The following personal letter WAS received by Mr. John Wilford. of Blyth from his son, W110 is a medico.' missionary in the service of the Methodist Church in the interior of China. The letter deseribes many Chinese customs and, though not written for publication, it will prove of much inberest to News -Record readers, some of whom personally know the writer : Teelintsing, ('hina, Sept. 16th. Dear Folks at home :—It is Friday night again so I guess I will have a little chat with you. I must de- scribe a visit to the highest official in the city which we made a few days ago. There has been a, recent change in officials and this new one made us a call and we were Suppos- ed to return it next day. We, there• - fore, dressed in our best clotheand ordered sedan chairs to come for us. Sperling and , myself were the ones who went. We took a couple of ser- vants along. One of them took our cards and went on ahead, (I enclose one of the ordinary Chinese calling cards on which I have written my Chinese name, "feu Tsu Yee." Fu stands for Wilford. The Chinese turn everything armed, the surname com- e e first instead of last, as at home.) Well, after a few minutes ride we tame to the outer court of the "Yamen," which is the name of the residence of the officials. Our cards were taken in and in the meantime ! we had time to look around us and I see what we could. I might say that the chairmen didn't set Our chairs down at all but stood hold- ing us. This must he the custom, for . ordinarily when we are travelling if a stop is made down gees the chair onto the road. The "Yemen" is also used as a jail and we saw some cif the prisoners while we were wait- ing. One tom of punishment is to , make prisoners wear a coliar of board three fect square with a hole in the °entre for the neck. The man looks like an animal in a pasture field wearing a poke. They also have • a sort of a cage about the size of a man with a hole for his. bead to • come through. Ile gets no chance to neve • around. Besidts these there are other prisoners who are allowed to roam around in a large cell which has wooden bars, Aftor waiting lees time than it has taken to tell you all this the large doors, .'whichlead to the inner .part of . the "Yemen" swung open and our chairs were car - Tied forward and set down. We got out and Me official came to meet us. He is a young Man of a very auiet disposition and spoke very little eith- er on this eccasion or when ho vis- ited our compound. In, fact, he almost _always waited for us to say something and then he would answer it. He us- hered us into the guest -chamber and servants brought us tea which • he personally proffered to us. We said a 'few commonplaces and then After -a very few minutes we arose to go. It was almost shorter than some °fete fashionable society calls at home. He eimehered us out making us go ahead of Thim, which is proper Chinese case tone When we got outside we: dis- missed our •ehairmenand walked over to Jollifie's. • The day after tomorrow is one of China's national holidays. They only . have three great holidaes in the year ; first of the first Month, New Year's e fifth of the fifth month and fifeeenth of the eighth month, which is the one on Sunday. I think I told you before that their menthe do not - correspond with ours. Today is the 16th )0: our ninth =math and is the 113th of their eighth. They generally celebrate by having a big leas. They also give presents, generally in the hope of getting some return. Sperling Plowman, (who has returned) and ourselves all received presents today from the teachers and evangelists. They consisted of eggs, pvanuta and walnuts. Altogether they filled a. wash -basin, Oland anti face)) which was what they aent them in. It is up to us to return something and we are planning to ,give them a feast tomorrow. The Chinese do not use butter and milk the way we do. If they ,ilid, or when they do, there will -lea a great industry in dairying, also a field for the importation of canned milk and butter. A few of the wealthy are be- ginning to use a little .canned milk as a delicacy. We noticed it at a feast we were ate The Chinese grains are : rice, wheat, beans, con, sugar- cane, also a plant that grows eight or ten feet Legit and from which oil is made. Regarding vegetables we have told you in former letters, per- haps, but evillenarrie a few of the mein ones: Irish potatoce, sweet potatoes, cabbage, peas, . beans, corn, squash, egg plant, cucumbers, water ehesnuts, mangolds, radiehes, onions,' beets, al, so bamboo sprouts. Vegetables, as you see, compare favorably with the home country, except. in flavor. Few, with the exception of potatoes, cu- cumbers and onions,' compare in flav- or with the •Canadian -aetiele. ' The same with fruit.. Pears aro as like lurnips ae you could imagine and ap- ples are like crab apples in size and flavor. Cherries are not so . bad, peaches - and 'plums • are fair. These three make' fine prt,scrvee. Oranges are splendid and lase for from four to sixmonths. We have also a few fruits which do not grow , at. home and peanuts and walnuts are very pleatiful. On the other hand, meat is lin dted. They do not butcher cattle. here as at home. Caws are. used as beasts of burden, not for datry p.ur. posts or for beef. . I want to tell yotehow the Chinese harvest and thresh their eice. , The eice growson tall straw like wheat and resembles wheat or barley quite a bit in appearance when it is head- ed .out. it turns yellow when . ripe.. When it is ready- to cut; the .men go into the . fields in gangs of . five or six. Each gang has an ininienee tah about five or six . feet • across the) top. Around one sideof it they have a high piece of matting 'fastened. Two or three men fake little sickles and, cut the grain in handfuls. and lay .it down. Two men stand on each • side . of the tele and take .a handfu,1 of, Me loose grain which. is . lying on •ihe ground and pound itlialf .a dozen. times on the side of the' tub, the matting behind keeping it feara splash- ing out. Then they •throwthe straw down and. drag the tub . along to ..a new place. The. threshed straw ; is afterwards tied in .bundles t� dry be- fore boing stacked. •.- The grain is thencarried to the house and spread on large -'mats in the sun to dry. This is the Chinese way, It :lee very simple bet I'm afraid it would - .take them a long, tnneto go • over ' a, western wheat field:. However, their farms are smolt and they soon n go. ov- er them. A Canadian self -binder ' and team of horses would find' it herd ee stand in one of their fields let alene. to turn around in Uteri' They • are great people for. using -up 'everything. Some time. I will tell you. of . • the uses they have for bamboo. • riting4IMOR Melville Anderson of Windsor left on Tuesday week for Clinton after spending a few days with his parents here.

In the House of Commons on Fri- day last Mr. E. N.

Mr. Lewis ex- plained that his provision was inten- ded to stop the sale of cocaine and liquor in local option dietricts. A second section of the hill is in- tended to make it impossible for per- sons to mistake a hottle containing poison for any other bottle. The bill requires that poisons be sold in s.qualie or three -sided blue glass hot - ties having rough or corrugated 'corn- ers. Hensall N.

Women.s Institutes Of all the conventions held last week in Toronto none was more im- portant, no other indeed maned in importance, that made up of delegates from the various local WoMen's In- stitutes' which now pretty well cover rural Ontario. The convention' was important in point of numbers; it commanded at- tention, by the high level of the ad- dresses delivered thereat ; but its chief interest ley in the objeet behind it all. That object is the improve- ment of the home; and the home is the state. We may increase the returns of the field, the tree and the vine; we may improve the facilities for transport- ing these products to the rads of the earth ; we may widen the markets for our products. 13ut all will be in vain, if the tome is not night; and, as the visitor from North Carolina well said, the man never lived who can make a home. That is the work of the woman e and the women who came to Torontee last week from. the eon- CeSSioli lines of the Province showed that they are fully alive to the duty resting upon them. The Women's Institutee whieh are stimulating, encouraging and, direct- ing thee, work of improved home -mak- ing ere deserving of every poasinle etioottragement. Arid Supt.

Products There is an inherent tendency in mankind to go out after. the things that loom up big in the mind's eye. In doing this the more trivial thing which are as important in the long run are often passed by. The farmer shows it too in the conduct of his farm.

A lose of filtv hens by emus disease is not look. ed upon as of very great importance while a sick eow will claim his first attention. and he will put forth his very best effort to secure her recovery. Yet fifty hens, well eared for will yield alarger profit their one cow. Farmers somehow, do not seem to think so, and, the result is a large failing off in the eupply of poultry and eggs. indeed the situation in businees has become acute. Not only has this country given up ex- porting eggs, but does not produee enough to supply the home inarket. Thiesbould not be.

The CenacilartRecord The yearly tests for pure bred dairy cattle each year are becoming anore and More popular. Sence the first re- port of the Canadian Record of per-. formance for pure bred dairy rattle was issued in 1908 the work hail grown materially—All the animate the re- cords of which are publielied in Re- port No. 1 of the Recorrl of Prairem. ance were owned in Ontario and Que bee Now yearly testing is going on in all of the provinces eave Mitnitoba and Saskatchewan, although few have yet gnalified for registration in the outlying provinces A review of the second report of the Record of Per forance recently issued shows that Aryshire, Holstein, Freuch Oanadian and Jersey cows have quelified and their records Wive been registered. A nut -fiber Of G nerneeys are under test, but have not yet completed a year'is work. It augurs well hie the future of dairy ing in Canada that breeders of the, putt, bred dairy cattle are so mucb slive to the importance of yearly tests in the Record of Perrot mance. The buyer of pere bred dairy ctitale to -day asks for the record of production of the stock or of its ancestry. Those breeders who are in a position to.
