NOTES AND COMMENTS.
Hon. Edward Blake has tendered his
resignation as Nationalist membeif for
South Langford, in the British, House of
Commons. Miming age and failing
health. compel Ilia to leave the political
arena and in all probability he will re-
turn to Canada to spend his remaining
days among his own people.
A. writer in the Philadelphia Press
contends that gossip in the country
villages is not nearly so prevalent as it
is in the so oallea best social circles in
the oiliestenor is it so vicious. The
unkind word, the slanderous word, the
character assassinating word, make up
a deal of small talk of people of small
naiads and corrupt natures.
In reporting upon trade conditions in
Australia, Canadian trade agents there
state that $15,000 worth of butter was
exported to Canada last year. This is
a rather remarkable condition of afiairs.
Canada, a great dairying country; cannot
produce enough butter to supply the
local demand. And yet we pay out
thousands of dollars of public funds
every year to promote dairying. What
is the matter? Are our efiorta being
wrongly directed, or are our farmers
going out of the business in spite of what
is being done to keep them in?
The Empress of Britain sailed up to
Qeebec ou Thursday last, having on
board Sir Wilfrid Laurier and party,
who have returned from the Continent.
Long before the steamer arrived great
itreparations were made for a suitable
reception to the Premier, and a party of
fifteen hundred boarded a fleet of vestels,
whioh *ailed down the river to meat
him. Oa the arrival of the party at
Quebec a procession was formed to the
Chateau Frontenao, where Sir Wilfrid
briefly thanked his friends for their ex-
pression of welcome, Sir Wilfrid was
else given grand receptions at Montreal
and Ottawa,
A young man recently went to New
York from some plaoe in Canada.
Wishing to appear superior he said some
nasty, ungrateful things about his native
land, called it an 'o11 man's" land and
other name whioh he considered detri-
mental. The artiole was published by a
paper of soins importance, and therefore
attracted considerable attention, which
was unfortunate. He belongs to a
species of yonng men, which we have
often noted. Yon have all met them,
and, truth to tell, there are young women
at the same brand. We are thank-
ful that there is another class. They
go to the cities. They are drawn
there because their kind of life must
be lived there. But when success
crowns them, when honor comes- to them,
when their nim3 is on every tongue,
what do they think of the old farm? It
is to them a garden of Eden, a place be-
loved, enchanted, a place where they ever
rove again in fancy, and a place whose
cherished memory's as dear as life itself.
Canada has many such eons soma the
line, and they must blush with. shame
for this young ungrateful, who befowls
his own nest.— Parkhill Gazette Review.
Prof. Hutt has been investigating a
pest that attaoke the orchards in Dur-
ham County. Several trees have been
killed.
Owing to the increase in the cost of
cotton and labor, and the consequent
higher prices paid by wholesalers ' for
apool cotton, the retail price of the latter
will, it is expected, be increased soon.
Four -cent soot& it is stated, will soon
be retailing at five or six cents.
CANADIAN WHEAT.
..1..."1•100.1•M
Wheat is, of course, the staple prodtot
of Western Canada, and there is no bett
ter teat of sea. Taking the official re.
turns for the three prairie provinces for
eight yeara, 1898 to 1905, it is found that
there was an average yield of 19 73
bushels per acre, which for land cropped
year after year without auy resort to ter -
Wizen is uncommonly high. The of.
Ada average for Minnesota for the limit
census period of ten years was 142 bush-
ele per am, and for Iowa, 14.7 per acme.
In 1808 there were 1,795,812 wee sown
to wheat in Western Canada, and from
these 31,500,000 bnehele were raised. In
1903 the acreage had increased to 8,849e,
025 acres, and the yield to 83,500,000, an
average for that year of over 21 bushels
to the acre. These figures tell their own
story of the fertility of the emit and the
rewards that are reaped by the industri-
ous hnsbarldtnan. To handle this enor
mous wheat business there are 1,015
interiorelevators, with a storage espaeity
of 27,683,000 bushels, representing a
capital iuvestnaent of $355,000,000. There
are ten terminal elevators at the Lake
Superior ports of Fort Whitson and Port
Arthur with a total capacity of 1/3,000,-
000 bushels. In addition there are 93
three -roller flour mills at various points
throughout the west, with a daily capac-
ity of 18,500 barrels.
The price of wheat in Western Canada
is determined in the main by the price
in the Liverpool market, less the cost
of transportation to that market from
the initial point of initial shipment.
This price varies with the season,
but it approximates Fort William
price per bushel from Winnipeg to
Liverpool, at the time of writing the
cash price of Fort William wheat as
quoted in Winnipeg is 79 1.2 cents per
bushel for No. 1 Northern, and propor-
tionately less, apcordiug to freight rates,
I at pointa in the West. With an average
yield 01 80 bushels to the acre, the cash
returns on lands purchased at the rela-
tively low prices which have been noted
are large enough to attract enterprising
agriculturists, who make a business of
farming for profit, from other lands.—

and Possibilities." by John W. Defoe,.

Reviews for Jane.

VACCINATION FOR BLACKLEG
ANC ANTHRAX IN CATTLE.
The disease known as Blackleg in
cattle, although entirely unknown in
many extensive agricultural sections of
Canada and not at all wide spread in
any district or province, annually causes
quite extensive losses to cattle raisers.
. Anthrax, whioh is quite a different dis-
ease, although frequently confused with
Blackleg in the minds of many cattle
raisers, is also the cause of serious loss
of stock. The former disease is almost
entirely confined to cattle under three
years, and is genenally fatal. The
latter attacks other classes of farm ion
-
male and the human subject is not
exempt from its infection which gener-
ally results seriously.
By the aid of science cattle raisers are
now enabled to protect their stock again-
st these maladies. As the human fame,
ily is vaccinated against small pox, in
the same manner cattle are rendered
immune from Blackleg and Anthrax,
Tne Department of Agrscultnre at Ot.
tawa through the Health of Animals
Branch is now in a position to supply
preventive vaccine for each of these dis.
eases at the nominal cost of five cents
per dose. Until recently, by special ar-
rangement with extensive manufactures
in the United States, these products were
secured at a reduced cost, and were
placed in the hands of Canadian Cattle
raisers at ten cents per dose for Blaokleg
vaccine and fourteen cents per dose for
Anthrax vaccine. It is due to the fact
that these preparations are now being
made at the Biological Laboratory in
connection with the Health of Animals
Bra ich that they cau be supplied at five
cents per dose.
The vaccine for Blackleg may be
administered by any intelligent person
by means of an instrument supplied by
the Deit tm nt et lift
p r 8 sr cents.
_ Anthrax vaccine, which Is also sup-
plied at five cents per dome, is more
difficult to administer, requiring a
qualified veterinarian to treat an animal.
Cattle raisers who have fear of an
attack of either Blackleg or Anthrax
would do well to apply to the Veterinary
Director General at Ottawa for the pro-
per preventive treetment,

wet found dead bed.
It wasn't a Missouri editor but a print-
er's devil who was going through his
first experience on "making up" forms.
The paper was late and the boy got the
galleys mixed. The first part of an obit'
nary notice of a pectutious citizen had
been dumped in the formee, and the
next handful of type carne off a galley
describing a recent fire. It seed like
this: "The pall -bearers lowered the
body to the grave and it was consigned
to the names, there were few if any re.
greta, for the old wreck had been an
eyesore to the towa for years. Of course
there was individual lose, but that was
fully covered by insurance." The
widow thinks the editor wrote the
obituary that way because the lamented
partner of tier toys and sorrows owed
him five year's subseription.
Live Stools Markets
Toronto, July 23 —The run at the City
Cattle market to -day was 112 loads,
1,810 head of cattle, 1,059 sheep and
lambs, 400 hogs, and 302 calves.
Market is dull, owing to warmer
weather. There was a heavy run, and
prices went off all round from 20o to
25o on cattle. There was practically
nothing doing in the export garb,
what few heavy cattle there might
be offering sold for the local bather
trade, a few picked ones of very
choice quality selling at good prices.
For the regular run of batoher cattle the
demand was easier, and common stuff
was hardly wanted. Sheep and lamb
market is easier and weak.
Hog market is steady and unchanged
from last week's quotation. There
was but a light run of hogs, and selects
sold steady, $6 90.
The stocker trade is off, there being
very little enquiry.
Sheep and Iamb market weak and
lower.
Hogs: Quotations were unchanged
from last week. There was a light ran
of hogs.
