The most fastidious grumbler could not find a peg in this regard on which to hang even the flimsiest of ,oc mplaints. • , Augmented Profits. The farmer views progress not only by enhanced production, but also by ' augmented profits ; and under each of these headings he shoves up well. The value ot some Canadian farm pro- ducts exported last year showed a phenomenal inereese in volume, when compared with 1890, such as peas, which had risen from $1,299,491 in the jotter year to $2,674,712 in 1901; flour which had risen Irom $718,438 in 18e6 to $4,015,226 last year ; and oats, which in Thee amounted to V78,861, had risen In 1901 to S2,490,521. , Growling tirade in nutter. In the butter trade the value of the export*, in 1901 was $3,295,063, har- ing increased from $1,052,08e 10 1896, or over 200 per cent., while from the port of Montreal alone the number of packageo carried in cold storage Increaeed frolm 27,80e in 1900 to 410,893 in 1001, Canadian butter is certainly winning a better relative place in the markets ot the United Kingdom than it has occupied at any previous periods. The bacon trade also manifested phenomenal progress. In 1896 the value of the exports of pork, bacon, barna etc., was only $4,446,884, whereos at tlee close of the last fis- cal year it had risen to $11,829,820. Our Great Cheese Itxport. In cheese, while in 1896 the ex - poets valued $13,956,571, in 1900 they exceeded $10.800,000, and in le01 reached $20,690,951. There has been a threatened falling off in the export of cheese this year ; but it is expected that tit's' will be More titan counterbalanced during tha cnrrent twelve months by the establishment of consolidated curing rooms. It ie satisfactory to learn that Canadian eggs are favorites in Great Britain; and, ass importers have dis- tinctly stated how they. can be sue- cissfulle- put at best rates on the English nterkete, Mr. Fisher has taken this opportunity of Instructing poultry keepers how to prepare, pack deepatch. The special fattening of chickens for old country mnrkets has passed beyond the trial etage, and here, again, the spirited enterprise ot the Minioter itnit redounded to the profit of the poultry keeper.

The continued eystematie testing of promising varieties of agricultural crops obtainable in different ports of the world line placed Canadian farmers in the van as to knowledge of the beet and must productive aorta of agricultural products. They have learned to observe the characteristic difference in varieties, and, their powers of observation thus awakened, they have been led to bring these facultless to bear pn other problems la their business, to their individual advantage and profit. Their neigh- bors, in time, have become interested In this work, and have 'benefited thereby, and the good affluence hoe thus been rapidly extending through all sections of the farming com- munity. The new feature let the annual dia trIbution of seed, intreduped, under the Instructions of the Minister or Agriculture, three years lige, has made this work InpaeasileglY bene'. ficial. Under the new arrangement, larger samples than those hitherto sent have been torwardedt the seed sent Out bang sufficient for one- tenth of an acre.

It would not do for a wasll waist, but its applicable to an old one of silk, or 'to an old black lace waist, or a crepe de ohine thea 1 hoe loan better days. It can also be applied 'to the old "party" waist , with which all *oaten, however poor, seem miraculously endowted. For title popular trimming, take a whole piece of very narrow; mauve satin ribbon, the narrower the better. Sew it on the waist In ovals, 'the figures tntervening. If you dare not trust your eye, go over it first with a teed pencil marking out 'the ovals. For a pat- tern use a large oval of any de- scriptioto An ingenious girl actually mark- ed her walst with a certain crack- er which comes in a long oval shape, going around the cracker with a lead pencil' and moving it along until her entice shirt waist lies ibeen covered with these fig - urea.
