock is usually kept for the amour
of food for the same, and where this i
the case profitable results cannot be re
allied. From now until winter, stock
will, If it is furnished them, consume
considerable amount of forage, and
will be better to furnish this than allo1
