Tho public are being misled by the statement that the coat of eoheel readers luta been pormnaently reduced by the prevent Gaverntneut. It is true that after a oonnnisaion had made in- quirtee sudor the prceont (government, of whioh eommiesion Mr. J. A. Cooper, present editor of tbo Cenadlan Courier was the practical man, the Government honed an anuouucemorit that after it year and a halt from that date the old Ontario readers would cease to ba cuth' orized. Then the Department adver- tised for the publication of the Ontario readers (luring that year and a belt, but it did not follow the speoifion- tiona and requirements set out in the advertiBement, but gave a contract to the old publiahora, who hada largo stock of thee() books on hand at a low price, to furnish the readers for that year and a half, The old publiehere found th'oinseive8 iu this position, that they had a heavy stook on hand and unless they got a contract tale stook would be dead waste. By getting the contract, they, during the year and a half, ooald work off all readers on hand, in a ready or semi ready etato. Hence the prices new being paid are prices on the breis of a remnaut sale and not permanent. Mr. Cooper, a Coneervntive in politica, in the Canadian Courier, speaking of the reduction in prices, says: "This reduotion in price may last one and a half years What will happen tllon is only c. matter of ool:jeoture. The probability is that if the new set of readers is prepared and the printing and binding brought up to date, the pride will go btok to the old price if not high. en" So that when the whole truth is stated and tho facts fully understood the deception praotioed in this ory of cheap Ontario readers becomes gaite apparent. "That this convention ondoriree the catudidature of Rev. De. DJnaid 0, Hos sack," was the rosolation carried by Nortel Toronto Liberate, amid a scone of splendid political outhustaem, and the man who wrote the famous letter of 1006 and who wrote another equally famous letter a few drays ego accepted the responsibility. He spoke for about twenty minutes, but that speech will long be remembered by those who heard it beoeuse ot Ito login, its boldness, its optimism and Ito iudepondence. Dr. Hoseack censured the 0, N. R guar- antee and the Larose grant, supported a moderato degree of pnblio ownership, and expre'eed the opinion that the time had about come for the abolition of the bar.

Few of ua realize how much influence we impart to those whom we meet on life's journoy, nor the acts this ic- flaence will suggest, says a writer in Kamm farmer. While we are just an atom In the universe of thing°, yet we aro n0ceeeary to matntetn the eqaitt • brium of nature and each life is a part of the great whole whioh comprises the consoione part of existence. This earth is the plane of our being, and each not and deed is a potent force building and moulding oouditions for all lite to oome. How mnoh have we absorbed filtered through generations, of the sweet and noble spirit, the manly courage and indomintable •will, the self denial and eaorifioe, the exalted patience and continued hopes, the desire for truth, honor and virtue? Have these been the legacy willed to ns from out the past by those who banded better than they knew, or have the ripples of malice, hate, envy, greed, lust and dis- honor entered the gateway of life and manacled the soul? Iu making a comparison between crop conditions and prospeots with the spring of 1899 the Farmer's Sun says: The present spring is muoh like that of 1899, save in one particular. In the winter of '98 9 much of the fall wheat ground was left baro of snovr during the time of n very hard freeze, and in a large portion of the Province 00 per cent and upwards of the fall wheat had to bo plowed up in the spring. Spring seeding was also exceed- ingly late, aomo of the beet farmers near Toronto not beginning until the and of April, and in litany oases not tin - Ming until the middle of May. Fail wheat that your was a notable failure, the average yield of the Province beiug 13 iy buahols, and the whole yield only a little over half that of the average of the previous two years. This year fall wheat has come out in good condition, but spring seeding is quite as Tato as it was vino years ago. Comfort may this year be taken from tho foot that although fall wheat was such a failure in '99 other crops were in that year rather better than usual. Spring wheat was fully up to the average, while bar- ley and oats wore two or three bushels above the average, and peas well above the average. Fall wheat, will certainly, bales° a blight strikes it, this year give n full avorago, and if spring grains do as well as in the late Ronson of '90 this year's harvest as a whole will be better than usual.

The remarkable Increase In the value BRIBING ACONSTITUENCY. 11 (Toronto Star,) At Hamilton Premier Whitney said that his Government would not at- tempt to bribe the constituencies. The man who bribed an individual is a tyro in sin compared with the briber of towns. This is sound doc- trine, ani while it is satisfactory to hear it preaohed it is still more im- portant that it shall be practiced. At a meeting held in Now Liekard last week Mr. Lennox, the Whitney candi- date in North York, told the electors that it they wanted large grants for Temiskaming, they must vote for the Government. "It does not make auy difference tote old riding like mine,". said Mr. Lennox, "for there is nothing for us to got. Are you going to say to Mr. Whitney that you do not approve of those large ex- penditures on oolonizatiou roads and other public improvementa-that they ought to be withdrawn. There are members of the Conservative party who think we are spending a great deal of money rap north, and they might welcome a Liberal from a northern constituency as exereesion of opposition on the part of the north. Oould you ex- pect that the Government is going to give as large grants to Mr. MoKelvin, who would criticize everything that they do? Do yon think that the Gov- ernment is going to tee as liberal to a conetituenoy that opposes it? Will Mr. MoKolvin 'have the same weight as Mr. Shillington? If you send a Liberal you will not get as large a grant as you will it you send Mr. Shillington." It in in New Ontario that there is the greatest danger of bribery of con- stituenoos by wholesale. Natarally and inevitably there are larger expen- ditures of public 'money there than in the older parts of the Province. The people look more to the Government, and have closer - relations with Gov- ernmental oilloiale, who wield a power that may 1 ecome tyranutoal and mire ohievous. All the more reaeou that the expenditures should be made fair- ly and impartially, and without ref- ereneo to the one whioh the eleotore choose to make of their franchise. They have a right to vote as freely as an elector of. Toronto. The grants to whioh Mr, Lennox refers ate not gifts from the private fortunes of hir. Whitney and kis oolleaguee, but money derived from the public re- venues of the Province, the property of tho people. Bribery is bad enough under any circumstances, but the of- fence it aggravated when the money of the people Is ailed for corrupt pur- poses. Whooping Cough RELIEVE!)

The first of these itt simply tile disappearance of the pe- culiar delicate flavor and aroma which are found in fresh butter, This takes Place very rapidly, and even within a 'few days after butter is made there la a very appreciable falling off In the flavor of the butter. The explanation of this is doubtless that the flavor and aroma are due in a measure to volatile products which pass off from the but- ter with , considerable rapidity. .This effect, however, is not very appreciable, end the butter for a considerable time remains of a high quality, though not quite so delicate in flavorasat first. - H. W. Conn. Currants and Gooseberries. The new growth of currants and gooseberries should be stopped when it reaches a convenient height in order to induce the formation of side branches and thus increase the area of bearing wood. This is much more important than would at first appear, because the fruit of these plants Is borne upon fruiting spurs welch de- velop from wood two or more years of age. On the other hand, the renewal of the bush Is not only necessary in order to maintain It against insect pests, but to insure a supply of fruit bearing wood to take the place of, the old wood which it has become un- profitable to maintain. -L.

Isis easy going neighbor who makes no plans in ad- vance never has things ready for work when the time comes that a job sbotild be done and therefore is a loser. When cabbage and cauliflower plants are set out the soil should be tightly pressed around the stem of the plant at the surface, and the soil itself should be pressed down smooth. fiat and firmly as one means of protection against the root maggots. From the breeders' standpoint 'rec- ords are especially valuable in assist- ing in finding customers for their stock. Many buyers insist on seeing records of dairy performance before purchas- ing. The dwarf lima beans because of their habit of gro'th are planted and cultivated practically the same as are field beans. They are slightly' hardier than pole limas, and for tbat reason toward the northern limit of the range of this crop it can be planted somewhat earlier in tg-e season than the pole limas. On many farms if the garden be fenced off, with wire netting, say, about four feet high the chickens can then nave practically the run of the land. With persistent fliers tho clip- ping of the flight feathers on one wing will generally keep the birds on the ground floor. In placing labels of any kind on or - Chard trees it is best to place them at about the same corner on all the trees, say on the southeast corner about four feet from the ground. The foliage of- ten hides the labels unless one can re- member just where to look. Pasturing, especially during the first , year, injures 8 an1 sometimes kills al- t falfa. In nutritive qualities alfalfa stands in the front rank. Cattle and sheep sometimes bloat when grazing on alfalfa.It is said to make an nn - rivaled hog pasture, and when fed to farin teams the ration of corn can be greatly diminished. The feed is responsible for the health, growth and flesh of poultry. Young chicks aro often overfed and usually fed An, filthy places or to unclean trougheor vessels.
