The world's wheat drop this year is estimated at 3,318,000,000 bushels, as compared with 3,104,000,000 bush- els last year, an increase of 214,- 000,000 bushels, according to fig- ures carefully eom?fled by the In- ternational Institute of Agriculture at Rome. The estimated shipments from supply countries of the world for this year is 690,000,000 bushels, ,of which Canada is expected to supply 290,000,000 bushels, or about ` one-third. Canadian trade with Australia is on the increase, according to re- turns made public by the Bureau of Statistics. Canadian exports to, Australia for the twelve months ending with June were $19,824,239 as compared with $12,200,468 for the coreasponding period) ending June, 1322. Canada's imports from ;the Commonwealth have also in- creased. 'The imports from Aus- tralia for the last twelve months were $1,545,829, as compared with $1,275,871 for the year previous.

Honored as'L Mali 'Critic y' � .ound in Victorian 'Era ae..s. :••:-.1..:-,:-:-:-:-:-:.:...:-.....:-:-:“:•,:,-, One hundred years after his birth and a third of a century after his death, Matthew Arnold's name con- tinues to be regarded as that of pee - haps the greatest critic of the Vic- torian era, It has been said of hies, that eke did as much for literature as Ruskin did for art, but unlike Rus- kin, the time never came whet: younger critics regarded hial sun: - Jingly, His ju.'gments have been verified by time, and if he never re- ceived the fame that was lavielial upon his two great can'te npurraies;- Tennyson and Bret -ming, it eyes be• cause his poetry, while precious, was written as though it were intended exclusively for university men. Mat- thew Arnold's i+ritin;s will never1 become popular, but it will be a tang time before they will c -..se to be -u indispensable part of the laading of those who aspire to a sou Id culture. Curiously enough. while his rely ;leus writings were the most s iii ... .. tacked in hiscetir e., end are e • haps the smallW. part of his coatil- bution to literature, they seem now to be the most wi:lel; re.t•. The son of tee famous Dr, Arnold of Rugby, it was natural that he should inherit an enthusiasm for education, and f er the most par; he earned his living as a sceoei insp c - tor, traveling mucus tee c. untry. As his fame as esc. y ,st and tett grew be 'came into demand e s •, e c- tuner and on one occasion visite 0 tale United States. While he was wel- comed by the intellectuals he seemed to excite resentment in other circle?, and on on occ.:sinn was attack =>d by a Chicago new peper for the sup. posedly tremendous fees the charged. The truth is that his charges were moderate, and to -day would hardly tempt a fourth -rate writer to the public platform. Arnold, fortunately, had a strong sense of humor which prevented him taking seriously the churlish remarks of his critic.. In Herbert Paul's "Life of Mat- thew Arnold" in the English Men of Letter series, we are given a picture of the personal appearance of the poet. He is described as both im- pressive and agreeable, and the author continues: "He was tall, of commanding presence, with black hair, which never became grey, and blue. eyes. He was shortsighted, and. his eye- glass gave him a false air of super- ciliousness, accentuated by the clever caricaturist of Vanity Fair. In re- ality he was the most genial and amiable of men, But he had a good deal of manner, which those who did not know him mistook' for as- sumption. It was nothing of the kind, but a mixture of old-fashioned courtesy and comic exaggeration. Mr. Arnold was always willing to tell a story, or to join in a laugh against himself. Roughness or rude- ness he could not bear. He was essentially a polished man of the world. He never gave himself airs, or seemed conscious of any superi- ority. to those about him. Consider- ate politeness to young and old, •rich and poor, obscure and eminent, was the practice of his life. His standard was the standard of a Christian gen- tleman, his models in that respect were such naen as Newman and Church.". He enjoyed not only, with excep- tion of his hereditary complaint, good health and good spirits, but one of those happy temperaments which diffuse and radiate satisfac- tion. No one could be cross or bored when Matthew Arnold was in the room., He was always musing, and always seemed to look at the bright side of things. Naturally sociable, and in a modest way con- vivial, he took pleasure both in .the exercise and in the acceptance of hospitality. He knew good wine.. from bad, and was not ashamed to admit the knowledge. His talk was witty, pointed, and often irresistibly droll. Although public speaking did not suit him, he had a very flex- ible voice, admirably fitted for the -dramatic rendering of a story, or' for the purposes of satirical criticism. He could be very dogmatic in con- versation, but never aggressive°: or overbearing. Foe a poet he was sur- prisingly practical, taking a li'ely ;interest in .people's incomes,'the rent of their houses, the produce of their gardens, and the size of their fami- lies. He had none of Wordswor-th's contempt for gossip, and his father's ,.strenuous , earnestness, had not ,de- scended to him. "Habitually ',hie dulging a strong propensity to mockery,'.' as "Macaulay says of. Halifax, he was never ill-natured; and never willingly gave pein. He would make fun . of, the people;;; he loved best, but always did it good- humoredly. His theoretical belief. in the principle of authority had eit- tle influence upon his practice. • Mr. Arthur Benson, in his portly bi- ography of his` father, tells us how the author of "Literature and Dog- ma," on being con€wonted with some Paternal dictum, replied with ' his confidential smile, "Dear. Mr. Arn- old was not infallible." Mr. Arnold's smile was :like a touch of nature; it made the whole world kin. Wordsworth and Goethe were the two poets who influenced him most among the moderns, but his bent was almost entirely classical. He was a great admirer of Emerson and set him higher than Carlyle. But whatever was not- classical, in Arn- old's opinion, was barbarian. He has himself been compared to Goethe in that lee excelled both as poet and critic, a distinction which is rare indeed.. He was also one of the most brilliant illustrations of thetin- truth of the smart saying; that a cu tic is one who has failed at author ship.. A whale i, i.a.eable of swimming twelve miles an hair.

Was This Farmer's Wife Correet?- Is 7,lhere Any Respite From Mon- otony 'in . the Life of Rural Women? --What Is. the Panacea for Farm,Loneliness?-Ilandling Cream for Butter. (Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture. Toronto.) 1 called at a farm home one day in .search of water for an overheated motor. Rapping gently on the kit - ellen door, I was met hy„the good lady of the house. "May I have a pail of water?" l asked. • "You may," she said, handing me a pail and pointing to the pump. I noticed that her index finger and her chin seemed to work in unison when she indicated the direction of the Pump, "Shrewd old girl," I thought, as the water flowed into the pail. "I will try and draw her out. 1 wonder how she puts in the time. What is she thinking about anyway?'" :l. Farm Woman's View of the Quiet Life. After filling the radiator with the clear, cold water, .I returned to the door with the borrowed pail. No need of rapping this time. She met me with a kindly smile. "You have a nice farm here," 1 said. "You must have a nice ' quiet life in the country where everything about you, is just • plain 'wholesome nature." ' 'Quiet life!'she said with some emphasis. "Just plain nature?" "Yes just too much so, so much so that we want to get away from it all, al!d be natural." Somewhat surprised at her expres- sions, especially the "be natural," .I had always thought that if there was any place where a person could be natural it was on the farm. The Monotony of Farm Living. I asked, "Why do you want to get away?" She replied, "We have no life here. My husband and I get up at five o'clock every morning. He at once goes to the barns to feed the stock, while I get the breakfast and attend the , poultry, We hurry through breakfast, and then he rushes away to the barn or fields, returning at noon for one half hour in which to eat his dinner. After dinner he is away again until supper time, when he returns tired from work in the fields, pretty well worn by the long monotonous day of heavy labor. As for me, why, I attend the house work. Yes, I attend the house work in sil- ence all day long, and that is what gets my goat. I do not hear the sound of another voice frcm one day's end to another.- No woman to talk to, no neighbor handy by where I could call for a chat. No chance to exercise my tongue. Farm . Women Fed Up With Silence. "We farm women get fed up with so much silence. It is somewhat dif- ferent with the men, they are working with animals and do not feel the loneliness as *we women do. Once a week is not often enough for wo- men to get together. Being kept apart so long is it any wonder that our tongues wag at both ends when an ' opportunity to talk does come." Is There a Panacea for Rural Loiie- liness? After hearing that .little ser- monette, I unconsojously started for the car that I lead left standing on the roadway. Coming to my senses after a time, I began to think, just what there was in what the lady of the farm home 'had to say, and re- peated to myself her words. "No chance to exercise my tongue, so mudh silence.'" Perhaps, after all, the farm is too lonely a place for the average wo- man of to -day, and with the trend of modern living it will be a more lonesome place. in the future unless something. happens to change ideas and ideals. Can anyone suggest a solution of the problem ?-L. Stevenson, O. A. C., Guelph. Handle Cream for Butter Carefully. Cream may be a little sour, but, if it • is clean and free from foreign odors and tastes, it will make fancy butter in the hands of an expert but- termaker. Cream approaching rank cidity and carrying with it particles of dirt, whiffs of undesirable odors, and a taste of the barnyard or cellar never losestcits' identity) -,The; butter, it, enters into is that which drags on the market and sells at a low price. To argue that because certain neigh- bors are careless _with their cream provides a reason why no one needs to be careful is illogical. Produce and handle your cream in a careful, cleanly manner, deliver it frequently and then demand a price in keeping with- the quality. Flushing ewes at breeding time to increase the number of twin is an ancient practice among flockowners, but not till recent years have swine raisers paid much attention to this practice. Prof. Edward, of the Iowa Experiment Station, has been inves- tigating its practicability with pigs, and reports that the sows making the most rapid gain at the time • of. breeding, produced on the average 2.1 pigs more per litter than those making the slowest gain. Another Practical conclusions reached as the result of this same,. set of observa- tions is that if large litters are ,loole ed for,'. if .is well -net to breed the sow until ' the first period 'of heat after weaning; when two litters are raised,in one year.
