AMERIACN push and enterprise are proverbial, but British pluck and energy are likely to become not less remarkable and that, too, in the United States themselves, The latest instance et this sort of rivalry is given in the report that a. gigan- tic F.'iglish sS ndida#e is endeavoring to secure the management of the forthronting World's Fair at Chi- cago, that it may conduct it on a money -making basis. Englishmen of late have been getting possession of a great many American enter- prises, but it is certainly a most daring idea tar them to contemplate getting the control and running the great .&merican Fair, This would be out-Yankeeing the Yankees with a vengeance. iiIR. VQORHE S, United States Senator, is authority for the state- ,. ment that farm property in the United S'atee has depreciated thirty-three percent. in value In the last twenty-five years. The truth of this stat; rent not being ques- tioned, it suggests the enquiry, how is Canada to be benefited by closer connection, iu trade or otherwise,. with a country where such depre- ciation is a dismal fact. When the backbone of a nation --the farmers --have been brought to a condition so deplorable as this, what possible inducement can it hold out to this country to share its fortunes ? These farmers enjoy the fullest reciprocity with all the states, and, since thia is their con• dition, how are Canadian farmers to improve their position by re- ciprocity? • THE TARIFF CHANGES. IN the tariff changes the farmer has not ;leen forgotten, as listen to the following :-Mess pork, ie. to tic per lb.; all salted ' and fresh meats, from ic. to 3c per lb, ; lard, 3c per lb,, weight of package to be included for duty. Live animals, cattle, sheep and hogs, 3o per cent. adval ; apples per bbl. 4oc ; wheat. flour per bbl., 75c. Owing to the disadvantage in which the Canadian miller is placed in the lower pro- vinces, in .the strong corn- petition with Yankee flour, and on account of the duty on wheat imported front the U. S. being higher in proportion than on the imported flour, this advance in duty equalize matters, and it will now aqua e m n is expected will secure the home mar- ket to Canadian millers and at the same time benefit the Canadian tanner ; and thus whilst benefiting both the miller and farmer of the west, the cost to the consumer will not be increased. In tact in the revision of the tariff every industry has received careful attention in every way from foreign competition, and it is satisfactory to know that the government has come to the wise ,Conclusion that it is highly necessary to keep peace with our neighbors across the lines and in Europe, in maintaining the true policy of protection to our farmers, at the same time building up the industries of the country. Our esteemed contemporary, the Exeter Tures, takes us to task for ques- tioning the policy of the Government in squeezing two dollars a bushe• out of the farmers for seed barley. The agricul- tural interests of this country are suffer- ing from a wave of depression such as was never know in Canada prior to the adoption of the N. P. and if Sir John and his followers in the House desire to benefit the tillers of the soil they should either distribute the seed free of charge or at a figure somewhat nearer equival- ent to what farmers may expect to re- ceive for the product when they come to sell it again. The TIMES says similar barley cannot be bought in Canada for 00 cents per bushel, and yet many farmers even around. Exeter have sold two -rowed barley for less money. -St. Marys Argus. In the first place, the farmers of Canada are not so destitute that they require gifts of this kind, and never since the adoption of the N. P. have the tillers of the soil been in bettercondition, which fact is verified by the financial state of the country and the enviable state of the farmers generally. The Argus tries to make it appear that as good barley Y can be got for 6o cents; • and a_1 e that it can be purchased in this neighborhood for that figure. There is not a particle of seed in this section, the best proof of which is the fact that the majority of farmers have ordered a bag of the Government. The catalogue price in England of the barley the Government is distributing is I2S 6d a bushel._ If the Argus or others can provide it for 6o ceuts they have a grand chance for be. ltttlingthe Government aud turning over a good profit. at the same time. The best evidence that the farmers throughout the country approve of the action of the Hon. John Car- ling in this matter is seen in the fact that twenty five hundred appli- cations have been thus far sena; in for samples of the two -rowed barley and that the staff at the Experi- mental Farm have been kept busy night and day sending them out. The supplementary estimates introduced in the Ontario Legislature on Thursday amount to$126,638,h t o incl i r al tams principal being $31414 for public buildings, and 019,- 980 for colonization roads.

Mowat is 70 years of age, and still he will persist in pursuing a wrong course, The locomotive will soon be whistling through Jerusalem. A railway is to be built from Jaffa to the historic city, a dis- tance of forty miles. An official pamphlet claims for various Manitoba cities and towns the following populations: --Winnipeg about 25,000 Selkirk, 800; Portage In Prairie 2,500; Brandon, 3,000; Rapid City, 300; Glad- stone, 300 ; Neepaway, 300 ; Birtle, 400 Many of the Reform papers make ob- jection to the revised duties on the ground that they discriminate against the farmers. It would take an able-bodied intellect a full week to show bow in- creasing the duties on pork, beef, flour and woolen goods is to the detriment of the farmers. The United States occasionally take it into their heads to speak superciliously of Canada, but if their recent acts ts of legislation are to be taken as a guide to their real estimate of Canada they value this country very highly. Our railroad system gives them special cause for dis- comfort. The chief new item of interest in the field of polities is the fyling of a protest against Dr. Montague, M. P. for Heidi - x 1 . J. d Tpetitioner is A r m n he Sheppard, and Dr, Montague and Peter Reiclleld, Returning Officer, are the de- fendants. The petition charges bribery by the Doctor personally as well as by agents. Charges of impropriety are also made against the Returning Officer. The anieuded tariff bill before the United States Congress retains on the free list thefallowiugarticles largelypro- duced in Canada : Animals for breeding purposes, articles in a crude state used in t.'uwing, ores of nickel, paper stock and pulp and potash. It is not safe to count on their remaining so, however. The chances are that some Canadian commercial unionist is already in eorres- pondence with friends in Washington pointing out that Canada and its present Government may be still further hurt by making the United Statea tariti effect everything that can be produced in the country. That farriers are not in a sull'erin condition is proved by the fact that the values of farm buildings, farm imple- ments and farm stock are growing at an unprecented rate. From 1862 to 1887 the assessed value of farm building in ()'itirio increased from $132,000,000 to 8184,000,000, of implements frons 437,- 000,000 to $4;1,000,000, and of live atoclt from 480,000,000 to $104,000.000. While the bribers of this province have added *88,000.000 to the value of their buildings, implements and stock, Sir Richard implements tells us that they are in a suffering condition and running into debt. In the Globe's commercial column of Saturday we rend :- Large purchases of two -rowed barley have been made by xlur farmers this week. The local dealers report a brisk trade, and all the two - rowed barley they have been able to get has been contracted for. The British barley imported by the Dominion Government has also been distributed in small quantities. Opinion seems to differ as to the outcome of this change in seed, some being inclined to think that it can- not be grown satisfactorily in this Pro- vince on account of the short season. The market for this barley is in Britain and incase of its successful growth here a large trade would ensue. It is nut al- together an experiment, as some of our farmera have been in the habit of grow- ing a small amount of this barley yearly. (r.itutrama =mow Under the McKinley Tariff Bill in the States the duty on horses is proposed to be raised from $2o to $3o up to the value of $x5o; and five cents per dozen to be put on eggs. The probable effect of these imposts on the prices of Canadian products, is a question much dis- cussed, On one hand it is said that it will be tot ower the prices paid by buyers Ir. this country for the U. S. markets, and is therefore an ugly blow dealt at Canada. But the theory of the American tariff is less to hurt outsiders than to help the home farmers by rais- ing the prices of their commodities- The added duty of SIo on a horse is in order to raise the price of the animal by so much in the local market -to create a higher standard st ndard of value for it. If this does not re- sult, there is no more satisfaction to the U. S. horse breeder, and if it does result, there is no less profit to the Canadian breeder than be fore. Stephen, April 10th, 1890. Ma. EDITOR. -I suppose you are aware this has been a very sickly winter:' There have been many deaths, acid scareely any person escaped sickness of some sort. And, in order to guard against future decease, it is necessary that people should look well to their yards, cellars and surroundings general- ly ; otherwise, we will most assuredly, have fevers of some sort among us, and persons in office whose duty it is to look after the health of the community should do so without fear, favor or affection, because the community will not hold -such guiltless who thus neglect . the powers vested in them. Not only yards, streets and cellars should be attended tp; but other localities, to sec if any dead carcasses are around liable to decomposi- tion, as soon as warm weather comes, to notify the droners of such and to have the same buried or cremated an or before a stated time, otherwise they will he attended to at the expense of the owners.

The at- tendance of spectators was fairlygood, while the show of horses, was rather small, which, was no doubt owing in part to the wet weather and the fact of the show being too early in the season. Many horsemen had not their horses in shape.

Safe Threshing by Steam, The following communication which Appeared in the Empire some days ago, will be alike interesting to farmers and insurance companies. 13y means of the extra devices the engine can be placed at any quarter desired. In the event of the wind blowing from the west the engine may be placed any distance east of the barn, thus allowing smoke and sparks to blow from the building, assuring perfect safety from fire ; and at the same time the separator is worked with as little ease as if the engine were in a direct line :— To the Editor of The Empire. Sin,—I would like to call the attention of the farmers of this province, through the columns of your paper, to an experi- ment that is now being tried at our barns here at the present time, and which prom ises to save thousands of dollars to the farmers of this country when generally intordueed- I refer to an apparatus which enables threshing to be successfully done with a steam engine standing any distance away from the barn up to 500 feet or more if desired, and at any angle that maybe wished. onlyextra devices The xt area jack placed d J p at the desired distance from the barn door, very long in ease of a auddrive a carrier near the centre of the drive to support the endless rope which runs from the engine to the jack This apparatus has been running for several afternoons here and with the most complete success. Our engineer informs me that the power relished is considerably less than that required when the engine is stationary in its accustomed place in the engine house. This is owing to the feet that less gearing requires to be used 'with the apparatus I am .describing. .A further trial will be made of it at the barn here on the afternoon of Monday, the 24th inst., when we will test it in threshing peas, and the jack will then be also placed in a position where it would be impossible to work with one of the ordinary steam threshers. I may also mention that this invention is not covered by any patent, although consider it to be one of immense practical benefit to the farmers. During recent years thousands of dollars have • been lost to the farmers of the country through fire" arising from the use of steam threshers, inasmuch that the Legislaturehas been asked to compel parties by enactment to place their engine at least 100 feet from the barn. This in' roduction solves the whole diffi- culty I was asked by the inventors to consent that they be allowed to give it a trial here• and I atn so convinced of its utility and success that I have felt it my daty to let the farmers of this. country know in regard to it.
