Since. the Whitney Goverument came
into office about 500 officials have been
changed. Nearly 300 License Commis-
sioners have beau made walk the plant;,
100 Overseers, and close on a 100 made
np of Liceuse I specters, Bailiffs and
such like.
Sheep Bobabas broken out in a few
• towuehips of Western Ontario, inoiud-
iug Warwick, Brooke and Dawn, and
the Dominion Department of Agricul-
ture has taken steps to isolate and place
under treatment the infected flocks
with a view to stamping out the disease
as quickly as possible. The movement
of sheep within the districts under
quarantine is prohibited,
At the Monteith banquet Hon. A.
Beck charged the late Government with
having given away Niagara frauchises
for a song, How funny ! Does not Mr.
Beck reweniber that Mr. Whitney con-
sidered the terms imposed upon these
corporations by the Rosa Goverument to
be so strenaous that he advocated that
the power should be ivade as free as air?
Mr. P. H. McKenzie, the able member
for South Bruce, has been able to arrange
that a day be set apart by the Committee
on Agriculture in the House of Oommons
to thoroughly investigate the British
embargo ou Canadian cattle. Mr. •Mc-
Keuzse has made a special study on the
gnestiou and the farmers of Ontario may
be sure that he will leave nothing un-
done that may advance the Iive stock
interests.
The Peterboro Examiner says: "Some
of the railways thiuk that the Govern -
meat should not put on additional taxa-
tion because the railways have done so
ranch for Ontario. And hasn't Ontario
done a good deal for the railways? It it
weren't for the public a railway system
wouldn't be worth the price of junk.
The railways make their profits out of
the people, and at a good round rate, too.
Peterboro shippers who have to pay as
much freight charges oh a barrel of
flour, package of cereal, or;[baconeau iied
to Montreal. as is charged frota Windsor,
several hundred miles farther west,
wouldn't feel severely pained if a little
additional railway taxation were im-
posed.,'
It is difficult to see what Mr. Gamey
hopes to gain by asking a majority of
Ms friends in the Ontario Legislature to
erase from the record the finding of the
commission which heard his case. The
evidence was then heard by the people
as well as the commission, and the real
verdict was registered in the popular
.mind. But if Mr. Gamey imagines that
the victory of his party at the recent
election constituted a review of the vera
dict he is mistaken. Hie character was
not an issue at the late elections. To a
certain ,extent the truth of the oharges
which he made were but more in the
way of supporting the general opinion
of the need for a change than of indors-
ing the specific accusations which he
Laid at the doors of individuals. If Ma.
Gamey bas some new evidence he might
move for a new trial, but he will hardly
get the people to alter their opinion,
formed at the time of the hearing, on
the old evidence. They will still want
to know why 13e went to Buffalo. -

Composed by Wu. ABRAHAM, I$a

an ureic of Mr. Thomas Abraham, of
Wingham.-En,1
As often I stray by the banks of the
Clyde,
When the beauties of summer are full in
their pride,
When the scent of the wild flowers
blow fresh in the gale,
Aud the lambkins are skipping by hill-
side and dale,
My thoughts wander back. to a differ
ent scene,
Mere oft iu niy childhood so happy I've
been;
'Mid nature's perfections my bosom
does yearn
For the homes of my fathers, by bonnie
Lough Erne.
I think on the scene, so romantic and
wild,
Where oft I have wandered when I was
a Child --
Heard the song of the wild bird, the
hunt of the bees,
By our sot neatly sheltered by Sycamore
trees;
Or by old Castle Ferman, so lonely
and drear,
When the moon sheds her light on the
waters so clear,
Or gazed on the distant hills rugged
and stern,
That bounded the border of bonnie
Lough Erne.
And by bonnie Brook Hill how delight-
ful to stray,
When the clouds looked like gold at the
close of the day,
To view the broad picture of water
and land
So tastefully finished by Nature's own
hand;
Where the neat town of Pettigoe
stands 'Death the hill,
And the brook murmers softly beside the
old mill.
Through waterfoots, plantains, 'mid
brushwood and fern,
It wended its way into bonnie Lough
Erne.
Where I've rowed 'mong the Islands
or round the calm shore,
When the boat lightly speeds by the
stroke of the oar,
When the blue sky refleoted in the
waters below,
And the boats gliding swiftly, their sails
like the snow;
Where the sweet little islands in
the brightest of green,
Aud the purple clad hills, in the distance
are seen,
Like the maidens so lovely and the
heroes so stern,
Around sweet Fermanagh and bonnie
Lough Erne.
Bat why do I ponder on scenes such
as these,
Or muse on our homestead, among the
green trees ;
For when'eer I think of them, a clouds
on my brow,
The friends whom I loved then---ahl
where are they now?
Alas! they are scattered -some laid in
their graves;
And many have wandered across the
wild waves,
To Canada's wild woods, a living to
earn,
Far, far, from the green banks of bonnie
Lough Erne.
On bold Portnablithe I • may wander
no more,
Nor stray 'mong the bushes along the
green shore,
Where the ash and the hazel luxuriant-
ly grow,
And rustle their leaves as the breeze
gently blow;
No mora may I visit these dear scenes
again,
Nor wander at evening adown the old
lane,
Where the thrush sings sosweetly at
evening and morn,
Among the green bushes by bonnie
Lough Erne.
Dames AND PILR'S.
A prolific cause of Piles is the use of
cathartics and pills of a drastic, violent
nature, which is always followed by a
reaction on account pf the resinous, dry-
ing properties they contain.
There are other causes, but no matter
what the cause or what the kindof Piles.
Dr. Leonhardt's Hem -Reid can be relied
upon to cure -to stay cured.
It's an internal remedy that removes
the causes of Itehiug, Blind, Bleeding or
Stippnrating Piles.
A guarantee goes with each package
containing a month's treatment.
It can be obtained for $1.00 at drug-
gists', or The Wilson-Fyle Co., Limited,

If the butter does not come properly,
put a handful of salt in the churn,
The cream should be churned at about
55 degrees in summer, a little higher in
winter.
The room in which the churning is
done should be kept at an even tem-
peratnre and not colder than the tem-
perature of the cream,
The churn should hot be moved too
rapidly as it injures the grain of the but-
ter,
When the batter begins to form in
grains, cold Water of brine should be
dashed, in the churn, which will separate
the butter from the buttermilk and
leave it in kernels about the size of wheat
grains.
The butter should be washed until the
Water runs clear.
The butter worker should be scalded
and cooled with ice water and the but-
ter lifted from the churn to it.
About an otinde of any' pare salt
should be eifted over the whole enrftlee,
and about a tablespoon of fine gegen' to
ten pounds of butter added, and the
whole worked through carefully. Stop
working before the grain of the butter le
broken.
Given good cream it cadets no more to
make fine butter than ft does to turn out
an inferior article. It fr simply doing
the work in the right way.

At the southern good roads conven-
tion iif. A. Bays of the land and indus-
trial department of the Southern rail-
way made a notable address in regard
to good roads. Mr. Hays said In part;
"The bad common road, which is the
ordinary common road of today, makes
life in country districts, and smaller
places more expensive in every way. It
destroys social movement, it interferes
with church and school, it robs the
people of many comforts and attrac-•
tions and makes life narrow. In this `
way it drives from the village and
farm to the cities the young mon and
women, with their productive possibili-
ties. Its whole tendency is to congest
population in the cities and more than
anything else has forced a one sided.
development in our national Life.
"These are some of the evils and the
burdens and the effects of poor roads.

good roads? Fortunately we do not
have to go to foreign lands nor even to,
other sections of our country for proof"
as to their desirability and for their
value.
"They have reduced the cost of fermi
production wherever built.
"They have increased the value o1[
farm lands from 25 to 100 pee cent.
"They have made available for culti-
ration wider areas of territory.
"They have attracted immigration;
they have given to old farms thought
valueless a good value by enabling
owners or tenants to make them profit-

rofitable.
"They have made the village mer-
chant, mote prosperous.
"They have built factories; they haver
aided in the growth of cities. Inciden-
tally they have added to the traffic of
railroads.
' "Of other benefits of even greater im-
portance, they- have made a better
class of citizens; they have brought
about better methods of agriculture;
they have improved the schools by,
increasing public revenues and ena-
bling teachers and schools to serve a.
larger area; they have added in every
way to the comforts of the people;
they have in a measure turned back
the tide toward the city by bringing
people from the city into the country
districts for homes.
"The benefits from improved public
roads is so great that it is the utmost
wisdom and economy for a .community.
to issue bonds or to levy taxes to build
improved roads which can be used all
the year round, and these benefits are
so sure and so great that the commu-
nity will not feel the tax half so much
as it does the taxes wasted on poor
roads --in fact, that there will be no
burden at all in providing them, and.
no Pennma canal and no other proposi-
tion or enterprise will have so much
influence in the development of the
country as a system of good roads.
"What such a system means in in-
creased production and wealth and in
all progress is almost beyond esti-
mate,"
Michigan Woman Icor Good Roads.
A few miles from Big Rapids resides
a woman who is doing what she can to
pay the rent on her privilege of being

farm and hauls her produce to the city.
The roads on her route are not the best
