NOTES AND COMMENTS
There is no gneation of more import-
ance in Canada to -day than land drain-
age. The numbers of thousands of
acres of good farm lands that are almost
useless because of the lack of proper
drainage is a severe handicap to Cana-
dian agriculture. Far too many people
are ignorant of the necessity of drains.
while too few farmers understand how
to lay tile drains or opeu ditches so they
will do the work required. It is true
that some skill is needed to map ont tile
drains, and to decide on the size of tile
required, but the knowledge may be
reoeived by consulting with the experts
of the Agrienitural Colleges, or by pay-
ing the county or township engineer to
visit your farm and give yon necessary
instruction. When the run of the drains
and the size of the tile have been de-
cided, jt will pay to get a reliable man to
do the work, for many drains are spoil-
ed by improper laying. Tiles that run
up hill and down will not oarry off the
Sow of water, Levels cannot be ascer-
tained by guessing et them, The work
is so important that it pays to secure the
best skill available and lay the tile in-
telligently.
On the subject of the public debt
it is interesting to note that on
September 30, 1909, the net debt of
the Dominion was $320,698,464, or
$3,231815 less than it was on the
31st of March, 1909. The Mail and
Empire should study the financial
statement of the Dominion for the
first half of the present fiscal year.
The following are extracts from it;
"The revenue for the first six monthe
of the present fiscal year shows an in-
orease of $6,526,297, as oompared with
the first six months of 1908 09. For the
month of September alone the inorease
in revenue was $1 570 709, as com-
pared with the same month last year,
and the total expenditure decreased, as
compared wish September of last year,
2.584,275. Revenue for six months
ending 30th September, 1909, $.47.353,-
819 Expenditure on consolidated fund
account for same period, $31,563,393.
Expenditure on capital account for same
period $13 213,063 " There is nothing
blue in theee figures to give the Mail
sod Empire cause of worry. What
will it have to say when the close of
this year shows the highest revenue in
the history of the Dominion?

THE SIMPLE LIFE.
Those who hanker after the simple
life will be interested to rending Dr.
Cook's account of the aoolal orndition8
found among Eskitncs, Without law,
without literature and without tradi-
tions that are very binding they seem,
tr get along very well, aecordiug to the
testimony of the explorer. The man
takes as many wives as hie fancy directs
pr his means permit. During the
hn'rting eees)n if he dads himself with
too many wives and too few dogs, he
mallet a trade with somebody who has
t :o many doge and too few women.
Men trade wives as in other countries
they trade horses and eo vary the mon-
otony of life. But the men, apparently,
have not all the say, "In other cases,"
says Dr. Cook, describing a partionlar
settlement, "wornen had chosen other
partners and the changes were made
to the advantage of all, for no regrets
were expressed."
Happy psople, without churches or
preachers, judges or lawyers, doctors
or druggists, books or newspapers, pink
teas or bridge parties, bath rooms or
barber shops, tyrannical oastoms or an-
noying conventions! And yet, appar-
ently, they are not without instincts of
civilization, This was shown by their
eagerness to do business with the sailors,
and the character of the business done.
A woman exohanged her fur pants -
Cook calls them fnr pants and he ought
to know -worth $100, fora red pocket
handkerchief with which to decorate her
head. A man exchanged two ivory
horns worth $90 for two bright tin caps,
worth, perhaps, five Dents, and went
away delighted with the bargain. Ia
not the love of ornament the beginning
of oivilizatton? According to a recent
compilation it Coate the women of the
'United States nearly $400,000,000 a
year in the way of dress and bodily
ornament.
IMPROVED HABITS.
• Stratford Beacon.
Despite the idea of some people
that the world is growing worse, it
is in many respects becoming better,
and in none is the change more no-
ticeable in the last twenty-five or
thirty years than in regard to the
treating habit. Iu the early settle-
ment of Ontaril it was considered an
almost indispensable adjanot of a
bee or raising to have a supply of
intoxicating liquors on, hand and
the "grog" boas was almost as much
in evidence as the corner man or the
captain. Later than tli4st it was con-
sidered necessary for commeroial tra-
veIlers to treat their customers in order
to secure sales, but this has passed out
to a very great extent.
The change in this respect has been
very general. The New York Journal
of Commerce remarks that it "used
to be the customs of some large houses
to give star salesmen weekly cheques
ranging from $50 to $100 to be need
in expenses a house did not pare to
charge or enter in detail on its books.
It was understood that the money
was to be spent in furthering sales
in other than strictly moral ways.
Some members of firms never cared
to hear of what had been done."
Nowadays a cigar is usually the ex-
tent of the commercial man's mater-
ial blandishments; the business is
mostly done on its merits, and rare-
ly is the persuasion of intoxicants
used, Even in New York, the paper
referred 10 says, the big merchants
frown upon visite to saloons during
business hours, and "the men of long
experience in the market say so lit-
tle drinking is done nowadays as
compared with ten or even five years
ago that the trade may fairly be said
to be carrying the blue flag during
bnsinese hours," So different are
things today that "it is doubtful if
a single hoose of good standing in the
trade will now consent to pay 'up
town' expenses incurred by a sales-
man or firm member who feels it
incumbent to entertain some visiting
buyer. Whenever such expenses are
inoarred they are paid from funds
other than those controlled by the
house."
This change goes to show that
drinkir g is no longer fashionable, or
at all events much less fashionable
than it was a few years ago. Even
r men who drink themselves show a
preference for abstainers in trusted
positions on their staffs. One great
New York merchant puts it this way:
"The successful men in Commerce to-
day are united in the belief that it
does not pay to keep hard drinkers
on their sales forces, Many' of them
hesitate to hire oven the beet sales-
man if they know that he drinks in-
toxicants at all. The abatalnor has the
preference always."
There is no doubt quite tie marked
a tendency in this direction in Can-
ada as in the 'United States. Many
Canadian merchants know that to
endeavor to influence oaatomers by
treating them would be reeent:ed, and
they do not attempt it. The change is
a wholesome one, good for the ewe
tomer and good for the salesman. It
marks a distinct improvement in the
moral tone of the community, and in
a feet years more treating in cone
neotion with btteinesa deals will be
as exceptional, as it was onde com-
inon.

One reason why the Mason and
Risch piano remains longe L in tune.
Ordinary piano with plate
covering pin -6 ock. Note long
leverage from A to B.
ONE cause for a piano get-
ting out of tune is the bend
ing of the pins under the great
strain of the strings.
This happens oftenest in the
pianos which have the strings
attached high up on the pin giv-
ing the string a great leverage
on the pin.
In most makes of pianos the
strings must be attached high on
the pin because the pin -block is
covered by the iron plate which
neither the strings nor pins must
touch.
Mason
and Risch
The piano with a soul
Now the iron plate does not
cover the pin -block of the Mason
and Risch piano as the strings
are attached to the pins close
down to the pin -block where it
is solid as a rock and will not
bend.
To this system of con-
struction is due in part
perfect standing in tune
the instrument.

PAUL A PRISONER -THE SHIPWRECK•
Acts xxvii:27 to xxviii:10.
Golden Text. -The Lord redeemeth
the soul of his servants; and none of
them that trust in him shall be desolate.
Pe. xxxiv:22
Verses 27-29. - Why doss God
permit storms and stress to come
into most lives and sometimes per-
mits them to continue until all
human hopes are abandoned? (This
question must be answered in writ-
ing by members of the club.)
What is the Christian's anohor
which never Toile him no matter what
danger his ship may be in? (See Heb.
vl:19 )
Verses 30 32 -Are all God's promises
of help or deltverance conditional, or
are come of them absolute and unoon•
ditioned?
If these men had forsaken the ship, as
they planned, how would that affect the
saving of the rest of them?
Here is a case of casting away a boat
to save a ship, what principle does that
suggest in human lite?
Verses 33-38 -There are two things,
at least, possible no matter how great
the distress; one is to wring your hands
and bemoan your fate, and give up
hope; the other is to be cheerful, and
see how best to save the ship; which is
the better, and how can it be accom-
plished?
Why is it that the conrage and good
cheer of one man Dau save an entire
crew from despondency and defeat?
May praying and fasting. when you
onght to be eating and working, bo as
great a practical prime as s'uttling the
ship?
Why does God generally need our
help when he would save ns from any
impending calamity? (v. 38 )
Verses 39.44 -To a true man is it
always so, that after night comes the
day, after sorrow comes joy, and after
so•called defeat comes victory?
Does God, in these days, ever save a
family, a business, a community, or a
nation, for the sake of one man, as he
saved the passengers and Drew of this
ship for the sake of Paul?
Tnlins prevented the killing of the
prisoners for the sake of Paul; is there
any analogy between that and the sav-
ing of sinners for the sake of Jesus?
God told Paul that all hands should be
saved, and the ship lost, and thieia what
happened; speaking from your own ex-
perience are all God's promises equally
dependable, whether of a general char -
eater as in the Bible or given to the
individual soul?
Chap. xxviii:1-Where is the island
of Melita where this wreck occurred?
Verse 2, -Are uncivilized people be-
fore they have had experience with
white men, generally kind to stran.
gers?
Verses 3 4. ---When an accident, or
sickness, or other natural calamity
Domes to a man, is it any true sign that
he is a sinner?
Verses 6 6. - If a poisonous viper
should fasten on a good man's hand
to -day, God. would probably not pre-
vent the poison from taking effect;
is that a fact to be regretted or other-
wise?
Versos 7.10. -Is there always "a silver
lining to every dark cloud"?
Are there any oiroumstancea in which
a good man cannot help his fellows?

LUMBER CUT OF 1909.E
Reduction Shown by Reports From
More Than 30,000 Sawmills.
Every farmer in the United States
must be interested in the lumber pro-
duced. During the year 1908 31,231
sawmills in the United States manu-
factured
anntactured 33,289,369,000 feet of lumber,
according to a preliminary report is-
sued by the bureau of the census.
These mills also cut 12,100,483,000
shingles and 2,980,684,000 lath. Lum-
ber manufacturing, like every other
Industry, felt the effects of the busi-
ness depression tvbieh began in Oc-
tober. 1907. Consequently the produc-1
tion in 1908 was below that for the
previous year. In 1907 the cut of
28,850 sawmills was 40,250,154,000feet,
the highest production ever recorded.'
Noth withstanding, therefore, that in
1908 reports were received from 8 per
cent more mills than in 1907, the de-
crease in lurnber cut reported by them
was slightly over 17 per cent.
Washington, as for several years,
still ranks first among the states in
lumber production, its cut in 1908 be-
ing 2,915,928,000 feet -a decrease of
22.8 Mer cent over the cut In 1907..
Nearly all the lumber manufactured
In Washingtou is Douglas fir, the mar-
ket for which was seriously affected
by the panic. Louisiana ranks second,
with 2,722,421,000 fret, a decrease of
250,000,000 feet, or 8.4 per cent, from
the cut in 1907. Louisiana is first in
clic production of both yellow pine
and cypress. Mississippi was the
Iltirtl state in lumber production in
1005 with a total of 1,801,010,000 feet
--a decrease of 11 per cent from the
cut in 1007.
Arkansas ranked fourth with 1,650,-
091,000 feet, a decrease of nearly 17
per cent from the previous year's out-
put,
utput, and Wisconsin fifth with 1,613,-
315,000 feet against 2,003,279,000 feet
in 1907. In Texas, where the lumber
Industry is confined almost exclusively
to yellow pine, the falling off was very,
heavy. The total cut of the state in
1908 was 1,524,008,000 feet, a decrease
of 31.6 per cent from the cut in 1907.
Eight other states manufactured
more than one billion feet each of
lumber last year. In the order of im-
portance they were: Michigan, Oregon,
Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Al-
abama, North Carolina and West Vir-
ginia. California, Maine and other
states which reported more than one
billion feet each in 1907 went just be-
low that figure in 1908.
While there are many very large
sawmills in the United States, the
small mills far outnumber the large
ones. Many of these small mills are
in the states which are not now of
first rank in lumber production. The
statistics for New York were collected
by the forest, fish and game commis-
sion of that state, which secured re-
ports from 2,291 mills. In Pennsyl-
vania 2,224 mills reported to the cen-
sus, and in Virginia 1,937 mills.
Yellow pine, Douglas fir, white pine,
oak, hemlock and spruce, in the order
named, were the woods cut into lum-
ber in the largest quantity.

layer must come one and a half inches

covering. The packer must see that
every melon is placed firmly in posi-
tion, and the basket must present a
neat and attractive appearance.
How Men Differ.
The difference in men is often aston-
ishing. The corn growers near Des
Moines, Ia., have been satisfied with
a crop bringing $12 an acre, and yet
the son of a stonemason recently came
among them and made as high as $400
an acre out of tomatoes.
In the last seven years this young
man has made $18,000 worth of im-
provements on a little farm of only
thirty-two acres. He uses very little
manure, but a great deal of water.
ITe makes $2,500 a year on lettuce
alone. Other men find farming a slow
business, while this young man makes
a fortune out of it with all ease. The
difference is certainly strange.
Remedy For Sick Calves.
A stockman claims that when calves
three or four days old become sick
and dip with scours it Is due to indi-
gestion, apparently, and yields to
treatment with pepsin if taken in
time. A teaspoonful twice a day giv-
en in a little Warm milk after feeding
will cure it and if given when the calf [
is born An
d
continued for
a few
will prevent It. The pepsin is the
common kind sold in drug stores and
can be purchased by the pound.
Good Hay,
Good hay can only be made by cut-
ting the grass as soon as it heads out
aid clover as soon ne the heads are in
full bloom, It Is d mistake to wait
until the heeds turn brown. There le
nothing in the theory that stinsliine
alone makes hay. Air is as much a
factor as sunshine. Curing mainly 181

practiced by many of our beat hay;
