TIE CANADIANS
The speech of the Marquis of Lansdowne TO
the Egyptian Contingent.


A Quebec spe ,ial OF the 1j.h says: The
Canadian contingent for the Egyptian cam
paign, 10 the number OF 800, sailed at L.
NJ. to-day in the steamship Ocean King,
The men all appearing in splendid spirits.
Before reaching Alexandria the steamer
calls st sydney, Cape Breton, and Gibral-
tar. The GOyernOr-General and suite
went aboard this morning and in
spected the men and their quar-
tiers, talking Familiarity with them.
Lord and Lady Lansdowne shook hands
W ith all The petty officers. Before leaving
the Goyernor-Gencrll, amid loud applause,
addressed Major DenisOn and the other Off
GERS and men at some length, wishing them
good luck on their expedition and safe
return. Their presence with the regular
forces, he said, would show that the Eng
lish empire did not consist merely Of the
British Isles. lie recalled the objects OF the
expedition. eulogizing General Gordon for
his character and personal courage. The
road TO the fortress in which he was
enclosed lay Up a river famous in
history. which he hoped his hearers
were about to make yet more memorable
lie spoke OF the difficulties Of nlyi-
eating the Nile, but believed that the cIta-
racs OF the river would prove no more
formidable 10 the Canadian naVigltors
than the rapids OF their own rivers. 1t
was complimentary 10 their abilities that,
though the Imperial Government could
turn TO either OF the four quarters OF the
globe for men TO man the bosts conveying
the troops up the Nile, it should turn its
ewes 10 the Dominion OF Canada. Lord
Wolscley had not FORGOTTEN he experience
he had gained on his Red-riyer expe-
dItlon, nor how the Ca, adam voyageurs
who then accompanied him surrounded all
difficulties.
wOLsELEY's OLD COMRADES.
The Governor referred TO the fact that
the commanding officer and some OF the
men Of the present expedition served
under WOlseley at the Red river, and he
was sure that they would all do the special
duty for which they had been engaged as
no other men IN the world could do ii. lie
reminded them that they carried with
them the reputation OF their country. and
urged them TO bring it back unblemished.
Though no. serving As soldiers, they yet
might show that civilians were possessed
OF many soldierly qualities. lie told the
Indians that they bad been specially asked
for 10y General Wolseley. and addressed
the French Canadian contingent at length
In their own language.

Ashes.

Save all the ashes from the fire-places,
and put them on the smOke-house or cellar
floor, where they will keep dry till wanted
for USE Then at the time of planting corn
have hand to 90 along before the planters
with bucket of ashes, and drop full
single handful Immediately under each hill
As the ashes are put down, let the hand
knock over it little dirt with the foot, and
then set the foot upon the spot for the corn
to be planted. In this way the planters
will know just where the ashes are depos-
tied, and will not fail to get the seed in the
right place. A handful of good hard wood
ashes, such as are usually made in every
country fireplace in winter, will make a
good strong stalk of corn grow on quite
poor land, and each stalk will yield an ear
of solid grain that without the ashes would
be but sorry stuff. There is no better fer
tilizer than ashes of hard wood, and being
in concentrated form, a very little of it is
required to make good corn. There is
probably no better use to make Of it than
to put it all under the corn. Two or three
bushels is enough for an acre of corn, a
handful to the hill, and as the ashes cost
nothing, it thus becomes the cheapest and
best fertilizer for corn that can be employed.
We have during the winter saved up quite
lot of ashes, which we intend to use in
the above way, having been led to this way
of fertilizing corn by the advice and prac-
tice of an old darkey, who always makes
plenty of good sound corn. 1t is important
to keep the ashes dry till used.-Peters-
burg Iader-Appeal.

How an Iowa Dairyman Milks.

The following, from The Dairy, con-
tributed by an Iowa dairyman, shows what
absolute cleanliness means: at is said that
it is as hard to be clean as it is to be good,
Well, think it is not hard to be good,
even for dairyman, if he only does as he
would be done by, and just as easy to be
clean. This is my method of doing it !:
At five o'clock | am in the COW stables;
the feed prepared the night before is put
into the feed boxes, which are first cleared
of all remnants of former food; and, if sour,
they are secured out with warm water and
broom While the COWS are eating they
are thoroughly carded and brushed, as well
as any well-kept horse is, and all over, from
head to switch. The udder is sponged, if
necessary, and wiped with a clean towel,
and not dingy rag. The cutters are then
cleaned out, and the stalls, common road
broom being used to finish after broad
scraper, which draws the manure down to
the trapdoors into the cellar The floor
and the cutters are then Uttered well with
sawdust, when We have no straw. For
fifteen cows this takes an hour. Then |
90 to breakfast. At half-past six the cows
are MIXED, and each mixer has overalls
and an apron made of striped ticking, with
which he can milk in his Sunday clothes
and slippers if he likes; and any lady may
90 in with silk dress on and not hurt it.
As the milk is drawn it is strained at once
in the deep pals which stand on the plat
form and are kept covered; the milk pals
have strainers, and double strainer is kept
in the deep cans, so the milk goes through
three strainers But this is not really ne
cessary, as | would cheerfully drink glass
of milk direct from the COW as milk it.
But out of consideration for my customers
who buy my butter and milk, put the
milk through three straineIs. As soon as
the deep pals are full they are closed and
carried to the milkhouse and handed to the
person who sets the milk in the pool or the
creamery, CT, if it is put into shallow pans,
strains it at once Now, there is nothing
hard to do about this. 1t is so easy after
having begun it and got into the way of it,
that it would be hard to stop it. And |
don't see how it is easier to be cleaner than
we are in our dairy

Ght farmer.
Manure for the Irish Potato.

Stable manure has been much used by
Virginia farmers for the Irish potato, and
many, no doubt, regard it as the one per-
feet and complete manure for this crop.
1t is excellent for the purpose beyond a
doubt, as are also some other forms of do
nestle animal manure. But the farmer
can hardly afford to take this manure for
the purpose, and we hold that no animal
manure is exactly suitable for the potato.
OF course a plant must partake, to some
extent, of the nature of the food it imbibes,
and if the food is filth the plant cannot en-
tircly escape contamination. This being
the case, it is worth while, in sanitary
point of view, to pay some attention to the
nature of the plant foods of the crops upon
which we ourselves feed.
Now, not only can the farmer find better
use for his animal manures than to employ
them in the production Of potatoes, but ne
can get cheaper one from his woods, and,
with the aid of little superphosphate to
quicken action, an equally effective one as
to results. Well rotted litter, such as may
be scraped up on any farm, has been found
excellent for the potato, used in conjunction
with superphosphate. The latter alone
will not act near as well as it does when the
litter is also applied The potato is crop
that seems absolutely to demand some
coarse material in the ridge for the potatoes
to grow in. There is no doubt that it is
because it keeps the ridge mellow, and it
gives the tubers room to grow. A very
light sprinkle of the phosphate, with plenty
of rich pine straw mould, will produce as
good crop of potatoes as full application
of stable manure.
The litter should be at least half rotted,
and the entire trench made for planting the
sets should be filled with it. The sets may
be dropped first, the litter put upon them
and the superphosphate applied on top the
mould Or the plan may be reversed by
putting the superphosphate first, the litter
upon that and the potato above all
A piece of land planted thus to potatoes
in March or April, and the crop removed
in July, would afford a most desirable
preparation for a turnip patch next fall.
1t would be fine for winter cabbages or
collards also, the latter crop (much ne
glected) that ought to be planted largely
for ewes, mich cows, &c, in winter.
We advocate this cheap manure for the
potato Let the stable and stock pen
manures be spread over the wheat, clover
and oat patches early in spring, or applied
to the corn land, trucks, &c. 1t will pay
better thus. Rotten pine straw and good
commercial fertilizer in small quantity will
do for the potato, especially in the interior,
where none is raised for market.
