Edward Blake has tendered his resignation as Nationalist membeif for South Langford, in the British, House of Commons. Miming age and failing health. compel Ilia to leave the political arena and in all probability he will re- turn to Canada to spend his remaining days among his own people. A. writer in the Philadelphia Press contends that gossip in the country villages is not nearly so prevalent as it is in the so oallea best social circles in the oiliestenor is it so vicious. The unkind word, the slanderous word, the character assassinating word, make up a deal of small talk of people of small naiads and corrupt natures. In reporting upon trade conditions in Australia, Canadian trade agents there state that $15,000 worth of butter was exported to Canada last year. This is a rather remarkable condition of afiairs. Canada, a great dairying country; cannot produce enough butter to supply the local demand. And yet we pay out thousands of dollars of public funds every year to promote dairying. What is the matter? Are our efiorta being wrongly directed, or are our farmers going out of the business in spite of what is being done to keep them in? The Empress of Britain sailed up to Qeebec ou Thursday last, having on board Sir Wilfrid Laurier and party, who have returned from the Continent. Long before the steamer arrived great itreparations were made for a suitable reception to the Premier, and a party of fifteen hundred boarded a fleet of vestels, whioh *ailed down the river to meat him. Oa the arrival of the party at Quebec a procession was formed to the Chateau Frontenao, where Sir Wilfrid briefly thanked his friends for their ex- pression of welcome, Sir Wilfrid was else given grand receptions at Montreal and Ottawa, A young man recently went to New York from some plaoe in Canada. Wishing to appear superior he said some nasty, ungrateful things about his native land, called it an 'o11 man's" land and other name whioh he considered detri- mental. The artiole was published by a paper of soins importance, and therefore attracted considerable attention, which was unfortunate. He belongs to a species of yonng men, which we have often noted. Yon have all met them, and, truth to tell, there are young women at the same brand. We are thank- ful that there is another class. They go to the cities. They are drawn there because their kind of life must be lived there. But when success crowns them, when honor comes- to them, when their nim3 is on every tongue, what do they think of the old farm? It is to them a garden of Eden, a place be- loved, enchanted, a place where they ever rove again in fancy, and a place whose cherished memory's as dear as life itself. Canada has many such eons soma the line, and they must blush with. shame for this young ungrateful, who befowls his own nest.— Parkhill Gazette Review. Prof. Hutt has been investigating a pest that attaoke the orchards in Dur- ham County. Several trees have been killed. Owing to the increase in the cost of cotton and labor, and the consequent higher prices paid by wholesalers ' for apool cotton, the retail price of the latter will, it is expected, be increased soon. Four -cent soot& it is stated, will soon be retailing at five or six cents. CANADIAN WHEAT. ..1..."1•100.1•M Wheat is, of course, the staple prodtot of Western Canada, and there is no bett ter teat of sea. Taking the official re. turns for the three prairie provinces for eight yeara, 1898 to 1905, it is found that there was an average yield of 19 73 bushels per acre, which for land cropped year after year without auy resort to ter - Wizen is uncommonly high. The of. Ada average for Minnesota for the limit census period of ten years was 142 bush- ele per am, and for Iowa, 14.7 per acme. In 1808 there were 1,795,812 wee sown to wheat in Western Canada, and from these 31,500,000 bnehele were raised. In 1903 the acreage had increased to 8,849e, 025 acres, and the yield to 83,500,000, an average for that year of over 21 bushels to the acre. These figures tell their own story of the fertility of the emit and the rewards that are reaped by the industri- ous hnsbarldtnan. To handle this enor mous wheat business there are 1,015 interiorelevators, with a storage espaeity of 27,683,000 bushels, representing a capital iuvestnaent of $355,000,000. There are ten terminal elevators at the Lake Superior ports of Fort Whitson and Port Arthur with a total capacity of 1/3,000,- 000 bushels. In addition there are 93 three -roller flour mills at various points throughout the west, with a daily capac- ity of 18,500 barrels. The price of wheat in Western Canada is determined in the main by the price in the Liverpool market, less the cost of transportation to that market from the initial point of initial shipment. This price varies with the season, but it approximates Fort William price per bushel from Winnipeg to Liverpool, at the time of writing the cash price of Fort William wheat as quoted in Winnipeg is 79 1.2 cents per bushel for No. 1 Northern, and propor- tionately less, apcordiug to freight rates, I at pointa in the West. With an average yield 01 80 bushels to the acre, the cash returns on lands purchased at the rela- tively low prices which have been noted are large enough to attract enterprising agriculturists, who make a business of farming for profit, from other lands.— From "Western Canada; Its Resources and Possibilities." by John W. Defoe,. in the American Monthly Review of Reviews for Jane. ANXIOUS MOMENTS. 1.}.P.O1M1.11.=.1000 Thousands of Little Ones Die During the Summer Nonths.

The disease known as Blackleg in cattle, although entirely unknown in many extensive agricultural sections of Canada and not at all wide spread in any district or province, annually causes quite extensive losses to cattle raisers. . Anthrax, whioh is quite a different dis- ease, although frequently confused with Blackleg in the minds of many cattle raisers, is also the cause of serious loss of stock. The former disease is almost entirely confined to cattle under three years, and is genenally fatal. The latter attacks other classes of farm ion - male and the human subject is not exempt from its infection which gener- ally results seriously. By the aid of science cattle raisers are now enabled to protect their stock again- st these maladies. As the human fame, ily is vaccinated against small pox, in the same manner cattle are rendered immune from Blackleg and Anthrax, Tne Department of Agrscultnre at Ot. tawa through the Health of Animals Branch is now in a position to supply preventive vaccine for each of these dis. eases at the nominal cost of five cents per dose. Until recently, by special ar- rangement with extensive manufactures in the United States, these products were secured at a reduced cost, and were placed in the hands of Canadian Cattle raisers at ten cents per dose for Blaokleg vaccine and fourteen cents per dose for Anthrax vaccine. It is due to the fact that these preparations are now being made at the Biological Laboratory in connection with the Health of Animals Bra ich that they cau be supplied at five cents per dose. The vaccine for Blackleg may be administered by any intelligent person by means of an instrument supplied by the Deit tm nt et lift p r 8 sr cents. _ Anthrax vaccine, which Is also sup- plied at five cents per dome, is more difficult to administer, requiring a qualified veterinarian to treat an animal. Cattle raisers who have fear of an attack of either Blackleg or Anthrax would do well to apply to the Veterinary Director General at Ottawa for the pro- per preventive treetment, or tnat Dandruff There is one thing that will cure it—Ayer's Hair Vigor.

George Stirton of Smith Dorchester wet found dead bed. It wasn't a Missouri editor but a print- er's devil who was going through his first experience on "making up" forms. The paper was late and the boy got the galleys mixed. The first part of an obit' nary notice of a pectutious citizen had been dumped in the formee, and the next handful of type carne off a galley describing a recent fire. It seed like this: "The pall -bearers lowered the body to the grave and it was consigned to the names, there were few if any re. greta, for the old wreck had been an eyesore to the towa for years. Of course there was individual lose, but that was fully covered by insurance." The widow thinks the editor wrote the obituary that way because the lamented partner of tier toys and sorrows owed him five year's subseription. Live Stools Markets Toronto, July 23 —The run at the City Cattle market to -day was 112 loads, 1,810 head of cattle, 1,059 sheep and lambs, 400 hogs, and 302 calves. Market is dull, owing to warmer weather. There was a heavy run, and prices went off all round from 20o to 25o on cattle. There was practically nothing doing in the export garb, what few heavy cattle there might be offering sold for the local bather trade, a few picked ones of very choice quality selling at good prices. For the regular run of batoher cattle the demand was easier, and common stuff was hardly wanted. Sheep and lamb market is easier and weak. Hog market is steady and unchanged from last week's quotation. There was but a light run of hogs, and selects sold steady, $6 90. The stocker trade is off, there being very little enquiry. Sheep and Iamb market weak and lower. Hogs: Quotations were unchanged from last week. There was a light ran of hogs. The following are the quotations: Exporters' cattle— Per 100 lbs.
