LABouoHERH's PREDICTION.
Canada and Australia Must Inevitably
Become Independent.

LONDON, Dec. 31.-Truth, Mr.. Henry
Laboucheres paper, publishes an article
on Canada's future, drawn out by the
troubles in the province of Quebec,
which resulted in the ousting of Mr..
Mercier and his cabinet. Truth says
that it is the manifest destiny of the
Dominion to become new United
States or to become attached to the great
republic. The change is inevitable, and
the sooner it occurs the better. The
emancipation of the grotesque Dominion
and its absorption in the United States
would be great benfit to the Canadians
and also to Great Britain.
Such a course would relieve Great
Britain Of the necessity of engaging in
transatlantic squabbles in which She has
no concern. 1t would moreover give the
Canadians energy and enterprise which
no mere colonists can possess. The only
sufferers would be the Indians. who
would be transferred to the tender Iner-
cies of what is probably the most cor
rnpt and rascally institution ON earth
the Washington Indian bureau. CAN
ada once free, Australia would soon fol-
low. Indeed, 1t is quite possible that
Australia will be the first to sever the
bonds by which she is attached to Great
Britain. The talk of Australian loyalty
to the British crown is all buncombe.

COLUMBUS, O., Dec. 31.-The Chitten-
den hotel and Neil house are veritable
beehives, thronged with politicians and
statesmen, and the only topic of interest
and discussion is that on the senatorial
question. Both candidates appear to be
holding their own, though the fight
wakes fierce. Sherman's lieutenants are
rejoicing in the announcement of Alli-
man that he will vote for Sherman, while
Foraker's friends feel happy in that one
by one all of the claimed'supporters are
announcing themselves in the ex-goyer-
nor's favor.

animation is held.

fined there

Grccm Fond for NXInt.r.

The value of green food during the win
ter months, while the animals under our
care are confined in the barns and pens, is
coming to be appreciated. 1t is difficult
to understand what a complete change it is
from the fields and green food to the small
pens, narrow stalls and dry fodder. Fail
ing here, it is not difficult to see why so many
complain because the tiocks and herds do
not thrive better in winter. The exercise
necessary for best health is deprived them,
and. in addition, that natural food upon
which they thrive is ordinarily impossible
to obtain. Fortunately the silo opens the
way for the poultry man to preserve green
fodder for the hens, and the market affords
the animal food, without which there can
be no profit in the business. Eggs call for
certain elements, and these must be provid-
ed else the work of building cannot 90 on.
The Poultry Monthly in treating this ques-
ton says:
ut would not pay to build silOs for
/ poultry houses, unless one had large num-
Der of hens, and then they should be in the
shape of air-tight tierces, which could be
pressed SOllu ana covered Ike Il tdll. lHtll
a terce opened at a time could be used,
young clover being the food covered. If
one will SOW clover and herds grass, and
cut il four times a year and dry it in the
/ shade, so that the leaves will not fall of
] the stems. it will be found to be the best of
/ green food for hens in winter, as there is
no food in grain and roots that will give a
yellow yolk like clover and meat and by
| its use yellow sponge cake and custard
can be had in winter as well as in sum-
mer.'
An Inexpensive method is to use sugar
barrels, and the prudent man who fOreseeth
the evil will provide a supply before
the second crop is ready, and then pack
full, cover, and put on weight. There
are dollars in these barrels of silage, not
only because of the saving of other foods
resulting from the feeding of this, not only
in supplying to a large degree the constitu
ents of the eggs, and especially the shell
but also from the fact that it comes nearer
being natural green food than anything
else save the vegetables, and therefore plays
an important part in maintaining Tho
J health and productiveness of the tiocks
This point is urged in order that clover
slage may be looked forward to, and pre-
pared for in season, thus materially reduc
ing the cost of keeping the hens and secur
ing more eggs in winter.

The Crops and the Farmer

Farm products will be 81 200, COCOON
more this year in the United States than
they have been during the recent years of
depression. At least this is the estimate
put forward by The American Agricultur-
list in its annual review of the harvests, to
be published in the forthcoming September
issue of that magazine. On the basis of
present prospects this authority estimates
the corn crop of 1891 at 100000, 900
bushels, wheat 500, 100000 bushels, and
oats 622, 0O0.000 bushels; against 1900,
600. 900 bushels, 100000, 600 bushels and
524. 600, 600 bushels respectively in 1890,
and LOO, 100000 bushels, 445, 100000
bushels and 57S, 600, 600 bushels as the av-
erage for the preceding II years. This
makes the total prospective crop of corn,
wheat and oats 3, l22, 100000 bushels, or
PISS per cent greater than last year, and
l4.7 per cent over the average of the pre-
cedng Il years.
The American Agriculturst believes that
unless unexpected influences wholly change
the current of events, the value of corn on
the farm will average i'm December fully 5C
cents a bushel, wheat 81 bushel and oats
at least 40 cents. On this basis the value
of the corn crop to the farmers will be
81 600 0O0,0 wheat $500, 100000 and
oats $3.50, 600, 600, or total of 81, $50, OOO,-
600. This is $3.50, 900, 900 more than tn,
value of these crops in 1890, and SG25,
OOO, 900 more than the value of the average
of these crops from 1880 to 1880 inclusive
