proportion OF her population will be at a positive
disadvantage II she remains outside the Berne

matter In its English interests only. forgetting
that In Canada two-ffths Of her population are

siderable part is highly cultured, literary IN
its tastes and devoted TO authorship. TO the
book producers In the latter class exclusion from

land would be serious loss, while French au-
ihors and publishers naturally take unkindly
to the manufacturing clause In the proposed

RAISE PEAS.

Farmers in this vicinity of the
PaIouse and other sections who are
obliged to feed 7O-cent wheat to %
cent pork, do not find 1t very prof
itable-in fact it is a dead loss of
45 cents on every bushel of wheat
so disposed Of There is not a far,
mer in this section of the country
but could we'll afford to put in at
least ten acres of peas, which would
feed all the hogs he would wish to
raise, and leave him abundant feed
for horses and sheep. The average
Palouse farmer appears to be the
hardest creature to work a reform
or accept a new idea that may be
named. 1t took from seven to nine
years to convince him that apples
would grow on his farm. He was
firmly convinced after the bunch
grass was gone that nothing would
grow but wheat in the Palouse
country. How absurd! Peas will
grow and produce abundantly, and
hogs can be fattened upon them
with good profit at p cents per
pound dresssd-and a better quail
ity than wheat fed pork has been
made in the east from peas and
sold at profit of one cent per pound
Another great advantage in this
country would be the destruction
of the Chinese lettuce and wild oats
