36T11 YEAR, NO. 44.
Canada's Birthday.
As a confederation of provinces,
Canada enters to -day, Ally let, 1909,
her forty-third year.
On July 1st, 1867, the confederation
of Ontario, Quebec, Nova. Scotia and
New Brunswick, was accomplished,
for governmental purposes.
Manitoba was admitted July 15, 1870
and British Columbia on July 20th,
1871, Two years later, July 1st, 1873,
the Dominion opened its arms to re-
ceive Prince Edward Island. The
Territories of Assiniboia, Saskatche-
wan, Alberta and Athabasca were
created May 17, 1882, and in 1905 these
territories were formed into two new
provinces, Saskatchewan and Alberta.
Yuko became a Territory in 1898.
There are four elements that tend
to the wealth and prosperity of a
country :-
1—Agricultural possibilities.
2—Mineral wealth.
3—Fisheries and forests.
4—Transportation facilities.
Canada has all these ; hence her
future development is assured. Look
at the immense agricultural possibili-
ties of the great wheat -producing
Northwest, measuring its productive-
ness by the millions of bushels, Nor
have the older provinces produced
anything like what they are capable
of, under improved systems of agricul-
ture. Though much of our forest
wealth has cheer. squandered, much
remains, of pine and pulpwood. ' Our
fisheries are also an asset valuable
indeed. But no one can set a limit t.o
our mineral wealth, for as yet we are
only beginning to find out how much
we have, and our stores of coal, gold,
silver, lead, copper and iron, are only
in the infancy of their development.
Who can measure Canada's great-
ness a few decades hence ? Only a
few years ago our now fertile West
was unknown, so far as being ,of any
practical value. Behold it now—the
granary of , the mightiest empire on
the -face of the globe. The once track-
less prairie now yields sustenance for
millions. What was once (and not so
very long ago) uninhabited, except by
a few roving Indians, has furnished
homes for thousands, and is now dot-
ted with rising villages, busy towns
and wealthy cities. Even our far
Northland is now found to be capable
of producing grain, and a large flour
mill is doing work as far north as
Vermillion, in a section of country
until recently thought worthless for
agricultural purposes.
A Kind Farewell.
On Wednesday evening, June 23rd,
Wesley Hall, London, was filled with
membersand friends of First Metho-
dist Church, to bid farewell to the re-
tiring pastor, Rev. Dr. Rutledge and
his family. Dr. Eccles, chairman,
said :—"I' am sure I voice the senti-
ment of all here, when I say we are
extremely sorry to see Dr. Rutledge
leaving our church and our city. Ile
was always straightforward, honest
and full of earnestness,
11r. )Nilson, superintendent of the
Sunday School said, he always found
Dr. Rutledge ready to offer a helping
hand at all times. Ile was kind and
always obliging, and the school appre-
ciate his services very much.
Mrs, Rutledge will also be greatly
missed from the school, and particn-
larly'the higher class, where she did
couch good during the past two years.
She has enlarged the class greatly.
They have enjoyed her help, and in-
deed have been helped by her. Mr.
Watson said the whole family have
been exceedingly kind and helpful, for
which kindnesses the echool is ex-
tremely grateful.
Rev's, J. G. Inkster, A. K. Birks, E.
13. Lanceley and others also paid tri-
bute to Dr. Rutledge and his esteem-
ed family,
In replying, Dr. Rutledge said :—
"You as a congregation have loyally
held my hand. If 'anything has been
accomplished during these past two
years, it was because of your loyalty.
I have always tried to preach to
weary hearts and keep before me the
vision of the Christ that never fails.
I thank you with all my heart for
your many kindnesses shown me, and
you may rest assured that I will never
forget them wherever I •go. I pray
that you may be blessed and may be
made a blessing."
Dr. Rutledge and family arrived,in
Wingham on Tuesday evening, and
were met at the station by members
of the Official Board. They were
driven to the parsonage, where the
Ladies' Aid had prepared refresh-
ments for them.
The Advance welcomes the new pas-
tor of the Methodist Church and his
family to our town, hoping that their
residence here may be congenial to
them, and helpful to the Church with
which they are identified.
A fine transcontinental railway with
splendid service connects the east
coast with the west. A second mighty
girdle of steel is being thrown across
the continent on Canadian soil, and
another railway is steadily reaching
eastward and westward to form a
third trunk line across Canada. Along
these railways and their branches
there is room for the homes of millions
and for a thousand cities. Besides
this extensive_ railway system, our
chain of lake and river transportation
is unexcelled; and unitedly these fur-
nish abundant facilities for conveying
our products, to the world's markets,
Already Canada is the acknowledged
highway of commer`e between the
Old land and the far east countries,
such as China and Japan, while fleets
of fast steamers ply east and west,
bringing to us the world's merchan-
dise, and returning laden with the
world's bread.
Nor is our own province—quiet,
staid 'Ontario,
lacking in w
ealth
p
ro=
clueing factors. Agriculture here holds
sway ; but at the same time, we have
the richest silver and nickel mines in
the world. (aur Cobalts and Gow
Gandas have only begun to lay their
treasures at our feet. With such im-
inense mineral deposits, progress and
development must of necessity follow,
and these mean to Ontario, prosperity.
Great is our heritage Wonderful
are our resources
THE PURITY OP MiLK.
Wingham, June 21, '09.
To the Editor of the Advance.
DEAR Sin :—The Pure Milk COM -
mission recently appointed in Toronto
has aroused considerable interest
amongst the consumers in this pro.
vince. In a report 9n the influence of
milk spreading disease in England, it
was able to show tbat it was responsi-
ble for 95 local outbreaks of diptheria,
scarlet fever, typhoid and allied dis-
eases. In 83 instances where the facts
are recorded, 2916 cases of disease
were caused by specifically -contami-
nated milk. .
The purity of milk depends upon :
(1st) --Health of the cow ; (2nd)—Free-
dom from contamination with noxious
microbes. A good state of health is
necessary for the production of good
wholesome milk combined with con•
genial surroundings for the animal.
Most cow sheds and stables adjoin
other buildings, ventilated and lighted
from one side only. Windows are
small and are seldom if ever opened,
so that both lighting and ventilation
are defective. Cleanliness is another
important tant fa t r aroundnd the
Floors are imperfect; not sufficient
fall to insure drainage ; theexcreta is
not removed often enough and parti-
cles are 'found sticking to the walls.
and woodwork. Cob -webs hang from
the beams and the corners 'are loaded
with dust, offering harbour for all
sorts of contagion. Walls are lime-
washed only once every 10 years.
Many cow -stables are only cleaned out
onoe a week and seldom thoroughly
done at that. The surroundings of
cow -stables, such as mentioned, must
be perfect hot beds of contagion, and
the atmosphere laden with germs
which gain access to the milk during
the milking operations. How few
milkers think of washing their hands,
or of cleansing the udder before com-
mencing milking? Any filth or dirt
consequently falls into the milking -
pail. Another insidious evil is the
Separator placed in the barn, where
the milk is separated amid the whisk-
ings of cows' tails, flies and dust.
Thrbughbut the country, there are
condition
' s where thison i
scores of farm
prevails.
The milk of badly nourished Bows
(even if not actually suffering from
disease) cannot be a wholesome diet,
and should not he used as an article
of food. If our milk production le to
be improved, there will have to be a
stricter enforcement of sanitary lavys
in the future.
Yours,
AN OnemavEa,
What we need is real, big men in
public life, Yuen big in spirit, purpose
and achievement; honest men and
true, men with clean records, With
these in our parliaments, mere parti-
zanship would dwindle into insignifi'
Dance before the grandeur of our pos-
eibilities, and ugly graft and corrnp-
tion would hide their deformed fig-
ures, We hope for such men, who
will place country before sett ; the
Right before expediency ; principle
before party. Men are wanted who
will scorn to do wrong, and will not
swerve from Right.
Were such men at the helm (and
only each) thou ,half a century hence
Canada should be a leader among
earth's nations. But at time of writ -
of such men in the
the number
ing
country's public life is exceedingly
limited. So much the worse, for after
all a nation's ideal Is not the amassing
of wealth, nor the development of
great resources. The truest test of
the highest civilization is the produa-
tion of such men as we have described.
We close this article with the words
of a poet, whieh are appropriate in
this connection :---

the best of all the companies on the

enough showing to rank for second -
year pay and most of them ranked for
third year. The highest score was
made by Bugler Geo. Kell, of Gode-
rich, 63 out of 70. The Goderich-
Wingham company could congratu-
late itself also on being the best of-
flcered and best drilled, Carfrae Dun-
lop making a very popular captain
and Wm. Campbell of Wingham and
Dr. Sale, of Goderich, equally efficient
lieutenants."
Township Not Liable.
A case of local interest from Grey
township was heard in Goderich at
the High Court last week, viz.—Marsh
et al vs. the township of Grey, an
action for damages for injury to Mrs.
Marsh, for the Jtilling of a horse and
the breaking up' of a buggy. Mrs.
Marsh had both arms broken and was
otherwise seriously injured. Damages
were claimed from Grey because the
township had placed tile on land not
far from, thepublic highway. His
Lordship dismissed the action without
costs, holding that the township was
not liable. In case the judgment,
however, should be appealed, and the
appeal should succeed, he assessed the
damages at $1,000. R. Vanstone, of
Wingham, for the plaintiff ; W.
Proudfoot, K. C., for township.
Died in Manitoba.

Attended Two Weddings
Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Phelan of town

in Walkerton, and one in Dundalk.
In the former the groom (Mr. C. Dev-

Deverell) is her sister. The Bruce
