TOO HIGH. • Manitoba Insurance Act Presses Hard on Fraternal Societies. Toronto, Nov. 20.—The societies which are associated in the Canadian Fraternal Association will endeavor to obtain an amendment of the insurance act passed at the last session of the Legislature of Manitoba in regard to the fees charged. such societies for licenses. As the law now stands Provincial soci- eties operating in Manitoba are charged a license fee of $50 a year, extra Pro- vincial Canadian societies $100, acrd for- eign societies $200. It is felt that the manner in which the fees are levied presses hardly on the societies having only a small membership in Manitoba. A meeting of the Legislation Committee of the Fraternal Association, together with the executive officers of the asso- ciation, was held at the Prince George Hotel last night, and it was decided to endeavor to have the fees placed on a membership basis. Mr. Alexander Fraser, president of the association, which rep- resented thirteen societies having a total membership of between seven and eight hundred thousand, presided. s_ TORONTO COUPLE Deported From the States by Immi- gration Officers.

Is it not tine that all dairy farmers in Canada cane to thing seriously of what might eisily be accomplished by a little, a very little, extra effort? Very few would pass by the opportunity of picking up five or six dollar bills if the conditions were not difficult. There is a huge sum of money waiting for own- ers of dairy cows. Not only is present cash value as- sured for the application of a little brain power, but solid ori permanent improvement of dairy conditions, a dis- tinct raising of the whole status of dairy fanning, a measurable gain in content- ment and self-respect, a notable and enviable addition to our reputation among the nations of the world as high- class dairymen would quickly result. Unfortunately we have to go on record even in these days of widespread and easily available raidy knowledge as owning lots of cows that produce only 2,800 or 2,500 lbs. milk during their best six or seven months, Such cows are no credit to their owners, and such owners seareely do credit to the digni- fied title of dairymen. As Canadians we should jealously guard against such a condition of affairs being possible. It is easy to detect those poor cows by reeding weights of milk, and it is injurious to any district to retain such wretched specimens, mongrels, not real dairy cows. The queen of the dairy, the select cow, will do infinitely better if handled right by men who put dairy intelligence into daily • operation. To return to that pile of cash, if only half the cows in Ontario were 'made to yield just ten dollars' more milk, it means an extra five millions of dollars within easy reach. C. F. W. COW TESTING ASSOCIATIONS. Dominion Department of Agriculture. Branch of the Dairy and Cold Storage Commissioner. To what class does each of your dairy cows belong? A business mann bends his energies towards making every dollar expended earn as much as it possibly can. From some October records receiv- ed from members of oow testing associa- tions it would seem' tihat many rows ere not expected to earn anything above the bare cost of feed from now till next spring. But here and there are cows in another elms altogether, giving as high as 750 lbs. milk and 23 lbs, fast in Octo- ber, not freshly calved cows, but cows that freshened In April or May. Suppose ing the ordinary factory patron divides his cow's into just two classes, those that pay, and those that do not pay. Is he even then in a position to place each cow unerringly? Has he records to show how much milk or fat eachcow gives month by mont7h, and, how much her feed costs? Suelr records are not only very easily keut, but are invaluable in determining .which cows are paying thd••best profi id .which are jgs•t .on the pensi. It this information at , ural step to We know of no other medicine which has been so sue- cessful in relieving the suffering of women, or secured so many genuine testimonials, as has Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. In almost every community you will find women who have been restored to health by Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg- etable Compound.
