INCREASED EXPENDITURE.
(From The Weekly Sun.)
Supplementary estimates amount-
ing to over $5,000,000, for the year
ending March 31st next, were laid be-
fore the House of Commons last week.
The main estimates, presented some
time ago, called for an outlay of over
one hundred and twenty-seven and
one-half millions. Thus the aggregate
of the anticipated outgo for the year
is nearly one hundred and thirty-three
millions.
What is all this vast sum to be ex-
pended for? Twenty-eight and one,
half millions, including one and one-
half millions for Quebecbridge, will
be taken for this year's expenditure
on the National Transcontinental,
Fourteen and three quarter millions
aro required to pay interest and other
charges on the national debt. Twelve
millions will be devoted to militarism
—the existing militia, the Northwest
Mounted Police, the new navy, and
the building of armories, etc. Nine
and a quarter millions' will be handed
over to Ontario and the other pro-
vinces to assist in meeting the expen-
ditures of the Provincial Govern-
ments. Nearly the even two millions
will be allotted to pay mail snbaidies
and steamship subventions; we put on
a tariff to hamper trade with Britain
and other countries and then we sub-
sidize steamships in order to assist in
overcoming this obstacle. The cost of
maintaining Parliament will be one
and a half millions. The same amount
is taken for what is called capital
account on the Intercolonial and
Prince Edward railways, but this ex-
penditure is practically all such as on
other roads is met out of revenue.
Finally the Hudson Bay railway
scheme calls for a preliminary appro-
priation of $680,000.
These are the big things. Then
there are a whole lot of little appropri-
ations for minor works and buildings.
Three appropriations of $15,000 each
are in the list for public buildings in
Listowel, Harriston and Chesley. The
villages of Elora, Fergus and Port
Perry are down for preliminary ap-
propriations of $5,000 each. Picker-
ing in Ontario, Bullock's Corners in
Wentworth, Stroud in Simcoe and
Alma in Wellington will be attend-
ed to next year, These are the sops
which are intended to stifle criticism
in the towns as to the manner in
which money is being shovelled out
on the big things. The Government
apparently thinks it can ignore public
opinion in the townships ; and this
notwithstanding the fact that it is on
the townships the chief burden of pro-
viding the taxes which are being
spent with such lavish hand ultimate-
ly falls.
PERENNIAL SOW THISTLE.
The judges in the standing -field -crop
competitions .of Ontario Agricultural
Societies, in their report, sound the
alarm in regard to perennial sow
thistle. Almost unknown a few years
ago. it is now 'found in patches in
many sections of the Province, both
east and west, and is spreading rap-
idly. Many other noxious weeds
were, of course, noted, but this is the
most obnoxious, say they, of any with
which the farther has to deal at the
present. time.
Smothering is recommended as the
best plan of destroying it. Pasture
the laud closely with cattle and sheep
until about middle or end of June, and
plow down, cultivate well, and sow
with rape, buckwheat or millet. Rape
in drills is especially, good, as culti-
vation can be given for a time, and
growth is very rapid. The smother-
ing process should be repeated the
next year, if necessay.
THEY PAID CASH,
Elizabeth's mother did riot teach
her little daughter Witteh that she
should have learned about religion,
nor did the father.
The other day a guest said to the
little girl, "Elizabeth, does your father
say grace at the table
"What grace?" returned the girl In-
laedently.
"Why*, thanker for what you have
to eat.
"Oh," replied Elizabeth, now en-
lightened.
"We don't have to thank any one
for what Iva have we a1wa,yd •laay
TEE WINGRAM ADVANCE
UNDERDRAINAGE AS AN IN.
VESTMENT.
It is the experience of all wile drain
that underdrains pay for themselves
in from one to three years. The value
of increased yields on a considerable
number of farms where drainage has
been installed under the direction of
the physics department of the Ontario
Agricultural College, ranges from
$11.05 to $30,2:1 per acre, the averagae
being $21,05. This increase was secur-
ed with such crops as barley, oats,
peas, fall and spring wheat, hay and
corn, The cost of underdraining
varies widely, according to the soil
and the district. It varies from $14 to
$40 an acre, with an average not over
twenty-five dollars.
Underdraining moves the date of
seeding, from three to four weeks
ahead, It lessens the labor of tillage
by one-half. It will produce barley,
peas and oats, hay and corn twice as
high and twice as thlck on the ground
the first week in July as on undrained
land on the same farm, at the same
date and under the same tillage, It
will allow fruit trees to grow where
otherwise they would not, It will
practically double the yield of grain,
straw and hay, On the average it
will make every acre that is undrain-
ed. produce $21.0+1 more than before.
It will repay the cost of drainage
every year, or every two years, at the
most. According to Prof. Wm. H.
Day, who directs the drainage pro-
paganda above mentioned, such re-
sults have been reported from the
drainage work installed under his
supervision.
If drainage will give ideal soil con-
ditions for plant growth, and we
know it will, then as Professor Day
says, is it not high time that under-
drainage became a general practice in
all the fiat wet parts of the country,
as general, even, as the practice of till-
age ?
There is no other farm improve-
ment that can be made with such as-
surance of profitable returns, and
there is not another need so evident
on Ontario farms in general, as under-
drainage. In no way else can capital
be so profitably invested.
Downie's Dog And Pony Show.
Downie's famous company of talent-
ed dogs, ponies, goats and monkeys
will exhibit in Wingham under canvas
on Thursday, May 20th, It would be
almost impossible to devise a more
pleasing and instructive exhibition
than the one Mr. Downie has perfect-
ed. The show is all new this season,
not an old act or animal having been
retained, but in their place the bright-
est, cleanest and most enjoyable per-
formance ever seen under canvas is
presented. The prices of admission
are, children 25c and adults 3550.
Consider The Hog.
My son, consider the hog. He toils
not neither does he spin and yet he is
vvorth nearly nine cents a pound on
the hoof, and he is getting so exclusive
that only the best circles are able to
entertain him, Ho waxes fat at his
leisure, knows no labor, and travels to
market in a special car. Just at first
thought the hog seems to be consider-
able of a personage, and still he is
only a hog, and is not worthy of emu-
lation. There are a good many peo-
ple who adopt his ways, however, and
fatten on what other people gather to -
gather. Their ambition runs more to
the gross weight than to quality, and
like a hog they are despised. A hog
isn't worth a thing until he is put on.
market. He serves no useful purpose
while he lives, ,and it is only as he
gathers fat that he adds value. He is
the symbol of greed and bad manners,
has a bad disposition, and is a special
outcast—but he is selling at high price
per pound, and that is why he is some-
times emulated,

Owen Sound, May 11.—The biggest

—The Walkerton Telescope relates
that Mr. Andrew Waechter a few
years ago opened his home to a little
girl from the Home in Hamilton.
The child, Mayme Yorke, was then
five years and is now fourteen. The
regular papers were taken out and Mr.-
and Mrs. Waechter supposed Mayme's
parents were dead, till Monday, when
Mrs. Yorke (who has since married
again) arrived in town. It seems as
the father had died when Mayme was
five months old, and the mother not
being able to support the children,
they were placed in the home. Mr.
and Mrs. Waechter had become so
attached to the child that they were
loath to let her go, but the entreaties
of the mother were so earnest that
they felt they could not in justice to
the girl keep her from her mother.
—The Orangeville Banner reports
the passengers on the Toronto to
Owen Sound express on Friday of
last week were- given a rather bad
fright and have reason to be thankful
that they escaped without anything
more serious than a scare. While the
train was rounding the Horseshoe
Curve, a few miles south of Charles-
ton, the front trucks of the engine left
the rails. Fortunately the train was
travelling very slowly on account of
the heavy curve and 'stiff up -grade
and calve to a standstill almost im-
mediately. The run-off occurred quite
close to the place where the ill-fated
special left the rails in September of
1007. This is the most dangerous
piece of roadbed between Toronto and
Owen Sound. Had the train been
going the other way when the acci-
dent occurred it is unlikely that the
passengers would have come off so
well,
