Moves The Jurymcn To Tears.
 REGINA, Northwest Ter, July 31.-More evidence taken in Riel's trial yesterday, some in favor of his insanity and some in rebuttal, closed the case for the defense. MT. Fitz- patrick, Riels counsel, made an eloquent speech, alleging justification, urging extenu- ating circumstances and winding up with an allusion to his insane condition. Afterward Riel addressed the court. Before speaking he turned his eyes upward and prayed fer vently for few minutes. He then said:
 Your Honors Gentlemen of the jury-It would be easy for me to-day to play insanity, because of excitement s9 would cause a nature like mine to be far from calm, but hope with the help of God to retain my calmness.

There is no ordeal of bullying more

who would not incur the expense and

they did not covet distinction, there are
not more than fifty who achieve dis

silent voters. Why are so many
doomed to obscurity at Westminster?
How is it that not quite ten per cent of
the members get the ear OF the House9
On the average the silent GOO could
speak just as well as the talking fifty.
Nay, among the silent 600 are several
who prove by their speaking elsewhere
that they are better orators than most
of the fifty takers. 1t is the bullying
that causes their utter failure at West

get the ear of the House if he is not

could cite many cases in endorsement
of this, and have my own experience to
corroborate it.
Farmers, generally, are 10th to expert
ment, or they conduct their experiments
injudiciously and without sufficient care,
not understanding all that relates to the
test. The quality and the uniform
character of the soil must be considered,
and allowance made for the difference
in corn particularly must the size be
kept in view, as also the disposition to
sucker, as these effect the shade. which,
if carried too far, lessons the ear growth,
and with farther crowding results in fod-
der corn. The point to be aimed at is the
greatest development to the ear, with
out aH excess of space, and it must not
be forgotten that the best development
of the ear means also the soundest and
fullest growth of the stalk which sun

CORN PLANTING.

Unreasonable, but the Hints are Worth
Considering For Next Season.
The chief difficulty in raising corn is
close planting, and it is practice hard
to overcome, so thoroughly has habit
established it. 1t extends to the grains
also, but its greatest harm is with corn,
reducing its yield, often largely, and in
some cases more than half, on all kinds
of soil, whether good or poor, but more
on good soil.
Shade is the cause of this effect of close
planting, which extends to both the
stalk and the ear; but its chief harm is
with the latter. We find the same effect
in orchards, where the admission of sun
light among the branches is necessary
TO the health of the tree and develop
ment of fruit.
Take corn of medium size, and three
and one-half TO four feet space between
the rows, and the stalks twelve inches
apart in the row, and the best success
will be obtained, one year with another,
on good, but not tie best soil With
rich land, in good condition, full four
feet between the rows is required, and
something more with the largest kind of
corn. particularly if disposed to sucker
much, the suckers or side-stalks, if the
season is favorable to ripening, adding
considerably to the amount of the grain,
and much more largely and of increased
quality to the stover, There is consider

The Fly Pest.

The warm weather, with its accom-.

troublesome to COWS and horses. The
latter especially are tormented all night
long by persistent and savage blood
sucker, which is supposed to be the
common house fly from its similar APP
pea rance, but it is a very different in
sect. 1t is related to the fierce "tsetse"
fly of Africa, which destroys horses so
that oxen are used for the saddle; also
to the buffalo gnat of the Southern Mis-
sisSippi region, which worries to death
even the hardy mules of that region.
Its name is StOmoryS and it very much

as the prick of a needle and draws blood
as quickly. The mixer who feels his
