TAKING IT IRONICALLY,

We would not for the world shy

of the Mighty Hunter in the wilds OF
Africa. But, after all, is this facility OF
bowling over lions, three at three
shots. finding at once and without delay

game. quite the natural thing? Even
the terror breeding lions of Tsavo, that

THE EXPERIMENT FARM.

1T cannot but be subject for regret
that the State officials have found 1T
necessary to abandon the State expert
ment farm at Lehio But it is better TO
abandon it at once than 70 keep 1t
along without vitality or usefulness,
a mere aimlcss derelict OF officiadom.
Such farm is capable of being, IN
der expert, industrious, and sk1lifui
mana cement. a great power for good TO
the farming and orchard interests OF
the State 1t could. and should, test
practically the best processes, the best
varieties. the best seeds, the best means
of caring for mature products; and
so bring wealth of profitable kuowl-
edge to the command of the farmer
To this end, ii should be fully sup
piled with all needed money, skill, and
labor. But if il cannot be so support
ed, il is best to give it mp and not
waste any more money on il as mere
dcatb-in-life pretense. The State of
ficinls, finding it impracticable to pro.
cccd on useful and satisfactory lines
have wisely abandoned the effort. And
pity It's that they had to do it.

vcrsity and weakness. 1t affects TO
think that we have belittled the work
Of the pioneers here, which VIC have
not in the least done; we give them
full credit for doing all they could do,
recognizing their limitations, and
pointing out that for the further work
of development and metropolis build
ing another class of talent aud progress
is required, And this is so plain TO
every one, that it is idle to argue
about it.
The church organ came into the dis
cussion with the claim that ITS own
following had done everything that has
been worthily done, and with words of
scurrilous abuse and vililication for all
not of its own sect And on that basis
it made a demand for fair treatment.
We pointed out that he who demands
fair treatment should give fair treat,

News into an attempt to Justify It's
