GOOD FINANCIAL_ STANDING.
The Province of Ontario ocoupies a
pia to at the head of civilized countries
or tastes iu the matter of financial stand-
ing, This ie a strong tribute to the
Vie four, care, efficieuoy and honesty of
the idmiuistrative methods that have
beef; employed by successive Liberal
Got, rnments. While the general
adlu, tatration of the Liberals has not
been .ixeelled for progressiveness and
ext i.ance the administration of the
An:woes of the province has been excep-
tionally capable. In the long course of a
generation there has been no charge of
the diversion or loss of a dollar through
the fault or action of the Government.
For over thirty years, with all the
services of the public not only adequately
but liberally provided for, the resources
so well husbanded that without the
imposition of a dollar of direct taxation,
as that term is understood,there isavery
oomfortable surplus of which nearly
three millions, or $2,952,272 is cash, in
the banks -not book-keeping dollars, but
good, cold cash, owned by the people of
the province of Ontario. The financial
standing of a state or an individual is the
true test of good business practice -of
sut•cess-and the Liberal Government
which has such a splendid record of
success to its credit is entitled to the con-
fidence of the people, who know that in
its hands the affairs of the province will
be managed capably and with enterprise
and that its financial interests, especially,
will be honestly and effectively looked
after. -Peterborough Examiner.
GROWTH OF SUGAR BEETS.
An important series of meetings is be-
ing' field through the County of Water-
loo, at which farmers are comparing
their experience in the growth of sugar
beets. At the first meeting at Contestogo,
Dr. Shuttleworth, agriculturist, said that
3500 acres were grown by 1647 farmers
for the Berlin factories. Waterloo
Connty produced 15,000 tons, while the
outside acreage, distributed over 17
counties was shipped from 132 stations
within 100 miles. He said the campaign
had been successful, something over
seven million pounds of granulated sugar
having been produced. This was mark-
eted as rapidly as manufactured.
At the' meeting at Woolwich a number
of farmers announced profits at $20 per
acre.
A meeting was subsequently held in
the Town of Waterloo, at which Dr.
Shuttleworth made some interesting
observations concerning the style of beet
most profitable to the grower. The
typically formed sugar beet is abont 12
inches long and its diameter at its widest
point is about one-third of its length,
free from side roots well tapered to the
tips. It was announced b?r Dr. Shuttle-
worth that the Ontario Sugar Co. had
decided to distribute free of charge 30
barrels of molasses among thirty stock
men, conditionally that the parties re-
ceiving the molasses would report in
writing to the company the results of
the feeding of molasses. The plan
adopted is to have each o`. these meetings
of the beet growers which are being held
throughout Waterloo County name at
least two stook men by whom the molas-
ses will be received and a report of the
feeding results made. J. C. Hnret and
George Wright of Conestogo, Tilman S.
Shantz and Ira Bauman of Waterloo,
August Janzen and Jacob B. Shartz of
Freeport were selected to make the feed-
ing tests with molasses.

Of Interest to Teachers.
la accordance with a resolution passed
in a aided meeting of the Executive
Committees of the East and West Huron
Teachers' Associations the Secretaries
requested the Ministers of Education to
state more explicitly the nature of the
entrance paper on written reading at the
next examination. The following is the
reply:
Toronto, Dec. 8th, 1904.
Dear Sirs; -I ata directed by the
Minister of Education to state in reply
to yonr letter of the 28th ult., that the
Entrance paper on Written Reading will
coesiet of a series of eight passages in
literature upon which questions will be
asked to determine the power of the
candidate to understand, interpret, and
appreciate literature as a whole. These
selections will be within the compre-
hension of the candidates. As a prepara-
tion for their work the candidates are
assumed to have studied literature as
provided for Part I of the examination.
The Written Reading paper will also
test the pupil's knowledge of the pas gages
selected for memorization.
Your obedient servant,
JOHN MILLAR,
Deputy Minister.

Live Stock Market,.
Toronto, Dec. 28 -The local live stock
market had a holiday aspect to -day,
trade being extremely quiet at the west-
ern yards. Dealers apparently are well
supplied with cattle, and there was an
exceedingly slim attendance of bnyears
at the yards. The demand was accord-
ingly light, but fortunately receipts, too,
were small, so that in the few deals re-
corded prices maintained a firm tone.
There was no special feature to the light
volume of business transacted in the
cattle section, except possibly that deal-
ers again found some cause for complaint
in the quality of the offerings, Receipts
were 17 loads, comprising 280 cattle, 517
sheep and lambs, 35 hogs and 4 calves.
The following are the quotations:
