THURSDAY, AUGUST 26th, 1897. SHOULD FEED OUR OWN CATTLE. John McCulloch, the Woodstock cattle buyer, is of the opinion that the Dinglev tariff will not prove detrimen- tal to the shipping of cattle from this. section to the Buffalo markets. Mr, Mc- Culloch says that stockers are very scarce here, and what have gone over the line have not been up to the mark for fattening. This trade sprang up suddenly last falI after the removal of the quarantine regulations, and as- sumed quite large proportions. "The buyers," said Mr. McCulloch, "procure these cattle from the farmers here, and at a cost of one cent a pound for handling and freight and duty, ship them over the Iine, and sell them to farmers who fatten them and send them to precisely the same market in Great Britain as the buyers here. There is an abundance of feed. in Can- ada, and the cattle men have an ad- vantage of a cent apound at the out- set. With these things in our favor, we should fatten our own cattle. In this respect, the Dingley tariff should have a favorable effect on Canada." THEY ALL DO IT. Mr. Sifton's efforts to provide gov- ernment, offices for his tinnily has added a new word to our political vocab --" alar Siftonisw." 3 The outlet of Lake Manitoba is to be widened at a cost of some $30,000, and 3r• i ...said the man who gets the con- tract for widening it has the honor to claim Mr. Sifton for his nephew. Tenelers for the work do not seem to have been advertised for. Mr. Sifton's family ties, like his party ties, seem to be very strong. Mr. Sifton states that if his father is not made Lieutenant -Governor of Man- itoba there will be another rumpus in the Cabinet.

They began with a surplus in cash of about three and a half millions of dollars,exclusive of all trust funds with the Dominion government or any other funds or,in- vestments whatever. In nine years only of this long period of control have the total receipts exceeded the ex- penditures, while in the other seven- teen years the expenditures have greatly exceeded the receipts. Take the past three years (sinoe last general elections) as examples of how financial affairs are run by these pro- vincial masters. 1891 Expenditures Receipts Deficit 1895 Expenditures Receipts Deficit 1893 Expenditures Receipts $3,797,633.46 3,391,932.41 $405,091.25 $3,713,959.93 3,33'6,006.79 $ 337,953.14 $3,685,:331.01 3,238,7611.43 Deficit $ 446,501.558 The returnsfor1807 will not bedown until tbe Legislature meets next year, hence the exact financialcondition will not be known till then but if the Pro- vincial Treasurer's own estimates as given last session for 1897 are of any value, the deficit for the year will be even greater than that of former years quoted. The total expenditures for this year were estimated $3,860,122 and the receipts at $3,215,372, leaving a deficit of $658,750. California Farmers htappy. Farmers are jubilant at the prospect of ;spaying crop once more after years of grinding hard tinges. The yield in California is unusually good in nearly all sections. Grain is pouring into warehouses at all shipping paints, and the country roads are lined with big teams hauling wheat to market. The bakers of Winnipeg have been notified of a rise of 30 cents a barrel in flour. A shipment of 320 bicycles was made Saturday ntoxntnr, to Australia. from Toronto. The shipment was valued at $31x600. Apple buyers are purchasing the crop in Belleville sectiou by the or- chard and by the barrel. The crop is considerably short of the average. The Michigan Salt Associlation has advanced the price of salt in all mar- kets of the west 5 cents a barrel, and in the home markets 8 cents a barrel. In the neighborhood of Jamestown, N. D,, the barley crop has increased 15.3 per cent in average over that of last year, the corn crop 15.0 per cent, the wheat crop 27.3 per cent, the oat crop 0,8 per cent, and the flax crop 8 per cent. A gold brick weighing 250 ounces was turned out by the Trail smelter's new refinery last night. Experiments have been in progress for several. weeks, but this was the first refined gold produced in the Dominion of Can- ada.-Rossland Record. Not one complaint has ever been made by those using Ayer's Sarsaparilla according toclirections. Furthermore we have yet to learn of a case in which it has failed to afford benefit.

There being no eyidence offered for the petitioner in the East Simcoe elect- ion trial to -day, Teclges Ferguson and Robertson dismissed the case without costs. Dir. W. H. Bennet, the Con- servative representative of the riding in thof('omnions, thus retains House his seat. Tt is freely stated in local political circles that Mr. Kirkpatrick will not be retired from his office, and that should his health permit he will remain Lieu- tenant -Governor for at least another full term. The name of J. K. Kerr, Q. C. thewel]-known barrister, is mention- ed as his successor. The mid -summer crop bulletin of the .Provincial Department of Agri- , culture, Manitoba, just issued states, the estimated total l yield of wheat is 21,284,271 bushels, the Average being estimated at 16.40 bushels per acre. Manitoba production of all kinds of cereals will be nearly forty million inishels. All departments of agricul- ture are reported to be in a satisfac• tory condition.

DR, WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS GAIN ANOTHER GREAT VICTORY. A Reporter's Searching Investigation Intoa Case atOrangeville-The Claims Made on Behalf of This Medicine Fully Borne Out -The Greatest Heal- ing Medicine of the Age. From the Orangeville Sun. In a cosy little house in Margaret street, in this town, live Mr. John Garrity, his wife and family, • They are indeed a happy family, although a few years ago a sadder household wouldbe hard to find. Their happi- ness was not occasioned by the sudden obtaining of a fortune, but by some thing much more precious -the restor- ation to health of a wife and mother when everyone whispered that she must die. Our reporter heard of Mrs. Garrity's illness and cure, and for the benefit of our readers investigated the case; what he learned is well worth re- peating. A few years ago Mr. Garrity kept a wellknown hotel at Chelterham and was known far and wide for his kindness and hospitality; bis wife, toowas noted for amiability. However, she was stricken with a peculiar sickness, her health failed rapidly and from one hundred and forty-seven pounds her weight became reduced to ninety-five pounds. Fainting spells became fre- quent, and a continual pain in the back of her bead almost drove her frantic.. Physicians were in atten- dance, but the doctors all said there was no hope. Mrs. Garrity saw death staring her in theface, and the thought of leaving her little children caused her much sadness. She was advised to try Dr. William's Pink Pills, but thought they could not possibly do her any good when physicians bad fail- ed to alleviate her sufferings. Hoping however, almost against hope,she pro- cured a supply,and wonderful to relate she had not been taking Pink Pills long when the dreadful symptoms of her illness began to pass away, and to- day she is the picture of health. A few months ago Mr. Garrity and fam- ily removed to Orangeville,aud in con- versation with our representative Mrs. Garity said: -"I cannot fii,d words to express my thankfulness for what Dr. William's Pink Pills have done for rue, why it 13 almost miraculous. I wish that everyone who is suffering as was I will hear of this remedy. We always keep as box of the Pink Pills in the house," Elbert Eastman, who. voluntarily surrendered to Constable Fairbrother, of St. Thomas, was arraigned before Police Magistrate MCDiarmid, of Aylmer, Saturday, on the charge of not contrihuting to the support of his wife since last March.

Wheat cutting is general, correspondents give the yield estimate ranging from 25 to 40 bushels per acre, but the majority say it will be from 15 to 20 bushels, or about the same as last year.

The benefit derived from an adver- 1 tisement depends altogether upon the• number of persons who read it. To - reach the greatest number of readers. at the least possible expense, is a' question that should be considered: very carefully by business inen. A. thousand small bills printed in Tor- - onto or London, and distributed in this section, would ho just se effective - as if the bill had been printed in towne There is not a doubt about that, but if you want to reach tbe people in their homes, newspaper advertising is the only successful way. To get the best results use the paper with the largest circulation, and thegreatest amount of local news. Circulation is the proper- basis roperbasis upon which prices should befixed. If a newspaper with a circulation of 2,000 charges $100 per year, then one • withacirculation of600 would be entitI-- ed to $30.
