THURSDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1894. Week's Commercial &Unman,. There is a steady advance in the rates of sterling exchange at New York, and the probability is that gold, exports will be made before long. The total number of failures in the Dominion for the three mouths ending October 3rd, 1894, were 472 —the total assets amounting to $2,731,750, and lia- bilities to $3,634,308. Money continues cheap at all the lead- ing finanoial centres. A more active de - mend would result in better rates, and this is to be desired, as it would mean a revival of the industries. Some improvement is noted in the prices of Manitobawheat. It is stated. that there are large exports via New York. This is a superior kind of wheat, and will always be required by millers for mixing with the soft qualities. There are few features of importance to note in. the wholesale trade at Toronto this week. Dealers in dry goods, hard- ware and metals report a good business. .A. considerable number of orders are in for shipment of heavy goods before the close of lake navigation. Remittances are fair, although the movement of grain is slow owing chiefly to low prices. Tho retail trade is fair, being stimulated in a measure by the cold weather. The grape crop this year is enormous, and far exeeeds other seasons. On Pelee Island the growers cannot get rid of them, and 'what few are sold only bring half a cent a pound. It is said that Mr. J. S. Hamilton, the well-knovm wine manufacturer of Brantford, is not going to make wine this seasan, in consequence of being already overstocked, and the Pelee Islanders are puzzled to know what they are to do with their grapes. Wheat is weak and the movement com- paratively restricted. There is little en- couragement for holders, and the news generally is bearish. The average price of English wheat is down to 19s. a auarter, and no such record of cheapness, says the London Economist, has been made since the sixteenth century. The lowest weekly average recorded from 1816 to 1893, inclusive, 24s. Sd. for the week ended March 18, 1893, previous to which, within the period named, it was only -ander 28s., and that by a single penny. Damp and discolored wheat has sold as low as 14s. a quarter, but even dry foreign wheat is low beyond prece- dent. Argentine cargoes being offered at 19s., while a good standard wheat, such, as American red winter, may be bought at 21s. by the cargo. large and representative meeting of tanners of the Province of Ontario was held on the 9th inst. at the Board of Trade, Toronto. From the views ex- pressed by those present, and from others who could. not come, it appears that the leather trade is in a deplorably unsatis- factory condition. Hides have advanced in the American market from 40 to GO per cent., and the better grades of leather can only be made from these hides ; the local hides as a general thing being poor in quality. At the same time many tan- ners are selling at about old prices based uponthe low price of hides. Leather now being sold cannot be replaced atthe same figure and the tanners naturally are compelled to raise their prices. They are unanimous in their determination to do this or hold their stock. Leather has been so low that even at the very low price of hides tanners have lost money the past year, and many of them have left the business. It will be disastrous for them to keep on selling cheap leather and buying clear hides, and they have de- cid.ed to take immediate action to remedy this state of affairs by advancing the prices in accordance with the increased cost of production. Here and There. China is out of money with which to prosecute the war. The Emperor and Empress will have to take in washing if the present state of affairs continues, xxx The Emperor of Germany has added to his list of accomplishments that of writ- ing poetry. He has written the words and music of a "Song to Aegir," an in- vocation to an old Norse god of the sea by an invading army on. the point of landing and meeting the enemy. xxx The Journal of Commerce states that the fire loss in the United States and Canada for September was $10,149,000, as compared with 810,508.700 for Septem- ber, 1893. The total loss for the first nine months of 1894 was $97,000,000, and for the corresponding period of 1893 it was $121,000,000. xxx The Spectator says : With grapes so plentiful and cheap in the Niagara dis- trict that it hardly pays to fetch them to market, the feasibility of establishing a market in England for Canadian fruits seems plain. Grapes now sell in England at a shilling a pound, and Niagara grapes could be put fresh into the English mar- ket if transported under a proper cold storage service. xxx The Col. Cook, which thirty-four years ago sent the Lady Elgin to the bottom of Lake Mieigan, has gone to pieces. After that awful tragedy of the lakes her old name, the Augusta, was painted off, and when she was re-itted she was named the Col, Cook. Her luck b.owever, did not change. She was a bill of expense to her owners, and her record has been a series of disasters, and the other day she went to pieces near Lorain, and the frag- ments are scattered along the shore of Lake Erie. X X X Cardinal Gibbons preached a sermon last Sunday in which he said: "It is true woman does not to -day exereise the right of suffrage. She cannot vote and. I ant heartily glad of it. I hope +he day will never come when she can, vote, and if the right is granted her I hope she will re- gret it, even though there are some mis- guided women who think they -want it. Rest assured, if woman entered politics she would be sure to carry' away with her some of the rand and dirt of political contaet, She, too, would lose some of the influence whieh she now exerts. The proper sphere for Woman is home, the proper place for her to reign is in the home oirele, xxx Life becomes daily more Uncertain. A few days ago, says The RemiAori Times, a 14= who happened to lay his luaad on an iron fence in New York was instantly killed, by a "wild" electric eurrent. IL policeman who leaned against a trolley pole got an instant disehatge from his earthly beat, Tbe other day in New York a span of horses were killed by. a "mild" eurrent from a wire from which the insulation had been rubbed against an eavetrough, permitting -the eleetriaity to reach an underground pipe, The pipe passed through wet soil, and the instant the horses stepped on it both were killed. If this thing is eoing to continue the in- sulated man w& become a necessity. N: x x , • aL contemporary gives an interview with a western lumberman whosays that the loss from the recent fires is not so heavy as has been suppcisea, "Fire," be says, 'does not burn the' body of a pine tree; it Only burns Off the bark and foliage. The trunk of the burned tree is as good as ever it was, with this Gawp - tiara The tree, after it is burned,. must be cut the succeeding winter, else Mawill become storm -eaten and, worthless." He even maintains that the fire is a blessing to labor. "Every owner of burned pine stumpage must go to work this coning winter and. cut every foot of it, and many of these owners are forced to out perhaps hundreds of inillioas of feet of stumpage they would net otherwise have cut for years to come. They are forced to employ immense Crews of men they would not otherwise have haduse for." xxx In a note to Mts. A. O. Rutherford Miss Willard says: "Will you please Centre - diet the two latest misstatements, whets are that I have left the prohibition party and that 1 recently drank wine at Chau- tauqua. Both axe as false as a gambler's word or a drunkard's joy. 'While it is true that I warmly sympathize with the labor movement, and have done so from the beginning, my efforts have always been to aid in bringing about a better understanding between the two new pea ideal movements, which have so much in common that I hope yet to see there more closely united in their work. As to the second -witless invention, namely, about Chautauqua, these are the facts: A teetotal doctor of divinity gave Lady Henry Somerset and me each a specimen bottle of grape juice—unfermented wine, as strictly non-alcoholic as so much lem- onade would :have been—Whichava5 tested at a table where we were seated with other White Ribbon. friends. That is all there is in it and I feel size that my comrades will procure the insertion of this brief statement in the heal papers of the various coranntaities." xat x A—naan, who IS probably a greater lover of the mosquito than mostpeople are, has discovered some interesting facts about that Insect He says that the mosquito's bill contains six separate surgical instru- ments. Two of these instruments are said to be exact counterparts of a sur- geon's lance; one is a spear with a double -barbed. head ; another is a needle of exquisiteness fineness. A saw and a pump go to make up this wonderful complement of tools. The spear is the largest of the six and is used in making the initial puncture • next the lances are brought into play, work causing the blood to flow more frely. In case this last operation fails of having the de- sired effect, the saw and. the needle are carefullyinserted. in a lateral direction. in the aicthn's flesh. The pimp, the most delicate instrument of the entire set, is used in transferring the laood to the insect. It might be a good idea for people to remember these facts when mosquitos again put in an appearance, though the fact that the biting is done on a scientific basis probably wouldn't Damen the pain. Dominion Franchise. To be entitled to vote inDominion elec- tions a voter must be : 1 British subject twelve months in Canada. 2 Twenty-one years of age, and 3 Have one of the following qualifica- tions: (a) Have been an occupant in the con- stituency for twelve months. (b) Have owned for twelve months real estate value - 8300 in cities. 8200 in towns. 8150 elsewhere. (e) Earn 8300 a year. (d) Be a farmer,s or owner's son. There are some other qualifications for uncommon cases. No time limit of residence is required for an "income voter." An -occupant or owner for less than twelve months can, if so entitled, claim under the income qualification. The "1 Will" Girl. I do not like the young woman who stands as the emblem of Chicago's push and, enterprise. I do not like coarse wo- men, and the "I Will" girl is coarse— there is no denying that. What would I have? Well, it is hard to say. I fancy clinging, gentle, nestling women, my- self; but, of coursei one of that sort wouldn't be emblematic of anything but a fashionable and exclusive residence suburb. But the "I Will" girl! Shades of the postal Fancy, if you can, the "I Will" girl nestling or being petted! No, she'd hardly do for that 1Vlaybe, all things considered, she's the right girl in the right place, but—well, she makes me feel humble and henpecked, as those cap- able -looking Amazons will, and I feel certain she must have a sharp tongue and a villainous temper. Moreover, isn't she, with a declaration on her breast- plate, violating the traditions ? it is claimed that a woman's "won't" means "will," and the reverse case should hold good, should it not? Therefore, the "I Will" girl is altogether unfeminine, and so disqtalified to pose in her present capaeity. New Proverbs. Soft soap helps to make hard. times.

This may not be new, but it was new to the reporter who overheard it on Sun- day, so it is ,likely that there are others who have never heard it. The young man who told it wasevidently a collegian, as was his companion. "I heard. a good one on Prof. --, of Andover," he said. "What was it?" queried the other. "Well, you know he was married dur- ing the winter and went to housekeeping just outside the village. This spring he thought he would add. a few hens to his stook; he already had a dog. He set a couple of the hens and in time had two large broods of chickens. He was very proud of them, hut in a week or so the clicks began to die. He called in a neigh- bor to look at the chickens and offer ad- vice. They were certainly,a pietty scaly lot of chickens that the neighbor viewed. They were skinny looking and apparently without ambition. What do you feed them?' asked the neighbor, after a brief survey. 'Aiwa them;?' responded the professor, as though he didn't hear aright. 'Why, I don't feed. them anything. I thought the old hens had milk enough for them,' " An exchange says: "The royal insti- tute for fruit and vine eulture at Gelsett- heim, Gormally, has experimented suc- cessfully in the use of copperas as a stimulant for plants that lack green color in their leaves.

Many an injury is received in the pasture that, unless treated at once, destroys the usefulness of the animal. A good poultryman never needs any medicine for his poultry. He knows that prevention. is better than cure, be- cause a sick fowl is very troublesome. Ho keeps disease from his chickens by feed- ing sound, wholesome food. Keeping the pens and roosts clean and free from ver- min, giving the chicks sunlight and plenty of fresh air. One of the facts proved at the dairy tests made at the Cohmbus Exposition was that the cows were very susceptible to sudden changes of temperature from warm to cold, On such a change, es- pecially if windy, there would be a great falling off in the amount of butter made, and even when there was but little,. if any, shrinkage in the amount of milk produced. The fat was burned up in the body to keep up the heat of the system. Most of us have been sure of this long ago, although we might mkt have been able to prove it by exact figures. FATTENING DUCKS. A poultry expert says that he has found that ducks should be made fat enough to kill and market at eight weeks old. It is cheaper to make flesh at that age than to make it more slowly. They are vor- acious eaters under any conditions, but, like other stock, the profit is on what they can be induced to eat more than they need for keeping alive and making a slow growth. Push them along as fast as possible, and feed several times a day until a month old, when three or four times should be enough, but do not give more than they will eat with a good ap- petite and allow no sour food to lie about or to be loft to mix with the next feed- ing. Another reason for placing the birds in the market at eight weeks old is that S0011 after that they begin to shed their feathers, when the new feathers begin to strike through and the birds not only look ragged when dressed but fail to make a growth as they have done. A few birds may not shed until ten or twelve weeks old, but to be on the safe side kill now and dress before the tenth week. The birds intended for breeding stock should not be fed so heavily, and the food sho"ld be more calculated to make growth of frame than put on flesh, and. they should, if convenient, be allow- ed to forage in the grass, and even in the pond where the market ducklings should never go.. Always keep the houses well supplied with clean beddmg. The extra value of the feathers will pay for that once, and. the better health of the fowl will pay for it several times over. Ducks need clean gravel to keep their digestive organs in good order as much as other fowl. FARM NOTES. Most so-called farming is simply rob- bing the soil. The farmer has heretofore scattered his energies over too large a surface. • A. moment's work at the latch or catch will make the slamming of a door un- necessary, without turning the knob or lifting the latch. We observe that those who sneer at in- tensive cultivation, extra heavy manur- ing, etc., are the men who have never at- tempted to practice them. A trial of these methods is very apt to give some respect for them. Suppose you make an experiment in. this direction next sea- son. .A. man should not condemn a thing until he has at least given it a trial. Many farmers have learned. that the superiority of peas to corn for feeding hogs make them a profitable grain to grow. They talcs little labor, as the hogs will, if need be, do the harvesting. They enrich the soil, and if the stubble can be cleared so as not to be plowed under, they make an excellent prepara- tion for winter wheat; but if weeds and pea tops are plowed. under they make the land too light, causing it to fall with water in. winter and thus kill the grain. .A. New Zealand farmer tried sowing brimstone on a patch of Canada thistles, and he reports that it oompletely destroy- ed them. He sowed it thickly enough to destroy all vegetable life for two years, but after that the soil was as productive as ever 'and he had rid the land of the thistles. There are other much less ex-' pensive ways to destroy Canada thistles than this. Letting them get into blos- som and then plowing them under deep- ly, so as to cover the growth of tops, with little breaking of the roots, will de- stroy them. If any appear from roots that are not attached to the stalks, culti- vation during the summer, so that none are allowed above the surface, will make a finish of them. • It is often the complaint that ordinary farming does not pay. It is probably always true. The ordinary kindof farm- ing is that which the farmer attempts to grow crops with the least labor. He does not usually succeed in saving a great deal of work, for weeds and insects have to be fought first or last to save the crop. What he does is usually to delay the work until nearly all the injury possible has been done. Then, with the crop half or more ruined, the work that has to be done does little good, and of course it does not pay. Thorough work from the first costs some- what more, but it pays when the crop comes to be harvested. The mistake of the poor farmer is most often seen in his attempts to grow the -crops that cost least labor. It is such crops that never pay very largely, because there are too many farmers in that kind of competition. It is true in farming as it is in every other kind of business, that the (Mtrxi work, which is more than most will attempt, pays the best. We are told on the highest authority that life "is more than, meat and the body is more than raiment." The terrestrial end of all effort must be the cultivated man and. •wonkaa. This end comes not by a fiat of the wall; it is rather a growth, and is successful in ratio to the stimulus given either to our ancestors of to our- selves. The eolulitions that environ one are bias stimuli that awaken growth that ends in cultivated inanhootl. and woman- hood.
