EDITORIAL NOTES.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier is home,. The
Empress of Britain with the Premier
and several of his cabinet, the Canadian
contingent, and a number of other dis-
tinguished people reached Quebec Sun-
day evening after having been delayed
nearly three days by the seamen's
strike Sir Wilfrid received a royal
welcome, and his home -coming was in
the nature of a triumph.
For the first quarter of the present
fiscal year Canada's revenue has been
$29,239,646, an increase of nearly three
millions, as compared with the first
three months of the last fiscal year.
For June the revenue was $10,666,205,
an increase of $1,053,528. Expenditure
on consolidated fund account for the
three months has been $8,935,832, a
comparative increase of $102,625. On
capital account the expenditure has
been $2,303,730, a decrease of nearly
one million.
BORDEN BEATEN.
agricultural population suddenly ceased
to grow, or if the American demand be-
came so vast that we could barely sup-
ply it. But, of course, none of these
conditions exist or are likely to prevail.
This year we shall receive, it said,
well on to 300,000 immigrants, and
there is no limit hi sight to the number
that may come in a near future, In
the older Provinces the Grand: Trunk
Pacific is opening a vait back country
containing large areas of good soil and
rich in minerals, pulpwood and fish, In
the West we have cultivated little
more than the fringe of that tremen-
dous empire, adapted much of it for
wheat, the rest of it for cattle. The
lowering of the American duties on
these and other staples will have the
effect of tempting population into these
empty spaces, and, consequently, of in-
creasing our available surplus by an
amount far beyond any demand the
States is likely to make upon us, at
any rate within the lifetime of this
generation. The Tory cry that the
Cananaian consumer is about to be hurt
is as unsubstantial as all their alarmist
stories.
But, they say, the Liberals have been
talking a good deal about the conserva-
tion of our resources for posterity, yet
here they are going to dispose of them
to the Yankees.
Conservation does not mean that we
are to shut down exporting.• What in
a well-known bull, has posterity done
for us that we should sacrafice our-
selves for posterity? Conservation, to
take an excellent working example, is
the policy adopted by Mr. Frank Oliver,
Minister of the Interior, in assuming
control of the rivers in the three Prairie
Provinces, the Railway Belt in British
Columbia and the Yukon -that is to
say, wherever the Dominion Govern-
ment has jurisdiction -so that the wat-
er -powers may not fall into the hands
of private individuals or companies who
would exploit them for their own, and
thereforecto the detriment of the pub-
lic interest. In like manner, Mr. Oliv-
er takes care that the forests in the
West are not grarbed by speculators
holding for a rise, but administered as
far as possible for the good of the set-
tler.
This is conservation in the true sense,
in the only sense in which it can be
practically applied. But if we did not
invite immigrants to cultivate the soil
and encourage our present population
to do so, how could they exist? And
unless they could export to the States
and elsewhere how could they cultivate
it with advantage? If we were about
to make the Americans a present of
what we shall sell to them under
the Fielding proposals, there would be
something in the cry that we are de-
pleting our resources. But as a matter
of fact we shall charge them all they
can afford to pay, and, what is more,
net a higher figure for ourselves than
now, when the American tariff robs
the Canadian producer on every ship-
ment.
[Stratford Beacon.]
The Tory newspapers have concoct-
ed a cock-and-bull story by alleging
that the grain growers of the West are
being fooled into crying for reciprocity
by persons in thepay of the Laurier
Government. This is a silly and absurd
reason for the deplorable failure. of
Mr. Borden to make converts of the
western farmers. He it was who tried
to lead them by the nose, not the min-
ions of the Liberal Government. It
would be the vainest thing in the world
for either party to attempt. The wes-
tern farmers are made of a different
kind of stuff. They permit no one to
think for themselves. Mr. Borden was
plainly that on the question of reciproc-
ity they have cast partizanship aside,
and Tory and Grit are united in its
favor. They have formed a solid
phalanx, and his repeated attacks have
made no more impression than the
charges of Napoleon on the British
squares at Waterloo. He comes back
a beaten man. He continued his stub-
bornness to the end, feeling that, in
the phrase of Abe Lincoln, desperate
aswashis situation, it would be worse
were he to attempt to swap horses
when crossing the stream. Sir Wilfrid
Laurier made no mistake when he went
to London and left Mr. Borden to his
own devices. The fight will soon be con-
tinued at Ottawa, and if obstructive
tactics are again resorted to, the Lib-
eral party have learned from the Borden
tour that they will have no difficulty in
bringing it to a successful finish by an
appeal to the people. Whatever the
political complexion of the advocates
of reciprocity. the westerners are pre-
pared to receive them with open arms.
The leader of the Opposition has un-
wittingly bet unmistakably shown that
the great triumph of the Prime Minis-
ter yesterday in the east awaits him on
the morrow in the west.
RECIPROCITY AND
CONSERVATION.
In one breath the Tories say the
Fielding agreement will be of benefit
to the Canadian farmeer or fisherman;
in the other, that the Y'ankies will con-
sume so much of their produce that
prices in Canada must go up to the in-
jury of the Canadian consumer. Both
assertions cannot be true.
The latter might prove to be the case
if Canada had no more territory fit for
agriculture than she has now, or if her
mamkarow

Poles Used in Canada.
The forestry branch of the Depart-
ment of the Interior has compiled sta-
tistics dealing with the poles purchas-
ed in Canada during 1910. The total
number of poles purchased was 782,841,
or an increase of 118 per cent. over
1909. The total value of these poles at
point of purchase was $1,043,874, and
the average price of poles was $1.33,
or less by six cents than the price per
pole in 1909. Steam railroads, tele-
phone and telegraph compaies used 95
per cent. of these poles, the remaining
5 per cent. being used by electric roads,
power and light companies; 97 per cent.
of the total consumption were cedar
poles, which give better service
than any other wood. At pres-
ent none of these poles are treated
or preserved by any method, in which
respect we are far behind the United
States. The United States using in
1909, 3,738,740 poles at an average cost
of $1.89 or at 50 cents more per pole
than in Canada, found that it paid
them to use preservative methods.
During the last three years
the treat-
mentment
of poles has advanced rapidly, so
that in 1909 15 per cent of the total
number were treated by the creosote
or other methods. This is an increase
of 67 per cent. over the number treated
in 1908. At present the United States
have 87 timber treating plants, while
Canada has none. It is to be hoped
that this great inequality will soon be
done away with, and that pole -users in
Canada may take up this cheap and
rational meth ,
method o f
securing greater
service from the poles used and thus
lessening the drain on the forest..
In Japan there is aI kind of frog very
celebrated for his sweet voice. He is
called kajika, and people pay as much
as $10 for a pair of these marsh Musi-
cians. A poet in Japan keeps scores
of singing frogs at his home, and he
sometimes gives a party to his friends,
when after listening to the music every
guest is asked to write a poem in honor,
of the frogs.

Why Not Ontario?
\-The Irishman's staple, the potato,
does not seem to be as popular in On-
tario els a money -making crop as it is
in some other parts of the Dominion.
Outside of Simcoe County, the potato
crop can scarcely be said to be gener-
ally grown on a commercial scale. It
is estimated that for nine months of
the year 75 per cent. of the potatoes
consumed in the city of Toronto are
imported' from the Maritime Provinces.
It reflects little credit on the Ontario
growers that these Maritime potatoes
invariably command prices ranging
from 10 to 15 cents higher than the
price quoted for Ontario potatoes. Why
is it that Maritime potatoes command
a premium over the home grown var-
iety? The reason why the produce
dealers is that in maritime sections,
potato growing is made a business. In
some sections every farmer will have
from 5 to 10 or even 20 acres of pota-
toes. All the farmers in a section and
sometimes in a whole country will grow
the same variety of potato. Uniform
carload lots, therefore, can easily be
obtained. A carload lot of Ontario po-
tatoes may contain a dozen varieties
widely differing in color, shape and
size. Maritime growers consider, pota-
toes one of their best money crops.
There is no reason why in Ontario, as
well, it should not make money and
supply our own home market at least.

Alfalfa is a native of India, but has
been cultivated in Europe since before
the time of Christ. The Spaniards
introduced it into South America. but
it did not reach North America until
about 1850, when it was introduced
into California. It is now the most ex-
tensively cultivated forage crop in the
United States but, according to agri-
cultural experts, we are only beginning
to grasp its possibilities.

A Paradox For the Farmer.
In some localities land has doubled
in value in the .last decade. Where
this is true the farmer must make his
land produce just twice as much in

er instead of richer, although his land
is worth more.
Dairy Doings.
Feeds too expensive for dairy cows
usually indicate fanit either with the
cow or with the dairyman.
With a thoroughly good cow to man-
ufacture it we can ahbays afford to ,
put in feed and take out butter.
The dairyman who takes his money
out of the savings bank to build a silo)
makes a good investment of idle capi-
tal.
The cream separator, the silo and
the manure spreader should find a
place in the equipment of every dairy
farm.
The chemist cannot find that a silo
adds
anything iT to' the nutritive
ele-
ments in a cornstalk, but it does add,
palatability and that counts for a good
deal.
Happy is the cow whose owner grew
a Crop of mangels. This root equals
silage. The Holstein cattle men would
hardly undertake to test a eow for
great production without mange's.
