In the current issue of the Farmer's
Advocate a correspondent, describing
the Buffalo Fair, writes as follows:—
"Were any doubts expressed as to
the euitability of Capzda, and more
especially of Ontario, as a stock rais-
ing country, or as to the quantity or
quality nf the pure-bred animals of
various breeds owned and raised
there, I do not think any more con-
vinciug proof of the groundlessness of
his fears could be given to the sceptic
in question than would have been giv•
ea him by taking him to the grounds
of the Buffalo International Exposi•
tion and showing him the various ex
hibits of live stuck made there by
r. laves,

always his habit to lay his mon-
ey and valuables on the dresser
when he retires, and when' the
children come in before he arises
in the morning they ate permit-
ted to appropriate every coin of a
value less than $1. As he laid his
money out on this occasion he
happened to think of a cheque of
$10,000 which ho bad been paid
for margins by a certain firm
after banking hours the previous
day. He searched his pockets
and could not find a trace of it.
Then he happened to think of the
documents he had torn up in a
maudlin way in the cab. It dirt

$156,510. The duty, of course,
came out of the pocket of the Ca- letruck against the side cif one of
nadian farmer, for our exports of the bars the sharp, clear ring of
hay aro altogether too small to
regulate the price in the United
States. But that was not all the••
farmers lost by the duty. A con-
siderable portion of the hay grown
here would probably be rated as
second-grade hay, and on this
grade the two dollars duty acts
like a, prohibitory tax. In other
words, when the duty is added to
the cost of production and of
transportation to the Americans"
market, there is nothing left for
the Canadian shipper. But lot
the duty be removed, and a largo
and profitable trade could be done
in inferior hay.
The fact that the ATherican duty
is in many cases quite sufficient
to block a trade which other-
wise would be remunerative, is
clearly brought out in both linos
of trade. For example, when Ca-
nadian eggs were taxed—the duty
was only ton per -cent. ad valorem
-we sent very few eggs to the
States. But the duty. was taken
off some years ago, and as a result
our egg shipments have become a
valuable item. In 1887 we sent
the Americans 13,680,000 dozen,
valued at $2,g30,000. In fact tile
humble and unprotected hen cont
tributed to our foreign trade an
export equal in value to over one-
half the total export of Canadian
manufactured 'goods. Again, so
long as the American taxed hem-
lock, used for tanning purposes,
and hides, •our exports of those
articles did not amount to much.
But the duties have been repealed,
and shipments to the United
States aro growing accordingly.
In 1887, according to tables 27-
38 of the statistical bureau at
Washington, we sent them (30,000
cords of hemlock bark, valued at
$273,000, and nearly half a mil-
lion dollars worth of hides. Tho
demand for hemlock bark is like -
to increase. According to' the
United States, census of 1880,
thero were 728,tannories in New
York and the New England Status
alone, most of which produced
hemlock leather; but hemlock is
becoming scarce in those parts,
and in order to compete with the
Pennsylvania tanners and tho
tanners of tho South, who pos-
sess a largo supply both of hem-
lock' and oak, they must draw
more and more largely upon the
Canadian forests.
All this is .merely a roundabout
way of stating the self-evident
proposition that trode when froo
grows at a rate impossible to it
when shaCklod.
the cart -wheel dollar was .given

the ° still surviving and fomous
Montana protector of Wells & Co's
treasure box of the early days
stood guard with his winchoster.
The bars of bullion were "hefted"
and "rung" until -the depot loiter-
ers tired of the sport, and they
then were left alone in their
glory.
In the pioneer period the
bankers of Helena thought noth-
ing of sending $1,000,000 -worth
of gold dust by the freighting
wagons across the country 200
miles to Fort Benton for ship-
ment by river. They rantrusted
the treasure to acquaintances who
chanced to be making a trip, ex-
acted no bond, and felt no anxiety.
Tho millions went through safely,
although the boundary of the
British dominions is temptingly
near part of the routs to Fort
Benton. Banker Hershfield, pf
Helena, tolls an interesting story
.of a man by whom ho once sent
$150,000 in gold dust from Hel-
ena. Tho dust was put• in the
pockets .of a jacket, which was
worn next to the body. The man
who carried the treasure was only
a casual acquaintance of tho
hanker. Two or three days out
from Helena tho stags by which
the trip was being mads met with
an accident. It rolled down the
hillside, and the treasure carrier
was badly hurt. Several of his
ribs were broken. He Was taken
to a cabin, and their lay in agony,
with tho dust still fastened about
him, positively refusing to let it
bo removed until Mr Horsfield
cguld be sent for and the trust
could be returned to his hands.
Men may not bo more honest in
Montana than elsewhere, but it is
a fact that thefts of bullion have
been of rare occurrence.
