Education, cultivation and legislation
each have their advocates as the special
means of improving the condition of the
agricultural masses. This much at least
is true, that cultivation and legislation
viii be the better if based upon educa-
ton, since that man who is not a good
cultivator himself, cannot be a good leg
islature for his class. When the agri-
cultural class says There should be
more farmers in our legislative halls,
since the interests of agriculture are so
closely connected with the general pros
perity of the country" they tell truth
that the candid professional man readily
admits. Yet some of our best and
ablest farmers declare that they are not
competent to legislate againat the rep
resentatives of various corporations.
The best stock you can invest In Is
farm stock; the best shares, plowshares +;
the best banks, the fertile banks Of rural
streams, since the more the latter are
broken, the better dividends they return
on the investment.

Plowins aIatches--A Suggestion.

1t has been suggested by a number of
the leading plowmen of Howick that it
would be good idea to hold an annual
meeting of all interested in good plOw-
ing, and that the gathering be held at
the season of the year when all would
have time to attend. Matters In con-
nection with the annual plowing match
could then be talked over, and rules and
regulations could then be drawn up or
amended as was felt necessary. The
interest In such enterprise could be kept
alive, and money to form a fund for
prizes could more easily be raised IN the
winter than In any other season of the
year. As it has been In the past, there
has been no interest taken in plowing
matches until a few days before it be-
comes necessary to hold them, then the
notice Is so short that not sufficient time
is given to collect sufficient funds to
offer prizes worth competing for. But if
the present suggestion be acted upon,
and match settled upon now, it will
act as a stimulent to all plOwmen to do
their best all the season through, in order
that they may be in good practice for
the match, thereby encouraging better
plovmen upon the farms at home. In
order to make such gatherings more
agreeable and social, an annual dinner
might form part of the programme, and
take the nlace of the dinner now Gus
tomarv at the annual fall exhibitions.

Golden Silence.

"Speeeh is silvern but silence is gold
en-" saith the proverb. Certainly tai
ent for holding ones tongue deserves high
rank among negative virtues. Many a
man passes for wise simply by saying
nothing, and those who talk least make
fewest enemies. True, we sometimes
may repent our silence, but such repent
ance is rare compared to the frequency
with which we array ourselves In mental
sackcloth because of incautious speeches.
To adopt the rule once given to talk
ative girl by friend who knew the world,
" Never speak of yourself, and never
say anything which is unnecessary, /"
would seem at first likely to make Car
thusian monks and nuns of us all; yet it
is to be questioned whether the advice
were not wise. There are always people
who like to talk, and good listeners are
rare. It is said Macaulay once rode half
a day in coach with deaf mute, whom
he afterwards pronounced a person of re-
markably sound political views, and
Madame de Stael on one occasion was In
duced to harangue wax figure for an
hour, under the impression that it (the
figure was a gentleman who admired her
writings, and had expressed desire to
become acquainted with the author.
These stories may or may not be facts;
certain it is, both of the great personages
in question were fond of hearing them
selves talk, and sufficiently egotistical not
to notice whether their remarks elected
more than silent acquieseence on the part
of others.

Next to wine, cider is the liquor most
consumed in France, but, within the last
twenty years the consumption has fallen
from forty-twO to thirty-fve gallons per
head annually. It's use is now confined
to the northwestern departments. The
consumption of beer steadily increases,
but is almost entirely confined to the de
partments contiguous to Belgium. Ex-
perience has demonstrated that white
wines are much more likely than red to
act on the nervous system.

It should be an object with all to
raise the yield of their harvests to the
highest possible maximum. No man
should rest content with raising the poor
est crops or the meanest animals in the
town. The times in which we live de-
mand that our farms should produce
more and at less cost. Agriculture Is
the greatest of our American interests.
1t should be the pride and aim of each
individual farmer to contribute his best
effort towards making the nation prosper
GUS, thereby insuring comfort and happi-
ness to each and all Of its citizens.

grapevine from Santa Barbara, Califor-
MIA, which attracted great attention. The
Trade Journal lately noticed mons
trous bunch of grapes, exhibited in Sam
Francisco, from an of-shOot Of this vine,
planted sixteen years ago. This cluster
of grapes is reported to have weighed one
hundred and twenty-five pounds, was six
feet in circumference and eight feet long,
The vine itself is said to produce from
ten to twelve thousand pounds of grapes
annually.

This Sarsaparilla is a combination of
vegetable alteratives-St -StilIingia, Man
drake, Y elbow Dock-with the Iodides
of Potassium and Iron, and is the
most eficacious medicine yet known
for the diseases it is intended to cure.
Its ingredients are so skilfully
combined that the full alternative
effect of each is assured, and while
it is so mild as to be harmless even
to children, it is still so effectual as
to purge out from the system those
impurities and corruptions which
develop into loathsome disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures, and the confidence
which prominent ply all over
the country repose in it proves their
experience Oh IT'S uSe1u1uSSs.
Certificates attesting its virtues
have accumulated, and are con-
stantly being received, and as many
of these cases are publicly known,
they furnish convincing evidence of
the superiority of this Sarsaparilla
over every other Alternative medicine.
So generally is its superiority to any
other medicine known that we need
do no more than to assure the public
that the best qualities it has ever
possessed are strictly maintained.
