Thelnnity of the Conservative party
is well illustrated by the little boom
which bas etarted in Nova Scotia to
plane Sir Hibbert Tupper in the Op-
position leadership. We should be
sorry to see Mr. R. L Borden de osed,
but if he bas to go it would be as much
satisfaction to defeat Sir Hibbert as it
would bo to rout any other man whom
the Conservatives might choose.-Ot.

As a proof of its poverty the New
York World mentions that on Thursday
the Standard Oil Company declared a
quarterly dividend of $6 making the
dividends declared so far this year $30 a
there. To pay $30,000,000 in dividends
since the first of the year would indicate
satisfactory dividends. By the end of
1907 it loops as though the trust might
pay 40 per Dent on dividends, as it did
in 1935 and 1906, or even 48 per cent, as
it did in 1900 and 1901.
THE GEORGIAN BAY CANAL.
New York Sun: Many thousands of
years ago the Greattikes are supposed
to have disobarged their waters through
the French river, Lake Nipiesiug and
the Mattawa, Ottawa and St. Lawrence
risers into the Atlantio. This is the very
route that Champlain followed when he
reached the inland seas and gazed over
their vast expanse,.
Over thts route for centuries passed
all the traffic between the Canada of the
early days and the Western outpoets of
the Hudson's Bay company, and this is to
be the route of the Georgian Bay Canal,
wbioh Canada now proposes to build
and which will be by far the shortest
waterway between the lakes and the
ocean•
Tile project bas been in the atr for
years, but not till now has it taken deft
nits shape. Many questions have been
involved and among them the form the
canal should take. Should it be a four.
teen feet oauai for canal boats of large
size, or a twenty foot ship canal, or a
thirty feet ocean steamer proposition, so
that great ocean freighters might load at
lake ports and unload in Europe?
All the questions have uow been
answered. For two years the Georgian
Bay Canal Commission of Canada has
been studying every phase of the en-
terprise and it is now preparing the
plans for the building of the canal.
It is to be a ship canal, providing a
continuous and easily navigable water-
way with a minimum depth of twenty-
one feet, from Georgian Bay to tide
water. The post is estimated at about
$105,000,000.
The fact is, their is very little canal to
build. Some•long stretches in the river
must be canalized at large expense
and about thirty miles of rooky barter
and a few mud and sawdust banks must-
be
ustbe removed, bus the whole Cost of con-
necting the Lake ports with the ocean
will soaroely exceed the appropriation
of New York State for the improvement
of the E ie Canal.
Sir Wilfrid Leerier is reported as say.
ing that as soon as the firet instalment of
money is provided he will have the work
begun at once.
This will be the nearest approach to
an air line water route between the
Lakes and the A]antio for which nature
has provided facilities. It will make a
water Channel between the Soo canal
and Montreal 350 miles skorter than by
way of the Welland canal, the line of
least resistance between the lakes and
the ocean.
Not a dollar wilt have to be spent on
the route from the Soo canal, the great
gateway .into Lake Superior, to the
mouth of the French river, on the shore
of Georgian Illy, The route will hug
the Canadian coast, passing through the
North Channel, landlocked because the
long island of Great Manitoulin is a
bulwark against the waves of Lake
Huron. Thus a deep and protected
channel from one to fifteeu milee wide
is provided from the Soo to the French
river, a distance of 100 miles.
This river drains the waters of Lake
Nipissing to Georgian Bay, the lake
forming the summit level seventy feet
above the bay. At low water the French
river carries eome 10,000 cubic feet of
second out of Lake
Nipissing

and there will be forty-six miles of can-
alization on this river, with three short
rock cote through the rapids.
East of the lake is the divide which is
only about two miles wide and a few
feet above Nipisaing. Then the descent
begins through two small lakes and the
Mattawa River, which drops 150 feet into
the broad bosom of the stately Ottawa.
This river, obetruoted by some stretches
of rapids and banks of sawdust, is other -
Wise broad and deep and will carry the
Lake fleet to the St. Lawrence and a
little above Montreal.
Producers and shippers in States of
the Union bordering the Lakes have
taken a great interest in this projeot
because it promises to give them the
shortest and oheapeet route to the At-
lantic. Not a few western railroad glen
are also in hearty sympathy with the
enterprise,

would have to carry out in many years.

Only thirty-two miles of actual canal

channels could be used, with consider-
able dredging here and there. Re said

The Japanese are forging ahead. In
1899 it was reported that 85.06 per cent
oe the boys and 59.04 per cent of the
girls of sobool age were attending school,
figures which had iuore'teed five years
later to 95 59 and 89 8 respectively.
During the school year 1003-4 (the latest
for which we have figures) -4,500,000
was spent in public ednoattou, and
5.9.76,124 or 93 23 per cent of the children,
boys and girls combined, of school age,
were •recorded as reoeiving elementary
instruction.
A couple of years ago Great Britain
produced the biggest war vessel in the
world, the Dreadnaught, and at once
the Americans and the Japanese made
plans to produce others a little bigger.
Now Britain is planning to build one of
30,000 tons more than 50 per cent bigger
than the Dreadnaught; and already
United States naval officers are figuring
on one of 40.000 taus, and Japan may be
trusted to build one ot 42,000 tons.
Thus, says the Philadelphia Record, the
effort to secure perp;taal peace by having
a navy big enough to seara everybody

ftotted.

The principal feature of the Home

is the expose of the city morgue in an

'with the latter is given a new setting of

It is expected that the new canal will
have a wonderfill inflaenoo upon the
development of the Ottawa river. It is
estimated that with the oompletion of
the canal the water power available
along the river will be almost ae great as
that of Niagara, and for eleotrioal per.
poses It will be far superior to Niagara
because power at those falls is confined
to a radius of about 50 miles, while the
Ottawa river affords water power along
400 miles at convenient distances. With
ea much cheap power available and with
its great xesouroes of iron ore and tim-
ber the Ottawa Valley it+ expected to de-
velop into one of the great mi,nufaotar•

DON'T DIE AT 45.
Ogre the Indigestion Whish is
Liable to Lead to Apoplexy.
People who suffer with headache, gid-
diness, palpitation, bad taste in the
mouth, drowsiness, distress after eating,
and any of the other distressing results
of indigestion, are in serione danger.
Their digestive organs cannot care for
the food properly and hence the coati: of
the blood vessels in the brain get little
nourishment, become brittle, and finally
yield to the fierce blood pressure and one
is then said to have a "shook" be para-
lyzed, or die ot apopolexy.
In all diseases of indigestion and nutri-
tion the prescription called Mi o-na has
proven itself of great value It is relied
upon today as a certainty to relieve the
worst tranbl a of indigestion and make a
complete onre.
That M-io na will onre the worst forms
of stomaoh trouble, canner excepted, and
give gaiok relief in indigestion is proven
be the gaurantee Walton MoKibbon gives
with every 50 -cent box to refund the mon-
ey unless Mi -o. na onree. A guarantee
like this must inspire confidence,

"If there is a work to bedone es-

Such seems to be the policy into which
we are being gradually drawn. There

Dairymen everywhere are awakening
to the fact that cleanliness in the sta-
ble means better milk and consequent-
ly
onsequently better prices, and any arrangement
that will help keep the m1112 giver out
of the dirt should be of interest. Tote
iilnstratiou shows a stall that a writer
In the l.'rairle Farmer claims will keep
a cow perfectly clean. It is coiastruct
ed as follows: Use a 2 by 4 for bottom
of feed rack. Place .this three feet
from floor to stall. lJse 1 by 4 strips .
placed about six inches apart, Fermin„
the rack. The strips should slope back.

about sixty degrees. Place a 2 by
on edge from seven to eight feet from.
front of stall on the floor, depending on
size of cow. Fasten the 2 by 4 down
to floor, if set in dirt, with a good sized.
stake. If floor Is made of plank, nail
a block to floor, then spike the 2 by d
to blocks..
The cow when enting will stand with
her hind feet just behind the 2 by 4,
leaving the droppings behind it. When
she lies down she will be compelled to
lie in front of the 2 by 4, with her head
under the feed rack. It is not neces-
sary to have a gutter iu n stall of this
kind. There should be short partitions,
however, to keep the cows from turn-
ing around.
Testing the Dairy Herd.
Records of the performances of dairy
cows' form the only accurate and safe
basis for judging their value. It Is
the constant aim of progressive dairy-
men to improve their herds. and such
improvement must depend largely upon
culling the herd
and getting rid
of the unprofit-
able animals.
From the breed-
ers' tandpoint
records are espe-
cially valuable
in assisting in
c '. , 1 : ` finding custom-
ers for their
stock. Many
buyers insist on
seeing records
of dairy per-
formance before
purchasing',
A record is al-
so of great help
to the feeder, -if
he knows exact-
ly what a cow
is doing he can
prepare the re-
ee tion accordingly
and often feed
more economic-
ally. Again,ada1I
daily
milk record en-
ables a dairyman to detect the ap.
preach of sickness in a cow and thus
to take steps to ward it off. Great in-
spiration is obtained from keeping a
record, and nothi' g gives a dairyman
more satisfaction ! e an watching the
improved returns from his herd.
The scales shown in the illustration is
the nicest thing made for testing pur-
poses. It has two pointers. Before
milking you hang the empty pail on
the hook and set the colored pointer
at 0. Then when you come to weigh
the milk you read the weight as marI:=
ed by this hand. A spring balance
that can be bought for 23 or 35 cents
will answer the perpose, but will not
be as convenient. A shelf on which
the bottles are kept, a record sheet and
a lead pencil complete the stable equip-
ment for testing your herd. It is but a
moment's work to hang the milk pail
on the seeles, read the dual and record
the weight. Mixing the milk and tak-
ingthe sample will occupy a few mo-
ments more, says Kimball's Dairy.
Farmer, but all represent a very little
time and a great deal of gain.

The "Boss" Cow In the Hard.
In every herd of cowe there le some
one Of the number that takes the initi-
ative. She is the first one to lead the
rest through a fence Into a cultivated'
field. If there Is a gate in the yard
which has been left partly latched she
will be sure to find It slid lead the herd.
Into the garden or down the road. To
say the Ieast, this kind of a eow is a
constant originator of trouble, and It
seems to be her pleasuro to do any-
thing but chew her cud and produce a
good mess of milk in the dairy. Where
a tow with an merrily nature is only
an ordinary producer she 'will fill a
much better place in the beef barrel
than in the dairy herd. This is a
profltable and quick manner of gettilig
rid of a eonstant source Of aggravation
in the herd.
Coo( the Milk Quickly.
Too ranch caro ennnot be exercised
to cool the milk quickly and 'keep It
cool, est cleanliness and cold are the,
two main factors in the production of
milk that will keep sweet for any rea-
sonable tirtle, Add to this a healthy
fiord of cows and healthy attendants
find we have a summery of the neces-
sary requisites for the production and
cut of Clean taIlk.
