NOTES AND COMMENTS.
T. W. Gibson, Director of Mines for
Ontario, has received a report from New
Caledonia, the French penal island,
which is practically the only nickel pro-
duoing territory iu the world besides
Ontario, and it shows that the industry
in. flagging there. While iu 1902 the
island produced 129,653 tons of nickel
ore, it raised. only 77,360 tons in 1903
which is only about half of the output
of the Copper Cliff, Ont., mines. This
province has a valuable asset in her in-
comparable nickel deposits. The deposits
in New Caledonia is the only other body
of nigkei in the world of considerable
size. The advantage which Outerio ui-
joys in the possession of her nickel mines
can hardly be estimated and will be
more fully realized as time progresses.
The New York American says that
the American Steel Trust during two
years of operation has paid in wages,
exclusive of the salaries of high offi-
cials, $225,000,000 and during the same
time it has paid in profits on capital
$255,000,000. Ili other words, the pay-
ments on profits have exceeded pay-
ments on wages by $30,000,000. Be.
fore amalgamation the proportion of
profits to wage cost in the different
steel plants, than carried ou as indepen-
dent concerns, was 10 per cent. The
benefits of amalgamation, which should
have been divided between consumers
and the laborers who perforated the
work of production, seem to have gone
to capitalists, whose work consisted
mainly in pouring water into the stock.
HOW WE GROW
The uurevised statement of exports
for the eleven months ending May, 1904•
shows that we sold abroad in that time
$184.595,791 worth of the produce ot
Oanada.
This is a large export. It demon-
strates growth and progress.
In the same eleven months of 1895 we
exported $90,749,050.
This is an increase of $83,542,741 in
our exports in nine years, or over 90 per
cent. And every dollar of it the produce
of our own people.
In the eleven months, July to May, in-
clusive, of 1890, we exported Canadian
manufactures to the value of $6,845,030
The Liberals went into power in 1896,
and when their tariff was brought down
the Conservative loader denounced it,
prophesied that it would bring wide-
spread rain and stagnation to Canadian
industries, and called on the people to
drive the Liberals out to save the
country.
Wells, in the eleven months corres
ponding in 1904, weexported $17,648,081
worth of Canadian manufactures iu spite
of the fact that the home demand had
probably more than doubled.
It means au increase of nearly 160 per
cent. in nine years! That is something
to be proud of. It is the practical refn-
talion of the Conservative attacks on
the Liberal tariff. It is the answer in
dollars in the manufacturers' bank ac-
counts and the mechanics' and laborers'
pockets to the organs' abuse of Liberal
statesmen and Liberal policy.
And there is more of such evidence.
In the 1895 period our mines yielded
for export, $6,403,280; in this year's
period $28,855,066 -more than four times
as mach!
Our animal produce export increased
from $31,750,267 to $57,592,369, nearly
$26,000,000, pretty well up to 90 per
cent.
Our agricultural prodnce increased

from $15,186,751, to $33,154,778 --not far
from 120 per cent.
And so Isn't encouraging
showing.
But it is worth while coming down to
date. Let us see how May's exports in
1895 and 1904 compare in the matter of
exports of home produce.
In May, 1895, we exported produce to
the value of $6,841,513. In May, 1904,
we exported $10,732,381,uearly$4,000,000
or 662a per cent. iuorease.
But the Conservatives said manufac-
tures could not thrive under the Liberal
tariff. How did they show up in the
comparison; lot us see.
Our export of manufactures in May,
1894, was $827,291, in May, 1904,'it had
grown to $1,831,399.
Pat that down to give to the first
Oonservative who dares to attack the
Liberal tariff as bad for manufacturers.
In May, 1904, we exported $t,054,108
worth more of the product of ourfactor-
ies than in May, 1895. The increase is
over 127 per cent, and is the most not
able on the list.
Canada is growing and expanding as
she never did before. The good Lib-
eral Government's wise and moderate
policy has not been without its effeet in
aiding in that development.

FACTS ABOUT CANADA'S
MILITIA AND DEFENCE.
Canada has a militia force of 40,000.
These can be expanded to a war
strength of 100,000 as. Canada's first line
of defence.
Provision has recently been made for
the raising of a second line of defence of
100,000 when needed.
Canada has 300 Rifle Associations,
with 22,000 enrolled members.
Canada's Militia Department costs
two and -a -half millions a year.
Canada has 200 Mounted Policemen
costing half a million annually. They
patrol an area as large as Europe.
They are sub -divided into 80 poste
scattered from Hudson's Bay to the
Rocky Mountains, and from the Uuited
States Boundary to the Arctic Ocean.
The farthest north post is on Hershell's
Island, in the Arctic Ocean. Canada
will fortify St. John, N B., and Van-
couver.
Canada sent 8,372 men to South Africa
during the Boer War. Of this number,
224 died and 252 were wounded Of
this number, 597 belonged to Strath-
cona's Horse.
Canada expended $2,F30,965 in send-
ing the 8,372 men to South Africa.

Good Roads.
The eighth annual report of A. W.
Campbell. Provincial Commissioner of
Highways for Ontario which has just
been issued, gives a vast amount of vain -
able information as to what has been
done lately in regard to 'the important
work of roadmaking. The wonderful
amount which is eventually gained,
through many small savings accumulated
by the building new roads, can hardly be
conceived until it is actually experienced
but with the rapidly growing wealth of
the country municipalities are gradually
coming to recognize this fact, and are
making more generous appropriations
for improving roads in their various
districts. The report says that by the
end of last year about 130 townships had
abolished or commuted statute labor and
in its place (with more or less modifies-
tion), had adopted systems whereby
fewer and more permanently appointed
road•overseers take the place of the path -
master of the statute labor system, and
by which all road work is paid for in a
buiiness•llike way. Prover road -mak,
ing machinery is being employed, deft.

been established, and, altogether, new

An Awful Japanese Custom.
It is the custom iu old. Japan to bury
living retainers, servttnttt, an even
horses, upright in a circle around the
grave of a member of any imperial or
noble family. Tho hauls of these poor
wretches were left exposed, and their
cries of agony during their lingering
death could be beard night and day.
This t.nful cnt,tour was changed by a
tender-hearted ruler in the second year
of our Christiau era, rough clay images
being substituted for the living beings;
but so late as A.D. 646, another emperor
had to legislate agaiust the recurrence
of such living buritils.
Knock -Off Days, Then and Now.
Ili our boyhood days, about a half
century ago what few holidays we had
compared with the preseut time. Good
Friday was but little observed, the
Queen's Birthday was usually kept in
the afteruuon and evening, a few at-
tended the Orauge Walk ou the Glor-
ious Twelfth, and a few partially
observed 'Thanksgiving Day and these
were till, Workiug people never
thought of vacation aud school children
worked like beavers during school holi-
days. Now with weekly half holidays,
civic holidays, Labor Day, arbor day,
Empire Day, sod all the legal and
statutory days nalfione of dollars' worth
of labor is lost auuually to the industrial
world in this cuuutry. Are we any
more healthy tlitlh all these knockoff
days?-Bowmanyille Statestnau.

A MC'bEL. HENHOUSE.
Barbera No Vermin -Well Ventilated and
traria !u Wilmer.
The most satisfactory henhouse I
halal found is the one shown in the.
illustrertion, says an Orange Judd
Farmer writer. It is intended to ac-.
ccuuurodate 200 hens. The ceilings in
roosting rooms are high, are arched.
to within three feet of the rafters,
thus affording additional air space.
in the middle of each ceiling is a ten
inch grated aperture, with a wooden
chimney leading to the cupolas. This
makes good ventilation without

1. have used this model of a house
for 'ninny years and have never had
any disease among the flocks and
have no difficulty with vermin. Dur-
ing warns weather the coop is spray-
ed about once a month as a preven-
tive for vermin and for the health of
the fowls. The cost of this building
is between, $175 to ,r, O. Stones
from the fields are , used in the
cement work. The principal advant-
age in this over the cheaper class of
buildings, however, is the hens, being
kept warm during the coldest per-
iods, will continue laying when cggd

Cratre for Fattening Chickens.
Farmers who intend to try the
crate fattening of chickens this sea-
son should soon be thinking ot
building their crates. Those in use at
the Illustration Poultry Stations
urn 6 feet long, 16 inches wide and
20 inches ]nigh, inside measurements.
Each crate is divided by two tight
wooden partitions into three com-
partments, and each compartment
holds four chickens. '.l'he frame pieces
aro 2 inches wide and seven -eighths
inch thick. This flame is • covered
with slats, placed lengthwise on
three - Nick's -bottom, back and top -
and up-and-down in front. The slats
for the bottom are seven -eight hs inch
wide and five-eighths inch thick; the
back, top and front slats aro the
same width, but only three-eighths
inch thick. The spaces between the
slats in front are two inches wide to
enable the chickens to feed Nom the
trough. The bottom slats are put 1}
inches apart, and the slat nearest
the back of the crate is 2; inches
from the corner piece. The bottom
slats are raised two inches from the'
bottom of the crate, to prevent the:
chickens' feet front being bruised;
when the crate is placed on the
ground. The top slats are 2 inches
apart and the back slats 11 inches.,
The top slats are cut above each
partition, and six strips 2 inches
wide` are nailed under then'. Tho
three doors so formed are hinged to
the rear corner piece.
The crates are placed on stands 16
inches from the ground. The drop-
pings from the chickens are received
on sand or other absorbent material.
A light "V" trough, 21 inches in-
side, is pla.ce'd in frout of each crate,
and is carried on two brackets nailed•
to the ends of the crate. The bottom
of the trough is four inches above.
the floor, and the upper inside edge
is two inches from the crate.
Seeding Clover Alone,
Thc practice of seeding land ti
clover with some sena)! grain crop is'
often criticized on the score that we
do not treat the valuable clover
plant as fairly ns we do the, ordinary
crops of the Paan, says National
Stockman, The latter ttre given the
land alone. nut, if we stop to
think, the criticism is not well bas-
ed, because corn, oats .and potatoes
are annuals, requiring a single sum-
mer to reach thole 'maturity, while
the common clover is a biennial, re-
quiring twO years to make • full root.
growth. If it were a mere annual it.
would indeed be foolish to .retard its
growth in its first fele itlonths of
life, but it is entirely good practice'
to start these biennial pla.trts in a
small grain crop provided the latter
does not kill then' by using all the
water and sunshine.
Th. Fruit Orchard.
It a farmer has any thought of sell-
ing his farm, he is wise to plant a,
good apple orchard on it, says ittiral
hely Yorker. Such an orchard with
a good reputation is better than is
real estate agent, for good fruit is
l'e'^ognized as a salable asset. Even
to the farmer who does not Care to
be specially known its a fruit grower
an apple orchard is a good invest-
ment.
