Gilbert, of the Central Ex- perirnental Farm, in discussing the fu- ture of the poultryindustry in Canada, pointed out that Great Britain buys $33,500,000 in eggs and $5,000,000 in poultry annually. Of this Canada sup- plies only $165,000 in all. * * r —Forty-six petitions against the en- actment 'of any clauses that will pre- vent the newly -created provinces from having unrestricted control of the es- tablishment or maintenance and con- trol of schools were presented in the House of Commons in one day, Mon- day of last week. * **• —Tho British Government has ar- ranged to make the telephone service of Great Britain a branch of the postal service of the country. The Govern- ment has already a telephone service of its own, but it has arranged in ad- dition to this to take over all private lines also on the first day of 1912, after which date the telephone service will be a public monopoly. * r * —The Algoma steel rail mill of the Lake Superior Corporation has made a new high record by blowing in 93 heats in 12 hours, or a total of 922 rails or 362 tons in a half clay. This would give a total of 724 tons in a day of 24 hours, while it was intended that the capacity of the mill should be 500 tons a day. The mill is trying to fill the 25,000 ton contract for the Canadian Pacific Railway as rapidly as possible. * —The battle of rMukden, recently fought between the Japanese and Rus= sians, was one of the greatest in an- cient or modern history. Waterloo, Austerlitz, Gettysburg and other awful conflicts sink into insignificance when compared with Mukden, where nearly a million men were engaged and 3,000 cannon belched forth death. The fol- lowing comparisons have been made : Battle. Men. Losses MUKDEN 900,000 150,000 Waterloo 221,000 51,000 Austerlitz 154,000 38,000 Gettysburg 185,000 44,000 Sedan. 314,000 47,000 Leipsig 471,000 107,000 * * —The Presbyterian says : "It may be argued that for the sake of peace and harmony conscientious scruples should be waived, and that this at- tempt to saddle these new provinces with separate schools should be allow- ed to pass without protest. But noth- ing is ever settled until it is settled right, and the issue may as well be faced now and here. The system is one that keeps alive the old feuds that must be buried if we are to have a united. Canadianism. It is contrary to the fundamental position of equal rights to all. Our public school sys- tem places all on an equal footing and robs no one of any rights that he may justly claim, and unless we are com- pelled by the constitution, we have.no right to fasten for all tune upon these new provinces a system which is con- trary to provincial rights and directly inimical to united. citizenship." * * —Dr, Judson F. Clarke, Provincial Forester, in a lecture in the Univer- sity of Toronto recently, said "Canada is sure to take a leading place as a producer of forest pro- ducts, She has woodland areas so vast as to almost stagger the ima- gination. She is most admirably situutted as regards the greatest future market for timber—the Mis- sissippi Valley. Her forests are chiefly coniferous, hence the most easily managed and having the highest producing capacity. Her spruce thirty or forty years hence will practically control the paper market of the world. In the past, however, our forest management, with the exception of somewhat batter protection from fire and in the retaining of the fee simple of the land in the State, has not dif- fered materially from the forest management, that, has devastated the forests of the United States, and which has begun the story of the reran -made desert in our own north country. Recently a tre- mendous step in advance was ta- ken in the adoption of the policy of placing the non-agricultural lands in forest reserves. The next a'd only logical step is to train mon ll? practical forest manege- ment, that tliess reserves may be perpetuated by wiseee: 1 pther words, to train practical f erre stt rs for care and management 4f the public forest domain, There is no reason why,- under rational forest management, the present revenue from our for'est lands should not be inereased many fold, not only without injury, but With aetual benefit to the fozeat." —A battle is bean; waged in Kansas which rivals in importance the strug- glo between the free soil and slavery pattiesof fifty years ago. The pres- ent conflict isbetween the State Legis- lature on the one side and the Stand- ard Oil monopoly on the other. Ilan- sas is a large oil producing State, and. the Standard Oil Company succeeded crushing out competition.. To give the oil pro:Ulcers relief the Legislature has passed a law providing for estab- lishment of an oil refinery owned and operated by the State, The Standard Oil Company has retaliated by closing up its refinery in Kansas, but its ac- tion appears to have stimulated the Kansas Legislature to more aggres- sive action. On the one side is a Mor-. poration whose wealth is equal to that of three-fourths of all the fanners in Ontario ; on the other is an indepen- dent commonwealth. The struggle will be watched with interest by a whole continent, and the outcome may have the most far-reaching conse- quences.—[Weekly Sun. * r * =--Railway consolidation, unless un- der effective public supervision, con- stitutes one of the most serious dan- gers menacing the United States. During a comparatively recent period 922 different roads have, according to Hon. a. Ro el t b . M. La Follette, been merged into six great systems, all of which are working together in har- mony. These six systems control over 178,000 miles of railway but of a total of a little over 200,000 in the United States, and are capitalized at upwards of nine billion dollars. .The Hien who control these railways control other industries as well. They control, or are allied with, the Standard Oil mo- nopoly, the great steel and coal trusts, and the monopoly enjoyed by the packing interest. This consolidation of interests, by its control of so many of the necessities of life, and still more by its practical monopoly of transportation, will have the power, unless placed under rigid public con- trol, to snake and break at will not only individuals but whole communi- ties. This is the problem that con- fronts the statesmen of to -day. * * —The action of Sir Wilfrid Laurier with regard to the Autonomy Bill now before the House is attracting considerable attention. When a Bill is introduced by the Government it is supposed that the Cabinet have given their consent and approbation to the measure. In this case it appears that at least two members of the Cabinet were noteonsultecl. Even Mr. Sifton, the Cabinet Minister representing the West, was not consulted in reference to the educational clauses, and not being in accord with his leader, very properly resigned his portfolio. Fi- nance Minister Fielding takes objec- tions to -the financial clauses. There is a storm of opposition all over the country, except perhaps from Quebec. Has it come to this in -free Canada, that an obnoxious measure must be forced upon the new provinces, at the dictation of Quebec or Quebec influ- ences ? Must Quebec rule the Do- minion ? Shall a Premier force dis- tasteful measures upon a free people, simply to please any one set of politi- cians or religionists? Is it right or necessary in the framing of Canadian laws that the dignitaries of any Church should be consulted, a measure framed accordingly, and then the Pre- mier of a free country force that mea- sure through, in the face of protests ? If these questions are to be answered in the affirmative, it is time Canadians knew the worst and prepared for it. If Sir Wilfrid contemplates such ac- tion, why did he not outline it when appealing to the people? Instead of that, when he finds himself returned by an overwhelrning majority, he in- troduces an obnoxious measure, throws off the mask, and even at the risk of rending his Cabinet and sow- ing dissensions among an otherwise contented people, he (at time of writ- ing) appears bent on forcing the mea- sure through the House, Many Lib- erals, who have admired the Laurier of "sunny ways" and the leader of "No Coercion" in 1896, are sadly dis- appointed in the Laurier of 1905. IMPORTANT TO FARMERS. Toronto are bucks, and buck lambs to American buyers are not worth within 75cts, per cwt, of the ewes and waiters, To secure this trade farmers roust have their lambs castrated and ar- range about having their cattle de - horned. Now, I lana only One in a great number that this will benefit. Not thousands, but millions of dollars are lost every year to the farmers of Ontario for not haviug their lambs castIateas and their cattle dehorned. The lambs that are not fit for export on the American market, if they are castrated, our farmers will buy thein for feeding purposes, which is becom- ing a great industry, Yours truly, MCDONAJ•n & MAxDEB, The following letter from McDonald & Maybee, stock dealers, Toronto, is important to farmers :— Dnast Sass; I spent the biggest part of last mouth in Chicago and New York, looking after the cattle and sheep trade. During the last few years I have had a good deal of ac- quaintance with all the principal ex- porters and cattle dealers in America, and I and favorably known, and can get a good deal of trade front these parts, providing our farmers will fol. low out their ideas. Now, this is the very time of the year to insist upon what I am going to tell you. They are death on horn cattle, explaining that they do not want to buy then: within 25 cts. per cwt. of the dehorned cattle. They tell me they would just as soon deal hero as any place, but they merely want to get What they want to ship, They complain about our cattle being bruised. so much that they do not want to buy them. Last year there were 40,000 lambs shipped to Buffalo. This is about the exact number, and I can secure orders fbr every Iamb in Cana- da at Buffalo prices, if the fanners will only castrate their lambs. The trade is certainly changing in every Yt��,ticular froin what it was a few ears ago. butt of the 40,000 lambs there w l e qvp}' 20,00if sold for export, and there is no reason why the entire trade should not be marketed in To - ionto, 'Every person shipping Iambs knows that 80 per cent. that colpo to GRAFT IN RUSSIA. A recent writer, Mr. Facey, who knows the Russian character well, thus describes the corruption in offi- cial circles The real rulers of Russia are a group of nobles, who, by one means or an- other, control the -emperor and domi- nate the policy of the empire. The admiral who buys coal for his ships in a foreign port secures as vouchers a throe a middleman receipts for h g n Ruch larger suer than the actual price, and he and certain of his subordinates pocket the difference. Almost every contractor who furnishes supplies roust pay tribute to officials amount- ing to the full actual value of the goods or even more, and the price to the government is increased accord- ingly. Tho last great robbery of the publicly subscribed Red. Cross funds, one of the most detestable national scandals. of the time, has brought no retribution to the high -placed thieves. These -thefts, according to common re- port, amounted to no less than seven- ty-five per cent. of the whole sum con- tributed in Russia and abroad. As it is in high places, so it is in low. Every minor official must have his bit. The great majority of public servants are simply useless parasites upon the body politic. Corruption seems to have permeated every department of the empire, and four men, the grand -ducal cabal, are reported to have used the empire to enrich themselves. The defeat of the Russians will sure- ly result in the overthrow of these corrupt parasites who are destroying the nation's life. The wholesale misappropriation, says the Montreal Witness, of Red Cross funds and material intended for the comfort and relief of the sick and wounded in the army fighting the Japanese in Manchuria, is a blazing example of Russian official corruption and the extent to which graft is prac- tised. Of all branches of the public service one would think the Red Cross would be most free from peculation, yet it has broken down completely through the robberies perpetrated by those entrusted with its management. • —There are 142 agricultural societies and 74 horticultural societies in On- tario, being an average of five societies for each riding. A reduction of fully one-half in the number could be very profitably made. —During the month of February seven persons died in the township of Burke, Lambton County; one died from pneumonia at 109 years, another from hemorrhoids at 95, and another from "old age" at 88. Such a record in one township is said by Dr. Hod- getts, Provincial Health Officer, to be unique. Why Catarrh Poisons The System. The Catarrhal germ excites inflame - tion, offensive secretions are thrown off and pass into the circulation, con- taminating the river of life and thus wreck the whple body.
