Some Things People Ought to
, Know.
!DEAR EXPOSITOR,—Readera are told
many things by paid lecturers and doctors
net quite true. During the last 28 years I
have heard, at Dairy Associations and at
F.armers' Institute meetings, men paid to
give instruotion state that cows should be
rriilked with dry hands and not wet the
teens, as it was a dirty trick and tainted the
nink. I claim such is not the ease. The
natural way for a cow to be • milked is by
the oalf sucking, and who ever saw a calf
suck a dry teat? I have milked now over
62 years and fried both ways,- and •a cow
well milk easier with wet teats than dry
ones, and I think will give more milk be-
cause it is the natural way. If cows are
kept clean and brushed and not have an
inch deep of manure on their hips and ud.
der, and if any dire, wash them with warm
water, and the wetted teats are cleaner
than dry ones.
Another theory sent abroad by doctors
and board of health specialists is that milk
and flesh of cows with tuberculosis will give
consumption to those' using them. Dr.
Oslar, of John Hopkine Institute, says it is
the merest ohance of getting consumption
from the milk of such cows, and there is no
danger of taking consumption from the
meat whatever, and Dr. Oster is one of the
best authorities on the continent.
A few years ago the Dominion Govern-
ment and - °Mario Government killed a
number of cattle supposed to have been af-
feoted with tuberculosis in Germany. At
the Experimental farm, they fatted them,
had the meat inspeCted and sold and lost
nothing. It was thus proved that the
calves of tuberculosis animals are no more
likely to take the disease than others of
equal conseitution if kept apart from those
affected. It has also been proven that child-
ren will not inherie consumption if they
have good constitution. With all our
education and doctors posted in bacteria,
and large eateries paid the provincial board
of! health, we have more Consumption now
tban 40eyeare ago in proportion to popula-
tion. About 200 die in Ontario every
month, or 1 to every 1,000. More die from
cOnsumption than from scarletina, measles,
whooping cough, diphtheria, typhoid fever
arid smallpox all together ; and the _board
of! health are very anxious about the latter.
Nisarly every one takes measles, scarlet
fever and whoopits,g cough, and why be so
perticular about"- preventing them while
nabbing is done to prevent consumption.
All children at the age of 15 are free from-
coesumption, and I think their habits and
dress after this is the chief cause. Young
m n's constitutious are weakened by tobac-
co and young ladies' by dress, footwear and
parties. - Take it in the winter, in the
coantry. A load of twenty go 10 miles to a
dance and after being heated up, return at
3 or 4 o'clock in the morning with the tem-
perature down to zero. What an invita-
tion for consumption to kill.

The Trade of Canada.
Sir Richard Cartwright delivered a very
abIle and convincing speech on the Budget
debate in the House of Commons a few days
ago. Indeed, Sir gachard's speeches are
alWays able, and no Man in Canadian
politics can put so much interesting and
useful information in so !small space. The
fo lowing figures which he gave will be read
w th pride by every Canadian. He said:
As regards the development of, trade, it is
a sclutely unparalleled, the record is almost
to good. The figures Mr. Fielding gave
w re sufficiently convincing, and if he erred
at all, I think he erred, oh the side of mod-
er tion, and hardly- dwelt enough- on the
e ormous strides with which our general
trade, and more notably our exports, have
inereased within the lase fow years. It is a
very interesting fact that I now state to the
Hi use, that within the last six months the
e ports of our prodeee, the produce of
C nada, amounted to $108,002,883. Before
we came into office, the exports—and it was
a record year; it was the highest year that
hed been attained—the exports for the
w ole year of 1896 amounted to $109,707,-
805. Six months of the present fiscal year
h d equalled the highest record that up to
t at time had ever been attained in the
fi cal history of Canada, in the matter of
thie exports of our own produce. As to the
total volume of trade, I would like to call
the attention of the House to this very
notable fact, that in 1868 the total volume
of our trade was $131,027,532. In 1897—
a d it was a record year; it was the highest
y ar- we had ever attained—the total
✓ lume of our trade was $257,168,862. In
t ese thirty years the total volume of our
tr de had increased by $126,141,330, and
t ese were the years in which we had added
t 6 whole of the Northwest Territories, the
P ovinoe of Manitoba, the Provinoe of
B itish Columbia and the Province of
Pince Edward Island to our territory.
n 1897 the total volume of trade was,
as Si,I have already said, $257,168,862. In
1 00 the -total volume of our trade was
$ 81,517,,36, the difference being $124,348,-
3 4 in three years, as against $126,141,330
in thirty years.
WILL THE DEoWTH CONTINUE?
Sir, as to the question, and a very im-
rtant question it is, as to whether the
eat growth in our exports is reasonably
ely to be maintained, I have been at some
ins to analyze the chief items of increase,
d I am inclined to think from the char-
acter and nature of the increases there is a
reasonable probability that the greater part,
at any rate, of the expansion in our exports
w 11 be maintained, a point which all busi-
ness men will regard as .a very important
m tter. I find that our exports of bacon
aid hams in 1896 amounted to $4,381,968,
w ile in 1900 our exports of Wean and hams
had grown t� $12,758,025. In 1896 our
exports of butter amounted to $1,052,089,
while in 1900 our exports of butter totalled
$5,122,563. In the matter of cheese, our
exports in 1896 were $13,956,571, while in
1900 they were $19,856,324. In the ease of
our mines, our exports in 1896 were $8,959,-
550 and in 1900. $24,580,266, Our exports
in manufactures likewise increased very
largely in these years. I would point out
that these several items compose the major
portion of the total increases in our exports,
and I think that there is reasonable ground
to believe that these exports will not only
be maintained, but probably will be in•
creased, with reasonable care and diligence
on the part of our producers during the en-
suing year or two. I need not say, sir, that
particularly in the case of mines these in-
dustries may be regarded as being almost in
their infancy; that there is every ground in
these and somewhat similar cases as for
instance, in the making of pulp, pulpwood
and paper therefrom, to look for a large and
expanding trade.
