NOTES AND COMMENTS
• The Canadian Farm states that
$200;000,000 is a fair estimate of the coat
of the projected Georgian Bay canal,
and it says: "1 he interest on thin sum
would go a long way this year towards
paying for the free transportation of a
large share of the farm products of the
West by the transportation faoilities
we now have at our disposal—all rail or
through the lakes and the Welland
canal. ....This country oan do withont
the Georgian Bay Canal for many years
to come. There are other things more
aurgent. Make the most of the transpor-
tation faoilities we have at present and
the country will continue to prosper as it
is now doing."
When the hist cantina of the United
States was taken. in 1900, there were
living under the Stars and Stripes 2,-
131,762 people one or both of whose
parents were Canadian born, and 1,-
717,255 persons who were born in
Canada themselves. The Chioago
Tribune is confident that next year's
census will show "great increase in
these American -Canadian figures."
But it will show no such contrast with
the 1900 census in that respect as will
be shown between' the 1901 and 1911
censuses of this country, in respect of
the flow of population northward across
the international line during the
decade.
The "eollege farmer," sneered at a
few years ago as a mere theorist, unable
to make a living off the land, is much in
demand nowadays. The Portland
Oregonian tells of the resignation of
Professor George Severance of the agri-
cultural department of the Washington
State College. Professor Severance was
drawing the eatistaotory salary of $2,000
a year fair his duties all instructor at the
college, but has resigned to become a
fernier. He is to take charge of three
farms "just beyond the boundary line
in Canada," Baas the Oregonian, and is
to receive a salary of $3,000 a year, wtth
all of his expenses paid, and is also to
have an interest in the profits. An
automobile is to be provided for his use
in running round his work on the farms.
—Winnipeg Free Press,
Edmond Thery, the French econorn-
ist, figures that the wealth of France
increased during the year 1909 by $1,200,.
000 000. Frenok foreign investmenta at
the end of the year totalled $7,600,-

CANADA'S POI,L' CENTRE,
Will tile.nOlitleal gontrel of Canada
in the future be wet of the Great
Lakes, asks Arthur R. Fiord, Writing in
the January Cenadian, Magazine. This
is a aubjeot of mere than speoulative
interedt. It is pritotioal political prob.
lem whioh is already beginning to dis-
• turb the minds of publio men, partial.-
lerla from the Mealtime Provinces.
• If the development of the Wet coo,
thaws on the came sole and if the
remarkable inoreese in population keeps
op for the next two deoades as it has in
the past ten years, there will be found
as large if not larger population west of
the head of the Great Lekee than east of
it. It hag been predicted that by the
time the census of 1931, is taken, if not
before, •there will be more people in
• Western Canada than in Eaetern.
At the present time the West has
thirty•five members of the Dominion
House, divided by Provinces as follows:
Manitoba, 10; Saskatchewan, 10; .a.lber-
ta, 7; British Oolumbia, 7, and the
Yukon, 1. The re -distribution bill whioh
will follow the census of 1911 and will
proliably1 come before the next election,
will add from fifteen to twenty.five
members to the West's representation.
By 1922 at a conservative estimate
Manitoba's estimate will likely be 475,-
000; Saskatchewan's 400,000, and Al-
berta's 325 000. In all probability the
figures will be above rather than below
this estimate, By the British North
America Aot, Quebec ith sixty-five
members was mode the basis of repre-
aentatton, so that the West should have
at least from fifteen to twenty-five more
members in the next Parliament.
It is a pertinent and practical question
to ask them, What will the change in
the centre of our political equilibrium
mean to the future Canada? If the
West is to be dominant, what will its
inflneuoe be? What will be the effeot
upon Canadian politica? Will it force
a religment of the outlet? Will the
influence of the West in solving the
great moral, eooial, economic and ad-
ministrative questions which the Dom-
inion must face be for better or worse?
THE PUBLIC DEBT.
(London Advertiser.)
Journals which protein to "view with
alarm" the total of the public debt of
Canada would not succeed in impress-
ing their readers it they would have
the fairness to give detailed explana-
tions. It is true that since the Liberal
party took office, the debt has been
inoreased by $65,432,846, but the inter-
vening years have witnessed unex•
ampled growth and development. To
keep paoe with the march of progress
and the necessities of the people, the
Government 'has had to borrow money
to construct public works and increase
the country's transportation facilities.
Of the total increase in the debt
since 1896, $58.391,268 has been ex-
pended on the ntenonal transoontinent-
al railway and the Quebec bridge--
works of prime necessity—the balance,
$7,041,000, being 'mounted for by the
falling off of $11,000,000 in revenue in
1907.8, due to the world-wide depres-
don.
The total capital and special ex-
penditure daring the thirteen years of
Liberal rule amounts to $212,602,818, of
whioh $147,000,000 was provided for
out of revenue—that is to say, the
present Government has provided for
ordinary expenditure ont of current
revenue, and in addition, 69 per cent of
capital and special ()bargee, without re-
sorting to borrovving.
From 1878 to 1896 the 'amount spent
on capital and special expenditure was
$177,162,252, but at the same time $118,-
000,000 was added to the debt, only 29
per cent of the expenditures being pro.
vided out of revenue. Thus, while 70
per cent of the special expenditures
were added to the debt in that period,
• the Liberals added but 30 per cent, the
greater part of which is invested in
what Will soon become one of the coun-
try's most valuable assets, the Na-
tional Transcontinental -Railway. Omit-
ting from the calculation the expendi-
tures on this great work and the Que-
bee bridge, the Laurier Government
has provided more than 95 per cent of
its expenditures on capital and speoial
account out of the cOnntry's ordinary
• revalue.
But while the total debt has increased
it bears more lightly on the individual.
The population has increased as a ranch
• greater rite than the debt, the result
• being that the per capita debt ha a fallen

Verse 14 16—State yonr reasons for

this propheoy?
Why, or why not, do any of the events

Give a reason for your answer as to
whether God in these days, or ever, calls
upon men and women to do erratio

How may a man of God recognize the

The American draft horse ban
achieved the distinction of being the
great industrial factor of the age, and
• raising draft animals for commercial
use has become one of the prominent
industries of animal husbandry. The
draft horse has added vast wealth to
the resources of American farmers, as
his production bas been a most profit-
able branch of agriculture.
To raise the best classes of drafter8
good breeding stock must be used. The
mares must be draft bred animals,
and they should not weigh less than
1,400 pounds, and 1,600 pounds would
be more suitable in the production of
the heavy class of drafters. The sire
should be the best stallion obtainable,
as one cannot use a scrub sire and
raise good horses of any breed.
Weaned at five months old, the cost
the first year should not exceed $40,
including $20 for stallion fee. Around
$30 per year for pasture, hay and grain
should bring the foal out at three years
old weighing 1,550 pounds at a cost
approximating $100. If the youngster
is the progeny of a good sire and dam
it ought to be worth $175 and upward,
leaving the faemer a net profit of $75
on the production of the animal, Steers
at three years old cannot be produced
that will show the net profit of a
three-year-old draft youngster. If val-
ues fall below these figures they will
correspondingly decrease on the other
breeds of live stock and still leeve' the
farmer the larger margin of profit in
raising good draft classes as contrast-
ed with other branelies of animal hus-
bandry.
There is no clanger of overproduc-
tion of good drii ft horses. as the for-
eign demand is of more than ample
volume to take all the surplus t hat
farmers can produce at contitiorative,
prices. It is •an Meal 11410' to raise
good draft horses, as future demand

prices.
Hookworm Menacing Cattle.
Cattle in the southern states are eon-
siderahl,v affected by the book worm.
In South Carolina especially it is a
serious pest, which often produces
death.
The disease conies on with slow
fever, diarrhea and loss of appetite. it
soon becomes chronic, with constipa-
• tion. emaciation and thinness of blood.
Young cattle , are more subject to it
than old ones. The worm is found
principally in the first part of the
small intestine and attacks the mucous
membrane with sharp teeth,, sucking
blood from the wound.
The full grown worm is of about the
thickness of a pin and from one-half tO1
five-eighths of an inch in length. Eggs
are deposited in the intestines and dis-
charged with the faeces. They seem tct
hatch in the pasture grass, which they,
climb, ready to be eaten by the cattle
and complete the circle of their life.
The prospect for a cure of the disa
ease is not flattering. Prevention is
the main hope. Dry weather is de-
structive to the parasite. Rotation of
crops also tends to destroy it. Manure
from the stalls should be disinfected
aud lowland pastures should be avoid-
ed, as the parasite thrives best in
(la nip places.
Unique Door For the Pigpen.
A very convenient way of feeding
pigs was observed in the swine house
of a prominent breeder of •Durocs, an
arrangement that made the tri -daily
feedings a matter of se little difficulty
that a child could place the feed be-
fore a pen of unruly noses.
The front of each pen was binged

the fartber sides of the uprights, as

the front of the door is a vertical bar
With a phi through the top, as here

of the bars sliding up and down, the
blocks being bolted to the door. If,

At feeding time the bar Is lifted and
