in exporting it to England. In 1856
the Ontario farmers shipped beef to
the value of S., ,O00,OOO to England.
and received Al cents per pound for
ito raise it cost 81 cents pound.
Men have made money by fattening
cattle for export but not by raising
them. On wheat and cattle export
ed to England in 1885, valued at
$4,000, 600, there was q dead loss.
Satisfied by experience that there
was no money in wheat, the Ontario
farmer is decreasing his acreage. In
1882 the fall wheat crop was ], l,lSS,-
$50 bushels; in 1886 it fell to $780,
600 bushels. The total acreage OF
land in the Province is 2l,775,299.
In 1885 there was of farming land
1886, ,2S3 acres; in orchards and
gardens, 19l, ,266 acres; total of as
sessed resident land, 20,67l ,554
acres; nonresident land, l l,l03,745
acres. Yet the land, in addition to
being heavily mortgaged, is decreas-
ing in value, for last year the farm.
ing land was valued at $648, ,099, ,82S,
while in 1884 it was worth $654,-
793,025, and this decrease and the
cause of profitless farming is due,
it is claimed, to the unfayorable
character of England as a market
and the restrictions placed upon in.
tercourse with the United States.

head and about his middle. He then
quickly rose to the surface and clam
bered into his canoe, and the feet
was again set in motion. Thecanoe
to which the line about the sharks
body was attached moved very slow
ly and carefully, just enough strain
being kept on the line to raise the
captive's body clear of the bottom.
Sometimes the shark would be i lit
tie restive, and then we all waited
"until," as the doctor said, "he rolled
over and went to sleep again."
At length We were close to the
beach, and all but two canoes were
drawn up on the sands to wait for
daylight. The two remaining ones
lay over the sleeping niuhi, the end
of the line to which he was secured
being taken on the beach, and then
all hands took turns in watching
and sleeping. The job might have
been completed then, but this the
Kahuna forbade.
"We have the right to snare the
man eater in the night while he is
drunk" he said, but we must wait
for daylight, when he is sober, be-
fore we kill him."
BY daylight a crowd of people had
assembled on the beach, anil the
signal was given from the canoes
that the niuhi WAS awake and get.
ting restive. SO the long line was
seized by a hundred hands; it
Strengthened out, and then, amid the
triumphant song of the Kahuna and
the yells and laughter of the crowd
tramping away with the rope, the
enraged man-eater, thrashing and
plunging about, was drawn out of
the water and over the yellow sands.
AS his huge body plunged hither
and thither he snapped savagely at
everything, but in vain. A crowd
of the fishermen were always about
him, raining shower Of blows on
his ugly head, until he lay, beaten
to death, on the shore.
Great were the rejoicings overthe
success of this hunt for the niuhi.
Every portion of the body (which
was over eighteen feet in length
was eaten-the bones and skin spe
cially are supposed to endow the
eater with high courage and great
strength. AS for the one who slip
ped the moose over the head OF the
man-eater, he was given an extra
portion of the liver, was extrava-
gantly praised for...his skill, and
would, the Kanuha said, by fortu-
nate in everything he undertook
thereafter.
