Clifford Sifton to leave his party, and now W. N. German, M. P., for 'Welland, cute loose. Here is what he said in tho House "With all this prosperity, everye thing going smoothly, nobody asking for reciprocity, nobody thinking of it and nobody wanting it, with the sky as clear its noonday, we get this agreement sprang ou this party with- out consultation, and on this country without enquiry. "I think the Premier should have said to the Washington representa- tives what he said to the fruit grow- ers of this country :—"You are too late." "One thing is certain ; whatever other result this agreement may have, it will, I regret to say, bring about the overthrow of the Laurier Govern- ment. "If wo are to have any reciprocity, reciprocity Em- pire it be reelp y P within the m- pire and a tariff against the world If that is not obtainable let Canada continue her past and present policy of moderate protection and a stable tariff." Lump jaw In Dufferin. The prevalence of lumpjaw in the herds of cattle among the farmers in this locality is becoming a serious matter. Drovers are becoming wary when buying, as so many cases have happened where fat cattle purchased were afflicted, but the fact was not discovered until the animals were being shipped. The marvel is that the disease was scarcely known twenty years ago. Ploughing In West. Ploughing has begun in many parts through the prairie provinces. Spring is generally in evidence, with many birds returning a month earlier than usual. There will be a largely in- creased acreage sown as the result of the Ameeiilan immigration, A Good Measure. E, N. Lewis, 111.11, for West Huron, has introduced an act by which he hopes to cope with the inconveniences and loss sustained by passengers through the careless and reckless � handling of their trunks and valises. ises Tbo measure proposes to place a fine, not exceeding $30, on the man guilty of doing the damage, and to hold the railway responsible under a decision of amagistrate for the loss sustained. An Intelligent Hen. John Groban, of Glenville, N. Y. be- lieves he owns the most intelligent henhstate, The in New York hen, which is a white Leghorn, is a pet, and Groban has taught it many tricks, Graham, who is employed in Tarrytown, has to take the trolley every morning. *The hen follows bine to the tracks, and when he goes aboard, the hen turns around and goes home. Oa March 1st Grohan over- slept, and he was in such a hurry to catch the trolley that he forgot the hen until be boarded the car, Ile heard a flapping of wings behind him, and turning, saw the hen flying up from the ground. It alighted on his shoulder, and as it did, a coin fell to the ground. It was a nickel. In his hurry to get away Grohan had drop- ped the coin, and the ben picked it up and ran after him. cgNA� r TRADESIi1ARK IO 4),A. A. MANITOBA HARD V. WHEAT FREE ENTRANCE TO CANADA. Following is third of the series of articles on Reciprocity re. published from the Canadian Century Magazine of Montreal, Corn And Tobacco, {nom The Canadian Century,) It will be remembered that et one time quite an extensive area of South- western Ontario was devoted to grow- ing corn. The duty on corn emuing into Canada from the United States was removed and the Comedian mar- ket was immediately so flooded with importations of corn fromthe United States that corn growing had to be almost completely abandoned by Canadian farmers. About the same time additional protection was given to Oanadian tobacco growers, and the result was that tobacco crops took the place of corn crops in that part of Ontario formerly most noted for its corn.

WHITS g.o°s WINGHAM The Fashionable Men's and Ladies' Tailor ..,.. What Is The Matter With Maine? The farrners of the State of Maine have all the advantages that recipro- city could bring to the Maritime Provinces of Canada and none of the disadvantages. They have free access to the much -talked -of "market of ninety millions," and cannot be shut out of it suddenly by a vote of Con- gress, as Canadian farmers might be at any time under the Reciprocity Agreement. They are nearer to the markets of Boston and New York than any part of the Maritime Pro- vinces, and yet the farmers of Maine are no more prosperous than those of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. They have no dreams about the value of the "market of ninety million people." They know that the cost of railway haul shuts them off from most of the markets of the United States, al- though there is no tariff to keep them out. The percentage of increase in population is less in Maine than in the Maritime Provinces. There are said to be many thou- sands of acres of abandoned farms in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont. Many of these farms were occupied for generations, but the young people moved to the cities or to the Western States and the old folks died. The Price Of Hogs, Canadian farmers may as well make up their minds to give up the business of raising hogs if the Reciprocity Agreement is adopted. The average price of bogs in Chicago and Montreal for the five years ending December 31, 1010, was as follows ; Year Chicago Montreal • 1000 $0 20 $7.77 1907 0 10 743 1.008 5 70 7.10 1000 7 35 8 01 1010 800 000 In October, 1007, live hogs sold in Chicago as low as $3 80 per cwt., against $0 05 per cwt. at the same time in Montreal. During the same period prices of hogs have averaged lower in Buffalo than in Toronto. Occasionally the price goes higher in Buffalo, but com- monly it is lower: The farmer of the Southwestern States bas a longer season than the Canadian farmer, He not only has cheap a corn, buthe is ableto grow 4 0 0 0 n, C several crops of alfalfa, and this en - Oho, him to produce hogs very cheaply. The Canadian packinghouses expect to be crowded out of business by the importations of hog products from the big Chicago packing houses, so that the Canadian hog raiser will have no home market, There Is No Winter There. In the severe Canadian sense there is no winter in Australia, New Zealand and the Argentine Republic. Cattle can live outdoors throughout the year, so the farmers of those countries do not have the expense of winter shelter and winter feeding. They are con- sequently able to produce butter, cheese, eggs, and meats mueh more cheaply than Canadian farmers can. No part of New Zealand is fay from the ocean, and, while Australia has a vast interior, the farms of Australia are all near the sea coast, so that the railway haul to ocean ports is not great, In spite of the fact that they are very much farther from the British market than Canada is, im- mense quantities of food from those countries are sold in the United King- dom. Now the Canadian market is to be freely opened to them as a result of the Reciprocity Compact, and Fe get nothing in return, Money In .Apples. There sure is money in apple grow- ing, Enthusiastic apple growers, among whom might be mentioned. A. E. Sherrington of Bruce Co., Ont., and B. J. Case of New York State, have testified that they make 17 per cent. from their apple orchards valu- ing them at $1,000 per acre, Many others state they make 10 per cent. and better froin their orchards valu- ing them at $1,000 per acre. Demon- stration orchards under Government management last year showed that most remarkable returns may be secured even from old orchards that have sunk practically into decay. Now, Professor Crow, of the Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph, gives figures to show that over 300 per cent. returns can be secured from the labor spent in thinning apples, while on the tree early in the season. We know that several hundred per cent, profits are secured from the investment and labor in connection with spraying apple trees. These things, and many others, along with most practical information by well-known practical and scientific men, telling just how to obtain these splendid results from apple trees, are dealt with in Farm and Dairy for March 2. You ought to have a copy of this Orchard and Garden Annual, and you may secure one free by sending a two cent stamp to Farm and Dairy, Peterboro, Ont., requesting a copy of that issue.

The coal resources of Canada proved to be a very interesting topic in the hands of D. B. Dowling, of the Geo- logical Survey, Ottawa, who addressed a large meeting at the Canadian Insti- tute on Saturday night on the subject. The speaker declared that the coal fields of Canada could be depended on. The total amount of coal in Canada was estimated by the speaker to be 170,000,000,000 tons, which should be expected to keep fires going for a few generations. This amount was equal to the total reserves of Great Britain and Germany combined, bat only a sixth of the supply of the United States. New Salt Process. A now process is said will revolu- tionize the whole salt industry and cheapen salt throughout the world. The inventor, who is nearing 70 years, worked on the ipvention for four years. The kernel of the invention is the utilization of single fire -heat salt pans, being regulated by Hodgkin - son's patent stoker, and producing' all varieties of Balt and all sizes of cry- stals simultaneofisly. The inventor sold the Canadian rights last week to the Canadian Pacific railroad, which has found brine along its line. Liberals Oppose It. Rebellion against the < reciprocity pact broke out at North York Liberal executive meeting. Although it was a closed meeting, the protests were of such a vehement character as to arrest the attention of people passing the meeting place. Among the prom- inent Liberals at the meeting who de- nounced the reciprocity pact in un- measured terms were Mr. Aubrey Davis, son of the Hon. E. J. Davis, Mintieter of Crown Lands in the late Liberal Government of Ontario, and Mr. H, S. Cane of Newmarket, a leading Liberal and a big manufac- turer. So pronounced was the opposi- tion that the motion in favor of reci- procity was flnaily withdrawn. One thorough application of Zam-Buh at night will bring ease by morning.

The Mitchell Advocate gives the following: -"I am opposed to reci- procity and every horse buyer I know is opposed to reciprocity," said Charles Brothers, of Stratford, one of the best known Ontario horse buyers. "What the farmers of Perth and like counties can be thinking of when they support this proposed agreement, I don't know. It will be a blow at the whole horse -breeding industry." Right along the same line was the comment made by Hon. Nelson Monteith, formerly minister of agriculture in the Ontario cabinet. He said, "I believe that reciprocity would depreciate the value of every horse in the County of Perth at least twenty-five per cent. Good fillies and geldings have been selling lately around $200 and I predict that with the Canadian market opened to the United States their value would drop $50 or lower." These are the opinions of two men who know the horse -breeding industry in Perth ConKy thoroughly, one from the standpoint of the breeder, the other from the standpoint of the buyer. A Kindly Act. The 13ruee Times gives the follow- ing :—"A prisoner natned Day in Walkerton jail was incurably af- flicted with consumption, and as the dread disease is most contagious in its advanced state, to tend the patient ryas merely to court death. As no- body was falling over himself to take the risk, john Sullivan, a vagrant, came forward and asked for the job. The rapidity with which it was accorded to him nearly knocked bis hat off. As the vagrant had worked around the hospitals in more prosper- ous days, he had some experience in daring for the sick and a, knowledge of What was required. The tender man- ner in which be Nursed the dying prisoner and tended him into death ratty not be rewarded on eat th, where the doings of the poor are forgotten, but matey more spectacular things Will get less credit, we believe, in Paradise.
