The Toronto Star very accurately ries- tribes the facing both ways of the op- ponents of reciprocity. To the state- ments of some of the anti -reciprocity papers that the advocates of that pol- icy have been soundly beaten in the argument, the Star replies: "For proof, the Toronto News says that Mr. Jameson, Digby, N. S., made a speech about fish, which nobody could answer. In this part of Canada we must admit that the question of fish has not re- ceived the, consideration which was, perhaps, due to its importance. We have heard about farm products, and the argument by which we were "soundly beaten" was this. All our wheat will under this agreement, go to the United States. Our mills and rlifl- ways will thus be ruined. Also, none of our wheat and farm products will go to the United States; on the contrary, our country will be flooded with Am- erican farm products, and our farmers will be ruined. If the fish argument was like the wheat argument, we do not wonder that it was unanswered. "Again, we were told that the agree- ment was intended to lure our farm- ers into annexation by sordid gain. The farmers would find it so good that they would demand political union in order to make its benefits permanent. Other people would demand' to share in the periless boon. At the same time we were told that the agreement would be absolutely useless to the far- mer; that in fact, he would be injured by the "unbridled competition" of American farmers. It is possible that in talking of fish an even more elusive and slippery argument could be de- vised." Increased Efficiency of Labor. Some marvellous results have been obtained by F, W. Taylor, of the Mid- vale Steel Works of Philadelphia, in increasing the efficiency of labor in the establishment with which he is con- nected, The same system has since been carried into other similar indus- tries. Mr. Taylor made a close study of the motions necessary, and the tools best adapted, for performing certain kinds of labor, more particularly in the crudest form of labor. Previously it was the practise for each laborer en- gaged in the moving of material buy shovels to provide his own shovel. Mr. Taylor found that with a shovel holding a 21 -Ib. load the maximum of labor can be performed, A lighter load necessi- tates too high a speed in handling and a heavier load too great a strain on the man. He also made a study of the motions best adapted to obtain the end in view. The result was that the num- ber of laborers required to perform a given task was reduced from six hun- dred to 140; that the average number of tons handled per than was increased from 16 to 59 per day; the average cost of handling was reduced from 7.2c. to 3.3c. per ton, and with this the average wages of the man was increased from $1.15 to $1.88 per day, During the first year of operations the saving to one company was $36,417, and in the next six months, when the system was further perfected, the saving was about doubled, This result, it is said, was accomplished without overworking the men, the one fundamental idea under- lying the scientific management being that men who are trained to their work shall be induced to stay permanently in their employment. It Is Miserable To Be • Dyspeptic. Dyspepsia is one of the most prevalent troubles of civilized life, and thousands differ untold agony after every meal. Nearly everything that enters a weak dyspeptic stomach, acts as an irritant; nco the great difficulty of effecting a cure. The long train of distressingsymptoms, which render life a burden to the victim of dyspepsia, may be promptly relieved by the use of Burdock fllood Bitters. Mts. John Sherrett, Fortier, Man., writes -"I was troubled with dyd epsia for years. A friend of mine told me about l3urdocls Blood Bitters, so I got a bottle to try, and before I was half finished I could eat anything without suffering, and when I had nerd twat bottles 1 was sound and well. Nese I feel just fine; indeed 1 can't say toe much in favor of your tiledicine." -Burdock Blood Bitters is manufac» tured only by The T. Milburn Limit* ed, Toronto, Ont. Co.,r WEEDS QF ONTARIO, The Ontario Department of Agricul- ture has issued a valuable bulletin on '‘The Weeds of Qntario" by J. E. Howitt, M, S.A., lecturer on botany at the Ontario Agricultural College, In the foreword it is pointed' out that a review of the history of the weed bul- letins issued from the Ontario Agricul. tural College reflects the growth of the seriousness of .the weed problem throughout the province during the past twenty years, the consequent gradua increase of an interest in the practice study of weed plants, and the never ending necessity for education ' in the matter. It is also stated that the first bulletin sent out was prepared by the late J. Noyes Panton, M.A., F,G.S., and appeared in 1887,; and was a small three -paged circular. It called atten- tion to the rapid increase of weeds in Qntario and warned farmers particular- ly against the inroads of the perennial sow thistle which had made its appear- ance in the neighborhood, and where it is evidently not eradicated yet, The present bulletin consists of the amalga- mation of two former ones and 'com- prises 144 pages. It is hoped that its distribution amongst those who are actively engaged in farming, the teach- ers and pupils in'the schools, and others who are interested in our weed pro- blems may have beneficial results. Some idea of the scope of it may be formed from its contents: What is a Weed? Injurious Effects of Weeds, Introduction and Spread of Weeds, Collection and Identification, Classifi- cation, General Principles in the Con- trt'1 of Weeds, Cenerai Methods for the Eradcation of Weeds. A Few Facts Regarding Weed Seeds in Clover and Grass Seeds, Sections of the Seed Con- troI Act, A Number of Common Weeds with popular Descriptions and Notes on Eradication with illustrations, and a copy of the Act to Prevent the Spread of Noxious Weeds. Copies of the bul- letin may no doubt be secured from the Ontario Agricultuaal College, Guelph, and should be in the hands of every progressive farmer.

STANDARD OIL'S WEALTH, The Standard Oil Company has a capital stock of $110,000,000 of which $100,000,000 of common and $10,000,000 is preferred. It is supposed to have a surplus of about $500,000,000. The stock recently advanced from 675 to 6781-4 a share. It closed on the curb after the decision was known at 650 bid and 700 asked. The cash assets of the company, ac- cording to the last annual report, were about $388 a share. These assets do not include the value of the company's oil above ground, which is figured at $300,000,000, or about $300 a share; so that in actual liquidation the value of the Standard Oil stock would be about $688 a share. The eompany has 8,000 miles of trunk pipe line, 75,000 miles of feeders and controls 70 per cent of the refining business of the country, having 2 refi- neries, each with, a daily capacity of from 15,000 to 30,090 barrels. It has erected and maintains oil sup- plies in nearly 4,000 stations through- out the United States, holds 80,000,000 barrels of oil continually in reserve and requires 9,000 tank cars and 5,000 tank wagons to handle initial domestic dis- tribution. More than one half of the company's refined products is consumed abroad, 200 vessels, ineluding 60 ocean tank steamers, being engaged in transport - frig its products, and this foreign busi- ness has brought to this country more than $1,000,000,000 of foreign gold. The company employes 70,000 men, has a pay roll of $150,000 a day, and in 40 years of corporate existence has had no labor troubles. -New York World. ---•-•-�--- Dreary Old Age. I'm growing old. The fact forlorn brings to my eyes the tears. The mu- sic of the dinner horn no longer eharms my ears. I'm summoned to the groan- ing board, and go with dragging feet, and languidly I take my sword and carve the fragrant meet. I nibble at the stately roast, I care not for the hash; I am not hungry for the toast, the eggs or succotash. And when I've eaten something hot my stomach breaks its thills, and ties itself into a knot and makes demand fortils . Ah mei Ah you!

When I was young my appetite was equal to the fray; I ate all day and dreamed ail night of grub that got away.

No longer comfort do 2 find in dinner trumpet's blare; nor do I with contented .mind discuss the bill of fare. -Walt Mason, OVER 2 M1LLIQN PACKAGES. SOLD WEEKLY.' WASTE IN WOOD. The wood cut in the forests of the United States in a twelvemonth, if so put together as to form a single mass, would make a solid cube half a mile on each edge. Just about two-thirds of all this wood is lost by waste. In` cordwood the loss is five per cent; in posts and rails it is twenty per cent.; in hewed crossties it is seventy per cent.,, and in cooperage stock it runs up to nearly eighty per cent. An organized effort is now being made to prevent this enormous waste. At every lumbermen's meeting the matter is discussed with anxious in- terest. They realize better than any- body else that the time is at hand for progress along lines of close utiliza- tion in dealing with the output of the forests. To illustrate the possibilities in this direction it may be mentioned that, if the slabs, edgings, trimmings and shavings from the spruce, hemlock, poplar and cottonwood cut for lumber in the year 1910 had been used for papermaking, they would have furnish- ed over four million cords -an amount amply sufficient to produce all paper manufactured in the United States. The waste of beech, birch and maple in our Northern woods is sufficient, if it were properly utilized, to produce the bulk of the wood alcohol and acet- ate of lime used in this country. If so utilized it would yield an output worth annually about seven million dollars. To -day, however, nearly all of the wood employed in the manufac- ture of these products is cut specially for the purpose. Again, the pine -mill waste in the Southern States is amply sufficient to produce a quantity pf turpentine equal to that now obtained by tapping live trees. However, in this direction a new departure has been taken and tur- pentine is already being turned out from pine waste by about thirty distil- ling plants in that section, with an an- nual output valued at half a million dollars. These instructive facts are cited by William L. Hall, an officer of the for- est service, in an article to be publish- ed in the forthcoming year book of the Department of Agriculture, whence the data herewith presented have been derived. HOUSEHOLE INDUSTRIES ' IN FRANCE. Handicraft not only predominates over machine processes in France but some of the best products of the coun- try are made by the people in their homes. The Paris shop girl embroiders in the omnibus on her way to work. The concierge's wife looks up from the initial she is putting on a handkerchief as she tells you that the person you want to see is on the entresol, two doors down the court. The peasant and fisher people all have some sort of indoor work to fill out their year. The ways in which these cottage in- dustries are directed furnish an exceed- ingly interesting study in management, The finest French laces, for instance, are made by hand in the cottages of peasants in the mountains, where farm- ing is hard, and in the rugged fishing villages. There are no designers, as with the machine -lace faetories in the industrial centers -no supervision such as we are familiar with. Yet the pro- duct is always kept in harmony with actual market needs and the hightest standards of artistic quality are main- tained. In each village there is in- variably some worker whose ideas and skill fix the standard. From the time the little children ;fmake their first stitches they begin to cultivate an in- telligent appreciation of good work. Even the French peasant has a more or less intuitive sense of what is good taste in design So the merchants who market the products of these cottage industries have no difficulty in getting goods that fit the demand. Some years ago an American con- cern making a popular novelty used in dressmaking opened' a salesroom hi Paris. The goods took hold so well that ita w s soon necessary to make them in Franee. Hero in the United States the whole process is performed by machinery in a big, factory; but in France the easiest and cheapest way Of making the same novelty at first was through the cottage workers, by hand. The latter were found to be all linked together in an organization that made it possible to teach the process; and to this day, though the concern now has a big French factory, much of - its work is still done in the cottages.

"Six months ago I was cured of piles by the use of Dr, Chase's Ointment," writes Mr, G. A. Swayze, Copenhagen, Elgin Co., Ont. "I had been afflicted for over thirty years and tried all sorts of treatments in vain, so I was surpris- ed and delighted to be cured. I don't care for publicity but would like to tell every one suffering from piles about Dr. Chase's Ointment. JUNE BRIDES. [Windsor Record.] With the advent of June it is emin- ently fitting and proper to address a few words ._ef counsel to brides and bridegrooms. June is their month -the month in which they take a most im- portant step that makes or mars their future happiness. Marriage is a partnership, The bride takes her vows to love, honor and obey -not always obey -if an accomodating person be found. The groom takes a similar vow to love honor and keep his bride until death do them part. Matrimony involves both a legal and a moral contract. It is as binding on the man as it is on the woman. There cannot be one standard for the husband and another for the wife. The hus- band, who later acquires the habit of "going out nights" ought not to com- plain if his wife begins to feel neglect- ed and seeks her own amusement. The finest feature about wedded life is that it is a lifelong measure of reci- procity. There must be "give and take" on each side. The husband errs who thinks that he is always right and that his wife is always wrong. The same applies to the wife. A modest start in housekeeping is always advisable. The practice of boarding with the mother-in-law on either side of the house seldom works out satisfactorily. Get started ,as early as possible on light housekeeping. Cut short the wedding trip if nececsary in order to do so. Install the bare house- keeping necessities and add to the fur- niture from time to time. And the best furniture will prove the cheapest in the long run. It is well to remember that it takes some time to "get a start" and that it is better to pay as you go rather than try to keep up appearances under a burdensome debt. One of the happiest wedded couples in Windsor tendered on one occasion some joint advice pertaining to brides of June or any other month that will apply in conclusion:, "You can't be single and married at'the same time." Think it over. Rod and Gun. The most interesting portion of the fine story of the trip to Hudson's Bay via the Albany River by W. J. Malone appears in the June issue of Rod and Gun in Canada, published by W. J. Taylor Limited, Woodstock, Ontario. The trip was quite an adventurous one and is written in a spirit of thorough appreciation of the beauties and allure- ments of the wild and of the advantag- es enjoyed by one able to go so far from the beaten track. The ihterest is deepened by Mr. Malone's treatment of the theme and the fine illustrations accompanying the narrative. As mask- inonage fishing opens in the middle of the month, two papers dealing with maskionage fishing in the Kawartha Lakes and in the St. Lawrence are most appropriate. The vacationist will turn to Summer Holidays and Where to Spend Them, while many lovers of firearms will read Comparing 12, 16 and 20 Bore Guns by F..Ii. Conover and note the illustrations with the in- terest born of enthusiasm. A paper on Game Law Violators who commit offences in one Province and escape punishment by going to another, raises a quesI on that will have to be settled sooner or later and which, in the inter- ests of the game, should be settled without undue delay. • CASTOR IA l!!'a Wants and Qi111.drelt, the kW You Nava 'Always Bought Bears the Sigriattiro ill HIGH SCHOOL BOARD -Frank Buchan- an, (Chairman), Wm.

From the report of the Minister of Education for the past year it is shown that the school teachers throughout the province are getting higher salaries than for the previous year. In town schools the average salary for male teachers is $1,000, an increase of $14 over the previous year, and for female teachers $532, an increase of $16. In rural schools the average salary has increased $22, being $484. Female teachers in these schools are receiving $17 more, the average being $399. To- tal amount expended in public schools last year was $17,321,239 on 5,913 schools with a school population of 401,- 268, The cost per pupil increased from $17.52 to $17.84. As compared with this 32 cents increase in public schools there was an increase . in cost per pupil hi high schools of $5.57, the cost now be- ing $48.

Do dairymen know that a romp barn is much stronger and "tar more convenient than a rectangular barn and that the latter requires 22 peg Gent more wall and foundation and 34 to 58 per Gent more in cost of Mate - riot to inclose the same space? fpr. fessor Wilber J. Fraser of the Ulniree4 sity of Illinois built a sixty foot round dairy barn on his twenty acre demon- stration dairy farm at the universit,Jl at Urbana two years ago and has found it entirely satisfactory. He tool: UOw A. HOUND Rang LOOS$. [The round barn has many friends. The accompanying illustration, reproduced from the Orange Judd Farmer, shows a barn of this kind owned by Vaulot Chris, Who has a farm not tar from Freeport' I11. The lower part is used for stabling animals and the upper part for housing grain, hay and farm machinery. The bridge on the left is a drive, and the hay and other stuff are hauled to the barn over this.] unusual pains to find out the most suitable, convenient and economical construction for a dairy barn and silo (the silo Is essential to the business), and he bas been helped by the enact figures and experience of a carpenter who makes a specialty of building round barns. The silo is at the center. Feeding commences at the chute and is contin- ued around the circle, ending with the silage cart at the chute again. There is a like saving of steps in feeding hay. and grain. The root is entirely salt supporting, and there are no posts or girders to obstruct the haymow. The bay carrier runs on a central track midway between the silo and the out- side wall. Bach row of boards around• the barn forms a hoop that holds the building together. The circular wall and arched roof ward oft the wind and present the greatest resistance to a storm. Much less material is required for the silo in the center of the tonne barn, but the silo must go outside the rectangular barn. The sixty foot round barn requires $ 780 for material. while the 36 by 781 foot plank frame barn of the same capacity requires $1,023 and the mortise frame barn of the same size $1,233. The same figures for a ninety foot round barn compared with plank frame and mortise frame barns 36 by •170%7 feet are respectively $1.028, $2,008 and $2,498. These figures compare the barns without silos. But a sixty foot round barn and silo re- quire $1,046 worth of material, white the rectangular barn of the same ca- pacity and a silo require $1,424, show- ing a saving of $379 for the round barn and silo. and if it is compared with a mortise frame rectangular barn the saving is $589. The corresponding figures for a ninety toot round barn. and silo are $2,024, $2,718 and $3,208. TnZcn1cmx9(19(xxxxxX• • Let us hope that the time is not far distant when advertise• ments will not be found upon barns.. The barn should adver- tise the farm, the five stock and the marketable products from the farm rather than the goods of others.
