were actually growing higher.He noticed that even the Intercolonial Railway bad recently entered a combine known na the Canadian Freight Association, for the purpose of fixing rates.It bad come to his

respecting the incorporation of Live Stock Bi > A apctations, He reminded the House ve years ago perlisment passed an act Onder which live stock associations formed in different parts of the Ît was thought desirable !o for joint action among these as ciations which would lead to a Bation- simtion of records under the authority of Departmen Agriculture, leading breeders of the Dominion bad themeelves pointed out that it was de sirable to have but ome set of records for each kind of stoek instead of one or more sets for each province.They had asked also that arrangements be made to «fix the official stamp of the De partment to these and fc Tr, this reason the depertment would have suthority to make all necessary in before giving its sanction.lt was hoped that one oulcome of the vativnalization of the live stock pedigrees in Canada will be to secure thoroughbred Canadian «ui- male wiry duty free into the United States, be United States customs laws place pure stuck ou the free \u2018ist when they are introduced for breeding pusposes, but Canadian stockmen have ftherto been unable to get the advantage of this privilege because of the regulations upon which the \\Washington authorities have insisted.DEBATE RESUMED, The autonomy debate was resumed Messts.Martin, Liberal, of North Wel lington; Elson,Conservative, ef Fast Mid- dienes: Dr, Black, Liberal, of Hants: Mr, Adamson, Liberal, of Humboldt, and Mr.Sinclair, Liberal, of Guysboro.Me.Martin declared that in aupport ing tl overnment bills was expro se ing his honest conviction as to what wa fair snd just towards the people of the new provin So far from the government bringing any pressure on its following to vote for this measure, he could honestly say that nobody had even asked how he was going to vote.Mr.Martin quoted with approval the \u2018Wit.nese\u2019 editorial on the autonomy bills.Mr.Elson argued that the attendance of children cf different creeds at a common national school tended to foster mu- tua) respect and friendship, whilst separate schools led to distrust and isolation.The public schools therefore were the best for all, and religion should be left to the home, the Sunday-echool and the Church.Under this bilf there was nothing to prevent even the Mormons de manding schools in which ther could provide their awn form of religious instruction, He would vote for Mr.Borden\u2019s amendment, because he believed in protecting provincial rights.Dr.Black held the chief ground of com- paint of the Conservatives agninst these sutonomy bills was because they emanated from a Liberal government.The proposed lation merely continued he excellent school system they already possess in the North-West, and for his part he thought no wiser course could be fol- owed.Mr.Adamson repeated what other western Liberals have been saying, thst the North-West is perfectly satisfied with this legislation.Mr.Sinclair told the House that the whole agitation against these bills was hatched in Toronto, where certain news papers were doing their best to arouse passion and strife.He would vote \u2018or the government policy.because he believed it a fair compromise on a very delicate question.Mr.Borden's amendment was calculated to bewilder everybody,whereas the stand taken by the Liberals was in the interest of peace and harmony, The a ment was moved by

investigation, now in progres, into the affairs of the various telephone companies, is intended by the Postmas- ter-General to pave the way tor state ownership and operation of the \u2018ong distance telephone lines of the iJomin- ion.\u2018The expropriation of the Hell Telephone Com \u2018a trunk lines will be supplemented by such additional construction as is needed to establish tele- ice communication imum Srition to Columbia.Friends of the Postmaster General say that his policy will be to popularize this utile by a large reduction in the scale of charges.Bir William Mulock has signalized his adminietra- flous of the Post-office (Department by jowering the ral of letter postage an: events Cave shown that he was well justified in the hope that this step would lead to an increased volume of mail tater and ultimately to increased revenue, That the like results may be achieved cutting down the rates cn the long distance telephone lines has ai- ready been shown by the evidence of Dr, Demers, manager of be Bellechasss Telephone Company, who was recently under examination before Sir William Mulock\u2019s Telephones Committee.\u2018When asked what rates bis company ebarged for long.distance conversations the doe replied: \u2014 tor \u201cThe Bell Company bave a rate of 00 cents from Levis to Riviere du Loup.We established our wires there on the lst of January of this year, and put the rate at 25 cents for five minutes\u2019 use of the line, with the result that we have more business than we can bandle, The Bell rate of 60 cents is for only three minutes, so that our rate is more than one-half lower, whilst we give nearly double the time.tween Levis and Riviere du Loup our pole line ie 8 miles, and we give so perfect a service that you can hear a watch ticking at the other end of the line.\u2019 In dent telephone operators de- elare that nothing militates more against the success of their business than the fact that their eni are unable at present to obtain long distance connections, the latter being controlled for the most part by the Bell Company, and being employed to build up that company\u2019's local business in the cities and towns of Ontario, Quebec and Manitoba, If, instead, the government operated these long distance circuits, the en- dence goes to show that there is no good reasof why municipalities, snd small, all over the country, should not be able to ma their own telephone echan| combining nmoderate rates with a fair return on the investment.From Sir Willism Mulock\u2019s remarks, when the parliamentary committee set out upon its enquiry, % te plain that hes no present intention of taking over the local telephone eystems.L'here would, he foresaw, be a practipsl ditti- culty in the way of the government os tablishing tele avery man's house riRrqughont the Sonny: ott: rates, ng op repel - hl pees ie rather to induce the \u2018| ten dollars a year.May 2, 1908, municipalities to establish thelr own telephone exchanges, meeting the cost of the service hy an item in the tax bills in the seme way as the municipeu- ties already provide {or their own water wupply- N \u2018he Postmaster-Ueneral is impressed also with the advantages that would accrue from the establishment of ile phonic communication among the farming districts.The evidence so far Pa betore the committee proves that fa mers in the settled portions of Canada could enjoy telephonie communication with their neighbors and with their market towns at a cost of from six to In its report to par- lisment the Telephone Committee will probably outline some scheme by which telephone services may be secured in the rural districts tt a very moderate cost, the locsl * municipalities co-operating with the Dominion government in the acocmplishment of this object.In acquiring the long distance tele- hone lines the Duminion will be copying the example of Great Britain, which after some years successful management of the long

LEGISLATURE.McCORKILL DELIVERS KE BUDGET SPEECH.Quebec, April 26.\u2014The principal fea: ture during yesterday afternoon's session of the legislature was the delivery of the budget speech by the ton.Mr.McCor kill.Provincial Treasurer.Om rising to make his budget speech, the Provincial Treasurer, the Hon.J.©.McCorkill, was received with applause from both sides of the House.After referring to Mr.Weit\u2019s election, he presented the finaucial statement tor the fiscal year ended ou June MW list (1904), speaking with more than his usual clearnews, force and elvouence.Briefly analyzed, the statement amounted to this: That the year bad been a satisfactory one, especially when account was taken of the fact that the government had refunded succession duties, which had been declared by the lrivy Council, in the famous case of Lambe ve.Manuel, to have been illegally collected, amounting to $56,776.18: that it had reduced the funded debt of the province to the extent of $113.700.75 out of or dinary revenuc, and that, in spite of all this, it wae still able to show a surplus of $85.217.30 over both ordinary and extraordinary expenditure.In other words, , there been no succession duties to refund and had the debt of the province not been reduced, the government would have had a surplus of #23.- 703.21 instead of one merely of $85.- 4917.30, Coming down to details, he showed from the public accounts that the ordinary receipts ot the year had aggregated ME¥LNG.34 and the ordinary expenditure 774,769.24, which left a surplus of $135,717.30, but there had Leen paid for the construction of regis try and publie olfices in Montreal, which was cl as an extmordinary expenditure, a sum of 350,500, and, deducting this from the surplus of receipts over ordinary expenditure, there remained a balance of #8521730, which represented the excess of receipts over loth ordinary and estraordinary expenditure.Alto- her the total receipts of the year d been $4.085,118.26 and the total payments, exclusive of railway and Quetwe bridge subsidies and Q.M, O.& 0.con- truction, $4.892012.74, which gave $103.106.32 as the excess of receipts Comparing the results of the year with the estimated results, he stated that the excess of actual over estimated receipts had amounted to $ubal.on, and the excess of actual over estimited expenditure to $318.355.33.In explaining these differences, Ire pointed out that they were an evidence of the great difficulty experienced by every trenaur- er in providing against an adverse balance sheet and that failure to correctly estimate results was an experience which was not confined alone to treasurers in this province, but in any case it was a satisfaction to know that the excess of actual over estimated receipts was than the excess of actual over estimated expenditure, and that the lus of the year was greater tnan bad been estimated.RECEIPTS.Referring to the important contribution ($1,900,855.72) the ent of Lands, Mines and Finheries to the receipts, and especially to the increase $134,335.72 last year over its estimated revenue, he seized the occasion to pay & high compliment to the ble 1dminis- tration of ex-Premier Parent, as well ns to refute the charge that they had been wasting the public domain for ordinary purposes of revenue.He shox- ed tbat, in the administration of the Crown Lends, the sane policy liad been followed since 1897 as was pursued by the Conservatives before that time, with- eut any pretence that it was against the interests of the province to pl a certain portion of our timber limits under license.He quoted from the reports of the department to prove that under the Conservative regime 30.143 3-4 square miles of our timber domam had been sold or placed under timber bic- ense, at an average price mile of ouly $22.48, the whole bringing in » eum of $584,138.06; while under the Liberal regime, since 1397, aithough the quantity sold or leased was only 19.032 Biles the amount realized therefrom was §1,710,902.45, or an average of $88.92 mile.le also recalled that prior Busi limite had been licensed by private contract, as well on y public com- ition, but since then all licenses had awarded by public auction to the \u2018last and highest bidder.Then, alluding to the application of the moneys derived from the licensing of timber limits he showed that a large portion thereol had been applied to the reduction of the debt, the total amount emplo; in this Fay during the last administration from | 1900-01 to 1903-04 being $812.911.37 which, after making certain specilied deducs- gave & net decrease of $037,061.20 liabilities.He trusted thay this ernment's oppon- portion of the the leasing of our in our would reassure the ants that at leant revenue obtained fro timber limits wax being apphed towards | the reduction of our provincial Labih- - ties, and le added that, silowing for argument\u2019s make (Lat there was some, reason for their criticiem, this should | at least remove its sting.Île mentioned | that dung the last parliament (1900-04) | the total realized from the wales of tim- Der limits was $1,171,072.while duri the same period the debt, exclusive vi conversion, had been reduced by #873.081.20, lenving à balance où paie, or an averages only of $124,227.85 used gnnvaliy for revenue purposes.When # was taken into

which sh increase, he said that, also showed \u2018while he did not care to give uuluve prominence to this fact, he coulil not ignore ita importance as à contributor towards the recvenue necessary for the administration of our affairs.He was aware tliat a consideralie portion ot our population was absolutely opposed to the granting of licenses, but it seemed to him that, until some other sources of revenue were found, which were acceptable to the taxpayers of the province, to replace the amount which was v- ed from licenses, they would have to continue to raise a revenue thereirem by & license law which should be as fair and equitable as it wax possible to make it.He had stated in his last financial etatement that he believed our license law was a fairly good one.He since had had occasion to study the license laws of the various provinces of the Dominion, and he did not hesitate to ray that, taking it all in all, it compared most favorably with the best of them.His predecessor in office, the late Mon.Mr, Duffy, had promised to consult the various interests of the nro- vince with a view to amending and improving the law.He (Mr.MeCorkilh) repeated that promise a year ago.le bad at various times during the year consulted those who are specially 1m terested in the law\u2014certain of the judges who have had exnerience in its administration, snd representatives of the tleroperance organizations.as well as those engaged in the trade and the re sult had been the preparation of a bill which would be shortly laid before the House for its consideration.He cxvlained the increase over the estimates of #28,515 in the direct taxes on commercisi corporations by the tendency among commercial tirms 10 become incotporat into joint stock companies, adding that he feit sure from this ten- deny, coupled with the tremendous promperity passing over the province, ot which there was happily no sgn of abatement, that the revenue from this source would continue 10 increase.SUCCESSION DUTIES.Referring to the succession duties, which showed the largest increase ot any over estimates.namely, $i91.582.47.he said it would be readily understodd that this item was more liable to fluctuation than any other.At the sane time, he drew attention to the fuct that there was a vast difference between the laws of the various provinces respectiog succession duties, the result being that some estates had to pay these duties m more than one province, which lie considered unfair.e bad, thereiore, com- mubicated with the treasurers of (ome of the provinces concerned and ad proposed tBat there should be a conference for the purpose, if possible, ot assimilating the provincial laws on the subject.He next dealt with the only item ot receipts which had proved less than estimated, the Railway Subsidies lax, and which had fallen short by $5,584.41.saying that this source of revenue had iven bis predecessors and was giving im a great deal of trouble and that of all the soulless corporations which a treasurer had to contend most obdurate were some railway 70! panies.Comparatively few of the nies or persons operating for \u2018hem ad wade the returns or the payments required of them under the acts.Ta this connection, he mentioned that in \u2018hr tario, a commission on the subject cf railway tazation, was advocating a tax of 3 percent of the gross earnmgs ot all railways operating in that nrovince, compared with which the small tax upon the met earnings of the roads, which had been heavily subsidized in this THE MONTREAL WEEKLY WITNESS.progressive policy for

the goneros- ity of Sir William Macdonald im (he following terme: \u2014 \u2018Permit me, sir, before 1 pase {irom this subject of Agriculture to remind you of what is already so well known, that one of our great philanthropists, who has done so much for higher edusation in the province, is now about to employ of his ability and of his means to the erection of what will probably be the finest

this House when 1 express my unbounded delight and satisfaction at the prospect of so soon having such an addition to the educational :natitu- tions of our province.\u2019 FINANCES FOR NEXT YEAR.For the next fiscal yesr ending on June 30, IWS, he estimated the total ordingry receipts at $483,922.87; the total ordinary expenditure at $4,973, 220,08, and the total extraordinary ex\" penditure (less railway subsidies) at $162,500.81, making a total expenditure of $4,515,819.87, which would leave a sur plus of $48,103.00.The extraordinary ex- nditure contemplated was om public uildings, works, etc, including tbe au- nex to the Montreal Court House, Sherbrooke Court House, St.lyaciathe Dairy Sclicol and Matapedia aud Cape Ubat iron bridges.Under the heading of cash operations he said the Provincial Bank deposit on June 30 last was less by $9,964.81 \u201chan on the previous June JW, but it ahoula not be infcrred from this that the f#- nancial condition of the province was worse.It should be borne in miad that during the year the debt had been re duced by $100,212.07 and that $10,300.48 had been paid over and above what had been received from Sherbrooke for the construction of its Court House, besides $50,500.00 on other public works.Altogether he claimed that, from whatever view point the public accounts were considered, it woulll seem that the ve ernment were keeping within their means while ut the same time not starving any of the departments.As rds the liabilities and assets, he described the changes in thrm consequent upon the reductions in the debt already mentioned as effected during the year.He showed that the net decrease of liabilities bad amounted to $130, 00501 and the net incresse of assets to MD.117.06, which left the excess of lubr- lities over assets $26,121,450.96 cn June 30 last as compared with 826,290.672.03 on the previous June 30\u2014a difference less of $169.212.07.Reductions had peeti made of $36.334.87 in the funded debt and of $35,502.32 in the unfunded debt, leaving the former at $24,617,300.64 and the latter at $1.504,000.32, whith made the total debt still unprovided tor $28, 120,450.96 on June 30 last.He also explained the progress made in the conversion of the debt, showing that he total amount of bonds thus tar converted is $7,492543.65 and the present antval saving of interest was equal to $35,454.82.QUESTION OF CHARITIES.Ite drew special attention to the ques tion of charities, comprising nts to hospitals and various charitable institutions, to which sssistance is annually granted, amounting to $45210.75.But he added, that this did not represent all that was given in this way.Under the bead of \u2018alis: -Ilaneous services,\u201d various province, was a very small one indeed.other sums had been paid for charitable province bad paid for railway subsidies $12,561,228, on which it was paying a fixed annual interest charge of 607.0614), and, os he believed all there roads were prosperous, it was anly reasonable that the government shonht insist that they should contribute towards the payment of this heavy interest charge, even if it had to bring them before the courts.He intended to take the matter in hand seriously after pro rogation.EDUCATION \u201c QUESTION.Explaining certain excetses in the estimated expenditure, he sid that that in the public debt was due to the interest payshle to the Dominion on the amount deciared by the arhitra\u2018org to he owing to Quebec on the disputed sc- counts with the Dominion and Ontario, while that of $02,473.38 in the adminte tration of justice was occasioned by the great expense inc for ceiminat rosecutions and the nuwarrantahle pro- ongation of the criminal terina in .ome districts.In this connection he made 1 strong A! | to the judges and\u2018 rown officers keen down expensen.As for the excess of $11,990.50 in the education expenditure, he said that it was ac counted for by the fact that 812.000 more had been spent on night schools \u201chan during the previous year, He also de clared thal the criticisme about the government not spending the same \u201cnm per capita on the common and high schools an was spent years ago were unfounded, and that the comparisons instituted by certain newspaners hetween the expenditare on education in 1878 and in 19M were hazed on quite Inror- rect figures.the expenditure on adura- tion generally in 1878 having been «nly 2376.241.19.nn compared vith $4£2.384 80 in 1904.He added.however.that the present Premier intended to devote epee cial efforts towards mproving the common schools; that to do thin nddt- tionn] grants would have to be made to them, and that provision would be made during the session for a considerable increase in that direction.The incremem in the expenditure for colonisation and aurleulture he also explained: sai uierts made.to keep Wp 8 \"4% 1 ' \u2018 + { t purposes, so that last year the payments to charities really amounted to $51,430.73, while in addition $489,406.13 had been paid for lunatic asylums, reformatory and industrial schools and the Provincial Board of Health, or about 15 1-8 percent of our available revenue.The demands upon our exchequer fur the maintenance of the asylums and reformatory and industrial schools had increseed, and were incremsing, from year to year.It would be seen upon reference to the supple mentary estimates that an additional sum would have to be voted towards defraying the expenses of our aaylume last year, for he was sorry to say the number of inmates has been, and is, on the increase.The resson why he was de parting from the usual custom and was drawing the attention of the House to this matter was in order that the members and the public generally might realize what a large percen of our available revenue is being to these purposes, and that they may appreciate the mabiity of the government to favorabiy respond to every demand in this direction, Laxtly, he alluded to the questions affecting the disputes between the province and the Dominion ing the n- terest on certain trust funds, etc., which still remained unsettled, but it had been agreed to submit these disputes to the kxchequer Court for decision, and a bill to that effect would be brought in this wession.As for the arbitration between the Dominion and Untario and Quebec, no progress had made since last session owing to the tederal and provincial elections taking place this year, but after prorogation be intended to make every effort to revive the arbitration.He also stated that nothing definite bad been done regarding the readjustment of the Lominion subsidies to the pro vinces, but be bad every.resson to believe that steps would be taken to resch a decision on the subjeet immediately af- i the

that 1s they never get the big money that such borses occasionally briag.it is the trainer or the mau that develops them that wakes the money, and most farmers haven't got the time nor «kill to train such horses.And again, therv is only eme in « great manv that bring the prices: |i they haven't the apeed they sell comparatively cheap.Then.there is the Coach or neasy harness borse that sells very well providing Le hae quality with style and action.These horscs will sell in pairs so they must be well matched and nice ly trained, accustomed to the sights and scunds of the city, such a: steam cars, street cars, automobiles, , $0 :hat they ave perfeytly sale when hitched to family carriage.On the farms they do mot see such things and theretrre will not bring the big prices until they are educated.Taking all iu all, I think the dranzat horse is the most protitable one tor farmer to raise.The term \u2018drau à plies to horses weighing 1.600 ibs.more, but ua good many norses that are put on the market in working order or in thin condition weighing 1,500 'be.or even 1.430 lbs.that could Le raade to weigh 1,600 lbs.or mure if properly fitted for market.Have them fat where they are ready to sell.the larger the horse, il he quality.the wore he will bring.Those weighing from 1,300 be, up to the draught weight are cated chunks and sell fairly well, but not with the draught elass.So in breeding we shou!d select our best mares of good weight and quality, bring good feet and iegs, ond breed them to a wood horse.When veu find a horse that breeds well with your mares, use him as long as you get good colts.You will thus have a lot of coits of the same disposition, conformation, and color, so that von can match up teams.It takes all three of these to make a perfectly matched team, Yon can spmetimes put a three-year-old ind four-year-old or a four and five or five and six-year-old together and mate them up better, as a_uicely matched team al- \u2018ways brings a little more money tham 1 not mat The least defect in 8 matched team is color.After all there o bad color for a good horse.The brood mazes, in fact all horses and colts that are not at work in the winter, should be turned in a good aised , every day unless it is stormy.is yard should not be icy, as there of them falling and getting hurt.We stable all our horses and aoits nights, feed cats and clover hay with some bran twice a day.When spring comes he careful of the brood mares and any other horses that may have been wile during the winter, Work them lightly at tirst, taking some time to get them used to the work; in this way you can de inore work and have your horses 14 better condition when yon are throngh with the spring work.1 preter to have the colts come about the first of June, as by that tine we have our spring work und can give the mares a better chance.Have a vican roomy bo stall; it 1s weil to whitewnoh it every year, disntect 18 with some good dismfectant and be on hand when the little fellow appears.Feed thie ware lightly for a few days, increasing het fexd gradually.M you have to work the mare never let the colt, follow her.Keep it in the stable snd bring the mother in at the middle of the forenoon and afternoon to get the colt suck.The colt will soon arn to eat oats with his mother.Give him all he will eat twice a day or leave the hl of the out box open and let him help nireelf.If the mare and colt are on ture, feed her night and morning eo that the colt will learn to eat oats.When we want to wean them they are eating oats anil hay and they do not get a back set.Ï have seen farmers let their nares and colts run on the pasture alone and when they wanted to work the mares, would shut the colts up in the barn.where they would worry and fret, and not knowing how to eat oats, would get a buck-et that they would never get over, ; | Weaning is a critical peiiod in the lite of a colt.Put a halter vn it and te it beside its mother at might.\u2018etting 1b run with ite mother in .he day time for a few days; then wrun at altogether, but do not keep it tied in the stable ail the time.Gwe it a box tall or yard, or better, a pasture with some other colt yearlings, or two-year-olds, that it is acquainted with, and it will grew right along.Fesl it well the first winter.give it the best hay you have, some corn fudder, plenty of oats, a little bran and some carrots if you have them, so be that it never los:s its colt fat.Alter the pasiure is good, gradually decraase the oats until 1t is on pasture alone.It will grow fast and go into winter quarters in fine condition.; Feed them well the next winter.in fact we always feed well.1 have heard farmers say that if you want « good tough horee you should let them rough it out doocs in storms with little or no im] have seen some of these colts and the only toughness 1 could see about them was their looke\u2014they did luok pretty tough.1 like to break these colts to harness in the winter or spring before they are three years old, hitch them up with their mother, i she is a good, stesdy animal, or some other steady horse that they are acquainted with, Work them lightly until they = accustomed to the work.Never work a colt until it very tired; some people think you should tire them out the first time you hitch them up.Do not do it, you may spoil them altogether.Most of us are trying to do the work on our farms without enough horses.We bad better have an extra horse or = three-year-old colt.In this way we can change horses and give the brood mare and three-year-old colt a rest at times, The trick is turned.The harder that you buck this LONDON Spring Steel\u2014eolled, not kinked, The stron fea right well farmer\u2018 for farm Full working LE not sold La yous town, its recoil as now you've ol st 408050 rods day iu à farmer's ackroctions.oA sesh machine.London Fence Machine Co.Limited.LONDON AND CLEVELAND.Western A.KE.Hinde & THE a + a .Ste Phelps & Re a nt USE Bout, Summer PRL sel embodies SIMPLICITY combined with great strength and efficiency\u2014thege sre features followed through the entire construction of the BIBBELL DISK HARROW.The FRAME locks to the gangs, nr sections, with à simple part tara\u2014aad can be put together or detached in an jnstant~bandy feature this, The team hitches well back pear their work.THRER or FOUR horses can be used.TW Taner Bers between the Plates k OMAPE BLADES clean the cuttin BISSELL DisK.SIMP Rend us your address pu à postal card, we w OMe.the features of the out all sods or trash while the 8 RONG, a00 | cheerfully give you further ia.formetien.1 Addren 7.K BISOELL, Pept.B, Slora, Ont, 4 Jenna edges\u2014 These are only some of THE MONTREAL WEEKLY WITNESS.tance, gets 8 sore wm rest and heal it up.Whereas, if we are obliged % work him all through spring work we pos have a shoulder that will always ther In conclusion, remember what I told vou about haviug your horses iat when hey are ready to sell the fat Horse always sells the best.\u2018eed them good, healthy.wholesome food dut no drugs.in fattening a good deal of corn can be used with oa's, oil meal and some roots.\u2014 ney SECURING THE GOOD DAIRY COWS Ta get together an extra good collec tion of dairy cows requires more skill, patience and perseverance than any other object à dairyman may have except that of keeping them so aîter they are gathered, writes \u2018UC.E.C to the \u2018Prairie Farmer\u2019 Two methods are open, both having objectionable features.One is to buy them.And because we can.uot tell with any certainty by the looks of the cow or the color of the cream what she is, this method is full of disap- pointients, and is oiten a failure.Few dasrymen will sell their best cows, if they kmow which they are, aud only a few are expert enough to select them.If we test them with scales and Babcock test it takes time; snd if the test is \u2018a- vorable the owner puts the price out of sight, The olher method is to rear them.The objections are a lack of suitable food where the milk is sent to the factory, and the waiting for thew to grow.The possibilities of success are greatly in favor of rearing them.be selected with a view to oblaining à vigorous, healthy mother, of great producing power, Such cows are apt to be & littie course end bony, not taking on {at camly.\u2018Fhe sire should be a clean, smooth animal of tested stock.and used nierely to produce life and good shape in the offspring, depending on the dam for the productive power.I know of four generations, descendants from one cow, that have records of seventy-tive pounds of milk per day, Both ts should mature, and for the best results the dem should be dry for three months before calving.\u2018The calf should be perfect in form, teats weil placed, and teeth matured.It should be taught to drink at its firet meal, and should not be given too much of the dam's milk.Owing to our artificial methods, the milk is liable to be too rich and produce fever.\u2018The milk trom a cow longer in milk will be better.New milk should be fed for two or three weeks.The stomach of young Animals are very susceptible to change in the food, and the organs of the stomach should be strengthened by natural 100d until in good working order.Should the stomach be disarran by too much, or too cold milk, or poisoned by food which is soured or ful of germs, the scouring which results will weaken and render the animal unfit for high feeding for great records when older.In after years the bad effects of that attack will be apparent.Une mistake may ruin the calf's future.\u2019 The future great producing cow must not be taught, while a calf, to convert its food into fat, but into mest and muscle.Habits once fixed are hard to break, and erroneous habits should not be formed.A fat veal call would not make a good milking cow, Feed for all the growth possible, and as little fat.The future tness of the dairy cow depends on the first year's care fully as much as on its pedigree.Feed wheat middlings and hay, so that the calf will be eating some each, dry from the ma at three weeks of age.Bulky feed will distend the stomach and give capacity.No pinched up, narrow, contracted dairy cow can consume fond enough to supply the daily waste of the body, and produce a large quantity o: milk at the rame time.At six months the calf should look like a miniature cow, nad not like & race horse.Breed at nine months, and teoi liberally of protein foods.l'he milk producing organs will come into use, and be sti ted by the birth of the calf at the Lime of approsching maturity.The demsad on the a to produce milk witli prevent li L feeding from fattening the animal, and fix a habit of converting food into the rights products without stopping growth.Milk the heifer as Jong as her Jispodi- {tion aud scventitic Leading will keep er going.ility to hang on is produced by teaching and feeding.Do not peglect, however, to keep her growing.She ahould gain in good hard flesh sll the time until fully matured.\u2018The rearing of a heifer calf wo thet it shell be à rec- ord-breaker requires more skill than to run a railway, more patience than Job had, and the personal attention of an interested and practical owner.It is the man behind the stock that secures their success.rfp CALL FOR BETTER COWS Prof.Eckars, of the Missouri College of Agriculture, saya: \u2018The milk by the average P Missouri cow will sell for sbout $30 ut be the eremmery or when made into first.clase butter.A good cow of the dairy breeds will make ut least cash income every yur, 1 haves of about fifty Missouri farmers who « income of from $30 to $100 per cow every year, and these figures do not include the income from the calves and pigs fod on the skim milk.\u2019 * \u201cBut, says one, \"milking is à tremendous task.\u201d As à matter fact, it takes only sixty hours\u2019 time, abeut #8, to milk à cow six mol \u201cLast year the cab income from the herd at the col farm was 08250 à cow for butter sold and 912.50 per cow for sailk, shim milk, and calves, maki;

only a few hatched.\u2019 Such a pity! Such a waste of time and eggs! They blame the hen, weather, and, in fact, everything but thomseives.Poo- ple of course learn to batch chickens by hatching them, but there are a few facts which the farmers must bear in mind and follow closely and carefully if he would succeei in batching the little biddies, with the hen.Eges must be fertile.Eggs should be well formed.\u2018Tugs ougbt to be from strong and active fowls.Egg«

fowls well mated are usually fertile.Jiggs laid by puliete and eggs aid et the be- gininng and ending ot the laying period are not so apt to be fertile.ly experience it has been found that sil fertile eggs will not hatch, but you can rely upon monet of them.look for the average sized egg when selecting for setting.An cgg thet is very wuch smalier or very much larger than others from the same fowls or eggs which are out of the usual sbape shourd not be selected.Keep your egge clean from the time they ure laid until they are hatched.I it happens that the eggs become dirty while the hen is sitting, clean them with some warm water, and after wiping them dry replace them in the neset.Io not let any gresss get on your eggs.Eggs left covered with filth soon become affected with disease, which kills the batching germs of the egg, Fowls of the right age, healthy and Sctive will most likely give you egze that will batch out littie chickens whica will withstand many berdships and de- vedp into strong and vigorous fowls, Many people wonder why their little chicks are so tender, why they will not get hardships, and live through dislike others.No doubt by a little effort you can

coru belt.Already th:y have firmly established thenweives 1m some sections.It is the firm conviction of the \u2018Prairie Former\u2019 that sooner or later the farmers of these sections, in spite of the high prices that land comwainds, are gong to turn to the sheep and consider it as much a feature of the farm as the steer or the hog.Wesiorn ranges srs yrow- ing smaller and exteas:ve sheep produc tion is becoming restricted, but the de mand for mutton is rapidly incresmag.In his annual report General Manager Leonard, of the Union Stock Yards, in commenting upon the sheep situation, covers the matter in the following lan- guige :\u2014 \u2018During the last decade « most re markable growth io th: demand for mutton has taken place in the United States and England.The demand for wool is aleo increasing and values rising.the other hand, the worid\u2019s supply of sheep is decreasing.Owing to long droughts, both Australia and Bouth America are short, while :n this coua*ry y experience some have learned that the range territory is being rapidly re- eggs about the seme time will, if stricted and its ability to supply mut- good, hatds in twenty-one days.hin ton and wool is unequal to Roe de ui very important on account of the ma waste of time in fooling with eggs which require more time than that to batch out.It hes been found that thoss re quiring more than twenty-one days are weak and cannot be ruised successfully.A nest should be made in a box room 14 inches wide, 14 inches high and 16 inches long.A soap box often serves the purpose well.The box should be covered on top, bottom amd all sides except the upper half, where the hen is to enter.lhe opening should have a slat shutter which would serve to kee the sitter trom being unduly dieturbed, Lhese little rooms or boxes can be placed in a continuous row around the wall of a room while the hens are sit- tng.\u2018The nests or boxes should be about eighteen inches above the ground dor ing cold rather, hen the weather gets warm i t tier to arrange nests on the ground in this climate.Leave boxes so that they may be easily moved, You will want to fake them out and give them a thoro cleaning st least at the end of every betehi .Aa making the nest it would well to wme first some woft soil or dry mand, shaping it up from the bottom of the nest so that the centre will be two inches lower than the sides, but let the élant be gradual.Cover this with hey ot something like it about two inches deep, keeping the same sbape.A few tobaoco stems, camphor balls or sulphur on top of the send or other dry soil will

farmer «6 & méans of increased income and soil fertility.\u2019 At the present time sheep and lambs are very high, so that the purchaser seeking stock ewes finds difficulty in se curing sny at pricss he can afford to pay.In view of this fact we do not advise farmers to immediately rush into the eheep business.A reaction is com- ng when values will decline.At pres ent the wise course see ns to favor timely preparation with the ultimate intention of huying a flock when prices are such that there is no question of wisiom of the investmest.\u2014\u2014 FEEDING THE DAIRY HERD 1 should be most happy if I were «ble to tell you just the best system of 1eed- ing to bring out and develop all that 1s seible in 8 cow which has dairy poss- ilities in her.says Geo.C, Mumpn- rey, animal husbandryman, at \\Wisconsin College of Agriculture.1f 1 could answer this question satisfactorily, there would be no farther need of experinen- tation and investigation along the line of feeding dairy cattle.It would answer the question as to which is the more satisfactory, « wide or narrow ration; it would compound & ration for each dairy cow in the state, and these are Lbings which I do not intend to do.No fixed ration can be given for any one herd.Cows will vary too much for one thing in what they require as individuals snd at different stages in their Jactation period, and the great variety of teeds at our dispossl is another thing to prevène our discussing fixed rations.It may be of interest and serve as «\u20ac basis for some to know that the average daily ration fed to twenty-one cows in our besrd a year contained 22.05 dry matter, 2.19 pounds digest.le protein, and 13.20 pounds digestible carbohydrates and fat.The nutntjve ratio of this ration was 1:6:0, \u2018The av weight of the cows was 1,076 pounds, and the average production per cow was 20,58 pounds of milk and #80 pounds of fat.This ration mmounted to about five ands 2 hay, forty unds of corn ge, and

Last week opened with Mon: lost to the trading element vo Well Street, and the holi { Jeoling.which Le useslly nything but buoyant, was a \u201cetarding [lurlusacs to the accomplishment of any great volume of business.As a matter of fact, the market has fallen, although geatly, from the high pinnacle of à few weeks ago and will have lo be ve formed before any further can take place.Un \u2018Tuesday, therb were all-round losses; on Wednesday the bulls had à look in, und made prices jump in -a manner reminiscent a month ago.This did not last over a day, however, as towards the end of the week there was à alumo of more than the ususl proportion.These fluctuationes up and down ave only to be expected before the readjustment esh be thoroughly carried out, and while prices are tuo high now to warrant aaother bull market, there is no fear, on the other band, of any violence in us downward diree- tion, Neverthelsss, the whole situation is critieal, sud speculstors will have to use caution in their investments for some time to come.As an instance of how good times as discounted on Wall Street may be taken the estimated quarterly returns of the United States Steel Company, which, although they showed such a magnilicent increase over leet year, were expected to be even better to the extent of several million dollaze.The consequence was a sudden drop in the proferred and common stock the company.conditions on, the local ir eee exceed uist 1» sympa wit ow York, ped th is no special feature of note, excepting, , the severe Ce «line in Canadian Pacific.\u2018This ateck, which has been above the 150 nurk for some time, fell away to 148at one time during the week.Other stocks were quiet, and lower as a general rule, but nothwith- standing the ion in Wall Street, local conditions remain very promising, there being the minimum amount of lig dation nano the stocks, bi Hol are apparent etermined on higher prices, on the strength of the prosperous condi tions of the country at .The pnce changes since the previous repre- sent a reduction of from one to two cent all round on the local ist, which ie most satisfactory when the prevailing canditions on tbe New York markat are lered.thre and a half maillon dollars, The| BS: by BE 321 MR REIGN LR failure of this man, who heid the ves- Jase mn ponsible ition of president of the ARI.1 rst Nat ual Bank o Midwaukee, wes B June | od M caused directly specu in ent - ane futures, and this is not ail, as he bas \u201d srs = Bl $x confessed practically to stealing 31,450,- TOME Maral 161% fd 16 3 000 of the money entrusted to him by| Pazranago érecks the depontors oi tbe bank over which Gestin.3 Q Juiy1S 113 Leg 18 us 0 he held so much control.Une wonders Ire.cop-yo 9 A 2 how many Bigelows .re stealing on via.3% H.12 1 à scale of more or less magnitude.Many Fa ny July 18 = ue a in \u20ac would, no doubt, be om the right side of Maar Eu ey fig ox oe a the market when the crash came, and : will now be able to convince \u2018their| Pen» friends of their high moral standing and gate : Bil = le Ie 1 & business integrity.The (ates wheat] ogivie\u201d 3 M Jussi lis 1 154 \u201c party ie responsible for much, for more, M8 RB XH.Juiy 1 Jo 108 10) perhaps, then may ever see the light of [he Wass ¥ Jusel Wy 119% 100% day.While the corner lasted thej, .00s farmer reteived very excellent returns,| pellrel 2 Juty 18 10% 1 \"I TE but there are farmers in our own west| Men.Tei 3 Lis To 150% 10 dd who have been caught with heavy stocks Mon.Cet 1 15 119 206% x 1 of wheat on their hands, simply because AS 745] Le an woe 2% ig they gambled on the chance of the bull| Dem a 4 2 = .party being able to send up prices to nn \u201c = L This week.Cles- Prise .Div.Pag.mes ta igh, Low.Mig, Low.lug.Bre ure cr R.aH 04.1 Tox, tf mg out Hem ee .IQ Mays MA 60% 52 n so, » 80 44 wm 112, MWY Ny MW 100.60 4.8 of 1 La A Eu rH HBL BY o » \u201c oa e a Li mH \u201d 70 .8 M 8 = men 80 » 17 oe in n ne .He « #?wae .MONEY AND SXCHANOE.MR.W.C.J.RING WILL MANAGE Meatreal Erchange quetations: BANK OF COMMERCE BRANCH Between Banks.AT BIMCOE.New York 4unds .1-48-3-# Me.W.C.J.Kiag, assistant of Sterling,00 Gays.9 1-32\u20141-16 the Canadian Bank of Commerce in Sterling, demsnd .av or oo h\u2014i1-32 res] will be manager of the a Sterling, cables .0.19-23 Sltecoe.Mr.Machensie, the Porle, francs short , .6.16\u20141-21 The exchange value of &1 sterling is\u2014 81.26.6 to 34,36.8, ji New York, May 1, Nosn~foney on call y ot 2% 8 % me prime utile paper, te 416;

kept open by tbe use of the milk- lng tube.Great care must be exercised iz using both the bistoury and tube that they sre perfectly aseptic\u2014sbould be boiled before using in & weak carbolic solution and with carbolated vastline.1 would advise as soon &s anything of the kind is noticed that the milking tubs bs used, cleaned as above, and the teat rubbed with a little campborated oll.Cold

She comes!\u201d Close back agninst the hôuses the people were mamed.There was no need of official command, for the populace was moved by a common gladness and reverence.There was but one instance of what would have seeraed to a etranger a breach of decorum.Down the street eame Meph waving bis cratch like the baton of a mars and shouting: .Make way! Make way for the Daughter of Jerusalem! ay for the bride of Ben Shuttuck.No one rebuked the Jad, for the story of his part in bringing about the regeneration of the popular Greeek into a Jew was well known.\u2018Bless the boy!\u2019 was the only comment heard as his heels i conducted both himself and the pageant that fa \u2018The rocession wes more artistically heralded by bands ci players on flute and tabor, by those leading the multitude in the ancient marrisge song of the ple.Amid s hundred torches was seen the gigantic form of Judss to- ether with his brethren.For this r at all traces of Lolemaity and care were banished from face, 38 udes he jed the \u2018friends of the bridegroom, honored rdiog to the ho A bride to tom, were conducting he Bouse of her biwband.As Deborah appeared surrounded by ber maidens the ciety \u2018Long live Judas Maccabasus!\u2019 werd quickly changed.Joy! doy to the daughter of Kikish! ve 5 erusalem!\u2019 rang from a thousand lips.ir Sappy crowd hurried along as impelled 4 their own huxms, until the bride disappeared within the portal of the house a Shattuck.An bour later Judas mt alon chamber in the palace on Sion.Th in his je stave ss they floa by looked through \u2018he re atmosphere almost visi:ly radisnt| high window, bat did not disturb the wi the [reise of victories such as| soul which at that bour was moving beaven never before given to mas.de: as ound as theirs Nor did his brethres n rob- wn alone him\u2014in ine to make them fool due thin} which wes » puopziety; ler still to be found among the people, build- barders.their part in the problem of the renova- | $ Deborah, the Daughter off bo, fone the da: ing summons all nature \u201cactivity, repris Would it not swakem the tremendous forces of this great heart for its work in resurrecting & nation?the bron: the same that Apollonius bad rong (hres years befors when be was Vanquished by the spirit of De-1 § borab in this some hall \u2018Call the Captainst\u2019 ; His chief officers enme with evidence of hasty toilet\u2014for eelerity never waited y] He\" sentences, as he addr then, were laconic, aa if he assuméd that his hearers had listened at his bmin snd already knew his thoughts.\u2018Friends, I learn t the men of the south.The tribesmen of the Jor dan and beyond are preparing to strike us.Tyre and Bidon are enrolling their tained bands.Every man, then, m diness by the turn of the moon!\u2019 ith a wave of his band he dismissed The result of this order belongs to history, which tells bow the invincible men of Judas, Fe on ue south.swung to east, rom east to north, then from north to west, and then from west to south again\u2014the swing nf the mighty Hammer of Israel\u2014crushing à hostile tribe at every stroke, until Judah lay quiet within all its desolate brighter in thos days than that of Gershom ben Shat- uck.and no foeman gave more despet- ate battle than Nadas, son of Yusef, Sheikh of Jericho.(THE END.) \u2014\u2014\u2014 BEGINNINGS OF CLUBS.{From the London \u2018Telegraph.\u2019} The first club of modern England seems to have been the circle at the Mermaid that Bir Walter Raleigh fo: and Shakespeare joined.But in the seven- No sword glea like mushrooms.There was the Cal Head Club, whose members met and} dined off calves\u2019 heads, to show their contempt for the deca Then came the Kit-Kat Club, which, acocrding to Addison, took its name from a mutton pie.One Christopher Kat, à pastry-cook, of Bhire lane, was a distinguished constructor of mutton pies, and ia productions were called Kit-Kats.The elub meeting in his house and eating his pies acqui the pies\u2019 name for its own.CHILDREN'S CORNER.THESE BUSY DAYS.There abrays is something 1'm wanting to But never can manage to hustle it through.e's my stocking to ders and my (M.pue other most ab y t \u201c mys, ore a But the time never comes with a second to 6) !

The team of eleven men is usually di- viued into seveu rushers or forwards, who stand in a line facing their seven opponents; a quarter-back, who stauds Just behind this line; two balf-backe, à tew yards behind the quarter-back; and finally, a fullback or goal tender, who stands at kicking distance behind the bajf-backs.This gives the genersl for mation, but is, of course, dependeat upon the plays to be executed.Before commencing practice, s man should bs chosen to act as referes, umpire and linesman, for in practice gatues 1t is hardiy necessary to bave more than one official.The two sides then toss up, and the one winning the toss has choice of goal or kick-off.If there be a wind, the winner will naturally and wisely take the goal trom which that wind is blowing aud allow his opponent to have the ball.IT theré be no advantage in the goals he may choos the luck-off, and his opponents in that case \u2018ske whichever goal they like.The two teams then lime up; the holders of the val placing iL upon the exact centre of the tield, and the oppcnents being obliged to stand back in ir own territory at least ten yards, until the ball has been touched with the foot.Some man of the side having the kick-off must then kick the ball at least ten yards into the opponents\u2019 territory.Vreterably, therefore, he will send it across tbe goal line or eles as far as he can, and still have Lis forwards reach the spot in sesson- to prevent too great headway being ace quired by the opponents\u2019 interference, but be will not kick it across tbe side line.The opponents then catch it and return it by a kick, or they run with it.Jf one of them runs with it he may be tackled by the opponents: As soon as the ball is fairly held; that is, both player and bali brought to & standstiil, the referees blows his whistle snd the runger has the ball \u2018down,\u2019 and someone upon his side, usually the man called the fuap-back or centre-rush, must piace the bell on the ground at t t for a \u2018scrimmage,\u2019 as it is termed.The ball is then put in play again (while the men of each team keep on their own side of the ball, under the penalty of a foul or off-side play) by the snsp-back\u2019s kicking the ball or snapping it back, either with his foot, or more commonly with his band, to a player of his own side just behind him, who is called the quarter back.\u2018The bull is in play, and both sides may press forward as soon as the ball is put in motion by the snap-back.Naturally, Lowever, us the quarter-baek uss ually pesses it still further behind him to a hali-back, or back, to kick or run with, it is the opposing side which is moss anxious to push forward, while the side having the ball endeavor by all law- {ful means to retard that advance until their runner or kicker has bad time to execute his play.lt is this antagonis:a of desire on the part of both sides that has gives rise to the special legislation regarding the use of the hands, body and arms of the contestants\u2014and n- ners must carefully note the distinotidm.As soon as the anap-back has sent the ball behind him, he has really placed sil the men in bis own line off-side; that is, between the ball and the opponents\u2019 goal, and they, therefore, can theoret:- cally Secupy only the position in which they stand, while the opponents have the legal right to run past them as quickly an possible.For this reason, and bear ing in mind that the mea \u2018on side\" have the best claim to right of way, it has been enacted that the side having pos- nession of the ball may not use dar hands or arme, but only their bodies, whea thus off-side, to obetruct or interrupt their adversaries, while the side runnipg through in the endeavor to stop the Maer, of secure possession of the ball, may use their bande and arms to make passage for themselves, (To be Continued.) \u2014\u2014 \\ STAMPS OF ENGLISH UNIVERSI- TL, (From the \u2018Collestor\u2019s Magasing.\u2019) Probably to very few persons outside the ranks of the stamp collectors is it known that certain of the colieges at the two great universities vf Oxiord and Cambridge for a period of years used postage stamps of their own creation to prepay intercoliege and other local correspondence.In isswng postage stamps for the prepayment of their own correspondence the colleges undoubtedly took ther stand upon \u2018certain privileges and im- munities in the matter of letters and correspondence\u2019 (1 um quoting the Rev.Haynes Cummings) which the two wai- versities had enjoyed \u2018from time imme moral,\u2019 and which were confirmed from time to time by seta of parliament.\u2018it ia certain,\u2019 adds Mr.Hayman Cummings, \u2018that for a bundred years, perbaps for several centuries pest, the considerable correspondence of the several thousand members of the Oxford University was jertied, as might well be supposed, by be messengers of various according to a system, to this the introduction of the imperil postage stamp in 1860 made no differ eme: e.The stamps, of were only an outward and visible token ot the Une honored system of letter earrying in the The stamps have tem, with certain modi- remains in force to this day.1t may even be eleimed that the stazmpe have mot entirely vanished, for in the case of one college, as the lev.Hay- man Cummings informs us, \u2018the college arts en the the letter for 1 ip of the envelope frase horses cefiveg Old Shaw, the Life- fuardsman.WHY HE'S A MODEL OF Tiik WHOLE BRITISH ARMY HIMSELF, (By E.Bruce low, M.A) There etill live in this country descendants of a Waterloo hero who was known throughout the length and breadth of tireat Uritain, and whose glorious desth on that field was universally lamented.Lite Guardsman Shaw was looked upon by the citizens of London and ot his na- tire county of Nottingham as the embodiment of courage, coolness, and bulldog tenacity, \u2018Uld Shaw, the Life Guardsman!\u2019 says Dickens in \u2018Bleak House\u2019 \u2018Why, he's a model of the whole British army in bimself, Ladies and gentlemen, 1d give « filty-pound note to be such a figure of a man.\u2019 He bad come to London from Cossll, his pative village, à short time before vutes- ing the army; an an when puygil- isn was patronized by of classes fie feats in the prize-ring brought blm to the notice of princes and peers, and rendered him the hero of the whole sporting fraternity.When he had reached the age of eighteen years he was cordial: Iy received into the ranks of the Second Life Guards.He is described as remarkably large-limbed for his age, of great muscular strength; and it is satisfactory to know bat be possessed a fair education and held a good character, with the resut that it was not long before be was promoted to the rank of eorporal, which, as is well known, corresponds to that of sergeant in line regiments.Numerous incidents in bis career at this period are still remembered in the ranks.At the beginning of the nineteenth century it was usuai for the lower orders to cast vulgar abuse upon private soldiers and on one occasion Shaw was followed and insulted by @ number of strongly built rougbs.Determined to put an end to the continuance of this practice towards himself and his fellows, Shaw resolved to tackle: the crowd, and soon threw three of their number sprawling in the gutter; but on recovering themselves they again set upon the Life Guardeman.In a few minutes he bad dealt out such a lesson to them that the whole crowd was put to Hight.18 wee at this time that he was select: ed by the well-known artist Haydon to sit as his model for some of his famous paintings.In height be was over six feet, with a fair complexion, gray eyes, light bair, and a round visage, and so magnificently developed as to be -univer- saliy + mired.» Un April 8, 1815, Shaw was virtually champion of England.Less than a month before this, Napoleon Bonaparte had returned to France from Klbs, and Wellington had burried from the Peace Conference at Vienna, with full powers as commander-in-chief of the allied army, to oppose any movement which \u2018the little Caporal' might make towards the Khiné or the Melgian capital.Shaw bad henceforth to face the sterner work of the battlefield; for, although his admirers offered to buy him out of the army when the order for foreign service was received, he refused, and the following facts, made known to us by a near relative, and, we believe, now published for the first time, make his refusal more meritorious than has hitherto appeared.It seems that when war broke out Shaw was hurriedly married before leaving England, and placed his young wife in the safe keeping of her own parents, who resided in the neighborhood of Hugely, in Staffordshire, A son was born, who remained with Shaw's widowed mother, and later, when a youth, earned a living as a miller.li Shaw was the hero of London sportemen before the war, be immediately became the idol of the whole nation at Waterloo, After a short period spent in cantonments with the First Cavalry Brigade, under Lord Edward Somerset, Shaw\u2019s regiment received orders to march to Quatre Bras on the morning of June 16, the day when Napoleon was defeating the Prussian army at Ligny, while Ney was endeavor ing to gain a similar vietory over the bastily formed advance guard of the British army, Wellington had prophe- sisd, after an inspeetion of the dispositions of the Prussian army, that it \u201cwould receive a most d\u2014d lic! * and this was amply fulfilled, with the result that the victorious British wing of the allied army was compelled to carry out a parallel retreat, so as to protect the Prussian flank and at the same time over Brussels.On June 17 Shaw\u2019 brigade saw some fighting with the french cavalry in the neighborhood of Genappe, when the Guards overthrew the lighter French lsncers, \u2018Lbereafter the retreat was completed without melestation, and the brigade took up a position on the high und through Thich the ain road to frases ran.correspondi llel high ridge was soon occupied Es the French army.The country bas been too often described to necessitate other details being given here; but the reader mey be reminded that on the extreme able of the British position lsy the STrem.chateau of mont, in the centre the farmhouse of Haye Sainte, and on tbe extreme left the village of Papeilotte.The Horse Guards were drawn up on the slope im the rear of La Haye Sainte, and here some of the fleresst fighting of the day took place.As ie well known.the soldiers spent the might of June 1 end the morning of June 16 in the greatest discomfort, after their long march from tre Bras in the pr beat contianed hrosgho a hares i trop contin [1 « night ia cal torrents, while the lightning played around, them.The men mre wr protec or upon the m ground, \" morning thorough] etiff and obil Bhaw's agireent a om \u2018 of sai M rrisqud mes, about lui blask which they rode ammedel ni prose helmet with a blues nd-red ou and a soprie white on of 0?ay Ae ved Sater they had\u2019 discarded the cuirses.Their dress was a double-breasted red eost, with blue trousers, snd they wore a sash of scarlet round the waist.Their arms were carbines, pistols and long swords.The Second Life Guards were comma: ed by the Honorable Lieut.-Colonel K.P.Lygon, son of Earl Beauchamp.At eleven o'clock, when the first can- non-shot was fired, Corporal Bhaw was engaged with some of his comrades at à distant part of the field foraging for ue plies; but he sharply called together his men, and bad joined his regiment before the first cavalry charge was made.\u2018Ane advance of Prince Jerome's corps on Hougomont took place about one o'clock; and while the attention of the British army was directed to that quarter, Bonaparte delivered his first nd attack upon the centre and left of the allied position.The French force em- | ployed vas, sf Sreswhelming strength, suc n_ producing a panic among the Dutch-Belgian troops slightly in advance of the cross-road which mark- od the crown of the ridge bebind which the allied army lay.attacking infantry force was com, of four divi sions from D\u2019Erlon\u2019s infantry, Roussell\u2019s cavalry division, a division of Light cavalry, chasseurs, and lancers, and seventy- four guns.The advance of the French wfantry compelled the British battalions to deploy into line; and so soon as this wes effected, Roussell's cavalry charged among the allied regiments and cut into « number of them, with the result that the moment appeared eo critical that Lord Uxbridge, in command of the British cavalry, was compelled to take immediate action.He ordered the Union Brigade on the left to support Picton\u2019s troops, who were being threatened by three divisions, and he bimeelf deter mined to jead Lord Edward Somerset's brigade of Guards simultaneously upon the fourth of the infantry divisions, which had reached the British line on the west o! La Haye Sainte, and, it pos sible, to overthrow at the same time the cuirassiers and carbineers composing Mo:ssell\u2019s cavalry division.In the British advance the First Life Guardsmen rode on the right, the Seo ond Life Guards oa the left, and the Dre.goon Guards in the centre.C Shaw occupied the centre of the left squadron of the Sesomd Guards, Up- posed to him was a line of cuirassiers.th forces were riding at full speed, and neither attempted to draw rein or to avoid the combat, It was remarked that in consequence of the British swords being shorter than those of the cuirassiers, the Guardsmen were forced to wedge themselves in between the files of the enemy before they could strike effectively.This they were able to do exactly as in the Heavy Brigade charges at Balaklava, by superiority of weight and strength.Lord Edward Somerset compared the ringing of the British sword upon the French armor to \u2018the hammer ing of many tinkers at work,\u2019 and the noise of the charge was soon mingled with the groans and shouts of the combatants.It was not long, however, before the masses of Frenchmen in the scrimmage were borne down and forced across the ridge by the red-coated Guardsmen, All along the flanks and rear the cuirassiers began to gallop wildly from the field, while the main body was pressed down the ascent to the plain beyond La Haye Sainte.The Second Life Guards rode obliquely through the cuirassiers, who had checked by the unexpected obstacle of a hidden hollow way (the \u2018Chemin creux\u2019 of Vie tor Hugo) cut in the ri where the cross or \u2018verd cocon\u2019 road left the main Brussels road.The Frenchmen sought to in the high ground, but were pur cued by the Life Guards, who came upon them at full speed and compelied a number of the French cavalry to return and seek concealment in the hollow way, in the hope of escaping to the main road.\u2018The Second Life Guards, however, pursued them so hotly as to be themselves thrown into some confusion by the broken nature of the ground.It was when the combatants resched La Haye Sainte that Co !
