EDITORAL NOTES.
THERE is something very droll in
the Liberal organs discussing who
shall lead the Ceeservati;-es in.
Federal politics. The preset t lead-
er, time Lord willing, will assuredly
be tie man. The displacement of
Sir John ,l:tc lora: axil as leader of
the t. oose'rv::tive party las not
been c• eat mplatel. lie is well ad-
vaitced in sears, Dalt, li to Glad -
store. Ltiemarck and other great
political leaders et these days, he
seems to be endowed with a won-
derful vitality, and to possess re
serves of physical and mental Vigor,
which set their interested prognosti-
catiGtrs,at defiance.
I3 nee been announced by some
of the Reform papers that the
Dominion general election will take
place next October. T"tiis author-
ity is net quite trustworthy. There
is a very good reason, as anyone
C0.11 see, valy the elections will not
take place at that date, or sooner
than e e2. This Parliament was
elected in February, x 'S7. Its
natural life is for five years. The
census will be taken in 1S9r. On
the results the representation for
the next decade will be b ised.
Nobody surely is so verdant as to
imagine that so able a politician as
Sir John Macdonald would deprive
himself ot the opportunities these
considerations present. No. The
Dominion general election will not
take place till after the cession ot
1891, which must of necessity be
late and shirt. Otherwise, there
must be something in the wind, of
which the vanes as yet give no iu-
dications.
IN Ontario as in Manitoba, the
prospects of a good yield of wheat,
barley and other cerials are bright,
the only crop, if any, which will be
light, being oats. It is said to be
a remarkable thing that whenever
there is a good hay crop, oats al-
ways come short. The best hay
crop taken in years has been stack-
ed this year and it will not cost
much to carry stock through the
winter, But, in view of the fact
that the Nortnwest promises to be
a great grain producer, is it wise
for Ontario farmers to give su much
of their attention to grain ? Would
it not pay better to give less atten-
tion to it and more to the breeding
of cattle and sheep ? The demand
for lambs this season has been
great and, the supply could not
meet it, and that fact, one would
think, would justify farmers in see-
ing a profitable return in lamb
raising, The untitled land in this
province, if all together, would
make an enormous tract. Some of
it in the older sections has been
worked out, perhaps, and what
better use of this land could be
made than to turn it into sheep acid
cattle runs until its fertility is re-
stored ? We hear of a successful
venture in a horse ranch near Hali-
burton, where the land is said to
be excellent, and a large sheep
ranch is talked of in Muskoka,
showing that attention is turning
to the raising of stock. The North-
west will ultimately be the great
wheat region of the world, and as
the lands in Ontario become ex-
hausted so that the amount of grain
they produce is on a descending
scale, the farmers will have to look
around for other means of increas-
ing the return, and cattle raising
seems to offer a way. If every acre
in Ontario was made productive, as
is the case in France and other
countries where land is appreciated,
Ontario would be a mine of wealth
and would be overflowing with
population.

It is not surprising ,that people
should dissimulate when they
come to deal•withthe assessor. Men
will endeavor to get out of paying
taxes if they can, at any rate they
feel justified in paying as little as
possible. But what right has an
assessor to ask a citizen what he
pays in the way of rent ? What
is he an assessor for ? Is it not to
assess ? Then let him assess, ask
no questions and he will be told no
lies. It he assesses right or any–
where near right, his judgment will
scarcely be called in question. 1f
be assesses wrong, the citizen affect.
ed has a remedy. There should be
no question as to who pays the
taxes, They must come out of the
man who pays the rent, therefore
the landlord should be held respells.
ible. He has his grip on the
ground, and the law has its grip on
him. The tenant is a bird of pass-
age, of whom the assessor ought to
have no knowledge. In fact, it is
simpler and better that the law
Khoauld only deal with one person—
the owner. He may be trusted to
look after his own interests. The
only true remedy for this awkward
state of affairs, which is not credit-
able to a self respecting people, is
if we may believe the political
economists, the adoption of the
stngle tax system. It would
simplify matters wonderfully, ob
viate a vast amount of falsehood
and secure prompt payment.
F. F. 1' RANKLAND, the well.
known Toronto cattle exporter, has
been iu England for sante time, and
has written many letters to the
Canadian papers, in which be de-
plores the rapidly increasing trade
of sending Canadian store cattle to
be fed in England and Scotland.
He has been grieved to see that in
every market that he has visited
cattle of good breed and shape, but
only half fed, which ought to have
been kept at home until they well
fed and then shipped for the home
market as prime beef. The Can-
adian farmer is put to all the
trouble and expense of raising and
partially feeding his stock, he then
sells his cattle in this condition ;
they are shipped to the Old Country
and the farmers there finish the
fattening process, and reap all the
profit. Mr. Frankland rightly
argues that these cattle should be
fed here. In a letter dated the 15th
July Mr. Frankland thus puts the
matter in a very strong light,
which ought to receive the careful
consideration of our farmers :—To-
day in Edinburgh I saw a pen of
Canadian steers that a farmer from
Ross shire bought in Glasgow Iast
November for'I4. lits each, sold
by the firm of John Swan & Sons
for £25 each• The Scotch farmer
simply set to work in a sensible
manner aid did the work the Can-
adian neglected to do, viz : finished
and fattened the animals and reap.
ed the profit. This plain truth, T
trust, will teach a lesson to the
farmers of Canada. They should
prepare, fatten and finish every
animal that crosses the Atlantic.
Rest assured that the rich lands of
Ontario can produce animals fit to
hold their own in all and every
competition for Britain's food trade.
Mr. Thos. Macfarlane, chief
Government analyst, has issued
bulletin No. 16, the subject of
analysis this time being butter.
The analyses were undertaken be-
cause reports were in circulation
that artificial butter was being
manufactured in Canada, and had
been offered for sale in Ottawa.
The result of the enquiries and
analysis was to disclose that no
foreign butter could be obtained in
Canada by the agents of the depart-
ment, and no oleomargarine- was
found. The tables give the names
of the vendors and of the makers,
the proportions bf water, butte;:
fat, salt and curd, the specific grav-
ity, and the rancidity in degrees,
with marginal remarks when ' the
sample is below the standard.
Samples were gathered from twenty-
five or thirty places in the Eastern
Provinces, Quebe.c•. and Ontario.
Among ,the, iso samples examined
there are 33 to the quality of which
exception has been ,taken,. on 'ac
count of rancidity or a deficiency
in butter fat. The latter defect is,
in other vvords n•''
„ a excessive per
centage of water and salt. Semples
of oleoinargarine obtained frons
Messes: 'Armour & Cd., Chicago,
were analyzed and compared with
a sample of freshgrass butter and.
(a sample of tub butter. Mr. Mac-
farlane draws a lesson from the per-
centage of rancidity in the various
samples. He says : The results
here recorded also give rise to some
considerations which ought to in-
terest the producers of, butter in
Canada, and which may with ad-
vantage be mentioned here. It
will be seen that fresh grass butter
possesses acidity of only o.8°,
whereas tub butter shows 6°, and
during long aud' perhaps .careless
storage and extreme rancidity of
264 can be reached. On the other
hand, the oleomargarines test only
14 to I.7�, and are said • to keep
very well, and to have the advant-
age of butter in this respect. This
is no doubt owing to the care be-
stowed upon their manufacture in
large andwell appointed factories.
So long as Canadian butter con-
tinues to be made in small dairies
there is not likely to be much im-
provement in quality. If the
home market is to be supplied with
a better article, and exportation is
to be attempted, it will, without
doubt, be found that this can only
be done successfully by the adop-
tion of a co-operative system of
making butter in factories, such as
now exctusively exist in Deumark.

One of the rusticators at Gland Bend,
in writing to the Parkhill Gazette, has
this to say of a few of the Exetorites
who are camping at the lake : Passing
down on the same side of Broadway the
tent of the "Exeter Sandpipers" is
reached. This palatial hall is constructed
from the rarest material and is gorgeous
in every particular. Notwithstanding
the elegance of their mansion, the
"Sandpipers" are a jovial lot of fellows
and will be sadly missed when they pull
up stakes. This happy family of mu-
sicians consists of 1Ir. John Gould. land-
lord ; Mr, Luther Gill, chief cook and
elarionet player; Mr. Will Browning,
chambermaid and ,all-round musician ;
Mr. Frank Oka. catererand'vocalist, and
Mr. Herbert Johns, wood gatherer, pic-
colo player and club swinger. A hand-
some laundrybasbeen establisheddirectly
in front of their tent whore bathing suits
can always be borrowed by any visitor
who wishes to Help make the lake water
unsuitable for culinary purposes.
The (:rain
Opinions
r-
Opinions still vary en the grain tester
question in farming and milling circles,
relative to the fairness of the testers
now in use of the capacity of one•six-
teenth part of a bushel. The principal
of the grain tester is perfectly correct,
and refers to the density or automatic
weight, which may be the same in both
large and small kernels. But supposing
density to be the same, then the ques-
tion arises, which would weigh the moat?
Of course the large wheat will have
larger spaces between the kernels than
the small wheat, but on the other hand
it will not have so many of them. This
phase of the tester question is similar to
the old ono, of which will weigh the
most, a quart of small or large shot?
Mathematically this can be answered for
the shot, but not for wheat, with its ir-
regular shape, for it will not and cannot
pack itself in mathematical closeness.
You may fill a measure with large and
with small wheat and pourin 'water, and
observe which takes up the most, The
real trouble with the small testers, 1-16
part of a bushel, is that the ratio of the
circumference of a small tester to its
whole capacity is far greater than it is in
a large tester. say half a bushel. For
in the small tester, as the seeds rest
against the wall of the measure must
leave between the points where the cir-
cumferences of the seeds touch each
other on the aides next to the wallof the
tester unfilled spaces thatwould be partly
filled by the circumference of the seeds
fitting between these unoccupied spaces.
if there was no outside wall it follows as -
a mathematical certainty that the ratio
of the unoccupied spaces in the small
tester, or one•sixteenth part of a bushel,
will be greater than in a half bushel.
The result is that the small tester will
show a lighter weight of seed than the
measure indicates. However, the prin-
ciple of ascertaining the quality of wheat
by a tester is fair and equitable to both
buyer and seller, and is the only real
means by which the density and merits
of wheat can be realized ; but let the
large measure be used.
