EDITORIAL NOTES. simply issuing a copy of the circular letter addressed by Sir John Thompson to his electors in 1591. It reads; "The Government of which I am a member is appealing to the country with a pol- icy which we believe will be heartily endorsed by a great majority of the electors. We hay.- r,- ade to the Gov- ernment of the United States,through the Government of Great Britain, pro- posals for reciproi:ity in trade which we have good reason to believe will result in an arrangement by which the markets of the UL,ited States will be reopened to the products which our people desire most to send there. A fair measure of reciprocity is what we desire, and we hive no doubt that that can be obtained without undue sacri- fice. "-Montreal Herald. If Sir Wilfrid Laurier had not accept- ed the offer of President Taft for a con- ference and consummated a bargain he would have been denc'Ctnced as an in- competent by men who are now de- nouncing him because he made a bar- gain. The men who are talking annex- ation in Canada are, with few excep- tions, doing so for the purpose of mak- ingparty capital. They are a dangerous but fortunately a small class in this Dominion. -Winnipeg Tribune. - No Canadian Premier ever left Cana- dian shores to represent Canada in any important conference who . has been subjected to the cowardly abuse that has been poured upon the absent Pre- mier of Canada by the less responsible of the Conservative critics. These pa- pers led by such hostile critics as The Toronto News and The Winnipeg Tele- gram are endeavoring to make the pub- lic believe that Sir Wilfrid Laurier is not loyal to Britain, or the Greater Britain, because he led in the opposi- tion to some of the wild and ill-natured schemes of Sir Joseph Ward. -Calgary Albertan. When Blood id Pui,iuu, The blood must be filtered, otherwise you are poisoned. If the kidneys fail the liver is overworked, and becomes torpid. By using Dr. Chase's Kidney - Liver Pills you get both these filtering organs working right, and also ensure healthful action of the bowels For this reason these pills are an ideal fam- ily medicine. They cure biliousness, constipation, chronic indigestion and kidney disease. Sir Wilfrid Laurier has laid down the three following principles for inter -im- perial trade developement that cannot fail to commend themselves to the good judgment of the people of Great Bri- tain: "That it should be a first effort of the self-governing dominions to develop their trade as far as possible with the mother country; secondly, they should not confine the effort to the British market, but be allowed as their second object to increase their trade with other nations; thirdly, any benefits given by the dominions to other nations should be given also not only to the mother country, but to the other dom- inions of the empire. "-Toronto Globe. But our belief is that it ought to be possible for the British Government to get the majority of the foreign peoples with whom it has trade treaties to ap- preciate the --fact that the self-govern- ing colonies have become commercial entities, and that they must be treated with separately in trade matters Any foreign Government which refuses this act of justice, advertises thereby its intention to take an advantage of the situation which does not properly be- long to it.

TO DRAIN OR NOT TO DRAIN, Prof. W. H. Day has recently been making some calculations on the firian- cial side of drainage. A farmer has 50 acres that is rather wet but although not drained it gives say $15 per acre. The value of the crop for five years in succession, together with compound in- terest, would be $4144 at the end of the five years. If however he were to drain 10 acres of the land each year, and if the drainage increased the value of the crop by $10 per acre (which is a low estimate) then the value of the crop for five years, with interest, would be $5748. After paying for the drain- age, with interest, he would have left $4124, the same within $20 as if he had not drained, but if he drained the whole 50 acres at once then the five crops, with interest, would be worth $6908. This after paying for the drainage would leave him a balance of $5121, which is $977 more than if he had not drained. During the next five-year period drainage by the installment plan would net him $1604 more than not to drain at all, and the complete drainage would enrich him by $2764 more than no drainage. The price allowed for drainage in the calculation was $28 per acre, and the increase in the crop was placed at $10 per acre. As a matter of fact the in- crease is usually worth much more than this, so that the computation is some- what unfair to drainage, however it is better to err on the safe side. But the increase in crop is not the only return from drainage. The value of the land is largely increased. This is illustrated in the case of a certain farm in Lincoln County. It was bought for $6000 about two years ago. Last year $2000 was spent in draining it, and it has since been sold for $12000. The Department of Physics, 0. A.;C., over which Professor Dey has charge, has a large staff engaged in making drainage surveys for farmers wishing to drain, but they are kept very busy. Those who wish surveys made this fall should apply at once, as there are nearly as many applications in as can be attended to this season. The terms on which surveys are made are explained in Bulletins 174 and 175, which may be had free from the Department of Agriculture, Toronto.

The new extension work of the Dairy Division, Ottawa, is causing many en- quiries to be made. For the benefit of our readers it may be explained that officials are now located in Peterboro, Lanark and Oxford counties, Ontario; St. Hyacinthe and Brome, Quebec; and at Kensington, P. E. I., with a view of gathering°specific information as to the exact standing of the dairying industry in the district, each such district is termed a dairy record centre. Each farmer will be called on, and there will be obtained from him a statement as to the number of acres cultivated and in pasture, the number of cows, the type of sire, the weight of milk sent to the factory, the milk used at home, the cost of feed, and so on. When these statements are compiled there will be definite and valuable information for the encouragement of other dairymen. It is intended to follow up this work closely for some years both in these and in other sections. The recorders are paying special at AFTER THE FLIES.

Cut out those that do not make a profit and beep the best. At least one-third of the cows in Missouri are unprofitable. Weigh the milk of each cow regularly and have it tested monthly, 1f possible, by the Bab- cock test, Use only a pure bred bull of a strictly dairy breed and from the kind of cow you wish to raise. Rptse the heifer calves from the best cows with great care. feed your cows silage, clover, ' cowpeas or alfalfa hay and one pound grain to three pounds milk produced. v;Ge000vi; RAISING HOTHOUSE LAMBS. Interesting Experience of a Shepherd' With Cross Bred Sheep. For our first venture in breeding hot-' house lambs we bought ten Dorset' ewes and a buck, writes a Maine farm- er in the New England Homestead. As' these sheep were quite costly, we sup- plemented them with a flock of Shrop- shire ewes, crossing these with the Dorset buck and reserving the ewe lambs for breeders, continuing this practice until we had n flock of pure bred and high grade sheep sufficient for our wants. We disposed of all the Shropshire ewes and the half bloods. as they were not sure enough early' breeders. To show that it was not all smooth sailing we will mention that nine of the Dorset ewes of our first flock, from one cause or another, sometimes seemingly from no cause at all, died natural deaths. The tenth one lived to be old and was sold with a nice lamb by her side. In the tight of subse- quent events we concluded she was +A grade, although she came to us with registry papers apparently all correct, but some of her descendants in the 0 00000 For the last century the sheep of Sussex have been justly tamed for 'their ability, as mutton producers. The short herbage of the chalk hula evolved a hardy, muscular animal that responded so kindly to artifi- cial encouragement that theirs has been the premier place in finished competition.. The breed did Itself full justice in last year's shows. The pure bred Southdown •herewith illustrated shows the rugged, full meated type of sheep for which the breed is noted. third generation failed to develop horns. Be that as it may, she was the best and most profitable of the Dor- sets we bought. The same holds true of the sheep we bred ourselves. The ewes descending from the Shropshire stock, after hav- ing been continually crossed with Dor- set bucks until they carried but a small fraction of Shropshire blood, were hardier than the pure Dorset stock, bred just as early, and were as good milkers. This last is high praise. for Dorset ewes are great producers of milk. The Dorset lambs are a bit too long in the legs and not as plump in the body as is desirable, so we have dis- carded Dorset rams and substituted Southdown bucks, giving lambs of ideal form combined with the great milking qualities of the Dorset ewes. Windows in Horse Stable. The windows in a horse stable should be so arranged that the horses Are not required to stand for hours with the full glare of the sutilight in their eyes. Preferably they should be in the south wail, but not if the stable has been so arranged that a row of stalls faces directly on the south wall. In laying Out a stable it is well to keep this fact in mind and so plan the ar- rangement of stalls that the horses will stand tail to or side to the south. Then that wall may carry enough win- dows to light practically the entire building. It is best that light entering a stable Should fall on the horses from the rear, Cows on Gross, During 00 toof time the pear is a va- riety of feed so important ns Suring.
