Thoughtful Hints.
All those who peas through the door to
success will find it labeled push."
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. I shall
leave all the world behind me'and I ,think
there are many here that willdO the Same."
Men of character are the conscience of the
society to which they belong.
Help somebody worse oft than yourself,
and you will find that you are better off
than yoa fancied.
A weak mind is like a microscope, which
magnifies trifling things, but cannot receive
great ones.
Never delay till to -morrow what reason
and conscience tel you ought to be per-
formed to -day. To -morrow is not yonra ;

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

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.

• 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,

C. E. Casey on Good Roads.
Mr. George E. Casey, M.P. for :West
Elgin, has a good letter in the St. Thomas
Journal on the subject of country roads.
We give his conclusions : In the first place
there are certain principles of road -making,
of which, with proper advice, the municipal
authorities should establish certain standil,
sads—such a standard for main highways
such and such for sidelines and concessionsS
Let the roads be made uniformly on these
principles, not all finished at once, but all
on the saine plan as far as the money goes.
"Commute" all statue labor as at- pre-
sent assessed on an uniform cash basis,
adding what is now spent itt grants. Let
those who would rather work than pay

He calls attention to the following among
other advantages : Roads Would_ be so
built that each year's work would bring
them nearer to the standard established,
whereas now it often makes them worse.
They would be .practically permanent when
completed. When a road is onee

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.
