FEBRUARY 22nd 1894 OTES AIM COMMENTS The Liberate have captured Lanark from. the Conservatives ; but a,s Mr. Wrigley, a prominent Patron, has pointed out, they would be better without it. More could have been gained by conciliating the Petrone than has been gained by Adding another vote to a parliamentary majority- already large enough. - X,,x x In North Bruce, where two Liberals Were in the Eold. the Conservatives could easily have elected their man had they held together. In Lanark, a hope lenily Conservative riding, the Liberals ----did keep their ranks closed and they did 'Win egeinst a divided enemy. Does this indieatie that the Liberals will enter the coming 'Cbett4e. st with forces better disciplined then thit of their oppon- ents ? x x Hard times are, made harder by the unnecessary economies cif people who have no need to retrench. But re- trenehment is the fashion. People who have extremely good cause to reduce expenses give up housekeeping or get along with fewer servants. Economy is contagious. A few economize from neceesity, and many fall into line from choice, or from fear of adversity, which will welter strike their hoaseholds, x x x It is expected that at the coming ses- sion of Parliament a bill will be intro- duced by the Government respecting irrigation matters in Manitoba and the Northwest Tearitories, having for its object the providing of means whereby irrigation companies can obtain neces- sary powers without having to come to Parliament for them. Sincelast session Hon. Kr. Daly has been giving the sub- ject considerable attention, and, it is hoped that a good workable bill will result from the reports and valuable in- formation which have been received at the Deparements x x x The Patrons of Industry in North Oxford will nob be behind their brother tillers of the Bonin other counties when election day comes around., On March 3 they will meet here and nominate a candidate to contest the North Riding against Sir Oliver Mowat, barrister of Toronto. When Sir Oliver gets through the next election in Noxth Oxford "he will know he has been to a race." The gentlemen who are favorably' mentioned its prospective candidates are Dr. R. Ross, of Embro, Ed. Caister, of' Tavis- tock, President of Oxford Patrons • Ex - warden E. L. Sutherland, of West Zona, Reeve Henderson of illanford, E. J. Person and C. Horsman, of East Nissouri.

This policy may be very briefly summar'neci. Mr. Mer- edith will not go to the extreme length of declaring thate,:lCatholics shall be denied the rigbt to private employment or public office he will not even ad- vocate the abolition of Separate Schools; but he will insist on equal rights to all and the restoration of the Schools of the minority to the place occupied at Con- federation, wieh the ballot added. He has, apparently, decided to let Prohib- ition remain in abeyance, pending the decision of the &nide, and meantime to insist upon a fair and, well-coneidered license law. He will ale° demand No further sale of timber without the con - lent of the Legislature ; the adoption of a policy for the eneouragenient of mining ; biennial seseiene and a reduct- ion in the number of Ministers, and the curtailment of the cost of gonernnaent generally. x x Canadian logs, from which paper is made, are admitted te the United.

The Privy Commit, if the case goes so tar, is almost certain to sustain that decision, The national eyetern of Man- itoba is safe. x x Referring to the Ontario Government the Patrons of Industry say it is not so much the fee ystem that is objected to. The objection is to the enormous emol- uments that are received under it. It is all right that'thoee who use the ser- vices of registrars or sheriffs should pay for these services in the form of fees. But these fees should form part of rhe public revenues, just as the sums receiv- ed for limuor licenses do now, and the registrars and sheriffs ought to be paid by salary, as are the license inspectors. Under this plan the scandal of paying Register Dickson $3.000, Sheriff W iddi- field $4,000 and Sheriff Gibbons $3,000 a year, for merely nominal services, would be put an end to, and every reasonable man would. be satisfied. Money in Hogs. Professor Robertson, of the Central Ex- perimental Farm, Ottawa, recently read a paper before the Central Farmer's Insti- tute, Toronto, on "Experiments on Hog Feeding." The Professor's idea is that the farms of Ontario and Quebec: should maintain a hog for every acre of cultivated land. The demand for hog products apparently grows the more it is catered to. Millions upon millions of dollars are an- nually poured into the Unieed States as the price of its exports of hogs in various shapes. The exports of Canada are also considerable, haying amounted to $1,100,- 000 in 1891-2. There is no doubt that the quantity could be largely increased were greeter attention given to this branch of rural industry. Prof. Robertson's address went to show this, and, in addition, to establish how existing conditions in grain markets and the spread of the deiry in- dustry tend to make a new departure, or rather enlarged efforts, on old lines, both practical and profitable. Prof. Robertson asserted that when hoes were fed on wheat Li was found that for every bushel of such wheat there was a gain of 9.1 pounds in the live weight. But, taking a better breed of animals and at a better age for making flesh, the gain was 15.46 lbs. per bushel of frozen wheat. Taking the year through, swine could be sold at fiye cents a pound ; and at that price, allovving even for shrinkage, the frozen wheat, by being used fos feed, was in one case made to real- ize a trifle Over.45 cents, audio the other case a fraction aver 73 cents per bushel. The bacon from mixed grains, and from wheat particularly, was of a ?ouch superior quality than that fromsta.rohy foods alone. He said also that experiments made at Ottawa pointed to ;the 'fact that the marketing of swine at weights varying from 150 lbs. to 200 lbs., live weight, would give a very much larger profit to the farmers than other weights, . The experience of packers is that hogs from 100 pounds to 160 pounds dressed weight, are the weights most in demand fur the export trade. Prof. Robertson showed that cross -bred swine gave a larger gain per pound feed (mourned than any of the thoroughbreds that had been tried at Ottawa. That, however, did not imply that they should not have thoroughbreds; it implied. the need of them lor introducing thoroughly good blood into the different animals, In feeding six pens of swine of different breeds he bad xeceived a valuable piece of information accidentally. In sorting these pens he selected a large pen of "runts" that did not seem to have much chance to gain. - They were ted on skimmed milk (about one half), waste of the farm and a little bread. After ten weeks they had gained one half more than the best pen of the others, which were fed on grain. He knew of nothing which was equal as a substitute for skimmed milk or butter milk to carry pins from the weaning stage to about 75 pottnae or 80 pounds weight. The creamertee that are being eataleliebed in so many sections produce these in large quantities. Dairyiug and hog raising cat be made to work together much tothe advantage of those directly concerned, But it was largely as Affording a profit - able means of marketing oats, peat, barley, and even wheat, that the most general raiding of hogs was urged. In what he seed in this reapect, Rrof. Robertson's ex- perience has been bourne out by that of others, " yd. Sunday School Convention at Centralia.

The interim estimates were laid before the House, The total amount of the esti- mates is $4,500,000, The House went into sapply immediately and passed the interim estimates. The Provincial Treasurer informed Mr. Clancy that the Public Accou.nts would be brought do wit in a few' days. TORONTO, Feb. 20. --Thea Speaker took the chair at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The following bills were introduced and read a first time: Mr. Tait—To amend the municipal act. Dr. Gilmour—To ex- empt homesteads, Dr. Gilmour — To abolish personal covenants in mortgage. Mr. Whitney—Respecting witness fees, Mr. Meredith—I waled like to ask the leader of the Government when we may expect any of the bills mentioned in the speech from the throne? Sir Oliver Mowat—Next week, some of them. Mr, Meredith enquired what had become of a return asked sor by Mr. llarter some two seesions ago regarding the number of commissioners appointed by the Govern- ment and the expenses connected there- with, and which had not yet been laid upon the table. There was no reason why there sheruld be any delay in bringing down the return. • Mr. Gibson replied that it was being prepared, arid if the members only had a little patience it would be down shortly. Dr. Ryerson gives notice of a bill to abolish all exemptions on church property. Dr. Ryerson gives notice of a bill to amend the Public School act, so as to pro- • vide for the amalgamation of the high echools and public schools. It proposed that all property in the possession of the High School Board shall pass under the ,control of the Public School Board, and -that after 1st January, 1895, all teachers nmployed at the high school shall be placed under the Public School Board. Hon. Mr. Gibson laid on the table the annual report of trustees of Upper Canada College. The statement of the bursar is the same, sets forth: " The trustees regret that the financial etatement of the college isnot as satisfactory as they would desire. The receipts for the year 1892-3 show a de- crease of 38,305.95 as compared with the year 1891-2. The entire revenue of the college in 1891-2 was 346,253.20, and in 1892-3 337,977.25. In our report of last year we were able to make the gratifying announcement that the college, out of its own resources, and without eteny, endow- ment or publio aid whatever, showed a surplus of 34,000 over and above expendi- ture. This year we regret to announce a deficit of $7,681.15, arising mainly from the reduced attendance of boys in resi- dence, the number of 1891-2 being 165, and in 1892-3, 138. The reduotibn in at- tendance, in the opinion of your board, was owing to several causes! First, the financial depression which prevailed throughout the province ; secondly, the increase in the number and effi- ciency of the high schools and collegiate institutes of the province during the last few years; thirdly, the establishment of a number of additional residential schools for boys; fourthly, the opening of two large collegiate Institutes in Toronto, where formerly there was but one. In view of the redueed atten lance, your beard has very carefully considered hew beat to maintain the financial standing of the college. Two courses were open: one to secure, if possible, an increased attend- ance, and the other to effect a substantial reduction in the expenditure. So long as the financial depression lasts your board is of the opinion that the attendance et the college can not be very largely increased. Care, however, has been taken to place its advantages as -a residential school before' the country, both by circular and by ad- vertieement. Should the attendance of the first two terms of the present academic year continue, the college will have an assured become of $34,000, and tarffig the expenditure of the first six months of the financial year as •a basis the total eX- rienditure for the whole yeer should not exceed $33,000. eloilees of Questions.

Came to a Young Alan in St. Catharines. ST, CATHARINES, Feb. 19.—A terrible accident occurred at the McKinnon's hard- ware factory on Saturday morning from which Thomas Feeney, a lad of about 11 years of age, was so badly injured that he died a few hours afterwards. The unfortunate lad was: minding the japan oven and, tvithoot any warning, it exploded. The oven requires to be watched closely or the gas will generate quickly and explode, as was the case sev- eral years ago when -a young man named Copeland lost his life by the same means. The building in which was the japan oven is only lightly constructed and the force of the explosion was so great that the room was almost completely wrecked, The roof and,a portion of the walls, which are only the thickness of a brick, were blown out. Young Feeney was badly mangled by the explosion. His side was torn open and his liver was disrupted. • He was taken to his home, where he died soon after. The deceased -leas a son of Mr. Thomas Feeney, of Vine street. He was a quiet young man, and his sad end causes a dew e iegret in the city. INCENDIARISM IN GEORGETOWN. Dart „Campbell's Brother -in -Law Again Suffers Lees by Fire. GEORGETOWN, Out., Feb. 19.—A d*ell- ing house owned by N. Brown, of Glen; williams, was discovered to be on fire on Saturday morning, Citizens turned out promptly, but the flames had made such headway that the building was doomed and they turned their efforts to saving the large hotel close beside it. They succeeded in saving the hotel. N. Brown is brother- in-law of the deceased Dan Campbell. Brown took an active part in assisting the Crown in trying to run down Campbell's assailants. This is the seeond dwelling house that has been burnt on Brown's place since the Campbell investiga- tion began.

Another, for the closing up of the free library was defeated by 66 majority. A meeting of apple buyers and exporters of Ontario was held in Toronto yesterday, and it was decidee to organize an associa- tion for the improvement of the system of carrying on the business. .„ At the Ontario Legislature yesterday Mr. Comnee, member for West Algoma, gave notice that he would introduce a bill to provide for the election of members of Separate School Hoards by ballot.
