A THRILLING ADVENTURE, Narrow Escape of a Visitor from Drowning In Ladysmitli Harbor. GOOD BYE PQCTQB, Enthusiastic Gathering Testifies to Dr. Gordon's Popularity. On Friday evening a gentleman from Vancouver paid a visit to Captain snd Mn. Murray aboard the ship Kinross now awaiting cargo at tbe wharveifor Kihei, Hawaii. Accompanied by Captain Murny tbe stranger was crossing the temporary plank walk along tbe top cf] the piles by which tbe ship ii lying, when he slipped in the frozen snow sad fell into the water, sixteen feet below. The night was as black as pitch, and the stranger who is an elderly and portly man, could not swim a ttroke. The water at that point il thirty feet deep ind the ehore fifty yards off, to th. situation waa lufliciently serious. Captain Murray immediately ordered the port quarter boat lowered and thit waa done in leimanlike fashion, the sailors pulling her round the Kinross's stern in quick time. Meanwhile rnpea and life buoji hid been thrown to tbe Unfortunate gentleman wbo fortunately laid hold of oue and bo Baved himself Irom going under, He waa quickly pulled aboard the quarter boat and fetched into the cabin of the Kinross where a couple oitbe crew vigorously restored animation, and soon had him hale and hearty again. But lor tbe prompt notion of Captain Murray and hii well-trained leamen il ii not unlikely that the accident would have had a more lerious termination. OPEN LETTER.

Soma days ago, in s lengthy article, Nuaimo Herald laid s moit distorted itatement of the Lidyimith question before Its readen. In can there ihould be any ln thli aad neighboring districts >o foolish si to trust any itatement! made by Rilph Smith'! exceedingly nn- truitworthy organ, the following Unci an written. To begin with the Henld hai been â¢â badly informed in regard to this matter ai it was touohing the alleged notice at the Exteniion pitheadi to the effect that only Ladyimith men were to be employed. That report wai fain in every detail, ud the Herald wai 10 taken aback by the itorm of Indignation around by ita wanton falsehood and the itrongly-worded protests that poured la even from those who (lor tome incomprehensible reason) feel friendly toward thli public slanderer, tbat it did net dare to return to the subject, even In explanation tbat it waa unaware thit partieular falaehood wai loaded. The lateit il that Exteniion men are being forced to purchase lotijat Ladyimith, th. alternative being discharge from employment. The whole article, si slrisdy stated, ii limply an elaborate nntrnth, But even supposing forth. like ot argument that it wen true, Why need the Herald travel so far as Exteniion for .objects upon which to exerciie its wnth ud erntle imagination? , lithe Henld not aware ol thelact,' sjjd it la a positive tact which hundred! of Nanaimo people can instantiate, â â ''that wh.n the N.w Vancouver Coal ' :(3ompuy detlred to unload iti five sere iotiupon the Nanaimo minen it wat : made a condition ol employment with that company that the employeei ihould iuvMt in thoie eligible estates? 01 course then wai no coercion nnd; no thrMte.noco.no "Buy or be fired;" jest s little iodloloui presiure, just the plain fact that needt mmt. II the Herald never heard ol thli it ii deplorably Ignonnt of the inner history ol Nuaimo, a Will tome one kindly nnd the Colonist a copy of tbe Britiih North America Act? Perhapi Mr. Carnegie wonld pretent it with a library to that Us reader! could get more accurate information. In ita editorial on "Redistribution" on Saturday, Feb. let, the writer asserts that member! mmt be withdrawn from Ontario and the Maritime Province! became their population had not increaied at the lame rate as that of Quebec, which province determine! the number of repreeentativei from the other province!, But the B, N. A, sec. 51, mb tee, (4) readi: "On any inch readjustment the number of memben for a province shall not be reduced unleai the proportion which the number of the population ol tbe province bore to the number ol the aggregate population ol Canada at tbe then last preceding readjustment ol the number oi members lor the province ii ascertained at tha then lateit cemui 'to bs diminished by one-twentieth part or upwards." II any other province has tailed by one-twentieth part or upwards to keep pace with Quebec in increase oi population a reduction in repreeentation ii made, otherwiie no change takes place. Mercy seasoned the justice ol the trauma ot the act. While a province adding to its population is given ad' ditlonal representation whenever the decennial census thowi the claim, yet a province loiing a lew in population doea not suffer by reduction in membership. Some accident such ai trade depression may drive people away but belore another decade new developments may came an influx ol population and unpleasant tinkering with the representation is prevented by this benign clause of the act. Tbe next Dominion parliament will be larger, not smaller, than the present one, and the relative voting strength oi Quebec will be smaller than it iaat pretent. The Colonist seems rather hopelees about the possibility of any increase in the population ol the Maritime I'rov- incei. While not denying that in the Weit ia to be the greateit development, the establishment of the iron works at Sydney, which promise huge development, and with thla port as tho terminus cf the Canadian fast line ol Atlantic steamers, the Maritime Provinces are likely to make eome considerable progress. The sympathy of tha Colonist with the government whose painful duty it would be tn wrench members from the older provinces ii truly commendable and ihowi a deep and teeling intereit in tbe unwelcome tasks of otheri, even of politicians, but an extra perusal ol the B, N. A. would have thown the luge expenditure of pity to be unnecessary. chimpanzee tbat could produce a satisfactory character from last place that it could impart a working knowledge ol mathematics at reasonable rates would be a decided acquitition to the BritiBh Columbia teaching staff. Mr. E. V. Bodwell ol Victoria is the great sachem of the British Columbia graller Liberals. Hon. Joseph Martin lathe real leader ol the true Liberal party in this province. Mr. Bodwell's record will not bear examination; Mr. Martin's hat defied even the B, 0. elauderers. Mr. J. H. Hawthornthwaite, M. P. Lâ would have shown better judgment bad he ignored the abominable effusion ol the man Walson, ol Vancouver, which lound congenial advertieeinent in the column, ol Nanaimo Henld. But Mr, Hawthornthwaite'! rejoinder wai crushing; though, what a waite ol power to annihilate a gnat. Echoed by the surrounding hills Breaki the husb of ths silent hours. Though we may boast but littlo skill In framing words to thoughts at will, Still may the poet's heart Rejolco him in wbato'er the hour Or scene may represent and dower With bsauty that tbo meaner eye Unheeding passes coldly by. I atand In reverent thoughtful mood Neath tbe ihadow of the mighty wood, Beside k river's silent flow. Well doea the hour, tbe acene, invoke Devotion; asking naught from speeob In which the soul forgets ber yoke And yearns .the infinite to reach. How dwarfed in such an hour as tbii Ii life'i rude turmoil and iti care; When wakes tbo heart to newer bliss Voicing a hymn tbat sinks in prayer, SAM'L CLAY.

To these are bolted upright pieces 7 feet long, 2 by 4 inches, for nailera for sitlos of cage. Across the top of coge aro UBod two strips 1 by 4 Inches for each set of uprights, bolted one on each aide of upright. The inside of this frame Is boarded up with Inch plank of convenient widths. Tho lower 2% feet should closo enough to prevent animals putting their foot through tho cracks. . . On left side, three and a half feet' from bottom, should bo used a board a foot wido nnd n foot longer than tho cage. In this boro two ono Inch holes four inches from sides of board. Through these put a ploco of rope nnd tie on outside. This loop Is put over tho animal's nose nnd drawn tight by tho use of a band spike. An upright lover is used to catch tbo back of the head and draw it to tho loft side of cage. This upright should lie a strong 2 by 4 inch, 0 feet long, bolted to bottom crdsspicce near upper end, slipping tho right side, the back nnd forth between the crossploces that hold the tops of the two front uprights In place.

A line looking cow offered for sale by a dnirymuu always curries a letter ot discredit,: says W. E..;-McSpnrrow â in National Stockman. If tho unfortunate dairyman Is "poor, but honest," lie will uot soil her for a good cow. The law is be must fatten her and send ber to the butcher. But tbe dairyman Is getting very far from "brains" when he goes into tbo bcof business, and If he bought her as a dairy cow bo Is likely to feed her $20 worth of. corn nnd Bell '-.her fattened for'$30. if be la rich,.but dishonest, It is hard to tell what he will do. I could only apeak from observation. ' , Neither does a good cow take poverty . by election. It may be forced on her. She Is often not fed enough. She may have bnd brains out of balance to carbohydrates and by good feeding be brought to the position of respectability lu the dairy world for which tbe "Divinity that shapes our ends" Intended her. Surely the greatest provision of the dairy law Is feed. I I cannot understand why every farmer dairyman Is not nlso a breeder, so that he can add to the dairy law "better breeding;" nlso, then he wlll get a proper understanding ot pedigrees, for he will be making them, and the weed- lug out practice can be adhered to without an .actual, visible money loss. I have a full appreciation of the expense of raising a two or three year old cow, j but It Is easier than going out and buy- t Ing a risky one and paying tbe note. . Some claim a poor dairyman can't afford to raise his cows, but largely , wuut they cat Is never missed. It is like feeding the children that come. | donning Ibe Creamerr Chnrn. I J. Bunting of Michigan lu Creamery Journal tells how lie cleans his churn ns follows; I use a handful of sal soda nnd ono of salt, together with two ta- blospoonsful of potash or lye with four ordinary pails of hot water. I pour this in tlie churn nnd start It going, but I am always sure to leavo tbo venting plug out. I run tbo churn for about two minutes, draw the water off tuto a washtub and use It to wash my strainer, butter ladle, paddle, brlcker, etc. After I have washed my churn outside nnd Inside witb tbls solution I pour cold water into it nnd rinse it by ' running for about two minutes. After drawing off the 'water I sprinkle with salt. 1 Inspection of Dairy Product!, I The practical guarantee as to purity placed upon export dairy products by tbe department of agriculture ought to aid In permanently increasing our hold upon foreign consuming markets. Sec-' rotary Wilson bus decided to establish under tho law a system of Inspection of dairy, products Intended for export' at Boston, New York, Chicago aud Sin 1 Francisco. A beginning wlll bo made in a tentative way with a view ot perfecting tho Bcrvlce. â New England Homestead. Proper Couitllna of Sheep. The coupling of sbeop Is 11 subject tbat in many cases receives too littlo attention, says W. J. Clarke In Wool Markets and Sheep. To nllow a rain to run wild, as It wore, with a bunch of owes without regard to or consideration for proper mating Is wrong and Is not conducive to tho raising of the stamliinl of our flocks. Where tbo rant Is allowed to run with tho flock during tho coupling season ho should be given a feed of grain daily. He should nlso be riddled on the breast and well bnck between the fore legs with a mixti'ro of oil nud lnmpblnck. Thla wlll show which ewes have beep served by blm. When served, tbeso should bo removed from the main flock and put in a lot or Held, and after tho course of two weeks nnother ram, riddled with a mixture of ochor and oil, should be put with tlii-m. Any -coming around" will then bo served and marked. Where the ram Is somewhat Inactive nud easily fatigued he should be "stood." Silas, For Brrea ana Lnmlia. Wo have never bad a silo. Having nl- wnys a great abundance of alfalfa or clover bay we have not needed it much, says Joseph E. Wing ln Brooder's O11- tette. let such shepherds ns II. H. Miller and H. P. Miller, both fninous lamb growers, use silos. U. I-. Miller declares good silage a groat aid ln keeping up the milk flow of the ewes. There Is no doubt that tbo ewe needs about the same ration as the dairy cow while she la suckling her lamb. 1 would suggest that tho sllngo be made so ns to be sweet, fearing that much acidity In It would harm the lambs through tbo milk. That means that the corn should get fairly mature before being put Into silo. Point, of n Good Stteep. Lots of bone, large, strong Joints and a flat rather than a round plpestcm leg nre tbe things to insist upon, buys Wool Markets and Sheep. The belly nnd back lino should both ho slrnlglit, the back broad and tho skin bright red, though dark and even lighted sklmicd ram. are sometimes very vigorous. This Is not the rule, however. Sheep Note.. Sheep are closo croppers nnd despise long grass. Regular feeding: makes even and well marbled mutton, flood sheep, good land and good roots usually go together. Keep tbe Iambi growing. They will tu'vor recover from a setback. . . ! ulsr feeding add steady growth 11.... < iiooti wool as woll as good lambs. 11" raily lambs ate to be made a s<iii.'.nli,r. the ewes must be bred In t;ood season. - ' , ,.-,.,,,,.. ,, ,, 'n making up a dairy ration one should consider tbo effect of the ration, first, upon the anlmul; second, upon tho product as to'quality; third, upon tbe product as to quantity; fourth, upon expenses, nnd fifth, upon the manure. The.effect of the ration upon the animal Is, In the opinion of H. Ilayward of the Pennsylvania experiment station, tho most important point to be considered, for no mutter how well a ration may bo balanced, according to nny of the standards, if It does not keep the system open and In a normal condition tbo animal caunot do normal work. As a careful feeder knows, condition Is Indicated by tbe sleekness of the coat, brightness of tbe eye and general cnrrlage and appearance of the nnimal. A ratiou may as well be com-' posed of cornstalks and corumcal It It falls to keep the animal's system ln a normal, natural condition. Winter Faedlna. The farmer who has a alio filled with good corn ensilage, a little mixed hay and some com In tbe crib can settle the winter feeding question easily and economically, since all he needs to supplement tbe farm products Is a nitrogenous concentrate, says a correspondent of National Stockman, Tbe feeder who has neither slluge nor roots wiU find it more difficult to decide ln regard to bla .winter feeding, for Instead of depending upon the laxative effect of ensilage to keep hia cattle tn good condition be wlll be obliged to use some commercial byproduct for thla purpose. Of these Unseed meal and bran have this effect upon cattle ln a pronounced manner. Although. both; theai feed! are nt the present'time very high, more or less of one or both of tbem must be fed, since It I. absolutely necessary If the best results are to be obtained to keep milking cows or feeding cattle in a good normal condition, Amonn, of Bar to Feed, Wbon buy er other roughage Is In good condition, no more should be placed before the cow than she will consume with a relish, says Hoards Dairyman. Thla rule should be enforced and followed withstrict precision, tbls season above all otben, Snltlnv th. Caw,. . Do not omit the dally allowance of salt to the cows, saya Hoard's Dairyman. Salt not only la an app.tlr.or, but It Is an aid to dlgcitlon and' eipeotally to dlgestlou of tho protein elements In feed, The old fnsl|lon of taking a measure of salt once or twice a week and scattering it ou thi grass, with tb. cows frantic to get at It, Is not the best way. to supply thli condiment. I About once ln three months on the average every agricultural paper in the land publishes an article cither as an editorial or from the pen of a correspondent upon the subject of tbe time to water hones, says a correspondent of National Stockman. The facta are no Ironclad rule can be laid down aa regards allowing a hone water. The best of all and one that will hit more cases than any other Is to allow tbe horse to drink .wbon be flnt wants to. I hold without fear ot contradiction that ho horse with a normal'stomach nnd good digestion was ever Injured In the least by allowing him all the pure water of moderate temperauro that hi wanted. It is those with abnormal stomachs or weak digestion that require can ih watering. People, h'B a rule, are far too cautious ln allowing horses to drink. When a horse Is dyspeptic, as a rule his atomach is fevered, and he will drink before eating. In tbat case certainly give him water. He needs it It he wlll drink after eating, by all means let him have it His Individual needs requin it or be would not take it If he wants It on the road ln the middle of the forenoon or afternoon, by all means give it to blm, but If aUowed to become extremely tblnty like a person your Judgment must dictate, Wben normnl, he won't drink more than be needs, bnt extreme thirst means on abnormal condition, and tt Is only when abnormal conditions exist that man', judgment should dictate. But man has no business trying to create an abnormal condition by laying his belief or whim Is tbat your horse shall drink before eating and not after, nnd wben the brute Is subjected to such a man's practice Ita digestion sooner or later becomes about ns much warped.as.the.owner's judg- Sent Common sense Is a pretty good ilng to use In such matters and Is worth. more by far than barrels of theoretical reasoning. A horse with a good digestion should be given water when be wants it, whether it be once or six times daily, before or after eating, When a bore, with a weak digestion Is to be cared for, bis needs must be studied and he be fed and watered accordingly. Treatment For Thrnah. Thrush ia a diseased condition of the tissues forming the cleft of the frog ef tbe hone's foot nnd is characterized by foul smelling, acrid discharge which maceratea tho horn and uuderruns th, sole In bad cases. The cause Is standing In damp and filth. Kemovo the cause; keep tbe bone 00 a perfeotly dry, clean floor; cleanse tbe space between the wings of the frog by means of a knife shaped stick, then pack dry calomel Into the cavity and press oakum In after It to retain It In place Itepeat thla treatment dally until well. AU loose and diseased horn ahould be removed with .harp knife befon dressing a. advised. In a paper read before the Kansas board of agriculture Mr. B. 0. Johnston â aid ot the Angora goat. The Angora grows to the same else aa a sheep, but does not mature so rapidly. A slx-montb-old lamb wlll weigh more than a kid of the aam. ago with equal care.. Therefore the goat la not ao good to raise tor the early market, but thla Is more than offset by tie fact that tt carries Its lamb or 10ft joint longer than a lamb doe. and Ita Ufe la so much longer than tbat of a sheep. It ia a prolific breeder and a productive shearer until twelve or fourteen yean old. It Uvea and thrives In any country where (beep live and prosper, no matter hew hot or cold. It readily adapts itself to the surrounding conditions, from the rich volley to rugged mountain wastes. All the shelter It neede In thli climate Ib an open shed, facing tbe .south, which It can go under to protect Itself from the cold ralna and snows. They feed and do well during the winter on corn fodder, straw and coarse hay, with a little grain during March and lint ot AprU to itnngthcn them for the kidding season of May. They require the same care and attention during the kidding season aa sheep during the lambing season.
