In the section devoted to Art and Agriculture, there is an instruc- tive review of Canada's agricultural requiements, coupled with a not al- together exhaustive description of how they are being met.

The farmer views progress not only Iv enhanced production, but also by augmented profits ; and under each of these beadings he shows up well. The value of some Canadian arm pro duets exported last year showed a phenomenal Increase in volume, when compared with 1896, such as peas which had risen front $1 299 494 in the teeter year to $2,074,712 in 1901; flour whin had risen from $716,433 in 1896 to $4,015,226 last year ; and oats, which In 1896 amounted to 278,861, bad risen in 1901 to $2,490,521. , ✓ farmers in the van as to knowledge of ot the best and most productive sorts of agricultural products,. They have learned to observe the characteristic difference in varieties, and, their ,powers of observatiou thus awakened, kf they have been led to bring these faculties to bear On other problems in their business, to their individual advantage and profit. Their neigh- bor, in time, hex° become interested in this work, and here 'benefited thereby, and the good influence has thus been rapidly extending through all sections of the farming com- munity. The new feature in the annual dis- tr1.bution of seed, introdueed, under the instructions of the Minister of Agrieulture, three years ago, has made tido work increasingly bene- ficial.

In the butter trade the value of the exporte in 1901 was $3,295,668, hav- ing increased from $1,058,089 in 1896, or over 200 per oent., while from the port of Montreal alone the number of packageo carried In cold storage increateed froen 27,863 in 1900 to 410,893 In 1901. Canadian butter le certainly winning a better relative place in the markets Of the United Kingdom than it has occupied at any previous period. Tim bacon trade also manifested phenomenal progress. In 1896 the value of the exports of pork, bacon, hams, etc., was only $4,446,884, whereae at the close of the last fis- cal year it had risen to $11,829,820. Our Great Cheese Export.

There has been a threatened falling off in the export of cheese this year ; but it is expected that th's will be more titan outiterbalanced during the current twelve mouths by the establishment of consolidetol curing rooms.
