—With regard to bi-lingual schools,
the Ontario Government is of the
opinion that the law as it stands at
present is sufficient for the regulation
of so named schools. 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

—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.

NEW STYLE RURAL MAIL BOX.
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

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

SOME FACTORS IN IF VOU WANT IT

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

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.
