NOTES AND COMMENTS,
13inder Twine manufactured by
prism 'labor in Minnesota is sold to the
farmers there al the following prices
Manilla, 650 feet to the pound, cents
per pound; Manilla and sisal mixed,•
(half and half) 600 feet to the pound,
714 cents per pound. This is done by
the Legislature of that state for the
benefit of the farmers. In Canada we
have two binder twine manufactories
with prison labor, under government
control. But instead a selling direct
•to the farmers tbe governments sell to
a jobber, who is a political friend, and
who taxes the farmer from 12 to 12e,
cents per pound.

A sample of. very inferior apples
shippedfrom Colborne, Ont., and form-
ing part of the cargo of the wrecked
steamer Castilian, has been forwatded
to the Ontario Department of Agri-
culture as an evidence of the need of a
Goveriement inspector of fruit for ex-
port. If farmexs and exporters are
foolish enoneh to ship poor apples,then
an inspector es necessary to protect the
interests of Canadian fruit growers.
From a business standpoint it is sui-
cide to ship ' to the British market
such apples as are described. In their
own interests exporters should send
only the very best fruit. Shipping an
inferior quality will spoil the market.
It is killing the goose that lays the
golden egg.

Valentine Reitz the member for
North Middlesex in the Reuse of Com-
mons, has forgotten his promises and
the interests of the farmer in his vote
on tbe coal oil question. A motion
was moved by Mr. Davis, Liberal mem-
ber fox• Saskatchewan: "that la opin-
ion of this Etouse, coal oil should be put
on the free list." He blamed the com-
bine for keeping the price up to 50
cents a gallon in some places in the
Territories, when, with the duty re-
moved, it could be bought for 12a cents
a gallon. As there were only '10,000
people in the oil business in Canada,
he did not see why all the rest of the
population should be taxed for their
benefit." Mr Fielding, Finance
Minister, inade a naotion, to adjourn
the debate on tbe oil question, which
practically shelves it. Mr. Ratz voted
with Mr. Fielding, thus going back on
his attitude, on the coal oil question as
expounded on the hustings at the time
of his campaign.

North Dakota has been the Mecca of
persons desiriug divorces for a long
time, and the honor of the State has
been sallied because of the laxity of
its divorce laws anti the notoriety re-
sulting from their application. A par-
tial refornehowever, has been effected.
The old lawheca,me practically void on
SPril 1, andtbe flood tide of divorce
immigration passed. Peonle seeking
divorces still arrive in the State, but
theirs is a bootless chase. By July 1
the last suit for divorce -under the old
law will leave to be filed. Tie La -
1110111'e amendment, which became op-
erative on April 1, revokes the 00 -day
provision of the old law, and establish-
es a one-year provision. It is stated
it the newepaper reports that one-half
of the business interests of Fargo re-
gret the new order of things with the
deep regret of men whose pocketbooks
are materially afreeted. Here some
may be able to find an analogy with
the case of vendors of liquor. There
would seem to have been an 'unfair
diecrinetnation against the traders in
divorce.

connection, If any man in Canada

defamatory nature has been said

investigation into his public life.
Then Major I'Valsh ought te be con-
sidered. Some very unpleasant charges
have been made against lihn. The
Government should have afforded him
an opportunity of clearing up his

resting under a serious imputation.
If these three gentlemen were aa jeal-

F. W. Hodson, superintendent of
Farmers' Institutes, reports that there
is a dearth of cattle, owing -mainly to
the increased exportation of live stock
brought about by the removal of the
quarantine regulations between Can-
ada and the United States. For some
time after the embargo was lifted
American buyers swarmed through
the country, purchasing all the stock
upon which they could lay their hands.
Some buyers took aevay as many as
2,000 or 3.000 head of cattle. Conse-
quently, the supply now is ver e- limit-
ed, and good prices are likely to rule
for some time to come.

THE EDITOR'S WIFE
THISLADYSIIFFERED TERRIBLY
FROM RHEUMATISM.
Her joints Began to Swell and Twist
Out of All Shape --Death Would
Have Bern a Relief -Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills Restored Her To Health.
Fr0111 the Harriston Tribune.
After long consideration and much
hesitancy about having her name
made public, Mrs. john A, Copland,
wite of the editor and proprietor of
the Harriston Tribune, has resolved
that the world should know how won-
derfelly her health was restored by
the timely use of Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills for Pale People. Our representa-
tive interviewed Mr. Copland and the
following is his statement of the case :
"Whilst we were living in Toronto
at No. 99 IVIcGill street, my wife took
ill in the autumn of 1894, and had such
racking pains that she cotad hardly
stir. One of the best specialists in To-
ronto was celled in and he diagnosed
the case one of -acute inflammatory
rheumatism, His prescriptions were
given and he said that the case was a
very severe one audit would be a won-
der if her joints did not become mis-
shapen. What this eminent physician
predicted came true. At the end of a
month may wife was worse than ever,
and her wrists and knuckles were
twisted greatly out of shape. She was
so disheartened that she would weep
at the slightest provocation. She was
loath to stay in bed, and had to be as-
sisted to rise and dress, every move-
ment &dying her intense pain. During
all the ensuing winter this state of
things continued, she gradually- be-
conung worse in spite of the strong
medicines and the lotions that the doc-
tor prescribed for her. We tried in
vain the massage treatment and the
electrical treatinent. My wife would
moan nearly all night with the pain.
She was unable to hold the baby, and
even could not bear to have a person
point a finger at her. I feared that the
spring would see my wife under the
sod, and you may be sure I was terrib-
ly afflicted by it. All this time we
continued to give her the doctor's
treatment and medicines, until nay
wife stoutly refused to take any
more of the drugs. From that out she
began to improve, and. one evening I
was astonished to see her coming to
meet ine when Iarxived home from the
the office. "Why" I said, "the doctor
is doing you good after all." "Not at
all," she said anel smiled. Then she.
produced a little round. wooden box
and held it up. "I have a great secret
to tell you," she laughed. "Unknown
to you I have been taking Dr.
Williams' Pink Pill, and this is the
seventh box. They are rapidly curing
me. Naturally I was overjoyed and
almost wept at the thought of how
very near I came to losing her. She
continued taking Dr. Williams's Pink
Pills and before she had finished tbe
eleventh box, she wasesuite well again
and to -day her wrists and knuckles
are as shapely as ever.
Seyeral of our neighbors in Toronto
knew how sick she was, and can cor-
roborate every word I have said.
Either myself or my wife are willing -
to swear to the truth of these state-
ments.
Mr. Copland has been laughed at
for the enthusiasm with which he has
sung the praises of Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills, but he believes that anything so
valnable to mankind should get all the
praise it deserves.
Mrs. Copland was seen at her resid-
ence on Xing streelsEfarristou,and she
eorroborated every word her husband
has said. She reluctantly gave con-
sent to have her name publisheclebut
said that she thought it proper that
the efficacy of these pills should be•
nincle known. She was led to use Dr.
Williams' Perak Pills through seeing
the accounts OF cures in the news-
papers.
