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

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

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

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-

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."

ripen under ground, such as potatoes,
carrots, parsnips, are heat producing,
while those that ripen above ground are
cooling. The latter, including aspar-

eaten in summer time.
