d. r. Locke (Nasby) tells, in the
Toledo Blade, how he was converted
by Redpath on tho Irish question.
Redpath only said, Come with me. ,
He declined TO argue; he merely
showed Mr. Locke a series of pic
lures, of rags and starvation, of des-
titution indescribable, of misery be-
yond the power Of tongue OF pcl 70
depict. He counted, in q five miles,
drive, five hundred women without
shoes or stockings walking in the
cold mud. In Fermoy, q tolerably
prosperous village for Ireland, the
women not only had neither shoes
nor stockings, but they had scarcely
anything to wear. Locke saw evict-
ed tenants-hungry, barefooted, bare
legged, and bare headed women,
and pretty womenat that-trudging
along the cold wet road in a drench-
ing rain-storm. Aud next he saw a
flying squadron of 150soldiers-fne
looking fellows. well fed, well noun
ted and well armed with loaded car
bines-riding away from the scene
of an eviction. Redpath invited
| Nasty into a typical cabin, where
in its single room, 10 feet by II, with
hole in the wall for window, the
wet earth for floor, n smoky fire
place in one corner, he introduced
him to its seven occupants. About
the fire three or four children. dress
ed in scanty cotton slips, were hud-
died. In another corner there was
a brood Of chickens, and a pig re-
peatedly poked his snout in at a
loosc-hanging door. The little hold
| ing attached to the cabin had been
improved by three generations OF
family tenants from three shillings
to forty shillings per acre year. In
America Mr. Locke thought the land
for which the tenant pays $40 per
acre rent might sell for 81 per acre!
In another cabin Mr.. Locke saw a
bed consisting of four posts driven
into the ground, some stringers COW
cred with rough boards, and on the
boards dry leaves and heather COW
cred by some old potato sacks. This
is the manner of living of the Irish
people, against whom Mr.. Gladstone
is employing the resources Of civili-
zation.' When Mr.. Locke entered
the Emerald Isle he was prejudiced
against the Irish. He says be tried
to convince Mr.. Parnell that he was
a demagogue; that the Irish had no
reason for agitation; that Ireland
could only be properly ruled by the
English; and that they ought to be
thankful to the kind Providence
that had given them superior race
to protect and care for them. After
a few days with Redpath, Locke
was wet, weary and mad. The
DAYS sights, he SAYS, were too hor-
rible for talk Mr.. Locke will not
dispute any more with Parnell.

Notes ON Farm Stock

1t is nearly time to consider the
winter feeding of farm stock, at leasl
this is the month to make all the
plans and get everything in order
for the cold season that will soon be
at hand. The question of winter
feeding in all its bearings is an i'm
portant one. There is constant
outgo of fodder, and the problem is
to so govern the expenditure that
the best returns may be Obtained
Not only must the animals be kept,
but they must be kept areli, that the
opening of the new year of pastur-
age may not find them run down, OF
as it is termed ''springpoor'" Aside
from bringing the stock through in
a healthy and vigorous. condition,
there is the manure to be consider
ed.-This should be a good dividend
upon the winters outlay. and there
fore it should have a place in the
plans for the winter feeding. 1t
cannot be too strongly urged, that
the best manure is made under cov-
er. The same system which gives
the best protection and care to the
animals will insure the most salts
factory returns in the manure from
them.-Fsediag for manure is more
ard more to be a leading factor in
the winter keeping of farm animals.
A plenty of the best feed, a free sup
ply of pure water, and warm quar-
tiers, are three essentials in profitable
winter farming. This does not mean
that the animals shall be in the
stalls and stables all the time, but it
does preclude that out-of- door,
straw-stack feeding when the ami
mails must stand in unprotected,
shivering groups the whole night
through. Sheds--and good ones
will pay for themselves in the better
manure that will be made in them
not to mention the ccoi.omv in
food for the animals thus protected.
