the consumption per head of spirits, it
shows au increase in the consumption
of beer; the latter showing being largely
due, no doubt, to the introduction of
lager and other beers of light alcoholic
strength. In connection with the above
figures, it is to be noted that. in Great
Britain the consumption of spirits is 1.02
gallons per head per annum, and of beer
31.3 gallons per head; in Germany it is
1.89 gallons of spirits. and 26 gallons of
beer; in France, 1.94 gallons of spirits,
5.3 of beer, besides 24.25 gallons of wine.
The United States is credited with a
causumption of spirits amounting to 0 86
of a gallon perhead, and of beer amount-
ing to 12.6 gallons per head. On the
whole these figures afford just ground
for the conclusion that Canadians are a
sober people.

„ The different railways of the United
k �� 1 1Uii) INSTITUTE States and Canada have decided that
whenever tickets are required to be
stamped with any of the various special
rubber stamps the impress shall be
made upon the back, and not on the
face of the ticket. Scalpers have been
in the habit of covering up their erasures
and alterations on ticket by the use of
these stamps, and the present rule will
make the stamp useless for this purpose.
Another rule provides that every woman
who purchases a ticket shall be required
to sign with the prefix Mrs. or Miss, and
her fall name.
After Ticket Scalpers.
NOTES AND COMMENTS.
Kansas raised 94,000,000 bushels of
wheat last year -more than a bushel
for every man, woman and child in tha
United States and her insular possess-
ions. This is enough to feed the nation
on breadstuffs a month.
The appointment of Hon. A. G. Blair,
Hon. M. E. Bernier and Dr. James Mills
as members of the Railway Commission
is gazetted. Mr. Blair is designated as
chief commissioner, and Mr. Bernier is
deputy chief commissioner.
The executive of the Ontario branch
of the Dominion Alliance has adopted a
pledge which will be submitted to every
candidate for the Legislature, binding
him to support temperance legislation to
the full extent of the power of the pro-
vince, irrespective of party alliance.
The expected happened in North Ox-
ford on Tuesday last, whett Col. Munro,
Liberal, was elected over Mr. Butler,
Conservative, by a majority of over
one thousand. This will give the Ross
Government a majority of three, and
they will now be able to carry on the
business of the session without any
trouble One pleasing feature of the
campaign was the absence of outside
Liberal organizers and workers. This is
as it should be. The bringing in of out-
side workers into a constituency has
been a weakness rather than a strength
to the Liberal party, and we are pleased
to note that the Liberals of North Ox-
ford gave the warning that they were
able to do the work of organization
themselves. We hope to see the Liberals
of every riding put their foot down on
outside help and when this done we will
have cleaner politics. When the party
workers in the riding, either Conservative
or Liberal, are not able to do the election
work it is a hard look out for the -party
that imports outside help. The Liberals
of East Huron have always been able to
do their own work and have always met
with success. Outside help has been sent
into West Huron and it is not necessary
for us to say here how it turned out.
By all means help the "hangers-on" out
of the different ridings.
DRINKING IN CANADA.
From the Manitoba Free Press.
Though there has been an increasing
consumption of spirits by the people of
Canada daring the last five years. the
total consumption in 1903 was barely a
third of what it was in 1874. It is inter-
esting to look back over the annual re-
turns of the Department of Inland Re-
-venue and observe the comparative con-
sumption per head of spirits, beer, and
wines, year by year. The record begins
with 1869, and is as follows:

The January Meetings Held at Kin -
tail and Auburn.
Conservatives have a habit of quarrel-
ing with vice -regal personages. They
threw stones at Lord Elgin in Montreal,
they threw mud at Lord Aberdeen in Ot-
tawa, now they are demanding the scrap
of Lien tenan t- Governor Clark of Ontario,
because he has not dismissed the Ross
Government which still has a majority
of two. -Montreal Herald.
The appointment of Mr. G. C. Creel -
man as President of the Ontario Agricul-
tural College at Guelph was made by the
Provincial Cabinet Friday afternoon.
Mr. Creelman will succeed Dr. James
Mills, who had been President for 25
years and who is retiring to become a
member of the Railway Commission
newly appointed by the Dominion Gov-
ernment. Mr. Creelman's duties will
commence on February 1. He will
assume the work at the same salary as
Dr. Mills, $2,000 and residence.
The Globe praises John D. Rockefel-
ler or his "munificence" in giving, at
various periods, $13,000,000 to Chicago
Univet sity. But Mr. Rockfeller did not
give this money -at least he did not pro-
vide it. The people who buy oil at the
exorbitant prices fixed by the head of the
of the Standard Oil Trust furnished the
funds. No credit is due the man who
gives to one that which he secures by
robbing another, or many others. To
praise the giving is to condone the crime
in acquiring and to set up false standards
for the rising generation. -Weekly Sun.
To those of us who have been shivering
with cold and wallowing in snow for
the past two months, it may be some
consolation to learn from so high au
authority as Dr. Kellogg, in an article in
Good Health,that cold, fresh air contains
more oxygen than warm air; that it
quickens the heart action and increases
the number of red corpuscles in the
blood. The vital fires like fires of wood
or coal, burn more brightly in cold
weather. Cold air aids in the discharge
of poisonous matters from the body, in-
creases the appetite, helps to assimilate
food and allays nervous irritation and
fatigue.
The December returns of the Provin-
cial Board of Health showed an almost
stationary death rate. Smallpox had
increased, but no deaths had resulted.
The number of cases of scarlet fever
decreased, but the deaths more than
doubled. Diphtheria was about station-
ary; whooping cough decreased. Ty-
phoid showed a falling off, and the deaths
from consumption were a little higher
than in the previous month,but the same
as the preceding December. The total
deaths from all causes in Ontario dur-
December were 2,141, or 12.8 per cent of
the population. For December, 1902,
the percentage was the same. For
November last the percentage was 12.17.

The West Huron Farmer' . Institute
held its regular January meetings at
Kintail and Auburn January 8th and
9th. The deputation consisted of T. R.
Race, of Mitchell, and W. C• Shearer, of
Bright.
THE KINTAIL MEETING.
Mr. Race was unable to attend at
Kiutail, but Mr. shearer was on hand
and proved himself equal to the occasion.
His address on "Corn and the Silo" was
listened to with great attention by the
large number of farmers who turned out
to the meeting. He advocated the silo as
a means of oaring corn in the best condi-
tion at least expense. Grow the kind of
corn that will mature best. Flint var-
ieties will not yield as much per acre as
the Dent varieties, Corn should follow
clover in rotation of crops. When put-
ting corn in silo see that the men mix
the leaves, stocks and cobs well. If
leaves are allowed to gather in one
place there is a danger of blue -mould-
ing. Mix straw with ensilage when
feeding. Farmers who use ensilage
are able to keep more cows. Ensilage,
if fed in small quantities, is good for
hot `s and sheep also.
Mr. Shearer also addressed he meet-
ing on "The Bacon Hog." In the first
place have a good pen to keep him in,
plenty of light and good ventilation,
floors dry and warm. Sow must be
quiet,of good producing stock ; be a
good milker. Cross with Berkshire sire
of good breeding. The best cross is
Berkshire sow with Yorkshire hog.
In the evening there was a good pro-
gram. Mr. Shearer gave au address on
"The Advantages of Farm Life." The
president, R. M. Young, also gave a
short history of the Farmers' Institute.
AUBURN
Mr. Race was able to be present and
gave an address on "The Orchard."
The farmers should endeavor to grow
better stock of all kinds, and also better
fruit of all kinds. Every farmer should
be a student of nature. Farmers should
grow fruit because of the great market
that is in the West for all kinds, especi-
ally apples. Orchards should be planted
and well looked after. Tree should be
planted 35 ft. in squarer or 30 ft. by 40
ft. Plant good shipping varieties, North-
ern spy, Greening, Baldwin, etc. Ben
Davis is not a good quality. Spraying
is very necessary, twice is sufficient.
let of March spray with bluestone and
lime; when bloom is about all gone
spray with 10 lbs. lime, 5 lbs. bluestone,
3 lbs. Paris green to barrel of water.
J. Snell, Loudesboro, gave a very
interesting and instriiative address on
his trip through the Western States
in behalf of the Leicester Sheep Breed-
ers' Association.
Mr. Shearer spoke on "How to Im-
prove and Maintain a Dairy Herd." He
said that every farmer should kuow just
how each cow in his herd is doing by
weighing her milk at least once a week.
Then weed out poor milkers. By so do-
ing the dairy herds of Ontario would be
greatly improved lend the output of but-
ter and cheese increased without increas-
ing the number of cows and without
extra food or labor. A dairy cow should
be of the dairy type, wedge-shaped,
udder well balanced and of good size.
teats properly placed and large enough.
A dairy cow should give from 7,000 to
10,000 pounds of milk in a season.
Farmers and dairymen should, endeavor
to keep flies off cows by using some of
the different fly sprays. One is coal oil,
gal.; crude petroleum, U. gal. ; crude
carbolic, cupful; fish oil, %gal. Dairy
calf should not be raised the same as
calf intended for beef. Feed dairy calf
on bulky, cheap feed, with an addition
of small grain ration. Breed at two
years. When she comes in to milk con-
tinue to milk for nine or ten months.
In the evening Mr. Race gave a talk
on beautifying the farm, and Mr.
Shearer on "Advantages of Farm Life."
