NOTES AND COMMENTS AGRICULTURE IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND TRAINING OF TEACHERS. Bon Nelson Monteith, member for South Perth and Minister of Agricul• tare, was defeated by Mr. Valentine Stook; majority 16. A number of the ridings were gerry- mandered to snit the Goverument and in nearly every case the expected bas happened. Huron County was "fixed" to elect two Conservatives and one Liberal and this has worked the Liberals oat of one member. Duncan Ross' victory in the gerrymandered riding of North Middlesex is one of the pleasing features of the campaign. At the public meeting on Friday evening last in the Town Hall, we learn that Mr. Musgrove oompiimented the two Wingham newspaper men for the very fair and clean manner in which they had conducted their part of the campaign. The TIMES man heartily appreciates this word of praise from Mr. Musgrove. We endeavored to be fair and honest in all our work in connection with the campaign, and are more than ever oonvinoed that nothing is gained by showing bitterness or ill -feeling in an election campaign. Is is asserted in the Conservative press than this year the Manitoba voting lists are being framed with perfect impartiality. Granting that this is true, and that Liberal assertions to the contrary are unfounded, this provides no assurance of permanent fairness. So long as the lists are made up wholly under partisan management there is, at least, a danger of unfairness, Sir Wil- frid proposes simply to provide guaran- tee of -permanent impartiality by estab• heating a system of revision by the Pro. 'sandal Jadges,-St. John Sun. It is the deliberate blocking of the work of Parliament by this unreasoning partiean obstruction that has become the main isene before the country. Such obstruction is in vi.lation of the funda• mental principles of representative Government. It wcnld not be possible in the Btitish Parliament nor in the Congress of the United States The duty of the Dominion Government in the present juncture is plc,iu, and the people of Canada look to the Government with confl lence that it will do that duty in viudication of the fundamental pri.rcipie of the British re- presentative system, the right of the majority to rule. -Winnipeg Free Press, The Finance Department will close the books for the year ending March 31st last in a few days. A few returns are still to come in, and the definite figures as to the total revenue and expenditure are still unavailable, but the figures now in show that Mr. Fielding's estimate in his budget speech of a su,'pins of $19,- 000,000 will be more than realized. The total revenue for the year is slightly over $96.000,000. The statement of revenne for May, as shown in the books of the Finance Department on the last day of the month, was $6 306,270, a de- crease of $1,987,098 as compared with the corresponding month of last year. The total revenue for the first two menthe of the present fiscal year is given as $11,- 899, 381, a decrease of $3,221,526 nom- peard with April and May of 1907. (By C cultural College, President Agri - The problem of successfully teaching Agriculture in the public schools has been long under trial and eoneideration, and everyone admits the wisdom of in- atructing the ohildren in the rural schools in the elementary priuciples of the science that relates to their life activities. The difficulty however of securing teachers speoially trained for the work has hindered advancement. The day is gone by for thinking that the subject may be adequately provided for by a text book alone. There must be more than this. The sohools must have teachers prepared for the work. The rural Schools must have special rural teachers, All over America a movement to secure this end is in evi dence. Ontario has been active in the cause for the past four years, but greater public interest is needed in order to attain results commensurate with the importance of the interests involved. The basin industry of Ontario-Agrioul- tnre-requires for its proper growth and development the co-operation of the schools. All those interested in the education of ohildren--trustees, parents and teachers -should share in the responsibility of meeting the require- ment, To this end arrangements have been made by the Education Department for the holding of a Summer School for Teachers at the Agricultural College at Guelph. It opens on July 2nd and con- tinues for four weeks. Iastructton Is given in,five•distinct contra, viz: (1) Elementary Agriculture, i(2) Nature Study, (3) Art and Constrnotive Work, (4) Manual Training ( Woodwork) , (6) Household Scienoe. Macdonald Hall will be open for the accomodation of lady teachers at a charge of $:5.00 for the four weeks. There aro no tuition fees. The instruction in Elementary Agriculture prepares the teacher for taking up the work of School Garden- ing at oar rural schools. All the other oonrsos help to fit the teacher to teach ohildren in terms of their environment and their life activities. The urban teachers will have their needs met in the courses in Nature Study, Art, Eta. Further particulars may be had on application. The Ontario Agricultural College has given - instructions along these lines during the past four years to about 250 teachers. Itehas only reached so far a very, very small fraction of our school children thereby. It desires to extend its usefulness and asks for the active sympathy ot all concerned. Teachers should be encouraged by their trustees to take up the work. Only by this co• operation can our schools be brought into accord with recent and approved edncational development.

Several important additions have been made, including an offer of $1,100 00, divided into six prizes, for the best floral design to cover not more than 500 square feet of floor space. The Dominion Short. horn Association give $2,000.00 and the Clydesdale Assaciatiou 2500.00 to the premiums cffered for Shorthorns and Clydesdales. Several classes for horses and outfits used in business have been incorporated. Upwards of $700 00 has been added to the amount given in prizes in the agricultural section. Alto- gether, including medals and onps, the amount given in premiums reaches up- wards of $50,000.00, by far the greater portion of which is devoted to live stock and agricultural products.

This week we are again called upon to record the death of one of the pioneer residents, in the person of Grace Cam- eron, beloved wife of Mr. Geo. Dal- garno. Deceased was in her 76th year and before moving into the village lived a long time in East Wawanosh. lire Dalgarno was held in high esteem by her old neighbors and with all who had the pleaenre of her acquaintance. The I bereaved relatives will have the sym- pathy of a largo circle of friends. The funeral, which tools place to the Wing' ham eemetery en Friday last Was large- ' ly attended, POOR BLOOD BRINGS MISERY Pale Faces and Pinched Cheeks Show That Dr, Williams' Pink Pills are Needed, English L.i oleum Anaemia is written on the features of ninety women and girls . out of every hundred. Unmistakeable are the signs of "too little blood " • The weaker sex is assailed at all ages by the evils resulting from bloodlessness, from the girl who is weak and languid, with dull eyes, pale, pinched cheeks, fitful appetite and palpitating heart, to the woman who feels uevar well, with gnawing pains in the back, aohing limbs and nervone headaches. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are specially 'valuable to women of all ages, for they possess the power of making in abund- ance the rich, red blood without which no woman can have perfect health. They fill the starved veins with new blood so that enfeebled ladies are strengthened,weak, nervous systems are fortified and robust health restored.

Mise D'Aragon says:-" s ed as though I was gradually, goin nto a decline. I lost all my strength ; my appetite was very poor; I was pale and suffered from frequent headaches; I was often dizzy and the least exertion would leave me breathless. I doctors for a time, but with little or no benefit. One day I read in the Waterloo Journal the particulars of a mase similar to mine cured by Dr, Williams' Pink Pills and I determined to try them. In a few weeks there was a deoided improvement in my condition, and by the time I had taken seven or eight boxes I was again in the best of health, and able to enjoy myself as well as any of my young friends."

Toronto; Jane 9 -The run was again a light one at the City Cattle Market to -day, and following the light run of yeaterday the supplies were not up to the demand, and consequently prices were firmer and a little higher. Trade was fairly active, although owing to the preseut spell of very warm weather some of the wholesale bntohers are not carrying any more stook than they are obliged. A heavy run now would doubtless have the effect of bringing prices down a little. - The run was 46 loads, with 650 head cattle, 615 aheep and lambs, 500 hogs, and 257 calves.
