FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1904.
The campaign in South Huron
• is waxing warn. Both sides aro
working hard and both seem to be
-confident of victory. Mr. Fraser
has held some very successful
:innetings throughout the riding,
aril much interest was manifested
in them by the electors.
Under Conservative rule three -
cent postage and a deficit of $750,-
000. Under Liberal administration
two -cent postage and a surplus of
$300,000. This is the record of the
Postoffice Department, and it is
a fair index of the difference be-
tween the two Governments.
Sir 'Wilfred Laurier's visit to
Lueknow will be historic. The key-
note of his speech_ to the vast audi-
ence, mostly Scottish, was the need
for harmony between races in the
interest of Canada as a whole. His
protest against racial mischief -
makers was pathetic as well as
eloquent, and was thoroughly ap-
preciated by his Scottish hearers.
In common with the United
States and European countries,
Canada's beet sugar crop will this
year be under that of last year.
For this season about 10,100 acres
are devoted to beet cultivation
with an estimated sugar yield of
.5,900 .tons of sugar. Last year
there were 16,100 acres in good
stand and the actual yield of sugar
was 6,710 tons.
A German paper gives a test for
watered milk, which is simplicity
itself. A well -polished knitting
needle is dipped into a deepvessel
of milk and immediately withdrawn
in an upright position. If the
sample is pure some of the fluid
will hang to the needle, but if
water has been added to the milk
even in small proportions, the fluid
will not adhere to the needle. •
The Austrian Ministry of the
Interior has deemed it worth while
to issue a special warning against
the numerous marriage bureaus
which flourish particularly in Ber-
lin, and which find their dupes
wherever German is spoken. They
supply circulars with numbered
pictures of women. In return for
cash, the address of any one of
these women is given, and if the
writer receives no answer and
sends a complaint to the agency, he
is simply informed that the woman
didn't care for him or had made
another match.
A very unique feether-guessing
contest was recently conducted by.
a prominent company manufactur-
ing feed for poultry. Five hundred
dollars in prizes was offered for;
best estimates, or guesses, as to the'
number of feathers on a hen. The
first prize was $100.
Thousands of guesses were re
.oeiVed, including some very 'amus-
ing ones. One party, who was
probably looking for some "catch"
:scheme, estimated "none at all."
Many estimates in the hundreds of
thousands were received, several
-in the, millions, the highest esti-
mate being 600;060,017. The eor-
reet number was found to be 8,120,
'The oorapany says ; "We feel . a
pardonable pride in having contri-
buted to poultry science an item of
information actually new." -- St.
Nicholas. .
• Itis said by woodsmen, according
to the °current number of Forest
and Stream, that if clucks and
kindred wild fowl have pin feathers
at this time of the year there will
be an open fall and winter. If, on
the other hand, down takes . the
place of the lighter covering, the
winter will be a hard one. Last
summer the birds were so covered,
while the year before they forecast
a mild winter.
Reports received by the Chief
Game Warden and also by Mr.
Bastedo, the Commissioner of Fish-
eries, bear out the predictions of
the observers quoted by Forest and
Stream. Sportsmen say that the
ducks which have been shot already
have no pin feathers, but have a
full coat of thick down on the
breast. If the signs are to be trust
ed this would mean a hard winter,
and shows the wisdom of laying in
an extra ton or two of coal.
Ono dollar a bushel for sixty
pounas of wheat has been the
ruling price for the past week..
The buyers throughout Ontario are
adopting the "standard" price. It
will be remembered that some
years ago a "standard" was adopt-
ed by the Dominion Millers Asso-
ciation, but was discontinued in
some places although it has been
in existence more or less ever since.
The following scale will explain the
system of buying, the 60 pound
sample bringing the standard price,
those weighing more than 60 lbs.
to the bushel proportionately more
and those less bringing a certain
price below that of the standard
according to their grade :
Sixty-two pounds brings 2 cents
more than standard price.
Sixty-one pounds brings 1 cent
more than standard price.
Sixty pounds brings standard
price.
]fifty-nine pounds brings 1 cent
less than standard price.
Fifty-eight pounds brings 2 cents
less than standard price. •
Fifty-seven pounds brings 5 cents
less than standard price.
Fifty-six pounds brings 8 coats
loss than standard price.
Fifty-five pounds brings 12 cents
less than standard price.
Fifty-four pounds brings 16 cents
less than standard price.
Fifty-three pounds brings 50
cents less than standard.
