ROSS GOVERNMENT AND AGRI-
CULTURE.
Conspicuous is the record of progress
of he Ross Government in the excellent
I2nt tagement of the agricultural depart-
meat. Giant strides have been made
in teetering and developing the great
y:iltural pursuit. All branches of
the tadustry have received the most
carerul attentiou with decidedly practi-
eat ..:tion as the invariable rule.
(� editions have been watched very
c1ue••,y and whenever some new course
was seemed advisable to bring about a
bet tee state of affairs, it has been under
taken with a will and a thorough know-
ledge ot whoa the result aimed at should
be. Agriculture has been placed ou a
more scientific basis and while labor has,
to a very great extent, been sunplifi d,
the revenue has been increased. By
liberal grunts, and in various other ways,
a keener interest has been awakened iu
the posibilities offered by agriculture.
The scopes ot the Ontario agriculturist
has been broadened by methods iutro-
duced by the Government, which have
placed Cauadiau products pre-eminently
in the lead iu the foreign markets. The
Government has at all times hastened to
the assistance of the Outerio farmer
with experiments that promised to be
the meaus of bettering his condition.
The Agricaltural administration is one
which every Ontario farmer
has found beneficial. To it must be
given the credit tor opening up many
avenues that have led to prosperity.
The dairying branch has received very
importaut attention. There has been a
wonderful increase in the number of
cheese factories and creameries and the
quantities of cheese and butter produced
indicating that the advancement has
been of a solid nature. That a great
interest has been created in scientific
methods of agriculture, is evidenced by
the great increase in the number of
Farmers' and Women's Institutes. The
Government has the supervision of the
following institutions for farmers;
Three dairy schools -Guelph, King-
ston and Strathroy-attended by 2,240
pereaus.
Pioneer Farm in Algoma, one hun-
dred and fifty miles west of Port Ar-
thut'y for the purpose of testing the soil
and climate of that portion of New
Ontario.
Experimental fruit stations located
at fifteen different points in the .Pro-
vince.
Agricultural and Horticultural Societ-
ies. 479.
Fourteen different eseociations, such
as Fruit, Growers', Dairymen and
Breeders' Associations of different
kinds.
The Ontario Agricultural College,
Guelph, with an attendance in 1903 of
728 students.
The Sir William Macdonald Insti-
tute, Guelph, for instruction in Domestic
science, opened this year, and attended
by one hundred and seven farmers'
daughters.
The above makes it clear that the
Government has not been idle in re•
spect to agricniture, but conditions
emphasize the importance of the work
widertuken by the Governmeut in this
direction.
day, was Thursday appointed General
Secretary of new Reform Association of
Outwit:, The new official will not do
any organizing which the ridings them-
selves can do. Hie chief duty will be
the superintending o1 the oeutral office
work.
There are cashdeposits in• the bauks
of Toronto to the credit of the Pro-
vincial Treasury amounting to $2,952,-
272. This was the statement made by
Premier Ross, who is also. Provincial
Treasurer, to the newspaper men who
called on him after Thursday's Cabinet
meeting. The amount standing to the
credit of the Province on the 31st of
December last year was $1,994,679, and
the surplus of assets on that date, after
deducting all liabilities, was $2.549.164.
It is quite evident, therefore, that when
the books are closed at the end of the
year, the Government will again be able
to point to a Proviuce not only free of
debt but with a handsome earplug.
The following is the vote polled in the
County Council election in 1903 in Divi
anon No, 7: -

The fees paid to the Province for the
incorporation of companies will be about
$102,000 for 1904, or about $18,000 less
than in 1903. The reason for the fall-
ing off is the absence of large mining
companies incorporated.
There are thirty-six Liberals and two
Conservatives in Nova Scotia Legisla-
ture. That Province did not elect a
single Conservative to the Dominion
House. From the Quebec Legislature
the Conservative party bas about disap-
peared altogether. What's the matter
with the party anyway?
With the payments that the Ontario
Government will make to various Coun-
ty Councils as the result of work done
this year, the amount distribated from
the Provincial Treasury in aiding in the
construction of good roads will amount
to about $250,000, or a quarter of the
million dollar fund which was originally
set apart for that purpose.

Catarrhal Deafuess is Caused
By a thickening of the liniug mem-
brane of the middle ear owing to a pro-
longed inflammation from catarrhal
germs. The only cure is fragrant heal-
iug Catarrhozone one which is carried by
the air you breathe to the remotest parts
of the throat and ear; it reaches the
source of the trouble and cures deafness
permanently. Every sufferer from im-
paired bearing should use Catarrhozone
which has effected many wonderful
cures. Y:,n simply breathe its healing
medicated vapor, -very easy and pleas-
ant. Do this and your hearing will be
restored. Catarrhozone never tails; it is
guaranteed. Two months treatment for
$1.00 at druggists.
idve Steck Markets.
Toronto, Dec. 21 -Trade at the western
yards was active again to day, the de-
mand for butchers' cattle monopolizing
the attention of dealers. There was an
exceedingly brisk ingairy for fat, useful
animals, and prices maintained a very
firm tone. There were no fancy cattle
on the market, such as composed the
bulk of the arrivals early last week,
and the high prices of that period were
not reached, though one sale was re-
ported at 41src.
