NOTES ANL) COMMENTS The bill of the Independent Foresters to authorize the order to increase the policies they are allowed to issue from $3,000 to $5,000, has been withdrawn for the session. The bill ought to be withdrawn for good. No fraternal so- ciety should be permitted to insure any one life for more than $3,000 at the outside. x x The exports of Canadian lobsters, which amounted to only $1,000,000 in 1890, were valued at $2,100,000 in 1894, and the total expott of the products of the Canadian fisheries increased from $8,160,000 to $10,322,000 in the same period. Our fishing industry appears to be making satisfactory progress. x x x The Irish Dairy Farmers association is arranging for a visitof its members to Canada. This is at once a tribute to Canada's position as a daArycountry and apromiseof probable livelier competition for Canadian factorymen in the British market, The Irishmen are coming out to learn, and because they know they can learn, and are quite likely to learn. x x x ThePioneer Press, of St. Paul ex- pects the demand of the Minnesota and Dakota harvest to afford early employ- ment to the workless people in its locality. Though:there are a good:many increases of wages being announced in connection with U. S. industries the demand for labor theyemploy does not seem equal the supply. It was in the West the crisis began, and it looks as if the West would also be the last to get quit of it. x x x • Canadians imported nearly two and three.quarter million dollars worth of fruit in 1894. Included in this total was clots on $850,000 for oranges, half a million for bananas, $326,000 for raisins, nearly $200,000 for nuts, $162,- 000 for currants, $89,000 for pine apples, $81,000 for prunes and plums, $77,000 for grapes, $66,000 for peaches, and $60,000 for canned fruits, the balance being made up of various minor articles. If to what we import in foreign fruits is added the millions of dollars worth of domestic apples, pears, peaches,grapes and berries consumed we will find that Canadiauswere abundantly supplied in the matter of this particular kind of delicacy at all events. x xx In Chicago a series ot prizes amount- ing to five thousand dollars have been offered. for a contest between horseless carriaoes, to k ilwaukee and return. The erst prize is $2,000 and a gold medal, the second is $1,500, the third $1,000 and the fourth $500. The competition is open to the world, but it is stipulated thob in case the [first prize is won by a foreigner, the second can go to none but an American.

What they hare.clone, or are doing, at Niagara, Saoramento, and Duluth, Toronto may do with Lake Sinicoe and the Humber. x x There was an excuse for the failure of Mr, Laurier to declare his policy in regard to the Manitoba school question so long as the Government refrained free. statin e its view of the matter. But now that the Ministry is clearly and definitely committed to a certain line of action the Opposition leader ought to be as clear and definite in stat- ing the course of his party. This is a duty Mr. Laurier owes to the country, expediency also points in the same direction . The people of Canada will never entrust the government of the state in the hands of a man whose policy is simply one of opposition. They de- mand something positive. They wagt a statesman who is able not only to point out the errors of his opponents but to lay down a better line of action for him se]f, and they will not entrust with power one who is unable to comply with this reasonable demand -Toronto News. r + + e e The effort ot any newspaper to build up a town is practically nullified unless it is backed up by the business men. A stranger turns from the news columns of a paper to its advertising pages, and if he fails to find there the business card of the merchants and professional firms, he comes to the conclusion that the publisher is not appreciated, in which case it is a good place for him to keep clear of. No town ever grew without the active assistance of its news- paper. Nor can papers grow and build up their localities without the assist- ance of the town. Business men should realize this and remember in giving support to the newspaper they are not only building up theis own b,usiness, but 'helping to suppoft that Whichis steadily working for the benefit f the whole community, The merchants of every town will find it advantageous to get together occasionally and discuss the looal business situation, for very often they will discover how Borne things that are working against them can be remedied. If all the business men of the town can be interested, so much the better. We often drift into a rut and become prejudiced and opin- ionated. Circulation among our neighbors will often show us our mistaken notions and we will become mere chartitable in our estimate of others. The business men of every community. have the power to do much for their localities if they will drop rivalries long enough to do it. Men are like nations -when they come together they soon discover that "the other fellow' is not as bad as they had pictured him ; that is, generally speaking, this is the case. We know of some towns where co-operation of this characterlis bringing good results. Isn't there sufficient in the arguments to attract business men in towns where this co-operatiou has never been tried The association of business men form- ally organized a few months ago. but allowed to sink into desuetude, should be resuscitated, A weekly m eeting of the merthants and an interchange of views could not help being of great utility, -while such a close intercourse would enlarge the sympathies and lead us to look with more leniency upon what may be considered as errors in judg- ment. would not be a coOstitetional ruler, But seeing thgt it is surrounded with chlhoulties, he hopes ib will swamp the Government, and then he and his merry mem will come in, and their good friend Mr. Greenway will make it all smooth for them by giving the minority the relief to -which they are entitled, If 13 Exeter Municipal Gouncil, The Council met at the Town Hall, Exeter, July 19th, 1896.

The building was undoubtedly set on fire wilfully by a man who was seen in the neighborhood of the building a few minutes before the alarm was • given. A McGillivray farmer, while passing the warehouse abobt 10.30, on his way home, claims to haye seen the incendiary touch the matoh to the west end of the building. Immediately the flames burst forth into bis face and staggered him for a moment, giving the farmer a good view of his face. He clams he can recognize the firebug and will do so. Warrants are being issued and some thing sensational is sure to follow, which will probably explainthe nrigin of the many previous fires which have taken place here during the past two years. A. later correspondence says that Jno Williams, a colored man, aged 40 years, married,was arrested Tuesday. Andrew Patton, the McGillivray farmer who claimed to be able to identify the fire, bug, was taken to Williams' house, while-Weffe iva-S- yet in Priigrese positively identified 'Williams as the man he saw setting the fire.

The driver's injuries, though painful, will not incapacitate him. Notwithstanding the disheartening reports of the apple crop some time ago,owing to damage by frost, latest advices from sections west of Toronto state that the yield promises to be much better than atone time expect- ed. East of Toronto the prospects are poor in some sections; but it must, be remembered that those districts are not very important. Maine Bled - wins, it is reported will not be over two-thirds of last year's crop. The Maine crop is,generally included in the Canadian report, for the reason that the great bulk of apples in that State is handled by Canadians. During a severe thunder storuo, which swept over Woodstock, Ont., Friday afternoon, residents on Ox- ford street report an electric phe- nomenon of dazzling brilliancy. When the storm was at its heigbt a flaming hall of fire shoe down to the earth, and, landing hi the middle of the road, exploded with a bang, sending out dense clouds of smoke. The residents in the vicinity are thank- ful the fire ball was not aimed at one of the retire, as it would no doubt have been attended with serious re - stilts. Many of the trees nearby, were deprived of a few of the branch- es, owing principally to the force of the wind, and in some instances they Were struck by lightning, .

Any one familiar with the great tests between the breis held at Chicago, frem May 121h to Oct. 20th, 1893, will bear testimony to their thoroughness, their im- partiality and the grand work that was acooinplished in the interest of dairy soience. These tests gave to the cows and breeds partioipating therein an opportun- ity to demonstrate their dairy character- istios. They were nos tests ot a few days or a week, but so prolonged that they exhibited to publio scrutiny the staying qealities of the cows and breeds. This feature cannot be too strongly commended, as the practical dairyman is not keeping cows for what they eau accomplish in a week, on a forced diet, but lather what they are capable of doing throughout the whole year, under rational feeding, and what the "net profit" is which they will place to the oredit of Ms bank aocount. The latter element was essentially the crucial one of the tote, as all the deals - ions were based on the cows and breeds 'showing the greatest net profit." The sows and breeds were credited with their products and debited with their feed. The former consisted in Test No. 1, of Oheese. the price of which was fixed according to the gorging of same (wbich was done by experts appointed by Chief :Buoluinan,) of whey, at the rate of 8 (lents per hundred pounds, and of the increase in live weight, at 4i ciente per pound; in Test No, 2 of the butter, at a price fixed by the scoring of same by the same experts as in tbe cheese test, of solids other than butter fat, at en per 100 lbs., and of increase in live weight; in test No. 3, of butler alone. A. strict Recount wan kept of all the feed, whioh was charged at a schedule prioe fixed by Chief Buohanan, with the consent of the representatives of the breeds pier to the tests beginning, and could only be fed in the presence of a rep- resentative of the Testing Committee. Columbian Guards were stationed in the barns day and night, to see that no feed was given the cows except in the presence of the representatives of the Testing Com- mittee. It will thus be seen that every feature of dairying formed a factor in these tests : quantity of milk in Test No. 1, through the whey and cheese, quantity of milk in lest No. 2, through the solids other than butter fat, and butter in Teets Nos. 2 and 3. chemist& under the t n of Prof. dr cif-, A sample of milk of e h and the mixed inilk of the her w n daily, land analyzed by a orn aff of El H. Farrington, of Illinois; and determi: nation of the fat in the- milk was made by the Babcook oil test each day, and each cow credited with her proper proportion of the products. _ The milk was creamed, and Vie cream churned in the dairy, under the immediate and personal supervision of Prof. S. M. Bsb000k or I. P. Robert& two members of the Teeting Committee. In scoring the butter and oheeee, the expert judges had no means of identifying the packages they were examining. After marking their scores, they transmitted the packages to Chief Buchanan, who, after examining same, removed the tames of the scorers and transmitted the pack- ages to the Testing Committee, whoen- tterreede ethxpeeeratoo.ree, taking the average of the h The Testing Committee conaisted of the followinig profeesore, representing the As- eociation of the Agricultural Colleges and Experiment Stations; Prof, M.

E: Fuller, representing the Amerioan jersey Cattle Club. Meetings of the Testing Committee were held daily. The high character of the gentlemen representing the Association of Agricultural Colleges and Experiment Stations, their well-known ability and probity, testify to the disinterested character of the work performed in the tests. Their knowledge of the eubject warranted scientific application when such was advisable, coupled with practical de- ductions, so that the tests satisfied both the ocientife and practical views of dairy- ing. All the members ot the committee were throughout fair and impartial, and were actuated by the sole desire to have the rules carried out and justice done to all breeds. The tests were the moat prolonged, th7e most thorough, the most fair and impartial that have ever been held in the world,f or are likely to be for many years to ()time. They cost the World'aColumbian Exptitiit- ion 873,000. They settled more point* in dairying than have ever been settled 1Nt.- fore.
