How he his eight years in Western Canada. The Irish times publishes a narrative of the experiences of lord Shannon during the past eight years a the far West. According to his lordship s Story it was to please his father the late lord Shannon that he went out into into the Canadian Northwest. Being then Only 23 years of age he threw himself into the unconventional life lived there with All a Young Man s enthusiasm. When Kiel rebelled in 1885, Bolyn determined to take an Active part in the struggle for he had already Learned All the routine of a Soldier s life in the Rifle brigade. He therefore joined Bolton s mounted Bines organized in the Northwest for Active service in the Field and made up almost wholly of Young members of Aristo cratic English families. When the insurrection collapsed Boyle still in love with such a lie started ranching at Alberta near the Montana Frontier. That he Vas popular among his neighbors is shown by the fact not Long after taking up his Resi Dence at Alberta he was elected to the legislature representing Macleod in the Northwest Council in the autumn of in Tho following year the adventure Dos Viscount sold his ranch and went North Bunting and fishing to Battleford. He returned to Macleod in the Winter of 1887 and stayed there just Lone enough to organise another in the Middle of Winter despite the protests and warnings of Many of the most experienced trappers and Hunters he started to Craw the Rocky mountains by the Crow s nest pass and thus reached Westward to British Columbia. This is the last that was seen of the dashing and Gallant scion of Shan non up to the moment when he threw himself into his brother s arms in new York a few weeks ago. As to How he spent his time Dur ing this period lord Shannon has not much to say. I busied myself attending to my he said the other nil it to a Friend who was anxious to hear something of his trip. Every morning found me looking after my Borses and cattle assisted by one of the farm servants. I took a very great interest in my rustic dwelling working at times As hard As one of my common labourers. I did Tho work simply because i liked it it seemed to suit me More than the hard and fast society duties one is expected to fill when in of Couise when he heard that his brother was looking for him Shannon lost no time in rejoining civilization. His lordship is now 30 years of age. Exhibits for the East. One for St. John to sent of next Taes special exhibits Tor Ontario. Or. John m. Cameron of the department if agriculture is busily engaged these Days preparing additional exhibits. A suppl Meir Ary exhibit for the Toronto exposition goes East by yesterday s train. It comprises mainly vegetables obtained from the Market gardens f the City. Some very Fine samples were obtained. Five special exhibits Are also being Thesa will be sent East to or.

This exhibit will be almost As Large As he one sent East to Toronto and will leave or St. John n.b., next tuesday evening. The department is also sending a Supply of Tain vegetables etc., to the Northern Pacific t St. Paul for distribution at fairs throughout he Northwestern states. Too much and too Anch a Jar.

Farms also become spoiled when an t tempt is made to use More ground than can be worked to advantage with the help that is As a Rule each Farmer in this Dis not attempt to have one Man do the work on bout eighty or a Hundred acres and. When Here Are two men on a place the area is about doubled. The system is surely a wrong be leading to Over exertion on the Art of Farmers exhaustion of the arms and a heavy loss when a crop failure takes place. Of course some men have Eta to pay and require Large crops in order o meet their liabilities but in almost every instance the indebtedness hns been incurred y unsuccessful attempts been made to ultimate a Large Quantity of land. The deaf d condition of the country presents an almost temptation to Farmers to plow and 3w unreasonably Large Fields and by so doing Tese men themselves much anxiety rouble Hurt Sorl time heavy loss for the experience of the past shows that Ruuth Hail and Frost have each in their turn to be con ended with and As no Farmer needs or oui it o need a Hundred or two Hundred acres of pome More certain Industry should also attention of agriculturists. Hall to the editor of the free pm. Write few in re Ference to the do suasion now go Irwon relative to Hail when i wrote m few weeks ago upon the subject i merely acted non it suggestion of one of your own editorials and Aid not Lay Down any cast Iron rules for the unfolding of the echeme but Only outlined a plan which i stated might be worthy of development. If 4 provincial system ii considered better than a municipal one then let us Bare the provincial but it strikes me that it would be an ill advertisement of our country if it should be spread abroad that Hail storms were so pre Valent Here that the help of the government had to be called in in order to indemnify the people from ravages by Hail. It is magnifying the thing too much. Our province is not Over whelmed to such an extent. I believe if the government Gore the Neces sary Powers to the municipalities we Hare men intelligent enough and tames enough on our municipal boards to manage the insurance part of the business themselves. I did not suppose that a sum equal to pay off the whole of the loss by bail would be collected from the people in any one year but merely enough to pay the interest on a loan sufficient to cover the loss and a portion of the sinking fund. If each Quarter Section were assessed even 82 in municipality of six the Eum collected therefore at four per cent would pay a loss of Over How Many municipalities in our province would require any such amount to pay off Inch looses from Hail perhaps one that your correspondent of Montefiore comes from. This correspondent seems to take exception to what i wrote non the subject and after expressing some doubt As to there brim such things innocently asks me to define tin limits of a bail Belt. I might reply that there appear to be Sev eral of them but the chief one seems to be near the own door of your correspondent. If a some Fine Day would take a walk in his own neighbourhood perhaps he might be Able to discover these limits better than i can explain them. He states that he does know of a single insurance company doing this class of Busi Ness in Manitoba and requests me to inform him of one. Your correspondent should have got his information from better sources before he rushes into print or expresses his opinion so decidedly. I am informed that the North West fire insurance company did this class of business also another whose agent lives near Beulah and probably others for All i know. He also expresses his belief that an insurance system even backed by the solid support of our municipalities would not itself be financially secure. All i have to say then is god help the in the municipality from which i write it would not cripple the resources of even a few Quarter sections to pay off our losses from bail of course most of us Are aware that in the District adjoining Montefiore the people have suffered great havoc but i should have thought the value of the land itself i Hope that was spared them would have been ample to pay the damages so As to Avert such a catastrophe As your correspondent viz., rendering bankrupt the whole if it is True that this District is so badly scourged As your correspondent avers i should advise him to sell out before he gives too much publicity to this fact. But joking aside if this particular locality is always liable to such ravages by Hail As it is claimed i do not think it would be fair to expect this government to tax All alike year after year for losses sustained to such a limited area. It would be better for the people to go out of the Grain growing business and try something More ranch ing. T should Hope the people residing there were blessed with too Independent a spirit As to remain in a locality where it was found necessary to inaugurate a system of govern ment Charity and which must be collected from their neighbors in the province. Richard a Finckb. P. The above i assume that the municipalities could raise the Money required at 4 per cent. In doing so i expect that they would obtain it from the government or with the Aid of a guarantee from it. Brandon sept. 6. R. S. Or. Rep Stein g goods restored to him. To the editor of the free press. To an item in your paper sometime ago As to the seizure of a Large Quantity of watches from me while at Saska Toon for non payment of duty i have to say that after the matter bail been fully looked into by the customs authorities Here said goods were All returned to me yesterday with simply sorry we made a i have instructed my solicitors to enter an action against the Man who does the dirty work Here for the government. He kept my Good Over a month for no reason whatever which prevented me from doing business for that length of time besides Caslan a stigma upon my name and compelling two of us to come Book from Saskatoon under heavy expenses.

Walls us letter of 2nd inst., on the subject of shooting Ever unenclosed lands i think that the sex inc Dinghy Strong objection contained in it Call for some answer. The grievance complained of in such very Strong terms might be easily cured by letting his neighbors know that he objects to people shooting on his unenclosed lands. I for one have been in the habit of shooting Over or. Walls us land and never had the slightest idea that to objected. Further i do not think the grievance Likely to become a very great one in that District As men Are most willing an objection to tres pass where they know it exists. H. B. Mar chill. Millwood sept.

Farmers should go slow. Better for Grain to spoil in tile Field Thau the stack. Or. Of advocate who is sojourning in the province says the banners must guard carefully against stacking the Grain too Damp. The fins weather after such a Long spell of wet very tempting to must men to hurry the Grain into the stack but nothing is gained by such a course. It is better even to lose a position of the crop in the Field if such was to ensue than to pile the Gram up in a Damp state and thus reduce greatly the value of tha whole. Or. Weld says he has found it very beneficial when threshing Damp wheat to put a great amount of the chaff in the bin with the Grain and if very Damp even put Straw with it Wimch will not Only absorb the moisture but allow the air to circulate through the Grain and thus Aid materially in preventing heating thus preventing the Grain from becoming Musty and de in value.
