LAST Saturday Hon. R. R. Dobai!, a
member of the Dominion Cabinet of the
House of Commons, was thrown from a
ba-ee on wbiob he was riding near Folk-
stone, England, and falling on hie bead
was killed almost instantly. He was
born at Liverpool to 1886 and was con-

the hope that Mr. Dobell's health might
be built up.
TRE Addreae from the throne at the
opening of the Provincial Parliament was
brief. It was moved by J. F. Grose, of
Welland 00„ a former Haronite, and
seconded by Colonel Mutrie, of South
Wellington. Messrs, Whitney and Roes
also gave epeeohea, not altogether in agree-
ment,and then business proceeded. The
session le likely to be short. Address

TRE Targe number of aoolamatione in
connection with the recent Municipal
Eleatione seems to point the way to the
possibility that these offioee may become
two year terms similar to the County
Oonnoil. For many reasons it would be
a move in the right direction as it would
have a tendenoy to keep a better class of
men in office if the tenure were longer.
It would also permit of laying plane and
carrying them out not always possible in
12 months.

the next 10 years will see many miles of
this style of road constructed and people
will then wonder bow they got along so
many years without it. The world moves
and people Wbo keep paoe with it will
have to keep beetling.

Piga termed "seleate" are those that

made Canadian baonn famous ou the
English market. Is order to keep up the
price of hogs, the packers must receive
the sort of bogs that will make the fluent

ere must have emootb, deep, well•fed pigs,
with a large amount of loan meat in the
oaroasaee, in proportion to the amount of

weigh, on reaohing the packing house,
from 180 to 200 pounds. Oa the pigs
termed "ligbte" the packers lose at lehat
outs dollar per head. The "light fats"
can be out up and pnt into the retail
trade, but too large a number of time
light pigs would, • at any time, filet the
local market. The "heavy fate" can be
worked up, when not Inc numerous, bot

"Sown" sed. "etags" are very poor prop.
arty, and can only be need in supplying a
very inferior trade. In order to be of
any value to the pokers, "sows" and
"stags" ehonld be made as fat as possible.
"Cripples" are of little or no value, to
the packers, a0d are always fed at a lose
to the farmers, "Stores" should never
reach the pork packers, yet thousands of
them are sent every week to the market
by the farmers.
It the farmers oontinue to market snub
a large number of undesirable pigs, it
will seriously injure the Canadian Bacon
Trade in Great Britain, and will bring
about greatly reduced prices for hogs
