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.

A Hair
Dressing
Nearly every one likes a fine
hair dressing. Something to
make the hair more manage-
able; to keep it from being
too rough, or from splitting
at the ends. Something, too,
that will feed the hair at the
same time, a regular hair -food.
Well-fedhair will bestrong,and
will remain where it belongs -
on the head, not on The comb!
The best kind of a testimonial--

has been thoroughly revised from be•
giuning to end and in some respects
presents a neater and more convenient
appearance than formerly. 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. A more than
usually extensive art loan collection is
promised by old•world masters; by spe-

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.

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.
