Now is a good time to start q bed
of strawberries. Few who have rot
tried realize how small an area and how
little trouble it takes to grow strawber-
ries in plenty for family use. The
young plants, either common runners
or ported plants, can now be safely set
where they are to grow. The latter set
on rich soil will bear well next June.
One hundred plants well cultivated viii

There is no farmer in the state of Mich

market: Eve have seen this year some
very selfish Americans who came to
Perche and have spent their time In
looking after the poorest stock because
it was the cheapest. Such expectations
can only do harm both in America and
in Perche. No doubt some are regis
tered and by means Of this may be
palmed off as the cream of the Perche.
I can not help relating to you how an
American of your Western states trans
acted his business. He did not even
pay a visit to the Perche. As soon
as he arrived in Paris he took q
cab, went to q dealer there and
said: L want fifty horses, and sat
down while the dealer gathered them
for him. These animals came from
the Lord only knows where, very likely
the most of them from Belgium, with
which few from the Perche or else
where are mixed: but it is all the same to
this gentleman from the West as long
as they are cheap. As soon as he bad the
required number he herded them to-
eether and shipped them to America,
where am told they are sold under the
name of 'Normans It is indeed q
wonder that the old dukes of Normandy
do not get out of their graves in Their
wrath at the idea of calling these heavy
draft-horses "Normans." In view Of
such practices n is well for buyers to
know from whom they purchase when
paying good prices for imported
stock"

Winnipeg Manitoba, Special: The city has
been hideous all the evening with the shouts
and noise of an Infatuated mob. Thursday, by
order of Attorney General Miller John McCor-
mick, from Dakota, who was sent to
jail for eight months for larceny, was
taken out in the Jail yard, tied up to
a triangle, stripped, and amidst falling snow
fogged with cato nine tails because he
made an attempt to escape from the guard
when the latter was not looking. Public in
dignation against Miller was so great that 5, 600
citizens assembled Friday night and burned
him in effigy, singing ''Hang Judge Miller to q
sour apple tree" A procession then formed,
marched to the jail, and demanded the person
of Mccormick, but the authorities would not
deliver him. The mob groaned and Kissed for
half an hour, and then went to the govern
ment building and demanded that Miller be
produced Premier Norquay came out and ad-
dressed the crowd, saying the government
would give proper account of its position to
the public in a few days, when the blame would
be put on the proper shoulders. The crowd
howled for Miller but it was announced that
he had fled the city in the afternoon He was
seen to take train for St Vincent, Mimi.
Friday evening, when the mob was at the gov
eminent building, military, with fixed bayonets,
marched mp and attempted to dispense the
crowd without success.

An Excellent stock Rule.

New York Tribune An excellent
rule for owners of live stock of all kinds
to be guided by is this: that what is
bad for his own health is bad
for his stock. A man feeds him
self reasonably; he would not think OF
eating the hard, unripe, windfall apples
which he gives to his cows, nor make
meal of chaff instead of bread, although
his cattle may be forced to feed upon
swamp weeds and dead and dry heritage
picked up from what has been rejected
during the summer; nor will he drink
foul water, nor live in such filth as he
keeps his poultry or his pigs In. ]
don't know but what mankind can stand
more of this than our domestic animals
can, but at any rate as rule we try to
avoid it, and if we should have sound,
healthy stock we must treat them, as
regards sanitary laws, precisely as We
do ourselves, and 10 some cases better.

Sam NJ. Turner and August NJ john

of Cleveland sub contractors in putting on
sheeting on elevators, were on scaffold sixty
feet above ground They had been engaged in the

manner in which they hung the scaffold,
and in rigging the scaffold did not take
proper precautions in fastening lines to the
staging or dogs when they began work. The
fastening in consequence gave way about noon,
precipltating the men to the dock below. The
men struck on the timbers Their injuries
were frightful The bones in all parts of their
bodies were broken. The men were taken to

wheat fixes the duty ct q cents per

kind ever proposed on articles OF food.
The British corn laws fixed q sliding

Take q Holiday at the Pairs.

From Rural New Yorker.
Even comparatively light burden be-
comes almost intolerably oppressive if
constantly and increasingly borne, and
it helps one wonderfully to lay it down,
straighten up and take deep breath,
if only for moment. If it makes the
burden no lighter, it does what amounts
to the same thing, it rests the tired
muscles and makes them the more able
to bear it. It does team engaged in
heavy work an awful sight of good to
occasionally stop. have the harness
loosened, and be allowed to get long
breath; 1t seems to put new life and Wig
or into them, and they always look
their thanks. The farmer is too apt to
make bis life like the constant bearing
of the heavy load, or the drawing of
the team. He does not have resting
and breathing spells enough he seems
to think he cannot afford the time. He
forgets that the distance is much short
er to the rested horse, and the load
much lighter to the rested man.
just now is q splendid time to turn
over new leaf. The season OF fairs is
is just opening, and every farmer should
so plan his work that he can go to one
or more of them. We believe that this
year they will be more free from obiec-
tionable features than ever before. Do
not think it enough that you go alone,
brother farmer; your wife needs rest
as badly as you do, and often ten tinlea
worse. Plan, therefore to take her.
And then the boys-they have been
good boys, and have worked hard and
faithfully; of course you will take them
And the girls-well, you might as we'll
make up your mind to take the whole
family, not Forgetting the hired man.
Go early and go every day. When you
get there, don't get to talking politics
and forget all about the family; they
are worth more to you than all the
politicians; so stick by them and
let the button-holers go. Take the
whole family about, and show them
the improved stock; call attention to
the points of excellence in the diff
ferent breeds. ana kinds Of domestic
animals. Show them the fruits and
uOW0IS, SLlOW tuclil tuc ldi III anu houS0-
hold machinery; and see if you can't
find some new improvements IN It, BE
sure to point out everything. Make
yourself happy by seeing how much
you can interest them III what comes
from the farm, and what tends to light
en- the labors of the farm.
If You see anything on the ground
that merits your disapproval, call the
managers attention to it, and beg OF
them to abate the nuisance. If they
neglect to do SO, make memorandum
of it, and be sure to settle with them at
the next annual election. We believe
that two or three days thus spent will
be much better than money at interest,
and we believe you will be surprised at
how many new ideas you will get. and
will be charmed at the new zest and
interest it will put into the work, Of
even the hlred man. Try it.
