W Ross, the able .liiuiater of Education, don't shoot wide of the nine eye on many occasions and in the as- surance of the ability of his Government confreres to,give a good anent of tbelr stewardship, he issues the following challenge to Mr. Whitney :—"I want the leader of the Opposition to go over the record of this Government for twenty• five years —in the administration of justice, of public works and of the treas. ury—cud ploce his hand upon a single transaction that indicates want of cap• acity or want of baeiness power." Tide sounds something litre a case of "put np or shut up." Teta statements of politicians regarding their opponents have often to be taken with not only a grain but a barrel of salt, bat when corroborative evidence comes unsolicited from an unbiased individual it should carry, as it does, considerable weight. In view of what we have said we submit the following :—James Dan. Dan, Comptroller of the Prison Industries of England and Wales, was interviewed by the cilail.11mpire after he had made an inspection 'of the Central Prison. He said :—ol am greatly pleased with what I have seen at the Central Priaou. The institution appears to be in good hands, and to be extremely well conduct. ed. The dieoiplime is excellent stud I nm impressed with the activity which char- acterizes the management. I am par- ticularly delighted with the attention that is paid to the industrial employment of prisoners." He says that the question of competition with free tabor has ceased to trouble them in the Old Country, be- cause they avoid, by every possible means, competition with outside labor, and restrict the employment of convicts to Government work. The Central Prison, he roneidered, was very similar to the best French prieone in regard to matters of industry, This is the opinion of a prison expert : Mr. Whitney has yet to be heard from. A LIST of a half dozen Liberal journals is being given a very prominent plane in a number of Conservative papers because of the independence of those aforesaid newspapers in oritizing acts of the Do- miniou Government that they considered were unwise or wrong. We don't know that there is anything very wonderful about it, as almost every Liberal paper could be placed in tbo same list in speak. ing their mind ou any or every subject. It may be a trifle of a novelty to the Op• position press, as very few cases are on record where they ever opposed the pow- ers that were ruling at Ottawa, wheth- er their note were bad or horrid, Dear brethren, the Liberal press is not on the pension list, as you were for many years, and we are determined to make our fel- lows keep brae to their promisee and pledges or else bear the consequences. We know no better way than to honestly tell them they are wrong, if they are, and produce the proof. The hideabound prase, like the hide -bond party, is no longer in evidence, and the Liberal Gov- ernments will have to do the Olean thing if they expect to be heartily supported by the Liberal party end the Liberal press, Governments are not the masters, but the servants of the people. THE l;.0.0 SSELS POST • ett tswr nvs w^ ^.rtn;rnet stannic a o TZESSZEDSed razors erfrimlu_ nes Gillieuddy's hot ebot for years directed against the now Opposition. Consistency thou art a jewel. Canadian Cheese, TheBallantynes, of Stratford, are the acknowledged kinks of the cheese mem. Indus. •o They are bobothmy in this province, nfeetnrers nod drale.r., They wvn the Ilteck Creek and North Ettsthope factor - ice, and are joint ow000a of the one at Tavistock—three factories, the joint out I put of which this year will aggregate 1450 tons of cheese, and which will diatribube amoug 400 patrons $80,000, or au average of $200 per patron. In addition, the Black Creek factory will produce 40 ton of butter, whioh will be worth at least $1.0,000 more. Bat, as already said, the Ballautynee are export. ors as well as dealers, and they will this year export from 100,000 to 120,000 boxes of cheese, and the turn•ovorwill aggregate in motley value well on to three-quarters of a million dollars. This gigantic industry has not been built up iu a day. It has been a matter of growth. Mr. Bathtnbyno, sr., as a1. ready stated, opeued the second factory in Western Ontario, and from small be- ginnings the business has grown to its present proportions. It has doubled in the last fifteen years. Speaking of the changes which have taken place during this period, R, M, Ballautyne says AN IMPORTANT n0011Ess NOW, °The sentiment in favor of dairying shows a wonderful increase. A few years ago, the cows were in the (lands of the women of the family, and the little they produced was taken for pin money. Now, dairying is one of the most important parts of farm work." "FAT" CHEESI0 X0'1' Ix DEd1AE% In answer to a question Mr, Ballantyne said : "The percentage of butter tat m milk is, I thiuk, less Chau formerly. The tendency is to get cows which will pro. duce a large quantity of milk, Nor is this tendency objectionable. About 8} to 4 per cent. of butter fat is about the right proportion. If It runs up to 5 the cheese is too fat, and we lied that it is not de- sirable, and very soon falls off in quality." DEPENDS OE THE 17ANEn, "What about the improvement or other- wise in the quality of Ontario =case 4" Mr. Ballantyne was asked. "The quality of the cheese depends al- together on the individual maker," replied Mr, Ballantyne. "If the man in charge of a factory keeps his patrons up to the mark, the cheese will be good. If he does not it will be poor. Let one givo you tem instances. A factory near Wood- stock, at one time turned out almost per- fect cheese. Since then the gnality of the output has been allowed to deterior- ate, owing to the inferiority of the mills accepted, and now a good cheese is hardly ever obtained from this factory. Hero is I an instance of another kind. A. few years ' ago the product of thefactory in Carthage I was proverbial for its bad havoc. The Batton had got so into the habit of sop• plying badly.flavored milk that it was almost impossible to get a maker to han- dle the factory at all. At last, Jamas Huhner was induced to take hold. This man at once set his foot down on ill - flavored. milk. A11 that was not np to the standard was remorselessly sent back. Eventually the work of education was complete ; and today Carthage factory ranks among the best in the province." "The meiutenance of the ensuing of a factory as to the quantity of its output is everything, A very alight falling off menus a loss of half a Dent a pound to the patrons, and the eventual result is otter ruin." NECESSITY OF 000D WATER. Thomas Southworth, clerk of the For. eetry for the province, is steadily keeping before the farmers of Ontario the neces- sity of forest preservations as a preven- tive of drought. Mr. Ballantyne em- phasizes the same lesson in another way. "The years 1805 and 1090 were two of the worst in the history of the cheese industry," ho said. "The falling off in these years was not alone due to lack of pasture. It was largely owing to an insufficieut supply of good water for the COWS. Water forms one-third of a cheese, so, you see how necessary it is to have not only a plentiful supply, but a supply of good quality." TI5I1 IS A 010011 YEAR. But, if 1895.90 were bad years, 1807 will be ou0 of rare bounty The fanners of the proviuoe are experiencing the ran pleasure in cheese as well as in wheat of an abundant supply, coupled with an ab- normally high price. "In the territory West of Toronto over which we operate," said Mr, Ballantyne, speaking on this point, "the increase in make will be 25 per cent, and the increase in price, as compared with last year, amounts to 25 per oent. more. This in. crease in price means more than appears ou the face of the statement. It oasts the same to manufacture when cheese sells for 7 cents as it does when it sells for 0 scute, Consequently, a 25 per cent. increase in the selling price of pound f cheese amounts toa ore than 25 per cent, advance in the net return to the milk producer. On the whole, therefore, patrons in our district are receiving over 50 per cent. more for their milk than they were paid last year. And they are get- ting tris addition without having motet: - laity added to the number of their cows. The better flow of miler and higher price of the finished product, are, without any additional cost, putting $1.50 into a man's pocket where he only got $1 a year ago.', A 0111101 01 dCES AN IirPE1RATIVE 01101'. "What suggoatione have yeti to offer managers of faatorios 9" (lit. Ballantyne Was asked, "One of the greatest needs in conuso tion with factories," was the reply, "is the means of preventing the temperature of outing 0001010 from rising above a NV. tabu point. There is no excuse for the absence of such 1meen8 from any factory," he continued. "Iso ann be had for the hauling ; any building that will shod rem will hold it, and sawdust or straw will insure preservation. Trio lose from the shrinkage of theme in hot weather is more than sufficient to meet the cost of providing ice with which to keep a curing room cool, and the improvement in qual. ity resalbibg from an myon temperature is clear gain. Wo don't believe the Government did right in appointing Mr. Galt to the Post - mastership of Godertah, as he had never won his spurs, if a Liberal at all. These offices, when vacancies occur, should be given to men whose record has proven them worthy of Same acknowledgment at the hands of the party they have loyally served. Oar opinion is that the Execu- tive of a Riding should be the party son - salted by the Government, not the sitting member or defeated candidate. Members of Parliament are eteoted to do the bid' ding of their oonstituente and voice their sentiments and are not the rulers, hone we objeot to the elevation of people to office purely and simply to please the member. Because this role was followed for years by the past Administration or by the tardy Government, does not make it right and is no reason for its continuance, and if the Government don't sae it this way they will have to be plainly told. As to who should have been appointed Postmaster of Goderdoh is not for its to say, in fast we are doubtful if there 5110111 have been a vacancy, take Ing the investigation of charges against Brussels Postmaster and his retention to ofdae as a criterion, but Weet Huron Ex• eoutive should have been consulted, we thinly, and the Government guided by their recommendation. Mr, (salt wItI make a good postnraeter, and in this re- spect his appointment 15 infinitely sup- erior to that of many who have been pitchforked into olbes without the first gaaliiication for filling the position, In reference 10 D. MoGillioudely, we don't believe he was fairly treated by far. Cameron or the Government and should have had the preferment. It is amusing to see the astonishing avidity with which the Conservative gross gulp down the re marks of the Signal oonsorning M. 0 auoes for beating, There Anted 01 all oases be a hot air furnace --not p coo u the baeetneut, but ou the main floor, of the oaring room, If a draft of bot air ; conies from below it will injure the ebeese.

'14111501LIS COMM "Every factoey ought to hove a 501110. lent number of tarpanliu covers to protect the cheese when en route to the station, Ono load may easily, owing to leek of protection, suffer pore injury than the entire cost of providing terpenlius would amount to," 01711 0111010510 0'0A10151 ,11o01. "How does our cheese stand in Eng. land io comparison with American 7" Mr.- Ballantyne was asked. "Away ahead. It runs all along at from,} t0 a of a mut above American quotations." "And how about our factory -made butter 9" "We have obtained a better price than the saltstraliaus by from 5o. to lo, per pound during the last two wiuters," was the reply, "The Americans have free gaently, owing to carelessness in regard to salting and cedar, had to take 6o. a pound Less than our people. We have not yet been able to come up to the Danes, however ; but this is only because Danish better can be placed on the mar- ket within 24 hours after it is made. Still, we have, notwithstanding this handicap, come within 15, per pound of our strongest rivals." DE11E1) STATES I]tr1WFEllmers. "The United States, people are improv- ing the quality of their output, though. They are being more careful in regard to salt aid color, and they have adopted the Canadian style of package. The result is that Canadian dealers have found it profitable toga to Chicago and bay for export American butter at 14o., when it weaselling in Ontario at 100.
