Hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers gaze at the Palisades, on the Newslersey .side of the Hudson. every. day, but not . one in 10,000 knows there iSsover there a bottomless pit, as great a euriositysin its way as is the caldron in the Devil's lake region of California. It is situated in West New York, about three miles north. of Hoboken, on the summit of. the Pali- sades. At this Point tbe top' of the. ridge Is 227 feet. above the level of the HudSon. ver at its base. This pit apparently ends in Water • .. hich tier and falls with the tides in the 1i - /Judson, but the attempts of the authori-' des as well as of private individnals•to 811 it up have proved futile. It is still there, and the Awes, rock and earth that have been dumped into it have disappear- ed as • if liffis the . bowels of the earth. Soundings littre been made, but no stable bottom 'has been found. .. • . The West NOW, york authorities sever. al years ago thought they had sueveeded .• in finding a • bottom. .They had :thrown'. into the water a large quantity of tree tops and upon these had heaped. a pile, ef stone. 'This sank- to . a .certain . depth and then appeared to be stationary. . Oa tea of this were deposited hundreds of :cart - loads of earth, with logs crosswise, thus making a roadway over .which trucks 'and vehicles passed.' • • The next morning, however, there wasn't a trace of the filling. The water at the bottom of the pit was as clear as • before. Thls-surface of the lake covers about half an acre, but there has never been a fish hauled from Its depths. • • It stood in .the way or the West Shore railroad when it was about to be built in 1880. The road intended to run its tun- nel from the Weehawken•serminel to the opposite side of the Palisades. at New Durham, directly over this pit, but after the -right of way had been bought the. conrpany had to abandon the route and go Mahn 1,000 feet to the.south.-New York Herald.

Maclaren, M.P., for North Perth, in his speech on the Bridget, gave an interestinez resume of \ the growth and the development of the butter and cheese incluetriee,and there- fore we make the fqllowing extracts, Mr Madam is an authority on these subjects, and there is food tor a good deal of hard thinking in his statements as follows The first cheese factory in Canada Was built in Norwich township.Oxford comity, Ontario, by the late Blarvey Farrington in 1802. Year by year cheese factories gr.ew usl amid died, others were orgamied and some of them would probably fait to exist after a year or two, .aricl so on, and so me - hut all the seine those who were best educated in the business and stuck to it finally made a success of it, and fac- tories kept increasing year by year all oyer Ontaaeo, and now there are a great many cheese factories all over Canada, also a great many consbina- tion factories making cheese in summer and butter in the winter. I, Western Ontario the farmers - and they are clever business farmers - began to put their heads together and build large co operative or joint stock factories, each potion becoming a stockholder, or in other words, each farmer becoming a, manufacturer, and necessarily, as a business man, giving proper attention. to keeping the best class of cows, giving them the best possible erne, SO as to get the best possible results, then giving his atten- tion to the selling of the cheese; the handling or the milk, the taking care of the factory in which he 111119 a stock- holder, and so 011. These were the class of dairymen who put their whole laeart and soul into the business In -the early days and are deserving of heaps of credit for -baying placed Centiclian cheese in the enviable place which it holds in the markets of the world. To day the naoney we receie for butter and theeeSe alone amounts to the wag- niticent sum of $29,477 038, as cotopaaa ed with $1,318,590 in 1888, an increase in thtrty-one years of $19,159,044. These figureswould increase to • 021,- 000,000 if altthe report for 1$99 were. in. •I think it would not be .out of place to give the figures tight here showing the tnclease in butter and cheese fsons. 1868 up to the present time. In 1868, we made 10;049,733 pounds of butter, valued at •81....608.042.

Jest a -word about a attieles of produce which are shipped from for- eign countries to Great Britain, I do not wish tO attempt to advise this gveat and good Liberal Government as to What articlea cf food we shoal() try to export more of, instead of allowing Holland, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, R08E49, Ftance, the United States, and many other countries to secure the trade, I think we take the lead m one article of food shipped to Bt Rain; that la cheese, as we shipped in 1897 170,980,, 308 pounds or $10,300,005 worth of cheese to Bi Rain. as against 5120,509,- 568 pounds or 012,341,00twai th shipped from all other parts of the world.

If we can get British money for out cheese.and butter, why not for our inilk? Then again, what about the egg trade, of Canada? I find that Eeglancl paye an irnmense amount of money for the eggs that•she imports. I have the fige ures for 1897, 14.14(1I' find that in that year Britain Imported10;317,510 dozen valued at $21,203,128, afsd Canada only takes sixth place. I think this is a very serious' ' inalter and that it we put our shoulders to the wheel and in some way try to encourage and educate the farm- ers to increase this -business, we should at ]east take second place in the egg and hen race.

And what about °MOB. ? What can we do tb get Mir share of. this money ? I think that no matter what, govern - Went is in power, this is a very serious rnatter and should receive very serious consideration; and everything possible should be done in assisting the farmers who are eogaged in this great buttee burtinese toplace their products in the best possible shape on the markets of the world and at the very highest price. I hope that now Canadk will awaken to the fact that' now is the accepted tinie. She never had such an adver- tisement in the markets of' the World as She has tOalay. Neither the present goyernenerit nor any government which ever preceded it; ever had such oppor. tunities to assist the Canadian people as they •have to -clay.
