SEAFORTH, FRIDAY, Nov. , 27, 1891. Eggs and Butter in En The Edinburgh Scotsman of a r has the following item which vvi terest to Canadian readers. It sa land. cent date 1 be of in - 8 : "The McKinley tariff, although it has had many bad, has at least had one in this country. It has opene sonrce of supply for eggs. Can are now reaching England in large and, it appears, with satisfactor the exporters, one shipper havi thousencl pounds on a recent co ood effect up a new dian eggs uantittes, results to g made a' signment. Most of the eggs which now come here would have gone into the States, but th McKinley tax of 20. per dozen effectual y excludes them froin the American market To those interested in the question of tran it cherges, it, wait be surprising to hear that ggi can be bsought from Cenada to Great Britain at one penny less freight per doze than from France -a difference which, no doubt, has contributed largely to the dem nd by the dealers for Canadian supply. oesibly the SUCCUBI of the eggstrade may in uce seine of the Dominion farmers to try th ix hands at butter. Some experimental shi ments were formerly made, but the quality is so abom- ioably bad tbat the batter wa ilmcst un marketeble. What is wanted i panada is au exteesion of the creamery sy tem, by co- operation or otherwise. Witho t it there is not much hope of farmers obta ning a lsrge market for dairy produce in this creuntry." Alth-ough our conteinporary presents only the bright side of the picture and while it gives one instance of large profits made, it does not take acoonnt of the shipments that have been mai() this season and that re- sulted in almost an entire bees to the ship- pers. Yet it must be gratifying lo Canadians to know that on the whole a fai ly remuner- ative market has been found in 'hirland and t Scotland for Canadian eggs. the many difficulties and prejudices which i first pre- sented themselvea are now beir 'overcome by the superior character of th !Canadiar l. article and the energy and enter rhie of the Canadian shippers. On acconna f, this mar- ket, therefore, opening out as f +Drably as it has, the evil results of the MoKinley bill will nat be sa severely felt as Wonld other- wise have been the case. This is not saying, however, that the old country m rket is as good or as profitable a market to the United States would be Minns fer it is not. And favorable sell in as the duty, as prices have been for the past seasen, they would have been much higher but for the McKinley bill, even ilia the old country arket not been discevered. We notice by he market reports in" the Empire of Tuesda last that while egga in Toronto are quote4 at from 17 cents to 18 cents, they are quoted at 28 cents in New York. There is no such rela- tive difference, expenses consider4d, between pricea obtainable in the best ld country markets and those prevailing he e, as there is between our prices and the peces in New York, thus showing that, af er all, the American is much the more pro table mar- ket if it could be got at, and if 't were not for the barrier raised up betwe n us and it by the McKinley bill. But, in the mean- time, and under tale circumstan es, it is ex- tremely fortunate for us that he Britith markets have turned out 80 favor bier. With free trade between this caunt y and the United States we would be still more favorably situated, because we ould have both noarkete and we could pla ne against the other. What the Scotsman seys shoot the butter trade very true and should e taken to heart and acted upon hy our Canadian farmers. As soon as Canada is &tile to sup- ply a quality of butter to meet the best de- mand in the old country, there avi 1 be found there an almost unlirnited marke . But to meet the requirements of that tr de it must be of better quality and more niform in grade than bee hitherto been pro uced here, and those qualities, as is stated an only be secured through co-operation an he cream- ery system. Here, also, free ace ss to The markets of our neighbors woul e as bene- ficial to us as in the matter f eggs, It would, to use the memorable olds of Can- ada's late Premier, " give us t o strings to our bow." For a grade of bu t r such as that required in the old count y, we would find an almost unlimited de a d in the large American cities, conve t to our doors, so that instead of haring but one good customer for our butte aed eggs we would have two and could t ea take our choice. , = THE Canada Presbyterian ve y truly re- marks " There is nothing in this world that 0.-Ves a man pre-eminence as quickly as the gift of eloquence," and citi g Ron.

It is true that the art of public speeking 's, to a certain'extent, a natural gift, biit it equally true that very much can be dono by judicious culti- vation. ----- Combines an Their Cure. Another monster a ricultural implement manufactering "combin. tion has been formed. A couple ef months go it was announced that the lassey Com auy, of Toronto, had ebsorbed the Sawyer C mpaey, of Hamilton., Shortly afterwards the announcemeet was made of the amalgat Sawyahconcern with of Brantioid. Then amalgarnaltion of the ation of the Massey - he Harris Company, ame the news of the irisner Cempany, of Brantford,: and the Patterson Company, of Woodetock. Now, the stetement has gone forth on authority that Ithe Wisner -Patterson com,bination has beea. absorbed by the Maasey-Birris concernl, and -that the whole mammoth combinatio is tb- be worked under the one mane ement with head- quarters et Toronto. What title result of this combination will be on the implement trede of the ,country, it it impossible at present to say. ' One re- sult is likely to be thetlall the timelier estab- lishments will either ibe swallowed up by the larger one, or else ,hey will be driven t outef the trade in eons, other way and that in a few y ara the large concerti will have a monopoly f the imp ement trade of -the country, tuft as') the Pennsylvania Oil monopoly of the oil COmpany row have trade of the United tates. It is claimed by those interested tha't this concentration of eapital will result ih decreased running expenses and consequett better implements at lower prices. We linpe this will be the result, but we must ccinfess that we are ex- tremely sceptical on this point. It has not hitherto been the practice of huge mono- polies to nee their powers in this way. How- ever, the farmers, whol are tbe consumers or users of tbe implemants heve the matter , entirely in their own hands, There is noth- ing that wiladestroy Monopoly to quickly as competition. Let th4 farmers declare. for universal free trade 4tnd force their legit'- , 1 . lators to adoat that principle and then they need not fear monopoly in any form. Free trade will soon break down the strongest combination that May exist. The farmers can have it whenever they like to ask for it. They have the voting power to get it and the only thing that prevents them from se- curing it is internal strifes and divisions. Universal free trade and direct texation i would give Canada such a iroom as it has never enjoyed before. : It would put money in the pockets of the learners aod work people, while it would starve out the bood lers and ari,tocratic e#ekere and loafers. To secure thisave do Lot aeed to consult Uncle Sam, John Ball or anY other foreign power. All we have to do is to command our own Parliame t and don& it must be. We can is have it next seseion if we only ask for it. Why then should we hot have it ? Will any person even - attempt to give a reason ? We shall be pleased to famish any person who thinks heecan do so, With reiteonable space to ventilate pis views; - Huron's l'opulation. Timhomplete cena+ returns for Huron have been piiblished in the Government re- turns and are as follows :- t HURON' EAST. _ 1871 Myth Brussels • • Grey I 2,855 Howick ...5,417 Morris ..3,952 Turnberry I. 3,201 Wingham Wroxeter ....... ....i 1881 911 1,280 4,577 5,615 3,816 3,010 1,918 590 1891. 927 1,204 4,022 4,413 3.253 2,452 2,167 564 16,425 21,720 18,968 HURO., SOUTH.

In the South Riding there was a falling off of 2,807 or total decrealie in the three ridingii of 14,051. T -he actual differ- ence, however, is not o great as these figures indicate, as 'n 1881 th townships of Stephen and Usborn and the illage of Exeter were included in the South tiding whereas now ileborne is ip South P rth and the other two in North Middlesex f r Dominion election purpoSee. resent rat • of going there is AT THE every prospect that be ore the next session of the Dominicn Par lament there will be next thing to a genera electione The elec- tion conrta are maki g many blanks, and the end is not yet. A the present writing there aredlirteen vac nt constituencies, of which seven were repr eented by Conserva- tives and Isix by Re rrners. The vacant constituencies are ; Khegston, Lincoln, Hal- ton, South Perth, Eon Simeoe, East Bruce, 'Laval, Montmorency, Quebec West, Riche- lieu, Queen's, Victor a and Kings. The three last named are i Nova Scotia,. All these vacanicies with t e exception of Kings- , ton and Quebec Wes were occasioned by the election courts. he last victim is Mr. Truax, the Reform r presentative of East Bruce. T e cause of his discomfiture was that Mr. arter, a me chant of Teeswater, testified th t he had h red a livery team on election da , with wh eh voters were taken to the poll n the hitt, est of Mr. Truax, and that he did so withou knowing that he was . violating the law. Ilse judges voided 'the . election on this charge with general coots ' to the petitioner. The North Perth election again engaged -tile attention of the Cetirt Friday and Satarday last. All the caarge.: against Mr. Grieve, the sitting member,were either dismissed or dropped except the Grand Trunk Reilway ticket case, and one far treating by an agent. The judges will give their decision on these two at Toronto on Monday next. The evidence shows that tae North...Perth election was a geed deal more pure than elections usually are on either aide. The only thing that there is likely to be any difficulty over is the railway ticket business. And if the election is voided on this account it will shove a very etrange anoinaly in the law. To ray that a railway company can carry voters by the carload OVer their lines free, and set them down at stations by the way to vote for ciatediclatee favored by the said Company, as the Can- adian Pacific Railway did, Without violating the law, and that to purchaie tickete from a Coinpany,and furnish them gratis to voters,is a violation of the lareis ,an absurdity which, if it exists, cannot be too seen remedied. . THE ceremony of laying the corner stone of the new city and county building in To- ronto took place on Saturday last. The contract price of this new structure is $1,600,000, of which amourrt the County cf York is to pay one-sixth. It is expected, however, that before the work is completed the contract price will be swelled to over two million dollars. Notwithstanding the fact that the property ownere aro groaning under the burden oVhcievy taxes, and that there are over 7,000 vacant houries and 3,000 vacant staree in the city, I the authorities, judging by tae city buildiogs 'they propose erecting, have unbounded confidence in the future. Referring to the progress which the city has made during the past half cen- tury, the Globe says : " Our population, which was 13,420 in 1844, is now more than ten times as great. The assessment of the city hasgrown in the earne perioi from $400,000 to $146,860,785. With this pro- gress hal come an increase in our expenses.; our debenture debt, which was $151,489, is now $16,112,429, and onr taxes have grown in proportion. We. h&ve frequently eaid, aed shall continue to say, that debt and tat- ation have grown too rapidly, but this blot' upon an otherwise splendid record we hope to see removed." Tile Toronto Telegram remarks : " All " that the Uncle Tom McGreevy-Langevin " gang did not steal out of the Dominion " treesury will be gobbled up in law ccste " when the nation comes to settle with B. B. " Osier, Q.C., for prosecuting its !wenn- " drels." That is about so. During the late session of Parliament Mr. Osier was paid the Bung sum of $4,000 for his services in looking after the interests of the Public Works department during the MeGfeevy- Connolly investigation before the Privileges and Elections committee, and about all he did for his money was to " heckle " Owen Murphy and keep him from telling all he knew about Governmental crookedness. This took him about a week. At the open- ' ing of the recent enquiry before the Ottawa Police Magistrate, where Mr. Osier again represents the Government, he said the pre- liminary proceedings would occupy fifteen or twenty days. If this is the case and judging from the remuneration he received for hie services on the former oceasion, it might perhaps be as well, as the Telegram suggestss to hand over to Mr. Osler the entire revenuti of the Domipion while he is in Government employ and let him run 'his chances of get- ting suitable remuneration ont of it. Whim a lawyer gets hold of a Government teat it is not very easy choking him off, and Mr Osler is, evidently, no exception to the gen- eral rule. ACCORDING to a statement in a New York paper, Owen E. Murphy, lately of the cone tracting firm of Larkin, Connolly & Co., and who, along with Mr. Robert McGreevy, decamped from Quebec a few.weeks ago, haa now taken up bis residence in New York city. With his family he occupies an ele' gant residence on Upper Madison avenue ,Mr. Robert McGreevy is also located iri New York. Mr. Murphy says be has not yet formed any plans for the future, and he is not in any hurry as he is "not yet brok by any means." He told the reporter tha if it had I not been for the unfortunate quarrel between the brothers McGreevy and the connollys over the spoils, the firm woul have had possesition of the Canadian Pacifi railway in a short time ; they would have had Sir Hector Langevin premier of Cana4 and would have had the free run of the country. He is not • done with Canada yet, however, and hopes to come back again and sedum another grip on affairs after the pre- serk troubles blow over. It is not likely that his expectations in this latter respedt will be fulfilled. Canada has had enough f Mi. Murphy and it is well rid of him. f she could only get rid of a few others of h kidney as easily ehe might feel more re- ! liekred. th Government of commendation. In short, th t ihe innocent Government have been the vi time of the cunning; depraved and dis- he est Opposition. There are few men who ea put a good faCe upon a bad cause better th n Sir John. In reading hi sPeech also, one w uld be led to believe if he did not know better, that his colleag e, the Pest - M ster-General, was one of r e moat item- ce t and virtuous men and that he was being persecuted on account of his hone ty and virtue and that his other colleague, r. Chapleau, is a self-sacrificing ,patriot who remains in office much against his incliba- ti ns and interest, simply that he may serve h e beloved CotIntfy, and that I, the utinost unanimity and brotherly love ptevail in the cteinet. Tho other speeches possessed no a ecial merit and gave forth nothing new.

This decision, it seems, was artiived at some time ago, prior o the Cork eleption, but in the event of John'a success there he had promised to aba don his in- tention of going to Australia an remain in Ireland. His defeat,eof course freed him froM this promiee, and ho has hied himself off., It seems that -John has recently mar - 1 ried a wealthy ledy of Melbourbe, and it is rePorted haagone there and will practise laW, and that his brother William will be aesociated with him. John , represented North Wexford, which he reeigbed to con- , test Cork, and William is thel member for North Fermanagh. The letter' may not re- sigetv but both constituenciem will at the general elections, now not more than a year off at furthest' be easily °Apt red by the McCarthyites. The removal f the Red- moeds from Ir land will likely be the death blow to the Pa neil party. John Haggart, Postmaster -General, evis entertained at a complimentary banquet by' hiei constituents of Lanark, at the town of Perth, 00 Thursday of last week. The dent- onstration was largely attended, was a very. brilliant affair, and judging from reports evils eminently satisfactory to all who took pa4 in it. Besides Mr. Haggett hiniself thre were present no fewer than six cabinet ministers, each of whom, of course, delivered an, address: The only speech of importance, hoiwever, was that of Sir John Thompson.

They will puss an act freeing the eepporters of separate schools from the pay- ment of public school rates, but will not make any provision for the support of separate schools. If this can be done the Prevince will be freed froni the responsi- bility of contributing to th4 support cif these schools and thosewho use them will have to maintain thern out of their own private funds. ..IIAT good old paper, the Montreal Wit- ne s, never uttered a greater traism than the following : By far the best policy for Canada would be one of immediate free et trade with the world, and that policy would do much to re-createold ties with the Mother Cquntry, which have been severed or loosen- ed! by protection. In doing s she would only anticipate, the action .of the United States, which is being impelled toward Free Trade by circumstances beyond her own control, and mice the United States adopts free trade, Canada could not Maintain pro tection for a day. *. THE Toronto Telegram sereastically re- marks : "A aorruptioniet, aceording to the party organs, is aoy member af the other prirty who may be unseated, While 'an un- fortunate gentletnan ' is one cif the organ's own friends, who, with the help of the jUdges falls oat of his seat." _ IT is eviden that the editoe of the Dun- das Banner is not a judge of g od music, for h says : " The new Highlan , regiment in T route is previded with both drummers a d pipers, and it is said that when they b gin to play the street car ihorses try to clanb into the cars and hide under the scats." 11111=11M.

Sheep. - 109,150 32,042 1888990 . . 123,136 43,572 85.670 59,334 i 60,504 45,528 64,631 36,027 1888 1887 - 1 Thadecrease in cattle amounts to 13,986 head, due td generel causes -the offerings of Irish cattle were large and a large number of 'Cauadian stockers wae sent over. Amoagst the most prominent ship- pers were :--elohn Crowe, 20,729 ; J.Eakins, 13,886 ; Aikene, Flanagan & Bickirdike 13,274 ; Conghlin & Green, 8,175 ; Gold- smith & Motris, 6,178 ; Thompson & Sheri dun, 2,975 e Brown & Snell, 2,462 ; And- rews, & Crawford, 2,408 ; J. & E. Groff, 2,224 ; Dunn & Frankland, 1,919. The ex- penditure for the needs of the traffic was about voomo ; between 81,750 000 and $2,000,000 in freight and about $250,000 in railroad °images. The value of the cattle and sheep exported was about $7,000,000 according toi customs returns. The losses this season •are below those of last year, being about 1,300, but further lostes on the ships now put are not unlikely. Last season camel in competition with Canadian fat cattle, limd the, offerings of American cattle were !large. Under these circum- stances Canadaien shippera often found, after paying riop to 75s freight the balance on the wrong side. Liverpool was bad from the first of 'July to the end of the season, London being only a trifle better.. Trade was fair in Glesgow until the middle of Sep- tember, but very bad since. Much money was lost in May and June at Dundee and Aberdeen, bet about the first of July busi• nese began to improve, and made money for shippers Op to the middle of October. Since that tirne loesee have been heavy, and the profits have been wiped out. On the whole the -season has been a most disaetrous one, and very few ehippers have made any money. The purchases of the Americans early in the season caused considerable excitement among feeders who held on to their cattle till late in the season for high prices. WIT it wail known definitely that they were n t going to make any purehases of importance outside of distillere, the farm- ers showed more aoxiety to sell and came down in their views. The decrease 'n sheep shipments is due to the bad markete, 1par- ticularly in Liverpool, the ehipment tO that part showing a markled decline. Another carrespoadent says : . One of the i most eventful years in the history of th live stock trade of hee Do- minion of anada is the season of 1891, which closed on Saturday, when he last shipment of 1 ve stock to leave Mon real this year went on in the eteamship La e Win- nipeg. White this year has turned out dis- appointing, not only in a financial, ut also in a statistical way, the trade d ring the past few years has extended so rapi ly and has assumed tuch enormous proport ons that exporters we e perhaps justified n their confident belief that this season ould see another increase in the number of animals exported in Porportion to previous i creases. Such, however has not been the e perience of the year, and, far from increa ing, the live stock export trade actually sho s a de- preciation. This year the exporte of live cattle from Montreal were 109,1 4 head, against 123,636 head for the same p riod last year, a fal nig off of 14,442 head These who were ex ecting the total ship ents to reach 150, cattle this year are a ittle dis- appointed a this result, but th reason therefor may be summed up in two words -bad markete. The same cause is responsi- ble for a decrease of 11,330 in th export of sheep, the figures this year eing 32,042 against 43,372 head during the season of . 1890. The figures given above i rega,rd to cattle hardly show 'the total xports from Canada this year, as some 2,500 and 3,000 head of Canadise cattle which ere export- ed to the Oki Country by the United States ms,ke the total a little larger, al hough still behind kat year. The year opened up pretty actively, although some f these who had met with heavy losse.s last season were diepesed to operate rather cau iously. It or was expected that thi:i 'feeling o the part of the exporters would have made the prias of cattle low in the country, but this hope IR was dispelled so soon as buying commenced in eernest. ' The event more tha anything else that helped to advance priceis was the purchase by two large Amertcan xporters of most of the -distillery cattle, almo t 10,000 in number, held in the country. Th Americans paid a very geol figure for these attle, and on the deal becoming public bt ek raisers immediately advanced prices on t mil' stock. Only one firm did not sell the r distillery cattle to the Americans, and this Inn reaped the benefit of their refusal in the large profit they made on their animals when they were sold in England. To the Ame icans their speculation ended most dieastrou ly, They lost a largenum of money on thei contle,and it is not thought probable" that th y will op- erate in Canada next year. Th financial results of the season are hardly et known to the exporters, but up to date any in the trade have:lost _money both on st rck ere and fat cattle. The last tnonth ha. peen an especially bad one, aud the ma raiets on the other side at the present time are in such a, condition that there is little hope of there being any improvement this year. ............p Some Pointers for Farmers. • &ritten for The Expositor.) As %linter is on, Ilia is the time to care for c -o eel if the owners are going o make a profit this season or next. Illilk c ws should have been in the stables at nig ts during the last month and a half to keep the fiow of milk up. It is the milk that mat4es the pro- fit, and every cow should milk tstn months t oat of the twelve. Cows well f d in the early winter will rave feed in t e spring, and cattle always fail most in th firet of the winter. Aliso, cows milking should be curried and brushed every day an the sta- bles cleaned every morning befor milking. Manure should not be allowed t accumu- late on the cowe hips and udders, Half the milk obtained during the time cows are stabled is. tainted from this aims°. Of Course milk with this offensive 'taste may make good butter and be paletaale to the users of tobacco or spirits, but ale all butter eaters are not of these classes the taint has a very strong tendency to deprecia e the value of the butter. Cows tied in bt ntials can be kept cleaner than any other way, and it is the safest way of tying and ju t as com- fortable for the animal. Now, a so is the time to feed calves well that ha e been fed the milk of a cow all summer. t is a poor plan to feed a calf twenty dollar worth of milk during the summer and let t lose it all i in a couple of months in winter. Now for some proofs on my la t letter on pigs : I bought five Berkshire gs on the 27th of August, weighing 505 lb ., and on the 9th of November they we' hed 1,000 lin, and dressed 150 lbs. each. hey gaived nearly one and a -half pounds e ch a day, and a fat pig weighing from 200 o 250 lbs. It live weight will dress aboet 50 bs. lees , if fasted twelve hours. Professor obinson, of the Dominion Experimental Fart , stated at the banquet at Listowel two we ks ago that pigs well kept until 'six weeks o d will gain, if well fed, three pounds a week To make_ a profit on hogs or cattle they want to be kept fat all along until fit for t e butcher. If a man wishes to keep them f r ornament instead of profit and tikes to hav them run- ning around squealing, the bette way is to feed them only a little. A pig an be kept for a year and not gain twenty- ve pounds on the same feed that would m ke it gain 100 lbs. in two months. We have some patrons in the Winthrop Che se Factory whose cows have given 3,000 las. 411 -milk in five months, and others whose' cows only gave about 1,000 lbs., and yet, f the latter were selling, they would say th er had the best cows in the country.

We notice considerable discu sion of late in our agricultural journals as t the style ef hog most suitable for our pres nt market. Some writers continue to uph Id our old stand-by the Berkshire, while others en- deavor to boom the improved large York- shire. Each breed is endowed ith desira- ble characteristics, yet each is haracterized by peculiarities wbieb it wo Id be better without. In the Berkshire we ha e a compact preciates its value in t e market of to -day. It and consequently easi y fitted h g,but the su- perabundance of fat a d shortn s of side de- muet aleo be admitted that the ows of that breed are not as - prolific as th Berkshires of former years. To this there may be same . exceptioiis, but experience . and observation go to sho that the first litter from yhung Ber shire sows generally consist of from three o five pigs, and afterwaras they may reach as high as eight or ten ,at each farrowin . This lute been our- experience and we elieve many others have found it to be the s me. The Yorkshire, in - contreatt tae Berk- shire, gives us a long,'deep's de, with the fat and lean well intermixed, and this is the kind of pork now desired. M . Davis, of Toronto, will pay more for YO shire pork then for any other coming on he market. In the case of thelYorkshire -ag in, it must be admitted that their length f body and, in many instances, coarsenes of frame structure renders them eomewh t less easily fitted than the Berkshire. In r gard to the reproductiveness of the Yorksh re, they are certainly one of the most pr lific of the breeds of swine, giving birth to litters large in number and uniform in size. I know of an importation of Yorkshires onsisting in all of five young sows, and at t.. e first far- rowing the smallest litter nu u hered eight, others going as high as ten and twelve, We have now a young sow from a I tter of six- teen. In the illustration of th November number of the Live Stock Jou nal, we no- tice a sow, the property of Mr. J. E. Brethour, Oak Lodge, Burfo d, Ontario, that, when two years and ten months old, had given birth to 60 pigs, and in February last farrowed a litter of 19 pigs, These are simply instances showirig the ecundity of this breed, a.nd in looking at hog raising from' a financial standpoint th number of pigs in the litter is certainly a very impor- tant item.
