JOURNALISM AND PUBLIC LIFE.;
Cliristiau Guardian :-The editor oc-'
copies a more influential position than
ever, and the editorial not only reflects
public opinion, but is a Large factor in
making it. There is, too, except in tx•
tremely uarrow and partizan papers, I
every evideuce of a growing sense of re -1
spousebility. Writers say what they be-
lieve, and not always what the party
they support or the proprietor that sup- 1
ports them desire that they should say.
They say what seems to them should be!
said, and they are careful to get at
facts and present them fairly and
forcibly, and on the whole, tha weight
of the editorial writing in the press is 1
thrown nuequivocally on the side of 1
right and truth and purity. Many a!
wrong has been righted, and many an in-
justice prevented or punished because the
newspaper was tree to its duty. Many
a rascal has been ostracised, and many a
social ulcer exposed to the surgeon's ex-
tirpating scalped, because the man on
the editor's tripod held his position a
public trust for public service and disre-
garded all selfish considerations that
would have procured his silence,
ATTENDING FUNERALS.
The Brace Herald complains that
many Walkerton people drive half way
to the cemetery with a funeral and then
back and the editor remarks that when
his funeral happens he hopes the people
will go the whole way or keep out of the
procession. The point is well taken. It
is a poor mark of respect to show a de-
parted citizen to go out with a fnueral
and back out after driving. half a mile
There is a lot of humbug in towns and
villages in connection with funerals -
visitors come to offer sympathy and
count the cost of the coffin, to cheer the
widow and see if she ories hard or only
half hard and men who hitch np and
drive solemnly with the procession
through the streets, where their attet3-
dance may be publicly noted and then
make a circuit home by the bac , streets
when the outskirts of the town have
been reached. It is a heartless business,
and it .would. be better if people gait
shamming and went right ahead with
their business until their own time comes
There is not perhaps a place in Ontario
that does not need to be lifted back to
honest ground in its relation to funerals.
--Toronto Star.
FORM ULA PUBLISHED.
The J. C. Ayer Company, of Lowell,
Mass., the oldest, as it is one of the very
best, of the proprietary medicine firms,
has inaugurated a plan which promises
to be followed by others of the more
conservative of the medicine firms. It
is to place tbe exact formula from which
its remedies are made on every package.
There are 11 ingredients in the formula
of the well known family remedy, Ayer's
Sarsaparilla, and Dr. Stowell, the genet-
al manager of the company, has famish-
ed it to the press. He expresses the be-
lief that users of the remedy will not take
the formula to a drag store and have it
filled, as months are required in the
process of manufacture of the medicine.
The action of the Ayer company is a
long step in the direction of honesty and
candor in the direction of the affairs of
proprietary medicine concerns. -The
Evening Press, Jackson, Mich.

MR. MONK'S OPINION.
Mr. Monk is the leader of the Op-
position from Quebec province, and his
views on the School question are worthy
of cousideratiou, being as follows: -
Mr. F. D. Monk, who is opposed to
the Opposition amendment, proceeded
to give the reasons why he could not
support the amendment, and said be
b€lieved that when the educational
clauses had been fully looked into, the
people of Canada would not come to
guy conclusion, but that the effort of
Parliament was to create conditions
of equity and Justice, the practical re-
sult of which was one of very great
importance. Too much seriousness had
been attacbed to time matter. It was a
question upon which everyone might
have a different opinion from his neigh -
bur without offending the race and creed
of any one else.
Mr. Mouk resented the insinuation
which was frequently made in a part
of the press regarding clerical influence.
When any gentleman dared to uphold
the rights of the minority it was said
he was under the control of the clergy.
"There is no foundation for such an
accusation, and those who make it,
know not whereoff they speak," said
Mr. Monk, amid cheers. He continued:
"I came to this house to do my duty to
my country and to my constituents,
without being coutrolled by priest or
Bishop or anyone else. Those wbo make
the accusation cast upon as a libel which
we do not deserve. There is no voter
in the Dominion, who will be more apt
to resent clerical inferences or influence
that the electors of the Province of
Qaebec. So sensitive are the electors
ot Qaebec upon this point that if the
priests in my riding united together
to secure my election I believe I would
lose of my deposit. As a public man he
believed everybody to be in the same
position of independence that he was in
himself, and he would like to see any-
body, be he priest or Bishop, interfere
with him in the exercise of his functions
in the House.
BEAUTIFY YOUR TOWN.
Spring is coming, and towns and vil-
lages ulna have never learned the value
of beautifying their streets and brush-
ing up their general appearance should
give the matter some thought.
A town gets some kind of a reputation,
says the Toronto Star, and if its people
do not care what that reputation is, it is
not likely to be a very good one. One
man; enterprising and popular with his
fellow townsmen, cau interest the whole
town and insure it a good name. It is
not only what the munioipality will do
in the way of keeping tidy streets that
counts, but the individual householder,
by trimming np his property, by plant-
ing shrubs and flowers, and using fresh
paint, can set a whole street going. The
force of example is strong in such mat-
ters. And it is good business for the
town as a town. Every day in the year
strangers arrive in the town -many of
them have never seen the place before,
and quickly form their opinion of it.
Others have seen it before and quickly
decide whether it is going up hill or
down. Strangers go away and speak of
a place as they see it. The man who is
looking for a site for a factory may con-
sult, a commercial traveller, and the lat-
ter will praise one town and cry down
another -one is brisk and cheerful, the
other dull, untidy, wrapt in stand -still-
ness although the two places may be
quite equal in natural advantages. One
town has enough optimists in it to offset
the possimists. In the cheerful town
there is a fad for gardens, but more than
all there are those w ho have a passion
for fresh paint in the spring. One man
starts with his garden fence; it spreads
to his house, to other houses, to the store
fronts. The man who has a nicely
painted fence will not let the burdocks
hide it, so he trims the street in front of
his place, and the improvement is so
marked that others follow the example.
NOTES AND COMMENTS.
The number of the legal teaching days
in rural school will be 122 for the first
half year and 89 for the second half. In
urban schools the first half will con-
sist of 122 days and 80 for the second
half.
Servia appears to be the paradise of
old age, for with a population of under
1,500,000 she claims no fewer than 575
people who will never see 100years again,
Germany has 778 eentenatla ti, but her
population exceeds 55,000,000. Spain is
relatively more productive still, with 401;
England has but 146 and Scotland 46,
while for some obsonre reason, Denmark,
Sweden and Belgium can only produce
17 among them. The United States cen-
sus of 1300 showed 3504 persons of 100
years and npwards in a total population
of 75,33.4,575. Of these, however, only
837 were white, while 2553 were negroee,
111 Indians and 3 Mougolians. The re•
cord of the negro centenarians is not al-
ways unimpeachable. ---St. James Gas.

A fine tooth tomb.

Never again I'd roam;
Oh, wouldn't I like to see again
Your fine tooth comb!

THE HOME GARDEN.
Leading Varieties of Vegetables and
Methods of Cultivation.
At this season of the year the question
of farmers' gardens come up. Too
often the arrangements for the making
of the home garden are neglected till too
late, and especially is this so in regard to
the ordering of the seeds. It frequently
occurs that it is necessary to order sotne
varieties of seed from a distance and,
therefore, 15 is well to decide early what
varieties are to be planted. The follow-
ing list of varieties of vegetables has
been prepared with a view to aiding iu
the choice of kinds snttable for the home
garden, and very brief culture notes have
been appended:

two feet apart in the rows; appy
manure liberally and cultivate thor-
oughly.

Whistlin'
[New York Saul
When you're feolin' sad and lonely,
And you haven't got a yearn
For the city ways and people,
Which they never give a dern
For yon and yours, it's comfort
To hear the sweet and low
And desitatin' whistle
Of a tune you used to kuow-
Like "Home,Sweet Hotne," fer instance,
And you look up to the skies
And wonder if it's raisin',
'Cause you're damp around the eyes.
It ain't with shacks fer music,
The whistler don't know art;
But just the same the whistlin'
Gits close into your heart.
Somewhere the whistler's whistlin
Iu the racket and the roar -
Yon can only catch a little, •
But you want to hear some more;
And you find it as it wanders
From the bnsy noisy street,
Like an old friend from the country
That you're mighty glad to meet.
Er mebbe "Old Dan Tacker"
Is the time the whistler blows,
And your heels they git to knockin'
And your lonesome feeling goes,
And sets down 'way back yonder
To the time you used to dance,
And then went home with Mary
At daylight, in a trance.
Of course, it ain't the music
That they furnish from a stand
By orkestry musicians -
Bat you bet it beats the band.

Breeding and
Care of Swine
Our experience in the breeding and
care of swine bus long since led to the
conclusion that success in saving young
Pigs is much more certain by leaving
each sow in a separate pen at farrow-
ing time. And the sow sbould be al-
lowed to occupy this house long enough
to feel perfectly at home before tbe
pigs arrive, writes a Pennsylvania
farmer in National Stockman.
Of the different hinds v... have tried
there is none that has given as good
satisfaction as the one represented. It
is 6 by 8 feet. The right hand side is
three feet high, while the left side is
two and a half feet bigb. The comb of

the roof instead of being placed over
the center of the building is over a
point two and a half feet from the
right and three and a half feet front
the left side. This gives the larger
roof space at the low side of the build-
ing. Tins side of the roof is not at-
tached to the building except by a pair
of strong hinges . at the comb. The
roof may be made of any material de-
sirable. Tarred paper makes a very
good one. This one is roofed with
shingles, using light pine lathing.
The floor should be made of one and
a quarter or one and a half inch boards
and will answer to nail tbe lower end
of the weatherboarding of ench end to
A pair of runners made from 2 by 4
stringing answers the same purpose on
the sides. These runners should be
rounded at each end like those of a
sled and provision made to hitch to ei-
ther end of the building.
The roof being hinged makes it con-
venient in cleaning and sweeping out.
But there is a greater advantage than
this to be mentioned. A11 swine breed-
ers and farmers have noted the fact
that in early springtime we often have
pleasant sunshine and at the same
time severe winds. By raising the roof
to the proper height and supporting it
with a stick we can have full benefit
of the sunshine and at the same time
exclude the wind, and every one of ex-
perience knows that there is nothing
better for little pigs than sunshine.
Good Beef Maker*.
.A. moderately large paunch on a
healthy, vigorous steer should be re-
garded as a desirable indication. Mod-
erately fine bone is also an indication
of a good feeding quality, says Pro-
fessor Mumford of the Missouri ex-
periment station. On the contrary, a
coarse bone, with long body, large
head and general appearance of coarse-
ness,
ness, is always to be considered an
undesirable characteristic. Cattle pos-
sessing the desirable characteristics
mentioned above will fatten more
quickly and will distribute their flesh
on those portions of the body where
the highest priced cuts are located.
Sheen on the Farm.
Many a farmer hesitates to go into
the sheep business because he has
somehow got an idea that he must be
peculiarly fitted for the task of raising
or feeding sheep, says Wool •Markets
and Sheep. This is a mistake. Sheep
are just as hardy and just as easily
raised ns any other domestic animal.
Lille any other animal, they are sub-
ject to disease, but tvitlt proper care
and warm, dry quarters they are easily
kept healthy and hardy.
Corn For Horses.
Corn is a strong, healthy food and is
much appreciated by bard worked
horses, because it furnishes so much
energy. In the southern part of the
corn belt horses live almost wholly up-
on corn. Farther north, where oats
are the main crop, they subsist almost
entirely on the latter grain. A com-
bination Of the two will nsually prove
more economical and better than to
feed either so exclusively as is cus-
tomary.
Victoria Swine.
In general appenrauce the Victories
are strong and growthy and in the
typical specimens are quite symmet-
rical in outline. They are not quite so
large as the Berkshires nor do they
seem to, as yet, equal them in uni-
formity, They are white, while the
Berkshire is black with white points.
The originator once deelared that he
had "produced the model hog, guaran-
teed to reproduce itself white." -Farm
and Live Stock Journal.
Good Houma Pas-.
Every i'armer will concede that it
posts no more to feed and care for a
good horse or good animas of any kind
than a cheap and unsalable scrub, yet
many will go on breeding and raising
such Horses as will only sell at plug
prices when they could as easily and
cheaply raise an animal that will sell
readily at any time atter maturity and
at a profitable price. --American Culti-
vator.
