He went through the fierce cam- paign of 1891, and his vivid reports of some of the spectacular meetings of that stirring political struggle were models of graphic and faithful reporting.

He moved to New Westminster to become managing editor of The Columbian, and four years later he was chosen as the Conservative standard- bearer. Taylor's party was almost annihilated, but he himself tri- umphed, and three months later he entered the House of Commons to fight with and against some of the men whose page ho had been in the same legislative chamber twenty- eight years before. In tho House of Commons to -day there is no more 'highly respected and conscientious member than this same J. D. Taylor, who still sits for New Westminster.

A. QUEER REPUBLIC. Accidentally Discovered in the Czar's Dominion. A year ago a Russian traveller, Kasimir Veliki by name, during a journey through Siberia, accident- ally stumbled on the Village of Imanek, containing about 1.000 houses and many farms. The town lies about 300 miles from Vladivo- stock, but is not marked on any map. Veliki was seized and made pris- oner. Bya stroke luck,leer, ost o ofho v v , and after.some excitingva tree adventures, , he escaped from the village, but be- fore doing so he learned that the I community claimed to be independ- ent of hath the czar and the gov- ernment of Pekin.

The tentacle arms of the vest es- tablishment stretch out octopus - like on all sides. Two thousand trucks and over fifty locomotives rush along these tracks daily, con- veying Germany's guns, armor - plates, ammunition and shells to German garrisons, forts, ports and harbors. Six thousand tons of coal, coke and briquettes are poured daily into the huge creature's capa- cious jaws. One and a quarter mil- lion tons of fuel are required an- nually to appease its insatiable ap- petite.. Twenty million cubic metres of water, or more than the 450,000 inhabitants of Cologne consume yearly, are used in the works. Krupp's is admirably organized from a business point of view for the purposes it serves. To begin with, it is really, if not nominally, in the hands of a single individual. When it was turned into a company in 1903 the sole "vendor" was Fraulein Krupp, rho founder of the firm. The value of the entire un- dertaking was then estimated at road, and once in a blue moon the legislative page becomes the pow- erful statesman in the body where he once ran errands.

Concrete walks a need no repairs 'tHEY are not only best at first but are cheaper in the end than any other kind of walk. They are clean, permanent and safe. There is no- thing to become loose nor are they slip- pery. They improve the general 3,p- pearance of a house and pre a source of great satisfaction to every housewife be- cause they keep children out of the mud, prevent,colds from wet feet and prevent dirt from being tracked in on floors and carpets. Equally important is the fact that they Bever wear out and never need repairs. • This free book "What the Farmer can do with Concrete" tells all about concrete walks and how to build them, and a score of other things needed one every faun.

In travelling over the country, the ordinary observer is unfavor- ably impressed with the methods now in use by many farmers for taking care of their machinery, As a general rule, the prosperity of a farmer may bo estimated by the way ho cares for hie machinery, Poem ears indicates shitelesanese, waste, lack of energy and the ne- nessity of buying more machinery in a short time. Good care, on the other hand, indicatee prospervty, development, bank deposits and long-lived machinery. Properly to care for the farm im. plements means that they [oust be well selected, kept in good repair and adjustment, oiled thoroughly, ele.aned before housing, and have all wearing parts well greased when not in use and painted w'hen•neoas• sary, and must he properly housed. To neglect any of the lines of care I mentioned means serious damage 'and loss to the machinery. ! There is no question but that to house machinery properly ie a great saving, as it not only adds a great deal to the life of the machinery, but it also adds to the general ap- pearance of the farm. It is gener- ally found that where a farmer is interested enough in his tools pro- perly to house them, he is interest+ ed enough in them to care for them otherwise, To house maohinery does nob mean merely to put it in 80020 tum- ble-down, leaky shed or combined m010111ne shed and hen roost. A great deal of machinery can be placed in a small space if properly arranged. At the time of storing it the machinery should be placed in the shed according to the time it will have to be removed. The ma- chinery that will be used late in the season should be placed in the batik of the shed and that which..is to be used early in the season should be placed in front. In this way it will not be necessary to remove a great deal of machinery in order to get what is needed first. Do not forget that the implements and machines on the farm represent an investment and that when ex- posed to the weather they deterior- ate rapidly, thus making the op - keep and original cost a heavier charge against the equipment. Dew, rain and sunshine may cause great- er deterioration in expeneivo im- plemente than ordinary use. To leave The implements not the end of the rows or in the field without any shelter means great lose. No pro- gressive farmer can afford it. Binders, mowers, hay prem00s, traders, silage cutters and other machines represent considerable capital, and it is economy to ,111elteT and case for them when not in use. A toolshed costs little compared to the risk of protecting the imple- ments. The shed is really insurance upon the implements from sun, rain and rust. Even the small tools, such as single, stocks, shovels, sweeps, hoes, spades, double shovels and cultivators need shelter. And thers_. is another .advantage besides the lees in deterioration; that is, in saving time. When the 1m -elements, Inege and small, are always left in the 'tnolhoese the hand lcnnwe where to find them and does not lose time hunting for the wrench, the shovels, the sweeps, the oilcan or the 'gar- den plow. - Farmyard Manure. Remember that the. oonsti'tuentas of animal excrements are in the condition of greatest values ars man• ure at the time when they leave the anima{«' after mixing with the litter and piled in the barnyard their value is greatly reduced, During the fermentation of the manure with the straw and refuse of the stable and barnyard, the constituents enter into new com- bination, The amluonie produced; which contains the nitrogen, tom - hind with the lnunic acids formed' from the demi-Teeing littor, form- ing insoluble compound&. Thus they aro not so quickly available to the plants as the original excre- ment. There are also various 148504 in quantity which the-.00nstituentzs may suffer before they reach the, land. In the yard much urine may run to waste. Ammonia' will dis- appear as gas in the stable during the decomposition of the urine, and further loss of nibrogen may occur in the•barnyard. Clean Seed. No farmer can gob anyone to take the same pains in grading his seed that he would himself. Some farmer" claim that it deice not pay to clean gtain. All grain crops can be improved by grading the 'seed, so that only good, pinntp, ho'altlly grains; free from' all foul weed seeds may be sown. The fanning mill judiciously used will do muoh to increase the yield of every 1snap grain crop and as- sist in keeping our riolda flee from nexiatre woods, It will take cockle out of Wheat, Intekther,1, plaletaie out .0 clover: ill fact, int can be adjusted wag to .1ancile rill kinds. end weed leech.
