A despatch from Ottawa says:--
The agricultural estimates occupied
tete attention of the House of Com-
mons in committee on Friday, to the
exclusion of everything else. Items
totalling 33,320,000 were carried in
the committee, The item of 3900,000
for development of the live stock in-
dustry was left over by consent.
In speaking' to the estimates, Dr.
Tolr.xie, the Minister of Agriculture,
emphasized, the necessity of better
.farming methods, and said that with
those methods in general use an esti-
mated annual increase from grain and
potatoes eould be secured of 3233,-
211,082. The need for better educe -
tion, he pointed out, was imperative.
He said the Government intended
to extend the system of experimental
farms, the value of whichto the coun-
try was incalculable.

The members of the little Parlia-
