THE FARMING BUSINESS.
St Mae Two Ends—The Home and the Hare
ke ting End.
Upon the welfare of the farrnerS of Can-
ada, depends the prosperity of the Province
of Ontario and of this Dominion 'Which we
love so well. Everybody sap so, and many
of them say it with a feeling of ,k enerous
good nature, that they have paid a compli-
ment to the farmer in._ thus elevating his
calling. ,„The importance of agricelture in
Canada is prime, it stands first. It stands
first, because all other industriea in the
-col.mtres are very sensitive to the condition
of the farmer. If he be experiencing hard
tunes, every other industry and interest,
suffers and is depressed. When the farmer
has good thnes, every other induStry and
interest is bounding with prosperitY. The
farmer's success collies .mainly from good
crops, and good crops come mainly from
rod. cultivation, good managemennand good
weather. The farmer can control two of
th'
ese and in the third we are moth bounti-
fullydea/t, with than moat countries in the
world, in point of Weather favorable for the
growing of large crops, of fine quality. Still,
I ani not to detain you on these aspects of
the farmer's business to -day, but on the
marketing end of his calling. It has been
very often my privilege to meet representa-
tive gatherings of farmers, to discuss with
them some aspect of their own business. It
has not required any conscious effort on my
part to refrain from discussing the question
of markets, near or far off. I have not felt
called upon to give utterance to almost, a
single sentence of direction or advice to the
farmer concerning the market end of his
business. 1 have been trying to direct the
farmer's attention to the home end ot his
' business, the end where his profits are
mainly made. The profits are mainly made
'within the sphere of the man's business,
where he can exercise appreciable jurisdic-
tion and control; and the market end of a
man's businsss is subject to the influence
and is under the control of all the producers,
as well as the buyers, in the wide world.
In my humble judgment, public speakers,
the press politicians and other leaders and
teachers of the people, have directed the at-
tention of the farmers all too often and
much too empbatically to the marketing end
of their business. That rnischievous course
has resulted in leaving on the minds ofmany
farmers an impression that a market, the
market, every market, has some sort of per-
sonal, self contained existence, in fact,
that a, market is to the farrner of Canada
what a deity or devil was to the heathen,
.some external power or existence that could
bring happy deliverance or wreak dire de-
struction at mere caprice. A market has
no such power, has no such functions, has
no such existence. Some of the farmers
have been even further misguided, insofar
as they have been lead to imagine that the
market, a market, any market, can be
charmed into sweet serving by the wand of
politicians, or case be chased away beyond
touching, tasting, handling or seeing, by
their edict of hostility. The markets for
farm products—and the moons—are in some
measure, amenable to the edicts of some
politicians.—Prof. Robertson; Dairy Com-
rnissioner.

basket every time, inside of the granary,
- and between the two ropes the basket re-
turns out of the window automatically.
This enables one man to stand on the
ground and put a large number of baskets
of grain out of sight in a very few minutes.

of. pears; in 1840 its yield ths 140 bushels.

In reference to the early plant4 g of Pears
in this country Mr. Charles Gibb says,
"The French settled in Illinbis about 1085,
and there are grand old French pear trees
now growing on the sites of their settle-
ments, and on the Detroit elver there are
trees eight, or nine feet in girth and 70 to te0
feet high. The old tradition say l that they
were brought from Normandy or Provence
to Montreal, from there to Detroit."
The varieties of pears in int,)st general cul-
tivation on this continent i iat the present
times, may be roughly divided into tsvo
classes—the first summer and fall fruits and
of American origin ; the s4hond fall and
winter fruits and of Europdan produetion.

Electric welding ha i now become almost
universal in large establishments. The use
of a flux is necessary. Electricity is used
for making forgings, augers, railroad spikes,
ball bearings and other articles hitherto

A Frenchman has been experimenting
with a new electric boat whieh has two
side wheels with hollow rims to act as
floats, and, vanes like a mill wheel. At the
stern there is a smaller wheel to steer by.
The boat is driven by means of motors.
The influence of forests in protecting the
water supply is well .illustrated in the case
of Greece. In ancient days she possessed
7,500,000 acres of forest. To -day she hail
hardly 2,000,000 acres, and the scarcity of
water and other injurious climatic effects
are traceable to the derstructiort of the trees.
Cyclones originated in the tropics, and
are chiefly found in five localities: The
West Indies, Bengal Bay and the Chinese
coast, north of the equator, and in the
South Indian Ocean, off .1%.,1adagascar, and
the South Pacific, near Samoa. In the

A new preparation has heed introduced
in Feence for the purpose of replacing India
rubber and gutta percha. The ingredients
• are Manilla, gum, bitumen and benzine, to
which is added a small percentage of resin
oil. The product is said to have all the
suppleness, elasticity, selidity and dur-
ability hf the best India rubbers, and can
be vulcanized in the usual manner.
Pieces of natural iron have been found in
Arizona, near the Canon Diablo3 which pos-
sess an extraordinary hardness, and contain
small cavities which are filled with a black

be eatimated at a total of 458,000,000 of

other words a fourteenth of the productive
energy of the country is devoted to this

head of the population in 188940 gave the
following figures :—wine, 6,44 liters; dis-

the Empire may be traced directly to drink.,
