eeting of the Central Feriners
Institute at Toronto a hornet's nett Was
stirred up by the introduction of political
sues,
A Motion by Memo, Beallip and Iiebin-
son, that the policy ot free trade, as pro -
in Great Britain, is benefictal to Can -
da, brought out a protracted debate.
Mr. liettelip advocated the abolition of
• all duties en necessaries of life, and the
taieing et thereeenue by duties On luxuries.
Alter several oi the faithful had adve-
eatecl the free trade motion, Ain Walker
said he regretted that Olio question of tree
trade had been hatroduced, The trade
question M the last election was the divid-
ing line between the two parties. BIS said
it was no place to dismiss volitive' quell-
tiona,
Mr, Cummings spoke inlayer of the free
trade motion,
Mr, Ohatabere also:Awl to the alsonestion
as thti Institute is an inetitution supported
by public money,
Mr. White said Ole was the iirst time be
had attended an inetitute meeting, and he
was disgusted at the turn affaire had
taken, If free trade prevailed nothing was
left but direct taxation, and he, as a farmer
objeetodlo that.
Mn gells vigorously protested against
the disoteision of these questions in the
'Farmers' Institute, tie had been s mem-
ber Since the organization of the institute,
but it these questions were to be discussed
continually the Conservatives would leave
the institute.
After some further discussion an amend-
ment was moved by Messrs; Hamlry and
jamiegon that the delegation representing
the Central Institute at Ottawa impress on
the Government that the institute favors
the application of the principles of free
trade with all countries as far as possible,
consistent with the necessities of reverent
and the general interest of the country.
This was carried.

• In the fiscal year 1892 the Ontario
Government collected $665,609.10
the License Aot machine. Of this
t289.487.41 was paid to the municipal-
ities. The sum which went into the
provincial treasury was 8800,704.38.
The salaries and expenses of inspectors
and commissioners amounted to $59,-
193.09, and the sundries or miscellan-
eous expenditure of inspectors and
commissioners amounted to $416,320,62.
In additpu to the sums collected by the
government the municipalities imposed

This is a decrease of $114,000 as com-

diture for the month was $5,553,749, as
contrasted with $5,347,890. The ex-
penditure on capital account for the
seven months is $3,108,291, as compar-
ed with $2,276,364. The total net debt
on January 31 was $241,972,351, an in-
crease of $2,377,163 in the month. This
increase is due to the payment of inter-
est on the debt and the six months'

From field exPeriments carried on at
the Agricultural Experiment Station,
Purdue University, Indiana, reported in
Bulletin 6fi, extending over ten years, it
appears that none of the varieties of
wheat tried have any tendency to • de-
teriorate or "run out," provided proper
care is exercised. No wheat proved to
be "rust -proof," but early wheats were
generally less injured by rust thau later
kinds. Eight peeks of seed per acre
gave the best returns at the' station, the
average yield for nine years being 80.85
bushels per acre: The best results came
from so wings made not later than Sept.
20. The value of crop roe,ationin main-
teining yields of grain has been strongly
emphasized, for a comparison of rotating
crops with constant grain cropping for
seven years showed an average gain of
5.7 bushels per acre in favor of the
former. Another important result ob-
tained was that wheat may be harvested
at anytime from the dough stage to the
dead -ripe condition, without appreciably
affecting the weight or yield of the grain.
A comparison of fertile of nitrogen as
fertilizers for wheat indicated that sul-
phate of ammonia is better than nitrate
of soda or dried blood.

Mr. Allan McDougall, secretary of the
Canadian Institute, in opening the meet-
ing, said he was pleased to greet the dele-
gates, and hoped the results of the meet-
ing would bs that substantial progress
would be made. He gave a short and
concise account of the program of the
convention, and the events which led up
to it. He spoke of the increasing interest
which was being taken in the question of
• good roads, as evinced by the instructive
articles which are now inepearing in the
press and elsewhere. He defined the Can-
adian Institute as a body devoted to the
practical advancement of mankind . in
everyday life as well and in the more ob-
tuse sciences. It age • of 45 years had
given it a privilege of those present to-
gether to condones in an obtainable know-
ledge the scattered information as to roads.
He recounted as some of the triumphs of
the Institute, the saving to the city of the
Magnectic Observatory, now the best fitted
institution of its kind in the world, the re-
establishment of the geological survey,
and the agitation for the use of the tele-
graph for collecting weather reports. The
public highways of a country were as the
veins and arteries of a body, and were just
• as important end needful. The extension
of electric railways to the conntrk districts
would aid greatly and improve personal
locomotion end the trensport of light
freight, but the heavy staele articles would
still require the highway for transporta-
tion.
• Mr. Andrew Pettit°, cf the Woodetook
Sentinel -Review, wfio hat been a vigorous
and long-coutenned advocate of good
roads, was untinimously elected chairman,
and Mr. Allan McDougall, secretary. Mr.
Patullo read ton interesting and able paper
on practical roads. He has given much
time to theconsideration of this particular
work, and his suggestions were the result
of information obtained by practical ex-
perience. • The best material for road con-
struction, the effect and value of statute
labor and other items bearing on the ques-
• tion were reviewed.
The present system in Canada is that of
statute labor. It is a system which may
have done well enough in the old pioneer
days, but whittle has long outlived its use-
fulness,and should be modified at once. In
time it must be replaced by more rational
and intelligeot methods, and a general
system capable of producing good results.
For his law business, for his barn -building,
for medical treatment, for his cheese mak-
ing, a farmer employs competent experts;
for building his roads, over which he must
drive his family and take his produce to
market, he places his w ork in the hands
of those 'who know nothing of the prin-
ciples of road -building and whose appoint-
ment has usually more reference to muni-
oipal politioe than to their fitness for the
place.
• Wen Mr. Paton) had finished, he was
warmly applauded by the convention.
A general discussion on the best means
of improving the present roadways fol.
lowed. Every delegate was severe in his
criticism of the existing system of statute
labor. •
In, the afternoon a valuable paper on
"The Management, Corstruction and Im-
• provement of Common Roads, was pre-
sented to the meeting and created spirited
debate.
The present plan of statute labor came
in for considerable discussion, the unani-
mous opinion being that they had
served their turn, and that for the further
betterment of our higowaya some other
plan must be adopted.
Then fot owed the election Of officers,
which ressuLed as follows:— -
President, A. Pettullo • First Vice -Presi-
dent, J. F, Beam, Black Creek; Second
Vice -President, A. P. McDougall, West
Middlesex ; Secretary -Treasurer, X, • W.
McKay, St. Thomas. An executive com-
mittee was formed, in which the different
sections of the ,province are ably repro-
• gented.
It was doeicled to form good roads coma -
oils for each county, to be appointed by
the executive committee.
A number of resolutions relating to the
subject in hand were read and referred to
committee on the reeort of which they
were further referred to the executive.
A vote of thank e was tendered the Hon.
Mr. Dryden for the interest he displayed
in the week, to which the Minister re.

worthiness of their e.torts and assuring

Two Youths, Arrested in Savoie, Break

It appears that of late several lobberiee
have been committed in Port Huron, print
oipally in residences, watches, diamonds

was secured as to the whereabouts of some
articles with a pawnbroker here; which
led to the detection of the thieves, Whit-

DR. DOUGLAS DEAD.
The wen -Known Methodist Divine Sfie-
°maths to His Illness.
MONTREAL, Feb. 12.—Rev. Dr. Douglas
• died on Saturday afternoon. Two weeks
ago his feet were amputated and this super-
induced death.
Probably the best known figure in
Methodist circles in Canada was Rev. Dr.
Douglas. The 'veteran lost his sight early
in life when working as a missionary in
Jamaica. Undeterred by this adverse for-
tune, young Douglas maintained his
studies and 'was soon called to the ministry.
As a professor in the Wesleyan College he
was well known. His eloquence was of
much value to- the church, for as a raiser
of funds the 'Blind Man Eloquent" was
most successful.
Dr. Douglas was a Scotohman by birth,
and was born in 1825. He entered the
Methodist ministry in Canada in 1849 and
was ordained in '1851. During his min-
istry he was stationed at Toronto, Hamil-
ton and Montreal, occupying the pulpits of
nearly all the leading Methodist churches.
He was elected president of the general
conferences of the Methodist Church in
1879, and was also for many years chair-
man of the Montreal conference.

with Being Intoxicated.
VICTOR/A, B.O., Feb. 12.—According to
advices received per the royal mail steamer
Arawa, which arrived yesterday, an excit-
ing scene occurred in the New South
Wales Legislature.
When the new session opened and while
Mr, Copeland, Minister for Lands, was
speaking, a labor member rose to a
point of order that the Minister being in-
toxicated should not be allowed to address
the House. Mr. Copelend demanded an
apology, and added; "You ecoundrel,
wring your neck if you give me a chance."
To put his.threat into execution he rushed
across the floor to get at Hindle, and was
with difficulty restrained from a violent
assault. The Speaker ordered Mr. Cope -
land's removal . from the Rome and the
galleries were 'cleared of spectators.

HON. ARCHIBALD M'KELLAR.
The Long and 'Useful Career of Went -

of the death of the Hon, Archibald Mc-
Kellar, sheriff of the County of 'Went-
worth, which occurredon Sunday morn.'
lug, was unexpected, • although he had
been a sufferer for some time. He had
been in the city hospital for about a week,
but on Saturday seemed to have been
much better. On Saturday night, how-
ever, he became much, worse and early on
Sunday morning his' wife and son were
summoned. He retained consciousness
until within an hour of his death.
Archibald McKellar was born in Argyle -
shire, Scotland, on February 3, 1816, his
father being Mr. Peter McKellar, in his
early days a shepherd in the Highlands'
and afterwards a pioneer in Canada. In
the spring of 1817 deceased was brought
to this country, reaching Queenston, then
•
the western limit of civilization, late in
.Augnst. The late Sheriff's parents settled
in the township of Aldborough. Mr. Mc-
Kellar got his early education in the Gram-
mar school at Niagara, and afterwards at-
tended a more advanced school in Geneva,
New York. The year 1837 found him
still at the old home, and when the trouble
of that year broke out he volunteered his
services against the Mackenzie movement.
In that year his father's family moved. to

You faithfully loved me to the last.
Weep not fer me, nor sorrow take,
But love our Wellington.for my sake.

And you shall meet your mother again.

For we shall meet to more
