The Czar of 1'ussla has been visit- ing the President of the French ate - •Pu licin the friendly and Ito,timate way. En route he has been entertained .by the Emperor of Gen „many on board his royal yacht. When ono thinks of the career of I r Napoleon Bonaparte, in such a 000- Alection, or even looks book only to the Crimean war, ouch an alliance as now exists between Franco. and Russia, with the tepparontiy hearty sanction of ail the continental pow- ers, and na't a word of protest from Groat Britain, aeoms amazing, and .de he is tempted to rile what it means. It is not because France is weak, for she was never more prosperous, v better prepared to defend her coun- try against invasion, or to takethe initiative in war if occasion de- manded. It is not because Russin. has no choice for an ally. It is true o that Germany 10 bound to prevent Austria from Russian aggression, and that Austria is always fearing this, but Germany is the natural .'and ancient ally of the Czar, and it would not be difficult for them to come to terms of alliance. Nor is it beyond belief that Russia should be allied to England. There are ties of •, consanguinity between the royal houses of the two .nations, and if Russia wishes to borrow vast sums of money on good seeurity,.no na' tion has more money to lend at high rates of intermit on good security than Great l3ritafaa Why then, leaving sentilthent wholly out_of the question, is the Emperor of Russia seeking, by the most posi- tive and personal of all methods, to strengthen the ties which bind France to Russia ? Those who•gave the Czar credit for sincerity when ho made the declaration and gave the iavitabion which resulted in 'the establishment of the Court of Arbi- tration at the Hague, believed that .,, he desired the peace of Europe, and that he was willing to enter into any feasible agreement by which that desire could be realized. Per- haps some went further, and gave hila credit for desiring universal peace. That, in the condition of mankind at the time, and hardly less now, was Utopian. But the peace of Europe is practicable, and it is likely to be preserved by no- thing so mach as by a well cement- ed alliance between the most con- servative and absolute monarch in the world, and a brave and brit- tient, but volatile Republic. An alliance between Russia and France is almost a guarantee of peace in Europe while it exists, FRENCH-CANADIAN CATTLE. Since the entry of the French-Oalt- adian cattle in the dairy tests at tho, Pan-American DIxpositlon at Buffalo we have had many inquiries about them from parties who did not knowthat there was such a. breed or idiot there was .a registry of them, In fact most of them thought, that Canada ha'd what might be called a native breed, like so-called natives of the United States, rnpdo up by crossing tho progeny of early. importations truth it would be diffi- cult to toll what blood predomin- ates. Fortunately we are in receipt of a pamphlet sone out by Dr, J', A, Couture, :).V,$., of Quebec, secre- tary of tho French-Canadian Cattle Breeders Association, in which he gives the history of the breed and the elaiins outdo for it, perhaps a lfttl enthusiastically, as comes na- tural to one especially interested in ono breed, but as the advocates of 1 s other ursods have had ample pace to tell their merits, we can afford to let hint praise these favorites Of Lower Canada, He says the French settlers who first came to Canada were natives of Brittany and Normany, France.

As to Turkey, she can be kept quiet, whenever the nations agree that she must be quiet. The Turk does not . count now any more than Greece or Spain. There are those who would perhaps agree to this view, because they would say that 'Russia needs • peace, that site has been exhausting herself Loo much of Into in Siberia and the Inc East. Such thinlcers can hardly be acquainted with the vast resources of the Russian empire, nor its elasticity and recuperative pow- er. They have forgotten now she recovered from the Napoleonic and the crimean war and became richer and more prosperous than bofore. We prefer to believe that the dream of tiro young Emperor Is merging into the practical plan of a far-see- ing and benevolent statesman, that he tolieves that peace in Europe will forward everything that is good and just and noble, and that if Franco and Russia aro niitocl in this Plan, the dream will become a reality for :years at least, perhaps for a genera- tion and longer. in Quebec, in 1620 or thereabouts, were brought, no doubt, from these two districts. No importations of other breeds worth mentioning are reported in the history of the Pro- vince until about 1900 or a little before, Between 1776 and 1850 a few herds of English cattle, mostly Ayrshires and Shorthorns, were bought up by wealthy Englishmen residing noir Montreal and Quebec, where they are still to be found. They found but .little favor with the French habitants in the poorer region .and in the remote parts along the Laurentides and the lower part of the St. Lawrence, both north and south, as they" were loth to cross their hardy little cows with the larger breeds, fearing with good rea- son, that they could not feed suffi- ciently to _ keep the larger animals alive, to say nothing of profit dur- ing the seven months of winter. Thus they have been kept nearly dis- tinct for over 250 years, and inbreed- ing has been resorted to, to fix in a sure manner the characteristics of the breed. Thus they have much of the appearance of the Brittany cat- tle of to -day. It may be noted here that the French-Canadian, the Jersey, Guern- sey. 1Cerry and Brittany is' usually allowed to be SURPRISING PROPOSAL, odoxit Tooth Powder 2 Good for Bad Teeth Not Bad for Good Teeth ''Ihitoo Soaodone Liquid 250.

As in the early days of the colonies cattle had but little shelter, they became inured to the cold climate and the native bred stock has become adapt- ed to it. They are greedy feeders, accepting the poorest of food, oven living on poor straw, but they can enjoy better food and give a profit in return, As they are small, the cows averaging about seven hundred pounds each, they do not require large amounts of food. In form they are something like' the Jersey, but, in color most frequently a solid black, or black with brown stripe on tho back and around the muzzle, or brown with black points, brown brindle or even yellowish. The bulls must be black, with or without the yellow stripe, as tho desire is to get a uniforinly black color as quickly as possible. They are very good tempered, and while not giving as much milk in a day as a Holstein or Ayrshire, they give a good amount daily from coif to calf, often exceed- ing heavier milkers in , Tkl.h YEARLY PRODUCT.

A farmer at St. Denis, Que., who had 24 cows of this breed from May 12, 1882, to May 12, 1893, sold 68,193 pounds of intik to the cheese factory for $531.19 ; made 1610 pounds of butter at home, worth $323.20 ; used at home 9,125 gallons of milk at 12 cents a gallon, 3109.50 ; fattened 3 calves on milk, $12, and brought up six others partly on milk, worth 318, This was an 1110010 of 5993.89, or 341.41 per cow. They ate 4,480 bundles of hay, worth 8268.30 • 2,240 bundles of straw, 567.20 • 4,850 pounds of bran, 540.82 ; and pasture was call- ed 35 per head, 3120 • a total ex- pense of 5496.32, or 320.68 per head, and a profit of $20.73 per head. Note that they had half as much straw as Ilay, no ensilage, no grain but the bran, no oil cake, and yet gave a Profit better than the cost of food. • What the cow can do under butter feed Er.
