Re Insurance

'At ull the masses in St. Fiunan’.s Cathedral on Sunday, it Was an- nounced that His Lordship, Bishop Macdoncll, recognizing that the pre- sent insurance of some $30,000 on Cathedral—a building costing up- wards of $00,000—was in.su£ficicul and entailed too great a risk on the parish, was desirous of increasing the same. To meet the increased pre- mium, a si^cial collection will be taken up at all the masses on Sun- day, 19th, when male adults are ex- pected to contribute 25 cents ^nd ladies 15 cents each.

:By this means, it is expected the necessary amount will be received.

Mr. Louis Kemp Appointed Chief—New Appliances and Regulations.

On Friday evening, 'in the Town Hall, a meeting for the reorganiza- tion of the Fire Brigade, was Iteld. Councillors Simpson, Tarleton and Cardinal were in attendance for the purpose of consulting ^1111 mem' bars of the brigade with a view of putting this most necessary organi zation upon a satisfactory footing to all immediately interested. All present were given a free hand in the discussion tliat ensued with the result that a thorough understand ing w'as arrived at.

The outcome of the meeting, in a few words, was that Mr. Louis Kemp was appointed Chief at a salary of $25. That .some Rve or six of the old members expressed their willingness to remain on the force ; that care will bo taken in the selection of the men necessary to oeimplete the complement ; that cacli man will receive as an indem nity, the sum of fifteen dollars for attending ten practices to be held during Ihe coming summer ; that the Chief will be lield strictly re- sponsible for all fire appliances, which in every case will be strict- ly under his immediate supervision and that the members of tne brh gade will be paid by the municipal ity for attending fires at the rate of a dollar an hour. A salvage wag gon is to be constructed in the near future, which should prove of great convenience.

In future the town j,>olice will be oxiiected to confine their atten- tion to keeping the crowd, which at all times congregate at a fire, m check, that the Chief’s guidance may not be interfered with.

Taken al' in all, the meeting was a good one, and our citizens jgaay be congratulated upon securing such good men to act in what may rightly be termed a trying and imitortant (position. /

Seven thouji’and peoi>le wcd.ged in- to every available bit of seat or standing room space saw ‘C-Uawa successfully defend, the Stanley cup and practically carry off the cnam- pionship of the Federal Hockey lea- gue in the Montreal Arena on urday night. The match was by long odds the most sensational exhibition of the year, and although the ciiam pions finttlly doulilcd the score on the pets of the Montreal hockey- going public—the match was won by 4 goals to 2—for 59 minutes of the playing .time the ultimate result Avas a matter of the gravest doubt for the followers of the resiiective sides. Ottawa’s majority of goals coining in the final minute of the time.

High School--J. J. Irvine, A. Mar tin, Clifford McEAven, Findlay Mc- Lennan, ii. A. Gauthier, Geo. Hilts, Dan McMillan.

The above were the teams that, tried conclusions on Alexander Kink on Saturday cA^ening.

'Both sevens include .some first- class material, and as the score shoAVs, both were evenly matched, the score standing, 1-0 in favor 0/ the Emmets.

Refcree—D. Patterson. One thing demonstrated by the

game Avas that iU^x^-udria 'has a splendid crop of hockeyists, just budd.ing.

Our hockey team Avas certainly up against it on Saturday. .First, the elements conspired against them, and in the second act, the AVilliamstoAvn septette handed tliem out defeat to the tune of—Avell our boys say 5-1, but AVilliamstoAvn claimed eight straights. AVhichever it AA'as Williams toAA'n had by long odds the most to their credit.

The Aveather Avas liiting cold Avhen our boys set dbout T o’clock, and roads were in such a state that they did not arrive at Williams- toAvn until 5 o’clock. They had to get out on the ice Immediately, so Consequently had no Time to lim- ber up. Considering ttiose disadvan- tages, the boys played wTlI and are not ■squealing. They say That they were beaten a;id tha.t’s all ;jjjout it. They have no aiKjiogies to offer but assert that under more favorable ciixiumstances they cun give a bet- ter account of Ihemselves.

To say the least, the .score, 5-1 ill favor of the Alexandria team, Ava-s rnost popular and the team Avere heartily congratulated oh their victory. 1

The game was undoubtedly the SAviftest ever seen here, and the score was no criterion of the play although our boys deserved to Avin. A pleasing feature of the game AVas, that not a man was ruled off and outside of the usual quota of bruises and sore fingers attendant upon heavy body ciiecking, no se- rious injuries were sustained. The Maxvilie boys ai‘e a gamey croAvd, and never said “quit”’ until the call of time. They skate well, but ap— Ijeared to be ufftible to locate the nets, Avhile the Alexandria Ixiys, Avun out exception played a fast, uggres- siA'c game.

I How Glengarry lAimbermen

made a Circus Leave Corn- wall.

In the ’‘Memoirs of a Great De- tective,” by ,fohn Wilson Murray 'Ciiief of the Ontario Detective force Ig an interesting talc of the experiences of a circus crow which landed in Cornwall in the summer of 1877.

Tile men from 'Glengarry met Murray for the first time in tiio summer of 1877, and Ihc acquaiiu- ance formed then rii>oned into fri- cndsliip, and has strengthened throughout the ycarus. Tlic Glen- garry lads wore famous fightcr.s in the bygone days, and it was through a fight, that lives to this day in the history of the county, that Murray went among them. There arc firesides in Glengarry where old men sit in the winter evcning.s and spin, among 'îheir tales of prowess, the yarn of tlic great battle of 1877, when the men of Glengarry fought the travelling cir- cus, and drove it, beasts and all, out of Cornwall. Many a scar is cherished as a souvenir of that fray. A thous.ind times beyond count have the cliildren heard how Danny Mc- Leod, seized the lion by the tail and twisted it until the big beast roared.

John O'Brien, of I’hiladclphia, was the ow'ncr of the circus. It was tr.rvelUng through Canada. and pitched its tents in Cornwall, the county seat of three counties—Glen- garry, Stormont and Dundas, fifty miles west of Montreal. The lum- ormen and shantymen had com<‘ out of the, woods with their winter’s sv,,sgc in their pockets. ’rhey were stalwart lusty fellows, and they ga- thered from far and near to see the circus in Cornwall. Tliey strode the streets in gorgeous red or rainbow shirts. They saw the grand parade in tlie morning, and joked about the freak features that caught their eye. There was no "talk of trouble, no premonition of a row. The men of the woods were out for a jolly day, expecting to bother nobody, and cxijccting nobody to bother them. They formed in, a long line by the ticket waggon to buy the red pasteboards for admis- sion to the tent. Some fell out of line to wrtestlc or snar good-na- turedly. but all were waiting their turn.

A Shout at the otl'cr side of the big tent steadied the line. It was the cry' of a Glengarry man. Fol- lowing it came the crack, crack, crack of heavy blows, and around the side of the font appeared one of their men backing away, ancll whirling a long tent stake, as ho cama. Pursuing him were three cir- cus man, cach_ with a club. Blood gushed from à big slash across the Glengarrian’s face. He was shaking it off as he swung the heavy .stake, lie dared not turn 'his head to look for help, but with his eyes .set and arms waving ho whirled his weajion so that three circus men were held at bay. A flap in the big tent was raised as he passed; a fourth circus !man crept' out behind the Glen— garrian, as the stake .swung around the new-comer dealt him a heavy blow with a club, and he went down like a log.

lA roar burst from tlie lino of lumlxîrmen, a roar like that of the

: entire circus mcn.igerie it the Ixia.sts had liowlcd in unison. The line qui- vered, swayed, and broke. In a wild rush the lumlicrmen sprang forward (Spizing clubs, tearrng up tent stakes, jerking out poles and pins and stanchions. The four circus men yelled tor help, and out of J;he big tent swarmed canvas-men, helpers acrobats in tights, gymna.sts in tinr sol, clowns in paint and powder— every man the show could muster.,• They were needed, too. The lumber men had formed in Igng open lines like firc-fighters, and thc^ moved into the thick of fhe tangle of men and ropes and Canvas, beating right and left with their long clubs The weapons ro.se and fell, whack, whack, whack, falling with terrific torcc, smiting whatever was within reach. When a man in the line fell another stepped forward into his place.

“Herd them! Herd them!” was the cry.

The lumtjermen were striving Cot surround the circus men and drivei them into a huddled mas.s, and then —woe betide them ! Tlie force of the onslaught, the impact of the furious assault, drove the circus men back to the side of the big tent, so that wlien the lumbermen beat them in on three sides they liad i.he tent behind, them. There were miglity deeds of daring done that day. Shanty Donald, it is told, took five cracks on the skull and laid three circus men out in a struggle where they had him three to one. Big McGregor seized an aco- bat by the neck, and flung him sky ward, and when he aliglitcd he wild ly begged for _mcrcy. The strong man in the side show seized little Joe Sumac, and when they fell apart, the strong man’s left arm limp and useless, snapped below the el- lx)w. One revolver flashed, and be- fore it banged again, the circus man who had held it lay senscle.ss, with his face tramidcd like a clca- vered beefsteak.

The circus men retreated under the flaps of the tent as the lum- iKirmen crowded them. Knotty O’- Brien, of Glciiigarry, one of the foremost in the lumbermen’s line. Jived under head first. His feet sud dcnly flew up, his limbs jerked, and he l.ry still. The lumbermen fought up to wlierc he lay, and they smote, tlie canvu.s side of the tent with mighty blows, ripping it to shied.s, and as it tore away they saw little O’Brien gasp, half rise, choke and fall back dead. None spoke, none shouted as they beat before them. It was like ai battle of mutes, blowly they fought ' their way into the tent, when from the menagerie came the keepers with the elephants and rushed the great beasts to the front, and ran them to and fro.

■”Tis like smiting a mountain !” quotli Big McGregor, iis he drove his stake against tlic towering hulk. Tlic next instant Big McGregor was flying skyward higher than "he had tossed the tinselled acrobat. He came down with a thud, and plunged in again.

“'rhe lions! the lions!” .shouted the circus men, and it is related that sure enough, a big beast came tilouching forivard with a keeper at bis side.

In the tale as it is told, for- ward sprang Danny McLeod and Ix'.cod the king of beasts. Even the men of Glengarry paused. The lion shook- ills massive head and tawny mar.c. Danny suddenly struck the keeiier full in the pit of the sto- mach with his boot, and seized the lion by the tail and twisted it' tiround and around. With a rear of rage and pain the king of beasts wheeled and fled, galloping pell-mel back to. the cage, and clambering, into it. But the elephants won the day. 'Both sides drew off and the the circus left Cornwall. Little O’- Brien was buried, and the lumber men sat them down to nurse their wounds and heal their scar.s.

Painters go Down Before a yuperior Combination

Lu how the mighty jiave fallen ! 'The best laid plans of hockeyists

•Be not mislead, however, and im- agine that -the Woodworkers play- ed five times as fast hockey as the L’aintcrs. They did not, and the Bainters, true to their profession, gave their omioncnts several brushes that looked as if they were guar-’ anteed to whitewash, kalsomine or varnish, but General Gilbert’s Husi sars appeared to anticipate every flank movement and laid mines whicli almost invariably sent, the besiegers heavenward or earthward.

Mr. D. D. McCallum maniimlatcd the wliistle with a dexterity that proved him eligible for membership In the society of Amajgamatcd Hockey Czara. His rulings «"ere as inexorable as the mandates of the Sultan and when he banished Gen orals Tarleton and Gilbert to the Wilds of Michaudville for seven- minutes and forbade them to play hiocke}' until tlie 'first of July, every one held his breath and said “amen.”

Messrs. Paul Ihiprato and Eoy Me Donald who stood behind the nets were duly sworu l^forc Justice Lauzon to give a strictly impartial verdict n^thout fear of a,ssassination favor of emolument or affection for grippe. This they did.

The teams were— .Woodworkers—P. Lauzon, B. Kerr,

A. .Seguin, L. Samson, N. .Gilbert,-A. Grant, Dan M!cMillan.

Painters—[B;. Tailfcr, L. Kemp, B. O’iConnor, D. Kerr, X. Malette, E. If. Tarleton, P., IAUZOU. '

The play tiu’ougliout was charac- terized by humorous as well as skil- ful efforts and the several players bore their defeat or victory with all due dignity. The Painters ccr-. tainly had the odds against them . but were game until time was call- ed.

STILL ANOTHER CASE THE NEW SYSTEM TKEATMENT, ANTI- PILL, CONTINUES TO WOBK WONDER-

FUL CUBES.

When Dr. Leonhardt, of Lincon, Neb., gave Anti-Pill to the world he had unbounded faith in the treatment, but ho did not foresee the world-wide and wonderful results it is now achiev- ing in the cure of disease.

Here is the story of another Anti- Pill victory.

“For many months I have been troubled with dyspepsia, dizziness in my head, cold chills, and suffered most of the time from constipation and was unable to do my housework. I tried every kind of pill and medicine that either the doctors or myself could think of, and finally tried Anti-Pill. This treatment has practically made a new woman of me. I am able to do all my own work. The dizziness has all gone, my stomach feels much bet- ter, and I am no longer troubled with constipation. I cannot praise Anti- Pill too highly.”—Mrs. Thos. Tabb, 287 Emerald Street North, Hamilton, Ont.

Mrs. Tabb’s letter is only one of the many.

Three Results of Women^s Neglect

The Sick Bed Neglect is the greatest cause of

the suffering of women. Nine out of ten of all suffering

women to-day could be cured. In nine case^ out of ten tlieir suf- fering could have been prevent- ed.

A woman, through worry, overwork or over indulgence, gets tired and run down. One box of Dr. Hugo’s Health Tablets for Women would make her feel like herself again.

But for some reason or other she neglects taking it and does nothing. Possibly she buys some cure-all advertised for men and women alike, and not con- taining the special ingredients needed by women, and gets no benefit.

Perhaps she takes some liquid preparation .containing alcohol, opium and oOcaine, and stimulat- ed by these keeps going a little longer, but in the end is com- pelled to give up and take her bed—a victim of neglect.

The Operating Table. Another woman has some uter-

ine disorder, probably some men- struation difficulty. Because the symptoms are common she con- siders it unimportant and does nothing. But the trouble is all the time increasing through neg- lect.

At last she realizes the danger. She knows that unless a spe-

cialist in woman’s diseases, a doc- tor’s medicine will do her, little good.

She knows that the liquid prep- arations advertised for women contain alcohol, opium and co- caine, which, while stimulating for the time, injure in the end, so she doesn’t dare take them. She neglects taking Dr. Hugo’s Health Tablets for Women, a single box of which would have made her regular and prevented uterine disorder.

Some grievous chronic uterine disorder is the result, and in the end, after much suffering wholly unnecessary, she goes to the operating table—a victim of neg- lect.

The Grave. Another .woman has been so

often deceived by the cure-alls advertised for men and women alike that she refuses to try a genuine remedy like Dr. Hugo’s Health Tablets compounded for Women alone and by a specialist.

In the end no remedy can cure her and she goes to the grave—a- victim of neglect.

If such women would believe the truth about Dr. Hugo’s rem- edy, that it is an honest medicine containing no alcohol or opium to simply stimulate, but every known ingredient to cure the ills of women, including some re- cently discovered, which no other remedy contains, they would not hesitate to try it.

These tablets are not like the commonplace remedies. They go to the root of the trouble and start women immediately on the road to health who are really on the road to the grave.

EDITORIAL NOTES:

WHA.T DO YOU THINK OF THIS?

Mr. Whitney’s Minister of Agricul- ture, says the Montreal Star, will find it hard to better the record of Hon. Mr. Dryden. In many respects, Mr. Dryden has been an ideal leader of the agricultural development of a province which is, after all, largely agricultural. His policy at Guelph Agricultural College has always been progressive; and hi.s experiments and enquiries into matters of interest to the farming community have been constant and valuable. It is a pity that the services of such a man cannot be retained for the people In some way. i

EFFF^CT OF SUCCESS

Some wise person has said that victory is harder to bear than de-; feat and there is much of truth in the statement. We all know men who when their ships go down at sea, smile on in the hope of future caigocs; and when their ships come in they lose their heads in the appaling disaster of success. How a man wears his success is a good measure of his quality, and by that gatigc the recent utter- ances of the Hon. J. 1’. Whitney must have awakened an additional appreciation in the minds of his supporters throughout the Province and respect from Lilicrals general- ly. Mr. Whitney is humble in his new honors. He souuijs no boast and contents himself with the simiHc de- claration that however he may err in the functions ol his office, he will always do what his conscience tolls him is right.

Sucopss, however, docs not seem to have any effect on the editorial tone of many Conservative news papers. Surely,, with the elections over, they would lose nothing by calling in the misrepresentations which have been doing duty for months back. Tihe Glcngarrian con- tinues to talk about the “Liberal machine,” which it claimis “the elec- tors smashed beyond repair on Jan. 25.” We rvere not aware that there was anything that could be properly described by the term “machine” in service on that occasion to be slnashed. The Liberal cmapaign • in each constituency was conducted by local workers. The party went down to defeat, but not to disgrace. One would think now that the Conservative party has attained power ite press would be dispo.scd to be a little fairer and more ge- nerous to its opponents.

THE PBlOTEiST. j

From the last issue of our con- temporary, The Glcngarrian, we learn that in all probability the election of Mr. John A. McMillan, M'jP.jP., will be protested, on the grounds, as alleged, of corrupt prac- tise on the part of Liberals.

Such a step, we do not of course approve of, as we thoroughly be- lieve that the election held on the 25th January was fought and won on the merits of {he questions at issue,, and that Mr. McMillan’s sue cess was due to personal popularity, coupled with the unswerving loyalty tf Liberals to the principles of

ibcrallsia, rather than to the. soemtimes effective, influence of cash. This may seem as poor poli- tics, to our Conservative friends who have evidently learned to consider poIH^cal success and the liberal dis- tribution of cash, as inseparable, but Still, it appears that the wor- ries and loss of time attendant up- on a protest trial lare too great a price to be paid for the mollifying of a crop of blighted political as- pirations.

However, if a protest is entered, let it be fought to a finish, and Conservatives will find that the Lib- erals are just as anxious tor the exposing of any wrong-doing as they are. Let there be no saw-off, as that should be a thing of the past. I

A crime committed against an in- dividual or an injustice done him may be excused if he gives his con sent. A crime committed against an electorate is a different matter and the withdrawal of an investiga tion should not be in the hands of a few manipulators in Toronto or Ottawa. A protest should not be fyled unless they are valid grounds for its support, and once it is fyled it is the people’s right to know the whole truth. The saw-off is a means that tends to retard our ap- proach to the ideal of electoral purity .

If the Conservatives in Glengarry can prove their alkgalioiis lhe courts arc oiien to them, and tjjo ma- chinery of the law is ar. their dis liosal but one ihing they ,niy rest assured of and that is that Liberals will not be the only ones who will be called upon to render an ac- count bf their actions during the recent campaign.

SALARIES OF ONTARIO MINISTERS.

An agitatiop ia being conducted m some quarters for the increase of the salaries of Ontario Cabinet Ministers. _This is a subject _ which will bear investigation. The matter turns upon the fact of tne present

salaries being ins.ufficient to enable (Cabinet Ministers to efficiently maintain the dignity of the position. The salary of the Premier of On- tario is now 97,boo. Add to tliat the se.ssional indemnity of 81,0000, and we have a practical salary of 88.000. The salary of the other Cabinet Ministers is 81.000, and the sessional indemnity added makes it 85.000. This is, perhaps, as much, and more, than the Minislcr.s would acquire in their private capacities ft Is often urged that the dem.and.s upon Ministers, by reason of their 'positions, is a great drain upon their income.s. This is much over- rated. The Examiner should know; and is in a position to state, that the combined outlay represented by visits of ladies with subscription lists and other .schemes demanding recognition, would not amount to over '8200 per year. It does not seem’that a large Increase of Min- isters’ .salaries, like that proposed, is called for. If the increase is made upon the groundis suggested —the incre.isod cost of living— a similar all-round increase in llie salaries of civil servants could not Ix! gracefully denied.

The finanncidl resources of the province are not unlimited, and there is urgent need of every ccni of available revenue to meet their increasing requirements of educa- tion ,agriculture, etc., not to siicak of development operations, including colonization roads, which in view of the rapid increase of settlement will create large demands upon provin- cial funds. The Examiner does not object to increassed provincial ex- penditure — without such increase there w'ould be no progress—but the mcreaise must be for productive pur- poses and demanded by circumstances not 'as a matter oî sentiment or os- tentation. Cabinet Ministers should have adequate salaries, but no more than sufficient to permit them to maintain their positions with dignity and sufficient to place them above anxiety on the score of income, so that they can be left free to de- vote their undivided attention to their official duties. It seems that an official income of 88,000 for the Premier of the Province, and 85,- 000 for the members of the Cabinet is ample to cover ^ese require- ments.—Peterboro Examiner.

THE CANADIAN AVEST.

With the phenomenal growth of our western heritage problems are arising which call for real state.s- manship and the session now on will prove one of the most momcn tous in the history of Canada.

Fortunately for the welfare 61 our young and vigorous country in dir Wilfrid Ixiurier we have a statesman at the helm fit in every way to steer the ship of state through the devious channels of our rapid national pi'ogi'css. If our readers will watch closely the event.i which follow each other so rapidly these days, it will afford them in- terest and pleasure.

In the Province of British Colum- oia and in the Northwest I’erritonea events arc certainly ripe enough to cause our G-overnment.^grave thought and action. In the province of the Pacific the lumberman is girding up his loins to attack the ijeace of mind of the farmer of the North West prairies. With a celerity which breathes the freedom of the bound less plains, tho pioneer of our glo- rious wheat fields arc taking up the cudgels for a vigorous defence and the reason for this trouble lies in the difficulty, which may be thus explained—iBritish Columbia has tim Ix)r resources of incalculable .value and of almost limitless extent, and lumbering is one of its pao-st im- portant industries. Cut off from the mai>kpts of the States by a hos- tile tariff on one side, with the Pacific ocean on the west side and no market to the north, they are compelled to seek a market in our own Northwest Territories. Here they arc confronted with the United States lumber which is shipped in to the territories and their market monopolised. .

Now along comes the British Co- lumbian lumberman and wants the Dominion Government to ' tax the lumber coming into the Northwest from the 'United States. The set- tler realizing that if a tax is put on, it means dearer lumber to him, at once resents this proposed tax and this is the interesting state of affairs at this stage of the session. Delegates are in Ottawa represent ing both sides and as we said be- fore, it will require careful hand- ling on the part of '^r , Govern- ment!.

The United States have a prohi- bitory duty agalnsU Canadian lum- ber, and if we allow our natural instinct lo find vent we should all shout retaliate, for wc Iiave not reached the happy stage where we can receive a deliberate injury with out a protest. The question is can we retaliate wUliout injuring oui other brother interested—namely the farmer. In answer to this question the lumberman from British Colum bia answers deliberately, “The Man itoba. and Northwest farmer has reached that stage of prosperity which would permit of their pay- ing for this duty.”

This seems a ixwr argument to bolster up their side of the case and naturally the farmer fceci>s on vigorously kicking. The matter will not IKS settled until the return of the Finance Minister from England in a week or so. ,

THE PAS- SING HOUR

it the efforts of certain parties are successful, the farmers of Can- ada will have lo face a very unjust and burdensome tax. A movement is on foot to have fence wire, which has for a number of years been ad- mitted into the country duty free, put on the dutiable list. The grades sought to be affected arc galvaniz cd iron or steel wire No. 9, 12 and 13. Practically none of these arc made in Canadla, and since enor- mous quantities are used each year in replacing the primitive rail struc turcs, and enclosing prairie farms, the injury that a duty would imr pose upon • the rural community could not bo readily estimatedT

• • • The religious complexion of the

Ontario Cabinet—four portfolios to Anglicans, two to Catholics, and one to a Methodist—is explained by The News.. “The reason is that the strength of the Conservative party lies very largely among Anglicans, and the strength of the Liberal party very largely among Presby- terians and Baptists.” That is ra- ther hard on a very large number of Presbyterians, many of them of yaod establiS|lied Clmi'ch lineage, who have been perhaps not the most clamorous, but certainly not the least reliable and effective, mem Oers and workers in the Conserva live party.

* • «

For the seven montlis ending January 31st, the aevenue of Can- ada on corjsolidated fund account amounted to 810.822,859 or 810,896,- 470 in excess of the expenditure. This is not a true indication of the finances of Canada, however, be cause the expenditure on JJie Inter- colonial Railway since October and possibly other amounts also have been held up in the audit office and have not been certified to. These sums do not appear ih the present financial statement, and hence the total disbursements for tlio seven months is made to appear smaller than was actually the case. The revenue shows an increase of morcv than 8600,000, com pared with the same* period of the previous fiscal year.

• • •

Canadians are pleased, to note that the famous milling firms of Minnesota have )^cn obliged to come across the line for wheat which will make the best flour ; but it would jplease the people of the Dominion better to sec the Ame- ricans cross the border and erect mills in Canada, just as. in recent years they have been moving over and putting up sawmills m On- tario. If Manitoba No. 1 hard is so superior to all other grades, if from it alone can be evolved flour of the highest quality, the manufactur- ing ought to 1» done in Canada and this country thereby reap the full rewards for the excellence and the plentitudo of the cereal hero produced. “Canada for the Cana- dians,” should be the watchword -iver.

• • •

Special customs officeÿ.s have at last got truce of the long-suspe.ctcd illegal export of game from Que- bec Province to tho United States. They have found that within three months over a thousand deer have ocen sent out from one point cut ^ip, b4,rel!lcd and( l]at{3led “Hfamsl.” The shipment as soon ÿs they cross- ed the boundary were changed to venison, and the whole lot were va- lued at about twenty-seven thousand dollars, and duty of about twenty- five hundred paid. Vast quantities of partridge were also exported as “Land Fowl,” but these cannot be traced. AH shipments were made un- der false names, both of sendsrai and consignees, but the officers are hot on their trail, headed by chief inspector F. L. Jones, who is well known in Ontario as an old .mem- ber of the Ottawa press gallary.

Bishop Ellison Capers qf South Carolina, addressing a recent Either .ng of Confederate veterans, spoke of the excuses husbands give for not getting home to dinner, pretending to be detained at their offices by business, when really spending the evening at .the club. “These men,” he said, “are fewer than the comic writers of the press w-ould have to iielieve, but, nevertheless, here and there they do exist. I Ji-ish they could all be caught as nicely as one of them, a resident of Colum- oia, 'was caught the other day. He -aid to his wife, as he was leaving acme in the morning, “Oh. lay tiie way, my dear, if I find 1 cannot get away from the works In time tor dinner to-night. I’ll send you a note by a messenger.” The wife, in a tart tone, j-eplied, “You needn’t bother, f liave already found the note in your coat pocket.’'

A side light ivas thrown on life in modern Alaska, by a single incir dent tliat hapjpened recently In Se- attle. Seven thousand five hundred cases of canned cream, fifteen freight car loads, was ordered by one Seattle firm for shipment to Alaska from a single cannery in Kent, a town in AA^hite River Val ley, lying just south of Seattle. The entire order went north on the first departing steamer. This, then, is the great difference between Alaska and any former gold camps in America; 'the people Who are de- veloping the country live well. In farthest Nome tliere is a newspaper whose type is set by a linotype ma- chine. There, too, the shut-in months ■ are enlivened with dances at which the men arc required tojrÿi’ear full- dress. There are carpê® on Ihe floors of log huts; there arc pianos in the quickly built clubs; Associat- ed Press ncw.s is printed, and Ihero IS cream on Alaskan tables.

EPOERTON’S WILL.

“You are brutally frank, Heriot.” “Well, my dear Fred, what is the

gcoA. of mincinB matters? Y'ou are a.^ilutely a j>liysical wreck. You haVd just Tieen examined by one of the best dootor.s in I.ivcrpool, and he declaixss that you have not got four weeks to live.”

“Well, you needn't rub it in., When I met you four years ago 1 wauS a silly fool wilh ,a fortune. 1 am still the. s'lly tool, but yOu Jiave got my money. A delightful sponge you have tx!en, and sucked uj> the lot. However, ift I am going tp peg out, it doesn’t matter much ; but I can’t help thinking of my sister- dear little Mary ; I wonder what w'ill Income of her ?”

“To re'vert to our discussion, bay dear l>enman, you have not "yet given an answer to my proposition.”

“Have I not ? W'cll, here it is in a nutshell. I have been your play- thing and du[)e for four years. I have lived like a w’eak-willed iuna tic, but I am going to die a clean death.” • ; i

“Then you refuse?” “Y'our perspicacity is amazing.” “Then I’m off fo îmndon to-

night, and you can die when ^ou like, bow you like, and where you like."

“Y'ou will desert me f” “I have stuck to you for the last

two years—w'hen you have Iwen prao tioajly a pauper. You have lived on my charity—even your sister.”

“Ah, you will let .^me have that £25 to send to her to-night, Heriot; you won’t refuse me that ?”

“Not a farthing ; 1 have done with you.”

“Look here, llogcr, I—I—wxill. you know all my circumstances; you will let me have that £25 for Mary. She ha.s nolK)dy but me, and she .still thinks that 1 am rich, I haven’t seen her for four years, but I have always managed to send her money. You will do it, old chap?”

“Listen to me, Fred, and don’t be a fool. Your feter , I understand, looks upon you as a noble brother. What is she going to do when you are dead?” ‘ '

“Heaven knows.” “Would it not be better to keep

her in ignorance of the fact that her brother lived the dife of a gambler and died a pauper ? Now, look here; agree to my proposition, and I will allow her £200 a year while you are alive nnd, if you carry things through properly, £500 a year when you are dead.”

Fred Henman was silent for a few I seconds, and then a fit of congh- [ ing seized him that completely ex- r bausted him.

“That is pretty bad,” remarked Heriot ; “you had Ijettcr -'make up your mind before it is too late What it is to be ?”

,”What are the details?” .“Simply that you change your

j-irnc to Fhilip ISgerton, arid be- die you send for a lawyer,

make a wiln and have everything you possess to me.”

“And Fhilip Jigerton ?” “Is dead. You rememl>er the row

in Eatferty’s saloon ?” “When the lights were put out

and a stranger was shot ?” “That stranjger was Philip Eger

' ton.” ' “And you killed him?”

“An accident, my dear 'Fred. He had quari-elled with his father fn London, and w'as living in Australia under an assumed name. No one knew w'ho he really was, so you see everything is quite safe. Jlis father died twelve months Ago, an'd there

I you are.” “And what am I, as Fhilip Egcr-

ton, supposed to be worth ?” “Hard to say. Fcrliaps £1,000 a

year.” ~ , “All right, Fll do it. But what

aljoul my dear wife, Sophie?” ' “She must know nothing about

it. It is two years since w'e set eyes on her.”

“Exactly ; but you know my dear Sophie. She smells money as a vul- ture smells blood, and I wouldn’t mind wagering that she’ll be knock ing at the door before the breath IS out of my body.” ,

“All right, let her knock. Now here arc the details. An old cer- tificate of the birth of Fhilip Eger ton, a photograph of his mother, a gold vva-tch with his name on, the Bible his mother gave him, a few books, and several siiecimens of lii.s liand-writing.”

“You have got things fix^d up.” “Now' you W'ill remove to otli^r

lodgings, practise the signature of Fliilipi Egerton, and rchearoe your last earthy tragedy. Scatter these things about your room to establish your identity, and w'hen you have made the' will everything will be plain sailing.”

Twenty.-four .'hours later Captain Roger Heriot had arranged every- thing to his satisfaction and took train to 'fxmdon, there to await the speedy demise of 'the poor wreck of a, man who had once Ixien rc.spccted its Fred Henman.

He had not long to wait, for it was but ten days later when he re- c-cived a communication from a firm of lawyers in Liverpool announcing the death of Fhilip Egerton, and begging the captain to journey north W'ithout delay.

The dead man lay in the darkened room, and a w'oman sat by the bed- side. She glanced curiously at the corpse now and then, and the sus- picion of a smile played round hen mouth. The door opened and Cap- tain Roger Heriot entered. At the sight of the woman he started back in amazement.

“Sophiit! You here?” “Yes, Roger ; is hot a woman’.s

place Ivesidc her husband?” “Hush ! be silent ! This is not your

Bfisband.” “Ob,- I bC'g bis pardon. May I in-

quire |fthe name of 'this gentle- man ?”

“,Be quiet and don’t Ire a fool.. The lawyer is here now. Remem- ber that the man is Fhilip Eger

ton ; stick to that, do you hear ?” “On one condition.” “And that is?” “Halves.’’ Further talking was precluded by

the arrival of the lawyer, who after various preliminaries iirocceded to i*-ead the will wliich Fred Dunman had executed before his death.”

“The will is short, -sir, quite short, but in iKirfect order.” This is the last Will and Testament

of me, Philip Egerton, of Hyde Park Lane, London, in the County of MidtUesex, and Hailing -Lodge, Little Willow-ay, in the County of Surrey, Gentleman. fVhereby I be queath to Mias Mary Henman, of Oak Cottage, Barnes, In the Coun- ty of Surrey, sister pf my fri- end Frederick Hanman, an Annuity of £3,000, and 1 make this Annuity a first charge upon my estate.. The residue of my property I leave to my friend Captain Roger Heriot, of the Albany, London, and appoint him sole E.xccutor of this my W'ill. “That is the will, sir, duly sign-

ed and a,tteste<l in the presence of witnesses.” »

“Ho I understand that this Mi.ss Hanman rcccivce an annuity of £3,- 000 a year, and that I am eimi>ly residuary legatee?”

“That is the situatio.n. Captain Heriot.” , "

“And until this annuity is pro- vided I handle nothing ?”

“Exactly.” The lawyer, after undertaking to

sec matters through, took his leave, and Sophie immediately indulged in a peal of laughter.

“Oh, Roger, this is .splendid. Who would have thought Fred so cute? Three thousand pounds a year io his 'sister, and what do you get, my [>oor deluded friend ?”

“A house in Hyde Park Lome, a lodge in Little WiJloway, and £400 a year to keep them up.”

“We can’t live on £400 a year.” “We r “Yes. Either I share or you get

nohting." “1 get precious little as it is.

But 1 suppose it must )« halves. 1 must stay here until to-morrow and see the late lamented put un- der,”

“Right .von are^r suppsase "that fool of a lawyer 'toll communicate with this Mary Henman ?”

“1 suppose sc, unle.is I do so first. By Jove ! 1 sec a w ay out of it. tl I marry Mary Henman tliat £3,- 000 a year is safe.”

“And if there w'as no Miry Hon- man there w'ould be no need for an annuity. Head men tell no tales, nor women either.”

“You mean ?” “Exactly. ’ Tap, tap, tap. The blind beggar crept slowly

along Hyde Park Lane, teeling the railings carefully with his ironshed stick. Outside a certain iiouse he stopped, and leaning against a pillar gaz'ed vacantly through his h.eavily rimmed glasses. The house door open cd, and Captain Iferiot arid Sophie came out.

“You know the address, Roger?’ “Y'es. Oak Cottage, Barnes. ’ “Well, play your curds carefully

and meet me at the Trocadoro at nine.”

“All 'right. Here’s that confound- ed blind man again.”

“Pity the poor blind.” “Oh, confound you ; be off.” He hailed a hansom and drove off.

The cab was no sooner out of .sight than Ihe blind beggar hailed another and was driven rapidly to Barnes. Taking up) his position a short dis tance from Oak Cottage he waited, and an hour later Captain Roger Heriot m-ade liis appiearance.

The capitain knocked and w'as ad- mitted. The blind beggar crept in- to the imroh and sat dow'n. A faint murmur of voices reached him, but he could not hear the conversation. When the captain left the beggar was walking- along the StationÈoad —tap, tap, tap with his stick.

As- soon as he was ought of sight the blind beggar took off his sgiec- tacles, beard and wig. The tattered overcoat w-.as removed and throw-n over his arm, and the erst.wile ob- j'oet of charity became a very pjre- scintable young man.

“And now for home and little Mary.”

He oiKined the door of Oak Cot- tage with his key, but Mary Hen- man had seen iiim coming, and as soon as he entered a pair of arms were thrown around his neck.

■‘Oh,'Jack—Jack, such good news. Guess. 1 am an Iieir-uss! £3,ÜÜ0 a year, Jack—just think of it.”

“Good news, indeed, little girl ; but tell me all about it.”

“I can’t ‘'understand it yet, .Tack, but somebody has died and Jett it to me. A gentleman named Captain Roger Heriot called just now-, to tell me. I am to have all the money and Captain iHeriot the houses, and —oh. Jack, it is so funny ! It appears he hasn’t got enough money to keep up the two places, and jje wanted me to think about 'marrying him.”

“Ha, ha ! very funny. !” “Of course, I told him 'that I was

going to marry you.” “But you haven’t told me ,wlio

left -you the money.” “Oh ! how stupid of , me ; I never

knew the man, but his name is Fhilip Egerton.”

“Philip Egerton !” “Y'es, Jack, a friend of Frcd’.s, I

believe.” “And—and is Philipi Egerton

dead ?” “Of course, be is, you stupid;

how could he feave me the money if he was alive ?”

“,Why, certainly. But listen, little woman, are you quite sure that you are going to- be so rich ?”

“Hon’t be an old goose, Jack.” “Well, I have told you mycircum'

stances. My name Is not John Castle ; I am waiting fiatiently to track him down, îind until a have done that I cannot reveal 4nyself.”

“You have told fne all that be- fore, dear. I love you. I trust you.”

It W'as the privilege of a repre- sentative of The News, while in Ot- tawa on Thursday of last w'cek to bo introduced to Mr, “Fat” Burns, of Calgary, know-n as the “Cattle King of the Territories,” w-ho ac- companied by his fellow'-townsman, Mr. T. Allan, is spending some days at the Capiital.

Mr. Burns began business in a small w'ay in west about the time of the bu^Ulkg of the C. and E. railw-ay, and has got a very large abattoir in Calgary and is in the retail butcher trade in almost every larg<‘ tow'n in the west. In Fernie, Cranbrook .Rossland, Nelson, Mac- leod and many other towns in Al- Ixirta and Britiish Columbia the name of F. F. Burns & Co. appears on ihe sign boards of large, successful and w'ell appointed retail buiclicr shop.s. His holdings in we.stern rancliing lands are very extensive and his herds ot cattle are almost lieyond computation. His trade has been as mtrch with the cast as W'ith the western ' consumers, as he has supplied in large measure the miners and lumbermen in Ihc w-est, where his name has become quite a household w'ord. He has frequently been spoken ot as a candidate tor Central Alloorta for the H^use ot Commons, but would -never consent to allow his .name to be used as a candidate tor nominations and lias consequently never been in politics, lie is a st/ong Liberal, but has 'ooen sati.sficd hitherto to devote himself to the cattle business. In addition to his ranching interests Mr. Burns lias also a silver rnine in Mexico to w'hich be has devoted som-3 at- tention. In 1900 he built a çalatial home in Calgary, said to surp-iss any private residence in western Canada. He was married a little later. He ttill a young man, ocing about fortyrfive years of age.

Information of Interest for Corn Growers.

The difficulty of igottinig reliable seed corn of desirable types and the expensive lessons learned bj' many com grawiors who use seed of unknown vitality make the ques tion of reliable seed for 1905 of more than ordinary interest. A sur vey of the available supply of nor- thern grown seed of this important fodder crop indicates 'that the dif- ficulties of getting good seed will be even greater this year than dur ing tlic two previous years. The best varieties for .{odder or ensilage purposes, along the northern limit of the corn belt in Canada, .ire undoubtedly of the “Flint” type. In the latitude of Ottawa only a few special strains ot the “Dont” varieties give good results for en- silage in the average year.

Unfortun.itely for pirogress in corn raising in Canada our supplies of seed have been drawn largely from the country to the south and have been of types and varieties that re- quired a longer season to mature than is afforded in some of our best dairy districts, where the corn crop i.s most needed and most va- Inahlc. We liavc a number of very good men who arc making a spe- cialty of growing corn for the pur peso of seed along Lake Eric, andi who have a limited quantity of good seed for sale this year. The Cana- dian Seed Growers’ Association has taken up in a business-like way the matter of creating a supply of re- liable seed corn, and it may be said that the future promises for a i>crraaneut basis of supply of a high-class article and of varieties that are exceptionally well suited tor ensilage and fodder purposes in all parts of Canada where corn can be grown wilh success.

The severe frost during the early part of last autumn rendered the bulk of the corn crop m Ontario absolutely u.seiess for the purpose of seed. A belt about a mile in width along the northern shore of Lake Erie was affected only slighl- ly, and from some sections in this district .there is a supply of very good seed.

T(hc cost of the small quantity of seed corn that is required to plant an acre, in comparison with the- cost for labor in cultivating and handling and the ultimate value per acre of a good croi>, would seem to make it clear that the best avail- able seed of the most satisfactory type and variety should be obtained at any reasonable cost. It would be much better for Canadian farm- ers if they were able to Obtain their supplies <jf seed cprn in the car ; tiicy would Lhen have a fair idea of what they were getting:. While in the ear, the danger of injury to the vitality of the seed from damp and its after effects is reduced to a minimum. Corn .that is shelled by a machine and. left in sacks for six weeks or more will seldom germinate more than 75 per cent, unless the conditions for stor- age have been exceptionally good. The average vitality of seed corn, in the Seed Laboratory last year were, for corn received in the ear, 95 per cent, and for shelled corn, 08 per cent.

it is much • to be yeconi mended then that, wherever possible, farm- ers obtain their .supplies of seed corn in the ear only. To meet the demand for seed corn in {his COIL-

dition grorvers would do well to adopt the style of shipping crate that is used for this purpose in the states of Iowa and .Illinois. This crate is two feet nine Inches long, one foot wide, and one foot deep, ajj,d is made of half -inch lumber three inches in width. Its capacity is one bushel, or between one hundred and one hundred and twenty ears. If the corn can ,be planted in hills, this crate will liold sufficient seed for five acres. While it is true that 'there may bo some additional cost for freight, on acr icount of the weight of tjie cob and of the crate, and that éxtra work is required in shelling the corn, these become insignificant when the difference in value between an acre of good matured corn and an acre of unsatisfactory crop is con- sidered. I (

Seed Testing on the Farm. To find out whether seeds are

capable of producing plants re- quires neither expert knowledge nor special apparatus. Satisfactory material is to be found in every farm home, for making germination tests of practically any kind of seed used on the farm. The simplest and most convenient way to test seed of corn and other cereaf grains and most of the root crop and larger vegetable seeds is 'to place a numlier ol them—say one hundred—between pieces of moist- ened blotting paper, Canton flannel or cloth ; sdt them in an ordinary dinner pl.ite and invert another plate fo cover them. The seed should be kept moist but not wet. The temperature of ^the average farm liouse living room would he quite suitable, but some ettre should lie taken to guard against exccs.sivo heat or cold. All good strong seed of corn, «“real grains, clovers or timothy, thus treated, itill have germinated ai the end of live day.s. Very small sc<'.ds of the Cin;i grasses, of seme of Uie garden vegetables and’of beets or mangels may be germinated to better ad- vantage by scattering them in a saucer, belonging to a flower ’pot,, that has been soaked in 'water, and set on a cloth that .should be kc^t damp, or in a pan containing' mot more than one-eighth of an inch of water, i he oliject being to keep the saucer moist, but uot wet. If such a saucer he not available, a hr'.ck will answer the purpo.se a.s well. In gcrininatiiig seeds in an cartliern saucer tliey may be ex— ixiscd to the light, but not to tlie direct rays of the sun.

Mr. Angus Cameron, passes Away at his Home, Athol.

I’rofound regret at the passing away ot Angus Cameron is felt in tlie . immediate neighborhood ot his homo and in the greaicr part of Stormont and Glengarry, where he was well kiwiivn and rcsiiected. In his 8;ith year he was active and no one would for a moment think that he reached the three score and ten mark. He was light of foot and faculties unimpaired. He had two weeks before his death, whicli took place on Tuesday, tlie 14th inst., occasion to transact, business about twelve miles from his hVmc. While returning in ihe evening he gave a young man a conveyance in his cutter, and finding his hands cold, he asked his passanger to drive with the result-that the vehicle was up- set and both occupants landed in the snow, with their robes. The hoiise Igot away and carrying the buffaloes over the heavy snow, roads overheated the man, before they reached Tayside, where the run- away horse had been stopped. Driv- ing home in this condition, Angus Cameron took a ciiiil from wliicli a .severe attack of Fneumonia deve- loiKid. Medical allcndance and all the care that a devoted daughter and wife could ‘bestow could not arrest the course of the disease— so that after twelve days’ illnc.ss he died.

During the rebellion of 1837-38” Mr. Cameron was a 'member of Colonel Donald Miles McDonald's He giment. He was a capital story teller 'and gave many talks of ex- periences while carrying the old Brown Bess musket.

He lived on the farm he owned and occupied and which he purchased from the old Colonel, for over sixty years. He was one of ■{he 'pioneors Ln fact the la,st who made homes for themselves from the forest clad farms of the Tbiwnship of Eox- borough.

Mr. Cameron was twice married, hiis first wife was 'Euphemia Bcgg, by whom he had pne eon and five daughtci-s, of these Mrs. 'Duncan Mo Kercliar and Mrs. John Aird spr-i vive. He has a large numlxir of grandchildren and 'great grandchil- dren. Hiis second wife was Mrs. Me Cillivray nee Cameron, of Duuve- (gan.

Mr. Cameron served as cuuneillor for some time. He wius an ardent Liberal and voted that ticket with- out a break since he ixilled liis first vote in 1841. -

In religion he was u Presbylerian and his pastor, Kev. H. D. Ticitch, conducted the funeral service. The funeral was largely' attended.

Tiie smart trick was discovered, and now all samplc.s, mated or ot h.'.rwi.se, have to pay full duty ; so, by his would-be smart work, our shoe- selling cousin h.'i.s killed tlie goose that laid the golden eggs.

MOTOR FARMING.

liAtest Phase ot Scientlflo Agrlcaltnre in Fngland.

The many uses to which the motor has boon put are illustrated in the accompanying (photograph, which shows the Ivol agricultural motor, an English invention, at work. This machinq is capable of hauling any kind of two or three furrow plow, or, in fact, any agricultural implement. It can also be used for driving all kinds of machinery usually driven by steam or gas engines, and when not at work in the, field it can be doing cartage work.

In a plowing experiment the Ivcl motor, hauling a three furrow plow, plowed six acres one rood nine poles of land of very hard surface to an

average depth of seven inchoa ia eii hours, flfty-fow minutes, and cost worked out at a rate of 5 ings per acre, which included e' ■tâiing.

'Comparing these figures with cost of doing the same work in the ordinary old fashioned way, it will bo realized that by using the Ivel motor you can get the work done very much cheaper and quicker.

Machines have already been export- ed to Portugal, Egypt and South Africa, as in these countries the sup- eriority of mechanical power over horses and cattle is appreciated.

ronltry Notes.

Don’t forget lime and gravel. Both are necessary in the poultry yard.

There ought always to be a shal- low box full of dry dust In every (ïoultry house, both winter and sum- mer, and It should be often renewed. A constant and never failing dust bath is the very best remedy for Uce.

Excess of salt is not good for fowls. When they can get to It they sometimes eat it la fatal quantities, but a little salt—as, for instance, in their food—Is beneficial.

Chickens are the most profitable animals on the farm, but they gen- erally receive the least attention.

The Standard recognizes eight va- rieties of ducks, the Peking being the latest and most popular.

Poultry may be too fat for egg production, but when preparing them for the market remember that weight counts.

It pays farmers as well as poultry fanciers to change their breeding cockerels eqch year. It improves the flock and also helps to strengthen the health and growth of the young stock.

An over-fod fat cock is undesirable. He should have plenty of exercise and be kept in only moderate flesh.

TESTING HERDS. Wliat the Danes D^ v- . :me—Object I..CB*on

for Canada—Farmc-r.*» Profitably Imitate These Knerge io Kiva>s.

The little kingdom of Denmark oc- cupies an almo.st unrivalled position as a producer of first class bacon and butter, as Canadian exporters of those products fully realize. This pre-eminence has been brought about chiefly by the general diffusion of agricultural information and the hearty co-operation of the farmers along, every line that will bo to their mutual advantage. There are many directions ÿj which Canadians might profitably imitate these energetic rivals of ours, not the least import- ant being in the improvement of dairy herds. The aims of intelligent dairymen, in Canada as well as in Denmark, is to produce the largest amount of first-class milk, butter or cheese at the least cost. Ix;t us see, then, what co-operative testing has done for the Danish dairy herds in the way of cheapening the cost of production.

The first of these co-operative test- ing associations was formed in 1895. Each society is composed of a limit- ed number of farmers, about twelve or fifteen, who agree to have careful tests of their cows made at frequent intervals during the whole milking period by a competent man hired for the purpose. Fairly accurate records arc thus obtained, not only of the yield of milk and butter fat, but of the amount, kind and cost of the feed consumed. The information thus se- cured has proved remarkably effective in inducing the Danes to adopt bet- ter methods of breeding, feeding and culling dairy) cows.

In 1895, when the first testing as- sociation was formed, the value of the butter exported from Denmark was $19,000,000. In 1901, when over three hundred of these associa- tions were scattered over that coun- try, the value of the butter exports amounted to $29,000,000, an in- crease of over fifty per cent, in six years. It is generally agreed that the greater part of this enormous in- crease was due to the work of the testing associations in weeding out the poor cows. Not only was the average production of the milking cows largely increased, but so much additional skill in feeding was ac- quired that the cost of feed necessary to produce a pound of butter is novr estimated to bo less than two-thirds of what it was when the fiist co- operative association started opera- tions in 1895.

Canadian dairymen who are look- ing for dividends on their invest- ments should consider these figures. The reports of the testing societies showed that the cost of keeping those yearly records was from forty to sixty cents per cow, while the in- creased retv.rns per cow, as a re- sult of five years’ testing, were from six to fifteen dollars per annum. Surely this is an eminently satisfac- tory rate of interest. The extra- ordinary increase in the number of these societies in Denmark shows how highly their work is appreciated. The tests made by the original as^ sociations were sufficient -to convince the Danish farmers that they wore not dairying on business principles— thiat they were allowing a lot of rob- ber cows to eat up the profits pro- duced by their good cows—and they were quick to adopt better and more profitable methods.

The hundreds of co-operative cheese factories and creameries ■doing busi- ness throughout Canada prove con- jdusivcly that we can work success- fully along co-operative linos. It is •jnly a short stop from the co-oper- atlvo factory to the co-operative testing, association, and it would seem that raothods which have proved of such marked benefit In Denmark could not much longer remain un- heeded in this country. In every dairy community there is at least one particularly intellige.nt and pro- gressive man, who would have little trouble in inducing twenty or thirty of his neighbors to join him in an enterprise that has proved so pro- fitable elsewhere;

It has been demonstrated by the census returns and other official stat- istics, by the work of the experiment- al farms and agricultimal colleges, and by numerous private luvcstiga-

of jlairy herds that a largo pro- kept at an

cam- lers

exist aeed-

■' “ ■ ''~1ayem ttf bo

made to yield mifkis by far the most important one that con- fronts our dairymen to-day. The possibilities in this connection were well illustrated by Prof. Grisdale at the recent Winter Fair at Guelph. He told of a friend of his who had in- creased the average production of his herd from $35 in one year to $45 the next, although the price of choose re- mained the same. In the third year, with cheese considerably higher, the average of his herd came up to $60, and in the year following to $70. This was accomplished by more skil- ful feeding, by weeding out unprofit- able cows, and by buying from neigh- bors better producing cows, of whose value the owners were ignorant.

THE NEW AGRICULTURE. Farming As a business—IniproTlng th®!

Farm Homs—How to <tet Rid ot the

Appellation "Old Hayseed."

\Vc are moving out of the old con- ditions, said I’rof. C. C. Jaiiie.s. On- tario's Deputy Minister of Agricul- ture at the Maritime Winter .Fair. When our settlers first came to Can- ad.a they faced the primeval forest, and during all the clearing period the old agriculture held sway. With a new generation, conditions began to change; live stock came in, large barns were built, butter and cheese began to he made, and wo gradually changed all our methods. This build- ing and the exhibits it contains are proof that wo are trying to keep up with the demands of the tipies and to compete with other countries by following the neiy agriculture.

The New Agriculture must bo con- ducted upon business principles. In old times it did not seem so neces- sary to pursue those business me- thods; in fact, with the surroundings then existent, there was no chance to do so. In our towns and cities the merchant and the manufacturer has also had to change his methods of business. The farmer is just as much a manufacturer as the man in town who makes boots, cloths and hard- ware. 'The manufacturer in town finds it necessary to make the kind of goods that the consumer demands. It is also one of the conditions to- day that the fanner should produce what his customer want. We must consider what our district is best capable ot producing, and work along that lino. Grow the crops and keep the live .stock that, thrive best whore we live.

The manufacturer must produce economically. Our best saw mills, for instance, are now run with prac- tically no waste of material; even tho dust is used. One of the best ex- amples ot economical manufacturing is .soon in tho groat stock yards of Chicago, where absolutely every part of an animal is turned into a market- able product. So the farmer must endeavor to convert to a profitable use all his products. He should sec to it that there is no waste land under weeds, under fences, or in care- less cultivation. The farmer has, perhaps, in his operations greater problems to meet .than any other manufacturer, if he would avoid un- necessary waste.

Tho Now Agriculture must he con- ducted upon Bcientiflc ‘ principles. There should not to-day be any ob- jection to book farming, for the in- telligent man can from agricultural papers and books get the valuable experience of other men who have done the work he is trying to do: Our people are wisely beginning to lay «side their prejudice against books, and to try to get the best in- formation from every available source. Scientific men have been and arc studying and finding out truths about plant growth, tho constituents of our soils, tho breeding and feed- ing of animals, the growing of fruit, etc., and it will pay us to learn what those men have found out. ^

The farm work of the future will bo a great deal more enjoyable. In Ontario tho fanners are very seldom referred to as “old hayseeds.’’ 'The intelligent man who watches closely all the results of his work is inter- ested and takes a pleasure in it. The world has lately found out that tho fanner can bo benefittod by an edu- cation applicable to his business.

A few years ago in Ontario we first found out that the farmer had a wife, and wo are doing what we can for the betterment of tho woman on tho farm. In the past she has had a hard life, her work has been prac- tically unending and she has not had the benefit of labor-saving de'viccs to the same extent as her husband. We are trying to relieve the farmer’s wife of all the drudgery possible by our system of women’s institutes and domestic science teaching. We have also found out that there ai'C child- ren on the farm, and we are in- augurating a movement to try to provide tho right kind ot education for those children.

The honm is where our agriculture starts ana is nurtured. Tho reform- ation of tho agricultural home is tho start after all of our New Agricul- ture. Establish a farmer with an in-

tclination to knowledge, a wife who iiknous how to make the most of her Opportunities, and children getting a

ational education, and I care not how poor that farm is, it will suc- ceed. With these conditions, we shall hear no more about the "old hay- seed,” but wo shall see the farmer walking tho streets of our towns as well dressed as anyone, and respect- ed as one of the best citizens of Canada.

Any man who wants a good overcoat and who would like to keep half or a third of his money, had better come and see or stock andsee what’s going on. There isn’t anything to look out for. No sir ! Not at our store. For our overcoats are as good as any tailor made overcoats. To any body who isn’t satisfied with his bargain we’ll be glad to give your money back if you want it. You see some of our overcoats are half price. They are the overcoats we .are anxious to sell. Perhaps the very overcoat you are anxious to buy. Our reason is for this.' Because we want the.room for our spring goods. Our store is getting too crowded with goods, and we must get rid of the few odd lines of winter goods.
