--Hon. A. G, Blair resigned the

the Grand Trunk Pacifie Railway, as
forced through Parliament by the
Liberals, was a wild and reckless vett
ture, projected through tunknowu re-
gions with 110 prospect of returns, and
for 1,800 miles likely to be no better
than scrap iron.. Mr. Blair said the
scheme wotilci cost the country one
hundred and thirty-nine millions.
The best estimate under the amended
agreement is one hundred and seventy
millions. The population of Canada
is 5,371,315. This extravagant project
will cost the people of Canada $31.60

-The charges made in the forth-
coming election protest trials are tre-
mendously -awful and if halt of then
are true, Ontario will have reason to
hang her head in shame at the degra-
dation into which her polities have
fallen. Regarding North Grey, The
Owen Sound Tittles says -"For the
sake of the good Dante of North Grey,
for the sake of all 'that is decent, for
the hoPb of a purer political life in
this province, the Times hopes that
not half of the charges have founda-
tion. There are almost 800 in all, 287
to be exact, and they cover every poli-
tical crime in the calendar. One mem-
ber of the ministry has dragged his
name into the North Grey cesspool,
while the Buffalo gang will add seusa-
tion to that memorable death struggle
of the Ross administration on Jan. 7.
The particulars are set forth briefly in
300 typewritten pages of foolscap."
The trial is dated for September 13th.

N. T. Bacon, writing in the Sep-
tember Booklovers' Magazine, throws
a flood of light on Russian official
methods. It is, he says, an accepted
part of the Russian system that offi-
cials shall live by exactions. Six years
ago a secret official report to the Czar
on the discontent in Poland gave _offi-
cial extortions as the main cause, and
recontnended that the salaries of offi-
cials should be made sufficient to live
on, and that they should then be held
strictly responsible. The Czar's own
copy of this report was stolen for the
London Times, and bore a note on the
margin in his handwriting, saying :
"This is to be done as soon as the
treasury shows the necessary funds."
The war with Turkey revealed such a
rotten condition of officialdom to
Alexander II that it caused hint to
turn to his brother with the despair-
ing remark : "I believe that you and
I are the only two men in Russia who
have not been bribed."

-Until the present year railway
companies in Ontario were taxed a
maximum of $5 per utile for each mile
of railway between terminus and ter-
minus, the measurement not including
switches or sidings, or double measure-
ment in case of double tracks. Elec-
tric railways were
exempted. a ted. Undernder
the new Act, steam railways are re-
quired to pay a tax of $30 per mile for
one track, and $10 per mile for each
additional track in any county of the
province, and $20 per mile for one
track, and $5 per mile for each addi-
tional track in districts outside of
county organization. In cases, how-
ever, where the railway is less than
one hundred and fifty miles in length
from terminus to terminus, only $15
per utile for one track and $5 per mile
for each additional track is to be
charged. rAs under the old Act, the
total amount of taxation is never to
exceed the shuns named, even though
more than one company owns or oper-
ates trains on the line, Switches and
sidings also, as before, are not includ-
ed in the measurement, and by impli-
tatlon the provisions do not refer to
electric railways or tramways.
WHAT A WOMAN COULD DO WITH
SIX COWS.
of the cream, taking a cream testing
0 per cent, butterfat, and sealing it itt
twenty rents per quart, we would
have 5531.80. It is Bard to estimate
the cost of labor in securing the eteam
but we will say $100, which. leaves
$224.80 11S profit, after deducting mist
of food.
Making the ;milk up into butter and
getting au average price of 20. cents
per polio& would bring in, after de-
ducting cost of food, $100,20, In the
latter case, all the skim milk and but-
termilk is left on the farm, and be-
sides offsetting the labor part of the
question, should materially help the
financial part,. for pig and poultry rais-
ing shanid be no small branch of the
dairy industry. Then, we must not
forget the increase to the herd in the
form of good calves, and also the fey- -
tilizing value of the naamare.
Making cheese is carried on usually
only part of the year, s.ti T have not
estimated the profit from it. In sell-
ing milk to a factory, the price differs
so greatly with the season and district
that I cannot' compute the gain, but
taking one year with another, I think
there is no better way of disposing of
the milk, and it certainly relieves the
woman of a lot of hard work on the
farm.
I have not taken into consideration
the capital invested,. or the losses
which always occur, but I do think it
possible to secure a profit of from $30
to $50 apiece from cows which are
properly fed and well cared for.
(From Farmer's Advocate.)
We estimate that a cow to be profit-
able
should give 6,000 lbs. of milk of
average quality, or make 250 lbs. of
butter during the year, It is Mir to
say that a cow may be kept well on
$35' a year, This .'amount includes
51.00 a month per head for pasture.
The food cost of keeping six tows is
5210. We have five or six ways of
disposing of the product of the cow,
and it remains with the woman 'who
has the six cows ta- choose the one
most adapted to her locality, eireum-
stances or home conditions. If near a
thriving totem or city, she night sell
the whole milk or cream, If farther
in the country, but near a good mar-
ket or railway station, she might make
batter or cheese, while if more issolat•
ed, god a cheese, butter or condensed -
factory be in the neighborhood,
then send the milk to R. he main
thing is to have plenty of Milk of good
quality, then the judicious disposing
of it, no matter in whet form, will -
bring the profit on the right side.
If milk is sold by the quart it now
usually brings silt cents; per oat.
We will allow three rents of this to go
for expenses. 80,827 pounds of milk
at three tents per quart L $471.84.
Subtract *2101, cost of food, and we
have left es profit $261.84,

STATE RAILWAYS IN NEW ZEALAND.
The following from the Toronto
News shows the advantages of State-
owned railways. There is much for
Canadians to ponder over in the arti-
cle, After heavily bonusing the .rail-
ways, and letting them go light so far
as taxation is concerned, Canadians
pay vastly more for railway transpor-
tation than people in New Zealand.
The reason seems to be that in New
Zealand, the State owns the railways,
while here, they are the property of
corporations, and if the railways do
not own the country, they have a
mighty power in securing legislation
favorable to themselves. Here is the
article referred to :-
"After we have earned enough to
pay the expenses of operation and the
Interest on the money borrowed to
build the roads," said the New Zealand
Minister for Railways. a few years
ago, "we reduce charges as rapidly as
profits increase." The Premier of
New Zealand abort the same time de-
clared his railway policy to be that
"any profit over the three per cent.
needed to pay interest on cost must be
returned to the people in lower rates
and better accommodation."
Some of the passenger rates are
startling to people on this continent•.
School excursions are held to allow
city children to enjoy the country and
to give the pupils of rural schools a
chance to study the city. In these
excursions children under fifteen years
of age can go one hundred miles and
back for half a dollar. The rate falls
as low as four miles for one cent.
Older children and the teachers pay
one dollar for the journey. The prin-
ciple is pushed even further. On the
State railways of New Zealand, South
Australia, Ne3v South Wales and
Queensland ehildren in the primary
grades are carried to school free.
People's excursions are held, If the
distance is fifty miles and back, the
adults are charged sixty-six cents -2s.
Od-and the children twenty-eight
cents --Is. 2d. Suburban services are
given in the principal towns and the
fare is placed at fifty cents a week -
practically the same price as that giv-
en by the electric railway here.
The New Zealand railways make
the three per cent. for which the Pre-
mier stipulated, and have a margin to
spare. They are free from the burden
of dividends and free from domination
by corporate interests. The people of
New Zealand found all the money
needed, and own the lines."
