—Dr, Haanel, of the Department of
Mines, has initiated a plan of national
importance. He hopes to experiment
with peat as a fuel and so treat it that
it will not only be as good as, but
much better than coal. It will also be
much cheaper, .An experiment sta-
tion is now in course of erection at
Ottawa, and when it is ready the first
peat will be broughtfrom an excellent
bog which is situated near Alfred,
Ont. The difficulty regarding coal is
that it is exhaustible. The end of the
supply is within measurable distance.
However, ioith peat the situation is
different. It grows, and it is believed
that there are enough peat bogs in
Canada to provide a practically unex-
haustible supply for an immense popu-
lation. The experiments are not now,
of course. We are shbply following
upon the heel of Norway and Sweden,
but the" prospect is that, like Scandi-
>navia, we shall be placed in possession
of a cheap and thoroughly adequate
domestic and manufacturing fuel.

—The next session of Parliament
will be a fiscal session. The decennial
revision of the Bank Act will attract
unusual attention. It is safe to say
that Mr. Fielding will propose few
changes, but many others will be sug-
gested by private mellibers and some
of them will find support on both sides
of the House. One reform which may
be, urged will relate to the matter of
savings banks. At present a large
part of the savings banks business is
being transacted by the chartered
banks. It is believed by many, that
the chartered banks should confine
themselves to commercial, business,
and that in some way, long-time de-
posits should be conserved for people
who desire long-time loans upbn real
estate security, for buying and im-
proving their hones. It is also felt
that the Government savings banks,
including the Postoffice, are not get-
ting their share of the business, and
that this is due in a large degree to
defects in administration. Govern-
ment inspection of banks may also be
insisted upon in view of recent dis-
closures as to the Ontario Bank and
the defunct Bank of St. Johns, Que.
•
—The Royal Mint at Ottawa has at
coined a, great deal of money, and
'there is complaint that American sil-
ver is flooding the country, The Gov-
ernment has pursued a vacilating
policy in this matter. Some years
ago, it brought down legislation to
encourage the banks to ship back,sil-
ver to the United States. The Act
seemed to work well enough, but for
some reason it was discontinued after
a year's trial, only to be re-enacted at
the last session. It..is an accommoda-
tion to American tourists to have
their own money taken at par and
merchants naturally seek to accom-
modate them where a sale is in sight.
Were Canadian silver coins accepted
at par throughout the United States,
the result would probably not dimin-
ish the output of the Royal Mint.
But, except, along the border, our
coins are only accepted in the United
States at eighty per cent.' of their
value and this naturally has the effect
of reducing to the minimum their cir-
culation in that country. The silver
coins of both countries are only worth
as bullion about forty per, cent. of
their face value, The profit made by
the Government on coining silver is
quite large and there would be a
greater coinage and of course a great-
er profit, if all the fractional silver
used in Canada came from our own
Mint.
—The Minister „ of Lands, Forests
and Mines in Ontario, has 0given no-
tice by advertisement that timber and
tie berths situated in the districts of
Algoma, Sudbury, Thunder Bay, Ke-
nora and Rainy River, will be offered
for sale by public tender on Wednes-
'day, the 15th September. ,This is a
new way of doing things, which it
would' be well for the people of Can-
ada to insist upon the Federal Gov-
ernment adopting. The right to cut
ties on Crown lands heretofore, has
been granted either by permit .or by
public tender. Now the Government
announces a new policy. Henceforth
the right is to be granted only upon
public tender. This policy, if adminis-
tered strictly, should eliminate all
favouritism in the distribution of
those' rights. It should provide also
substantial increases in the public
revenues. And there is in the record
of the Whitney Government convinc-
ing assurance that the policy will be
administered strictly. Beginning with
the coming sale of timber berths, all
logs less than eleven inches in diame-
ter will be sold by the piece, instead
of by the thousand feet. The large
lumberman will pay 20 cents for his
ten -inch 16.foot log, the same as the
small man with the axe, who gets out
only a few hpndred ties, As the nulla-
her of railway ties annually cut in On -
tarso is very large, the addition to the
provincial revenue thus secured should
be considerable.

It Was A Snake.
Little Jimmie `Young, son of Mr. R.
Young, of the Commercial hotel,
Arthur, three years of age, Was quiet-
ly playing in the rear of the hotel last
Wednesday with what appeared to be
a stalk of rhubarb. After about an
hour, Mr. Suggitt, who was working
in the yard, went over to speak 05 the
little fellow and found that the play-
thing he was so interested in *as none
else bat a foot long garter snake. No
harm eared to the ohila.ond the inake
was tioott put out of the way.
Farm -Values. Bound To go Up.
(Weekly Sun.)
There are at present many cases in
which. Ontario farm lands can be
bought at e. price not more than equal
to the cost of improvements on the
property. The principal cause of this
state of affairs is found in the removal
to the West of thousands, who would
otherwise ,have purchased homes in
this Province. From perfectly natural
causes, the breaking up of families
and so on, a numlier of farms come on
the market every year, and when the
supplf of'- buyers is reduced by un-
usual causes, such as this Western
movement, prices are bound to go be-
low actual values.
The Springfield Republican, which
is published in Massachusetts, in com-
menting on the situation at present
existing here, says New England has
been through a similar experience.
While the Western States were in the
condition that the Canadian West is
in now, a constant stream of popula-
tion poured from New England out
upon the American prairies and Eas-
tern farm values declined almost to
the vanishing point as a consequence.
But, in the case of New England,
the turn of the tide has already set in.
The American West is now full'; land
prices there have, as a consequence,
risen up to or above real value, and
population is turning back from Wes-
tern to Eastern States where prices
are away below actual value. Al-
ready this return movement has
reached sufficient dimensions to bring
about an increase in prices even in
Central Maine, one of the poorest dis-
tricts in the eastern seaboard of the
United States.
,ad
An American Opinion.
Rather remarkable is the change of
opinion regarding Canada in connec-
tion with the American press. A few
years ago, scarcely a word of praise.
washeard of Canada or her resources.
There seems now to be a disposition
to give Canada some little credit.
This is what the Minneapolis Tribune
has to say :—
"The drift of American indt tries
to Canada in search of cheaper raw.
material and fewer restrictions upon
enterprise is perfectly natural. Capi-
tal is the most mobile . thing in the
world, and international boundaries
have become imaginary for it. You
can exclude emigration and shut out
goods, but no nation makes laws
against money -seeking investment.
It is a,s natural that Americans should
build mills in Canada for working up
Canadian products as that the beef
trust should take over Argentine
pl;Lnts to kill the cheap and abundant
cattle of that country and ship the
meat here in refrigerator ships.
When fuller development- solves the
power problem, Canadian wheat will
be ground largely in Canada and
American capital will finance the
grinding. An earlier phenomenon
probably will be the transfer of our
paper pulp n 1ls, if not the paper mills
themselves, Canada, is helping this
with restrictions upon export, and we
are encouraging it with our general
tariff policy. Already Ontario pro-
hibits export of wood suitable to pulp
making from crown lands, though pri-
vate owners may do as they please,
Ontario has not yet built up a pulp
mill industry, but its policy has tend-
ed to concentrate the pulp industry of
the United States in the east, with a
consequent rise in price of paper."
A LOSING GAME.
There is some chanot of winning it
' 'most every game that's played,
From polo down to ping-pong, and
from poker to old maid
You always have some show to prove
your strength or craft or skill,
And if friendly fortune favors—call it
luck, Or what you will—
You may carry off the honors, but one
game you'll surely lose,
And that's the game that people play
with
Old
Man
Booze,
No man was ever known to make, a
winning at this game ;
All kinds of men have tried it—the
result was just the same ;
Your luck may change at faro, you
may carry off a stake,
But there's just one game that no one
was ever known to break,
And it has broken many—it will break
yon if you ehoose
To go against the game that's ptayed

POULTRY NOTES.
It, will not burt either fowls or
chicks to roost in the trees from now
until the beginning of cold weather..
Both turkeys and, geese will find
nearly all their food in the fields dur.
ing August, if allowed free range..
When shipping any kind of live
poultry at this season of the year, do
not crowd the coops and be sure that
the coops allow suflioient. ventilation.
Always remember that lice breed
faster in summer than they do in win-
ter and double the precautions against
thein on that account.
Old ducks which are being kept over
need considerable bulk in their feed
and therefore coarse wheat bran and
cut clovdr, etc., should make from a
third to a half of the ration.
It is never advisable to feed old and
young stock together far the quality
and amount required by the young for
proper growth and development will
usually fatten the old stock past its
best usefulness.
If the young ducks stretch out in
the sun and. -become apparently life-
less, they are affected by sunstroke
and should be put in a cool place to
recover and shade should be provided
where the flock can reach it during
hot days.
If the fowls are yarded during the
summer always see that they get
plenty of green food, either refuse
vegetables from the garden, green,
apples from the orchard, fresh cut
green clover (cut and feed while the
dew is on), or,a part of each.
A good summer ration for old fowls
on free range is.a reasonable amount,
not too mucb, of corn, wheat and
oats, fed separately and alternately
morning and night, with an occasional
feed of barley. The fowls will pick up
all else they need in the fields,
Watch the youngstock as it "grows
and note and keep track of the indi-
viduals that make the fastest and
most uniform growth and which show
no signs of disease or sickness. Those
are the ones to breed from next sea-
son if the intention is to improve the
flock from year to year.
Only One Left.
When Lord Thurlow first opened a
lawyer's office in London, he took a
basement room which had previously
been occupied by a cobbler, He was
somewhat ' annoyed by the previous
occupant's callers, and irritated by the
fact that he had few came to seek
legal advice. One day an Irishman
entered. "The cobbler's gone, I see,"
he said.., "I should think he had,"
tartly responded the lawyer. "And
what do ye sell?" inquired the Irish-
man, looking at the solitary table,
and a few law books. "Blockheads,"
responded Thurlow. "Begorra," said
Pat, "ye must be doing a mighty fine
business, ye ain't got but one left."
