The whole, tendency of the times needs to be changed before we can expect many of those who grad- uate from our colleges to take up life on the farm. Reserving Non -Agricultural Land. (From Coneervation.) The Minnesota State Forestry asso- ciation is agitating for amendment to the state constitution, to provide for the retention as forest reserves of 911 state lands found upon examination to be unsuitable for agricultural purposes. At present such lands may be filed up- on under the guise of homesteads, but, after the removal of the timber—and .41.1111.&1131.1r..1.1211•1•1114•••••••••11111• INNSC=eat possibly an attempt at farming, foredoomed to failure—the lands are abandoned, usually in a completely de- nuded and burned -over condition, and revert to the state. A much better pollee, would unquestionably be to re- strict agricultural settlement on lands clearly suitable for that purpose, and retain the non-agricultural lands for permanent forest production. The sante problem arises in many parts of Canada, in a similar way. Pre- viously there was no direction of agri- cultural settlement, and, as a result, much non-agricultural timber land was taken up under the homestead laws. This tendency was particulaaly strong at the time limbering operations were being carried on. At that time the homesteader was able to find winter work in the woods, as well as an ex- cellent market for the agricultural pro- duce that could be raised dtiriug tne few years that elapsed before the sur- face fertility of the soil, derived from the decayed mould from fallen leaves and branches, was exhausted. . In very many cases, settlers have been stranded on these poor lands, and lieve become so impoverished that they are wholly unable to move away and settle on lands more suitable for farm- ing. More recently, the provincial governments have made attempts at directing settlement, but the pressure for the opening up of timber lands has been strong and arguments that the lands are suitable for agriculture have been so strongly urged that the attempts to withhold lands essentially non-agri- cultural have in many cases been unsuc- cessful. A workman's compensation law was enacted at the recent session of the legislature in Iowa. The widow's pen- sion law is also to become effective in that State.

Imports will show a decease of some- thing over $30,000,600, while exports will, it is expected, ehow an increase of nearly 804,000,000. Although the total trade for the year will show a sub- stantial increase, this increase is almost 'entirely due to the first halt of the year, and does net compare favorably with an increase of trade amounting to aver $210,e1/0,000 during 1912-1913, as com- pared with 1911-1912. During the last tew months of the present fiscal year three has been a very marked falling -o11 both in imports and exports. Figures for February showed a decrease of $14,401,754, or over 25 per cent. in imports, as com- pared with February of last year, while exports decreased $2,304,080, or about 10 per cent. The March figures are not expected to show much improvement,. and the total trade for tlah month will probably be some $15,000,000 behind the trade of the preceding March. The customs revenue for the year will show a decrease of approximately $9,- 000,000, as compared with the preceding fiscal year. A Weakness in Finance. (St. Marys Argus.) Many people act as if by the system of debentures we have bit upon a scheme by means of which we can postpone in- definitely the payment for public im- provements of all kinds. They act as if we could, by a deft manipulation of home and debentures, put in sewers, pave streets, lay sidewalks, make our town as light by night as it is by day, and yet pay but little for them. They N ALUM ILk7EAD LABEL 0BAKINO.IINDflt..1 forget that debentures, bonds, coupons, have a very disconcerting way of corn- ing home to roost. It is all well enough to spread the payment of public im- provements which will last for a gener- ation or more, over a term of years, but this admirable and just system can be &stria And abuseCt it is really the weakness, and a fatal weakness it is, in our presentday of finance. We must remember this in our own talk about Federal and Provincial financial aid for "Radials." Federal and Provincial fin- ancial aid is in the last analyeis ourown financial aid, unless these favours are not being fairly distributed, in that case one part of the Dominion is being made to pay for another part, . We are afraid that the motive behind much of this enthusiasm arises from the hope that in the double shift some of us may draw a bigger prize than others. Rev- enue, whether it comes from direct or indirect taxation, comes out of the pockets of the people. American Farmers Settling in Ontario. Eighty farmers who last year carne in with their families from the United States to Essex county, brought with them close on to $400,000. They came from Indiana, Ohio, Michigan and Illin- ois, and all were thoroughly experi- enced in the farming industry. One man possessed $50,000. Another, who owned go,000, was accompanied by his twelve big sons. The rush of farmers and market gardeners to Essex and Kent counties in 1013 is anticipated to be repeated in 1014 in the county of Elgin. The inducement is cheaper farm land.

Five acre lots, suitable and adapted particularly for vegetable and market gardening, are being tilled and made ready for the small farmer to plant his. first crop, at Dutton, in Elgin county, where a Toronto company has purchns- ed two thousand eves of land, divided to allow three hundred families to make their homes. These lands are eminently suitable far the growing of potatoes, tomatoes, onion and celery. The healthiness of the open life and the satisfaction of seeing good results are not the only re- i compense. There are good financial re- turns iM be secured from market gard- ening. Babies And Colors, The theory that colors affect growth in some way or another has been the cause of some interesting resent exper- iments. Why, for instance, should babies as a rule prefer one bright color to another, a light better than a dark? That this is so, anyone can prove by of- fering a baby a sot of ribbons, watching carefully to see which of all the colors held at the same distance the small child will stretch out a hand to grasp. A scientist who is making experiments just now has, says the London Evening Standard, discovered that most babies have a curious liking for yellow. Yell- ow is much more fascinating, it seems, than either red or pink, which, with a glistening pure white, comes next in order of merit. It is not difficult to un- deratand why babies fail to be attracted by dull violet. It is, however, remark- able that in the experiments alluded to it Was found that green and blue were also less interesting than yellow or white, and black and brown clioeen in prefer- ence. Blue, in fact, was given the cold shoulder until all the other colors had been selected. And yet blue ribbons are with fatal determination chosen by and nurses for all babies' wear. Acc- ording to scientific theories, it may be taken for granted that the baby is no fool and therefore there is a reason be- hind his selection. He chooses the color which acts, as the most powerful natural stimulant to growth. The easier it is to reform a man the less it amounts to. . 4111, PG ; • e, 6 ;‘) OLLAti',A s'j'a '‘V't.iW11/U k ifZET raa.

(Pall Mall Gazette.) The scene was a Lancashire railway station, the actors a newspaper boy on the platform and two young Scotch soldiers en route for Liverpool. The soldiers were leaning out of the win- dow conducting an animated football conversation with the paperboy. One gathered that the local club which en- joyed tne support of the paper boy had recently defeated the Scotch club sup- ported by the soldiers, and young Lan- cashire was "rubbing it in." "Warrabout three goals to nowt?" he cried, derisively, backing away with a triumphant grin, and for the moment they were without a convenient reply. Then one of the Scotties jerked his head up. "Heigh, kid!" he cried. "What?" said the other contemptu- ously. "Three goals to nowt! Eh, ecky!" and he turned to walk away. The Scotch youth put his head through the window and used his lungs. "What about Bannockburn?" The smile on his face as resumed his seat suggested thathe felt satisfied. Probably he was in error in supposing that an English lad would know as much history as a Scotch one. It is more than likely that they left the Lancashire boy wondering what League Bannock- burn plays in.
