An interesting document is the an- nual report of the penitentiary at King- ston just pnblished. It shows that among its inmates are 48 persons sent up for life, of whom two are females. The total number of inmates is 516, in- cluding 11 women. The nationalities of the prisoners are: Canadians, 305; England, 55; Wales, 2; Scotland, 11; Ireland, 22; Franee, 6; Sweden, 1; United States, 5; Italy, 34; Austria, 10; India, I; Germany, 5; Rus- sia, 7; Turkey, 1; Denmark, 1; Auetra- 1* a, 2; Greece, 1; Newfoundland, le "Toronto the good" contributes the largest nnmber of inmates, 90 having been sent from there, which is more than any other two counties. Six pris- oners are over 70 years of age, while 28 are under 20 years of age. Classified according to habits, 184 are very temperate, 118 are total abstain- ers and 206 intemperate. This portion of the return is regarded as remarkable in the light of the oft -repeated state- ment that drink is the cause of so much crime. In the list of occupations nearly every trade and profession is repres- ented, there being even a newspaper reporter. There are 62 farmers, 21 clerks, 21 teamsters:181 laborers, and 16 cooks.

Farmers! Have you a field on your ;clime that is too "wet, cold and sour"? Drainage will reclaim it and make it one of the best fields on the farm. Drainage does four things. First it removes the surplus water and makes t possible to cultivate and seed about thr2e weeks earlier in the spring than I on the same and when undrained. Secondly it makes the latd from ten to fifteen degrees warmer than if not drained, and this warmth germinates the seed properly and gives a good stand of Vain. Thirdly, it lets plenty of air down to the roots of the plants, which is necessary for satisfactory growth. Fourthly, it makes the land more porous, and this in turn causes the soil to store up more water for the use of the crops in tiro of drougth. Prequently the increase of crop in one year pays for the drainage, and seldom or never does it take longer than three years, se that drainage pays from 86 per cent to 100 per cent. per annum on the tnoney invested. Have you ditHcalties in drainage? The Department of Physio of the On- tnrio Agricultural Calege will assist you on applietttion. They will make you a complete Survey of the area to be drain- ed, Or run a single line of drain, and when done furnish you with a finished map shOwitig locatiOn of drains, grades, sizes of tile, ete.--a detailed guide for the thorough drainage of the land in question.

At the present t fme possibly no otl e subject is receiving quite as much at- tention in Canada as this one. It will be a surprise to most readers to krour that during the fiscal year wialeb end el. March.31, 1918, Canada paid $11,-)91, 01 in duty on food, and all of this large sum is virtually a direct tax on the con- sumer. In glancing over the list it is easy to understand that the buying public are themse'ves largely toblarne in many instance.% for there are articles of food produeed in Canada that are equal in every respect to those made in any country in the world. In the baking powder line alone there were 667,904 lbs, imported into Canada, and this means the consumer paid in duty the enormous sum of $67,000. Tse -e st-e no b atter gmds in the world in this line than magic baking powder, and it is made in a model sanitary up- to-date factory, and ean be procured in any first (lass store at one-half the price the inn orted article sells for. Such articles as raisins, currants, and n a ty other things, which do not grow in Canada, or are not produced here, have of necessity to be imported, and the duty paid. If tee chnsemer would devote a little thought and attention to this sobject a large amount of money could aud would be saved. -Canadian Hon a Sournal.
