The statements are, in a measure,
correct—at least as ,applied to the
general run of partisan speakers.
Eta there is no cause for surprise
in. this. The modern central cam-
paign fund, responsible for so much
else that is. evil, is partly respon
sible for .this evil also.- Reliance
has come, in many cases, to be
placed by candidates on the money
which pay's canvassers and soruti-
neers, assists in getting out the
vote, and in some instances pays
for the votes, rather than on argn-
ment intended to reach the under-
standing. Go into almost any con-
stituency you will, and yon may
there hear the complaint that the
man closest to the member or cail-
didate is not the man who can, on
the public platform or through
the local press give a, reason for
the faith that is in him, but the
man who knows how to got the
corrupt or careless vote into the
ltzloth on election day. Under such
eircunistances decline in the level
of discussion is inevitable.

Canada will become just as pros-
perous and just as powerful as the
United States.' No Canadian is
likely to question the trustworthi-
ness of this forecast.
The sinking of the cruiser Rurik
of the Vladivostock fleet by Ad-
miral Kainiinura's squadron on
Aug.. 14th gave particular pleasure
to the Japanese. Ten years ago
the Rurik was the flagship ' of the
Russian squadron in the naval de-
monstration which forced the
Japanese to relinquish their hold
on Port Arthur after its capture
from China.
Ashes vary greatly, as they are
produced from different sources,
easily absorb moisture and their
composition cannot be determiued
without carofttl examination. The
most valuable ingredient in ashes
is potash, the proportion being a-
' R1': VALUE AND NICW EDUCATIONAL
FEATURE.
It is a self-evident proposition
that agricultural fairs which re-
ceive grants of public money should
give the public something of value
therefor. It is not in the province
of governments in these days to as-
sist in providing amusement for
the people. A good many agricul-
tural societies are now making an
earnest effort to improve their fairs
by the introduction of educational
features, and their example is bo-
ing followed by the large exhibi-
tions which do not ordinarily re-
ceive legislative grants. There are
still some fairs, controlled largely
by the business men of the town,
which seem to beheld for the pur-
pose of attracting visitors who will
prove good customers, but the
number is fortunately becoming
few. It is now generally recog-
nized that shows exist principally
for the purpose of improving agri-
cultural conditions.
TEACHING 'MARKET REt,)UIREMENTS.
The up-to-date fair secures the

bout the reasons for their dem-
of wood ashes. .Ashes also contain stens in the ring and give addresses
on the best types of horses, cattle,
sheep and swine. In. this way the
judging may be made an education-
al feature instead of merely an al-
lotment of premiums• by men -who

purate, and, as a rule, the only
thing necessary is niaintainance
cleanliness in the wound and anti-
septic bandaging. On the other
hand, the Russians are accused of
using skim.-dum bullets, which ex-
pand on striking, and cause fright-
ful wounds.
The great hotbed. of weeds in a
community is the roadside. The
number of weeds grown along the
roads, and which are permitted to
scatter far and wide, is enormous.
The duty of destroying these weeds
seems to be that of the farmer, but
he will not work on the outside of
his fence as long as he is busy on
the othe other side, and he, there-
fore, spends more time destroying
weeds on his farm during the grow-
ing season than ,would be necessary
if he kept clown the weeds along
the road. But such work will be
useless unless all farmers are inter-
ested, as a single thriftless indivi-
dual may undo the efforts of many.
It is a fit subject for discussion in
farnier's meetings, and State laws
should make roadside weed -killing
Compulsory.
Alex. Smith, chief of the Liberal
organizers, utters it wail of regret
over the decadence of publio dis-
oussions, says the Sun, The Globe,
chief of the Liberal organ, joins to
the outcry. The burden of the
lamentations is that the average
speaker, in dealing with public
chickens for the British and do-
mestic markets and exhibitions of
killing, plucking and packing for
export. A model poultry House,

pert packers, and the most approved
style of fruit packages exhibited.
To IMPROVE FARM CROPS. Anoth-
er feature worthy of adoption by
all agricultural societies, but which
only a few have yet taken up, is
the growing of illustration plots on
the fair grounds. At a small ex-

learn just what crops and what

CnILDREN.--Demonstrations of Ag-
ricultural process are interesting to
everyone, but the operation of a
model kitchen and dining. room,
with exhibitions of cooking simple
dishes and addresses on domestic
science, will appeal, ' especially to
the farmers' wives and slaughters.
That the children may be led to
take an intelligent interest in the
fair, prizes might well be offered
for exhibits by school children of
cut flowers, grains, clovers and
grasses,roots tynd vegetables,fruits,
pressed and mounted wild flowers,
weeds and weed seeds, beneficial
and injurious insects and native
woods. These ,exhibits could bo
supplementedeby essays for which
prize:; might be offered. Wherever
tried this plan has proved effective
in inducing children to begin the
fascinating study of Nature. Every
precaution should he taken to have
a good clean fair, -where all the
boys and girls inay go to spend a
pleasant and instructive day - with-
out coining in contact -with any
injurious influence.
K1*r1N G Gobi) SIRES.—Many ag-
ricultural societies, particularly in
Quebec and the Maritime Provin-
ces, do not hold fairs, but in lieu
thereof buy and maintain pure
bred sires for the use of their mem-
bers. This is a, practice which
might Well be imitated more large-
ly in Ontario, where the number of
fairs seems excessive. By adhering
to one breed of cattle, horses, sheep
or swine, as the case. may be, the
stock belonging to the members of
a society may be graded' tip won
derfully at a small cost, but the
habit of changing continually from
one breed to another must prove
fatal to all plans for building up a
good, uniform herd or flock of
grades, which is just what the
average farmer needs.
