—The Railway Commission has
issued an order, elated April 22, direct-
ing the railway companies to "restore
the equilibrium between their freight
rates on grain and its products by re-
ducing the rates now charged on grain
to the same basis as charged on the
milled products thereof. Grain mer-
chants estimate that this decision will
add one cent a bushel to the value of
the grain in the producers' hands, it
means a great Ileal to the farmers.
Taking the item of oats, for example,
it is said that about 20,000,000 bushels
• are marketed yearly. On that one
crop there is, according to the esti-
mates of those best qualified to judge,
an addition of. $200,000 a year to the
profits of the grower.

which has been dropped into the Op-

whisper is, that the Government has
consented to stiffen the amended
clause sixteen, insidiously, in commit-
tee, and give back to the bishops what-
ever they may have lost by virtue of
the Sifton amendment. This sugges-
tion comes from Quebec. It was at
the back of the question put to the
Government by R. L. Borden as to
whether or not further amendments
were ruder consideration. Sir Wil-
frid Laurier's answer that no amend-
ments were then under consideration
by the Government has not been ac-
cepted as conclusive, and the Opposi-
tion has set itself to watch for develop-

This was on a vote taken to expunge

—Jas. Wilson, Secretary of the De-

says that unless present modes of
wheat farming in the U.S. change, the
country will soon not be able to

of crops ; hence, their lands run out,
and they move over into Canada,
where they will probably keep on the
same system.

—The Auditor -General, J. Lorne Mc-

Parliament reiterating his desire to
have the Audit Act amended. It is

states, unless the law is amended in

to know at the earliest possible mo-
ment whether the representatives of
the people agree with him. If they
are adverse to the amendment, then
he will leave, with superannuation or
without.

—There are signs that the period of
large surpluses at Ottawa is coming to
an end. It is useless to urge upon
Governments the wisdom of provid-
ing for these contingencies. Under
the late Government there was a
period of surpluses, which formed the
pretext for all kinds of demands upon
the Treasury. The money was spent,
and the scale of expenditure perma-
nently increased. When the coffers
no longer overflowed it was found im-
possible to scale the expenditure down
again, and the result was a period of
deficits. This history is quite likely
to be repeated. The old Liberal doc-
trine was that surpluses were not to
be desired, that when revenue greatly
exceeded expenditure, taxation should
he reduced, and the money left in the
pockets of the people. Another wise
plan is to apply the surplus in reduc-
tion of the debt. In this way the in-
terest charge is reduced, and provision
made for a possible reduction in reve-
nue. But reduction of debt and taxa-
tion is too sober a policy to gratify
the soaring ambitions of our public
men.—[Toronto News.
ed tell me that some of the patrons
have a dislike to ns visiting thew on
the farms, Now I hope this is not the
case, and if it is it can be easily over-
come this season, for it is almost an
impossibility for the maker to visit
all the patrons of his factory, but as
Instructor in Kincardine (listriet for
1005, I hope to be able to visit a good
many farmers daring the summer,
I understand that when the patron
hears of an Instructor coming around
on the cream waggon, he suspects ltiui
as being an inspector or a detective to
see what trouble he can create, This
is a wrong impression that the patrons
have formed of us. \'4e are INSTRt1C-
TORS, not Inspectors, and our duties
are such that we might be a help and
a benefit to both patron and maker.
If we see create or milk that is to be
sent to a factory, of a poor quality, or
has a betel flavor, it is our place to try
and find the cause of such, and with
the hearty co-operation of the patron,
we can remedy the defect. We all
plainly see that the cream gathering
system has come to stay and we must
get cream of a good quality, sweet
and clean in flavor and high in per
cent. of fat, in order to enable' the
maker to snake a first-class article,
and this can only he done by co-opera-
tion of patron and maker. So with
this assumed, we hope to see a vast
improvement for 1005,
As Instructors we have been in-
structed to visit as many patrons as
possible, and give whatever informa-
tion we can to enable then to supply
good and wholesome milk and cream
to the factory. The patrons I have
visited so far have received my visits
very kindly and especially one place,
where I found a separator in a very
bad condition. I was fortunate enough
to be able to stay that evening and
put it in good shape, and I am sure
that they will always be glad to see
an Instructor in the district.
In conclusion let me say that co-
operation in dairying is. the only key
to success,

—The Fanners' Advocate has this
to say on the price of cattle—"Of stall -
finished animals there is evidently a
big shortage in Ontario, which has
brought up the prices both of butchers'
stock and exporters. For the latter,
even six cents per pound would not
leave the farmer, an excessive margin,
considering the cost of feeding cattle,
of feed. and of farm labor. On the
Chicago market, best Western States
beeves have been quoted up to seven
cents. Among our correspondents,
the prevailing opinion appears to be
that more cattle will this season be
fed off the grass, but we incline to the
belief that this is problematical. Of
younger cattle coming on, fewer have
been sent to the States lately, and it
is thought that there will be a fairly

pays to export only the best.

—The Temiskaming railway, which
has been operated by the Government
since January, shows these earnings :
January, $5,219.17 ; February, $7,542 ;
March, $10,509.15 ; April, $12,233.78.
The expenditures were : For January,
$1,560.12 ; February, $6,613.59 ; March,
$0,453.35. The April accounts have
not been made up, but Hon. Mr.
Matheson anticipates $5,000 or $6,000
profit. The total profit for the first
three 'months is $8,453.35, and Mr.
Matheson believes a profit of $5,000
per month may be expected, but this
profit does not take account of interest
charges.
—Mr. Downey has introduced a Bill
in the Legislative Assembly which
contains a somewhat novel proposal
for the protection of our forests. It

our correspondents hardly take fully

cows of the dairy type, and the annual

—The Weekly Sun calls attention to
the alarming increase of the Dominion
Government expenditure, and says :—
During the ten months ending with
April the expenditure of the Dominion
Government sheaved an increase of
$6,500,000, as compared with the same
period last year, while the revenue of
the country expanded by less than
$500,000. The increase in outlay has
not been brought about by the obliga-
tions assumed in connection 'with the
building of the Transcontinental rail-
way ; these obligations are yet to be
provided for, The increase noted has
occurred in connection with what may
he called the ordinary outgo of the
Government, The bare statement of
