HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Huron Expositor, 1878-04-26, Page 66 Oatmeal smd the National Policy. Those national poliey men exhibit -great stupidity who venture to descend to details in advocating their scheme. They should all follow the exanaple set them by their noble chieftain, who so cleverly generalizes his treatment of the subject that his late resolution was voted for by Western Tories because it was a highly -protective one, and by Mr. Pope, of , Prince Edward Ieland, because it waa an- absolute free trade one. There is genius in fro:eying a policy of this kind—one that promises the country a fifty per cent. tariff and no tariff at all, at one andthe same mo- ment. But all the party is not as wise—or as cunning and trieky—as its leader, so that we find members of it occasionally Bo far -forgetting themselves as to get into, the region: of facts and figures, though when they do so they almost in 'variably come to grief. The latest sam- ple of this kind of folly is furnished by the Galt Reporter, a very strong Tory Protectionist journal. In its last issue it said : We very much ree6ret that our townsmen, B. P. Slater and WalterFord, are about to leave us, . they having entered into partnership to carry on the oat meal business in Joliette, Illinoie, These two gentlemen have been pushing, energetic men whilst amongst us, and we do not doubt will do well in their new venture. Nevertheless, we grudge their leaving tie, and deplore the fact that the?, could not find Canada a safemarket in which to establiah the btedneea they are going into. They claim that by establiehing there they get ail the American and. English Markets, and, should they desire it, the Canadian also, free of duty; while, if they located in Canada, they were excluded Irani the American market, and got eimply our home market and the English, and were subject at all times, ae home producersi to Americeu competition, all they intend to menu' facture being admitted free of duty iato Can- ada.. Their view of this matter is sufficient to drive them over the border, as it Is doing hun- dred? of other enterprising Canadians, and we are by no uterine alone In regretting the loss of good citizens. This is very distressing, or at least -it would be so, were it not that our sta- tisticshow that the very reverse of the picture, drawn; by the unhappy Galt, newspaper, is tlae true one. Instead of Yankee oatmeal entering Canada to play havoc with our industry, we ex- port of that article to the States more thartedouble that we import from it, and we export of it altogether some five times more than we iinport. Here are the figures for 1876-7: 1 Total exports of oatmeal from Canada... $115,351 " anaports " by Canada.... 27,302 Balance in our favor. ..... ........ $88,049 It is worthy of notice in this respect that we export considerably to Scotland itself, witiob is pre-emMently the land. of oatmeal. Next come the figures of onr oatmeal trade with the States alone, whieh ia as follows : Exports of -oatmeal from thmada to the Status ........... . . ........ $48,753 Importof oatmeal by Canada from the States 20,290 Balance in our favor. $28,463 Those figures refer to the oat- meal trade of all Canada. with the States. But the Galt oatmeal emi- grants ilare, of course, chiefly inter- ested hi the relations of Ontario to the States in the matter. Well, here are the Sures: - Exports of oatmeal from Ontario to the fitate s . ... . ... . ....... $47,230 Imports of oatmeal by Ontario from the . States..... ... . ..... 2,298 tensely states them without a 'faltering tone: if his vision were a little wider, some of his statements would be less positive, and his preaching would. have less dower over the great majority of his hearers. To be a great reformer, whether in politics or rel-nion„ a man must not know too ma.ny things., • • Early G-arden. Crops. Of early grown crops, if one has a -warm soil, radishes -make one of the most profitable as demanding little ex- pense except the bunching, which is ne- cessary only when you are sure of your crop and a sale for it. • It usually finds large sale at a good price, if very early, and is often raised as a stolen. crop. An- other advantage is the,, quick returns seCured, the crop being raised and mar- keted. in from 40 to 60 days. Onions, year in and year cut, probab- ly yield the most profit of any garden but shoullit never be undertaken in large amounts at first, nor even upon a small scale if the ground is poor or 'weedy. New ground one or two years dean till- ed is especially, favorable, and along with this, if the grower,hasau. inborn 'hatred of weeds he is `pretty sure of a crop. On cool soils well tilled, early peas are a good crop, but provision must be made to have an abundance of pickers whenever wanted. It is also removed. from the ground in time to allow of pick- ing men -gibers, late cabbage, late roast- ing ears of corn, or turnips, and by aid by planting between the rows, fine crops of melons or squash can be grown after them. Early cabbage pay well when well till- ed on a very rich ground, but rapt be- ginners -err in attempting at first to grow largely of early cabbage and late celery, two of -the most difficult crops to grow, and demanding the largest outlay and risk. Earlv beets for bunching are usually in free demand, and pay well,having no pests, and safe for a late crop should. they reiSs the early market. But the grower must remember they arabulky, and it takes a -great many wagon loads to realize $100. Early potatoes in • every market are sure of a demand and one of our surest crops. EconornicaLly managed it al- ways yields a fairer Profit, and often a very large one. Mulching with manure, tol be plowed. Tinder for the second crop insures a good_ yield, and being all avail- able for the other crop really cots the potatoes nothing. Sweet corn usually pays well if brought into the market very late,but it is so easily raised that in the season the glut drives the priceto a low figure. But it is profitable hog and. stock feed, even While green; feed. stocks and all,so there never need be any loss upon it. Balance in flayor of Ontario $44,732 That is, Ontario exports about twenty-two times as much oatmeal to the States as it imports from it, and. yet the Reporter tells us these Galt emigrants are going to the States bemuse of its greater exporting facili- ties. If the Galt gentlemen in question are really going to the States because they think they can export to Canada from there nore than they can export to the States from here, they are evidently mistaken, and are grossly ignorant of the trade current in the business they are undertaking. They would have done ranch better had they sat down and studied our trade statistics in this respect, than have hurriedly rushed off to the States in pursuit • of a shadow; and the Galt Reporter would have per- formed. ita functions as a journal better had it shown. to them the error of their caleulations, instead of sitting down in the dust and throwing ashes on its head, because of their departure ort -a wild goose chase. But it is one of the peculiarities of Tory Protectionist jour- nalists that they feel much more de- light In heralding anything that can operate injuriously to Canada, thaa they feel it their clay to epee the eyes of such as these intending oatmeal emi- grants to the -delusion they are laboring under that they can do better in the States than here. -‘ Interesting as all this is, as an exhi- bition of the foolishness Tory journals are guilty of when they venture on de- tails itt order to make a point itt favor of that marvel of absurdity and contra- diction, their " National Policy," there is something more foolish behind. The complaint --utterly unfounded as it is as the figures show—of our Galt con- temporary is, that our oatmeal manu- facturers are not proteoted from States rivalry. Well, what does ale National! Policy provide for ? No less ingenious an aid to oatmeal manufacturers than a tax on oats—the raw material used in the manufacture of that article. Either the tax would raise the price of oats iu Canada or it would not. If it would not, then the farmer would reap no benefit from the duty, and, therefore, that feature of the national. policy is a hufebugging trick, enaplo-y0d to rope far- mers into the general scheme for high taxes and the abolition of our trade with foreign countries. If it did raise the price of oats, then our oatmeal menu- facturera weuld be weighed down in their efforts to sell in foreigu markets, and their export trade to Great Britaiu and the States would be killed ; their business would deerease, and theignera chases from Cana.dian -fterinen--; grow less in proportion as the tax on their raw material crippled their manufac- turing power. The tax whether effec- tive itt raising prices or not would bur- den all engaged in the trade, and. be a substantial benefit to no oue—and to the farmer least of all, for it would not only Inirt his ease again marked -for the sale of oats to millers, but it is the raw material to him in cattle feeding just as it is the raw material to the Miller in oatmeal inaking.—Hctmittun Timm The "Mulley" Breed. In California, and elsewhere the use- lessness of horns on cettle•in a domesti- cated state is being strongly urged. Mr. •\*. Clayk, Denver, Colorado, whose herd is of the hornless type, thinks that the latter is sure to prevail in this country ie. the 'end. Hero are his rea- sons: 1. Horns were given to cattle to be used in fighting—to enable them to de- fend themselves against dangerous ene- mies. For this purpose they are of value upon wild cattle. Domestic cattle have ncevaluable use for them. 2. The horns upon domestic cattle are used mostly in goring and injuring each other. All injuries to animals are paid for in their diminished growth, or di- minished. flesh, or increased amOunt of food consumed. 3. The expense of growing the horns is'equal to the expense of a like weight in meat, and they are good_ for noth- ing. 4. Horns are mere dead weight upon the heads of the cattle, and the expense of carrying them about and warming a,nd supplying their waste is paid for in the food consumed,or thedinainished weight of the animal. Injuries are Continually inflicted by cattle, by the use of their hornatipon other animals as well as upon the hu- man DICE. What Makes Bow Legs. Bow -logs and knock-knees are among the commonest deformities of human- ity, and wise mothers assert' that the crookedness in either case arises from the afflicted one's having been put upon his or her feet in early babyhood. But a Manchester (England) phyeician, Dr. Crompton, who has watched fOr the true cause, thinks differently. He attributes the first mentioned distortion t� a habit some youngsters delight in, of rubbing the sole of one foot against that -of the other ; some will go to sleep witls soles together. They appear to enjoy the contact only when. the feet are uaked ; they don't attempt to make it when they are socked or slippered. So the remedy is obvious: keep the baby's soles °lever- ed. Knock-knees, the doctors ascribe to a different childish habitthat of keeping on the Side with one knee tucked under the hollow behind the other. He has found that -where- oue leg has been bow- ed inward more than the other, the pa- tient has always slept on one side, and the upPermost member • has been the naost deformed. Here the preventive is to pad the inside of the knees, so as to keep them apart, and let the limbs grow freely their own way. An of which is commended to mothers who desire the physical uprightness of their progeny. The Great Walka- lg Match. At the great International walking match recently- held in London, a -cor- respendent says it was a sorry sight the last foxy hours of the week's walk. 1 Hag- gard, dazed, staggering, O'Leary, his - arms no longer knitted in pedestrian forni,and braced with muscular strength were limp_alm and -ost helpless. His .1.otasaas•-e-re swollen. Ire went his miser- able round. in evident )ain. though 15,- , 000 people cheered hii n as he se.ored '500 Miles. Vaughan haa. for two -days been ,seffering from internal disturbance of a Weakening character, and his legs were chafed Do til they were raw. He suf- fered torments, ut he went on until 7:30 on Saturday'? night,. and retired at the eolicitation c.q his friends when he had. scored 500 miles. • O'Leary at that _ time \VAS P.) /11110S ahead, and. be deter- -mMed upon makinghis record in round numbers 5.2") miles, beatings it is said, - all Ins a.clue vein en ts en both sides of the Atlantic. His pluck is undeniable., and. the vast crowdacknOwledged it in hearty demonstrations, the band playing him out of the arena to the tune of See the Conqueriug 'feta Comes.'. - O'Leruev never lacked cheering words and hearty plaudits. At the close the • THE Hu}OA tOCPut\ITOR. figureswere: O'Leary,520miles; Vaugh- an, 500 miles ; 111rown, 471 riffles, 2 laps. The other men were nowhere. Soon after O'Leary had left the hall with his friends, the , crowd could no longer be kept back by the barriers, and the match being over, the Police did not at-. tempt to resist them. They_broke into the ring, and*raixingwith the occupants of the " reserned inelosure" speedily re-, moved the "landmarks of wealth and aristocracy." Several Dukes, two or three Earls, ands many, distinguished patrons of sports rtnd pastimes were present. They did not appear to be much disturbed by the encroachment of the 'Pillion, and in a short time the hall wat3 cleared. It is understood that O'Leary will be challenged by Vaughan and other pedestrians, am.ong them his old rival, Weston, who holies shortly to be in a condition to try his fortune once more against O'Leary, now the posses- sor of the champion's belt, a handsome and well -won trophy. A Daughter Keeping Farm Ac- counts. "My daughter keeps iny farm ac- coemts, Bir; and she is as systenaatic and. particular as ever my son was, who kept them before he left home. I tell yon it does girls (and he might have add- ed boys also) good to give them some responsibility, and set them to watch- ing things about the farm and house- hold. They learn, 1 find, economy by it,- and soon discover that their old father is not, fiecessaaily, a crabbed old c-urmudgeon, because he does not loosen - his purse strings whenever they see something they happen to fancy ; for -they discover the reason why the puree should not be opened." General News Items. Vegetables, the edible parts of which ripen under ground, such as potatoes, carrots, parsnips, are heat producing, while those that ripen above ground are cooling. The latter, including aspar- agus, lettuce, peas, beans, tomatoes, corn, cnc., and all fruits should be freely eaten in summer time. —An old washer woman once would. hang her clothes to dry on the railings of a church; after repeated prohibitions from the church wardens, she at last came out_ with the following burst of eloquence : "Lor' bless ye, sir, ye would not go and take the bread out of my mouth, would ye? 'Sides, sir, cleanli- ness wines next to godliuess, parson says. —Jane Gray Swisshelm, who is now inveighing bitterly against the panta- loons of mau, affirins and deposes that she never saw a man yet who could stoop down until he had hitched up his trowsers atthe knees; from this the une sophisticated girl infers that We tee as -badly tied. back as are our sisters and wives. Oh, Jane! you giddy young thing - That isn't it; that hitchis to keep them from bagging at the knees. A tranger who applied at a house in the vicinity of Quebec for some slight favor, the other day, was met by an old gentleman, 85 years of acre, who hesi- tated for a moment and then said : "Pll go and ask father." Presently he re- turned. with his father, Paul Leonard, who is asserted to be 107 years old. The latter owns all the property, and looks after it, and gives his son orders as to what he is to do', and the son obeys as &duti- ful child should. —Much excitement has been caused at Ilfracombe by the disappearance of two young ladies, aged. 15 and 17, the daughters of one of the wealthiest and best known residents of the town. It • -was found some days ago that they had left the house ever night in company with one of the female domestic servants and inquiries throughout North Devon have hitherto- proved fruitless. They had only six sovereigns in their posses- sion. Grand Trunk Railway.
