Such is the martian we; hear again and again through the press, at the Bar and in the Senate. It is the groundword of all the facts brought for- ward to prove that the nineteenth een~ tury is far before its predecessors in activity, industry and intelligence. The chronicles of the present age record many a marvel, first brought to light under its auspices, which has proved a benefit and blessing to mankind. Men have awakâ€" oned to the necessity of improving the talents committed to their keeping, and thus small hamlets, by the assistance of enterprise, owing its origin to gifted minds, have expanded into cities of wealth, intellect and power. The dis- coveries of science, when applied to the resources of the soil. drawing forth the buried wealth from its bosom, and again manufacturing those materials into the thousand shapes and forms which confer utility and eventually wealth upon the land which possesses- them, are within the reach of every com- munity under Britan’s protection, and this Dominion has probably more natural deposits of mineral wealth within its fold awaiting appliances of labor and skill, than any other of the dependencies of Great Britain. These appliances are all within the reach of the intelligent and enterprising, whose duty and pleasure it should be to aid in devel- oping 'the resources of the land of their birth or adeption.

Why is it with such vast mineral, agricultural and piscatorial wealth, only awaiting laborers to call them forth and disseminate their benefits throughout the Dominion, the inhabitants of‘ it leave her shores by thousands and seek in the neighboring Republic the employment they do not find here: True, it may be that one solitary branch of manufacture, or some few merchants or tradesmen, have succeeded in amassing considerable wealth in spite of the depressing influ- ences of having to contend against the fostered protection awarded to their own people by the American Government; but we cannot blindly close our eyes to the evil that hangs over us in permitting our land to be overrun with the produc- tions of other countries, through the suicidal policy of a Government' who profess to serve and do for a people over whom it rules. We should give encour- agement to our industrious mechanics; the members of our own household, prefer the articles of his handiwork to those imported from a foreign country, even though the first purchase be nom- inally a trifle higher than goods imported. Encourage manufactures; support those in operation and induce the establish- ment of others; , We should have indus- trial cstablishmcnts in every quarter of our land. Such increase would, in like manner, assist the efforts of our agricul- turists and merchants, and'_‘thus dispense general encouragement and benefit: With manufactures established and flourishing an increase of inhabitants and a general impetus to business and trade will follow. First, protect native industryâ€"secure your own wares from the encroachments of a foreign market, l and then let our men of wealth establish ; mannfactorles and encourage native trade. The necessity for action is evi- dent to all ; let not that necessity speak in vain. Look round at the blank and anxious faces of men of business and neglected tradesmen, these will tell you that the evil has sunk deeply, but it may be eradicated by dispensing with the present Stewards of the Household, and and giving unto others the duty that they have so sadly neglected to perform might. u THE HERALD," PUBLISHED E VER Y FRIDA Y, RICHMOND HILL, SEPT. 22, 1876.

The major part of the land is Free Grant, While the balance is sold at twenty cents per acre; and each adult, male or female, may obtain 160 acres of the Free Grant or 320 of the latter; and after the lapse of five years may apply for Crown Patent, which will be grant- ed if' the laws relating to said Free Grant Lands have been complied with, viz :â€"â€"-to have cleared and under cultiva- tion l5 acres, a house erected 16 x 20. Hay averages $20 per ton; oats 50 cents per bushel; corn $1.00; barley $1.00; peas $1.00; so that as the de- mand is always, and will be good, pros pects are bright for those who have a lot here.

And while the sportsman has the privilege of enjoyment, the invalid need not despair, as the scenery and climate are most inviting and pleasant ; the shores are usually lined with beauti- ful islands and enclose most beautiful and safe bays for boating, and fishing.

Pauwnting, Lake Superior, Sept, 6th, 1876. Stammering is one of the most pain- ful afliietions which can possibly be pos- sessed by man, but it is entirely the fault of the stammerer himself. Al- though so many theories have been ad- vanced as to the cause and so many cures tried, without remedy being effected it is the simplest thing in the world both in its production and its cure. Some imagine that it is caused by the tongue being two large for the mouth, some that it is caused by nervousness, and various other conjectures are made which are generally as false as ridiculous. The true cause, is merely, endeavoring to speak when there is no air in the lungs. The stammercr exhausts his breath and endeavors to speak ; forgetting that words are only air in different forms, producing articulate sounds, these sounds cannot exist therefore if there is no air, then what is the remedy ? It is now apparent to all I When you can- not pro’ceed you mus stop ; therefore do so, take a full breath and you can con- tinue with the same case that You had before the exhaustion. If this is 0911‘ tinually doneâ€"and it requires nothing,r but the exercise of memoryâ€"the lungs will learn their duty and act in consort with the mind and the remedy is effected. A trip to the North will amply repay any one who may come exther for plea- sure or profit. Talk about economy! In the short space of twenty months the Mackenzie Government increased the pension list by $18,148 per annumn. When the late Government went out, the annual expen diture under the head of pensions was $22,891. To-day it is $41,039, and increasing every week. Scores of the , Tory ofiice-holders are shoved out of the lcivil service oflices every month to make room for clamouring Grits. They feel that their time to grab everything is growing very short. And this is an economical Government! Economical fiddlesticks lâ€"s- West Durham New. @nmmmmimtfimm Yours, STAMMERING. ALGOMA. PUK WUDJIES, Science declares that in order to fix. most being made of manure it should be housed, and saturated abundantly with plaster or some other substance that will absorb or fix the ammonia. 'The man jprity of farmers in this country pay no attention whatever to the care or repu- ntion of their manure, heaps. In ritsin it is one important branch of high farm- ing to economise the manure, and apply it in the best possible condition. Lord Kinnaird, at a. F armer’s Club Meethg recently, gave his practioa and experiencg as follows :â€"~ Four acres of good soil were measuiqd, and two’ of them were manured with or- dinary barnyard manure, and two with an equal quantity of manure from the covered shed. The whole was planted with potatoes. The products of each acre was as follows :â€" ms One acre produced 442 bushels. One acre produced 471 bushels. ‘The next year the land was sown With wheat, when the crop was as fol- lows : Wheat on land treated with barnyard manure. One acre produced 48 bushels, 18 pounds (of 61 pounds per bushel.) Ono acre produced 42 bushels, 38 Pbtatoes treated with barnyard. ma.- nure: “$53.. , pounldg. V (of 61 pounds to the bushel.) Wheat on land manured from covered sheds. ’ 7 One acre produced 55 bushels. 5 pounds (of 61‘fpounds to the bushel.) One acre produced 55 bushels, 1.7 pounds ..,.. u.” 1 11 (of 61 pounds to the bushel.) The straw also yielded one-third more upon the land fertilized with the manure from the covered sheds, than upon that to which the ordinary manure was ap- plied. There is no other treatment claimed in these experiments than that of simply keeping the manure under cover, and our readers will agree with us that the gain is remarkable. Had Lord Kinnaird saturated his covered heaps plentifully with plaster or some other such substance to seize upon and fix the escaping am- monia, he would have found the differ- ence in results still greater. ,- One acre produced 272 bushels. One acre produced 292 bushels. Potatoes manuer from the covered sheds. » For the sake of your children have plenty of flowers around your homes. Plant enough so that it may be no sin for the little ones to gather large handfuls and make playfellows of them. When I was a little girl, it was not generally understood that gathering a. part of the flowers caused the plant to continue its blooming longer, and to produce finer flowers than if all its blossoms were al- lowed to remain on the parent stem and ripen seed. It was then a “naughty” deed for children to pluck any but the most common flowers. Little ones can- not always be trusted to help them- selves from the flower beds as they may choose, but there should be beds of bright flowers where there will always be some to spare for the children. One little girl, not four years old then, used to ask me for pansies before she was dressed in the morning, every day for weeks, last summer. She could hardly count the fingers on her hand, but I used to let her run out before breakfast and gather three or four pansies. Several times again through the day, she could. have as many more, and they all per- sonated characters to her imagination. They were sometimes her children, some- times her pupils, sometimes the congre- gation to whom J ack-inâ€"the-pulpit reached. Other flowers figured also in hese plays, but I do not wonder at the smiling pansyâ€"faces were most attractive. Children should have their own flower beds as early as possible, but a great many waste places around the door-yard and back windows and out-buildings might be made to blossom like the road for their sakes, with but little labor. A full drink of water, immediater cf- ter being fed, should never be allowed to horses. When water is drank by them the bulk of it goes directly to the large intestines, and little of it is retained in the stomach. In passing through the stomach, however, the water carries con- siderable quantities of the contents to where it lodges in the intestines. If, then, the food of the stomach is washed out be~ fore it is digested, no nourishment is do~ rived from the food. A small quantity of fluid "allowed along with, or immediately ofter, dry food, beneficially softens it, And milk in its division and digestion. An inor- dinate supply of water, or of watery fluid, on the other hand, proves injurious. It dilutes unduly the digestive secretions ; it mechanically carries onward the im- perfectly digested food, and thus inbor- feres with the proper function: of the canal, and excite digestion and diar- rhoea. These untoward effects are expe- cially apt to occur where horses freely fed and too liberally watered are shortly put to tolerably quick Lworlr. There is no more infallible method of producing colic, diarrhoea, and inflammation of the bowels. The horse is not peculiar in thin affect; dogs, and even. their muten Iimilarly suffer from copious droughts of water immediately after‘ eating much solid Good. Pictures may be transferred to painted surfaces in the following manner : Cov- er the ground with an even coat of light colored carriage varnish, which should be allowed to set (nearly as dry as if for gilding). If the print to be transferred be colored, soak it in salt and water ; if not colored, use water alone. Remove superfluous water by pressing between blotting pads, and then place the pic- ture face down upon the varnish, press- ing it smooth. \Vhen the varnish is dry, dampen the paper and rub it off with the finger. The picture will be found upon the varnish, and another coat of the latter should be added to bring out the effect. This process answers equally well for glass or metal surfaces. .912 1am Bxpuiments 1n the use of Mum. How to Transfer,I’lctures-~ ggximulimmfl. Watering Horses.
