It is on the eurface that men are di.vided. The deeper we go down iota humo•sity, The nearer we get together. Sense shines with e double }mitre when it is set in hunihity. An able yet. humble MAD is worth a kingdom. A wise man being asked how old he was* answered, "1 am in health," and when asked bo o rich he was, replied, "lam not in debt." Free will is nottthe liberty to do whatever one likes, but tifflpewer of doiug whateeer one Deo- ought to be done, even in the face of otherwise overwhehning impuhie. There lies fteedom indeed. Remember that if the opportunity for great deeds should never come, the oppor- tunity for good deeds is renewed for you day by day. The thing for us to long for is the goodneirs,13ot the glory. Farmr John thinks when a church-inane- ber temoney for a fine tombstone(to be put up alongside a church that hasn't had a coat of paint for a quarter of a century, the questionis : How much more of the Lord's money hes he misappropriated? Mr. Spurgeon says : "You read in the Illustrated London News that so and so died worth £200,000. Don't you believe it, a man is not worth what he has when he dies. The man himself may not be worth two pence. Did you say such and such a man bad left £200,000? Yes. Well, I shall leave much more than that.

'These the world have made competitore out of men who are far renioved from each other in geographical location. At Woodstock, Ont., in the productioirof butter, I am e competitor of a man who is on the other side of the earth, in New Zealand. It wail not always so. I can take you back to little shop in Scotland to which we need to .sell butter made on the farm ; a few other farmers were then our only competitor'. But you can go there now and buy Ameri- can and New Zealand butter, and the New Zealand dairymen meets me there and has become my competitor. It is not of my win that it is tints, nor only of his will. • It ii the progress of•civilization and the progress of humanity that have made competitors out of producers all over the world; and we cannot help ourselves. Since I cannot con- trol the market price of my products my profit at that end in an uncertain quantity. Profit always comes between the price obtainable and the cost of production. If it cissts me here fifteen cents ,per pound, and I can sell there for twenty cents per pound, I have five cents of a margin for profit. I/ can reduce this fifteen cents of cost by the application of good business methods to ten cents, I lengthen my line of profit at thermic, end of the business,- where nobody comes in to interfere and prevent me from getting it. Therefore, the main profit is made at the home end of a man's businees, which he can control. The home end of a man's business in every sense, is the one which he should look after most. The food products from the farms in Canada are mainly eaten at home in our own country. I want to show you the gain in the market capability, market capacity, in Canada in ten years. The growth of population who eat food, but who do not produce food, in ten years has been 384,146. That is the increase in the population in cities, towns and villages of over 1,500 souls each. These people consume the farm pro- ducts of Canadian farmers, at wholesale farm prices, to the amount of $21,000,000 annually. • We send • to England and the United States now, of the same things --farm products—leaming out itS OWD. Futurity is the great object on which the imaginations ot men are employed ; for the sake of which the past is forgotten and the present too often neglected. Let not your expectations from the years that are to tome rise too high; and your diseppointments will be fewer and more easily supported. Here is the Liquor Question in a Nutshell. There is but one way to destroy the rum traffic and that is to outlaw and punish both t'he seller and the user of intoxicating liquors. We believe the time has come when every man found drunk ought to be severely punished. Drunkenness ought to be made such a misdemeanor that it would bring as much disgrace upon its victim as would wearing stripes in a penitentiary. It seems to us inconsistent to propose to legal- ize the saloon and afterward punish the taloon-keeper'sdyietim. • The saloon, under the protection of law, is just as respectable a place, so far as lave is concerned as a church or a court -room. Let the saloon be made a disreputable place in the eyes of the law, let the drunk, ard be treated by the courts as a law break- er, and then will begin that improvement in public morals for which patriots have labored and Christians prayed—Cumber- land Presbyterian. We Should Rise Above Our Prejudices. A little personal pique, a bit of wounded vanity, a sudden flame of anger, often un- does the most substantial and faithful work and nullifies the most intelligent and wise action. It is one of the painful things in experience that effort is often defeated by these small, purely personal, and often momentary feelings, which are generally unintelligent and unwise. Life would be freed from some of its most painful features if men always aoted to each other on a • basis of real justice and intelligence, and left their small personal feelings and pre- judices out of eight. A man's work ought to be judged by itself and for iteelf alone, and the strength of a man's position ought to rest solely upon what he is able to do. And yet most of us are constantly neutral- izing the best work of others because it is not done in our way, and are constantly failing to do justice to others because of some small personal prejudice against them. The really strong, clear-sighted man is able to put himself out of the question and to judge others by what they'really are and do, not by their relations to him. In this work- ing world there is neither time nor strength to be always coddling our small vanities and still smaller prejntlices. Ottawa. • Canadian Cattle. " The imports of cattle from Canada last year, ending December, 1891, into Great 13.ritain, were 108,289, and the value was $8,623,202. The oxen, bulls and cows averaged $81.40 each at the landing ports. Freight, including landing charges, cost about $28 per head. If the farmers of Canada cannot make a profit in fattening steers and selling them at $53.40 on the average each, they have only one; alterna- tive. • They cannot lift that market, it is a market of 507407 'cattle, imported at a value . of $41,673,659. If they .have not made a profit selling at $53, they ecan do so now by reducing. the cost. ° We have an advantage in selling cattle to the English naarket, in that our cattle can go alive to all the inland towns of Great Britain, and that is worth from $2.50 to $5 a head to us, above all other compe- titors who are barred from doing that. We *Can send at an increased profit by improv- ing the quality of the animals. We do not want these .great, long, thin, tall animals that some men want to breed all the while. In the English market you will get about 20 per cent. more -per pound for the low get, compact animals. The possible profit might be greater if we would export dress- ed beef instead of live cattle, in many eases. I have, been mildly abused and opposed for recommending the establishment of large slaughter houses in Canada. But you do not send to England live ani- mals, without having them reach Liverpool bruised and. jaded, fevered in condition and lighter in weight, while .dressed beef in cold storage conepartmeot does not deterior- ate. At present, the retail butchers in England are opposed to any change that will prevent them from realizing the larger profit which they make from sales of meat from fresh killed animals. We will be able to overcome that hostility, and after a time • put our beef and mutton on the English market in the most economical way. We should seek to develop the trade-in fattened beef, and not in lean steers. I will read you an extract: "Wheu we ship over to Great Britain store cattle, we ship cattle that should have been fed in oar own stables, and that should, have produced for ourselves the prpfit which the Euglishman produces for himself by buying the animal and feed- ing it in Great Britain." That it from the address of your President last year. —Prof. Robertson. horses and hay, to the value of $35,955,- 986, annually. Our whole export from -Can- ada last year, ending June 30, 1891, to Great Britain and the United States, in farm products (except horses and hay) amounted to that sum. The total export to the United States of the same things m the same time, reached the value of $10,- 017,390. The extra people that have come into the towns of Canada in ten year's, buy from Canadian farmers twice as many dol- lars' worth of their farm products annual- ly, as we send to the whole of the United States. That means a good deal. I do not like anybody that tries to create a feeling ot antagonism between the townsman and the countryman. The townsman is a cus- tomer of the countryman, and the country- man is a customer of the townsman, and there should be no antagonism. If their interests are not identical, they are, at least, 'harmonious. All efforts to create distrust and dislike between the agricul- tural and manufacturing interests should be refrained from. As the town grows, the country makes some progress; they mu- tually benefit each others—Prof. Jas. W. Robertson, Dairy Commissioner. A Present for the Duke. g A friend of an old aunt of mine had a fine parrot which was a great favorite, both on eccount of its beauty and talking powers. It did not seem to talk merely at random, as most parrots do, but to choose the proper moments and circumstances for uttering his speeches. After the victory at Waterloo, and the Duke of Wellington's return to Apsley House, my aunt's friend was determined not to be behind the rest of the country in showing her gratitude and appreciation for the services rend,ered by the great general. She therefore travelled up to London,taking with her her pet, determined that the bird should be her gift to the Duke. On arriving at Aysley House the servant told her that it was not the Duke's custom to receive visits from strangers without knowing something of them and their busi- ness. The old lady peesisted that she had come up from Somereetehire, 12Q miles, to see His Grace, and that she was sure he would be delighted with her gift. The Duke, hearing of the earnestness of the old lady, ordered that she thould be shown in. He received his visitor with great polite - nese, and thanked her for her kind inten- tions, but said he really did not want a parrot. She said that if His Grace 'would only hear the bird speak, she was sure he could not refuse her gift. • He allowed her to uncover •the cage, and she said to her favorite, " Polly, this is the Duke of Wel- lington 1" :The bird, flapping its wings with the joy of being liberated from dark- ness, cried out, " See the conquering hero comes 1" Oh, I'll have her 1 I'll have her 1." cried the Duke with evident pleasure, and when Polly was made te sing, God save the King," and toay a number of other loyal and complimentary things, the old lady was most warn4y thanked for her gift, and her pet was praised for all its accomplish- ments. After this the Duke kept the parrot al- ways in his room, and Polly was trans- ferred from Apsley nouns to Strathfieldsaye, and was highlye esteemed' ih the neighbor- farm, in Manitoba, good wages and steady employ- ment to anitable men. e'er further particulars, apply to • THOMAS GOVENLOCK, Seaforth P.

To make the winter dairy profitable, you must begin by filling a good big silo. It is poor farming to sell the best hay and -leave your own stock only the refuse. Full valuS can be had from the feeding crops only by feeding them under cover. It is a hard matter to lose money grow- ing clover, because it has Bo many good uses. The is no profit in ow•ning a single acre of lent'," more than you can thoroughly culti- vate. Surplus earnings cannot 'be invested in a.nything that will pay much better than a good barn. - You cannot afford to buy all your home supplies, no matter how big crops you grow to sell. Choice truit is never had from trees that are permitted to bear more than they can properly nourish. Hogs cannot be fed off too soon after cad -weather comes, if you mean to get the maximum profit. . No'farmer can afford to buy manure until he has first niade use of every pound pro- duced at honie. How can you expect to know whether it pays to feed stock, unless you know the cost of the feed they eat? If you really want the creamery started, take some 'interest in it yourself, instead of waiting for your neighbors to do all the work. . You cannot afford to get the impression that you know all about farming; and rats cannot afford to farm at all, unless you do know a good deal about it. Talmage on Scotch Character.

ROBERT MeMORDI2o33.weeo. retary, Kippen P. 0., Ontario. There is something about the Scotch char- acter, whether 1 met it in New York, or London, or Perth, that thrills me through and through. Perhaps it may be because I have such a strong tide of Scotch blood in my own arteries. Next to my own beloved country give me Scotland for residence and grave. The people are in such downright earnest. There is such a roar in their mirth, like a tempest.in "The Trossacks." Take a Glasgow audience, and a speaker must have his feet well planted on the plat- form, or he will be overmasted by the sympathy of the populace. They are not ashamed to cry, with their broad palms wiping away the tears, and they make no attempt at suppression of glee. They do not simper, or snicker, or chuckle. Throw a joke into a Scotchman's ear and it rolls down to the center of his diaphragm and then spreads out both ways, toward the foot and brow, until ' the emotion becomes volcanic, and from -the longest hair on the crown of the head to the tip end of the nail on the big toe there is paroxysm of co.chination. No half and half about the Scotch character. What he hates, he hates; what he likes, he likes. And he lets you know it right away. He goes ha for Lord Salisbury or William E. Gladstone, and is altogether Tory or Liberal. Hia politico decided, his religion decided; get him right and he is magnificently right; get him wrong, and he is awfully wrong. A Scotchman seldom changes. By the time he has tairly 'landed on his feet in this world he has made up his mind, and he keeps it made up. If he dislikee a fiddle in chureh you cannot smuggle it in under the name of a bass viol. And I like this per- sistence. Life is so short that a man can't afford to change his mind The M.
