CENSUS ECHOES,
Nearly three millions of dollars spent
1ipou immigration in the past ten years,.
with the result that we have added
nothing to the country's population by
immigration, and failed to retain the
natural increase.
Quebec West, Mr, McGreevy's stump -
mg ground, declined in population from
1.2,698 to. 9,241 between. 1881 and 1891,
while Quebec East, represented by Mr.
Laurier,, increased is population from
32,900 to 36,200, It is the Liberals who
stay in the •country and help to build it
up,
Among the Ontario towns and villages
which have declined in population during
the past ten years are St. Catharines,
Port Hope, Picton, Cobourg, Ingersoll,
Dundas, Napanee, Bowmanville, Strath-
roy, Paris, Whitby, Kincardine, L- istowel:
Thorold', Mitchell, Gederich, Dunnville,
Port Perry, Harriston, Prescott mud Fer-
gus. The people of these towns were
promised great prosperity, immense fac-
tories and vast progress as a result of
the trade restriction policy, The census
returns show how these promises have
been fulfilled.
If M1~, Foster is ever called upon to
deliver another budget speech he can
matte the census returns of 1891 his
theme. His own province, New Bruns-
wick, has fallen so far behind in the race
that it will lose two of its repreeentatives
in the House of Commons. The princi-
pal city in New Erunswiok has declined
in population from 26,189 to 24,184. In
Mr. F'oster's constituency the population
has decliued from 25,917 to 23,094. The
Finance Minister can talk for hours upon
what trade restriction has done for New
Brunswick. It is fitting that the policy
introduced by Sir Leonard Tilley and
continued by Mr. Foster should show its
blighting effects clearly upon the prov-
ince which sent those men to Parliament.

The Blue Sky.
WAYS IN WHICH THE CHANGING TINTS
OF THE FIRMAMENT ARE PRODUCED.
Everyone admires and talks ofthe
blue of the sky, but how many have
observed notoniy that the sky is some-
times of a deeper or richer blue' than
at other times, but that its changes of
tint occur in a more or less regular
way.
Such is the conclusion of -M. Crova, 1
who has reported to the Paris Academy
of Sciences the result of his !system -
ads observation of sky color from
December, 1889, till December, 1890.
-He finds that the sky is most in-
tensely blue in Daember, January,
March and September, and paler in
July, August and November. Observ-
ing; the chanes from hour to hour he
found that it was more deeply blue
in the morning than during the heat
of midday. This indicates that, since
the deepest color is seen, generally
speaking, in the. coldest- months and
during the cooler part of the elay,'heat
is an important element in determin-
ing the depth of the. sky color.
This recalls one of the most brilliant
of the many experiments with which
Professor Tyndall used to illustrate'
his lectures. By projecting a beam of
electric light into a cloud of invisible
particles of vapor in a glass vessel he
was able to imitate the finest azure
tints of an Italian sky.
The point* of the experiment was to
show that the sky tint is caused by the
reflection of the blue waves of light
from minute particles floating high in
the air. The waves of blue light are
shorter than those of yellow or red,
and consequently are more easily ar-
rested and reflected back.
When the sun is blazing hot high in
the lteavens it dissolves the fine partik
cies of vapor to a great extent and
leaves fewer of them to split ilp the
scattered daylight and send its soon
blue beams 'back to the observer's eyes.
It will be easy and interesting fin-
any
orany person to observe for himself the
variations in the colon of the sky,
Perhaps new facts niay thus be disc
covered that men of scieWte will be
glad to learn.

but he was not there. Then he stum-

stood open and there was Marvell
writing. Marvell said he was afraid
he had lost his way. They tallied
about the weather and all sorts of
things, By and bye the treasurer had
to go, and then he told Marvell how
delighted the King was with him and
quite accidentally dropped a £1000

knew what it meant. He rang the

The True Way to Pay for Mills.
Prof, Bell, of the Tavistock Dairy
School, holds that -the per cent ,of fat
in milk measures its value for cheese
'making. When asked what he thought
of buying milk according to its butter
quality he replied : •
There is not the slightest difficulty
now in doing so, and the system ought
to be adopted everywhere. Dr. Bab -
cock's invention has 'supplied a sitnple
and.accurate test to determine the ex-
act amount of butterfat in milk. It
is according to this percentage that
factories should pay in the future.
The National Scotsman says : Many
creameries and cheese factories have
introduced the milk tester, and its
regular use is productive' of good re.
Sults. to the first place each patron
gets paid according to the value of his
milk, the tester showing the per cent
of the butter fat in it. Thus the roan
who takes milk above the average in
quality to the creamery gets paid more
for it per hundred pounds than the
man who takes milk of only average
quality. The next good point lthe
tester can be credited with is the fact
that the man who keeps poor cows or
feeds too lightly or feeds the wrong
kind of feed, finds that he is getting
too little for his milk, and he must
either get better or else quit the busi-
ness. And the careless, though honest
man who, heretofore, has been carry-
ing poor milk to the creamery and
virtually living; on his neighbors who
carried good milk, now finds that all
milk is not of the same quality and he
is forced to recognize the fact that it
will only pay to send milk that will
test up to a certain standard. We
think that one indirect result of the
general use of milk testers will be great
demand for Cows ;;of the improved
dairy breeds, dairymen. finding that it
will only pay to keep the very best
cows. All patrons of the creameries
and ,cheese factories sh.uld insist on
having tnilk testers used and the unjust
way of paying for milk by weight alolxe
be abolished.

The Galt Reformer says : Owing t
the operation of the Melfiniey Bill,th
price of eggs is considerably lower ii
Canada this year than usual. In con
versation with a large buyer an
Shipper, we learn that the ruling pric
at present is 9 to 10 cents, while Ias
year at this time they were paying frog
13 to 14 cents. The American niarke
is now practically closed to Canadial
shippers, as they cannot send egg
there so as to realize any profit.
The St. Thomas Journal gives th
following advice : Inspired by the grea
crops and the prospects of fair prices,
the farmers in this country are pre
paring to sow an unusually larg
acreage of wheat this fall. *The wis•
dom of this course is doubtful. Too
many eggs in one basket areand ger.
one, and if farmers all over the province
rush into wheat raising simply because
this year has been a fat one, the res
suits may prove disastrous both to the
growers and the rest of the community
if next season should pro 'e a poor one
for wheat. The province is admirably
adapted' to mixed farming, and it is
.safe from the ups and downs of single
crop countries as long as a due<>totation
of crops is observed, and too 'much
attention is not directed to any one
branch of agriculture.
