now and then an old ruin castle.
ard wherever a fruit tree or grain
could be planted, there it was. After
getting i'll Italy we saw our first
corn since leaving home. 1t can't
be raised in Germany. Saw vine
yard after vineyard, fruit trees, and
., so many dirty Italians. The
Germans were so clean, but you
can't imagine Venice. We go:

ourselves, and were placed in

where there are no horses or

want to start out, in the place Of
calling a cab or getting OF the street
cars, we will have a gondola take us
through the streets. There are many
places of interest here, but of course
we have not eel anything yet.
There are quite a number of Ameri-

along nicely considering we knew no

AGRICULTURAL NOTES.
From the journal of Agriculture
Break the wheat ground early.

Break the wheat ground early.
Make the farm as beautiful as
possible,
Make preparations for saving plen-
ty of corn fodder.
Ii you have no good implement
house, build one this fall.
Let the pigs pick up the inferior
apples that fall from the trees.
a great many farmers would be
better off with 40 acres than with
100.
Prof. Massey saysrich, moist soil
is the main cause of hollow hearted
potatoes.
Bone meal and nitrate of soda are
highly recommended as a fertilizer
for the lawn.
J. NJ. Rice says he has fed wheat
to horses with the best results during
the hardest work.
Thousands of city people would
be glad to move to the farm if they
even owned 10 or 20 acres Of land
to 90 to.
Tar is good to apply to sores Or
wounds on sheep. Not only is its
odor offensive to flies, but it is
healing.
The farmer who has Il green crop
of some kind to take the place OF
the pastures which are dried up, is
fortunate.
Poor land mean poor crops.
Every effort possible should be made
to constantly bring the land to a
higher state of fertility.
An investment in lirst-class stock
at present low prices might prove q
good thing, as two years hence they
may sell for good prices.
The dry weather of the last few
weeks emphasizes the Importance Of
having a sorghum crop for stock
growing, 1t is a great resister Of
droughts.
1t is said that Germany proposes
to retaIiate, if the American tariff
discriminates against her sugar in.
terests in our markets, by imposing
duties on the American hog.
The Western Swineherd reports 4
remarkable exemption from hog
cholera throughout the great West

that Tor many years hogs have moi
been So uniformly healthy.
If YOU have a horse TO sell, says &
horseman, fatten it up, curry il
slick and clean, trim off the shaggy
hair from his legs, and make him
look as if you thought him worth
paying some attention to. He will
then sell for what he is worth; other
wise he sill not.

Kenneth BaZemore had the good
fortune to receive a small bottle OF
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and

dysentery. This III small bottle
cured them all and he had some left
which he gave to Geo. W. Baker, Il
prominent merchant of the place,
Lewiston, \. c., and it cured him of
the same complaint. When troubled
with dysentery, diarrhoea, collie or
cholera morbus, give this remedy q

use has made it very popular. 25 and
