-At a meeting of about forty
manufacturers and dealers, called
at the suggestion of the Fire Com-
missioner of New York, to consider
the possibility of finding a match
that would be safe to use, it was
stated that the safety match is in
reality no safer than the parlor
match.

--The inhabitants of the United
States, including Porto Rico,
Ha-
waii and the Phillipine Islands,
number about 88 millions -that is,
barely 5 per cent. of the world's
total inhabitants, according to its
highest estimate. This 5 per cent
has at present taken possession of
25 per cent. of all the cultivated
a reaof the earth, viz., 407.4 mil-
lion acres out of 1629.3 million
acres.

-In view of the fact that an-
other immense subsidy may be
asked for a new line to the Pacific
coast, the Bobcaygeon Independent
says :-The Canadians are the only
people in the world who make free
gifts of money, under the name of
subsidies, to private railway specu-
lators and private railway com-
panies. In making such free gifts
there are no conditions whatever
attached. The gifts are in every
sense of the word free. The rail-
ways grab the subsidies and give
absolutely nothing in return for
the gift.

-The Petrolea oil territory was
first opened up forty years ago ; it
to -day boasts no less than 10,000
wells, and together with the smaller
Ontario fields it produces about
$750,000 worth of crude petroleum
per annum. The more oil fields
discovered in Canada the better.
What this country, and especially
this province, needs as much as
anything is a fuel supply of its
own. If crude•petroleum and peat
can be discovered in. sufficient
quantities and .economically utiliz-
ed to the best purpose, the handi-
cap Ontario suffers in the lack of
coal fields may be thereby largely
offset.
In the Old KENT BLOCK You Can Find
Lots of Suitable Gifts.
Silks and Ribbons are always acceptable ;. Kid Gloves,
Silk Handkerchiefs, Ties, Scarfs, Booties, Curtains, Gilt
Drapery for screens and cushions. Then remember that the

try here first you save money.

Ontario is now, from an agricul-
tural standpoint, a billion dollar
Province.
The value of all the farm proper-
ty in Ontario, after having ranged
in the nine hundred thousands for
years, has at last passed the billion
mark, the total for the year ending
1901. being placed by the Bureau of
Industries at $1,001,323,296. This
is made up of $585,354,294 in Iand,
$226,575,228 in buildings, $59,-
897,513 in implements, and $129,-
496,261 in live stock.
Middlesex still ranks as the pre-
mier county. The farm land in
Middlesex is valued at Over $30,-
000,000, Huron coming next with
a valuation of twenty-eight and
one-half millions.
In buildings, Middlesex is also
ahead, with a total of $10,902,000,
Huron again coming second with
$10,643,000.
In implements, Grey takes first
position, with a total valuation of
$2,709,000, Huron coming next
with $2,690,000, Simcoe third with
$2,672,000, and Middlesex ranking
fourth with a valuation of $2,-
636,000.
In live stock, Middlesex is first,
at $6,764,000, Huron once more ta-
king second place with $6,116,000.
Lumping all four classes of farm
property together gives Middlesex
a valuation of $50,367,000, and
Huron a total of $48,640,000.
VALUES PER ACRE
When it conies to value per acre,
however, quite a lot of counties
rank ahead of both Middlesex and
Huron, The valuation per acre ill
the counties whioh rank among the
first is as follows
Lincoln $50.54
Wentworth 48.00
York 46.30
Oxford 43.06
Halton 42.26
Kent 41.51
Brant 40,61
Middlesex and Huron are rated
at $39,67 and 835.80 respectively.
One of the mails causes of the in-
crease in the value of Ontario farm
property is found in the bacon hog,
Although the number sold or
slaughtered in 1901 -1,073,405 -
was 83,000 less than for the spar
before, the value of the flogs thus
disposed of was 317,548,490, or
nearly $2,000,000 more than for
the year before.
