A great many Lib- erals do not hesitate to say that the Government's finish is in sight, * * —Says the Ridgetown Dominion, "Of the twenty-one constituencies forming the western district of On- tario, only five sent Conservative member's to the last Legislature. Thus early in the battle we are rash enough to predict that the same district will return eleven Conservatives to the next House." * * * --In a recent address, Mr. Whit- ney gave utterance to the follow- ing :—"We will endeavor to do what is right, because it is right." In other words, Mr. Whitney's stand is, "Honest enough to be bold, and bold enough to be hon- est." It is men of that stamp On- tario needs just now. It has tried the other kind for thirty years and is tired of them. *** —Rev. E. A. Laugfeldt, preach- sng in All Saints church, Peter- borough, recently said :— "What we need more than prohibi- tion is the reformation of a Govern- ment that has in an many cases, suoh as ballot -stuffing and other eleotion frauds, manifested utter regardlessness of all that is righteous, pure, and honest." My dear fellow, the thing has be- come so utterly corrupt, that "re- formation" is out of the question. The only remedy is complete des- truction and removal. * * * —Mr. Andrew Morris, of the United Kingdom Alliance, has pre- pared a very interesting statement relating to the drink expenditure of Great Britain and comparing the same with the total amount of money devoted to religious work. The drink bill of the United King- dom for 1900 is estimated at $804,- 458,590, while careful calculations show that the total revenue of all the religious bodies amounted to only about $125,000,000. It will thus be seen that the national drink bill is six times as great as the sum raised for all religious purposes. * * * —According to the census of 1901, the population of Canada is put at 5,369,666 ; it is distributed as follows :— Ontario 2,182, 942 Quebec 1,648,948 Prince Edward Island.,103,259 Nova Scotia .....,...... ..,, 459,574 New Brunswick 331,120 Manitoba 254,917 British Columbia 177,272 Alberta 65,877 Assiniboia, East 49,693 Assiniboia, West 17,692 Saskatchewan 25,679 Yukon 27,168 Unorganized Territories 25,546 * * * —The Toronto Star says :— "It may yet be necessary for Canada to lend Mr. Fielding to Great Britain for a while in order that the Home. Government may • get into the habit of having a yearly surplus instead of a yearly deficit." Not a bit of it, Mr. Star. The peo- ple in the old land could never be deluded by the idea that there was a surplus when the expenditure ex- ceeded the income. The way Mr. Fielding figures out a surplus is by adding several millions of expendi- ture to the country's debt, and thus getting that out of sight for the present, he announces a sur- plus. He never could work that scheme on the English people. There are real live statesmen over there. * * * —From 1878 to 1896 the gross debt of Canada increased $150,260,- 268, while from 1896 to 1901 it has increased $29,014,846. Add to this the estimated increase of $6,- 000,000 for 1902, and the total wfll reach $35,014,846. Deducting the extraordinary expenditures above mentioned, we find that for ordin- ary purposes during 18 years of Conservative rule the debt was in- creased $18,960,268 ; and under 6 years of Liberal rule the increase for ordinary purposes was $12,- 214,846. This shows that the av- erage annual increase in the debt for ordinary purposes under Con- servative rule was $1,053,237; whille under Mr. Fielding's direc- tion the annual average growth has been $2,035,607. And the average is going up year after year. —Mr. E. F. Clarke, of Toronto, in an address recently, said :—A. more shuffling policy was never anywhere seen than that of Mr. Ross in dealing with the great moral question of temperance. He had taken upon himself a sacred trust from the temperance people, and he had betrayed it. He had asked them to undertake an impos- sible task. Ire had worked the liquor men to the utmost. Licenses held by decent men had been taken away from thele because they were Conservatives and given to heelers. Ile had prostituted the whole trade to his own selfish ends. Now he was trying to deceive the temper- anee people, but he has over -reach- ed himself. A WORD TO DAIRY FARMERS. As a means of converting the raw products of the farm into more saleable form, the good dairy cow is without t>, peer. The good beef- ing animal will pay very little more than. market prices for food fed Frons birth to shambles, The sheep, with her fleece and her lambs gives only a very modest profit on food consumed. The pig and -the hon, if wisely fed, do. much better than either of the above, bot it is very seldom that the returns from either of them go boyoud one dollar and fifty cents for one dollar's worth of food consumed. The dairy cow, however, fre- quently goes as high as two dollars worth of product for one dollar's worth of food, and many a cow has been known to give two dollars and. fifty cents worth of products for one dollar's worth of food con- sumed. Most herds fall far short of such a high return. Tho reasons may be summarized as lack of breeding, improper or insufficient feeding, lack of judgment and management. Every dairy herd should average over fifty dollars' worth of pro- ducts per cow per year, If your herd is not giving you such a re- turn you are not doing it justice. Possibly, every individual in the herd is not a number one dairy cow, but do you know which are really doing good work and the re- lative merits of the different cows? In order to know your cows you must keep a daily record of the milk yielded by each cow, We would like to see you do this. We are willing to help you do it. Dur- ing the past year a number of dairy farmers, at our suggestion, made an effort along this line. The re- sults were most satisfactory. In our possession are many farmers' letters, emphasizing the importance and value of such records, both as a guide in selecting cows and as au effective means of directly improv- ing the actual herd. The extra outlay required is very small. We would supply you with record forms for a time at least. The keeping of such records takes about one half minute per cow per day. Tho outlay for a balance would be from fifty cents to five dollars. The increased flow of milk due to keeping such a record where ten cows are kept would pay for the balance in a week. Keeping milk- ing records induces a spirit of in- terest and competition among milk- ers, and, in the mind of the milker, among the cows milked by the same milker. Rapid, clean and careful milking will raise the aver- age return from a cow by from two to ten per cent. according to the cow—the better the cow the greater the increase. If you ever sell cows, the ability to give -an accurate milk record will, generally speaking, raise a cow's value and facilitate the sale. Especially is this true if she is a pure bred. Further, knowing the return from each cow in any herd, you are is a position to easily select for breeding ; besides, in almost every herd are found "Boarders" —cows that pay a very low price for their food, leave no profit, and` are frequently kept at a loss. They should be detected and fed off for beef. Keeping a milk record is a sure way to discover them. To the breeder of pure bred stock of any of the milking breeds, Jersey, Guernsey, Ayrshire, Canadian, or milking Shorthorn strains, the daily milk record should be quite as im- portant as the breeding record, We venture the assumption that in a very few years, every breed put- ting forward any claim as a dairy brsed, Will be making a specialty of milk records. The reasons are obvious. Beau- ty of style, color and conformation are very important, and where the breeder makes his money in some other line than farming, he may be able to keep animals for their looks alone. We, who are farming for money, must look to the profit side of everything. With us, "Hand- some is as handsome does." The Holstein men have made a move in the right direction with their advanced Registry ; the Guernsey breeders are working along similar lines. It would thus seem to be a good thing for some breeds, and we are sure it would be the most important step for im- provement that you ever made ; do you decide to introduce it? Let us urge upon you, therefore, the advisability of keeping such a record. We would be most happy to send you forms for keeping the daily record, as well as. forms whereon to make a suminary to be kept for reference. When you write for the forms, please state the number of cows kept, and ad- dress all letters to :—"J. 11.
