At a meetiug of the National Association for the Prevention of Consumption, held in Loudon recently, Sir William Broadbent said: "Expectoration caused disease to spread more than anythiug else. If the whole of the expectoratiou could be de- stroyed at one moment disease would be stamped out. Spitting must be stopped by public opinion and by pun- ishment." It should not require a police regulation or by-law to induce people to refrain from expectoration on the side- walk. tully a million. - Mr. Fielding has so strengthened the natioual credit by holding down debt in- creases that new loans eau be secured at very low rates of interest. The actual sum paid in interest on the public debt was only $8,892,380 in the last fiscal year, compared with $10,615,663 in 1897. The Government again reiterates its intention to adopt a system of maaunum and minimum duties, retaining the Bri- tish preference as a sort of "family con- cession" below the minimum rate of duty at which foreign goods will come in. A commission of the Cabinet will make in- quiry into trade conditions throughout the country and frame the new tariff in time for presentation to Parliament next year. The increased production of gold is causing some anxiety to financiers. Have you got more than your share of late? It appears that the Yukon and Transvaal are threatening congestion. For the twelve months ending with June, 1904, the average monthly output of the Transvaal was valued at approximately $6,000,000. During that time the aver- age number of men employed was about 12,000 whites and 61,379 Kaffirs The output for February of this year was $7,700,000, produced by a force of 15,162 whites, 90,178 native blacks and 31,424 Chinamen. This is at the rate of about $70 per man per month. Last year the rate was $82 per man. Revenue from the succession duties tax in Ontario, shows a big iucrease for the half year just ended. The total re- ceipts to Jane 30th, 1905, aggregate $322,803 66, as compared with an income of $231,127.94 for the same period last year. The increase therefore is $91,675.- 72. From the month of Jane just closed, the revenue amounted to $62,848 61. This does not include any of the big estates -such as the Gooderham or Suth- erland legacies -which have recently be- come liable to the tax bat which have not yet been wound up. This was one of the sources of revenue which Mr. Whitney, while in opposition, threaten- ed to cut off. But he is in power now and conditions have changed. -Brant- ford Expositor. TWENTY YERS A60. (From THE WtNOHAM TIMES of Friday, July 10th, 1885 ) BLUEVALE. On Domiuion day a large crowd as- sembled here to witness the slugging base ball match between the Hurons, of Fordwich and Bluevale base ball slab. The game opened by the visiting team going to bat and retiring with one run. In their first inniugs Bluevale made three rune. Iu the next three innings the visiting team did not succeed in add- ing anything to their score, while the Bluevale boys piled up 9 runs, making the game on the 4th innings 12 to 1 in favor of the home team. In the next four innings the Hurons scored one more run, while Bluevale made 18, the game on the eight innings being 30 to 2 in favor of the home team. Ia the last Tunings the Fordwich boys made 3 more runs, but Blnevale did not go to bat on the 9th innings, the game closing with a score of 30 to 5 in favor of Bluevale with an innings to spare. Mr. Gibson of Fordwich, umpired the game to the satisfaction of all, and the time occupied min• No important tariff changes were an- nounced. South African wines will come in at the same rate as French light wines, 25 cents a gallon. A duty will be imposed of 60 cents per 100 pounds on rolled oats. Dry white lead and white lead more heavily taxed, the former be- ing increased from 5 to 30 per cent., the latter from 25 to 35 per cent. Other minor changes are; 25 per cent. ad valor- em imposed on bags containing cement. The settlers' effects enactment was made more strict to exclude goods for sale or manufacturing plants. Beet sugar and alluvial gold mining machinery will be continued on the fres list till July 1, 1906. Molasses importations from the Rritish West Indies. via Newfoundland, are to be treated as direct importations. An effort is to be made to get rid of American silver current in Canada by paying the banks three-eighths of one per cent. to collect it. The Finance De- partment will then ship it back to the United States. The Bible society reports a circulation of 5,857,654 copies for the year ending March 31st. This total is an increase of 160,284 copies on the previous issue and it represents 2.603 tons of Scriptures in balk. About two-fifths of the issues are despatched from the Bible house in Lon- don, while three-fifths are printed and distributed from other countries. Tne society's record output last year, for one (ley from the Bible house alone, was in June, 1904, when 81 cases were despatch- ed representing a total of 9 tone of Scrip- tures in 28 different languages. The re- cord output for one month last year was 48 tons of Scriptures which were des- patched in 440 cases and 70 shipments; this represented 116,370 books in 114 different languages. The record of Eng- lish Scriptures sent out last year was 22 tons in three days. SOME FACTS FROM THE BUDGET Hon. W. S. Fielding made his budget speech last week, and the debate Wan closed before midnight of the same day. This is probably the record for a short budget debate in the history of the Do- minion. The GIobe in summarizing the Minister's statement, presents the fol- lowing as the main points it disclosed: Hon. W. S. Fielding has been Finance Minister of Canada for over nine years.

Johnston, let b 3 Patterson 1. f 3 J. Gardner, r. f . 2 T. Johnston, 3rd b 3 J. J. Messer, s. s 3 W. Stewart, o. f 4 The presence of whitish blotches or streaks in butter has been a source of trouble to a great many buttermakers, these blemishes often and unaccountably appearing after a few hours in the butter otherwise good in color, texture and taste, and invariably having the effect of knocking the top off the market price, and stamping the maker as the producer of a second-rate article. The eye as well as the palate must be appealed to in all things eatable, and in batter, streaks and blotches by no means add to the ap- pearance of the solid golden, appetizing article demanded by the payer of A I prices. Daring the past year a series of exper• iments were undertaken at the New York Experiment Station, with a view to finding out the cause of the difficulty, and the results of the investigation have recently been published in Bulletin No. 263 issued by that Station. The theory held by many that the blotching is due to unequal distribution of the salt was proved to be incorrect, the true cause being found in the action of the salt on a certain casein compound (casein lactate) in the buttermilk still re- maining in the butter, an action which causes the compound to harden and lo- calize, and so appear, in a short time, as streaks and blotches. To get rid of the trouble, the only thing necessary was found to get rid of every partiole of the buttermilk, and to this end both churn- ing and washing must 'be done in the most effective way, The following is the method, as given in the bulletin: "The churning should be stopped when the granules are about the size of rice grains, and should be done preferably at a temperature of 50 to 55 degrees F. And after the buttermilk has been drawn from the granules they are treated with an amount of water at 35 to 45 degrees F., about equal to the buttermilk drawn off, the churn being rotated a few times to ensure complete contact, after which the water is drawn off and the granules are similarly treated a second time. The grannies are then allowed to drain. The final drainage water from the granules should be clear. After this the salting and working are carried out in the usual way.'' A. point worth noting is that, "If granules are pea -size or Iarger, or if they are soft through churning at too high a temperature, or through washing with water above 50 degrees F., and do tend to unite into lurape, thorough washing ie exceedingly difficult, if not impossible." This danger, then must be strictly guarded against, by churning at the right temperature, stopping at'the right time, and ming plenty of water at a sufficient degree of ooldnees for washing When not one, but is11 of those precut - Lions are observed, little farther trouble will be experienced in the way of streaky butter.

The Advocate says: Blyth court of revision was held last Friday evening and dissolved without a motion of ad- journment, consequently the sitting will he 144 hours the longest by far of any ever recorded iu the annale of the Do- minion. Parliament at one time dur- ing the present session sat for 57 hours without an adjournment, but that does not compare with Blyth Court of Re• vision.

BOARD OF HEALTH. A a meeting of the Board of Health for the town of Wingham held on the 7th inst., the chief was ordered to in- spect the town as soon as possible, particularly the back yards, wells, cellars and other places suspected of'un- cleanness. As a result of this investiga- tion we expect to hear of many of oar citizens having to pay dearly for neg- lect of duty in this important matter. The public Health Act makes it impera- tive that every well should be cleaned eat before the lst day of July in each year, and that no waste vegetable, or other filthy matter of any kind shall be allowed to remain or accumelate on the premises, and that all putrid and decay- ing animal or vegetable matter must be removed from all cellars and buildings before the fifteenth day of May in each year. Complaints are now before the Board of violations of the by-law in re- ference to pigs and pig pens. This by- law says that no pigs shall be kept in the municipality except in pens one hundred feet from any house, and these pens are to be cleansed and dis- infected every day. The members of the Board are respectively :-Walter Scott, chairman representing Ward No. 4; John Neelands, Mayor, Ward No. 1; Wm. Elliott, Ward No. 2; Wm. Kerr, Ward No. 3; J. B. Ferguson, Secretary, The Rev. Mr. McDowell, the new pastor of the Minnie street Methodist church, preached his inaugural sermons on Sunday last.

GUARD AGAINST GERMS Keep Well by Strengthening the Stomach in Summer With Mi-o-na In time of war the most responsibility rests upon the guard. If he is lacking in vigilance, disaster can easily overtake the army. With the individual life, the stomach may well represent the "guard" against sickness. If it is .tong and vigilant, any disease germs that may be swallowed will be neutralized by the digestives I juices, or else driven from the system. Everyone with weak digestion should rise Mi-o-ua at this season and so streng- then the stomach that disease germs can have no effect whatever. This remark- able remedy puts the whole digestive system in so healthy, clean and sweet a state the fermentation of the food Oen- not exist, that any disease germs which may enter the stomach wilt be destroy- ed, and food will be so readily assimil- ated that a rapid and healthy increase in flesh will result. Nervousness and sleeplessnees come more often from a weak stomach than from any other canes; headache, bttek- ache, and rheumati i pains are directly caused by an acid condition of the stomach. Mi•o-na Corrects all this, prevents the formation of abide, and nervousness, kidney trouble, or rheumat- ism, is quickly cared. Ask Walton McKibbotl to show you the guarantee under which he sells Mi-o•na. Price 60 cents. It coats nothing unless it cures. DR. MACDONALD, Centre Street Wingham, Ontario. SPLIT LOG DRAG. ft, Missouri Farmer's Device For Improve Ing 'Dirt Roads--SImple and Inez/. pensive Tool Easily Made. How to maintain rood dirt roads at nominal expense was explained recent- ly to the highway officials and repre- sr:nlative farmers of the principal bad roads section of Iowa. D. Ward King, Who is a Missouri farmer and good. roads agitator, assumed leadership of an educational campaign in that State and made hundreds of enthusiastic converts to the practical method of road maintenance which he advocates, and his work is found to result in a marked betterment of Iowa's very bad roads, says the Breeder's Gazette. Mr. King's system of road improv- ment is simple acid inexpensive. Good dirt roads can be secured and main- tained by the use of a simple device which he calls the split log drag. It can be made of a log about eight feet long and twelve Inches in diameter; split In the middle, or, of two pieces of sawed oak two inches by eight Inches. Any kind of light timber is suitable. Box elder is sometimes used. Dry red elm is exce4ilent. Although not essen- tial, a log should be selected that will split fairly straight.

Connect the Blabs, facing the same direction, with. three stakes or rounded three inches by three inches about three and a halt feet long, or long enough to leave three feet of space between the slabs after the connecting pieces have been driv- en into 'the holes. Two or three planks can be nailed to these pieces, affording a place for the driver to stand and at the same time strengthening the slab. - Use a chain or strong rope to afford attachment for the doubletree. Sup- posing the drag to face west and as- suming that a chain is used, fasten ones end of the chain to or around the left hand outside connecting brace, letting the chain pass over the top of the slab. If attache l to the face of the slab near the left hand end the chain would in- terfere with -the movement of dirt to- ward that end of the drag. The drag is run at an angle of about 5 degrees, so that dirt can be thrown toward one side. The other end of the chain may be fastened to -the face of the front slab near where the right hand con- necting piece comes through, as at that point of the drag the presence of the chain would not cut any figure with the movement of earth toward the oth- er end. Yet it would probably be bet- ter to secure the chain to the drag in the same way at each end. If the ends of the chain pass over the top edge of the front slab and are fastened one to each outside cross piece the draft will be slightly downward, thereby holding the bottom edge of the front slab closer to the ground. Mr. Xing recommends shoeing about three feet of the bottom edge (right hand side) of the front slab. A piece of iron or steel of the right length, about three inches wide and a half inch thick, with one edge sharp or beveled, can be used for the purpose, Put it on securely, letting the sharp edge project about an inch below the edge Of the slab. This sharp iron shoe will enable the drag better to shave the sur- face and cut down the hard ridges- which idgeswhich are usually met with on roads that have not been kept smooth. A. good drag will cost from alinost noth- ing to ;2.50, depending on the material and construction, and last five or ten years.. Anybody can make one. The work can be done in the winter when the surface is a little soft, but in the spring, summer and autumn the treatment is more effective. Use the drag soon after each hard rain while the surface dirt is in a puddled con- dition. The drag will smear the soft mud over the top of the road bed in it. sort of layer. With sunshine, wind and travel this layer will become hair& Another dragging will put on another layer to make the road still harder, smoother and more impervious to rain. In a year or two a hide or shield la put on the road that you can hardly tear up with a pick. Each dragging thickens and solidifies this covering. A few draggings will make the roads smooth and improve them wonderful- ly, but it takes a few years of intelli- gent dragging to put them in tiptop condition. If the work is kept up, re- version of the roads to their original condition is impossible. Every time the drag is used they increase in hard- ness and lasting qualities. Mr. King says a road dragged often and at the right time w-il acquire such athick, compact, hard Casing that it will turn water like a steel roof. It costs about 72.40 a mile per year. according to the figures compiled by an Iowa farmer who has employed it with complete success to maintain roads according to the King system. Feeding Young Chicks. Chickens do not require any food the first twenty-four hours, hut pure fresh water should be within their reach at all times, so arranged that they can drink without getting wet, writes E. G. Wyckoff in American Agriculturist. The brooder floor can be covered with a thin layer of cut clover. A handful of bright chick grit or very stale bread slightly moistened with milk can be given. The food of the chicks is prac- tically the same as that furnished the adult stock, being' prepared, of course, in a form suitable to their smaller size. ALEX. KELLY, Wingham, Ont.
