NOTES AND COMMENTS
Middlesex and London well probably
establish a sanitarium for the treat-
ment of consumptives. The crusade
against the white plague was initiated
at a ineeeing in London last week.
The city doctors, the leading men of
the city and a number of comity come-
cillors were present. Dr. Bryce, of
the Provincial Board of Health, gave
an address.
The Proviuciel Secretary is add to
conitemplate the appointment of
liquor license inspectois from year to
year, instead of an indefinite period as
is the ease at present. The license
commissioners thro ugh° at the province
are chosen annually, and it is thought
the application of 'Ube same method of
• appointment of license inspectors
• woula permit of the choice ot more
efficient officers and. give a better en-
' foreement of the law.

A Great Newspaper Building.
The Xontreal nevespapers are pay-
ing high compliments to the Family
Herald ane Weekly Star on the occas-
ion of the latter paper moving ieto its
magnificent new building, just com-
pleted, after being two years in con-
struction. The new banding a the
Family Herald and Weekly Star is one
of the sights of Montreal. Architects
say it is one of the finest, if not the
very finest, newspaper building in the
world, there being nothing in New
York or London or any of the great
eities to equal it. The blandly Herald's
new building cost half a million dollars.
The NS -11010 $125,000 WO1111. of Binder
Twine has been subscribed. „There
are 4,710 stock -holders, reost of whom
are farmers. Between eighty and
ninety per cent. of the stook is held
by the farmers, and if •they have tact
eriough .ittal t-eeether they can 0011
trol the factory. The worle of build-
'ing has been pus -lied vigorously and.
good progress is being made. A se-
cond call of 10 pee cent, on subeceibers
has been macle.
e
A noteworthy feature of the voting
in GC:dm:tell on the 7th •of Nevember
last was perhaps not paralleled any-
where in Cauada. Voters of the same
family in four generations went to the
polls and cast their ballots. William
Shaman, who is in his 91th year; his
son Edward Sharman; his grandson,
• 'William Sharman, jun., and his great-
grandson, Reginald Sharman, who
voted for the first time, were the rep-
resentatives of the four generations.
Mr. Sharman, the eldest, is still in the
enjoyment of fairly good health.

The time has come for the govern-
ment to intervene in the matter of
.
teachers' salaries. The goveruinent
should establish a maximufl1 and. min-
imum salary for teachers according
to some definite scale:of attendance
and grade of work taught. It is time
that the matter should be removed
from the halide of esmall-hearted tres-
tees, who go about with a self-satis-
fied smirk and a righteous feeling if
they engage a teacher to work for $180
per annum, and find board out of its
munificence. As long as matters re-
main as at present such trustees and
young teachers who possess no self-
valuationawill combine to keep salar-
ies down to genteel starvation figures.

PREDICTS A. RISE IN BEEF.
W. Wilson, U.S. Secretary of Agri-
culture predicts that beef will go still
t„ higher, .Ele,seees thatethe grazing areas
of the Western States are being ex-
hausted at an alarming raee,-, that the
population of the United State is
creasing rapidly, while the snppinf
beef is steadily decreasing; that the
consumption of beef is growing larger
every year, and that unless new graz-
ing lands are opened up or some means
found to check the ,present reckless
destruction of Westeringrazing
the beef market must be permanently
affected. This is a timely cover for the
beef combine, which is responsible for
the raise. Secretary Wilson fails to
to explain how grazing lands affect
pork which has also gone up.
The West Huron Appeal.
Toronto, Nov. 30.—The Court of Ap-
peal, consisting of Chief Justice Artn-
our, and Justices MacLennan, McMa-
hon, Moss and Lister, is to -day hearing
the appeal ot Hobe Mr. Garrow against
the deeision depriving him of his seat
in WestHuron on the ground of cor-
ruption by agents.
,•• Mr. 'Watson, Q.C., in opening the
case said that obtlae 52 charges of im-
proper acts 44 were disnaissecl and 8
were 'found to be proven. Bribery was
ec. found to have been committed by
"Capt.' Sullivan and two other men
;nemedLinklater and Vanstone, but
, only the last mentioned was found to
„ have been an agent. Against the rul-
ing that Vanstone was an agent, Mr.
Garrow appealed, holdingethat he was
not responsible for Vanstone. Mr.
Garrow haa made a special appeal for
a pure election, and did eyerything he
could. to secure it,
The Chief Justice—"The candidate
was very anxious to have a 'pure elec-
tion, but after he is elected he is very
anxious to hold on to the election al-
though it was impure." _
Mr. Watson—"No, mW
y Lord. e
are here to show that this election was
reasonably pure and honest, and that
Mr. Garrow was elected by a majority
of the electors who polled their votes,
Counsel then went into a review of the
case and of the actions of Sullivan,
Vanstone and others. Vanstonesought
as a witness, did not appear.
The Chief- •Justice—"If I, had been
trying the ease I would have adjourn-
ed the trial from time to time until the
witnesses did appear, even carrying
the adjenrnmetit over till next Parli-
raent if necessary. '1 did this in the
Cornwall ease, and the witnesses were
all on hand at the next hearing."

To Farmers.
Hay and Tuckersuaith was certified
Mr. G. C. Creelman, Superiiitendent
of Farmers iustitutes, has just coin-
.
pleted arrangements for theholding of
over. 700 Meetings iluriue the coining,
months of December, anuaryi and
Februaey. All the delegates who have
been appointed to address the various
institute meetings are practical men
who have studied closely the subjects
they are advettised to discuss.
Besides the regelar apples there are
three special subjects that will receive
a,ttention this winter and the follow-
ing instructione have, been issued to
the delegates by the Superintendent
:—
"Last winter, at the result of the
Prov. Minister of Agricelture, the
"Bacon Hoe" was discussed at all of
our •meetings. The wisdom of this
couese is already manifestiogeitself. A
better class of hogs are being offered
for sale this fall than ever before. The
Registrar of Live Stock for the Prov-
ince states that for OM first time the
bacon breeds lead in the nuteibers of
thoroughbred animals registered and
we are receivingenquiries from all
parts of the Province 111 referenCe th
the breeding, feeding and,finishing of
this class of animals. it is likely.,
therefore, that this subject will come
up for discussion again at many.of our
meetings this winter. e Our duty-, does
not lie along the line of advising.farm-
ers to take up laogiraising as a business
but rather to assist those who are al
ready- pork proclucere to raise and put
-an the market a better article than
they ewe done heretofore. We have
not a home-ruaeleet now for thick fat
pork and we cannot successfully com-
pete with the Americans in,their mar-
ket so long as they have cheap corn
with which to feed their hogs, , Bacon,
therefore, must be our principal pro-
duct and the kindly reception which
oar Canadian "Wiltshire sides" have
been accorded on the British market is
sufficient to justify us in recommend-
ing the fa,rrhers to breed to the bacon
type. Much has already been done by
our progressive swine breeders to im-
prove the bacon classes and it was a
noticeable feature at our fall faire this
year that in all classes 'of hogs there
were longer individual animals and the
judges gave the highest premiums to
those enhaials that showed the least
indication of carrying superfluous fat.
The subject for Cold. Stoilege for
farm products will be discussed at our
meetings this winter. You must be
prepared, to discuss this question. New
laws have been passed in Ontario re-
lating to this subject and. these yeti
should familiarize yourself with. I
have already sent you the latest pub-
lished information on the sulaject and
you will please study the principles in-
volved and tbeemethod and cost of con-
struction of such n plant as would be
practicable for the average Canadian
farmer. -When we assemble in Guelph
at the time of the Experimental Union
and the Provincial Winter Fair, it is
expected that an expert will be there
to address you on this topic and we
hope also to have a cold storage plant
there at tb.a,t time for practical demon-
stration.
Another industry that is deserving
of more attention than it receives, and
which the Hon. Minister of Agricul-
ture is anxious to promote, is that of
poultry raising and fattening for the
home and foreign markets. I an ar-
ranging for a series of special poultry
meetings in connection with our regu-
lar and eupplernentary meetings, but
the,number of farmers who will attend
these district meetings must of neces-
sity be limited and I request that you
acquaint yourself -with what has been
done and is being done in this country
to promote this industry. Special in-
struttion on poultry matters will also
he furnished at the Winter Fair and
Yea will there obtain practical hints
and information that should be useful
to you in your winter meetings."
