Mr. Justice Maclennan at Toronto on Saturday heard the appe:.l of Mr. Dad - ley Holmes, the defeated Conservative candidate at the Praviuoial election in West Huron, from the judgment of Judge Doyle, which gave the seat to Mr. M. G. Cameron, K 0 , by a major- ity of two. The smallness of the major- ity gave a somewhat keen interest to the legal contest, which was conducted by Mr. E. L. Dickiuson ot Goderieh for the appellant, and air. H. M. Mowat, K. C., and Mr. J. L. Killoran for Mr. Cam- eron. The Conservative, opened with au at- taok ou a ballot where the cress was al- most on liue between the fields of the two candidates. Daylight could scarce- ly be seen between the pencil strokes and the line, but the actual intersection was held to be above and the Judge held in good for Cameron. A more doubtful case was that which oeeured at the Holmesvflle poll, where the deputy returuiug ofb.aer seems to have torn off two ballots from the hook, which adhered together. He then made the necessary initials on the back of the under one, but the voter marked. the upper one for Holmes. Bath were put in the box together, but there became separated, and the marked ballot ap- peared at the close without the necess- ary initials. Mr. Mowat contended that the strict rule should be enforced be- cause in a similar ease a voter might discover the mistake and mark both for hie favorite, and, delivering them folded,• they would go into the box without de tection. Mr. Dickinson urged that the obvious intention of the voter should be given effect to. Judgment was reserved upon this and another doubtful case as well as upon the Goderieh case, where all the ballots bore numbers corresponding to those of the voters in the poll book This was held to be fatal in the recent Wentworth case, but it is contended that the Ont- ario act has a provision preventing the disfrauehicement of the voter because of mistakes of election officials. FIGHTING FOR THE SEAT. COST OF THE WAR. , (London Express.) it is obvious that a war conducted on a system of such magnitude as that in the East must be terribly costly. .From the latest official figures given out in Russia it appears that the Czar's Gov- ernment has spent, up to the end of 1904, over $300,000,000. This is, of course, exclusive of the loss represented by her deet which is out of action and by the artillery which has been captured by the Japanese. These two items have been estimated in rounds figures at $60,- 000,000, so that the cost of the war to Russia has been practically $7,500,000 per week since the war began. As regards the expenditure of the Japanese, the Mikado's financiers have calulated that to March 31 of this year the war will have cost, including ini- tial outlays. $288,000,000, or $3,000,000 a week. On this basis it will be seen that the war has cost in twelve months over $625,000,000. The total cost to this county of the South African war, it will he remembered, was estimated at $1,- 140,000,000. It is fairly safe to assume that for so long as the present struggle lasts the expenditure will continue on something like the same gigantic scale, draining the resources of both countries to the utmost.

Fifth Balt�r.oti•n r t?>If�l THE NEW PROVINCES. The autonomy of the proposed new Provinces would b r i n accords c e with public sentiment were the Separate School question, not involved. .although various opiuione have found their y into print, exception of no uncertain sound has been taken on account of the aspe. t of the Separate School questiQu. It is argued with a great deal of force that in establishing the pew provinces it should romaiu with the people therein to :say what kind of schools they shall have. As the people have to maintain the schools the force of the argument that they should have tba privilege of choos- ing for themselves is strikingly apparent. For the Dominion Government to deter- mine the educational policy of the new provinces, notwithstanding the precedent of 1875, is regarded as interfering with the rights of the people of the Provinces The schools of a Province should be reg. elated by the people of the Province. It should be their privilege to decide for themselves what class of schools they prefer. Coercion is a matter of such vital importance that it is certain to be responsible for more or less discord the effect of which on the national fabric is not pleasant to anticipate. If the people of the new Provinces have the right to determine their own educational policy, as it is contended they have under the constitution of our country, the question becomes one of provincial rights. NOTES AND COMMENTS. On Thursday last a protest was entered against the return of E. J. B. Pense, as Liberal member for Kingston for the Ontario Legislature. Canada's liquor bill is $54,586,191 per annum, or $9.87 1-2 per head of the popu- lation. Similarly prepared, the liquor bill of the United Kingdom is $36.29 per head, or $1,500,085,189; that of the United States is $1,935,827,421, or $24.75 per head, and that of Australia is $17 20, or $78.307,045. The population of Canada is taken at 5,528,847, and wheu divided into the expenditure gives $9,87 1-2 The Ontario Legislature has been callea to meet on Wednesday, March 22, and the members will be immediately notified of the date. This was decided at a meeting of the new cabinet Thurs- day afternoon. A short session is prob- able. Owing to the fact that the new Government has been so short a time in power, the chances are that it will intro- duce little, if any, important legislation at present. There is no seed of value to mankind that will sprout so quick)y and bear fruit as soon as the seed of advertising; bat to accomplish the best results it must be planted in fertile soil, and where it will get plenty of the sunshine of publicity. The time to sow is all the time, and the harvest may be gathered the year round. This is no more pro- ductive ground for this kind of Agricul- ure than the columns of a good home newspaper. The Weekly'Sun says: "The notion that the farmer is a hidepound partizan, and that independent thinkers aro con- fiaed to the cities, will not bear extiritina- tion. Oar largest centre of population is Toronto. How many times has its independent thinking resulted in the election of a Liberal? The strongest. Conservative will admit that in seventy- five years the Liberal party must ocoa• sionaily have been deserving of support; yet you could almost count on your fingers the number of Liberals who have been elected in that time in the city of , Toronto." Concrete examples of the abuse of the , franking system furnished a basis•for a i warm discission in the House of Com- 1 mons on Tuesday afternoon. It was shown that a Montreal dental supply house used some member's stamp for • t franking its advertising circulars from s Ottawa. The Postmaster -General there- upon, with the approval of the House, decided to require that each frank here- after be written and that stamped initials be not recognized. Then each side ac- cused the other of violating the franking privilege in sending ont political litera- ture between sessions. An interesting development of the debate was the fact that large quantities of literature had been sent oat last year by the Canadian Manufacturers' Association with the frank of Mr. George Taylor, the Con- servative Whip. Hon. R. W. Scott, Secretary of State and Government leader in the Senate, celebrated his 80th birthday on Friday. His fellow -Liberals of the Upper House marked the occasion by presenting hitn with a handsome loving cup. Mr. Scott, who is probably ane of the best preserved' men of his years in the country, has been intimately associated with the public affairs of Canada for forty-eight years. In 1871 he became Speaker of the Ontario Legislature, and served also as Commis- sioner of Crown Lands under the Pre- mierships of Blake and Mowat. In 1878 he joined the Mackenzie Adminisration at Ottawa, serving as Secretary of State till that Government's defeat in 1878, Since 1896 he has filled the same pert - folio in the Laurier Cabinet. In 1863 Mr. Scott ,prepared and carried through Parliament the Separate school lath of Ontar'id. Ada colleague of Hon. Alex. ander Mackenzie he carried through the Canaria Temperance Act, better known Mt the Seek Att. HEALTHY LUNGS. Depend Upon itch, Rod Blood -Poor Blood Means Weak Lungs and Patti. Cansurnp- tion. Every drop of blood in the body must go through the lungs, That is why the lungs are helped, and healed, and strengthened with the great blood-bnild- er, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. They fill the veins with pure, rich, red blood that gives health and vigor to weak lungs. That is the way Dr. Williams' Pink Pills brace the lungs to throw off bron- chitis and heavy colds, That is the way Dr. Williams' Pink Pills build up the lungs after an attack of la grippe or pneu- monia. That is the way Dr, Williams' Pink Pills have saved hundreds in Can- ada from consumptives' graves. No other medicine does this work so speedily and so well. Mrs. Jane A. Kennedy, Douglastown, Quo., says:—"My sister, a young and delioate girl, took a seve cold when about seventeen years : el, Nothing we did for her seemed to • any good, and we feared she was g.' • g in- to consumption. Often after a : d night I would get up early to see she had spit blood daring the night A friend strongly urged me to giv , er Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills, a • . • thin a month from the time she • • began their use, she had almost re •vered her health. Under the continued use of the Pills she is now well and strong. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills not only make weak lungs strong, but they cure all troubles arising from a poor or defic- ient blood supply, such as anaemia, indi- gestion, rheumatism, neuralgia, general weakness, St. Vitus deuce, headaches and backaches, kidney troubles, palpita- tion ot the heart, and the special secret ailments of young girls and women.

Sam. Burk, 1st con., Grey, sold 12 pigs to Messrs. Black & Barr that turned out good. They were 7 months old, of York and Tam cross and weighed 3,190 pounds At 51 cents they brought Mr, Bark $167.- 47. . John B. Smith has now possession of the farm 4th con., leased for some years by W. Cook, whose term had expired. Miss Belle Livingston is home from an extended stay in Detroit. Miss Mary Livingston, who was enjoying a holiday here, returned to Toronto on resumption of traffic on the railway. Jno. and Mrs. Vodden, who were visit- ing relatives and friends in Ethel locality for the past two months, left for their home at Boissevain, Manitoba, where they have spent the past three years. Mr. Vodden has prospered in the West we are pleased to hear and we wish him and his family continued prosperity. BRUSSELS. The house and fine half acre of land, corner of Queen and Princess streets, be- longing to Anthony Sample, has been sold to Jas. Sharpe, of Morris for the sum of $100C. Last week the household effects of Rev. Mr. Langford arrived and have been placed in the rectory. Mr. Lang- ford is here and conducted the inaugural services of his incumbency last Sunday. We are sorry to hear that our former townsman, James Oliver, has been quite ill during the past week at Thessalon, The probaiblities are that life may not be extended much longer as he is well up toward 90 years. We welcome P. J. McDonald and . family of Grey, to Brussels as residents. Mr. McDonald has rented his farm and will follow up his trade as cement build- er, etc. They have leased one of I. C. Richards' houses ou Thomas street. Abort one hundred thousand feet of ogs are in the Ament millyard and the saw mill will be set to work as soon as the weather moderates. After the out- ing is done here the Ariel mill -yard tock will be tackled. Some of the ma- chinery in the uew factory was set co' work last week and ran all right. Last week Mrs. T. Fletcher disposed of her store and residence attached to Jno. Hewitt, tonsorial artist, for the sum of $21.30. He gets immediate pos- session and will have a tip-top shop and` most comfortable home as Mrs. Fletcher went to a considerable expense last year in enlarging, modernizing and improving the premises and only sold on account of removing from Brussels. Mr. Hewitt bas sold the residence he purchased from' J. Leckie, William street, to A. 0, Dames, who will be removing to it.. Reflections of a Bachelbr. From the New York Press.

PRODUCTION AND CARE OF MILK Press pullgtia frpm the Qntarlp Col- lege by Prof. 1.1• H. Dean. Canadian dairymen: appear to have lessened their effurts in the production of winter mill(, consequently we have a s;•iortage and a period of high prices. Nut many are in a position to avail them- selves of the good prices now offered for dairy products of all kinds, and especial- ly for line butter. Essentials for Economical Prodictiou, 1. .Fresh cows. It is uusatisfactory truing to produce milk with a herd of cows most of which have been milking during the past summer. At least one- half of the cowa should freshen between e first of November and the last qday of February. 2. A moderately waren, clean, light well -ventilated stable is a great tad in the economical production of winter milk. Cold and badly -ventilated stables mean added cost for feed. 3. Cheap, succieleet food is needed. This is best got by providing corn silage, mangels, clover hay, and suitable meal. A very good ration for a cow, giving forty pounds of milk daily or making one and one-half to two pounds of butter per day is 30 to 40 ponuds corn silage, thirty pounds mongols, eight to ten pounds clover hay, four pounds bran, three pounds ground oats, and one lb oil -cake. If possible crit the hay, pulp the roots, and mix the bulky feed to- gether for a few hours before feeding. Add the meal to the bulky part at the time of feeding. The foregoing amounts may be divided into two portions and one half be gtveu to each cow night and morning. The cows should be fed reg- nlarly and each animal should be under close observatiou by the feeder in order to note her appetite, response in milk flow, and other conditions. If the feeder finds that the cow can profitably con- sume more thou eight lbs. of meal daily, then extra meal may be given. Careful feeders who weigh the milk from each cow will soon learn the limit of profitable feeding for each animal. • Care of the Milk. If the cow be kept clean and the milk be drawn in a cleanly manner into a clean pail by a clean person and be re- moved shortly after straining from the barn, there is no reason why win- ter milk should have a "cowy odor." This "cowy odor" is usually caused by filth which drops into the milk daring the milking, or is absorbed by the milk from the foul air in the stable. Milk should be removed from the stable before it cools to the temperature of the stable air; otherwise it will absorb taints rapidly. After straining the milk does not usually require any special cooling other than that which takes place from the cold air, if it be stirred occasionally to prevent the cream rising and to insure uniform cooling throughout the whole mass of milk, It is also necessary to prevent the milk freezing in order to ob- tain the best results. If sent to a winter creamery ; it should be delivered at least three times a week. If manufactured un the farm, it should be made into butter as soon as possible after it is drawn from the cow. The longer that mil'; is kept before being made into butter, the poorer will be the product. NEWS NOTES. South Outario Liberals will protest the election of Mr. Charles Calder to the Legislature. The bondholders have taken over the Kingston street railway, which has not paid of late. A protest against Hugh Kennedy, Lib- eral member for Port Arthur and Rainy River has been filed. Aleide Laurin of Alexandria was struck on the head during a game of hockey at Alaxville and killed, Wheat is being shipped back from Fort William to Manitoba, Where it commands a better price. Felix Doyle has been arrested on the charge of murdering his mother at Bur- ford and lodged, in Brantford jail, On Sunday last Wesley Methodist Church, Vancouver, subscribed over two thousand dollars to missionary expenses. Tho Globe's Ottawa correspondent • says Mr. Sifton will resign from the Cab- inet owing to his disagreement with the educational classes of the Northwest au- tonomy The 'fruit growers df the Niagara ' dis- trict have appointed a deputation to wait upon the Ontario Minister of Agriculure to formulate plans for fighting tlae San Jose scale and other evils this year.

The hog 'market manifested, perhaps, the greatest strength, advanoiug another ten cents per cwt., on top of a similar advance on Friday last, Lambs were ten cents per cwt. above last week's level, but sheep wore barely steady. Export cattle were firmer and in better demaud. and butchers maintained a firm tone, despite very heavy marketings, There was one complaiut, however, in regard to the later and that was as co quality, too many light, half -fat steers beiug offered. Such steers of quality as were found sold well, widthelrledium to good sorts were also disposed of with- out difficulty, There were none of the very high priced cattle offered that were here last week, and the best stragiht loads sold at about $4 30 per cwt. For the right Claes of butchers', however, buyers say they are willing to pay a higher figure than this, but, as stated above, there were none of these pickled cattle marketed. Exporters are quoted ten cents higher, with several sales of prime steers at five cents. Tne improvement here is due to better cables, thoneh reports from abroad were somewhat conflicting. All agreed, however that the English market was more favorable, though there was little animation in the market for Can- auiau cattle, reports saying that the domestic cattle aro being offered so ;pleutifully that buyers will take hold of the foreign stuff only at a concession, which naturally makes the local exporter fearful of losses ou his consignments. ' Stockers and feeders were a shade more plentiful, and they met a good de- mand, particularly short keeps. The latter sold up to $4,40 per cwt., which represents .a slight advance over last week's quotations. The following are the quotations: Exporters' cattle— Per 100 lbs. heavy $4 40 $5 00 Light 2 75 300 Bulls 3 25 4 00 do., light 2 75 3 00 Feeders— light, 800 pounds and up- wards 3 25 Stockers . 2 PO 900 lbs 2 00 Butchers'— Ohoice 4 00 Picked Medium 3 25 4 25 Bulls 2 25 Rough 2 25 LiMilkght stock cows ,ulls 200 b Hogs-- Best .3550005 Lights 5 0 00 Sheep— 05 Export 3 75 4 10 .

The increase in weight in steers, is clue to the amount of food that is digested and assimilated, and the greater the amount digested and assimi- lated, the greater the increase in weight. Iu close confinement the feed- ing ration lacks the variety of the open field, therefore, the food must have the " salt, pepper and gravy " added ; this is Clydesdale Stock Food. It stands to reason, that, like a human being, if the food is, made more palatable by the addition of the "salt, pepper and gravy" it will eat more of the thing it likes because " it makes the mouth water." This is "wise feeding." Furthermore, it will do them more good because it not only helps to digest the food, but after it is digested, it helps the blood to take up or assimilate a large proportion of it. This is where the profit comes in by putting on extra weight, giving them a nice, fat, smooth finish that brings top market price. The feeding period • can be shortened thirty days at least ; this is money saved. The increase over and above the ordinary feeding increase is, easily ;i.‘ of alb and over per day. You can stop feeding Clydesdale Stock Food at any time with- out injurious effects. If you find you cannot feed Clydesdale Stock Food at a profit your money will be cheerfully refunded by the dealer from whom you buy it. It is sold in your district by : Win. Gannett, Wingham.
