explanation? I will give it to you,
There was a stilt not long ago in Toron-
to against a pork packing establish-
ment. The hooka of the concern were
made public, and it was fqund that for
the past eleven years the profits rang,
ed from 25 to 125 per cent. It is high
time, I claim,. that the farmers of this
country, the consumers of this country
were getting part of the money. No
ratan, no Combination has any right to
120 per cent, profit,"
RURAL MAIL BOXES.
The rural mail boxes and equipment
used in the installation of the new rural
mail delivery system are now all made
in Toronto, and are being turned out
at several hundreds per day, These
were formerly imported from the Uni-
ted States. The boxes are exactly the
same pattern as those previously im-
ported.
The letter box is fastened to the end
of a crane of steel, which revolves on
the top of the post. Thus the postman
can reach for the box with a hook and
draw it to him without descending from
his cart, When he puts letters in the
box for the farmer patron he turns the
box at right angles to this post. The
farmer when he puts letters in the box
Ifor collection turns the box in a similar
position for the information of the mail
carrier. On the other hand, if there lis
nothing in the box either for the post-
man or for the farmer the box is turn-
ed parallel with the crane and the road -
line,
It is estimated that about 100,000 of
the rural population of the country are
now being served with rural mail deliv-
ery.

EDITORIAL NOTES.
A generation of flies is produced in a
little more than a week, and it has
been calculated that one wintered -over
fly is capable of producing progeny
numbering 14,067,792,000,093, roughly
speaking. A female fly lays between
125 and 150 eggs at a time, and repeats
the operation from six to twelve times
in a summer. This will show how im-
portant it is to begin war on• them early
in the season.
The Free Press is charged by a con-
temporary with being a "Government
organ," While statements coming
from this source need not be taken
seriously, this calls for denial in the
interests of accuracy. The Free Press
is a Liberal newspaper; it is not a Lib-
eral'organ." The distiction is vital.
A newspaper discusses public matters
in the light of its traditions, principles,
and convictions; an "organ" advocates
and expounds policies which are the
sum total of forces and factors over
which it has no control. One acts upon
its private judgment; the other upon
its instructions. In great political
campaigns one is the ally of the party
with whose cause it is in agreement;
the other has the matgrial and moral
standing of condottieri. The organ
belongs to a political era which is pass-
ing; it no longer wields influence or
commands respect. The organ is all
but extinct in Canada, but one which
retains unimpaired the character of the
most virulent type, is still to be found
in Winnipeg. -Winnipeg Free Press.
At his meeting in Elgin, Hen. A. G.
MacKay paid particular attention to
the packing trust, The gentlemen
composing this body had lowered the
price of hogs, but at the same time had
increased the priceof bacon and hams.
"See what the packing trust has done
for the farmers of this country," said
Mr. MacKay. "The price of hogs in
Toronto is on an average $1 per hun-
dredweight less than in Buffalo, but
nevertheless the Americans sold us
over five million pounds of bacon. They
came right into our own market and
undersold us in spite of the duty, and
the higher price of hogs. What is the

It has been stated on good .authority
that the average yield of 17,000 cows
in the famous Belleville, Ont. section
for the factory season of 1910 was 3,-
480 pounds of milk. There are sections
in Quebec where it is doubtful if the
average is much over 2,500 pounds.
The average income per cow in connec-
tion with one Quebec creamery was
only $19.50. As some patrons obtained
as much as $34.00 per cow, it means
necessarily that some cows earned
scarcely $15.00. Some primary princi
ciples of dairy farming seem to need
attention here Records of each cow's
production will soon show which cows
should be beefed because unprofitable.
During 1910 the average yield of
1,100 cows in Quebec cow testing asso-
ciations for the full period of laction
was 179 pounds of fat, double the
creamery average.
Two good records near Winchester,
Ont., for January, February and March
are 5,725 and 6,570 lbs. of milk from
two cows that freshened in December.
Such cows, sources of keen pleasure
and good profit, are found in increas-
ing numbers where cow testing is prac-
tised, Plenty of individual cows in
Canada are giving 10,000 and 12,000
pounds of milk and 800 and 400 pounds
of fat in one season.

ALL THAT IS NECESSARY.
[S. E. Kiser, in Chicago Record -Herald.]
She cannot make a hobble skirt or plan
the plainest gown she wears.
It never bothers'" her when dirt accum-
ulates upon the stairs;
She cannot trim a lastyear's hat or
cook a meal or bake a pie,
But she . can comb her hair down flat
and stilibe pleasing to the eye.
She never is inclined to•.let herself be
worried over art; "
She rather thinks the . Suffragette is
playing an ignoble part;
The dust is thick within her flat, and
things are topsy-turvy there,
But she has thrown away her rat and
still is gloriously. fair.
"HOME, SWEET HOME."
It is easy to waken, a sentimental
thrill by the strains of 'Home, Sweet
Home!" even when it is played by an
out -of -time hand -organ, in a dirty
street, where most of the homes are
far from "sweet."
The law of association is a compli-
cated one. A woman who grew up
among the severe privations of a rocky
hill farm, remote from everything
which she now prizes in life, will feel
her eyes grow dim as she reads a des-
cription of milking -time, corn -husking
and apple -picking, althpugh in her own
experience those duties stood for back-
aches and blistered hands and weariness
unspeakable.
Home is a magic word, and we sel-
dom try to analyze it. A little Polish,
girl in a public school was asked re-
cently to write a definition of "home."
"A home," she wrote, "is w'ere people
live, and were a man or, somebody
comes home and finds people there,
and then eats!"
"And then eats!" To how many
thousands of men that is the end and
aim of coming homel To how many
thousands of women the preparation of
the food to be eaten is the chief busi-
ness of home -making!.
It is a military axiom that an army
marches on its stomach. So the army
of workers which goes forth with the
sun from the minions of human homes
goes by the strength of food. Well,
chose ell -cooked it must be,if
nand w
the home is to rest on a 'firm founda-
tion. But the foundation it not the
whole structure, Food for the body
helps to feed the mind and spirit, but
does not suffice for them. The Polish
child must be taught ;in her adopted
country to add to her plain and bitter
climax, "and then, eats," the new
charter of liberty and grace: "And
when he has eaten, he talks and reads
and thinks, and he learns and teaches
others what and how to love, and so he
snakes and keeps a home."

SIXTY GOLDEN WEDDINGS.
Reims, the centre of the champagne
disturbances, has just been celebrating
an interesting event,the golden wed-
dings of sixty old couples. We are not
told whether they aft came from Reims,
although the celebration may have
been limited to the department.
The fete is as old as the revolution,
when it first seems to have begun. In
the time of the Directory there were
two fetes, the fete of the old people,
and the fete of the golden wedding.
This seems to have.been a very pretty
affair, to judge from the account in the
Debats. There was a procession of
oxen, with their horns crowned with
flowers, followed by children crowned
with violets,, by young men wreathed
with myrtle, and old men with garlands
of olives and girls dressed as vestal
virgins.
At Paris in August, 1797, there was
a great festival in honor of the old
men, who were all given seats at the
opera, when "a gracious Hebe crowned
their white Iocks with garlands of
roses," and the soldiers presented
arms. The idea of the fete was the
encouragement of the family circle.
The old man, who was.a happy grand -
lather, was feted as an encouragement
to the younger generation tp follow in
his footsteps. The same idea is to be
found in our curious observation of the
Dunmow Flitch, but we have no fete
of the golden wedding corresponding to
that held at Reims recently. -- The
Westminster Review.

HOME BUTTER MAKING.
The chief difficulties in home butter
making come, says W. A. Barr, of
Kansas Agricultural College, from im-
proper churning temperatures, and
more often the temperature is too high,
rather than too low.
The way to correct this mistake is to
get a floating dairy thermometer that
is correctly graduated. This can be
gotten for twenty-five cents from any
creamery supply house. It should be
placed in the cream. As soon as the
cream has reached the proper tempera-
ture -50 degrees -churning can begin.
When the temperature is too high, the
butter will come in soft lumps and have
a greasy appearance and contains good
deal of buttermilk which causes it to
keep very poorly and become strong,
The time to stop churning can be told
when the butter forms irregular-shaped
granules a larger than wheat kernels,
and floats at a good height in; the but-
termilk. If the butter is churned it
n t
contain Will '
W C a oou moisture will
ch m la are and rel t
not be so good for use.

that the more rangy and rougher types
make practically as large gains pair

Among the beet breeds the Here-
ford takes high rank as an econom-
ical'
conom ical producer of first quality meat.
litany breeders and feeders prefer
them to any other breed because of
their ability to lay on fat and flesh
at a profit. Both on grass and In
the feed lot they have demonstrated
their merits in thin respect. On the
butcher's block the Hereford qual-
ity is second to that of no other
breed.
flesh mote rapidly, were fatter anti
said for n higher price per pound al
the close of the experiment.
It was found in these tests•that the
depth of body and size of the middle
girth are an important factor in regu-
lating daily gains. A difference in gains
of not less than six -tenths of a pound
per day was found in all groups, the
steers of a given group being fed in
the same manner. With hardly an ex-
ception It was found that the best and
most economical gainers were large
and roomy In the region of the paunch.
The greater number of the best gain-
ers were also larger in heart girth, al-
though there were a number of excep-
tions to this.
The bulletin is fully illustrated to
show the conformation of each steer
as to depth, length and width. That
there Is a great variation in the ca-
pacity of cattle to make gains In the
feed lot is made evident in these ex-
periments. It is hoped that by follow-
ing up this work some conclusions
may be drawn as to the relation of
external conformation to gaining ca-
pacity 1n order that there may be
more definite knowledge as to what
types will most economically convert
feed into beef.
