While the Commissioners have de- clined remuneration, the Cabinet think it only fair that the services of the Chairman for the past seven years should be recognized. —Notwithstanding the extreme ef- forts of the Suffragettes, there will 1 e no votes for them this year. The Wo- man Suffrage Bill, commonly known as "the Conciliation Bill," which would have permitted a million woman tax;- payers in Great Britain to exercise the franchise, was rejected by the British House of Commons on Thursday last, by 222 to 208.

Dr. Merchant's investigation shows. that the law has not been enforced, so the Government intends to take steps to have it en- forced, arid to make regulations that will not .permit evasions of the law, and of t.rhe regulations so easy in future. It is understood that the Department of Education will re -or- ganize the system of inspection by making the inspectors responsible to the department by requiring them to report to the department instead of to the county councils as they do now. The Government also assured its sup- porters it is said, that limitations would be placed on the .use of French as a language of communication and instruction. W hil`e the French child may be allowed to use its mother tongue on entering school, it will be required to use English entirely after leaving the primary grades. * ** —Regarding N. W. Rowell's new policy recently determined on for the Ontario Liberal party, various opini- ons are expressed. With the past record of Ontario Liberals on the Temperance question, useless plebis- cites, used to fool the electors, though carried by large majorities, Mr. Ro• well need not wonder that doubts are expressed, as to the fulfillment of such a policy. The sditor Of the Advance would not accuse Mr. Rowell of being insincere. We believe him to be a temperance man sincere in bis con- victions, but he will find many who will regard his platform as merely a political expedient. It was not an easy tnatter to line up even the twenty-two Liberal members of the Legislature, and to secure such a following as will carry him into power will be much more difficult. It is true, that advanced legislation along temperance lines is expected and de- manded from politicians. But sup- pose Ile. Rowell was in power to- morrow, what guarantee have we that "Banish the Bar" policy would be- come a legislative fact, any more than did Sir ' Wilfrid Laurier's "Reform of the Senate" plank. When the latter rode into powe><' that plank was forgotten, and the Senate re- mained the tame, except that all new Senators appointed were Gritt instead of Tories. Suppose the hotel bars are. all closed, will that remove the ap- petite p•petrte for liquor? And white the ap- petite remains and liquor is to be had, will it not be consumed? With the bars closed, and the shops and clubs. open, will net the evil stili exist, only in another form, except perhaps that instead of buying one drink, a man will buy a package containing ten or even twenty drinks? One pronounced temperance pian claims that, h If the, bars are to be abolished, the sale of lirlcior should be I,laced in the hands of Government employees, who have no personal interest in disposing of it,. and who should have power to refute to sell to anybody they think has to legal right to obtain It. Whether Mr, 1.owell's policy ever becomet; fast, advafncing temperance sentiment is a factor that legislators matt take into a.ecount.

Postoffico Urges Farmers to Help Pro= tett Themselves Against Thieves. The postolllce department, at the suggestion of Fourth Assistant Post- master General l:'. V. DeGraw, has is- sued circulars to postmasters from Whose offices rural routes are served, as well as those whose offices are not far distant therefrom, iuforraing them that it is the desire of the depart- ment that all,patrons of rural delivery be urged to set up neat posts to which their mail boxes should be attached and to paint both boxes and posts white. This,.it is argued, will tend to secure uniformity and at the same time to serve notice that the box is under the protection of the laws which regulate the mail service, In addition, t'be pa- trons are urged to paint their names and box numbers in black letters two inches high on the boxes. This will serve the same purpose ats< the front door plate in the city and make it easy to find any patron living along the line of a rural route, Postmasters are further urged to en- deavor to induce county and other of- ficials to paint on the posts support- ing the boxes located at crossroads the names of the towns or villages to which the roads lead and an arrow METHOD OF MOUNTING RURAL MAIL BOXES BECOMD1ENDED 13Y POSTOFFICE DEP.0 T - WENT. • indicating the direction. Signs will not be permitted to be attached to the posts, but the guiding directions are to be painted in black letters on the posts. As the posts to which the mail boxes are to be attached must be set in an easily accessible position, so as . to facilitate the work of the rural car- rier, the department recommends that the boxes be fastened to a projecting arm of wood or to a bracket, of band iron about three -sixteenths of an inch thick, or, df preferred, an automatic extension arm may be used. In speaking of the subject General DeGraw says: "We :want our rural posts and boxes to look as .though they really represented a government service. This will do more to protect them from marauders than anything else. Then. again, with the names of the box owners and the town and vil- etge guide directions in plain view one can find his way as easily on a coun- try rural route as In the city, where numbers and door plates on the houses and street names on ! ee lamp- posts are indispensable to stl rangers in finding their -way." OATS AND CANADA PEAS. Best Green Crop to Follow Clover. Sow Early£in Spring. In his bulletin on green crops for summer soiling J. 13. Lindsey of the Massachusetts station says that oats and Canada field peas make the best green crop to follow clover. Generally it is advisable to make three sowings, the first early as possible in the spring, the second and third fifteen and thirty days later. One and one-half bushels each of the oats and peas Is the usual quantity to the acre. They both may be sown broadcast at the salve time rafter the land is plowed and thoroughly har- rowed in with a wheel harrow, or the peas may be first sown and four or five days later the oats, the latter be- ing covered with an Actne or similar harrow. The first sowing will be ready about June 25, and the Cutting should begin as soon as the oats show the head. The average yield from the second and third sowings is likely to be heavy, as the crop matures more quickly dur- ing warm weather, Oats and peas will remain in condition to cut for ten or twelve clays. The average cow will consume from fifty to eighty pounds daily until that feed becomes tough. One-third of an acre win generally furnish ten cows with sufficient green feed for twelve days. This is figured on a basis from forty to fifty pounds per day in the case of average sized cows, with ten poundsds of hay. Professor Lindsey does not consider it wise to feed more than this amount of coarse green feeds daily for the rea- son that an mese produces an ex. eeedingly laxative condition of the bowels. Animals fed in excess of fifty pounds are likely to become noticeabiy thin In flesh, In tuldltion to the hay arra green fodder, he believes it will usuftlly prove economical to feed from four to seven quarts of grain tnixtnre composed of one twenty-fifth part of Bran and one part of flour middliege land gluten feed.

The conditioe of the animal when it goes into th4 Peed lot is important. Then, too, till demands of the market must not b4 overlooked. Some beef markets re quire animals ot moderate finish. Aa a rule, however, the fatter the ant mals within certain limits the highel the price paid by the buyer; cense quently the older and more mature ant mals are apt to reach. the desired stat4 of fatness sooner than will a, verj young animal. As the fattening period progresset the cost of putting on flesh becomet greater and. greater; consequently 04 animal that will go into the feed lot and fatten with the greatest rapiditl is the one that is the most profitable Then very thin animals usually sell fol the least as feeders. Tills makes tilt It is one grand mistake to try to get steers on what is known as full feed too soon, writes W. S. A. Smith in Farm and Fireside. Personally I never get my steers on what 49 known as full feed—that is to say, they never In any twenty-four hours get all they can eat. When does a steer make his gain? When he is lying down. It is impossible to get economical gains If conditions are such that cattle have no comforta- ble place to rest. The l;Iereford breed of beef cattle has long been a favorite with many feeders. The fine Hereford cow shown is a good type of this easily fattened breed. margin between the buying and sellins price wider, and therefore it might frequently pay to buy very thin anis mals, provided they had good quality and the feeder knew how to maks them gain rapidly. The price of feed, of course, has a great deal to do with this proposition. Then, too, hogs which follow the cattle must not be forgotten. Feed, frig shelled corn is always attended with some waste. On most farms the corn Is either fed in the broken eat condition or shelled. As a result hogs must always have a part In the cattle feeding proposition. The amount of corn that will pass through the ani' mal undigested will depend somewhat upon the condition of the cattle. If the cattle are in prime condition they Will digest larger quantities than if they are not doing very well. The universal practice is to have hogs fol• low the cattle, and the amount of pork produced in this way is a very consid- erable item in reckoning profits. Of course this varies widely. It varies because of the kind' of corn used, be- cause of the season and the number of hogs that follow. If cattle are being fed very heavily the amount of pork produced will be large. During the early part of the feeding period, when only so much grain as is consumed promptly is used, the waste will be slight. It will not do, however, to leave hogs out of the reckoning. es Fattening Ration For Hogs. John C. Burns, professor of animal husbandry of the A. and 11I. college of Texas, says that with tankage to sup- plement a grain ration cottonseed meal or wheat bran is not really needed in the fattening of hogs. He believes, however, that it would prove profita- ble to add a limited quantity of mo- lasses to the ration both as an appe- tizer and to cheapen the feed, as mo- lasses at 15 Cents a gallon is cheaper than grain at prevailing prices. He recommends the following proportions as a well balanced fattening ration: Nine pounds of ear corn or seven pounds of shelled corn, two pounds of black strap molasses and one pound of tankage. The grain should be soak- ed In water about twelve hours, and the molasses should be diluted with about its own volume of water and the tankage thoroughly stirred In it and poured over the grain In the trough at the time of feeding. 00000000000 0 0 0 0 0 0 O 0 O 0 0 0 0 0 0 o' 004 0x000000000 0 0 THE VALUAI3LE CORN. The farmer makes the most mons who devotes fields y t cs hi• s fie s to the growing of crops to feed stock, making use of all the raw products at home, thereby not only saving much of the cost of transportation, but .also main- taining the fertility of the soil. Taking everything into consider- ation, corn will probably produeo more food per acre for domestic animals than any other plant, find there are but few feeds Which Can be fed in a greater variety of ways. 4).4)44444.4400 Potatoes Prom.
