'j'RIDA'Y, FEBRUARY26, 1897
As showing the spirit of freedom
;that animates this country, it maybe
pointed out that this Dominion has
'elected a French-Canadian Premier,
.and the Province of Ontario French
Canadian Speaker. As a matter of
fact Canada is the freest country in
the world.
A Canadian wet nurse, who was hir-
ed to go to Buffalo in hopes of saving
he life of a child, was sent back by
DeBarry.' One might be incline& to
think that in this case'LeBarry had
reached the bed -rock of officious mean-
ness, were not the capacity of some
American officials in that line so very
notorious. -
The Toronto World points out, as
indicative of the catholicity of our in-
stitutions, that at the opening of the
Legislature, the speech from the
Throne was delivered by' a Pole,.a
Frenchman was elected Speaker, and
the man who occupies the proud posit-
ion of Premier of the province was
born on a Canadian farm and educated
in a country school. This shows the
possibilities of worth and brains, even
in a young country whose institutions
are free.
The Galt Reformer tells us that the
curfew in that "town has,fallen into
. disrespect and uselessness. • For a time
immediately following ,tithe passing of
^,dti'.'• the by-law some atter,on was paid to
it, but the noveltyrt)4c1. fear of punish -
4,
ment for the traflggression of the law
r
poen ivore•off, and it is now only in
✓` rare instances that it is apparent that
'•.;., they have such a thing as a curfew.
And this is the history generally of all
attempts to re -introduce the barbaric
institution. Parents should be allowed
to have some say in and bear some
share of the responsibility for the; up-
bringing of their children.
Mr James White, who has been for
• 17•years clerk of Oxford County, thinks
that the new County Councils Act is a
great success. "I have always been
. heartily in favor of the principles of
the new act," he says, "and see no
reason to change my views. I consid-
er the act so far a success, and with
one or two amendments, such as one-
half the council retiring each year, do-
ing away:with the dual voting clause,
and confining eligibility for member-
ship to men who• have served say two
or three'yearsin municipal councils, it
will be found soon to ggrow into great
general favor." He declares' that he
never witnessed a session in which the
council did more persistent or faithful
work than was done at the late session
The same may be said by those who
followed the proceedings of the late
session of the Huron Council. There
Was ,an unmistakeable dispbsition to
10 business in a business -like way, and
a worthy desire to break free from the
bondage of localism. There are a few
changes that may be desirable, but
these being effected, the new system
will be found to be,a great improbe-
went on the old.

Corn Must be Free.
•
(Montreal Witness.)
The farmers of Canada breed cattle
which have to be fattenea before they
can be killed for beef. The farmers of
the United States have corn which has
been going to waste because they had
no lean cattle to which'to feed it. It is
clear tbat it would be to the profit of
the farmers of both countries to bring
the cattle and corn together. Separat-
ing the cattle of Canada from the corn
of the United Stater until a couple of
weeks ago was aquarantine detention
of ninety days. This quarantine was
raised by mutual agreement of the
United States and Canadian govern-
ments. It is said that since the United
States market. was opened to Canadian
cattle the average value of hoe ned cat-
tle in Canada had been raised five dol-
lars. • And what has, according to
United States testimony, benefited
Canadians has benefited all classes in
the United States, cattle dealers and
farmers as well as consumers. The
pernicious protectionist idea that if
one nation gains by a trade the other
must lose is clearly proved false by
this restoration of the cattle trade be-
tween Canada and the United States.
The question for Canadians to consider
now is whether the best possible way
of bringing cattle and corn together is
to send cattle to the United States.
raising lean cattle for export is a com-
paratively exhaustiv3 system of farm-
ing. All the fertilizing material that
cotnes frorn feeding fattening cattle
and all the elements which should --be
returned to the land after the animals
die is lost to the farms by, this system.
All the profit of the work of fattening
the animals should go to pay Canadian
labor if possible. The export of Cana-
dian stockers is only more profitable
than the keeping of them without the
profitable means of fattening them.
Then why not buy the corn from the
United States to feed the:cattle in Can-
ada ? The thing that prevents it is the
Canadian duty of seven and a half
cents a bushel on the" importation of
corn from the Uuited States'
This duty which prevents our farm-
ers'from buying corn to fatten their
cattle is a retaliatory one intended to
punish the United States for placing
duties upon the imports of Canadian
barley, oats and peas. The duty may
have kept United States farmers from
selling us their corn, which bas been
going to waste, it appears, but it has
also prevented our farmers from fat-
tening their beef animals cheaply and
from,tfeeding up their milch cattle well
in winter, which some claim is the
mostprofitable season for buttermak-
ing if cheap fodder can be got. The
protectionists who put the duties on
corn were not farmers in practice, but
only in theory, or perhaps mere doc-
trinaires, and their idea was that the
Canadian barley the Americans were
' prevented by theirrotectionist states-
men from buying from the Cauadians
would be used instead of corn to feed
our cattle. Instead of that, barley is
not now grown in great quantities,
and Is too dear to feed to cattle. So
the farmers and consumers of both
countries have been injured by the
protectionist statesmen on both sides
of the line. Mr Lockie 'Wilson, a lead-
er of the Patrons of Industry, has
written for the "Farmer's Sun" a
strong article in favor of the abolition
of the protective dnty on corn. It is
to he hoped that in the tariff now he-
ing framed corn will be on the free
list.

CANADIAN CATTLE ARE BEST.
AND THEY ARE CAUSING Loss TO
MICHIGAN AND OTHER MEN SHIP-
PING TO BUFFALO.
The Michigan Farmer says:—"The
removal of quarantine regulations on
Canadian cattle has had a disastrous
effect upon shipments of cattle from
this and other western states to Buff-
alo inarket. The decline on corn non
to tair butchers' cattle on Monday of
last, week was 15c to 20c per hundred
as the result of the presence of 39 loads
of Canadian cattle, which were mostly
of this description. Several loads of
Canadian • cattle were on sale, and
went to Ohio parties. This.cut off the
usual demand for Michigan, Ohio and
western feeders and they ruled lower.
Some shippers must have met with
severe losses in consequence of the
condition of the market.
Commenting on the above the local
organ of the East Buffalo live stock
trade, The Mercantile Review, says
this evening: "The principal reasons
for the strong prices of Canadian feed-
ing cattle the past two weeks have
been' the superior quality of the Cana-
dian feeders over the native feeding
cattle, and the very unusual demand
for feeding cattle to go west The lat-
ter is something unprecedented. Whe-
ther this demand will continue or not
remains to be seen. Certain it is that
the shipping of Canadian stocker and
feeder cattle to this market has
brought a good many }luyers•bere who
would otherwise not have come here,
and will bring back the cattle for sale
on our markets when fed and fattened
up, that we wouldnot have had, while
the light supplies of feeding cattle and
the poor quality that had for some
time past been received from Michi-
gan, Ohio and Indiana gave evidence
that there Was not any large supply of
feeders to come from these sections,
and doubtless a very large number of
strictly good feeding cattle are wanted
now and will be wanted right along
for several months to cove by feeder
buyers, both in the states of Ohio,
Michigan and Indiana, and in New
York State, at good prices, and • the
Canadian feeding cattle are only pre-
ferred over the native feeding cattle
when they are superior in quality and
hreeding to the native cattle. For the
introduction of Canadian feeding cat-
tle has served to stimulate the feeding
of cattle, that owners and shippers of
native feeding cattle can take advan-
tage of if they have the kind and qual-
ity of stock to ship that the increased
and added to demand calls for.
Good feeders are wanted and wanted
quick and n liberal number of them.
The entering wedge bila fatal complaint
is often a slight cold, which a dose'br two
of Ayer''s Cherry Pectoral might have our -

And we forged our vows out of love's own

Where life's once more begun.

France and England
Goldwin Smith makes the following
seasonable comments in the Farmer's'
Sun:
"Great Britain and France are once
more growling at each other. Beyond
growling they are not likely to go.
Glovernrnents, if they are not morally
opposed to war, shrink from 'the in-
scrutable abyss of war under entirely
novel conditions and with untired,
but certainly tremendous engines of
destr uction. It is even conceivable
that the first sea -fight might make it
difficult afterwatds to man the navy.
If anything is likely to bring on a war
it is the ever restless and irritable Van-
ity of France, which, alike under the
Bourbons and the Bonapartes, has al-
ways been at work, and has been the
band of European civilization. It re-
ceived a well-meritted as well as stern
rebuke in consequences of its attempts
to destroy German unity. But, it will
probably need at least one more lesson
before it leaves the world at peace.
England, according to the testimony
of all impartial judges, has been doing
great things for Egypt; while France,
having been earnestly invited to share
the work and ,sl�ieclined, has ever since
been doing nothing but. cavil, worry
and obstruct. The plain speaking of
Sir Michael Hicks -Beach may not have
been strictly imprudent; but some-
times a little irnprudence not only is
agreeable, bat does good. A war be-
tween England and France would put
to the test that devotion of the French
in Quebec to the British flag, of the in-
tensity of which our Imperialist ora•
tors are alvl ays assuring the British
public."
DO YOUR BEST.
"Say, Ben, let's pitch in and tidy up
the shop before one o'clock and give
the boss a surprise when he comes
back."
Did he say so ?"
"No, hut the shop needs cleaning up,
and I'll bet he would like to have it
done."
"Well, if you are •green enough to
go to putting in your noon hour work-
ing for old Markham without extra
nay, go ahead, but not any of it for
rue. You'll never get any thanks for
it, Tom, and if you begin working
over time that way, you'll have to
keep it up;" and, the speaker, a lad of
some eighteen years, stretched him-
self out on the work -bench for a noon-
time nap.
"All right," good-naturedly replied
bis ccmpanion, a boy some two years
younger, "I'll do it myself then, for I
don't lie to work in a place littered
like this,'and there won't be time af-
ter the men get back, with all those
frames to get out this afternoon."
So saying he went briskly to work
and by the time the one o'clock whistle
sounded, the carpenter shop was neat-
ly cleaned
That was fifteen years ago. Those
two apprentice boys are men now.
The older one who refused to help to
clean up the shop for fear of doing;
something for which he was not spe-
cially paid, is still a, journeymen car-
penter in his native village, barely able
to keep his family supplied with the
necessaries of life. -
The other boy lost nothing by his
Willingness acid the interest he took in
his employer's .business. Mr Markham
noted his disposition and gave him an
extra opportunity to master the trade.
Soon he was given the superintendency
of Small contracts, and his absolute
reliability caused him in a few years
to be made foreman of the little shop.
Then came those larger opportunities
and increased advantages that 89 of-
ten fall in the way of men who can be
trusted. To -day, Tom Archer is one
of the wealthiest and most reliable
contractors and builders of a large
Western city.
When will our boys' all learn that
it pays to be faithful in little things, •
and to take a personal intrest in. their
employers buisness.
It is the iitlys who do this that rearh
the top in every line of buisness; while
the sulkers and ;growlers, who are al-
'ays afraid of doing to much, are pret-
ty certain to remain well down toward
the bottom of the ladder.
As TO,ROADs.ssOne has only to tra-
vel on roads runningnorth and south,
to realize the neeof some uniform
method by which the filling up of the
roads with snow could be avoided.
Where the ordinary rail or board
fences line each side of the road, the
snow drifts in until it is about level
with the fences. But where a wire
fence is used on either side the drifting
is not so bad. The ''pitch -holes" soon
manifest themselves on a road where
there is much snow, and travel with
any degree of comfort;rtnd security is
at an end. We have observed that on
several roads running north and south,
pitch holes do not occur very frequent-
ly, where there happens to be wire
fence on the west side of the road.
This may not be the case invariably,
but it is in many instances. If it is
possible to keep the country roads in
better conditjon then it should be done;
we know the "storm king" sometimes
defies all efforts to control hila', but
the state of many
roads is really se
bad that it becomes a serious problem
as to how they may be improved.
Every farmer who teams over. a
'"pitchy" road knows that the wear
and tear on horseflesh and rigs is con-
siderable; so much so that many ti y to
avoid such work until the roads are
improved by the spring thaws, If
wire or open fences on both sides of
the road would ensure freedom from
"pitchy" roads, it would almost be
wisdom on the part of the Local Legis-
lature to pass a law requiring such
fences to he built on all main roads
running north and south. Something
should be done, and that something
should be before another winter.
A DRY RAIN.
According to the Kansas City Star,
there is one place in the United States
where a man may be out in a heavy
rain and not get wet, even though he
has neither macintosh nor umbrella.
In the Colorado desert they have
rain storms during which not a single
drop of water touches the earth. the
rain can be seen falling from the clouds
high above the desert, but when the
water reaches the strata of hot, dry
air beneath the clouds it is entirely ab-
sorbed before falling half the distance
to the ground.
It is a singular sight to witness a
heavy downpour of rain, not a drop of
which touches the ground. These
strange rainstorms occur in regions
where the shade temperature often
ranges as high as one hundred and
twenty-eight degrees Fahrenheit.
