The principal features of the Budget
speech pe h o f Col. . Matheson were :—
In the event of, the reciprocity
agreement being passed Ontario will
lose a great proportion of the West-
ern trade, particularly in view of the
intention of the Grand Trunk Pacific
to obtain running rights over the
Tetniskaming and Northern Ontario
Railway.
The total estimates for the year are
$11,304,361, and the total estimated
expenditures, including $2,641,000 on
capital account are $10,283,787..
The increase in the succession duties
during the year amounted to
$180,000,
The excess over estimates of the

was $80,000.
In all cases except the Temiskaming

has exceeded the estimates. In the
case of the Government railway there
was a falling off in receipts below
estimates of $205,000.
The province can now show assets
of $24,000,000 against liabilities of
$22,000,000,

ASSISTANCE IN DRAINAGE.
Some Truth Ia It.
Referring to tariff diecuseloes, the
Toronto 'Telegram says :—"Oanada
has been mainly the site of a debating
echool dedicated to discussion on the
relative merits of free trade and pro-
tection. Farming, store -keeping and
manufacturing have been mere side
issues --Swedish agriculture goes in
for seed selection and raises seventy
bushels of wheat to the acre on corn
paratively sterile but well -drained
soil.. Canadian agriculture listens to
Capt. W. L. Smith of Dir, E. 0,
Drury talk tariff, leaves the seed to
select itself, and reaps twenty bus. of
wheat to the acre from wonderfully
fertile but largely undrained soil,"
•
In July 1009 the Department of
Physics at the 0. A. C. prepared a
plan of drains for a 52 acre block of
land that had never grown a crop—it
was too wet. The drains were laid
that autumn. In 1910 that 52 acres
yielded potatoes and corn to the value
of $2250. The farm lies within five
miles of the city of London. Why
had this land lain useless for genera-
tions? Perhaps the previous owners
thought it could not be drained—as a
matter of fact it was a difficult prob.
lem, for this land was very flat and
the outlet poor. Perhaps they did not
believe drainage would pay—this one
crop should convince them. Or per-
haps they believed in drainage, but
did not know just how to undertake
such extensive drainage operations.
The Ontario Agricultural College is
endeavoring to help those in doubt
about drainage. Any farmer in On-
tario wishing assistance in his drain-
age problems may have the same by
making application to the Depart-
ment of Physics, 0.11A., Guelph. As
soon as possible after receipt of the
application a -drainage adviser is sent
to make a survey of the land, after
which he makes a complete map
showing the location of the drains,
the grade, size of tile, . etc, When
completed the map is sent to the
owner, so that he has an accurate
guide to follow in putting in his
drains. As in previous years, the
only outlay to the farmer is the
necessary travelling expenses of one
man in connection with the survey.
The railways give a rate of a cent a
mile for this work, so that the travel-
ling expenses are light.
After one survey in each locality a
Drainage Demonstration is held right
in the field, to which all the neighbors
are invited. At this meeting simple
methods are demonstrated of making
a drainage survey, finding the fall of
a ditch, determining the grade, dig-
ging to grade, etc.
Those wishing to make application
for a survey should write the Deps 't-
ment of Physics, 0. A. C., Guelph,
whereupon regular application forms
will be sent.
A Marriage Regulation.
The looseness of the marriage tie
in the United States is frequently
commented on, and yet the most dras-
tic marriage bill ever presented to any
legislature has been drawn for presen-
tation to the Colorado Assembly. It
has the support of the four women
members of the legislature. The bill.
provides for physical examination,
and requires a clean bill of health be-
fore entering into the marriage state,
It denies the right of marriage to per-
sons afflicted with tuberculosis or
other constitutional communicable
diseases. Confirmed drunkards and
those who are users of drugs also are
barred, as well as those engaged in in -
fatuous callings.

The Money Goes.
According to a return of the Post
Office Department to -day, Canadians
during the past year sent to Great
Britain and its possessions and other
European countries 750,000 money
orders, representing upwards of $13,
000,000, or an increase of 35 per cent,
over the previous year. All this
money passes through the depart-
ment at. Ottawa. Money to the
United States and South America
goes direct from the sender to receiver
so no official record of the amount is
kept at Ottawa. The money sent
across the ocean is principally to
relatives or immigrants. Immigrants
must find success here, or so much
money could not be sent back to the
old land in one year.

Mrs. B. E. Bodwell, of 337 Pro.
vomiter Ave., St. Boniface, Winnipeg,
says ;— "Some time ago my children
took diphtheria, and while attending
them the poison entered a small scratch
on the second finger of my loft hand.
This became veryaoro and blood -poison-
ing soon set in. For months after the
children were quite well I was suffer-
ing from a shockingly ball finger. The
scratch was caused originally by a pin,
and in itself, was not at all serious.
The consequences, however, of neglect-
ing this soratoh,wero very serious tomo.
When the blood -poisoning set MI tried
poultices and a salve I had in the house.
These, however, did not have tho desired
effect. Quito on the contrary tho finger
became more and more swollen and dis-
colored. It then began to fester, and I had
to call In a doctor. He lanced the finger
to let out the pus, and you can imagine
how painful the finger wast Despite his
care, however, it again,festorod and the
elements, liniments, and other prepara-
tions which the doctor gave mo seemed
absolutely unable to bring about any relief.

"As I look back over my life," said
a prominent farmer of Frontenac Co.,
Ont., recently to an editor of I+arin

is, while during the years that have
gone, li would have made much more
from the sale of my surplas stock and
