And now we shall watch to see if it is two B, or not to B. * ** —For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1906, the total foreign trade of Canada was $546,929,038, as compared with $465,228,307 in 1904-05, an increase of $81,700,731. The chief gain in exports was under the heading of agricultural products, amounting to $24,068,187. *** —Over 10,000 naturalizations were reported to the department of the Secretary of State for 1905. The reve- nue of the department derived from fees amounted to $65,589.65 during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1905, com- pared with $58,256,.35 in the previous fiscal year. * * —Rat Portage or Kenora gives dy- namite explosions as the cause of twenty-seven deaths in that district in the last six months. Most of the vic- tims were laborers on railway work. Civilization takes its toll iu human life for every war that is fought, for every railway that is built. * —Speaking at the Toronto Fair, Hon. Frank Cochrane told the gather- ing that 05 to 97 per cent. of the reve- nue of his department came from New Ontario. He had lived up there for thirty years, and he said that no Gov- ernment could do too much to open up the country. The farmers must not complain if next year a large sum of money was asked for the building of roads in the new region. The Gov- ernment is sending an agent to New Ontario to establish an agricultural centre and aid in the work of de- velopment. * * —At the last session of the Dominion Parliament a bill was passed compel- ling milk dealers to have all bottles and cans used in the sale of milk and cream stamped and verified by Gov- ernment inspectors, appointed under the weights and pleasures act. The bill was introduced by Archibald Campbell, M. P., in the interests of farmers, who, he declared, were often the victims of fraud, being compelled by unscrupulous dealers to fill cans marked eight gallons when in reality they held much more. The new law will go into effect October 13th, and all dealers not having their cans stamped by that time will be liable to a fine of $50. A section of the statute says that one-half the fee provided for in the law will be charged dealers for stamping cans, provided that they are presented for inspection before October 13th. * * —The Weekly Sun says : Of the ten and a half million dollars paid in iron and steel bounties, in the last twenty- two years, by the Dominion Govern- ment, upwards of $4,000,000 has come out of the pockets of Ontario taxpay- ers, and chiefly from Ontario farmers. Ontario's contribution to the bounties paid is almost equal to the market value of the barley and oat crops of tbe counties of Simcoe and Grey in a. normal year. Simcoe and Grey far- mers know something of the toil re- quired to produce these crops. How do they like having the product of their toil tolled that the beneficiaries of the bounty system may indulge in luxury of summer palaces and fast yachts ? Under legislation passed in 1003 the iron and steel bounties have been gradually reduced since 1904. While $3 per ton was paid in iron and $3 on steel, in 1903, the law provided that only 55 per cent. of this sum should be paid in the year ending with June Iast. With June of next year the bounties will, unless new legisla- tion is enacted, wholly cease. Farm- ers should see that there is no new legislation. *** —Railway construction operations continue to increase in extent and ac- tivity, and the increasing demand for Tabor and material in this connection affect, directly or indirectly, to a marked degree, the leading centres of industry and the general market for labor throughout the Dominion. The number of men employed in the actual work of construction was largely in- creased during August, and it was stated that additional numbers will be given employment as the moon ad- vaW s's, Iii connoatlau mots prwrtloutar- ly with the construction of .the Na- tional Transcontinental line. It was roughly estimated that some 10,000 men were employed in connection with contracts let for the new Trans- continental line, and that about 4,000 men were employed on construction work by the Canadian Pacific Railway Company in Western Canada, In connection with several of the con- tracts the securing of an adequate supply of labor, as above stated, was reported a serious problem, especially when taken in connection with the heavy demand for men for the wes- tern harvest. * —The Calgary Albertan believes that the census of 1911 will show more than one-third of the people of Cana- da to west of the Great Lakes, and that by 1916 the West will have an ab- solute majority of the population. This means that the Parliament of 1021 will draw its majority from the four Provinces of Manitoba, Saskat- chewan, Alberta and British Colum- bia. There is now more than a million of people in the Western Provinces. 'While the census figures are not com- plete it is estimated that the Province of Alberta will show a population of 180,000. The Province of Manitoba, which had a population of 255,211 in 1901, has shown an increase of 33,000 in Winnipeg, and will probably show a population of 400,000 for the entire Province. No census has been taken of British Columbia, but it is estimat- ed that with the expansion of Van- couver and some of the cities in Southern British Columbia, the popu- lation is not far short of 250,000. These figures give a total population to the Western Provinces of 1,100,000, and the calculation probably will prove to be fairly accurate. *** —Where is Cobalt ? What is Cobalt? These are queries 'from every point of the compass. The discoveries of seem- ingly unlimited mineral deposits in the primeval forests of the scarcely explored and less inhabited New On- tario, a little more than a year ago, have drawn thousands of men from almost every •section of the globe to seek their fortunes in this new land of promise, and there is every evidence and reason that their hopes will not be blasted on the bleak buttes of a Northern shore. When we speak of the Cobalt country we have in mind a strip of territory varying from fifty to one hundred and fifty miles in breadth and extending from Latchford, seven- ty-five miles north of North Bay, Ont., right through to James Bay, nearly five hundred 'miles north. More than one-third of this vast territory is min- eral land, and when one considers that one-fifth of the mineral land rights have as yet been applied for and that the shipping mines established since the fust discoveries already aggregate in value more than $100,000,000, an ap- proximate idea of the potential wealth of the entire territory when in de- velopment may be gained. * * —During the year ending with June last the Canadian Pacific sold 1,115,743 acres of land, at an average price of $5.81 per acre. These sales were made from the twenty-six and• one-half million acres which formed part of the bonus the company received from the Dominion Government for building its transcontinental line and various branches in the North-West. The company still holds nearly 10,000,000 acres of the land so granted, and, as- suming that this balance realizes tbe same price as was obtained on last year's sales, the sum obtained from this source will be $58,000,000. The total revenue of the C. P. R. from land sales, up to the end of its last financial year, was almost $50,000,000, so that the grand aggregate received from this source by the time all its lands are disposed of, will, it is fair to as- sume, be at least $108,000,000. This is equal to over $14,000 per mile for every mile of the C. P. R. system, in- cluding those acquired branches in Ontario, such as the old Toronto, Grey and Bruce, which were liberally subsi- dized before the company now in pos- session obtained control. The C. P.R. has, in its land grants alone, half a dozen Cobalts rolled into one. * • —In referring to the address of President Mowat at the Liberal As- sociation in Toronto last week, the Toronto News has this to say :— "Concerning the Ontario Govern- ment, Mr. Mowat said that reckless- ness and want of economic skill were bound to appear under Conservative rule. If this be true this unhappy land is between the devil and the deep sea, The Ross Administration showed a good deal of recklessness in the Three Norths, and before that in West Elgin, and much of their econo- mic skill was wasted in an endeavor to purchase support, not only in the country, but in the House. The Lib- eral Government is Ottawa has been so reckless that during the past ses- sion the most desperate efforts were made to prevent witnesses called to Public Accounts Committee from an- swering. Economic skill was not dis- played to any alarming extent in the Saskatchewan land deal, nor in the purchase of Arctic supplies, We mist supplement Mr. Mowat's remarks by saying that recklessness and want of economic skill are bound to appear under Liberal rule as well. Both par- ties are subject to dry rotwhen they are in office too long, The growth of an independent spirit among the electors is the only safeguard."

CANADA'S TRADE WITH BRITAIN, Returns just published of Canada's foreign trade for the year ending June 30, 1000, show that exports of Cana- dian cheese to the British markets to- talled 214,877,077 lbs„ of a value of $24,300,008. This is almost the same quantity as found its way to the United I:ingdoin in 1905, but the bet- ter prices prevailing in 1000 showed an increase in the valve of this trade amounting to $1,120,697, The total of 32,004,000 lbs. of Cana- dian butter, valued at $0,802,003, found its way to Britain last year, which re- presents an increase of 2,914,321 lbs., and an increase in value of $1,323,004. Canadian bacon to the amount of 98,173,212 lbs„ valued at $11,503,010, found its way to the British market, as compared with 116,705,157 lbs., worth $12,180,817, in the year 1905. Canadian wheat exports to the Motherland in 1900 were 36,027,692 bushels, as compared with 11,280,407 bushels in the previous 12 months. A total of 13,503,781 lbs, of canned merits, valued at $1,340,880, were mar- keted in Britain, compared with 38,- 100,651 lbs., valued at $3,525,270, in 1905. 166,278 cattle, valued at $11,- 079,005, were exported to the Mother- land last year, which about equalled the trade of 1905. Sales of Canadian eggs in England in 1906 totalled 2,088,977 dozen, valued at $448,403, as compared with 3,352;485 dozen in 1905, of a value of $660,610. • GEESE FOR PROFIT. Geese can be raised best without bathing water. A too heavy diet of grain is apt to produce vertigo. Growing goslins are greater grass eaters than old geese. In China goose dung is highly es- teemed as a fertilizer. Wet, marshy land seems to be the ideal soil for goose culture. While Toulouse geese are good lay- ers, they do not become broody so readily as other varieties. It is estimated that a pair of Tou- louse geese will yield two dollars' worth of feathers in a year. Embden geese lay fewer eggs than the Toulouse, but are more inclined to become broody and make better mo- thers. Green geese, at ten or eleven weeks of age should weigh about fifteen to twenty pounds to the pair, and for which there is a good demand. It will require about fourteen days to fatten a goose for market in June, but in fall, when the weather is cool, they fatten much quicker, as they consume more food. Geese should be kept separate from other poultry, especially during the breeding season. They should not be quartered where there are young fruit trees as they are apt to peel off the tender bark. Newman says the Toulouse goose is the most remarkable to raise. It grows the largest, matures the quick- est, is more of a stay-at-home, does not take to water so readily as other varieties, grows more rapidly, ac- cumulates fat faster, and is not so noisy. The writer feeds his breeding geese a morning mash composed of equal parts, by weight, of bran, cornmeal, middlings, ground oats and meat scraps, fed dry ; at night, equal parts of cornmeal and cracked corn, allow- ing two handfuls of grain to each goose. During the day they have content access to fresh water and a grass range. A Famous School. CENTRAL STRATFORD. ONT. This school is recognized to be one of the best Commercial Schools in the Province.
