The report of the Minister of Agri- culture for the year ending Marsh 3Ist, 1913, has been printed, It con- tains in concise and readable form a review of the work carried on by the Department of Agriculture through its several branches and divisions during the year, It includes also the Orders in Council that were passed affecting agriculture. The report ie presented under five general heads as follows—1, General remarks ; 2, Arts and Agriculture ; 3, Patents of Invention ; 4, Copyrights, Trade Marks, Industrial Designs and Timber mark; ; 5, Public Reath. There ie also included au appendix having reference to Public Health, Exhibition. and the Seventh Inter- national Congress held at Rome against Tuberculosis. Referring to the trade in dairy pro. ducts it is pointed out that fcr the . first time in sixtyyeare no butter was exported to the United Kingdom, but on the other hand more than six and one half million pounds were import. ed into Canada during the year. Iu the Seed Branch among other work almost nineteen thousand samples of farm seeds were tested for fanners and seed merchants. The hive Stock Commissioner by means of public sales disturbed up- wards of 1300 breeding sheep about one-third of which were pure-bred rams. In the Record of Performance about one hundred cows have been entered for teat. Those represent stock of about 150 farms. Through the Experimental Palms system which includes the Central Farm and fifteen Branch Farms and Stations an enormous amount of work has been done. The report not only gives one a general knowledge of its extent but brings to light many ac- complishments for agriculture. In Saskatchewan, it ie pointed out that the new spring wheat "Marquis" yielded at the rate of 81 bushels per acre. The still newer "Prelude" wheat which ripens much earlier than other good sorts was sent out for teat dur- ing the year. A much larger quantity ie promised for distribution during the coming winter. Many other use- ful points are recorded in the Minis- ter's report copies of which are avail- able to those who apply for it to the Publications Branch of the Depart- ment of Agriculture at Ottawa. Tried and Found Wanting. How the Liberal party with its loud protests for the good of the people has been tried and found wanting is written in official files at Ottawa. There it can be seen that the late Gov- ernment deliberately shirked its duty to inquire into the question of ocean freight rates though the Britieh Gov- ernment was willing to enter into ne- gotiations. The Conservative opposi- tion in 1910 time and again endeavour- ed to have the Liberals take the matter up. There was some correspondence but the matter ended there. But the Conservative Government has now sent the chairman of the Board of Railway Commissioners to England to negotiate and a report will be made on his return. The late Mr. Justice Mabee chairman of the railway board and appointed by Sir Wilfred Laurier and a man, who was respected and ad- mired by all parties suggested a scheme of joint control of dates. His memorondum was forwarded to the Colonial Office by the then Govern- ment. The Imperial authorities at once fell in with the suggestion of a joint investigation, but the Canadian Government dropped the whole matter neglecting even to reply to the com- munications forwarded on the subject by the Colonial `Office. The British Government is now and has been for some time ready to take the ocean freight question up with the Dominion Government. Records now on file here show this and furnish a lircomplete refutation of the contention put by the Opposition laet session that i the rise in rates complained of at that time took place subsequent to the change of Government. The increase in rates was brought to the notice of the Laurier Government early in 1910 At that time merchants and boards of trade were complaining, and Mr. Richard Grigg, new commissioner of commerce, then resident British trade commissioner to Montreal, drew up a memorandum showing that the rate had materially risen and observing that this constituted an impairment of the British preference. In February, 1912, the chairman of -the Railway Commission, the late Judge Mabee, signed a vigorous mem- orandum, pointing out that if the con- trol of land rates was benefleia•1 to the public, the control of the ocean rates would be much more so, the land journey being only one third of the distance. "Every reduction made en the land haul gives the ocean barrier the opportunity to add to his charges," Mabee, saidJudge ,, The people of Canada were laying the foundation for more benefits than they ever imagined when they threw out the Liberal party on September 21, 1011, They' elected a party devoted to their interests and able and willing to carry out the promises made In Op- position.

No idleness, no laziness, no prom -seg. nation, riever put off till to.morraw whet yon can do to•day. Guelph is having an Old Horne Week, Kingston has had an Ohl Boys' Reunion, and Hamilton's Centennial Week in August will bring home again thousands of its expatriates. The Old Boy.' Reunion idea is becom- Ing a future in Ontario civic llfe. Nowhere, perhaps, has the idea been more successfully milted out than in Hamilton, and the reason for this maybe that Hamilton has avoided the mistake of too frequent celebrations, and when one is planned its scale is so elaborate that former I1amiltonians make hasteto take part. In the drab, and sometimes the shadows of life, these Home Reunions are, to the old boys and girls able to join in them, singularly enlivening and interesting events, In the renewal of old as- sociations and the revival of former friendships the gathered expatriates may live over again past incidents they bad thought buried for good. The "pictures that hang on memory's wall" take on warmer hues. Some who fear to look behind, beeauee of the disappearance of. old friends, and the desolation of change, are cheered and brightened by meeting those whom they gave up ae lost. It is true, as Samuel Johnston says, that if a man does not make new acquain- tances as he advances in life he will soon find himself left alone. It is necessary for a man to keep his friend- ship in constant repair. This is in- evitable, because of the "changing scenes of life." 'But revieitatian of old haunts, the contact with former familiars, the picking up of forgotten life threads, give a pleasure not at all lessened because they are an abrupt break from present associations, That break is, indeed, their charm. This linking of the past with the present is, of course, only one feature of the re- unions, but it is the principal aim of the movement, and has the highest value. Every city and town not so Large that its people are practical � strangers tb each other ought to have a well -organized reunion of its old boys and girls at least once every flee years. Apple Dealers In Western Canada. The success of apple growing as an industry depends to a great extent on the securing of a good market. it is no uncommon occurence almost every fall for great quantities of apples to lie about under the trees to rot or' to be fed to hogs because no good market is accessible. While the fruit is thus go- ing to waste there are thousands of house -holders more especially in the Prairie Provinces that are longing for fresh fruit of a sort that can be stored and drawn upon during the winter months. The difficulty of the one class is to reach buyers for the fruit and of the other to find a supply at a moder- ate price. To bridge the gulf that separates these two classes, and there- by do both an invaluable service ; the Dairy and Cold Storage Commissioner has issued a list of the wholesale and retail apple dealers in Manitoba, Sask- atchewan, Alberta and sections of New Ontario whose addresses were available. These which number about 275 dealers and firms, with few excep- tions are said to be in a position to buy at least one carload of fruit. This in- formation is given in Circular No, 8 of the Dairy and Cold Storage Branch, copies of which may be secured free from the Publications Branch of the Department of Agriculture, at Ottawa. • IN 1913 NO MORE RHEUMATISM Easy to Cure It Now ; Also Gout and Sciatica J.
