NOTES AND CONMENTS.
Senator Wark, the veteran of Can-
ada's Upper House, who is 101 years old,
has not been iu the enjoyment of good
health for some week past, and al.
though his mind is as clear as ever, he
seems to be gradually losing strength.
He has been confined to bed for several
days, but is without pain or ache, Al-
though he showed signs of inprovements
the fear that his long and useful life is
drawing to a close is expressed.
The Brooklyn Eagle tells that ten years
ago murders in the United States aver-
aged about five a day. Last year the
average was about fourteen. This is an
appalling record bat it is not all. Ten
years ago capital punishment was meted
out to one in each sixteen of the mur-
derers. Last year the proportion was
only one in seventy-two. The fewer
murderers punished, the more murders
committed is the logical conclusion.
The Canadian Pacific Railway Com-
pany notified the Minister of Trade and
Commerce of its intention to place the
new 20 -knot boats on the service between
Canada and the United Kingdom next
season, sailing via the St. Lawrence
in the summer and the maritime ports
in the winter. The mail contract with
the Albans expires the 1st of August
next, and the C.P R. leas intimated to
Government that it will bid when the
time comes for this service.
The worst defence of the increase of
the Dominion sessional indemnity from
$1,500 to $2,500 is that it will enable
each member of Parliament to pay with-
out loss to himself the contributions
he is by custom constrained to make to
all sorts of undertakings and organiz-
ations in hie constituency. As these
payments are a means of winning the
favor of the electors, and are therefore
of the nature of a bribe, the argument
sounds like a plea for a payment out of
the public chest to each member to
enable him to secure his re-eleotion and
to corrupt the electorate for that par
pose. -Toronto Globe.
LIGHTNING AND BARNS.
"Why are so many barns struck by
lightning these days?" was the query
put to Mr. F. L. Blake, astronomical
officer at the Toronto Observatory.
"I am not sure there are more than
there used to be," Mr. Blake replied.
"The impression that there are may be
due to greater publicity given to the oc-
currences.. You may have noticed that
more barns than houses are burned by
lightning. I think that is because the
barne generally contain hay and gram,
which are moist to a certain extent, and
moisture attracts lighting because it is
a good conductor, On the other hand
houses are dry, Lightning rods are a
good protection if they are numerous
enough to a have good ground connec-
tions."
"Is it of any value to have trees near
a barn?"
"Well, lightning usually strikes a tree
because it contain(, sap, which is mois-
ture. The denuding of the forests, I
think, may increase the danger from
lightning, as it makes the air drier.
Lightning is simply the aocumulation of
electricity in the air seeking the other
pole, and in doing so it comes through
the air to the earth through any con-
venient medium. The reason the coun-
try has worse thunderstorms than the
city is that in the oity every iron point
and, pinnaole reaching up is in ensibly
drawing the electricity out of the over-
charged air, and thus reducing the dan-
ger of an explosion."

All good Canadians glory in the pro.
grass of the West, but we Ontario people
need not forget that our own Province
is the portion of this broad Dominion
most favored by providence. The •
Western man is given to boasting of the
West, with half -contemptuous allusions
to the older Provinces, which grate up.
ouEastern Canadians. Ontario is still the
banner Province of Confederation, and
will continue to lead the procession
when the first baby to be born in either
of the new Proviuces of the West is
dying of old age.
The annual product of Ontario farms
is greater in value than the product of
all the other Provinces of the Dominion
rolled into one. Farm property in On-
tario le worth more than all the farm
property in the rest of the Dominion.
An acre of improved land in Ontario is
worth two acres in any .other Province,
on the average, and yields nearly three
times as mach money as the average
acre in vaunted Manitoba.
Ontario produces half the butter and
cheese of the Dominion, and more than
half the manufactured products. Her
annual forest products are greater than
those of Quebec, and she bas more
standing timber than Quebec or British
Columbia, or any State of the Union.
Ontario has the greatest nickle de-
posits in the world, and is richer in cop-
per and iron ore' than any other Prov•
ince.
Ontario has by no means come to the
end of her resources, but is entering upon
new paths of progress and developement.
She has millions of acres of arable Boil
which have been untouched by the plow
and will rival the prairie country as a
field for immigration and settlement.
Every day brings a fresh revelation of
Ontario's mineral wealth. The latest is
the discovery of cobalt deposits of incal-
culable value.
Ontario is not effete, but full of youth-
ful vigor and prepared to give the West
a race for supremacy.
A FARM IDYL.
THE OLD MAN
Who built those splendid buildings,
Where grain and hay are hid?
Who built that noble pig pen?
The old man did.
Who built those bullet-proof fences,
The glowing fields amid?
Who cleared that cedar slashing?
The old man did.
Who slew the deadly mustard
In happy spring crops hid?
Who threshed the rowdy ragweed?
The old man did.
Who built that splendid mansion -
No mortgage for a lid?
Who planted all that orchard?
The old man did.
He did it with affection;
It was his joy and pride ;
And when his work was finished
The old man died!
THE YOUNG MAN.
Who let the homestead crumble,
The lilac trees amid?
Who wrecked the old verandah?
The young man did!
Who let the caterpillars
With tents come in unbid,
To spoil the splendid orchard?
The young man did!
The noble big farm building,
From its foundations slid;
Who let it go to ruin?
The young man did I
Who let the rascal ragweed,
The fertile fields amid,
Destroy the wholsome clover?
The young man did!
Who with an awful mortgage
The noble acres hid?
And who destroyed the sugar bash?
The young man did!
His father built an honored name,
The countryside amid.
Who trailed, who dragged it in the dust?
The young man did!

The spring wheat in this eeotion, not-
withstanding that it promised good re-
turns, will turn ont very poorly, as the
rust has taken hold of it, and in some

BUTTER PRESERVATIVES.
Their Uses Condemned by Ontario
Agriculture Bulletin.
The Ontario Department of Agricul-
ture has issued a bulletin on "Butter
Preservatives," by 11, II. Dean, pro-
fessor of dairy husbandry, and Il. Har-
court, professor of chemistry. Ther
chief chemical Preservatives, the bul-
letin sayn, are boric or boracic acid
and borates, formalin or formaldehyde.
salicylic acid, sulphurous acid and sul-
philtes, fluolides, The result o1 an in-
vestigation by a British. Government
departmental committee le given, ra~
commending that the use of any- Pre-
servative or coloring matter in milk
be constituted an offence; that the only •
preservative which It shall be lawful•
to use in cream be boracic acid, or
mixtures of boracic acid and borax, in..;
amount not exceeding 0.26 per cent.;
that the only preeervative t0 to used
in butter and margarine be boracic
acid in proportions not exceeding 1.5
per cent.
The bulletin says that some people
may be injuriously affected by the
wee of boron preservatives, and that
it would be unwise to recommend their
use except in cases where the neces-
sity Is clearly ma.nifest. Milk and cream
do not come under this list, and it Is
not necessary to use preeervativec in
butter intended for home consump'ien.
Preservsttives do' not improve the but-
ter; they sirnpty preserve for a longer
time the flavor developed' in the fresh
article.
A number of experiments were made,
and the following conclusions reaohcd_
Powdered borax has given as good r. -
suite as the commercial preservatives;
1-4 of 1 per cent, of powdered borax
or of the commercial preservatives is
sufcient to hold the butter flavor;
the results indicated better keeping;
quality in the sweetcream butter than
in those lots made from ripened cream;
there was not much difference in the
keeping quality of the butter treated
with thee different preservatives, boracle
acid giving the poorest average and
commercial preservative No, 6 rather
the highest; all the boxes and Prints
of butter made during the summer
to which borax, boracic acid or corw-
mercial preservatives had been added
developed mould badly, while the sam-
ples which were salted were free front
mould; none of the preservatives Rave -
satisfactory results, although the flay -
or was very much better in those tote
as compared with the Tote treated with
salt alone; the use of milk or cream
preservatives not recommended; for the
home trade with proper means for pas-
teurizing the cream and cold storage
facilities facilitates preservatives oth-
er than salt, aro not needed; for the
export trade 1-2 of 1 per, cent. might
be used in some caees. salicylic acid,
sodium fluoride and formalin may not
be recommended as butter preserva-
tives. The first is more or less• harm-
ful, and gives an objectionable flavor to
butter, while the latter twoare con-
sidered quite harmful to the humane
system.
How to Break Up a Hen.
During late spring and summer
broody hens are numerous. Unless
wanted for aittei'e the habit should be
broken up at tht first signs, for by
quitting it early the hen will resume
laying much deeper.. .
One method often used is to put the

male birds' an excellent plan when
one has the surplus males.
Only a few have them, however, and
the device shown on this page will
prove satisfactory to all such. It is

to accommodate all the hone you expect
to break up at one lime. The slatted
bottom makes it necessary for the
birds to roost all the time, and if the
box is hung up as shown in the illus-
tration they will have to •pay some at-
tention to balancing themselves, boor
of which tend to do away with notions
of incubating. If hong in the tens the
birds can be quickly•and easily, handl-

Feeding Chicks.
Try feeding little chicks a dry ration
of cracked grain, Seeds, etc.. It is bet-
ter thdn johnnycake, corn dough or
mashes. .
Place a self feeding box of grain In
the coop so the • chicks can eat what
they want. There is little danger of
overfeeding growling stock on free
range.
