counties do not vary ram% in the pro-
portion of returns from this cause. It
is very generally acknowledged by the
most eininent physicians, that one ira-
rtant and prolific cause, and probably
e principal cause ,of tleis disease, is
the breathing of foul air, but ospecialli
that rendered foul and poisonous by
respiration ; and this more especially in
oonnection with sedentary 'habits.
Furthermore, it is found to be most
prevalent in localities with wet un -
'lied soil, least so in high, mountain-
ous, well -drained districts. It has been
found by the Registrar -General's re -
turas for a period of ten years, that in
the'elevated granite region of Dartmoor,
in Devonshire, England, the death rate
from it was only 0-78 per 1,000 liv-
ing, while in England generally it was
2-47 per 1,000.
Th,e School Question.
To the Editor of the Huron Expositor.
SIB: As the school question appears
to be the all important eubject of the
day with our members for East and
South Hurou,Ifor one worild beg to differ
from Mr. Bishop who appears to think
his awn views infallible. I do not be-
lieve in the infallibility of any Arch
Bishop, and especially in those views
held by Mr. Archibald Bishop, of Hu-
ron. I, therefore, have a right to ex-
press my views on a subject without be-
ing -
upbraided as splitting my hair in
the middle (equivalent to saying brain-
less) and smoking a cigar and living on
other men's money. I am not guilty of
any of these reprehensible practices.
First, Mr. Bishop thinks the
law gives the Inspectors too mach ,
power for constructing school houses
and play grounds. Can he point out a
school house or play ground in Huron,
too large or commodious Or anything
about them not needed for the instrtm-
Uon of the young? • The curriculum
contains too many subjects in his opin-
ion. I wish to know it the pupils are
not as far advanced in the three rules he
would teach as he was at the same age,
notwithstanding the other branches are
taught to boot. Children may prepare
their lessons as many hours at home as
they wish, the law recommends no less
aiane than stated. I consider these two
points contain all his speech. As to Mr.
Gibson callipering Teachers' salaries at
. $750, teaching on an average three days
in the week to the workingmen on farms
toiling from sunrise to sunset, why not
tell about those members getting $800 a
year for evening sittings for about six
weeks in the year, and compare them
with farmers perspiring in the field.
Each school section can hire a teacher
for his value, and the law provides that
be must be qualified to give that value;
but each county isnot left at its option
what to pay its members, and the law
. does not provide that they are to be ea -
i
pable f delivering a speech, seeing
throug a millstone or anything else.
While some may be worth double that
amount, others are not worth eight hun-
dred cents, either to the country or
themselves. why does not the Govern-
ment take a lesson from the school law,
and pay each inember his value, or al-
low his constituency to do it? He fur-
ther thinks the present school system
drives young men \ from the farm. I
contend it only gives a Man the privi-
lege to follow that pursuit best adapted
to his talents. Many a man following
the plow would grace our Legislative
halls, if he had received an education in
his youth such as our country is now
giving. Mr. Gibson thieae ministers,
lawyers, doctors and merchants as of no
value to the country. What would the
country be without these I would like to
know? He thinks farmers are getting
tea good an education. He did not
surely go for an Agricultural Fairly'.
Does not a farmer need just as good an
education as any other calling? As a
proof of well educated, farmers I refer
hire to Senators Brown and Cochrane,
and all the best farmers in England and
the United States. I can find as many
idle farm laborers in the County of Hu-
ron as Mr. Gibson can find of ' all ether
callings put together, who if they pos-
sessed a fair education would be worth
more on the farm than the way they
are. Hoping Township Boards of Trus-
tees will become what Mr. Gibson terms
arbitrary law, I am a supporter of the
Minister of Education, although follow-
ing none of those unneeded callings or
teaching, but a sympathizer and

Fat Cattle at the 'Ontario Model
Farra.
The following statement of a student
regarding the feedirtg of stock at the On-.
tario Model Farm may prove of interest
to some of ourreaders: "The cattle com-
prise, in all, 12 head, 4 being our own
raising, the remainder having been ob-
tained at -the required time. They were
put in the stalls onthe first day in Nov-
ember, al the average age of 30 months,
and will continue there nntil the last of
March. The daily amount of food given
to each teniraal consists of 114 lbs of
pulped turnips, 12 lbs of cut straw and
15 Ibs of orushedlndian corn. Comput-
ing the cost of these at respectively 13,
13 and 12 cents, and. supposing the value
of raanure to cancel the wages of the
workmen, we find the average dailycost
to be 28 cents. This continued. for 150
days gives us the total cost of keeping
an animal as $42`. The average weight
per head. on entering was 1,200 lbs,whieh
being bought at the rate of 4 cents per
lb, equals ft48 as their price. This, in
addition. to the cost of keeping, gives $90,
as the average sum expended on each
animal. The average increase per day
Jo fully 8 lbs, and supposing this rate to
continue until the expiration of the time
the average weight of emelt animal at
the time of selling will be 1,060 Ms
wbioh sold at the rate of 0 cents per Ib,
•will give 118 099, being a profit of 19 per
hoe&
