erly considered the best method Of pre-.
pairing land fos the --heat crop. The
exposure Of the soil to atmospheric and
other Influences for whole season has
an excellent effect, but it is not neces-
sary. A crop may be grown, and, il
rightly attended to, the succeeding grain
crop may be as good as when preceded
by season of fallow. The good results
OF season Of fallow are the most excel
lent upon clay land. The mechanical
texture of the soil is improved by the
frequent plowing and stirring, thus
opening the soil for the free entrance OF
the air, and the better circulation of the
saltwater. These mechanical improve
ments facilitate the decomposition OF
some Of the constituents OF the soil. lib
Grating potash end other essential ele-
Ments OF plant-fcod from the locked-up
and insoluble chemical compounds of
the soil. The ammonia Of the atmos-
phere, which enters the soil with the
rain, is more readily absorbed, and, last
but not least, the vegetable matter in
The soil is more quickly and thoroughly
decomposed, and thereby made
available for sustaining the grow
ing plants. All these points arc
gained by a summer fallow upon heavy
clay soil. but with a light soil there is
no such demand fer mechanical improve
ment, and no corresponding advantage
gained in chemical point of view.
Nearly all that can be gained by year OF
clean culture is Obtained by hoed or
root crop. With it the weeds can be
killed as efeetuaily as in the falIow; tie
soil will receive cnoCgh culture to make
it sufficiently open foG tie circulation OF
air. There viii be g large gain in the
amount of nitrates ana other valuable
nitrogen compounds. IL the fallcw
these are formed during the Lct months
Of the year, and, being very soluble, are
washed out Of the soil by heavy rains,
while, if there is @ crop, the nitrates,
ETC., are taken up as food, and stored
away, to be used for some succeeding
crop. Beside, the root crop will furnish
large amount of excellent food for the
farm stock. and finally yield quantity
of valuable manure, to be returned to
the soil. With q -oot crop introduced
into the rotation, there is seldom a de-
mard for summer fallow.-Americon

The Wool Market.

Eastern advices represent the wool
market steady, with fair demand from
manufacturers. In fine washed tieeces
the feeling seems to be somewhat stron-
ger than it was in the early part of the
month, from the fact that wet and chilly
weather has delayed shearing in Ohio,
Michigan, etc. The probability is that
all the fine fleece now in the markets
will be wanted before the new clip is
available. We do not, however, notice
any appreciation III quotations. Walter
Brown & Co., Boston, say in their latest
circular that the demand there is con-
fined to fine and the better medium
grades of wool, low medium and coarse
being in light request for the present
wants of manufacturers. 1t is now clear
ly indicated that this season the mills
will run on goods requiring finer grades
Of wool, and these will doubtless meet
with quick sales at fair prices.
The market is closely sold up on
unwashed woods Of the grades
now in general use among man.
ufacturers, and new clips, as they arrive,
are quickly taken for consumption at
full quotations. The reports from Kan
sas and other Western points mention
the lighter condition of the wool this
year, and their averaging some pounds
less to the fleece than thev did last sea-
son. This falling off in the weight, in
great measure, is probably due to the
high price of grain during the past
winter, causing the growers to feed less
corn to their sheep than usual. Corn
feeding in winter makes wool, but at the
same time it makes yolk as we'll, and
adds to the shrinkage of the wool when
cleansed for working at the mill. Man
ufacturers buy all woods on an estimate
of the cost clean, and in this respect are
ready to give due credit to lots of su-
perior character, and will pay the value
in the grease, which the merits of an
improved condition will warrant. Pro-

Nickel Coins.

The small coins of the German EN-.
pire are the finest in the world. Every.
thing from a 5-pfennige piece which is
the equivalent of an American cent or an
English ha'-penny-to a half mark,
which IS so pfenniges, is of nickel, pure
and bright almost as silver, far pure1
than the American coinage. A projec,
is under consideration at the French
Ministry Of Finances for abolishing al.
together the bronze coins now in use.
The substitute will be nickel, which is
already in use in Germany and in Bel
GUM for coins of small denomination,
The popularity of the French coins,
however, will be that they will be of oc.
tagonal shape, in order that they may
not be COMPOUNDED with the silver pieces
now current. Models of 5, 10 and &c

Canada and the Queen.

ably to be fatal illness. The audience

In the brief interval she allowed herself

interruption. A tall, gaunt figure in the
crowd uprose, and, pointing at me long
finger on the end of long arm, uttered
the word "stop!" Then, facing the
audience, he exclaimed "Ladies and
gentlemen, this loyal audience will now
sing God save the Queen =" The au-
dience promptly stood up and obeyed
with genuine fervor, I meanwhile pa

the dinners are gotten up and served

meal had been prescribed by a congress
of nations and could not be violated in
the least particular. During my time
on the continent my dinners were all
exactly alike, to the minutest particu-
lar. l did not see during all this time
any bread but sea biscuit: not baked
or boiled potato; not a cake OF fruit pie
of any description; rot any cooked
fruit; not any baked meat, except veal;
not cooked egg, except boiled: not
any buildings, butter, pickles, cheese,
tea or coffee. You Will ask, what did [
have? Dinner was always as follows:
First, sea biscuit; second, soup; third,
fish; fourth, baked veal cut in slices;
fifth, peas or string beans; sixth, boiled
chicken sliced up cold; seventh, lettuce,
eighth, Strawberries. No two of the
above dishes were on the table at the
same time. You are required to be just
so long and no longer in eating each
dish. AT the ringing of little bell the
table is cleared and the next plate is
served, and so on till the end is reached.
If one does not take the dish as passed
he has to wait until the next comes
along.

Mans Relation to the Lower Animals.

Since many writer's opposed to the
practice of experiments Oh animals have
based their objections entirely on moral
grounds, and thus made the question of
vlvisection an ethical one, have been
anxious to know what laws they have dis.
covered for our guidance on this vexed
subject. They discourse on cruelty, on
immortality and On rights of animals; but
these expressions are SO vague that they
fail to afford any basis for legal or public
action. or, if there be any attempt at def
milton, it is with the object of making
these terms conform to a foregone conclu-
sion on the very point under discussion.
Thus 1t is constantly asserted that ply
siologists feel at liberty to torture AMI
mails at their pleasure, without regard to
the shigher dictates Of humanity or to
the "lawsof morality" tits thus implied
that there exists among the public
some principle OF conduct toward the
lower animals which has No place
among experimenters. They speak as
If, standing on higher platform, and
beholding all creatures from superior
position, they could frame code Of laws
which should have due regard to the
rights of animals, and govern our own
conduct in all our relations to them.
This position is altogether fallacious {;
man cannot disconnect himself from the
animal world, and cannot define It's
rights. It must, therefore, be aban-
doned as altogether untenable, and the
subject discussed from q totally different
standpoint. Our relation to the animal
world can only in very qualified sense
be regarded from an ethical point of
view; much In the same way as eating
and drinking may be spoken of as cues
tons OF morality when moral considera.
ticas exert their influence over the
amount and kind OF food which we con.
sumo; this, however, cannot hide from
us the fact that the subject of digestion
is fundamentally physiological one.
The duty Of man toward animals, as
an abstract question, is from its very
natute insoluble; it can only be par,
tally answered on the grounds of expe-
dlency, and these will vary according to
age and nation. We should, rather.
ask what is our relation to the lower an
lmal world, and in what place in that
relationship can moral considerations
come into force? In endeavoring to
form judgment of this relationship.
we must take facts as we find them. for
the attempt at an explanation is trying
to solve the riddle of our existence. and
leaves us still with " the burden OF the
mystery Of all this unintelligible world"

s?lcs Monthly.
