Sir William Mulock, post -master. general, ie retiring from the Dominion Cabinet, primarily, it is said on ao. count of his health. Indications point strongly to Mr A B. A91esworth, K. C., as Sir William's successor. Prof. J. Ruddielt, Canadian dairy commissioner, has returned from his European visit. He reports the market for Cauedian cheese and butter as look- ing np well, and the cheese product as vastly improved. With improved tran- sportation and cold storage facilities Prof. Rnddiek sees a roseate future for the Canadian dairy products. Saturday morning at Osgoode Hall, Toronto, five election petitions against members of the Ontario Legislature were dismissed. They were: -North Norfolk, against David Tisdale. South Norfolk, petitiou and Dross -petition against W. A. Charlton. West Huron, petition and cross -petition against M. G. Cameron. South Ontario, against Chas. Calder. Blench:, petition and cross -peti- tion against Hou. Richard Iiaroourt. After having beeu in existence for ov- er ton years the Pioneer Farm at Dryden or the Pioneer Dairy Farm, as it is call- ed in more recent Government reports, is to be closed, and the property dispos- ed of. It has fulfilled its mission iu prov- ing that the Wabigoon country, in the Raiuy River district, is suitable for farm and dairy purposes, and can now be dis- posed of to advantage as the town of Dryden has spraug up immediately south of the farm. Mr. Endo �rin t "o aced � In 18 � I g Saun- ders, there were what now appears the enormous and unnecessary number of 6,185 licensess to sell spirituous and malt liquors in Ontario. For the liceuee year 1903.4 there were ouly 2,899 licenses in force. A decrease of 78 is shown in 1904 5, and for this year, so far as the preliminary reports to the Department go, there has beeu a further decrease of 166, the number issued for 1905 6 being 2,655. There niay be some alight change in these last figures when complete de- tails are iu, but there will be a reduc- tion of 150 licensee as compared with last year. The Canadian surplus on ordinary ao- count for the last fiscal year was $7,871, 320. This is shown by the financial statement for 1904.5, whioh was issued Friday. It is a little below the estimate • made by Hon. Mr. Fielding in his budget speech, wheu he predicted a surplus of about nine millions. The revenue last year was $7,180,626, which is half a million greater than the amount collected the year before. Hon. Mr. Fielding esti- mated the probable revenue at $71,250,- 000. The expenditure during the year was $68,309,305, against an estimate in the budget speech of $62,250,000, and an expenditure in the previous year of $55,- 612,232. The expenditure on capital ac- count amounted to $15,441,403, which is $4,392,200 more than in the previous year. Mr. Fielding's estimate was for a capital expenditure of $12,500,000. A page of the Farmer's Advocate has been taken np every week recently with a discussion on, "Why doesn't the farmer's son marry." One correspond- ent delivers his opinion in this wise: 'To my mind, a considerable amount of the trouble lies with the young farmer's father. Farmers, generally think their son's have a right to work for them, as long as the sons stay within working dis- tance of home. "Why, what better do you want than to stay right here, and you will have it all when I am gone." Who has not at sometime heard each ars - To be. -sure, you are growing old.

As for the remedy: When a young man arrives at the age of twenty one or there abouts, lot his father allow him a fair share of land, or money, as they shall both agree. It will be a great incentive to harder work. 11 he wants to keep on working for his father, let it not be altogether for love and expecta- tions, and by the time he is old enough to settle for life he will have something to settle on. There is at present in Pittsburg a Can- adian agency to encourage American emigration to Canada, and its exhibit at the Pittsburg Exposition and its piotare of the future in Canada is very enticing. Similar influences have been at work all through the United States and Europe, and we have no doubt that the showing of the Iowa census is in no email degree attributable to these efforts and to the fact that the promises made to Ameri- cans who were induced to take up lands iu Canada have been substantially re- deemed. There have been no agencies at work to induce Iowans to go to other States ; if numbers of them done so it has been on their own initiative. Since Canada has invited immigrants it is quite likely that a majority of the per- sons who left Iowa have gone to Canada. The man ready for a new move is more likely to go to where the prospect is in- viting and au invitation is extended, than to strike out somewhere for him- self. Many, of course, have gone to Ok- lahoma, but the growth of Oklahoma cannot account for all the loss of Iowa. -Pittsburg Chronicle -Telegraph. The drinkers and smokers of Canada last year contributed to the Dominion exchequer in customs and excise duties a sum which amounts to $3.09 for every man, woman and child in the Dominion. The returns of the Inland Revenue De- partment show the consumption of spirits last year to have been 1,031 gallons per head of population. This is an increase over the year before, when the consumption was 8.52 per capita. However, the consumption of spirits is slightly on the decrease, as in the 'seventies it was frequently above a gallon and a half per head, and in latter years it has generally run below a gallon. The consumption of beer is in- creasing. Last year it was 4,822 gallons per head, about the same as the year before. The average since sixty-nine has been 3.231 gallons. In the 'seven- ties the consumption averaged about two gallons per head. The wine con- sumption last year was .09 gallons per head, the average since 'sixty-nine is .122 gallons. Tobacco was last year consumed to extent of 2 686 pounds per head. The year before it was 2.765, and the average since 'sixty-nine 2.184 pounds. POTATO ROT (Press Bulletin from the Ontario Agricultur- al College. -By Prof. Harrison. The November 1904 crop bulletin of the Ontario Bureau of Iudustries stated that considerable rot had appeared on potatoes, especially where the crop was grown on heavy soils or on low lying land. The extent of the foes was var- iously estimated at from 20 to 50 per cent. This "soft" or "wet" rot is quite distinct from the so called 'Blight'. At first sight most of the potatoes appear to be sound but on examination the akin over certain areas is found to be discolored and on pressure the part beneath is soft. Ou breaking the akin, a turbid liquid can be easily pressed out. Thisliquid ma c con- tain gas bubbles and turn& black on ex- posure to air. The skin from affected parts easilyle pea away and the newly exposed flesh is watery and white bu soon discolors iii the air, becoming al- most black. Later, the flesh softens to a white, watery pulp and becomes highly offensive, with a putrefactive odor. Fi- nally the potato becomes a mass of black soft pulp. The stem of the potatoes may or mayt Inot be affected, in the former case the base of the stems becomes discolore d and black, then the leaves above wilt and the I entire stem falls over. If a piece of die- , eased stem is cut open, the fibrous strands - in it (the fibrovascular bundles) will be found brown to black in color, The cause of the "Blight," which par- ; ticularly affects the leaves, is a fungus and the Bordeaux mixture properly made and applied will hold this disease in i check, bat the wet or soft rot cannot be managed by aprayiug with this mixture, because the disease is present in the rootstand tabors and hence cannot be got at. The cause of the "Rot" disease is a bacterium, a minute rod about 1.20,- 000 of an inch long, which grows with great rapidity in the tissues of the potato land societes a substance which has a die- ! olving action on the cell walls which holds the starch and other contents of the cell in place, when these coll walls are destroyed the potlito beeoiries watery and soft. puterfaction sets in and the The Bacteriologioal Department of the tuber is destroyed. SUFFERING WOMEN Find Health and Strength in Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. "1 consider Dr. Williams Plnk Pills a most marvellous medicine," says Mrs. Louis Turoott, 665 Papineeu : street, Montreal, "They restored me to health and strength, when I was in a most hopeless condition, and almost despaired of recovery. My trouble began a few years ago, when I passed through a severe illness, from which I did not re- gain my accustomed health and strength, though I had the very best of care and treatment. I seemed to grow weaker every day. I was pale and emaciated, bad no appetite, could hardly go about and found my life almost a burden. It seemed as though my blood had turned to water, and my nerves seemed com- pletely shattered. All the time I was under medical treatment, but with no apparent benefit. One day a friend who called to see me, brought me some Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and asked me to take them. I did so, and after a couple of weeks I found my appetite improving, and took this as a sign that the pills were helping me, and I got another sup- ply, In a few weeks more the hange in my appearance and conditio was mar- vellous, and friends who opped in to see nie, hardly thought I as the satpe person. It was not mu longer until I was completely cur d. Iu fact felt better than I have do e for many years before. I am, the e ore, very happy to make known to al ailing women the fact that they can find new health through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills." Mrs. Tarcott's experience with this medicine is the same as thousands of others. Dr. Williams' Pink. Pills are the greatest euro for the ailments due to poor blood. All the weakness of anaemia; all the distress of indigestion; all the pas and aches of neuralgia, sciatica an -d rheumatism; all the misery and ill -health that women suffer from time to time, came from bad blood. And Dr, Williams' Pink Pills cure these troubles, because they actually make new, rich, health -giving blood. They don't act upon the bowels, they don't bother with mere symptoms; they go right to the root of the trouble and cure it through the blood. Bnt you must get the genuine -substitutes and tmitatione never cured anyone. See that the full name "Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People;" is printed on the wrapper around thebox. b 4.

Ontario Agricultural College, which has been studying the disease for the last year, would like to ascertain if the dis- ease in various parts of Ontario is simi- lar to the one with which it has been working, and w hich caused so much dam. age last year, and hence would like farm - ere troubled with this disease to mail an affected potato and state at the same time if they were troubled with the soft or wet rot last year and to what extent the rot is present in the present season's crop. MORRIS. Another of the pioneer residents of this township has passed over the bourne from whence no traveller returns. We refer to William Johnston, of the Gth concession who died on Tuesday of this week in his 83rd year. The funeral takes place this (Thursday) afternoon to the English Church cemetery at Blyth. An instance of the opposition which land owners make to having their pro- perty ant up with railroad rights of way, came up at Osgoode Ha11,Toronto,Thurs- day morning of last week. Mr, Robert John Brown, a farmer of Morris town- ship, Huron, is seeking to have continu- ed an injunction restraining Messrs. Til- den & Dawson, railway contractors on the Guelph & Goderich line, from tress - passing upon his farm. He states in af- fidavit, that the railway and himself have never agreed on the terms of any contract for sale of the six acres requir- ed. One morning recently, going out to view his broad acres, he found the con- struction gang, like a swarm of locusts, invading his domain, and immediately hastened to telephoue for legal advice. Hie motion is the result. The railway declares that there is a contract for pur- chase, and that three-quarters of the work has already, been done. The public examination and entertain- ment, held at S. S. No. 10, was most successful. The weather was perfect. Teachers from neighboring schools be- gan to arrive early in the forenoon, and numerons visitors came and had dinner at the school. Special rigs conveyed baskets to the school, which was in holi- day garb. The pupils acted in such a way, that no praises could be too high for them. Special features of the forenoon ses- sion were exhibitions of self-government and self management in school life. Ev- ery pupil was his own teacher; every pupil knew his place and seemed to be anxious to fill that place. Neatness, accuracy and rapidity were obtained by Mr. Strachan the teacher, in a most satisfactory way. In the afternoon the classes were tak- en by the visiting teachers. Those pre- sent were Misses McKee, Millegan, Hogg and Smilie, and Messrs Hartley, Gilles- pie, McDonald, Strachan and Rose. The eagerness, intelligence, and promptness of the pupils all testified to their thorough training. They showed ac• quaintance with current events, as well as book knowledge. Short speeches and addressee Closed the examination. The entertainment at night was also most successful. The school was crowd- ed to its utmost capacity. The talent which came mainly from Brussels, pre. FAMOUS PEOPLE BY FANNIE M. LOTHROP Photo. by Miss Ben-Yusuf, New York: AGNES C. LAUT A Successful Young Canadian Novelist Of the Canadian novelists who have won reputation and recognition during the past few years, nearly half of the number have been women, and in this list the splendid work of Miss Agnes C. Laut deserves high place. She was born in Winnipeg in 1872, and while in her junior year at the Mani- toba University her health proved so delicate that she was ordered to pack upher school books andout ago into the wild, free, fee, regenerating life of the Selltirks, to see what these noble mountains of Canada could do for her. There, in a life-giving atmosphere, where every breath is a natural tonic, she rode and walked her way to health, defying the decrees and prophecies of her physicians. She found in an Indian reservation located in the wilds of the mountains, material for her first book, "Lords of the North." Miss Laut was the first woman to invade the mining camps of the Cana- dian Rockies and to study the life there at close range. Her virile, graphic newspaper letters on this subject were not signed, and editors of mining journals into whose hands they chanced to. come, praised them, with enthus- iasm, and wondered why other Eastern writers did not picture mining life as it really was, like the man whose articles were appearing in the "Winni- peg Free Press" and other papers. To man in the rough, as Miss Laut found him in these camps, uncon- taminated by civilization, she pays high tribute when she says: "There I learned to appreciate the chivalry and courtesy of a class receiving small credit for such traits, and this, though I was entirely alone, without one instance of disrespect ect orannoyance." On her travels for literary material Miss Laut has had many interesting experiences, among them an eight weeks' cruise in a government mailboat along the coast northward from St. Johns. Sire made many later visits to the Selkirks, where the natural free- dom from the trammels of social convention appealed strongly to her. Beside her later books, "Heralds of Empire," "The Story of the Trapper" and the "Pathfinders of the e West," Miss Laut has written strong articles on politics and social questions; subjects rarely handled by women and still more rarely with the directness, clearness and force which seem to per- meate with vitality everything she writes. Her contributions to the "New York Sun, the New York "Evening Post," the "Review of Reviews" and the "Century" show a virility unusual from the pen of a woman so feminine and so unspoiled by success as Miss Laut.

The slight revival in the cattle trade at the latter end of last week seems to have been of a temporary character, for the improvement was not noticeable to- day in the city cattle market. There was, if anything, a slightly easier tone to the market generally. The trouble appears to be in the quality of cattle coming forward, complaints on this score being very loud and persistent. The run to -day was bat a light one in comparison with some recent markets, and on this account it might have been expected that the market would have shown a better tone than it did. There is still very little a:tivity in the export market, but this again is in part due to the fact that there are very few good ex• port cattle offering. • There is a good market still for feed- ders. Good quality feeders sold to -day as high as $3 75. The general run of prices for feeders is steady at $3.40 to $3.60 forsteeis, 1,000 to 1,200 pounds, and $2.25 to $2.50 for bulls, 1,100 to 1,250 pounds. There was an active market for choice butchers' cattle, but the complaint was that there were very few of the right class to be had. Prices were firm for the best butcher cattle, but for the poor stuff the market was off. Choicest butcher cattle were selling at $4 to $4,25; rough butcher cattle and cows were sell- ing down to $2. The sheep and lamb market is steady. Everything was sold and trade is fair.
