It is said to be much broader and more comprehensive than the former one. As soon as the pre- sent Peace Conference closes the trea- ty will he made public. „ R -Judges are differing in their inter- pretations of the Assessment Act, which, like most Ontario made laws, is a sort of puzzle. It is said that the corporations are not hurt much by the Act, and that as usual the small business man shoulders the heavy end. This is what plight be expected from an Act framed by Hon, Mr. Gibson. w ww --The C. P. R. has protested to the Government against the route chosen for the Grand Trunk Pacific, on the ground that for 275 miles west of Portage -la -Prairie the new line is not more than ten miles from the C. P. R. or its branches. This being the case, there is no new territory to serve and no need of a new railway. It is held that the intention of the Government was to keep the transcontinental sys- tems at least thirty miles apart. Rte -Experts calculate, says London Tit -Bits, that Irish bogs are capable of turning out 50,000,000 tons of fuel per year for a thousand years, and if this were sold at the moderate figure of 5s. per ton it would bring iu £12,500,000 a year. When this sum is multiplied by a thousand it will be seen that Ire- land is richer in undeveloped resources than is sometimes imagined. It is claimed for the new fuel that it is practically smokeless, that it has "no clinker or cinder, deteriorates but little by keeping, does not crumble by hand - 1 ling, and has a high calorific." 8 r -Here are three news notes that show that Civic Ownership grows in popular favor :-The ratepayers of St. Marys, Ont., sanctioned a by-law on August 7th to raise $15,000 for the ex- tension of the waterworks and electric light systems The town of Chat- ham, N. B., have decided to build a new municipal lighting plant. The present plant has been in existence 17 years, and is too small for the town's requirements. The new plant will, in all probability, be built with duplicate machinery The town of Napanee, Ont., have passed a by-law to raise $35,000'for a new municipal lighting plant. The plant will be designed and constructed so that the entire equip- ment will be duplicated to prevent the possibility of an interruption to the service in the event of emergency. * 8 -While the Japanese have been carrying on a costly war, they have not neglected the arts of peace. Sev- eral agents of the Japanese. Govern- ment have been travelling through Wisconsin of late, selecting Jersey cattle for their country. In their opinion Jerseys are best adapted to the climate and conditions of Japan. They are thoroughly posted in the study of dairy cattle, and particularly so as regards the selection of only healthy specimens. To this end they are testing every animal with tuber- culin, and thus show that they are much better informed on tuberculosis than many other buyers. They came provided with their own testing ap- paratus, and insisted on the use of their own Japanese tuberculin. Those with whom they came in contact were surprised to find them so well inform- ed in veterinary science and the use of the tuberculin test. -A triumph fol civic ownershiphas 1 been achieved by the city of Guelph, During the two years since the light and power plants were taken over by the city, the sum of $155,000 has been demanded by the local company,whieh owned the concern. Even with this outlay the report given out recently shows net profits for the past two years aggregating $20,171.83. In 1904 the profits were $1,1.10.28, and this has increased this year to date to $10,- 025,57. During 1005 the receipts for the gas plant were $28,308.6.1, and for the electric power plant $24,014.30. Extensions to the gats plant are now lender consideration, and this agaiin should acid to the profits, as the im- provements contemplated include mo- dern methods and machinery, width it is contended will give increased pro- duction at less expense, A reduction lel tact prite is very likely in the near future. Aid, Penfold, chairman of the eoteimittee, isiki4 jt ip•+.s lija optnlon that a 10 per cent.. reduction would be matte all arolmd. The department is more profitable than anyone antic'. paced, and a reduction is fully war- ranted, • -Condensing factories flare taken a strong .fold. in Elgin, Ill., in whose vicinity the farmer's have gone univer- sally into the milk business, milk being the product now relied. upon for practically the whole income of the farm. The farmers keep from 25 to 71 cows, and sell all their milk either to a condensing factory or to a creamery. The milk is brought ill in wagons each morning, and is sold by the pound at a rate of from $1.10 to $1,50 per hun- dred pounds in winter and $1 in sum- mer, to the condensing factories, alul a little less to the creameries. The most scrupulous cleanliness is insisted upon, and if not observed the milk is not bought at any price. The feeding of ensilage is also forbidden, on the ground that some of it is likely to spoil, and that when bad ensilage is fed to the cows the flavor of the milk is tainted. The method adopted is to cut the corn in the field and thresh it into pieces about two inches long. This is then fed to the cows, with oc- casional rations of ground oats and hay, and large quantities of bran. About 100 cows are kept to the square milain the country in which Elgin is situated. -[Farmers' Advocate. * -The statistics of live stock in On- tario, contained in the August bulletin of the Bureau of Industries, are of more than usual interest this year. The added interest is mainly due to the discussion which has occm'ied over the hog question, and the general 'belief that, owing to dissatisfaction with the hog market, there has been a curtailment in the number of hogs produced. The general belief is borne out by the official figures. The num- ber of hogs in Ontario on July 1st was placed by the Bureau at .1,800,400. This was an increase of 212,000 com- pared with three years ago, but is 31,- 000 less than for one year ago, and 81,000 less than two years ago. An increase of 293,000 in the year ending July 1, 1003, and a decrease of 81,000 in the two years ending July 1st last, is a significant fact that should cause packers to do some thinking. Other live stock figures presented by the Bu- reau are also interesting. According to these statistics there are on hand 072,781 horses, an increase of 40,000, as compared with three years ago. In cattle the number is placed at 2,880,- 503, an increase of 327,000 over 1902. In sheep the number is 1,324,153, a de- crease of 391,000, as against 1002. In poultry, the number is placed at 9,737,- 093 of all kinds, a little less than for the figures of three years ago. THE GREAT DESTINY OF JAPAN. (From World's Work.) What effect will the Japanese vic- tory have on the future of Asia, and especially on the future of China ? This is the question • that every man asks who studies the world in a large way. The saddest fact that the widely traveled or the widely read man finds on the earth is the condition of Asia. The greater part of the human race live yet unhelped by the sanitary, me- chanical, economic, and social discov- eries whereby life in the Western World has been freed, to a degree, from plagues and famines and poverty and abjectness. These swarming mill- ions of our fellow creatures miss most things that make life worth living, as we regard it -such as reasonable safe- ty from hunger and want, reasonable labor, and reasonable freedom -a chance for a child to grow to full sta- ture, to live a normal number of years, well clad and well fed, and to enjoy also a fair degree of independence in mind and character, During the few centuries that we lave enjoyed these things, Asia. has hardly changed at all, True, British rule in India has brought order in a stnall area and has made life safer and lifted it to a de- gree; but there has been no great change. Snell change as has come has been super -imposed. It has not proceeded from within nor taken deep root. The outlook of these hundreds of millions of human creatures is much the sante as it was in the,time of Warren Hastings. And Cina re- mains in a similar if a less sad plight. The fate that seemed even a year ago to await all these Oriental peoples was the unsympathetic domination of Western nations, eager chiefly to de- - spoil them in trade --nations which were alien, and which, therefore, lacked the ability even when they had the wish, to change the stagnant con- dition of Oriental life. Now Japan's t'ise to power puts a new force abwork in this Old World. The most important question that touches the lives of hundreds of mill- ions of .nen is whether the Japanese can do for other Oriental nations what they have done for themselves, and what no Western people can 4o - break up their stagnation and lift them to the 'Western level in health, in normal activity and in opportunity, They are akin to the Chinese in racy and thought and language and re- ligion ; and they are much nearer than any branch of the white race to the other Asiatics. Their ambition, too, must urge thein to this ennobling effort. This much at least is true -whereas there WAS 110 hope of Europe's awake- ning Agin. to a healthful and active eXxisteR e there is now at chance that the Japanese may do this great task in thearse CO of the coming Centuries; and it is the greatest task of human helpfulnetsa that is presented. to the condition of mankind -to lift half the human race- from stagnant sadness into healthful activfty, 600D THINGS IN TOMATOES, Tomato Jelly. ---Take a half can of tomatoes, or the eclnivelelrt in fresh - stewed ones, and add a little grated onion juice, a half teaspoonful .of salt, three or foul• cloves and a bay leaf, Cook for ten minutes and pass throegh a sieve, Add a third of a box of gat, tine which you have previously soaked till soft in cold water, Stir till dis- solved ; acid two tablespoonfuls of medium -strength vinegar and pour into molds. This jelly served on let- tuce e -tuce leaves, with a mayonnaise dres- sing, is au unusually appetizing dish. Tomato Catsup, -Boil one bushel of ,' ripe tomatoes until perfectly ctly soft ; cut them into small pieces, squeeze them through a fine wire sieve and scrape all the pulp from the under side of the sieve, keeping out the seeds. Add half a gallon of vinegar to a pint of salt, two ounces of cloves, a quarter of a pound of allspice, a little cinna- tnon-'uss s-fewblades .ttt.tick, o J few of mace, one scant tablespoonful of red pepper, a handful of whole black pepper, a little celery seed, one onion chopped fine, or two if you like the flavor. Boil until reduced one-half and remove the spices, which should be put' into bags before bottling, Whole spices erre best because the ground ones make the catsup very dark. Bottle when entirely cold. Green Tomato Pickle. -This is sim- ply matte and liked by all, Slice a peck of green tomatoes and a quart of white Onions. Place in layert in a stone jar and sprinkle each layer with salt. Next day drain well off the salt. and place in a porcelain kettle; cover with vinegar and sugar in proportion of one quart of vinegar to two-thirds of a cupful of sugar. Add a teaspoon- ful of cloves and a few sticks of cinna- mon. Boil till tomatoes are tender and then lift them gently from the kettle and pack into the stone jar. Pour fresh, cold vinegar over them and let stand till next day. , This makes them crisp. Measure off this vinegar ; add three-fourths of a cupful of sugar to the quart ; throw in a few cloves and sticks of cinnamon, let boil up and pour over the tomatoes. When all is cold cover tightly and set in a cool place. Water in Your Blood. Lots of people have thin watery blood -they eat plenty but don't di- gest. When digestion is poor, food is not converted into nourishment -in consequence the body rapidly loses strength. To positively renew health nothing equals Ferrozone. It excites sharp appetite -makes the stomach digest, forms life sustaining blood. Abundant strength is sure to follow. If you need more vitality, extra en- ergy, better nerves, then use Ferro - zone, the medical triumph of the age. Fifty cents buys a box of fifty choco- late coated Ferrozone tablets.
