"Don't spit on the sidewalk." At a

the Prevention of Consumption, held in
Loudon recently, Sir William Broadbent
said: "Expectoration caused disease to

whole of the expectoratiou could be de-
stroyed at one moment disease would be

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-

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:

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.

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,

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.

How to maintain rood dirt roads at

roads agitator, assumed leadership of
an educational campaign in that State
and made hundreds of enthusiastic
converts to the practical method of

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

1'BE FPLIT LOG DRAG.
As shown in the drawing. 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.
