NOTES AND COMMENTS.
The Liberals of North Bruce wiltmeet
in Convection at Port Elgin on Septem-
ber 22nd. The object of the convention
isto select a candidate for the. House of
Commons,
Mr. A. A. Mahaffy, the Conservative
member for 1liuskoks., holds his seat iu
the Letistative Assembly. The petition
against his return at the bye•eleetion on
Oct. 27, last year, was dismissed Thurs
day afternoon after a hearing which ex-
tended over two days and it half.
A convention of the. Liberals of North
Perth has beeu called fur Tuesday, Sept.
20th, at Listowel, for the purpose of
nominating a caudidute for the Oi lane
Legislature. This prompt actiou ou the
part of the Liberal purty of the ridiug
would iudtuate that they are prepared
to enter at Once upon the catupsign
which will restore North Perth to the
Liberal column.
The wave ot Cauadiau prosperity still
runs high, lid people seem to have
plenty ut mouey and merchauts import
ranch goods. The customs receipts at
the Port of Toronto this August jumped
$237,705,80 ahead of the eorresjJoudlug
mouth ot lust year, the biggest jump in
colleotrousxu tie history of tue customs
house. 'l'out's the way the evidence of
prosperity eceumalates under a Liberal
Government.
A PIECE OF PORK .HISTORY.
The. Rise and Fall of the Huron Pack-
ing and Cold Storage Co.
The Toronto Star had au editorial in
a recent issue, bayed ou an iuterview
with Sir Thos. Shaughuessy, iu which
the opinion was expressed that the C. P.
R. would bebiu next year to build a lot
of branch flues in Western Ontario.
Among the rest is likely to be the branch
for which a charter was obtained at the
last session of parliament, from Hauover
to Lucknow, by way of Walkerton and
Teeswater. It was also suggested that
the Teeswater branch would be contin-
ued ou to Kincardine.
From the Clinton. New .Era.
In February, 1901, the farmers of Col.
borne township started an agitation to,
erect a co-operative port* exciting fac-
tory in Huron county, owing to the sue
cesswith which the Palmerston and
Harriston factories were then meeting.
The tewu councils of Goderich, Blyth
and Ciintou were approached and asked
to send delegatesto Smith's Hill, where
a large meetiug df farmers and represep•
tatives from Gtldorich, Clinton end
Blyth assembled it was fiunlly decided
to hold a meeting at Clinton iu April;
at this meeting the Bluth representa-
tives dropped out. It was decided to go
ahead and form a joint stock company
with a capital stock of $150,000, divided
into shares of ele0 each. The town coun-
cil desirous of femme?, further Indus
tries for the town, guaranteed to print
the prospectus and guarantee the eapen-
see of securing $20,000 worth of stuck,
providing the said expenses did not ex-
ceed $200. A committee from town was
appoiuted to get up the prospectus, and
these were seat broadcast over the coeur
ty. Canvassers were then put on The
road. Considerable success attended
their early efforts.
At a tweeting in November, 1901, it
was found that one canvasser alone had
secured $S000 iu small subscriptions of
$20 each; this was thought to be en-
couraging. At this meeting the pro-
moter of the Petrolea Packing Co. of-
fered to come iu and float the H. P. &
C. S. and to bring in English capital
and other propositious were made by
different parties. These were taken in-
to cousideration and the proposition of
Mr. W. R Beldeu, of Palmerston, was
finally accepted in January, 1902.
' His proposition was simply to insure
013,000 worth of subscriptions before
March 10th, 1902, and to sell $50,000
worth of stock in 10 months, for which
he was to secure a commission of five
per cent and 150 shares of paid-up stock
iu the company when the contract was
completed. He started a very vigorous
campaign, secured subscriptions and the
co-operation of several well-known
gentlemen in Godertch, Wingham, Exe-
ter and other points. From January
30th, 190e, until the end of March.
everyone will remember the roads were
simply impassable, and auy work iu
securing the subscriptions of farmers
was impossible. No one would .uuder-
take to solicit stock in the country, but
subscriptions in the town were secured
in a very generous Manner, as all the
citizens responded loyally to the appeal
to try and secure fu they industries for
the town. The original committee was
enlarged by the additiou of certain well
known business met o.f town, also from
Exeter to Winghanilis Efforts were made
to interest a large firfn in Glasgow ; can-
vassers were put one in the county in
i,1ay and June, when unfortunately at
that time the pork .packing factories
commenced to collapse; Harristou, Pal-
merston, Brantford, Peterborough, Ha-
gersville and Kincardine practically
went out of the business; Mr. Belden,
the organizer of the company, returned
to his farm and nothing was doing.
Early in the followiug spring the diree-
tors were served with la writ by Mr.
Belden claiming $340 commissions; thio
was defended by the 4irectors. The
case dragged its weary was through the
courts until May when a ljudgment by
consent was given, and Mr. ` elden finally
disposed of for $46, and leaf costs of $163.
The directors were then at liberty to
wind up the affairs of the company. At
this meeting it was decided to xnake a
call of six per cent. to defray the pre-
liminary expenses of promotion and
organization. The committee ,regret
success did not attend their efforts; they
have done a lot of hard work at con-
siderable loss of time and money, and
their only object was to accrue further
s industries and business for the town,
I and to secure a good home market for
the farmer's hogs.
There are 382,000,000 Chinese speaking
the sarne Iauguage, making Chinese the
most extensively spoken language. There
are so many dialects which are so entirely
different that they seem scarcely to be.
long to the same tongue. The inhabi-
tants of Mongolia and Tibet can barely
understand the dialect of the people of
Peking. Patting Ohiuese•aside, the
most spoken languages are as follows, in
millions:—English, 120; German, 70;
Russian 68; Spanish, 44; Portuguese, 32.
Rumor has it that Archie Campbell,
of West Toronto Junction, is likely to
be the next Speaker of the House ot
Commons. Archie Campbell is a strong
individuality, but he is not the material
out of which Speakers are made. The
Speaker needs to be a roan exceptionally
well informed in Parliamentary preco.
dnre, and this implies that he must be a
close student. This Archie Campbell is
not. He evidently knows his weakness,
and in an iuterview in The Toronto
World he disclaims all designs upon the
office, stating that at the same time his
opinion that the of:ice should go to Dr.
Macdonald, of Wingham. Dr. Macdon-
ald is Deputy Speaker already and na-
turally looks for promotion. If there is
a student in the House, it is Dr. Macdon-
ald, and if he happens to be re-els"cted it
is dollars to doughnuts that he will be
the next Speaker.—Walkerton Tele-
scope. East Huron electors will see to
it that Dr. Macdonald is re -erected at
the next general election.—Ed.

A BISCUIT MANUFACTURER
WITH A MISSION.
The Mooney Biscnit & Candy flo.,
Limited, of Stratford, Out., which is
now celebrating its first birthday, is an
example of the growth and progress of
Oauadian industries. Starting a little
over a year 'ago, with a plant which
should have fulfilled all demauds upon
it for some time to come, the compauy
has already bad to double it.
Of course there aro reasons ,for this,
outside of the natural growth of the Do-
minion. The chief reasons lies in the
biscuit theniselvvs, which are known to
the trade and the people as something
different and better than any other ,bis -
cult on the market.
Mooney's Perfection Cream Sodas, as
they are called, have firmly established
their reputation;, all over Canada. As
Mr. Mooney puts it, "They are the
buscuit that made all Canada cracker -
hungry." People who do not fancy the
ordinary soda biscuit, develop the biscuit
appetite once they have tasted Mooney's.
The Mooney idea is that" just as good"
is not good enough. They realized at
the start that their field lay in leaking a
biscuit that would be crisper, daintier
and better in every way than any other
—in short, they resolved that they would
make the best biscuits in Canada; tell
the people abort them through the news-
papers, then trust to the quality to place
them on every table in the land.
That they willsucceed is a foregone
conclusion. One has only to taste the
dointy, crisp deliciousness of Mooney's
Perfection Creaui Sodas to discover the
secret of their popularity.
All grocers have thein. packed in air-
tight, moisture -proof packages.

Or as a rule finds it very difficult to

evry, day or two for fresh pleat, es-
pecially as both turn and horses aro
apt to find their tiluo fully occupied.
Again the farmer's family could not
consume a beef animal before it
would spoil, so it is out of the ques-
tion to think of lalling his own. In
+order to make the use of fresh meat-
Possible
reatpossible its every farm nolle,. even
during summer months, the Live
Stock Commissioner, Ottawa, recom-
mends the more general eetablislunent
of beef rings, which have been suc-
cessfully carried on for years in
some sections of Canada.
Beef pings.—These rings arc not„
as the name might indicate, "trusts' r
for the control of the production and:
sale of beef, but are groups of farm-
ers who co-operate to supply their
tables With, fresh 'meat during tho
summer. The ring is usually compos-
ed of sixteen, twenty or twenty -fumy
'member's, although sometimes as
'funny as forty are enrolled. Each
member agrees to supply ono beef
animal during the summer, and in
order to give plenty of time for pre-
paration, the members draw lots the
previous winter to determine tho
order in which they shall contribute
animals. After the drawing members
may exchange numbers if they find
it mutually advantageous.. Two
small families may combine for one
Shale.
The Aninxil.—Tho regulations us-
ually provide that each member shall
supply a steer or heifer under three
years old, sound, healthy anti in
good condition, dressing from 400 to
500 pounds of beef,• and grain -fed for
at least six weeks previous to kill-
ing. If an animal is not up to the
standard it may be rejected and the
owner compelled to supply another,
or it may be accepted at a lower
valuation. The decision in such cas-
es is left to the secretary or a duly
appointed committee of inspection.
Killing and Distribution.—A butch-
er is employed to kill and cut up the,
animals, the owner retaining the
bead, heart, fat and hide. Tho
amount paid for killing and cutting
up a beast is usually $2 to $2.30,
with an extra dollar if the butcher
snakes delivery, which is not a. gen-
eral practice. Of course it is not
neceasal'y t9, employ a professional
butcher, but a plan is rqu,ircd who
can clo the work neatly end well, and
cut up the carcase along the usual
lines and in the sumo way each time.
The butchett provides a ]took for
each member and hangs thereon' the
portion for each family as the ani-
mal is cut up. Each member should
have two pleat bags with his Mahle
on, so that one of thele may always
be at the butcher shop ready to re-
ceive the weekly portion. In the case
of some rings each family gets only
one piece; in others a good piece of
the hind quarter and an inferior
piece' of the fore quarter, or vice
versa; in still others a member gets
a boiling piece, a roast a:ltl a piece
of steak each week. The various
cuts are numbered, and an accurate
record is kept by the butcher of the
quality and weight of beef received
by each member. In this way it is
possible to arrange for. each family
to receive approximately the smut
weight of meat, and the se me pro-
portion of valuable and cheap cuts
during the season. At the end of rho
summer the secretary of the organi-
zation furnishes ca -ch member with a.
statement of the year's operations,
compiled front the butcher's records.
As no two animals will have been of
the salve weight, small balances will
have to change hands in order to
equalize mattet's.lt, As a standard
price is always agreed upon. at the
beginning of the season; say five br
six cents per pound, there are no
disputes at the close. :Members who
have received more beef than they
supply pay for the difference at the
price agreed upon,; those whc have
put in more than they have received
ate paid in the sank way.
'J'he Adven.t()ges.—VJherever it has
been tried this system has given ex-
cellent results, ns is shown by the
fact that it is difficult to 'gain ad-
mission to the rims, as there is no
inclination to drop out. The farm-
ers' Rives and daughters are parti-
cularly well pleased, as the abun-
dance of fresh pleat at their com-
mand simplifies the question Of pro-'
viding suitable meals. Then the
farmers get their deet at the scutal
cost paying no more for the best ctits
than they wonld for the cheapest
they could buy its retail. 'Under the
operation of the beef ring each family
gets its portion Ivithit a few hours
after killing, so that there is little
difficulty in keeping the meat fresh.
fol' nearly a week. The usual method.
is to use the steak silt] roast first,
and put the boiling. piece into brine
or a refrigerator until needed.
A role Acres Well Tilled,
The hardest lesson to learn is that
a few acres well kept in a high state
of cultivation ere more profitable
than more acre's with some neglect,;
says Alva Agee in. National Btock
man, Ninety-nine farmers out of a
hundred will say that they believe
this, but many of us don't. We
don't mean to be untruthful, and
theoretically we uceept the fact that
the few acres and the best care pay,
but )racticall we are afraid to trust
