ed before grinding with just euongh of
its western rival to bring it up to the
1 proper percentage of gluten, while re•
taining the super -tor flavor and color of
the Ontario grain, is a fact whioh has a
direct bearing on the increase of the
market for Ontario wheat. In the Mari-
time Provinces the Ontario blended flour
won popular favor, and the time is
rapidly approaching when Ontario
people will give the preference to their
home•milled wheat oombined in proper
proporttone with that of the West.
An enlarged market for Ontario wheat
created by the demand for blended
flours, means increased earning powers
for Ontario farms, and implies a we1-

Between Canada and the United States
a new bargain has been Amok in regard
to the interchange of second class mail
matter. Letter postage will remain as
before, but second claw matter, such as
newspapers and periodicals will not be
exchanged as freely as before, The
Canadian postal system has long been
doing an immense amount of work in
carrying and distributing United States
newspapers and Derio4icals in Canada
without receiving any remuneration
whatever, while the like service done
for Canadian periodical across the bord-
er has been relatively small. The new
revelations will require that second plass
matter crossing the border mast be
at raped, instead of having postage paid
on its bulk weight; the rats, too, has
been inoreased from one Dent per pound
to o:Ie cent for every four ounces or
pant of four ouncett.
How Noll this work out? It will mean
that a weekly newspaper published in
Canada will have to pay postage on each
singe copy of its publication sent to
sub.oribers, advertisers, or to exchanges
in the United Slates. It will mean the
setae thing to newep tpers published in
the Uuited States ani circulating in
Canada. la neither case will the pub-
lisher pay it; the reader will pay for it
or a andel his subscription, and no doubt
a great many sabscriptions will be can-
celled. Newspapers on opposite sides of
the border will no longer exchange copi-
es runless esoh is of real value to the
other. In fact the volume of matter
heretofore carried both ways aerose the
border by mail will greatly diminish.
The Canadian postal service will do less
unpaid carrying for American periodi-
cal%, for there will be a great deal leas of
it to do. The free and untaxed exchange
of papers and periodicals Games to au
end.
Subscribers in the States who have
been getting Canadian papers at a sub-
scription price of $1 per year, will now
have to pay $1 60

MARKET FOR ONTARIO WHEAT.
Right Breathing Cures Catarrh.
Simple Way to Kill Catarrh Germs
in Nose, Throat and Lungs.
The only natural and common sense
method known for the cure of eatharrh-
al troubles is Hy-o•mei. It is breathed
through an ingenious pooket inhaler, so
that its medicated air retches the most
remote air cells of the nose, throat and
lungs, killing all catarrhal germs, sooth-
ing the irritated mucous membrane, and
restoring a healthy condition.
Hy -o mei goes right to the spot where
the oatarrhal germs are present in the
nose, throat and lunge and destroys the
germs so that perfect health is soon re
stored.
A complete Hvo-mei outfit with in-
haler costs but $1.00 and is sold by
Walton McKibbon under guarantee to
refund the money unless the remedy
gives satisfaction.
That the people of Oatario rely upon
the prairie provinces for a considerable
portion ot their fi,inr is today a fact
that few would care to deny. It is
venally true that the loss of the home
market has been she cause of the diver-
sion of money from Oatario and Ontario
industries to buil3 up the hustling West.
There are to -day in Ontario thousands
of farmers who grow less wheat than
formerly, and then grumble because the
price of bran and shorts has advanced
from twelve or fifteen dollars a ton to
the almost phenomenal figure of twenty
or twenty-two. In spite of the apparent-
ly substantial showing made by oar
province in the production of this our
most valuable of grains, when viewed
comparatively the ontpnt is limited and
so far from satisfactory that millers can
only run from eight to ten hours a day.
Notwithstanding the free advertising of
the western wheat lands, western flour
conld never have gained the foothold it
his in the Ontario market if it had not
been systematically advertised and was
shown in keeping their contrast to give
the public gond transportation service at
reasonable rates. What success ]cave
railway owners had in reaping the sub-
stantial profits which they understood
when they made their investmeute that
they were to be permitted so receive?
The prevalent belief is that Invest

receiverships. To take a single period
as illustrative ot what has taken plane,
dor itg the eighteen months ending July
1, 1894, 43,000 miles of railway -24 per
sent. of the then total mileage of the
country -passed into the bands of re -
o ivers, and between November, 1893,
and November, 1896, the number of
miles of railways in the hands of re•
ceivers was at no time lees than 20.000,
the maximum number at any one time
being 86,619. The experience of the
railways was similar in the bnsiuess de-
presaiuns of 1573 to 1880 and 1835 to
1887
Leaving dnt all duplications of capital,
the net capitalization of the railroads of
the United States for the year , nded
Jane 30, 1905, as shown by the report of
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
was $11,167,105,992, an average of
$63.000 per mile. This was the moat
prosperous year in the history of the
railways of the United States up to that
time, yet the total amount paid in that
year asinterest on bonds and dividends
on stock was but $493,431,435, or au
average of only 4.4 per cent. on the
actual net capitalization
It may be said that the average per
cent. of return was so small because the
roads are overcapitalized But the be.
lief that the railroads as a whole are
over,a,,italizet is another popular de-
lusion. Said Chairman Knapp of the
Interstate Commerce Oummission in a
recent interview: "I regard the oom-
mon talk about the overcapitalization of
railroads as wholly ignorant and mis
taken." Prot, Henry 0. Adams, statis-
tician of the Interstate C immeree Com-
mission, estimated in 1905 that the ag-

wAsn N(t THE COWS' UDDERS.
cows will not stand to -be milked unless
they are eating. This is merely force
of habit and proves my idea as to reg-
ularity. Regularity is the first and
most essential thing in caring for stock.
As to grooming, It pays to do a certain
amount of it.. -
Dairy cows should be groomed each.
day. The amount of grooming may de-
pend somewhat ou the amount of time
the farmer' can spare from his other
work, but no farmer can afford to
wholly neglect it, no matter what his
other work. What is worth doing at all
is worth doing well, and it is not car-
ing for stock well to ineglect to give
then at least a slight brushing.
No great amount of time need be
spent on them. A man who has never
done it will be surprised to see how
quickly he can go over a lot of cows
with card and, brush if done each day
or what an improvement it will' be to
the stock both in looks and condition.
Two minutes each to a lot of cows
will prove beneficial if the caretaker,
can give diem no more. Be regular,
about feeding, watering, grooming and
milking, and your stock will look well
even If you have other work to de-
mand a good part of your time.
But if one has the stock to require
one man most of the time to care foi
them it is better to have one man dc
the work rather than have two or 1
three do the work up quickly and then
all go at something else. A regular
man in the barn, with perhaps some
help about the' milking, is better than
two or three part of the time and then
no one in the barn through the day.
The illustration, from Kimball's
Dairy Farmer, shows the employees of
a large New York dairy farm washing
the cows' udders just before milking.

Keeping Dairy Cows Clean.
I have a small herd of light colored c
Jerseys, and they are always clean and
free from a thick coat of manure on
their thighs, says a writer in Orange
Judd Farmer. We brush them down
before milking. But the secret of keep-
ing a cow clean is in the stall. No cow
should be tied in a stable 'without a
platform, as it 'would be impossible to
keep her clean even if she were
clipped. Any fitrmer can make n plat-
form in his stable out of clay or ce-
ment. I like a clay ,platform with a
cement gutter, The platform mtist not
be too long or too short; it must be
just right for the length of the cow.
Keep the platform will littered with.

and cows can be kept nice and Olean
without clipping them.
