The buoyancy of °auatie's customs. revenue continues to be well maintain- ed, The receipts for the month of Aug- ust were $4,615,951, and for the two menthe ending yesterday $6,178.380, showing increases of $$02926 and $764,. 678 reapeetivoly. Probably the lapse was like that ex- hibited, when, after the Conservatives had shouted against kion. Mr. Ayles- worth praotising is the courts, they winked at Hon. Mr, Hanna doing the same thing, before an appointee of the Government to which. he belongs.— Chatham News. Nearly $2,800,000 was taken from the Dominion Treasury during the year end- ing with June last, and pard out in the form of bauntiee to various manufao- tu es. Manufactures t ' r nfa eso uonand steel were the chief beneficiaries of the great gift enterprise. They received a little more than $2,400,000 out of the lot. The pro- ducers of petroleum ranked second on the favored Iist, these receiving $291,000. To owners of lead mines upwards of $90,000 was paid, while manufacturers of twine obtained a trifle over $15,000. It is hinted that representatives of large Canadian railway corporations are engaged throughout India in spreading information concerning this country, its climate and resources, aad that the pass- ages of all Indians who will consent to come to this country after having passed a medical examination are paid by the railways agents, for it is certain that the immigrants now here could never save in a long lifetime, from the mean wage of ten cents a day, a sum sufficient to pay their way to Vancouver. —Vancouver World. The passage given below forms part of the presidental address of J. Lookie Wilson at the annual meeting of the Farmers' Association held in Toronto this week. He said:—"Dishonest and fraudulent methods in business life, bribery and graft in public affairs and the lax administration of justice in the courts has become so prevalent that the people have evidently ceased to wonder that suck things should be. Individuals and corporations are bodly and saocess- fully following methods and praotices in acquiring wealth which, if followed a few genre ago, would have landed them in the penitentiary in short order," Here is a cure of hay fever that may not come too late for the susceptible victim of that fell malady. The Hos- pital relates that "a gentleman who was a sufferer from hay fever happened one summer to spend two hours in the re- frigerator hold of a steamer." This mired him and he had no farther attack that Summer. As a remedy "cold stor- age" has objections, bat there are vie- tims who would even be cured at the expense of a frozen foot or fingers, and at any rate the idea is refreshing. Those •of us who enjoy novelty, andalways the "last thing" might rush for the refrig- erator the instant we begin to feel that hay sneezing coming on.—Boston Her- ald. "In Cuba, Canadians have an increas- ing stake" says the Monetary Times, "and now revolution is there too. But unless all signs fail, there is no cause for alarm. Revolutions vary greatly; that now is of a very different nature from the one which shook the Island from Santiago to Pimar del Rio ten years ago. The great mass of the people are for peace at any price.

It is figured this way : Wheat, 91,813,900 bnabela, at 68 cents, $62,483,450; oata, 80,854,680 bushels, at 28 Banti, $t2,630,310, barley, 17,785,790 bushels, at 30 cents, $5,320,- 870, Total, $90,303,142. When to this amount is added the re- turn from live stook, dairy produce, vegetables, etc , it is safe to say that the total will pass $100,000,000. CLEANLINESS IN ITS RELATION TO THE PRODUCTION OF CHEESE AND BUTTER To the Editor of the TItes: — Daar Sir,— We hear a great deal from time to time as to the necessity for well equipp- ed factories and creameries if we are toin- aure oheese and butter of a high quality. The subjects of transportation and the grading of cheese is also receiving more or less attention from dairymen, espeoi ally salesmen and dealers. There is one point, however, which is very apt to be aver looked by many in their efforts to improve the quality of our cheese and butter. Would not much of the trouble now experienced praotioalty disappear if all of our producers took proper Dare of the raw material? It is safe to state that if milk were prodnoed under clean- ly conditions and proper care taken of it until it reached the place of manufac- ture, nine out of ten of the oases in which the product is now inferior would disappear. The Provincial Department of Agri. culture has in conjunction with the Dairymen's Associations parried on an aggressive campaign of dairy instruction and the results have been gratifying. The Instructors have not, however, been able to give much personal attention to the producer with a view to inducing him to take proper care of his milk. Many personal visits have been made by the Instruotora, but at the best only a small percentage of the producers can be reached in this way. Leaflets have bee t gotten out setting forth the objects of instruction and giving instructions as to production and care of milk. These have been distributed to a limited ex. tent; but the importance of the platter demands that the attention of the pro. dater be called to the approved methods time and again, until he practices the methods recommended. We have pleasure in enclosing a copy of the leaflet referred to, and would be glad to have your paper draw the atten- tion of the producer to the necessity for absolute cleanliness and provision for cooling the milk. There is no one point in connection with the production of cheese and butter which is more worthy of attention. In fact, if all milk were produced under proper conditions, and pooled to 50 or 60 degrees, or even 65 de- grees, and kept at that point until it reached the place of manuiaoture, much of the trouble which now results from tainted milk and that in which the acid forming bacteria have become salve, would be avoided. We trust that you will be able to give prominence in your paper to the direc- tions for caring for milk, if not to above notes and "Objects of instruction." Yours truly, Geo A Purmaae, Director of Dairy Instruction. Toronto, Aug 80, 1906.. Game Protection in Canada. Prince Edward Island is the latest of the Canadian provinces to adopt modern methods of game protection. Its recent statute, enacted this year, fixes the sea• son, provides for a $15 non-resident license, creates the otiice of game in - vector, incorporates an auxiliary body, the Prince Edwer.I Island Game Pro. tootion Association, to co-operate rn the enforcement of game laws, and prohi- bits export. This law and a statute passed by Qaebeo, which requires that all shipments of game be tagged, fills fgaps in export laws that have heretofore existed, so that now every state in the ' Union and practically every province in Canada places more or less restriction an the shipment of game beyond its boundaries. Quebec has snbttituted a uniform $10 non-resident license for its graded sys. stem. Canada alto ebtabliehed two new game preserver, one of 16 tections in the Province of Alberta, about 86 toilets northeast of Edmonton, the other on the Gaspe peninsula in Quebec. The latter, to be known as the Gespesian Preeeri'e, has an area of about 2500 square miter, thus taking rank with the Laurentidea lTationel Park in Quebeo 2510 Vinare miles),the q AI gongain Park in Oatario (about 2000 sgnart miles), and the Yellowstone.

She Had Nerve. A young woman entered a doctor's shop where advice and prescriptions were given free to persons in poor cir- cumstances. Having been furnished with a prescription for medicine, which she was told could be bought at a neigh- boring chemist's, she asked what the medicine would be likely to cost. "About two shillings," said the doctor. "Could ye give me the money?" she asked. "One moment; let me see your prescription again," the doctor said, and, taking the paper, he scored out the name of one of the ingredients. "What was that for?" was the next question. "Well, you see," answered the doctor, "I bad something in for the nerves, but I see you don't need it." An Absent -Minded Pro essor, A story is told of an absent-minded pro- fessor who was dining at the country house of a friend, When dessert, which took the form of cherries, was served the other gaeats were ranch amused to see the Professor carefully dipping each cherry into a glass of water and drying it before eating. Notia ing the suppress- ed mirth and divining the cause, the Pro- tenor ro•feasor made a learned speech on the tiny germs and microbes with which the skins of fruits are covered, and warned his hearers against eating raw fruits without previously washing them. A few mo. ments atter, having relapsed in a brown study, the Professor meohanically seized, the glass in which the cherries had been immersed and drank at one draught the water and --the microbe*. Air in the Soft. "Ofricials of the United States De- partment of Agriculture are," says an American journal, "much interested in experiments that have recently been made with the view of bringing Out cer- tain facts as to the circulation of air in the soil. It appears that considerable oxygen is absorbed by the roots of plahts and that the supply of this oxygen is maintained by air penetrating through the minute interstices of thesoil. When the ground is covered with water, or when the molecule, cr gains, of toll are dissolved in water and packed into- an imtlermeable mass, then air cannot dr. onlate below the surface, and vegeta- tion suffers in consequence. The ex- perinlonts referred to show that lime or salt ht the toil ablidiftea the earthy naolecrrles and pre*rents their being dia. solved and packed by the action of the Water; hence, the importance Of lime in keeping the ground open and per- meable for the cirouletion of both air and rain water:' ',L'h9 aanne object can, however, be more effectively attained by thorough draining, efficient cultivation, and keep- ing the surfs,* roil wieit supplied with decaying Vegetable matter. A TEDIOUS SERMON. Bishop MoVickar, of Providenoe, I., said of a tedious sermon: "There was s little old church an the outckirts of Philadelphia that bad an old clergyman who was noted fox the dryness of his sermons, '•It is said that one Sunday morning the old entleman preaohed a sermon so amazingly long and dull that the con- gregation dimipisbed one by one until only the janitor and himself were lett. "But the olergyman, apparently un- consoious of all this, kept right on until the janitor, seeing ne prospect of relief, finally gave in also, and handing up the xeys to the minister, said: '"I'm off. You can look up tee church when you're through,' " *Ave Stook Markets. TORONTO, SEPT. 4,—The run at the City Cattle Market to -day was 53 loads, with 708 head of cattle, 1,467 sheep an d lambs, 4000 hogs, and 180 calves. There was but a very light run at the City Cattle Market to -day, farmers and cattle buyers alike all being"at the Fair.'.' A few of the butchers were oo hand, and ander a good demand for choice butcher cattle, prices were from 15 to 20c higher than last week's prices. There is also a better market for ex- port than for the past few weeks, and prices are showing a firmer tendency, though there are no high prices toreeord as yet. The season, however, has cpm, mewed, and some good markets may be looked for. One or two loads of export- ers of pretty fair quality sold to -day at from $4,75to $4 85, and one was reported sold at close to the $5 mark. The market forstockers and feeders was very quiet, owing to the light run, though there is said to be a fair demand for stockers of good quality. Sheep and lambs are lower. Hogs took another atep down to -day to $6 40 for the beat. The following are the quotations: Exporters' cattle-- Per 100 lbs.
