AN•''C13SE17A.rTC WRITEit 'TAIIKS Or 'Mai 'PREiTTEIt'S AHILITIES Awn ' CHAnACTPR. , A,-> ecen writer 1r'ott Ottawa thus • speaks Of -•the .,Premier—Sir John Thompson —. The Conservative party in the past have been fortunate in having as lead- ers such Men as Sir John Macdonald and.Sir John Abbott.. They were leen who, Wherever their lots might have been. cast, would have risen to the high- est rack 'in statesmanship, and left thtlir , impress tion the century in which they lived. The caz'eer of Sir John Macdonald especially was in Il?any Ways a marvellous one. Th early years he was a Leader, and with scare- • ly ,a break he led snccessfdlly, until amid the shadows of ripe old age Ate sank; to rest. During all the difficulties incident to the formative period of Canadian. history, by the exercise of his -great talents and by the utilization of Ins Wonderful powers to persuade, to mansge•andcontrol men, he succeeded in collecting around himself and the truly national principles of which he was the ,exponent, a party of great €strength, unity and vitality. It need be little wondered at, therefore, that,the hour of his going was feared— that it Was dreaded as would be dread- ed the 'fall of a great warrior, whose wish was law in the ranks he led, while the balstle was still unfinished. Only three years have passed since his death; but in those three years thepro- bleta-a problem that few had essayed to solve before his removal—namely, • that of the leadership of the party when he was gone—has been solved, and to -day, hour' by 4sour, the ranks are closiiig up around • the distinguished Cauiidian who sits in his place, just as they so often closed around the great Chief- - who is gone. A GREAT CAREER. Sir John Thompson's rapid rise in the field' of statesmanship, so far as Canadian history. is concerned, finds no equal•save in the career of Sir John Macdonald, and even when compared with the career of that wonderfully uccessful man, his rise to hisresent tilted position presents some features hick mirk it of unique and unpara- lelled. At a very early age it is true, Sit > John Macdonald had become re- cognised as a leader among the people of old Canada ; but his after fame— if we may be permitted to use the word -his Imperial fame, and the love and confidence he eventually won every- where in British hearts, were fruits after he did not gather until many years of service. Sir John Thompson • is at present only -turned fifty years,of age ; he bas been in the winer field of Canadian politics not yet half a score of years; but in that short time he has not only reached the highest place in the gift of Canadians, but he has also won worthy rank among those British statesmen, whether of the motherland or of the colonies, to whose true hearts and great minds the most difficult pro- b1'eris and delicate tasks of the Em- pire are • entrusted with confidence. The career of the Premier is one to which Canadians may point with par- donable pride ; it is indeed ono of those grand examples which do so much to supply history with its invaluable less- ons of encouragement find instruction. HIS SPLENDID ABILITIES.. Of course the great• success which he • has achieved never could have been achieved without the possession of parts of the very highest order. Such parts friend and foe alike adtnit him to be possessed of. Indeed parliamenta- rians of g.reat experience and lawyers in -the front rank are not slow in de- claring that his mental equipment is something marvellous. Nor is this opinion confined to Canadians. Upon the great Behring Sea Tribunal, meet- ing as he did there the chosen men of Great Britain and other European nations, his powers were held to be of the first. Stored with all sorts of knowledge, widely read upon every subject likely to be met with in his varied duties, possessed of wonderful insight, which enables him to go into the heart of a complexed question nt once; the possessor of a logic and power of argument that are even cruelly irresistible, he may indeed have applied to him very properly a descrip- tion whicli one of his leading oppon- ents at Ottawa gave of him when he said : "Sir John Thompson is the clearest thinker, and the most merci- less critic that the House has .ever seen." Only redently honored by Her Majesty with a membership of the Imperial Privy Council, the London Times, the exponent of the best British T"yopinion, has followed that up by pay- ing to the Canadian leader the greatest compliment it had in its power to be- ' 1 t stow by urging his appointment to the highest court in the British Empire, �-outside of the British Parliament, namely, the 'Judical' Committee of the Imperial Ptr•itish Privy Council. A coxret 1tE.NT TG CANADA. These facts alone are evidence of the great confldely 0 that Sir John's ability and patriotism Riive won for him in the very heart of the Empire. They are ebnipl,itients to Canada itself, of whichevery Canadian we feel sure of whatevl r party, *ill heprpud. Froin the very", ,fust day° of his entrance into the Dominion Parliament, the Premier WW1 rectignixed' as. the peer of its ablest Weil*but hitt If that'were re true a his Oei- tion then it is equally true than at present in, theundivided judgment of the House he stands head and shoulders above any of his contemporaries: Each session indeed he has given evidence of being possessed of a reserve force of mental' power that surprises 1 evert those' whO havo a ,preolated. hie al:Malec niost-highly, ' f31S, MOO egfAlt CTE13,- 1 Lont:l1 powors alonew , •h0WeVer, orld Bever have ,given • him .the •unbounded eSpect and cuntidence ;he 012,1t0' 'from holo ' io know lii►rt. ll.est. * 1 oittinate ytha.tither traits of his; eliarenter ,oro it keeping. ?.1lo is the. soulof honor; his word is tL bond, slowly givont but acredly kept•; to this his bitterest ;appponents are ever' ready to subscribe' W? hethor as • tt j?tdgo! .in his. ,nit#ive Province or 8,51 aaliiernbez` of itsGovern- hent, and for u :Outwits Premier, his ionesty 'trf purpose and •,purit 'Of i l�. 7 6 4for Ol H I t t7 rrrot ve hw_. nH .tt a n .,nen , e.p,. t�uestione(l. His' tublic career in 1�TOVa 00,Otia is one ti. which'. he can look back, 'with pride and upon which •his fink*, is can look with pride, as• well,. • It was ii career of clo'Settvomitirny, a+reduction xf provincial expenditure, ri Wiping off tf provincial :debt, and. above all, of (,lean • and above board 1)usiuess methods. If our readers will stop for a reotiaent to think, they will renmember, that against, his administration of affairs in that province, they have not sen the shadow tlf an insinuutiotl cast ly his opponents... Of his career in the argger field of federal politics, when it s finished—#and we hope that it may ong continue=. -the same will be told if the truth be adhered to.. One of his opponents not long ago;gave valuable evidence as to the• ]:'relater's character as a public man. • ' ' .THE TRIBUTE ()VAN OPPONENT. When he was discussing a measure that was talked of being introduced in Parliament, he declared : "If Sir John r`hompson thinks it is right he will upport it, and if he thinks it is wrong all the force that can be brought to bear upon Win will not make him withdraw his opposition to it." This we submit is just the kind of a man hat Canada cannot afford to lose from u .il a leading place in her en nc s—a man who cannot be persuaded Into a deser- ion of what he believes to he the true ptinciple,of public policy, by which, in the interests of Canala, he should be guided, by either political expediency or the demands of any class, sect or in- erest, however powerful, to aid him in he retention of office, or however powerful to injure him politically if their demands be not acceded to --a man who is prepared to stand by the right, and, if necessary to go down vith it for the moment, but to stand by it still. BROAD AND LIBERAL. But with all this strength of character and will power, Sir John Thompson is not in any .sense self opinionated or contracted in his views; indeed, men of truly great parts such as he is poss- essed of, can be, neither the one nor the other. Those who know him best say that he is always ready and willing to isten to argument and to be convinced f good reasons are given. This indeed must be the case or he never would have been able to win, as he has won, the love and admiration of those, whether in. the Province or int.heDom- inion, who have been associated with him most closely. In his sympathies he is broad and liberal. Indeed a gentleman who has known the Premier intimately, both, during his career. in Nova Scotia and at Ottawa, and who has had an opportunity of seeing much of his home and private life, declared to the writer of this article that he be- lieved hien not only incapable of •pre- judice or narrowness of viewswherever such are to be found. Certainly his public acts have borne out this opinion of him. Dealing with many delicate natters, matters in which his own political or religious opinions have been expected by. some to have colored his judgment .nt certain extent at least g e to a he has displayed a broadness of vision and an impartial rectitude of purpose that. have challenged the admiration of til who have watched his course. NO HUMBUG. Another notable feature, of the Pre- mier's character is his aversion to hum- bug. in any form. He attempts to please and satisfy, not by sweet words that mean nothing, but by a candour and straightforwardness that must in the end win him golden opinions even among those who find humbug not un- pleasant to take from great men. Every one .who talks with him feels that he is in the presence of timan who. means what he says and will say noth- ng that.he does not feel. • This Wait of his character carne out very prorninently in the answer which he gave to' the temperance delegation that interviewed him recently. Well known as he has always been—as an outspoken friend of advanced legisla- tion in the interests of temperance and higher morals, he would give them no promises. Put briefly, his answer wits this: "I could humbug you if I liked. but I have too mu.,h respect for you and for myself to do that, and there- fore I must tell you there are grave difficulties in the way of immediate legislation such as you desire." • When the deputation had withdrawn and was on its way down town, one of its leading members remarked that "the Premier was hard than to get a promise out of, but once it was given it would be worth something." Whether it was intended as a compli- ment or .not we' cannot say, but it cer- tainly was one. A STRONG BRITISHER. Outside of the points we have referr- ed to, the inain feature of Sir John Tompson's public career has been his sturdy Britishism. He is an enthusias- tic admirer of British institutions and British methods. He is indeed a warm-hearted Imperialist, proud of Canada's connection with the mother- land. hound to maintain it, and ever ready to adopt such methods as will aid towards the consolidation of the Empire. In this regard as in all others he is a•worthy successor of the old chief- tain, whose expiring battle cry was for the perpetuation upon the American continent of British institutions. AT HOME. In private life Sir John Tompson is essentially a domestic Ivan; he is devoted to his family, and what time he can snatch from the affairs of the country is spent in their midst. A genial home atmosphere pervades the unpretentious house in which he lives and everybody who crosses his thres- hold feels immediately that he is in the hoose of a man who, if he were to con- sult his own tastes and desires would u wuietl leave to others the wearin and earying duties of public life, g and devote himself to the pursuit of a pro- fession of which he is undoubtedly the greatest living Canadian member, and to the enjoyment of those comforts and MILK xoit LWTORIESR Rut. i FRO:.'

Not only this, but aeration., implies the driviug . off of gases that may be already it the milk,These are most easily driven off while the Milk is fresh and warm, and for this reason aeration should, be done at alias after milking end before the milk is cooled. Proper aeration' will get rid of any ob- jectionable odors that may have conte from the cow or food, Where paying by test is practised, aeration and stirring will prevent the cream front rising, and consequently the Milk will give a higher a%erage test and one more uniform. HOW TO AERATE. It may be done by dipping, pouring or stirring, or by the Use of au aerator. An aerator properly used is a help, but abused, it is a hindrance. Simply run- ning milk through an aerator once after milking without any further stirring is not sufficient. It ',Mould be stirred two or three Wawa at intervals of 10 or 15 minutes after being put through one of these aerators and again before going to bed. Not only to improve flavor should this be done, but also to prevent loss of crea117 in the vats, especially in the fall, when milk stands some time before be- ing set. • Some keep their milk over night in pails hauging on hooks. Tuese hooks are fastened to a strong pole or scantling supported by means of a couple of poste in the ground. _ The morning's milk needs aerating as well as the evening's. Do not buy an aerator that is not easily cleaned. Otte good maker in Western Ontario does not advise the use of aerators at all, for the reason that' patrons do not keep them clean. A good'tlting for purifying milk may be -made by taking an ordinary shallow milk pan made of strong tin. On the outside bottom of this, fasten a handle about 2-1 feet long, Punch 8 or 10 small holes in the bottom of the pan. In using, put the inverted pan squarely down into the lmilk and allow this pau of air to bubble through the milk. When it ceases bubbling, draw out and then insert again. Do this a dozen butes each evening and morning. The evening mills. should be treated about. three times in the foregoing manner, once immediately after milking. 11(011 in 15 minutes, and again iu about half an hour. Stir before retiring for the night.-. STRAINING. Straining should begin before coin• lnetcing to milk, by brusuing off ail dirt, hairs. straw, etc„ from the udder, teats and body of the cow. Let it be the duty of some one person to go over all the cows with a soft brush, or a damp cloth, before the cows are milked. How to strain: An ordinary wire sieve strainer does very well, but we add to this by doubling cheese cloth or 11110 cotton so as to have four thicknesses. Lay the cloth across the bottom of the Strainer and then fasten it on by •means of a tin ring which - 8111)8 over the cloth and bottom part of the strainer. For quickness we use a strainer' that a pail of tiiilk may be put into at once.- 'This sits. -in -a wooden frame'over the can. Some use a woolen cloth to strain with. Cloth of somehiud is necessary to catch hairs and flue dirt. • This cloth must be kept clean. Scald it thoroughly each time after using. Why Strain? Cheese and butter are articles of food ,to be eaten by temp and worsen.' A, great many forget tits. They seem to think that it doosltot make any difference what kiud of miik is scut ' to the factory, judging from what way be seen on tate strainers of factories. It all goes—well, goes somewhere, and they do not eat it, OTHER POINTS TO BE OBSERVED. 1. Keep none but cows that will give at least 6,000 pounds of milk or 250 pounds of butter•a yea'. Weed out the pour ones and replenish the herd by raising calves from the best. Send milk to the factory from none but healthy animals. When a cow shows symptoms of not doing well, bite should be separated from the rest of the herd and her milk not used for food. 2. Colostrum; or the first tnilk after oalviug, should not be sent to snake either cheese or butter, Not until tete Oft1t day does the milk become norrual. Previous to this it contains a high per- centage of albumen, which is of no use to either the cheese or butter -maker, but is a decided hindrance. 3. In the spring and . fall, while the cows are in the stable, it slionld be kept clean. To keep a stable clean. the fol- lowing are necessary : Two brooms—a stable and a house broom ; tight floors f land plaster for the gutter ; lime for sprinkling around the passages; white- wash for ceilings and walls. L •t the men borrow a little whitewash and a brush for an hour from the women this spring, go down to the cow stable, sweep off the cobwebs that have accumulated there ever since the stable was built ; whitewash 10 square feet, and then if it is thought to be a waste of limo and Iabor, don't do any more this spring, but observe the contrast with the rest of the stable. A cow stable is a plece for a cow to live in, not to exist in; The health of men and women depend, to a large extent,upon the- cosy ; the health of the cow epends largely on her house being properly aired and cleaned.; there- fore the health of children and men de- pends in a great measure on how the cow stable is looked after. Aim to• keep it°'as clean and pure as the house. In addition there ie need of some handy method of cleaning the stable twice a day when the cows are in all the time, and somebody to make use of the pleasures that are only to be found things mentioned. around a homehearth. r 0 A 4.

After straining and aerating., -the milk may 'be cooled for the creamery. For the cheese factory' it is notaieces-. nary, except during very hot weather. The milk may as well be ripouing while the tniticer''sleeping, as to have i.im sitting around waiting fur it to ripen Outing the day. 8. Set the Milk in a place where the air is pure, and in winter where it will not freeze. Milk should be protected frotn sun and rain. These are good iu their place, but poor things to enak-o cheese and butter out of. 9, The milk stand sl,lould be 100 feet from the barnyard and frotn where pigs are fed. It shouldhave a cover al- lowing a free circulation of 101, at the same time preventing the milk from be- ing Iteate1.ur allowing rain water to get Into it. Rain water is said to spoil the flavor. 10. Milk wagons should be kept clean. The boxes or racks for holding the cans need scrubbing ith hot water once a week to remove spilled milk, etc. This is especially necessary where whey is hauled on the same wagon as the milk. The odor of some milk wagons is suffi- cient to taint the milk. The horses need proper grooming that no odors from theist may reach the milk: The driver and his clothing should be clean and tidy. Cans of milk protected front sun and dust while on the road will reach the factory in better condition than those without cover. 11. • If the can is ten years old and rusty, leaks badly, has a dinged cover, and spills one hall a gallon or more milk every day it is sent to the factory, should you continue to use it? Will it not pay - to. buy n new one? 12. Where possible, insist on the whey being returned iu the milk cans. (Sour whey, alone, is an excellent article to keep pigs in good squealing condition). Let it stand in the can until just before commencing to milk, then empty, rinse very slightly . with. warm—not hot— water. Pat 1110 evening's milk at once into this can without straining and aerating. If it gets to the factory before it sours, step into the factory about noon and hear the cheese -maker give an ex- hortation en grassy curds and whey ("bucky," some call it) flavors. Observe the look on his face which says, "If I get through by 8 or 9 o'clock tu-night, 1.11 do pretty well." Come round again in about a month and see the buyer lodk at the cheese Made from the vat into whiel but one can of suck milk was emptied. and notice hint set this cheese aside for further inspection or a lower price. Tie may refuse it altogether for export. It will do for the home market and will have a great tendency to de- velop home consumption. 13. To wash milk pails, milk cans, strainers, oa ., they should be first rinsed Au lukewarm water, next washed with hot water, and then be scalded, !after 'which, put them in a nice place to air and dry. Do not wipe dairy tinware with a dishcloth. Make a bonfire of all the old dishcloths that are used for wip- ing dairy utensils and the flavor of the mills will go up,1Q per cent. 14. Milk should be sent to the factory of the starts quality as given by.the cows. Nothing should be added to the milk and. nothing taken frolu it (except bad odors). Removal of cream, keepaiig back "strip- pings" or skint milk, or "first, milk," should be prohibited. It is as great a crime to keep home skint milk, or the "first milk" froth, a cheese factory as it is to keep home create or "strippings." Adulterated milk is milk to winch any- thing has been added, or from which anything has been taken. Personsoffer- ing for sale such milk should be prose- cuted. 15. The patrons having done every- thing to supply the makers with good, pure milk,.11 is the duty of the factory - man to make first-class goods. Patrons! step into your factory' occasionally and see that everything is neat and clean in and around it, and that there rs good c:,eese or butter oa`the shelves or iu the storerooms. If it is not so, ask why, and if the defect is not remedied, insist on a change of maker next year. Nuke a Clod Crusher. The clod crusher here shown is wor 5 years subscription to F. & H.
