One American syndicate has taken up a million acres. It predicts that 200,000 Americans will settle in the Canadian West this year. * 4 * —Professor Goldwin Smith, who writes for the Weekly Sun over the signature of "Bystander," says :— "Bystander likes Mr. Whitney's proposal of a consultative Council of Education, It would let fresh air into that bureaucracy, and there is no reason why it should not work as smoothly as the British Board of Admiralty, or Council of India." e . —A Bill creating the Territories of Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Arizona into States of the Ameri- can Union was passed by the House of Representatives at Wash- ington last week without a division and now goes to the Senate, where there is every prospect of its pass- age. The three Territories now have a population of about 1,009,- 000, Oklahoma claiming 600,000, and New Mexico and Arizona 200,- 000 each. If the bill passes, the total number of States will be forty- eight, and three new stars will be added to the American flag. • • —It is reported that two great Polar expeditions set out on the first week of April for the north polo. Lieut. Peary was to leave Gape Sabine in Greenland for a dash to the pole and E. B. Baldwin was to leave Franz Joseph Land the same week. Mr. Baldwin has the most perfectly equipped expe- dition which has ever been organ- ized, a New York millionaire, Mr. Zeigler, having put up $1,000,000 to pay the expenses of the expedi- tion. It remains to be seen wheth- er the scientific results of these ex- peditions are sufficient to justify the expenditure of money and life. • . —Two-thirds of all the letters which pass through the post offices of the world are written by and sent to people who speak English, says Bradstreet's. There are sub- stantially 500,000,000 persons speaking colloquially one or other of the ten or twelve chief modern languages, and of these about 25 per cent, or 125,000,000 persons, speak English. About 90,000,000 speak Rnssian, 75,000,000 German, 55,000,000 French, 45,000,000 Spanish, 35,000,000 Italian and 12,000,000 Portuguese, and the balance Hungarian, Dutch, Polish, Flemish, Bohemian, Gaelic, Rou- manian, Swedish, Finnish, Danish and Norwegian. Thus, while only one-quarter of those who employ the facilities of the postal depart- ments of civilized governments speak as their native tongue Eng- lish, two-thirds of those who cor- respond do so in the English lan- guage. There are, for instance, more than 20,000 post offices in India, the business of which in let- ters and papers aggregates more than 3oo,000,000 a year, and the business of these offices is done chiefly in English, though of In- dia's total population, which is nearly 3oo,000,000, fewer than 3oo, 00o persons either speak or un- derstand English. THE RURAL TELEPHONE. (Front Farmers Advocate.) We hope before the next census is taken to see the tide of popula- tion flowing eountryward. The telephone gives the country the ad- vantage of town conditions in many ways. It is the greatest time-saver and annihilator of dis- tance in modern life. Think of the thousands of miles of weary travel- ling every day by men, women and children and horses, and the incal- culable time, that it saves ] In a great many localities throughout Canada, physicians have been the first to establish local telephone systems for the benefit of their pa- trons, and these lines are, of course, used for more purposes than "call- ing the doctor" or the minister. Neighbors four or five miles apart talk to each other on business mat- ters over the 'phone, groceries are ordered from the village store, grain or stock can be bought or sold that way, hired help engaged, and ladies can do their "calling" over the wire instead of tramping or driving for miles over a muddy road. Many large farms now have telephones to different departments connected with the residence of the owner or manager. In some cases two neighbors have a line between them and the country store, and in others there will be six or seven on the circuit. Often the line runs to a village where there is a railway station and telegraph service,which greatly extends the sphere of its usefulness without falling into the hands of the general telephone sys- tem of the country. As to the eost of local telephone linea, we are fur- nished the following statement Depending upon the locality, good jcedar posts about 20 feet long will diene, in. Porcelain insulators cost' ree two cents each, and, in addition, small iron spikes or screws to fas- tem them to the posts or cross- pieces. Glass insulators and blocks cost about six cents each. No. 12 galvanized wire wilt answer, and will require from 125 to 150 lbs. to the mile, costing from 83.25 to 83.50 per 100 lbs. Two men will put up a mile of wire per day. The instruments cost $12.50 each, be- sides which some insulated wire and window tubes for the houses will be required. From time to time the water in the batteries will need renewing. Care must be ta- ken that the lines are kept perfect- ly insulated at all points, ORCHARD SUGGESTIONS. Made at Orchard Institute Meeting. In planting, trees should be given a slight slant towards the prevailing wind. The main roots should be placed so as to brace the trees against the wind, and the tree should be so headed that the main branches would not when loaded bend directly away from the tree and so be apt to break off. Trees, after they have grown crooked, may be straightened some- what by the use of the spade early in the spring, when the ground is soft. In pruning the south side of the tree it can be left a little thicker than the north side, as it receives more light and moisture. It pays to thin over -loaded trees at least 20 per cent., as the remain- ing fruit will 'ee of a better quality. A man who does not know a fruit bud from a leaf bud should never be allowed to prune a tree. You can hasten the development of fruit spurs and multiply the fruit buds by checking the growth of the wood. This can be (lone by pruning the roots with a spade, or by nipping off the ends of twigs. The latter method is preferable, as it does not impair the vitality of the tree as does the root cutting. Where large wounds are made in the trees from cutting off large limbs the wound should at once be painted over. A good paint mix- ture is made by mixing 2 lbs. ce- ment with 10 lbs. of milk. For an old wound where rotting has set in further injury may be prevented by using two parts of cement and one of sand, completely covering the wound so as to exclude the air. Orchards should be cultivated constantly until the middle of July then a cover crop of clover, rape or rye, to be plowed under next spring. Apples must be handled more like eggs than turnips if we expect to realize good prices for our fruit. The Baldwin, Ben Davis, Green- ing and Spy are at present the fa- vorite commercial variety. BORDEAUX MIXT1. nE.—After the blue stone is dissolved it should be put in 20 gallons of water, and the Iime after it is dissolved should be put in another 20 gallons of water. The two mixtures may then be brought together. If the lime and blue stone are brought together un- diluted they will curdle. Mr. Gaston strongly advises the use of lye as a wash for the trunks of trees. It should be applied ev- ery second year after the old bark has been scraped off. It not only destroys all bark lice, but seems to havema tonic effect upon the tree. Canada's Commercial Growth. The growth of a country's for- eign trade is not the only measure of its prosperity ; but it is at least a pretty fair indication of a coun- try's commercial and industrial condition. Internal trade is of course more profitable and import- ant than foreign trade; but where a country is selling more of its goods abroad and buying more from abroad than at any other pe- riod of its history, the fact is pretty good evidence that that country is wealthier than ever it was before. If Canada's prosperity were to be judged solely by the growth of its foreign trade, it would have to be adjudged the second most pros- perous country in the world. Our commercial expansion during the decade from 1890 to 1900 is exceed- ed only by that of Japan. This will he seen from the following ta- ble of increases published by the New York Herald :-- Percentage of increase during the decade. Imp"ts. Exp'ts.
