Mr, Blake witb all his great abilities was never intended by nature or training for a political leader, and Mr. Hardy 10 too gifted, ambitious and successful to consent to die with the dry rot la the Lieutenant -Governor's reeide)ce. The Liberals of Ontario emu - not be caught with that kind of a bait, 0v011 though seine promileut temperance advocates ostensibly further it. No kind of scheming can help this cause and tem- perance must repudiate all advances for any kind of alliances. The recelt GOvermnent returns give the death fate of the Province of Ootarlo for last year AB ton 0130 oue•tooth per thott)4and of our iu]1abi1znt5. That is evidence of a very vigorous race and a healthful climate. With those figures it is etusily seen what life ineurauce could be eouductod for if it were not for the abnormal expense of management. An annual premium of only $10.10 would insure every person in the Province, in• eluding all the babies, 0ousnnlptives, octogenarians, cripples, halt and blind for $1.000 at death. An insurance com- pnuy that presumably takes nothing but healthy lives ought to have a much lower death rate still, hence xhoulet be able to give $1,000 insurance for $6,00, or less. Since the average anneal premium of a policy iu an insnranco company is about $80 for each $1,0011 insurance, we see how much is paid out for salaries, rents, ad- vertising mud commissions to agents. America talks much about demooratio ideas, brit it takes a mighty long time for our (10n1oo•a3.ie ideas to got crystalized into either legislation or into every -clay action. The reasou that we have to pay so ninth for our life insurance is that Moro are ten times too many companies and fraternal 1140ooiatiou0 in the field, and the lion's share of rho money goes for salaries and other expenses. If there f' were only one old lino company and one 1beneficiary society doing business in Can. oda, we would got insurance for one. third the summit it now costs. It is just 1 the dame on the other side of the bound. ary line. There is no greater waste of f money in all our oommereial fabric- than in this multiplication of companies and a0soo1atlon5 doing an insurauoe business, olid in no place could amalgamation take place that would bone&t 1110 country as much.

The present system of co-operative ex. porinle0tal work iu agriculture was start- ed in 1880 with 00 plots, which were situated on twelve different farms in Ontario, Since that date, however, the world has increased front year to year and in 1880 there were /1,124 plots, which were situated on 2,260 farms. We are again prepared to di0trlbate material for co-operative experiments with fertilizers, fodder crops, roots, grains, grasses, and clovers. Interested persons in Ontario who wish to join in the work may seleot any one of the experiments for 1897 and inform the director at once of the choice made. All 3rateli13 will be furnished entirely flee of charge to each applicant, but he will be expected to couduot the test ac- oordiug to the instrnotions sent with the seeds, and t0 report the result1 of his test as soon as possible after harvest. 1101) 0i' L'•x1,9111)0*NTS FOR 1897, I.

The decline in the export barley trade ,las iucluoecl some of the leading Toronto grain deaers to draft a 01110nlar Mao)) is being sent to 1hei1 grain buyers in the country, with instenobjons to emulate i0 among the farmers. It reads os follows : During the past four or five years, the demand for barley has been regularly de- creasing. Tile high duty enacted by the United States, coupled with the fact that the raising of this grain in their own oountey has developed so largely that they are compelled to export large quantities to the markets of Europe, for foodieg pur- poses, and at very low figures, leads us to believe that it is impossible to grow this grain to advantage in Canada, over the home requirements, As we have experienced considerable difficulty in tolling bailey to any %&Ivan. tape for some time past, wo feel it our duty to mall the attention of the farmers to this fact, and advise them to consider whether they ought nob to kerma the growing of it, There are still largo -stocks of both barley and malt in the United States aucl Canada, which will in all probability 11)400 to bo c arriocl over until next south, owing to rho unsalisfaatory stale of mar- kets at the present time.
