To make up some of .the lose occaSi, ned 11 the proposed . re4uction- in Mr. Mulock will ask news - •paper publishers to pay half a cent a - pound on all papers set.toutside radius of teu miles from the publish- • ing (ghee. An insokency bill has been intro- duced in the Houss of Commons,. nr. Fortin, the member who introduc- ed the bill, said-; that it had been, prepared under the ouperyisiait of the Moqtreal Board of Trade:assisted ,by Meors. A. S. Kent and 'Mr. Steven- s( n, who are authorities on the sub . ject The measure embodied many of 1 the . provisions- • of . Sir McKenzie Llowell's Bill passei by tbe seniti in 1804 and reintroduced in OW , It is limited in its application AO traders. An important point of difference) Le. tween this and the Boewell bill is that it does not apply to.joint *Wei com- pahies, which comm under the 'winding up Act of 1S89-. Voluntary assign- ments must be compulsory. The pro- ceedure is this: Application is made by a petition to the court for a receiv- ing order. That order, .when issued, is addressed to the sheriff, who im- mediately takes possession olthe pro perty of the insolvent. "Mr. Fontin's bill seems to meet the most pressing demands, namely, no preferences, and protecting' the rights of British credi- tors. The bill has been favorably received by both parties in the Com- mons. AGAINSR FODDER CHEESE The following circular has oeen sent to dairymen by the Ingorsoll Packing Co., and may be of interest to those engaged in dairying, as proving the wisdom of establishing creamMes : . "We believe the factorymen in the Ingersoll section will he studying their own interests if they do not make any fodder cheese this seoson, especially as they are at best an undesiraLle article and reflect discaedit on all the cheese •manufactured throughout tam season. We are all well aware that the con- ditions are not favorable in the early spring months for making cheese. If they are made they will naturally find their way to the other side and are an important factor in depressing the market when the heavier month's Make is being marketed. Moreover, fodder cheese get out of condition as soon as the weather turns warm and cast a reflection on Canadian cheese generally. By not commencing to make before the first or middle of May it will give the importers on the other side an op- portunity to clear out their old stocx, and thus we will be able to commence the new season on a better bailie. The importers have lost heavily on last Leason's purchases for which they paid very remunerative prices, (aud many of them now have large etocks), and the money thus lost was received by Canadian factorymen. Now it will undoubtedly be to the advantage of all who areaconscientiously interested in lanadian cheese to do their utmost to see there are no fodder,cheese made' Iii discussing this matter with several of our most prominent factorymen they are very emphatic in denouncing the making of any fodder cheese. ••:The price both el eatuery and dairy, butter is hinher than for .years. past' in the spring, partially owing to the drought In Ablitrailia,. and, the milk can be utilizediti the waking of butter, much :more prOtitOly them in the making.Of tsdder .cheese. • - Patrons, cheesemakera, . salesmen and buyers as svell.should lay asidednY personal interest and all act in har- mony in serving the beat interest,' of the trade." a.ad Sas • Agricultural Slooloty Meeting , .
