NOTES AND COMMENTS.
It is understood that at the next ses-
;tion of Parliament, the Postmaster -
General will propose a revision of the
existing domestic rates on newspapers
and periodicals. At present these pay
a quarter of a cent a pound within a
radius of 300 miles of the office of publi-
cation and half a cent a pound to more
distant parts of the Dominion. This
willprobably ba replaced by a flat rate
so as to remove what has been objected
to as a tax on provincialism.
The Stratford Beason in reviewing the
new postal law effecting newspapers,
which went into effect on May 8th, says:
"Whilst Tho Beacon is not seriously
effected by the change, it involving
only an extra charge of $135 per annum,
we realize that publishers iu the border
towns, and those who issue publications
of the class of "Rod and Gun," of
Woodstock, are badly hit, but we would
be willing to stand for a considerably
larger loss than have our government
submit longer to such an unfair ar-
rangement as that which has bean can-
celled. Canada should not be bull -dozed
into accepting a 200 to 1 postal load and
we have sufficient confidence in the pub-
lishers of Canada that they will not de.
mand such a sacrifice even at the ex-
pense of a considerable temporary loss
to them individually.
A precedent is created in the polities
of this Province by the return of the
$2,000 check forwarded to T, W. Croth-
ers and Mr. Crothers' refusal to accept
more than $192, his actual out-of-pocket
expenses, for services as Chairman of
the Ontario School Book Commission.
The renunciation of $2,000 of the coun-
try's money would excite no coniment
in Japan. Canadian patriotism does not
make,sacritces for the sake of country.
The willingness of Mr. Crothers to sacri-
fice his time to faithful public duty,
without hope of fee or reward, is so un-
usual that it it is almost recognized as a
joke.. . T. W. Crothers has made it
impostible for commissioners appointed
by the Ontario Government to take pay
for public work. The general acceptance
of the Crothers precedent will probably
stop any wild rush of applicants for
places on Ontario Government commis-
sions. -Toronto Telegram.
As there seems to be a considerable
degree of uncertainty in the minds of
many as to the amendments to the
school law made daring the recent
session of the Legislature, in so far as
these amendments relate to the salaries
of teachers in rural sections, says the
Goderich Signal, the following will be
of interest as an explanation of the
changes that have been made. The
compulsory minimum clause, based on
assessed values, which was passed at the
session of 1906, and which created so
much antagonism, has been dropped.
Townships are now required to make a
grant of $300 to each school section em-
ploying one teacher and $200 additional
where an assistant is employed, and it
is provided that the whole amount of
the township grant shall be applied to
the payment of the teaoher's salary.
In addition to this, it is, provided under
the new law that there shall be paid
from the Provincial treasury, 40 per
cent. of the amount of the salary paid
in any rural school section in excess of
$300 and not exceeding $600. Still fur-
ther, an additional allowance will be
made from the Provincial treasury
where teachers are employed who hold
certificates above third-class. The
changes mean that a much larger sum
will be paid out of the funds of the
Province towards the maintenance of
rural schools.

THE STORY OF COAL IN CANADA
How Production in the Dominion Has.
Increased --Where our coal is
Mined and Marketed.
Coal is au interesting subject is many
Rays at the present time. What with
the train blockade and strikes, the black
fuel is the cause of mach anxiety, Coal,
too, owiug to the disappearance of wood
is fast assuming a greater place in the
economy of Canadian life. Twenty
years ago, says the Winnipeg Free Press
in the course of an interesting article,
the per capita consumption of coal in
the Dominion was about three quarters
of a ton per annum; in 1890 it exceeded
slightly one ton, and novrit is consider-
ably over two tons per capita per annum.
The development of the Canadian coal
mines has just about kept pace with this
increasing demand. For a long time
Nova Sootia was the only ooal•produc-
ing province. Then British Columbia
entered the field. Thirty years ago, in
1877, Nova Scotia produced 880,215 tons
and the. Pacific province 156,455. With
two such widely separated sources of
supply it is no wonder that Central Can-
ada looked to other forms of supply.
Ten years later, however, in 1887, the
West had begun to produce coal, the
output that year being: Nova Scotia,
1,868,596; British Columbia, 486,142;
Manitoba and the territories 74,152 tons.
Today in spite of the great increase in
the output of the western and British
Columbia mines, little Nova Scotia atilt
leads. The latest fi ,Pres available are
those for 1903 give the production as
follows: Nova Scotia 5,683,338 tons;
British Columbia, 1,360,216 tons; Mani-
toba and Territories, 614,455 tons; New
Brunswick, 16,000 tons.
The total production of coal in Can-
ada for the year 1906 was 9,916,177 tons.
The protection of the coal mining in-
dustry has attracted necessarily the at-
tention of tariff legislators. In 1870 and
1871 there was a duty on anthracite, but
it was abolished, to be re-established in
. 1879. The national polioy tariff provid-
ed a duty on all coal coming into the
country, but in 1888 another change
was made, anthracite being put upon
the free lists. There still remains, how-
ever, a duty of 53 cents per ton on bitu-
minous coal, which last year brought in
a revenue of not less than $2,379,000.
That the tariff legislation has had any
considerable influence in hastening the
development of the coal mines of Can-
ada is not apparent from the official
statistics. The exploitation of the source
of wealth seems to have depended a
great deal more on conditions of settle-
ment and transportation,
The imports of coal to Canada for 1906
are: anthracite, 2,200,853 tons; bitumin.
ons 4,495,550.
During last year the consumption of
coal in Canada amounted to 14,685,800
tons.
In 1906 Canada exported 1,927,680 tons
of coal.
At the present time our foreign coal
trade is practically one of exchange
with the United States.
Just as Montreal is the meeting point
of the Nova Sootiit with the Pennsyl-
vania bituminous coal, so Winnipeg
marks roughly .the western limit of the
field' supplied from the Pennsylvania
mines. Here Pennsylvania coal disputes
the ground with Alberta and British
Columbia coal, and still holds the lion's
share of the market. West of Winni-
peg the ground is being occupied more
and more by the output of the western
mines, and naturally the native product
may predominate in the markets of
Winnipeg.

"BLUE DEVILS"
Get Rld of Indigestion and Things
Will Look Bright and Joyous.
Everything looks gloomy and dark to
the person suffering with indigestion.
Until the prescription known as Mi-o-
na stomach tablets was put up in popu-
lar form as a safe and effective cure for
siok headache, indigestion and stomach
troubles, the "blue devils" made every-
thing look dark, gloomy and depressing.
After a few days use of Mi-o•na the
sick headaches, dizzy feeling, drowsi-
ness, bad taste in the month, distress
after eating -all these symptoms of a
weak stomach -will disappear, and with
perfect digestion there will be a joyous
and beautiful outlook.
Mi-o•ns stomach tablets are sold only
in a neat metal box convenient for the
vest pocket and cost 50 cents. Walton
McKibbon has seen so many cures made
by Mi-o-na stomach tablets that he giv-
es a.gnarantee with every box that the
money will be refunded if the remedy
fails to give satisfaction.

In summer fowls need more room
than they do in winter. In all cases
where it is permissable, they should
have plenty of room for their accommo-
dations, that they may never be crowded
night nor day.
According to a new law in Iowa, says
the Kansas Farmer, eggs are now sold
by weight in plane of by the dozen, and
it a person sells bad eegs he is snbject
to punishment. This is all right for it
it not any more justifiable to sell bad
eggs than to sell bad meat, or spoiled
goods of any kind.
When confined fowls have no oppor•
tunity of gratifying their desire in the
choice of food, says the Kansas Farmer,
there are thtee points to be observed in
feeding, which are, that nitrogenous
food is necessary; that too much green
food must not be given; and that fowls
must not be made too fat.
Kidney Disease on the increase.
Recent reports from the New York
Board of Health show that kidney dis-
ease is greatly ou the increase. Brighta'
disease as well as the other dreadfully
painful forms of kidney disease
can always be prevented and usual-
ly cured by the use of Dr Chase's Kid-
ney•Liver Pills which bave a direct and
oombined infineuoe on the liver and
kidneys."
HOUSE OF REFUGE MATTERS.
The House of Refuge committee of
the county council met on Friday, May
3rd, and found all the departments clean
and tidy. The resignation of the keeper
was considered, and it was deci' ed to
advertise at once for keeper and matron,
so that applications may be planed be-
fore the council' at the June meeting.
The inspector was instructed to employ
a mechanic to put in a proper support in
the new building where a settling ap
pears, and to purchase cows so that the
supply of milk will be sufficient. The
inspector and the physician were in-
structed to employ a dentist, if necess-
ary, to repair the teeth of two women
inmates, and to pi'olide Mrs. Ilsio and
Mrs. Brown, two aged women with
suitable rocking chairs', The county
solicitor was instructed to attend to the.
transfer of properties owned by Thos.
Strong, of Hensall, and Ed. Hill of Exe-
ter, and the inspector was instructed to
make a bill of charges for the mainten-
ance of Mrs. Robinson and her daughter,
oharging $5 per week in each case, to-
gether with cost of medical attendance
and any other expenses in conneoticn
with these parties, and present such bill
to the proper party for /settlement.

THE MARITAL UNREST.
In the time of our great-grandmothers
and grandmothers nobody thought of
dissolving the marriage tie. A woman's
career was marriage, and having once
embarked upon it she never considered
going back.
But in these days debate is rampant,
and so many pereons.have "considered
going beck" that one wonders what
slight reciprocal affection induced tkem
ever to advance at all. Probsbly it was
not affection, but attraction, which de-
pends upon outward and visible signs
rather than inward and spiritual graces,
and can cause the most unlikely and un-
blended characters to find each other ir-
resistibly charming. And while they
are finding each other charming, marri•
age is so easy! Since the beginning of
the world, admonition and advice have
done very little toward the curbing of
passion, and obstacles have only served
to excite it.
And it is not too mach to say that
most young people, it left to form their
I own characters, with little in the way of
responsibility forced upon them and a
great deal in the way of comfort . and
pleasure at their right hand, will form
rather self.indulgent characters, which,
rushing rapturously into matrimony as
it were into the eeirenth heaven, are ex-
ceedingly chagrined to find how mnoh
self-denial is demanded of them when'
they get there, Nobody has explained
to them what Marriage, and the com-
panionship of it really Means, nor what
a fund of tact and tenderness, forbear-
anbe, goodwill and gentle judgment
one mast have to tide over the hard
placer Chet ootne, at times, to even the
moot loving couples. -Caroline Deer in

THE SEPARATOR.
4
If Properly Handled It Will Prove a
Splendid Investment.
Every progressive dairyman should
have a hand separator. You can then.
give the calves fresh sweet skim milk,
It is expensive to feed calves on whole
milk, especially when you can sell the
butter for 25 cents per pound and sup.
ply the fat taken from the milk by oil-
meal or oil cake at a few cents per
pound.
From the other side, the separator is
certainly a splendid investment as a.
labor saver. It is also valuable as a
means of getting all the butter fat from
the milk. Get a good standard ma-
chine, but don't get a very small sizer
unless you have ouly a very few cows.
For ten to twelve cows we would cer-
tainly recommend a 450 to 650 pound
per hour separator.
Cleaning the Machine.
Wash the machine every time it is
used. Don't believe the agent who
tells you that you can wash his wa-
chiue by simply dipping the parts ins
warm water. Any one who has han-
dled vessels in which milk has been •
kept knows that that is not so. Use it
brush, not a dish rag, to wash each
piece of the separator; then pour boil-
ing hat water over the Parts and allow
to dry.
Use plenty of oil on the bearings, and
thus greatly increase the life of the
machine. Fasten the separator se-
curely to the floor, take three minutes
to speed it up, heat up the bowl with a.
little lukewarm water before separat-
ing, then flush out with a little clean.
water after the milk has run through
to get all the cream. -Professor W. J.

Aroostook Dairying.
I always Zvash my cows' udders witit
clean water and wipe them dry, milk-
ing with dry hands. We strain the
milk through cheesecloth, folded twice,
and use a separator. We like that be-
cause it saves a lot of milk cans or
pans to care for, and, best of all, we
can feed the warm, Sweet milk to the
calf. Por ventilation In the stable L
depend upon a two inch hole in the
wall with a shingle to close over it in
stormy weather-. I feed through traps
in front of the cows, and these are
never very tiglit, so they always have
fresh air In front of them. I clean 'the
stable twice a day regularly In winter,
and in the summer the stock are in the
pasture night and day. -V. T. Lundval,
Aroostook County, Me.
` D:tiry Tait of Today. I
The handling of milk the first few
hours after it has come from the cow
has a great influence on its quality and
the commercial value of the products
made from it. The care of milk seems
a simple matter, but better methods in
our dairies are of the greatest impor-
tance to the success and reputation or
American dairying.
Testing of Dairy Cows.
O icially authenticated testing of dal -
ry cows is becoming more and more
the leading feature of the work of
breeders. These tests are regarded by
the public as the true Index of the':
value and of the capacity of all breeds
Practical dairymen are placing abso• ;
lute reliance upon them as an invalua
ble aid in the selection of sires with
which certainly to improve the capaci-
ty and profitable production of their
cows.
Dairy Products In Demand.
The greatest profit is iu selling milk
and cream to customers, the next in
having annual customers who will take
either cheese or butter as it is made.
Then follows the selling of cream to
the creamery.and, lastly, butter to the,
store trade as one :can catch the Mar-
ket. There seems to be .a constantly
increasing demand for the products
of the dairy which keeps pace with the
increase of cows. There is a bright
prospect ahead for all who wish to en-
gage hr this great branch of agricul-
ture. -S. F. Emerson.
Where the Expense Comes In.
Professor W. J. Fraser of the Illinois
College of Agriculture says, "It is what
the farmer does not know about his
cows that hurts." If lie knew how ex-
pensive it is to keep a poor cow, he
would not do it. Twenty-five good
cows will earn more net than a hun-
dred moderately good cows and more
than 1,000 poor cows. The poor cows
will not pay their way. In one case the
cows will keep the farmer; in the other
the farmer will keep the cows. i
The Milking Machine,
The Farmers Advocate says: "We
did not believe In the efficiency of the
milking machine until' we saw one at
work. Now that we have been shown
we cannot say tob much in" its favor.
There are milking machines and milk-
ing mabllines, so be careful What -you
buy when you are approached by a
Smooth tongued milking machine Telles -
man. So far as we know, there Is only
one or two approved makes of milking
machines. Better go slow in the put;`' -
chase of a machine and be sure you '
get a good one."
Culling the Herd.
It is the constant aim of progressive
dairymen to improve their herds, and
such improvement must depend largely"
upon .nulling the herd and getting rid
of the unprofitable animals,
.Keep Out the Bacteria.

after It is once Infected with bacteria

from it. The bacteria must not he al-
