PUBLISHER AND PROPRIETOR THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1910 NOTES AND:COMMENTS By the death of Senator Baker in Montreal last week the representation of Conservatives in the Senate is now reduced to twenty, oat of a total mem- bership of eighty-seven. When the present Geverument assumed office, thirteen years ago, there were but eleven Liberals in the Senate. Conse- quently the present disproportionate standing of the parties in the upper chamber is still not as bad as it was in last days of the Tapper Administration. According to figures fast published in the Archives, Pedalos, there are at pres- ent 271,000 postofiloes in the world, spread over 97 States, which cover an area of 30,000,000 square miles. The United States possesses the greatest number of postoffioes, 63,663; Germany Domes seoond with 49,838 offices, and the United Kingdom third with 28.738 offices. Russia has 18,000, France 13,000 and Italy and Austria each 9,500 offices. The average daily postai business of the world amounts to 110,000,000 mail pieoeo of all sorts representing on the estimated value of the contents of re- gistered letters a sum of $68,600,000. The number of the world's postal offloials is 1,394,247 to which Germany furnishes the strongest contingent, 514,251: There are 767,898 mail 'boxes in the world. New York San. HUSBANDS AS MERE FINANCE MINISTERS. • Preaching on the subject of "Ohival- ry" Rev. Dr. Herridge, who is one of the mentally strong men of the Pres- byterian church, made thoughtful and eloquent comment at the morning ser- vile. in St. Andrew's ohnroh, Ottawa, last Sunday, on the female suffrage question. The minister sought to show that the aitratetio sentiment was not confined to women alone, but ought to be an important detail of a man's make-np. I caspiot help feeling," said Rev. Dr. H,afridge, "that the modern insur- rsjr inions of women are not of their own b'hoosing, but are to be accounted for to a large extent by the abdioation of man from his place of rightful author- ity uthority and proteotnrsbip, The truth is Ott women Iike to be governed.

Thorough drainage of lands needing it will increase the yearlY return, from the land by about $20 per sore as shown by reports of men who have drained. This is the salient feet brought oat in. Balletin 174 just issued by the Depart- ment of Agriculture, Toronto, entitled "Farm Underdrainage; Does It Pay?" Daring the past five years the amount of drainage being done has doubled and thorough drainage, that is with lines of tile every four rode, more or less, ie, rapidly increasing, Many areas are so flat or so irregular that is is impossible without a surveyor's level to tell jaet what is the best way' of draining them. For the encouragement of farmers hav- ing aying such areas the Ontario Agricultural College is renewing its offer of assist- ance in drainage surveying. During the summer the College has a special drain- age staff engaged in this work. Anyone having drainage problems to solve may have the assistance of one of these drain- age advisors by applying for the same. At the oonolusion of each survey a -public meeting is held in the field to die - ones and demonstrate the best methods of finding the fall, determining the grade, digging the ditch true to grade, eto. The only outlay to the farmer is the travelling expenses of one man, con- sisting of meals, if any, cartage of in- struments, if any, and railway fare at a cent a mile eaoh way. As several sur- veys are usually made on the dime trip the actual dash outlay for -each man is small, frequently being under $1 and seldom over $2, though in case of an in- dividual survey in a remote part it might reaoh $5 or more. The farmer is aleo expeoted to meet the College repre- sentative at the station and return him to it, as well as a000mmodate him while on the survey, Those wishing to make applioatip for a drainage survey should write to Prof. W. H. Day. Department o! Physics, 0. A. 0 , Guelph, whereupon a regular applioation form will be sent. A CHILD'S HEALTH DEPENDS ON THE TOOTHBRUSH. The importanoe of sound teeth in ohildren oannot be over emphasized, says The Delineator for March. From the point of view of health the words of Cervantes are true—that a tooth is more valuable than a diamond. At the time when children enter school they are likely to be losing their baby teeth, and hence indigestion is very apt to be caused by the decaying teeth that poison the food. These teeth should be oarefully attended to, filled when necessary, and palled out at the proper time. Although it is hard for children at this period to chew their food, nature has taken the precaution to provide them in the sixth year with the beet teeth for ohewing purposes that they ever get, the so-oalled sixth -year molars. Unfortunately many parents mistake these teeth for baby teeth and let them decay, but the best care should be taken of them. So important are good teeth for diges- tion that every child should be trained to take care of his teeth and should be shown the luxury of a clean month. Here is a ease when every child needs a sort at military training. When our soldiers, on account of the heat in Onba, had thrown away their baggage and even their clothes, a Brit- ish officer who was with t$m m rmarvel- led as he saw a regiment oh by, each soldier with a toothbrush twisted into the band of his hat. Thus children should be taught that a tooth brash is an essential article of the toilet—tile last thing that they should ode at night and the last thing that they should throw away.

Verses 3 5 —Why are men so apt to think lightly of their own tins, and to magnify the very same sine in others? 11 is but right that a man should first forsake his own pins before trying to help others do so, but is it impossible for one sinner to induce another to repent?

Thompson Says That People Should Eat More Bread. "Eat more broad and less of the lux- uries, and the health of the nation will be improved both physioally and finan- cially," declared Mr. F. W. Thompson, vioe-president and managing director of the Ogilvie Flour Mills Oo,, is a recent interview. "There is no question but that the farmers have been benefitting by the high prima of all agricultural produote, and personally I feel that this is well for our country. • Agriculture is the fundamental basis of our oommer- oial prosperity. In order for the bad- ness interests of Canada to prosper, agriculture must be prospegone, and the greater the prosperity of our farmers the greater will be the development of our oommeroial and manntaotaring interests and the maintenance of good wages. "From time immemorial bread has been reoognized as the staff of life, and when the question of the 'cost of food is dieonesed anywhere, the sabjeot of bread is always paramount. Yet how few people there are who realize the astounding faot that in the average family the consumption of bread forme less than five per cent of the total food sdpplies. Let every housekeeper an- alyze their monthI-y bills, and they will find the small proportion that the con - gumption of bread bears to the whole. As a matter of fact, the average family spends more in reading matter and amusements in two months than their entire coat of breadstuffs for a whole year. "It is qaite true, generally speaking, that foodstuffs are higher beoanse of the great commercial development whioh is taking plane on this continent, repairing in migration by the yi`anger generation to the industrial centres of population, causing a more closely 'balanced condi- tion of supply and demsnd, and vehicle oan only be remedied by the greater de- velopment of the land. "When considering the cost of the loaf of bread delivered into the home by the baker in our cities, as compared with foreign markets, it must be borne in mind that the wages in the manafao• taring of bread in a city like ours avers 1 ages from 60 to 70 per oent. higher than abroad. "In proportion to population, Loudon bnys More low grade Snit than any other bread eating city in the world. There is no high grade flour exported from Canada to London, at least the proportion is so smell as to' be a neglig- ible onantity, "So far as my investigation goer, the butter bill In the average family in its relationato th t e cost of bread is doable, and in the ease of milk nearly treble. llaeat, of conrre; beard a higher relative cost than anj of these fent items, Ex- amine your home expenditure, and jou will find that bread is the cheapest article of feed, and always hal been.

Watering troughs, like many other concrete structures, may be made Without steel re -enforcements, but If So constructed the walls must be half again as thick as when re -enforced, and even then are more apt to crock.. The size and capacity of the trough varies with the purpose for which it is used, but for troughs up to about ten feet long by two feet wide by two feet deep the thickness of the re - enforced walls should be about five Inches. It is essential that a watering trough be water tight. The conditions for ob- taining a trough which will not leak are; First, a richer mixture of con- crete than is required for ordinary work; second, enough water in mix- ing ixing to give a sloppy concrete, and, third, the placing of all concrete at one operation. It' is extremely diffi- cult to make any structure water tight unless all three of the above con- ditions are complied with. The best mix of concrete to use va- ries with the sand and gravel employ- ed, but generally speaking one part of portland cement to one and a bale parts of clean. coarse sand to three parts of screened gravel or broken THE TROUGH iron THE mini. •stone are advl.;ed. or if ;;ravel from the uatural bank is n:.'.i without screening one part of ltrartl:lOd cement to three parts of norurnI Intek gra vet.

The amount of excavation necessary for the foundation ni' 0 trough de- pends upon the size For a small trough level off the earth and' tamp the ground well before islacing any concrete, but for a trough of large ca- pacity a foundation should be used. Place a two and a hall inch layer of. concrete in the form and immediately after placing and before the concrete has set place a sheet of woven fence wire or some other wire fabric over the concrete, bending it up so that it will come fa within an inch of the top of the forms at the sides and ends. Place two and a quarter inches more of the concrete in the bottom and ram lightly to bring the mortar to the sur- face and smooth it off evenly. Have the inner form all ready and as soon as the base is laid and before it has' begun to stiffen set it, taking care to keep it at equal distances from the sides, and then immediately fill in the concrete between the outer and inner fortes to the required height. The time to remove the forms depends upon several conditions, such as the wetness of the concrete, the weather and the temperature, but generally, such forms can be removed within two days. After removing the forms wet the concrete thoroughly and paint the inside surface with pure portland ce-' went mixed as thick as cream. Pro- tect the trough from the sun, keeping itwet for about a week. Feathers In Place of a Hen. If a hen can hatch a duckling why cent a bunch of any sort of feathers hatch a chick?
