NOTES AND COMMENTS The Manitoba Legislature was dis- solved Monday afternoon, and the date of the election was announced for Mon- day, Silly 11, with nominations one week earlier; Jaly 4. While the date set is but three weeks ahead, it was an- ticipated, and for some weeks both par- ties have been busy an their campaigns. During April, 7.209 homesteads were enterred in the Western. provincee. They represented 18,778 tiersons; 2,233 were Canadians+, SOS from Ontario and 90 by Canadians returned 'from the United States. Americans entered for 2,418 homesteads;. English, 918; Scotch, 203, and Irish 81. Of other Earopean homesteaders for month were Hungari- ans 337, Russians 144; Norwogiane, 122, Germans and Swedes, 100. The figures of Canadian trade for May, issued Monday, show another re. cord advance over last year. The total trade for the month was $58,187,972, an increase of $14,276,236, or over thirty per cent as compared mpared with May of last. year. At the present rate of increase Canada's total trade will within two years reach the billion dollar mark. For the current year indications point to a total trade of over $800,000,000. Immigrants to Canada in the last ten years total 1,445,288. according to stat- istics in a handbook being issued by the department of immigration. The fiscal year recently closed eclipsed all others in the volume of immigration, the ar- rivals numbering 208,1794. Of the grand total for the decade about 365,000 came from the British Isles, 394.00 from the continent and 497,000 from the United Statee. The m a Americans comingacross o ss the border are therefore within 63,000 of the total for the British immigration. Of the immigration from the British Isles about 418,000 crimes from England and Wales, 18,987 from Scotland and 34,124 from Ireland. Japanese immig• ratan in the past three years totalled 8,- 337. Final figures of revenue and espendi• tura for the last fiscal year, ending March 31, made public by the Depart- ment at Finance this week, show a record surplus of $22 092,185 in revenue over alt ordinary expenditure. This ex. needs by ovet two and one-half millions the pieviona high record of 1907.08, and is five mtlhons better than the estimate given by the Finance Minister in his Budget epeeoh of December last. The total revenue was $101,501,034, an in- crease of $1.6,500,000 over the preceding year, trhe total expenditure on cons0lt. date 1 fund account was $79,409,849, or $4,500 000 less than 1908 09. On caps• tel account teat year there were spent ¢14,114,994, including $10,938,064 on the construction of the National Trans. continental Railway.

SPEAKING FACTS. Every little while foots Dome to light which speak in far.reaohing tones of the value of cow testing to the dairy fermata. For instance, a letter is just received at the Department of Agrioniture, Otta- wa, from Mr. George Wise, of Shell - mouth, Man , which reads as IfolloWs - "I am pleased that I was led to see what my cows are doing, though now only just entering my seoond year of record- ing eaoh sow'$ doings I see there is a great difference in the returns from the creamery and of course it is there we should And the change. Note the re- markable gain for the first four months of 1910 In 1909, from January the 1st to April the 30th, we were milking 9 cows and received $129.59 for cream sold, In 1910, during the same period, we milked only eight cows and sold cream for $229 43. Further, we made butter this year for a household of nine persons, last year we bought our butter. These are actual facts. The only diff- erence in feed from last year is that I have fed bran extra all winter, but I have sold cows that were poor ones, though one of them made a good showing the first six months of the year. The cows picked up wonderfully on a soiling Drop in September, the returns show it and every animal went into winter quarters fat." It will be noted that Mr. Wise, be. sides the butter used at home, made an extra hundred dollars in four months with a smaller herd. The cows are being selected, the records show which cows to keep and the fact that records are kept induces the owner to look after the herd better in every way. Cow tenting pays.

Indigestion is a oondltion in which the stomach is more or lees unable to digest the food. Even a light oaee of indigestion means muoh misery. but when the trouble Is at its worst the life of the sufferer is one of constant and aogte misery. Indigestion ie recognized by a burning sensation in the etomaoh, bloating, an oppressive feeling of weight, belching wind, pains in the region of the heart, often vomiting and. nausea, and a dread of food for the misery it (muses. Dieting and the use of predigested foods may give soma relief, but will never care indigestion. The work of digestion depends upon the blood and the nerves and the only way to cure indigestion is to so tone up the stomach that it will do the wont that nature intended it should do. The very beet way to cure a weak 'stomach is through a course of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Thee° renew the blood, strength. en. the nerves and thus give tone to the stomach, and enable it to do its work with ease and comfort. No one suffer- ing from indigestion is even the alight• est form should neglect the trouble for an instant; to do so means that !t ob• tains a firmer hold, and daily the misery and suffering is increased, and the cure made more difficult. At the first ap- prosob of the trouble take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and it will speedily disappear. These Pills will Duro even the most obstinate one of indigestion, but natur- ally it takes longer to do so. Mr, Philip Lafleur, St Jerome, Que„ says: "After I left college, where I studied hard far four years, I suffered so much from in- digestion that I found it difficult to earn my living. I was troubled with terrible pains, a bloating feeling, and a sourness in the stomach. This led to a loss of appetite and I began to show signs of a nervous breakdown. I tried several dif- ferent treatments without finding auy apparent relief, and my nervous system had grown so shattered that I could not work. A priest who was interested in me advised me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and I followed his advioe. It was not long before they began to bring me bank to health, and in the course of a couple of months my stomach was as sound gas ever; my nervous system strong and vigorous, and I have since enjoyed the best 01 health„ I owe all this to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, for which I shalt always feel grateful."
