there will be big agitation in Ireland
for the possession of grazing lands.
The raising of men is, after ALL of
somewhat more Importance to Ireland
than the raising of bullocks.
Another thing, the need Of which
strongly asserts itself in ireland. is the
reafforestation of the country. Howitz,
of Denmark, says that Ireland is E 100.-
00a 900 poorer through neglect of af-
foresta ton. When men are, in the near
future, removed to the rich grazing
land from the bog and mountain
wastes, their place should be supplied
by trees which will flourish where men
failed to thrive, and which will render
the country healthier, richer, more pic
turesque. There are, at present. three
and a quarter millions of waste and
barren land in Ireland. against 100000
acres under wood and plantation. Dur
ing the last year 221, 600 trees were
planted, $1,000 fe1led and blown

A man may leave the selection Of his
Waistcoats and shirts to the haberdasher

Exclusive waistcoat patterns. even in

instruction, the grazing lands In Ire
land have within the past year in
creased by 10000 acres. Part of this
increase is, of course, attributable to
the spread and success of the cooper
alive creamery system in Ireland, but,
undoubtedly. the greater part Is due TO
the facts that the population is de-
creasing, the supply of labor lessening,
and the number of buIIocks increasing.
Although there was an increased acre
age under potatoes last year, there was
falling off of $4,000 in the general
cropping acreage. At the present mo-
ment the acreage under crops Is not
much more than half that 1t was In

The actual wear and tear on garments

American man when business permits
him to relax and accidents due to his

inroads into the most extravagantly
equipped clothes presses. One farewell

Land purchase under the new act
moves forward with strange and spas
modic strides Quite recently there
have been a number of purchases
made upon most unequal terms. One
estate sold to the tenants at so low a
figure as thirteen and one-third years
purchase. In the County Antrim twen-
ty years purchase has been given, and
on the MacMurrough-Cava es-
tate the handsome figure of thirty-sev-
en- and three-fourthS years purchase
was agreed to. Some tenants will, I'M
doubtedly, have reason to bless the
land purchase act; others will, l fear
be cufsing it by and by. Between
blessings and eursings, then, it goes
merrily forward There are many es-
tates in Ireland OF which land is toe

he were in some way awarded for un-
