The duty on tobacco in Great Britain has just been reduced from 76 cents to 64.eents per pound. This is this llfrst alteration that has. been made_. w t rate of duty on tobacco for 56 years. How many changes have there been in the tobacco duty in Canada in the same period? "The continuity of B it- ishduties," says the Globe, "gives the manufaturer and dealer a chance to do business without having all eyq con- tinually on the tariff law. Some day this may be true of Canadian trade 5 also when tariff for revenue is fully 35 established."

United States, Turkey and Holland. During the past Season of 1897.8 she nas exported for Great Brit- ain arid the Continent over seven mil- lion bushels of oats asagainst half that quantity in the season previous. Ow - tug to the Aortago ill the Russian sup• ply it is expected that Canadian oats will continue to be wanted right tip till next harvest. At Montreal at, present. the stocks of oats amount to 1.019,765 bushals, as compared with 826,82.'3 bilsh- e.ls a year, acro, bat a considerable por- tion of the same is nlready engaged for early shipment, principally for- British ports, MORE MONEY IN HOGS THAN IN CHEESE.—J. A. Alacdonald, of King's Co., P. E. I., writing in the Coiintr•y Gentleman, says: There i9 not (he us. nal enthusiasm in cheese -making in Prince Edward this spring, for two reasons: First, the low price of cheese in British markets, caused by the great over -production of ,last year in Uanada, and the large quantity held in stock late in tbeseason for high prices; secondly, the establishment in the pro- vince of two large bacos•cuting plants which opens a market for twice as many—nay, four timed as many hogs as our province ever produced at good prices. Farmers flnd that milk is a tre- e cessity in profitable hog production, and as 5c per Ib for a live hog, wetgh- ind anywhere between 150 and 200 ibe is much more profitable than 65c for 100 lbs milk, it is apparent that the producer of milk will find it judicious to extract the fat from his milk and y feed the residue to the hogs. All the co-opera(ive dairy plants established this season are to be run for batter only, and our leaders of dairy thought have advised directors of cheese factor- s fes to work their plants for butter until e July.

Advantages of Free Corn Guelph 111ercnry The farther is smiling these days over free corn. A South ZVelhngtorr farmer told us that he had bought last week, laid down at his nearest railway=tation, a carload of corn, that which cost him 39c it bushel of 56 pounds. At the,- same time he was selling his oats at jic and 36:: per bush. el of :34 pounds. Pea:, were also sell- ing at it good price. Any mau who understands the relative feeding value of American corn and Canadian coarse grains can readily Fee what it big ad- vantage it, is to the farmer to be able to nse Ainetticfau corn in his feeding and sell part of his own grain at the present prices. Did Not Reach Nionidi-ke, Mr Robert Scott of Nichol, who left Guelph about a month ago for Klon- dike, returned to the city on Thursday. He only reached Vancouver and was there persuaded to return. He says a trip to the coast 4s a ood cure for the gold fever. Hundreds of people are re- turning who did not even enter the gold region. The reports from those who have reached the gold region at e I very discouraging. Mr Scott oelieves the outfitters are largely responsible for the rush to the Yukon, as they have boomed things there by exagger- ation. ` Teachers and others who am anxious to get on in th9 world usually devote their time to study during thg holidays, You cannot do better than take a course in either shorthand or bookkeeping during July,and August.

WOODWARD 1IL•DICINZ CO.. TORONTO, CANADA Crop Outlook in Ontario FALL WHEAT A LITTLE BACKWARD, BUT OTHER GRAINS DOING WELL. The following Is the first estimate of the crops of Ontario for 1898, made by the Ontario Department of Agricul- ture based on the repot tsof the regu- lar correspondents of the Bureau of Industries. The returns are for the first wetik in May:— Fall wheat—November reports were to the effect that the area of fall wheat had been increased. In most cases the crop came out in the spring in about the same candidon as it entered the winter. Little harm appears to have been done by insects, wire worm be- ing reported in a few cases. The first two weeks of Apt it were far from fav- orable to the crop, and although rains later helped the plant, it is hardly in as forward a condition its usual. Where sown Party on summer fallow, fall wheat has never been mete prom- ising. In.several of the western and central counties some plowing up has beeen done, but not- to any consider- able extent. The present acreage of the crop, therefore, may be set down as quite up to the average anis the ave- rage condition to the first week of May is fair. The ow cane of the crop, of course, depends upon• the weather of the hex! six weeks. Clover—The prospects for Clover, as correspondents wrote, were niost fav- orable. Some heaving by frost occur- ring chiefly in the early part of April, is reported in nearly every district, but out tO so great an extent Its to be considered serious, while on the otter r hand many reports describe clover as Irxibing -plendid, especialy in the case of new fields. Vegetables — Correhpondents differ greatly its to the condition Of wegeta- nun, suave considering ht owt.11 as be- ing well advanced for t hr time of year r an fu!Iyas utng tliei•s rekarcil, theseasnasbeinratherbaward. Li uurst sections there was ii, fair bite for cattle at the beginniu.g of May and early fi nit trees were during nicely into bloom. Live Stock—The majority of reports concerning live stuck are ofa roost stn isfactory character•. Horses° ab it role arc in line condition Cattle are •ileo reported Lo be in good health, but lumpy j.a.v was reporLed in one or two ""flees, nut not to it serious extent. Sheel p came through the winter in capitashape and lambs are oceans and strong. A few cases of hog cholera occurred in sorne western sections, blit the disease was quickly stamped out. The supply Of fodder wits plenti- ful and there is an abundanc•eof straw. Farm supplies—There appears to be a surplus of hay in nearly every ,see - .1 ion of the province, but mere espFcial- 7y in the west. A1uch of I Ile crop is 1101' 1101'()t good gitality,althOLIgh,of coarse, there is a fair amount Of thst-class hay yet to behad. Reports regarding oats vary, foi while urany chtim that there is a scar- city, others hold Ihat there is it good supply left. Dollar wheat croated an active market and during the last month au immense quantity has changed h4nds. It looks as if nearly all the crop has beendi;p osed of in some que.rters, al- though fanners are oc•rasiomilly spok- en of its having frorn fifty to it hun- dred biishels of ,wheat ready for a fur- ther• 1.ke to price. Store cattle are said to be,scar•cer than ustial, but ill several plitces equal to the demand.' Complaintsar•e made o£ the low price forbeef, especially when offered for f.it anirmtls, and many of this class of animals are lleing kept, for it better, figure in some of the westercl countries, .and consequently there are rather mote in the hn.nds of farnters .I han etre desired, but, in the eastern countries fat cattle are sc•itce. Dien and medicines are judged by what they do, The great cures by Hood's Sar- saparilla give it a good name everywhere. If you wish to be successful in life take I a course in bookkeeping or shorthand. Nirrinio's Academy, Sarnia, is the best school to attend if you wish u thoroughly practical education.
