Outer, Deo eve, ,es Olt tmtittt THURSDAY, NO VEMBER12th, 1896, Wheat Production. The United States Department of Agrtcaltur;Ll has in response to a very general inquiry issued abnlletin show- gthe wheat production and exporta- tion during the pastfifteen years in the leading wheat -exporting countries of the world. The figures are of such a nature as to confirm the upward ten- dency of wheat prices, showing as they do that there lute been as rapidly ex- panding market in late yearsfor wheat. and that serious failure of the crops in any one of the great exporting conn-• tries must produce sornething in the nature of a general shortage. The bulletin gives first the average yearly ,procluet of the principal exporting Countries arranged :according to five- year periods. This shotes that while ' on the average the United States pro- duced yearly, from1881 to1885,435,085.- 744 bushels, the product, was increased fin the period 1891-1805 to 490,236.218 bushels. Canada produced an average yf39,200,000 bus aelsyearlyhet ween 1881 and 1885, and 51.405,800yearly between 1931 and 1895. Argentina produced 310, 4) 00,000 bushels yearly in the first period and 01,000,000 bushels in the second ; Russia 224,106,611 in the first and 301.- 406,600 in the second ; India 269,721,362 in the first and 224,009,000 ?tt the sec- ond; Uruguay, which in 1805 hada crop of 10,000,000 bushels and israpidly tak- ting a placo'aniong exportingcountries, imported wheat up till 1891. It willbe • seen from these figures that all the countries named except India Kaye greatly increased their wheat produc- tion pastfifteen years. tion dntittg, the Ar- gentina's increase is the most notable, and it is not improbable that. the Ar- gentine export willi become within a few years vastly more important to Europe than that of North American - The farmer. or dealer interested in the price of wheat must keep his eye on Russia and Argentine, for if these countries continue to increase export- ation it during as have increased g they the past fifteen years they will soon have complete command of the situa- tion. The North American agricult- turist has a better chance of success in the world's markets with fine products than in fighting Russia and Argentina with wheat exports. The c present u x P t scarcity may, and doubtless will, put up the price materially this year. but that very increase in price may stimulate production in both Russia and Argentina and bring its own reaction. when good old age of 79, Sir Oliver Mowat, Henry Aleut r has been 2 years i 52 system, and managementand working Rev.

He will be inaugurated Presi- dent on Thursday, March 4, 1897, and Mr. Hobart, of Paterson, N. J., will take his place as Vice -President of the Republic on the saute day.. Wil- liam McKinley will be the 25th Presi- dent of the United States. On the 26th of February, six clays before his inauguration, he well be 52 years of age, the same age that Abraham Lin- coln was when inaugurated iu 1861. Mr. Lincoln, like McKinley, was born in the month of February—on Feb. 12, 1809. He was inaugurated ou the 4th of March, 1861, twenty days after 5. the cotitpiet]ott of his 52nd year, where- as Mr. McKinley will be inaugurated six clays after it. Like Lincoln, Mr, McKinley served as a Representative in Congress before his election to the Presidency. The PubIi'.

The amount of consideration given economy may be guaged by the fact that in one place there are a superintendent and assistant superintendent to look after two men and one horse. NOTES AND COMMENTS. Rev J. H. Fairlie, principle' of the Ruperts' Landlndustrialschool, writes to the Winnipeg Nor' -Wester a stiff reply to the Liberal attack made upon him because of his refusal to admit champagne and whiskey into the insti- tution for the use of Mr. Tarte and suite on the occasion of the recent in spection. He says that in view of the purpose of the school he would have been guilty of criminal negligence had he admitted the liquors. As to the charge that there was a bad smell in the school, be says he can well under- stand that "when a dozen men who baye spent two hours at a bangnet, where champagne and whiskey and soda were served, and cigars freely smoked, get crowded into a small room it is not eonductive to sweet smells." He noticed the strong smell himself, but did not think the officers of the schooi were to blame. It seenis that Mr. Fairlie has been at the head of the school for three weeks only. He was appointed by the.precent government to manage it, and he says ." I under- _. stand my duty, and I daily ask God for strength to perform it fullyand fearlessly, even to the extent of for bidding' so powerful a delegation to bring whiskey within its walls." The {nspcetion, which consisted of a two tours' luncheon and ten minutes' ex-' .aminaation of the school, was evidently eehuge jamboree, and the principal would haave,nothiug to do with it. x Jut eighteen ears ago, the Mac- kenzie Govern mentsuperaunnuated Mr. Meredith, then,Depiity Ministe a annual tithe Interior,' on n allow- ance of $2.2:t0.

Sad, and suddetr,indeed, was the death of Leonard, the 17 -year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Harding, of Lon- dun, The cattFamtty which deprived WAS the unfortunate lied of life WASthe ac- cidental discharge of a revolver by himself.

Grayhiel, of Caledonia, badly mutilat- ed the wrist of his right band on a cut-off saw, The haud was paralyzed. Finally Graybiel went to the hospital for treatment, and a daring operation was attentlrted. Graybiel and a small black spaniel dog were placed under anaesthetics„Lod the man's torn nerves cut off. Then two inches of sciatica nerve from the living dog was trans- planted and attached to the two tends of the severed median nerve in Graybiel's wrist. The same process was gone through with on the ulnar nerve. Graybiel can move bis hand freely and full sensation has re- turned. In a short time the band will be as strong and active as ever. The dog was given morphine and died soon after the operation was com- pleted. The boycott of American silver at Windsor has been raised, and the ino- ueywill be taken at the banks at par, as hitherto. Other places will likely follow suit.

Some people wonder how the United States use, up all the eggs laid by the hens over the border and millions of dozens imported from other countries. The explanation is found In the fact that calico print works use 40.090,090 dozen eggs per year, wine clarifiers use 10,000,000 dozen, the photographers and otherindustries use many millions and these trade orders increase more rapidly than table demands.
