No more competition, but nevertheless we will not take advantage of being alone. That is not our char- acter. Instead of raising the price we will low’cr it. Wo have always sold, at 10c per quart. Of course it was superior quality and it is the same quality we will sell now iu plain ice cream at 20c per quart, but we have fancy ice cream that wc cannot sell at such prices, such as NeapoUon ice cream and Sherbets

Why is our ice cream superior to olhei*s ? 1st Because it is made of pure cream. 2nd It is stcrelized. 3rd All impure taints are destroyed. 4th No ingredients arc used. Price, plain ice cream 2ôc (piart, Neapoli* ton ico cream 40c to.)0c, Sherbets 3-)C ql., water ices .30c.

We regret to chronicle the death at Cornwall, where the family were visiting, of the infant son of Mr. and Mrs. II J II Lovis, wliich sad event took place on Friday. The remains were interred in the cemetery hero on Sunday afternoon. Rev. J Cormack assisted by Air R B Blytli conducted the service. To the bereaved we e.xtend our heartfelt sympathy.

Among onr observations this week wc noted the delajiidated state of oiir cemetery There you find stones fallen down, weeds and grass growing rank among and on the graves. The cemetery on the whole is void of tho very semblance of order or care. In a few cases friends have planted flowers and shrubs on and around the graves of their departed. A custom which does not only beautify but practically demonstrate that all friends of by gone days are held in loving remembrance.

Tho C.A.R. station presented a very ani- mated appearance on Wednesday morning when 28 excursionists left by the 10.07 train for Manitoba and the North West. Among those from tho town and vicinity we noticed D A Munroe, Colin St John, Peter Hamel, Alf Guay, Clias Willard,Aiiss Cassic AlcRae, Alaxville ; Thos Alunroe Alex Cameron, Alisses Edith McRae, Eva AlcRae, Eliza McRae, S Sinclair, Anna- lena Sinclair, St Elmo ; Archie Campbell, Chas Arkinstall, Ed Campbell, Aiiss Cassie Arkinstall, Athol.

Robt Cameron has severed liis connection as clerk with the EdwardsTradingCo., a position he has held since tho firm started business here. Ho also held a similar position with their predecessors here, Messrs Smillie Bros. By his gonial manner and obliging disposition “Bob” has become a general favorite and will be greatly mis.scd by tho numerous customerons of that well known establishment. He goes to accept a position in Lancaster carrying with him our best wishes for his future success.

Qute a number from here attended a magistrates court in Moose Creek on Tues- day, as interested parties, and heard the usual farcical decision given. “The case is dismissed, each party pay their own costs.” This verdict is becoming very popular, and makes law a laughing stock, instead of being the rendering of justice to the wronged. If one man owes another and refuses to pay the same, and has to be proceeded against in a lawful manner to recover the amount, has not the defendant a right to pay all costs ? Most assuredly just in the same way, if a man causes loss or damage to another and refuses to settle the same, lias he not in the same manner a right to pay all costs if legal proceedings be taken ? And if he bo found “not guilty” he should bo tinder no costs to clear himself.

Among tlio arrivals on tho Thursday evening train from the west was Rev Jas Cormack who has spent the past six weeks in travelling through the western parts of Canada and tho United States, being a delegate to the great international C. E. convention held in San Francisco, at the conclusion of which lie spent some time in visiting old Glengarry friends in tlie Gold- en State and British Columbia. A largely attended welcome liomo social was held Tuesday evening on the nianao grounds which were beautifully arranged for the occasion. Dr. AIcDiarmid acted as chair- man in Ins usual happy manner. A short musical programme was rendered after whicli Air Cormack gave a very graphic and interesting account of his trip. Short addresses were also-given by Messrs R B Blythe and A B Ross. The remainder of the evening was spent in a social manner interspersed with colfee and cake.

The harder the II. S. liits ns iho more

wc flourish. The more she siirrc/umU lier-

sell with bigii walls,wiih tlio ho[>'> of killing

us commercially, the more we sec how in-

dependent we are of her trade.

Even if the Ontario rroviociul Govern-

ment was all wrong, us a few Tories,

have the temerity to say, what advantage

would there be in changing for men who

would be hand in glove with the Tappers,

McGreovys, Ilkycrts, Carons and ail the

rest who waxed fat at Ottawa for 18yoars?

Owing to the heavy crops in IVfanitoba

and the North West Territories it is said

that 5000 harvest hands are wanted in that

portion of the Dominion. As many of the

men, residing in the North West, have left

for the Crow’s Nest Railway, British

Columbia and the Klondike, it is probable

that a scarcity of help with consequent

high wages will prevail for some time.

The New York Sini and Jonnud' seem to

think that the annexation of Canada to the

U. S. would be an easy matter. If things

are not made just to suit the .American

miners in the Klondike then these journals

would have Canada sieved and forcibly

taken from Britain.

It is to be hoped, for their own bendlt

tliat none of the American miners in that

region will be as silly as the editors of the

New York Sun and the Journal.

Heaven preserve us ! According to

Tory papers, the following countries will

be entitled to the 12^ per cent reduction on

duties, under the preferential clause, Ar-

gentine Republic, Austria-Hungary, Boli-

via, Chili, Corea, Muscat, Persia, Liberia,

Madagascar, Biam, Tunis, Uraguay and a

lot of other countries, whoso entire trade

in a year, with this country wouldn’t be

envied by a pedlar. No doubt, it seems

awful to think of all these countries com-

ing under the preferential tarifl but when

we come to sec how much their trade with

Canada amounts to, we can appreciate the

heartfelt agony experienced by these Tory

papers and jjoliticians, over the loss to

Canada’s revenue.

Mr. Wliitney’s task of defeating tlie

Hardy government, a feat which he predicts

with a good deal of assurance that he will

accomplish,is best summed up bya contem-

porary as follows :—“He had better start

in and beat the Patrons first before he

boasts of his ability to beat the Govern-

ment. In order to defeat the Government

he requires to carry every seat now hold by

his present supporters, all the Patron seats,

and some scats belonging to the Govern-

ment as well. When you figure it down

that way it shows just what sort of a task

Mr. W'hitney haa before him. Looking at

the matter from his point of view must be

something like a man undertaking to shovel

away the Rocky Mountains and surveying

his job before lifting his first shovelful.”

appear that the application of the minimum tariff to the importsfrom the favored nations would reduce the revenue during the present year by almost $000,000. But it is precisely here Mr. Fielding’s revenue provision comes into play. The Mail and Empire has, in its haste to make a point, forgotten all about the following qualifica- tion of the tarilT:—“Provided, however, that these redactions shall not apply to any of the following articles, \v/.: wines, malt liquors, Ii<juid medicines and articles containing alcohol, sugars molasses and syrups of all kinds, the product of the sugar canc or beet root, tobacco,.cigars and cigarettes.”

Taking a few of these articles, wc find that Germany sent us last year for home consumption raw sugar to the value of $1,875,.582, on which the duty was $410,374, and that our total imports of raw sugar from “all other countries,” inclusive of Germany, were valued ot $4,055,568, on which a duty of $1)60,501 was paid. Mol- asses and refined sugar imports were valued at $400,096 and duty of $50,040 was paid. French brandy, valued at $255,892, paid duties of $330,901 ; gin from Holland valued at $103,871 paid duties of $772,175 ; wines valued at $339,000 paid $220,000 of duty ; cigars valued at $208,300 paid duties of $209,619. These half dozen items of imports on whi.-.h no reduction of duty will be made total up to $5,521,727 in value and $2,.552,32G in duty. They do not exhaust the list, but they leave only seven millions’ worth of dutiable goods coming from all the world otlier than Great Britain and United States, and paying $2,145,104 of duty on which there is a possibility of reduction to the minimum rate. A cut of 12 1-2 per cent on this would amount to $268,138 on the year. The probability is that with tobaccos, perfumes and similar articles excluded, the application of the minimum tariff to the favored nations will not mean a dollar more than the amount named by our correspondent for the past four months.

Another holiday diversion of The Mail and Empire is to hold a long list of “favored nations” up before us, and remark in the tone of a professional mourner, “Excuse those tears, but is our beloved Canana to suffer from the competition under the minimum tariff of Algeria, Bolivia, Chili, Corea, Liberia, Muscat, Salvador, Persia, Tonga, Tunis, Uruguay, Venezuela, etc. ?” It rolls of the list like a waiter in a dime restaurant. In a dazed fashion, feeling that all sorts of calamities are impending from this competition, we turn up tlic list of imports and find that from most ot the “favored” nations we never bought a dollars’ worth of goods, while from others like Persia we have imported goods to the value of as much as $515 a year. If this minimum tariff stands we may yet be inundat- ed by a cargo of South Sea shells from Tonga.—The Globe.

The U.S. War Department recently

made a contract with Hughes Bros. &

Bangs for the construction of the Buffalo

breakwater. Uuder the contract the gov-

erninont was to take the stone from Can-

adian quarries across the lake and lay it

down at the breakwater. It was held at

first that this could be done without in-

curring any duty. Now however the col-

lector of customs at Buffalo notifies the

War department that he must levy duty

on the stone. The difliculty is that the

engineers have no money to pay the duty

on the stone and tlio work must therefore

stop, incurring serious loss unless matters

can be arranged. It is estimated that the

duties tl-;e government must pay itself on

the stone would amount to upwards of

$250.0ÜÛ, according to the coiistrucUon

REFUND OF DUTIES

Midsummer finance is always apt to be somewhat off color, but tlie following from The Mail and Empire is so frankly misleading that a correction is necessary. The Mail and Empire says:—“We shall have to refund Germany, Belgium, France and the rest of the favored nations 12 1-2 per cent of the duty collected on the goods imported from them during almost the whole of the past four months.

“The Ottawa correspondent of Tlie Toronto Globe, who is now the most lîole- mical writer on that paper estimates the sum of tliis refund at iJ e ‘trifling amount’ of $50,000.

“In the fiscal year emdt-d 30th -Tune, 1896, the customs duties collected on articles imported from Germany, Belgium, Aubliia-Umigaiy, Franco, Denmaik, Spain and its posecssions, araouutc-d lo $3,200,006. The duly paid on the goods of all the

MUSHKOOM n.Vl'lNU.

Dr. Fletcher in answer to a query upon this subject, when recently calling upon the cntymologist and botanist of the Central Experimental Farm, said that it was one of importance under consideration in his department. The subject of the clanger in eating many of the plants, which are generally classed under the name of toadstools, is a matter of special interest and one frequently referred to by the press of the country and by correspondents with the department. The question has been frequently asked, what is the difference between a toadstool and a mushroom ? As a matter of fact neither of these appella- tions has any definite meaning. The usual interpretation of mushroom is a fungus which is edible, and of a toadstool, one which is poisonous. Quite recently, said Dr. Fletcher, a statement appeared in one of tlie leading newspapers in Canada that only one kind of toadstool was actually poisonous. This is incorrect as the following extract from a letter of Prof. Fariow, of Harvard University, Mass., who is one of the highest authorities on the subject of fungi, should convince anyone. Prof. Fariow says :—“ The statement that only one kind of fungus is poisonous is quite misleading. It is a groat mistake to en- courage the belief that there is only one fatal species, when there are several which are known to be deadly poisonous and probably fatal. The amateur should not believe that there is little or no danger in eating any species which he may find. In most cases of death from fungus-eating it has been impossible to say certainly which species was eaten because the persons injured have not been able to give exact testi- mony on this point. There is little doubt

There are four specimens which may be particularly mentioned because there is so little danger of mistake in identifying them. All kinds of puff-ball are edible while solid and white inside. Tlien there is the Fairy- ring mushroom, which grows in rings upon lawns and is of a creamy white color, having the gills wide apart. This specimen has a sweet nutty odor and flavor. A third kind grows in pine woods and is also a great luxury. It is called the Morell,and cannot well be mistaken for any poisonous kind. It is cone-shaped, hollo .s- and re- sembles a piece of honeycomb, or sponge, with large orifices. The fourth species is called the Maned mushroom, from the hairy tufts which cover the outside of the fungus. It is shaped like a half-opened umbrella, blunt on top and borne on a tall, white stem.

AN INSUCT.

Dr. Fletcher then changed tlie subject to that of insects. He desired to offer a few words of advice in respect to guarding against the attacks of the carpet moth. This insect each recurrent year is the cause of enormous loss which might easily be prevented. It is only necessary to understand the life liistory of the past to sec the wisdom of guarding property against its destructive operations. It is not the carpet moths themselves which injure our property, but the small white caterpillars which hatch out from eggs laid by these moths. The insect passes the winter in the shape of a small grub which is more or less torpid, according to the heat of the building. This caterpillar, in the spring following, changes first to a chrysalis and then to the small, satiny, drab-colord moth, so well known to almost every house keeper. This moth is attract- ed by instinct to any material which will afford suitable food for their young, and begins at once to lay eggs, from which the caterpillar is hatchei. These caterpillars feed only upon substances of an animal nature such as wool, hair, featliers Ac., and do not feed upon vegetable libre us cotton,

flax Ac., therefore any articles to be pro- tected, will, if wrapped up securely in either paper, cotton or linen, before the moths appear, be safe from injury. Great care must be taken that the very minute eggs have not been laid in the clothing before being laid away. Camphor, cedar and many other things, including that abominable mal-odorant, naphthaline, sold under the name of moth-balls, and moth camphor, are of comparatively little value after the moths have laid their eggs. The great majority of people, although they may talk a good deal, do very little towards protecting their property from the ravages of this insect, and although they will not take the trouble properly and carcfcully to lay away their effects before the moths appear, yet will purchase camphorAc., and place it in their boxes, or other storing places, vainly imagining they have done all that was necessary in the premises. If they trust solely to this imperfect means of prevention, they will certainly meet many disappointments by finding their clothing injured late in the season, w’hen much of these trusted preventive agents will have evaporated. Those odoriferous moth-balls do not killUie insect,but simply drive away some of the moths so that they do not lay their eggs within the zone affect- ed by the presence of these balls.

eating of one species called ‘aminita phal- oides ’ than to any other. This is due to its close casual resemblance to the common edible mushroom and the extremely poisonous nature of tlie fungus.” The fungus referred to in this letter is a tall handsome species, wliich may be distinguished from what is generally known under the name of the true mushroom, and which latter plant has a ring around the stem, is pink beneath and possesses a smooth white or browned top—by the points following :—Tlie Amanita has at the base of the stem a parcbment-like, cup-shaped case which, when tlie fungus is below the soil, encloses the whole toadstool ; but as it matures the plant bursts through, leaving the major part of the case at the base of tlie stem while carrying some of it on its crest in the foi’m of white scales or warts which are easily rubbed off. Its top is white, sometimes tinged with yellow, and even with bright orange or red, and it has a ring around the stem similar to that on the edible mushroom. But the edible mushroom never has the cup-shaped wrap- per at the bottom of the stem. The gills beneath the poisonous fungus are pure white at every stage of growth, and it is free from disagreeable taste or smell. This last peint is a most important one to renjcniber as many eat of the fungus, iheir only guide being wlietlier they tasted and smelled nice.

Ottawa, Aug. 16.—Instructions were issued from tho Customs Depjirtment to-day to collectors to note that importa- tions. to be entitled to the heneflt of the preferential rat-e. must be direct from the country of origin, 'Fhis, however, is not enforced literally. Where goods are im ported through a foreign country where they have been entered for immediate transportation, they are considered to have been imported direct from the country of origin. Where goods enter into bond in another country, they arc not deemed to have been imported din*ct. 'Fhis has been the iiolicy of the department, and is unchanged, though there is strong temiitation at the present time to induce an alteration. 'Fhe concession is an important one to .such American ports as New York and lôrtland. It i.s

PREFERENTIAL TRKATMEN'F. A circular was issued to-day by the

Department of Customs to ciillectors in- structing them to admit goods the product of I'Tance, Algiers, and the French colonies under the preferential clause of the tariff. This is the immediate result of the decision of the law olliccr.s of the Crown that Germany and Belgium are entitled to preferential treatment, as a clause in the French treaty negotiated in 1884 stipulates that Franco and lier col- onics should participate in any “advantage.s” granti'd “by Canada” to “any third power.” The “third jiowcr” means any power beyond the two (Great Britain and France) who were signatories to the treaty. The Government has now admitted that four “powers,” Great Britain, Germany, Beigiiim, and Fnince, with their colonie.s and dependencies, and one self-governing colony (New Houtli V>'ales are entitled to 12)4 per cent, reduction of the tariff rates at present, and 25 per cent, after 1st July, 1898. 'Fhis numlier must of necessity be added to as other nation.s having trojities with Great Bri- tain which contain the “most favored nation” clause make claims for ]>refer- ential treatment, so that in a short time every nation under the sun, except tho United Htates, will lie entitled to a reduction of duty.

CLAIMS FOR REBATE.

The first claims for rebate of the money illegally collected by the Custom.s Department on German and Belgia^ goods were ri’celved at tlio Customs De- partment to-day. 'Fliey were three in number, but will be followed bya dc'luge of claims in tho next few days. 'Fhe ad- judication of the accounts will entail much additional work upon the Customs Department.

A LUMBER KI'IVIVAL.

A revival in the lumber industry, which lias been temporarily depressed, is predicted. Several concerns jire now opening up camps on their limits, and it will not 1)0 long liefore men will bo in demand. At present tlicrc are fewer shantymen in Ottawa tlian for years. Upwards of 2,üü() men have gone to tho Northwest to work on the Crow’s Nest Pass railway.

'Fhe result of the revival in the industry is due in a great ]iart to the failure of the sale of McLvrhlan Bros.’ limits on 'Fiusday, Hirici^ all the jiarccls were witlidrawn the linn has decided to oiior- ate them again, aihl ujiwards of l,Ui)0 men will be wanted for tlie linn at once.

The Hawkesl)urg Lumber Company are going to operate on a large seal", and have already started tnenijilny hands for the bush. All the old shanties will bo opened, as well as many new camps. 'The first largo sliipme.'it of men was sent north yostei-day by Mr. \V. B. Re- naud. It conqtrised fJO men. To-day 10Ü were engaged liy the same gentleman and sent to tho woods.

Agricultural College. An Interesting Letter to the Toronto

Globe From Mr, D. M, Macpherson, M,P,P.

Tha füllowinfî letter appeared in the ^lobc of August 11th in reply to one written by Professor Mills of the O. A. C.,

iiclph some months previously. The letter will be of interest to-many of our ipaders and we therefore take much pleas- :rc in reproducing the same :

(To the Kditor of The Globe.)

Sin,—During the session of 1897 of the ')ntario Legislature the Ontario Agricul- :iiral College at Guelph became the subject jf criticism by members of the Iiegislature >n the floor of the Uouse. This eventually resulted in a reply from President Mills of tl)o aforementioned institution, in which [he endeavors to answer critics and defend the management of the college, of which he is the head. As a member of the On- to] io Legislature, who is in a special sense interested the prosperity of the industry of agriculture in the country and as one who ventured to make a few observations anent the 0. A. C. on the floor of the House, I desire to explain and defend my position and put myself right with the public on the question. As a farmer and the representative of a farming community in the Provincial Parliament I deem it my duty not only to make myself familiar with all that pertains to the success and utility of the Ontario College of Agriculture under the control of the Provincial Parliament, but also to make original research, and as I have opportunity, submit suggest! >ns of improvement, the utilization of which may facilitate the efforts of the nianagen eat in keeping the institution in the vanguard of iti kind. I readily concede the valuo of college professors not only in routine work but also in original research, yet they have not a monopoly of discovery in any department of investigation. This fact is strik- ingly illustrated in the realm of agriculture, lienee I bad expected that Pretilent Mills, with his characteristic alertness to improvement and usual generous mental liospitality, woyld have discussed suggestions and replied to criticisms on their merits rather than have resorted to the tactics of the injured. It must be expected that improvements will continue to be suggested, for the ideal of to-day may be the ob-3olete of to-morrow.

COLLEGE BOOKKEEPING.

President Mills in his defence herein referred to says :—“I hope it does not follow from this that our bookkeeping is defective or that we need a special accout- ajtl to put tilings in proper shape.” My contention in the House, and I shall now endeavor to substantiate that contention, was that the bookkeeping of the 0. A. C. is defective and inadequate to meet all the requirements of a Government experiaient-

.al station. I take this position after a careful examination of the system by which the college and fuim accounts are

kept, especially as they relate to the practical and experimental departments. This does not imply that moneys have not teen duly credited and accounted for, there is no insinuation of misappropriation, but I sincerely contend that the system of book- keiping is not commensurate with the public requirements of an institution exist- ing largely for practical and experimental purposes. Before the results of experimental and practical work are appreciated and utilized those directly interested will insist upon knowing the following in relation to experimental and even more particularly to practical work : (1) The cost of

' production of individual crops. (2) The comparative value of different methods of work, or the profitable and unprofitable direction of labor. (3) The labor cost of production. (4) The capital cost of production. (5) Incidental expense. Take as an illustration the college farm. It pro- duces hay, corn, ensilage, roots, wheat, oats, barley, peas, milk, etc., yet no sub- division of charges are kept of cost of production, ciiber as regards capital, labor or maintenance, lienee the cost of production of any one individual crop is not known. An exception I do find in the feeding of animals for experimental purposes. There are evidences of a proper debit and credit covering experiments. A good business man engaged in a productive business should know the exact cost of production in relation to each article produced. With- out the means of acquiring this he cannot know accurately where his losses occur or where his profits arise. If ho does not know which department is making a profit or which is causing loss it can be fairly said his system of management as it re- lutes to bookkeeping is seriously defective and inadequate, and in experimental and practical work it is simply intolerable. The

- farmer requires not only to know the cost of producing a full crop in its several phases, but also how and under what conditions can the said crop be made the greatest cash and capital valuer in what combination will it give the largest cash and capital returns ; its value when fed for milk, beef or pork respectively. The act counts as kept at the college do not show

J wliat I have just said is necessary to know. PfXhey do not indicate the cost of production I nor the value of the product in every pro-

bable combination. I regard such as very important, and more attention thereto would tend to make the institution a finan- cial success and wonderfully augment the attractiveness and utility of the college and farm to the students and fanners of the Dominion. The professors of the O. A. C. as well as those of other similar institu- tions, have very frequently advised farmers ^0 keep complete and accurate accounts of cost of production of individual crops and tlio profits resulting directly or indirectly therofrotn. The advice is good, but has been to a large extent lost, because the institution from whence the advice proceeded did not by the measure of its practice of the Siune inspire enough confidence to induce imitation. This has certainly marred the usefulness of the institution. It ought to be the paragon of all excellence

1 ill agriculture, a model in system and •executive activity.

P THE eÊKCE OF FAItMING.

1 1 further ask permistion to state a few j thoughts concerning the principles and axioms underlying in the foregoing criti- ■iiin. Tlie pursuit of profitable agriculture nvolves three distinct departments of

tJiought : (Ij Thorough science, (2) thorough business, (3) thorough practice. Each of these mutually co-operating secures the liighest results. It ought to be borne in mind that a unique proficiency in any onedepart- nient will by no means compensate for a marked deficiency in another department. As a rule a man’s success io agriculture

be largely influenced by the weakest [caturc in any one of the aforo-mentioned

•quirements. The study of agricultural 'science secures the knowledge of facts,

I laws and causes, but the province of the said science is not to determine values or profit and loss, hence in the hands of some men truth is not always profitably utilized. But it is within the province of agricultural business science to determine the value of facts, laws and causes, also the value of these things in all useful combinations. Agricultural business science formulates plans, the execution of which will prodnee results at a miDimuni of cost and a maxi- mum of profit. It is not enough that a man be'^^roficient in the science of agriculture if he would succeed, thorough business is required for the proper commercial direction of the knowledge acquired. Busi- ness aptitude is not enough ; to this must be added the necessary skill to secure the efficient co operation of the forces of nature. Each department is of fundamental importance ; the highest skill for practical work, the latest discovery in science, with the most approved business methods and axioms directing each. If these features co-exist in mutual co-operation success in farming is virtually accomplished, is within sight. It must be contemporaneous with such conditions. The higher the efficiency in each of the three afore-mon- tioned requirements the higher the finan- cial result.

As a natural sequence to tlio foregoing, an agricultural college hoping tp produce

the best results must teach three distinct branches of agriculture, and emphasize three distinct features in the training of students : (1) The acquisition of truth as related to agriculture ; (2) familiarity with axioms and procedure in relation to the said truth ; (3) the skilful execution and demonstration of the truth. One-sided is an enemy to success ; only a full-orbed training can give the best results. Does the O.A.C. fulfil these requirements ? I bolievo not. The principles of agriculture are efficiently taught in the college and farm at Guelph, but the work of familiar- izing the students and the public of the economic value of the discovered facts and principles of agriculture, in all possible combinations and conditions, is practically nil, hence the monetary value of college instruction is virtually lost, and education in agriculture as an investment becomes inattractive. A knowledge of the principles and practice of agriculture ma}' teach us how to produce an abundant crop. So far so good, but there is another important aspect. IIow can that abundant crop under given conditions of environment, competition and markets be made a maxi- mum profitable crop ? This is important, because abundant crops are only valuable to the extent they are profitable. We are apt to be led away with the idea that abundant crops are necessarily profitable. How can we with precision determine what crops are genuinely profitable ? Only by work carefully conducted and accurately recorded. It is then obvious that a farm operated largely for experimental purposes must have a xery elaborate system of debit and credit accounts, if it would be useful in the highest degree, making it clear at a glance the cost of crops per acre, ton and per bushel. Further, let accounts indicate the feeding, the cash and capital value of these crops fed for different purposes to different kinds of animals and in what combinations, and for what purposes are th?y of the greatest economic value. This ought to include a statement of the com- paralivo values between crops fed on the farm and sold off it.

BUSINESS TltAINING.

I have no fault to find with the person- nel of the staff of the O.A.C. To the best of my knowledge they have given the country hofiest and faithful service ; but I firmly maintain that there is an impera- tive need of reorganization with a special business department under the direction of a business professor, one who is tlioroughly conversant with the economic value of the facts and laws of the science of agriculture, not only of their individual value, but also their value in all possible combinations. He sliall devise and design the best metliods of work, the best system of keeping farm accounts ; iu short, he shall be the architect of the farm for practical and commercial purposes.

I have no quarrel with President Mills. My attitude is one of friendliness and good- will. The college is a worthy institution, and claims my approbation. My motive in writing is an unselfish one, my aim is the development of the industry of agriculture, and I virtually aid the realization of this aim when I submit suggestions as herein outlined looking to the improvement and added (-fficiency of the O.A.C. at Guelph. It is my humble opinion that the business requirements of successful farming render it urgently desirable that our young men be secured a training appropriate and adequate t® meet the business requirements of their calling. Adequate attention to the business-department of the industry of agriculture at the O.A.C. would make that institution superlatively more useful and influential. As a factor in progressive and profitable agriculture it would be unequal- led. It may never reach the stage when it will be beyond criticism ; nevertheless so long as the management keeps step with advancing thought and utilizes advanced and approved systems and practices which clearly attest their value the public, through their representatives, will give most cordially what monetary aid is need- ful to keep in efficient operation an institution so powerful in shaping and aidiug the commercial prosperity of our people.

Fig. 1 represents an interior bent in a basement barn plank frame. There may or may not be .sills in tlic basement, to suit the pleasure of the owner. If there arc no sills, the posts may stand on stone pillars. The posts (1) are made of 2 by 8 plank, two pieces extending

the plates and one piece to the joist bearers (3). The short posts (2) extend to tho floor, and both joi.<t bc-arers and joists are .secured to them, while tlie braces (4) make the posts rigid and .nip- port tho joist bearers; Ô represcut.s the ends of the joists and 6 the floor level; 7, the purlin posts, are secured to the main po.sts and joist bearers and reach tho roof support.^ (8) just beneath tho purlin plates (9).

Then tliry arc secured together by tho collar beams (JO), wliicli are 2 by 12 and 5 or G feet long.

Tlie purlin braces also enter thisspaco at the preper distance from eaeli roof support, wlino they are then spilced, the lowm- end of the.so braces being secured to tl)c jowir end of t!i8 sta^'.s. Tho upper ends of the purlin pests arc cut so as to form «ad-

If a gambrel roof is desired, the purlin posts are placed at tho proper juiglo and extend above the roof support a sufficient distance to give tho piteli di^- sired for both scction.s id the roof.

While we have endeavored to make the various points plain to the average reader it is impossible to explain or il- lustrate every point on paper.

An old railroad bridge engineer who visited one of these barns iu Mieliigan declared it was the strongest barn frame he liad ever seen. Ten years lienro all frame barns will be built of plank either by this .system or some other.

I have more tlian once advocated tho raising of a strong, able type of the thoroughbred for tho European cavalry market. Furthermore, I believe that tlio tough stocik of Nov.’ York and Verment, from v.'hieh has descended .such a long line of noble trotting blood, is the best foundation for such breeding, and that that region, nearer tho scaeoast and more humid than the west or middle west, is mîst suitable for tho raising of^ horses intended for Jiard service in Eng- land, France or Germany, For Eng- land’s African and Indian .'Jcrvico I Avould take tbo tough little native half Spanish stock of Southern California and tho valley of tlie lîjo Grande, bred to Arab sires of good weight. But it is not tho niceties of breeding of whicli I wish especially to speak, leaving that to more cxiierieiicod Jiead^, hut rather of the actual demand for fore ign cavalry horses and the poverty of tlie American market, which ought to be able to .sii])- ply the Avorld.

The Belgian ministry cf war ha.s recently made inquiry of our agrieuJtuial department about American Jiorsr.s, and tho Frencli war cfTice lias gone to the length of sending Mr. Louis Noel to Kansas City, Cliicago and other Ameri- can horse markets to make a pev.ônal investigation, and if he is .satisfied Avifch the olTering.s to buy 100 horses and mules for shipment to France. In connection with the mis.siou of Mr. Noel Dr. do Malliol, who made .some time since a preliminary report to the Freiudi goTcrninent, which led to its taking the present action, .says, as reported iu a Kansas City paper:

In a very few years America will not have enough liorses to supply Europe. Franco alone has 130 regiments of cavalry, and eacli regiment has about 1,000 liead of h.cr.«es. France has tho finc.«t cavalry in the world. She never pays less than $200 apiece for the luirse.s of her private soldier.s, and her ofli< er.s’ lior.ses cost her from .?ô00 to $700 apiece.

Market Hog of t!io P2-esent Day.

The market UOAV requires long, loan pigs, Avith the red and Avhito meat Avell mixed. Fat masses of blubbi r Avhich formerly were in demand arc noAV suitable for tho Imnher Avoods, arctic expe- ditious and the like, for Avhieh purpose it is purchased at a IOAV figure, Avhilo there is an unlimit«‘il demand for lean meat at reninnerative prices,

Tho improA’cd Large. Yorkshire has become very popular Avitli the pork pack- ers, Avho consider it iJie best factor for bacon production. This breed has been tried in all parts of the Avorld. Ireland •and Denmark hold perhaps the highest positions as producers of superior pork and bacon, and it is mainly due to the introduction of largo numbers of improved Large Yorkshires into these countries that tliey have achieved s’uob a high position in the English markets. Tlii.s breed ansAvers the rcquircmeiit.s of tlio pork packer in every respect. It is light iu tho head, has light neck and sl)0ulder.«, Avell sprung rib.s, Avifh good heart girth, a narroAV, well fleshed back and thick loins, great length, full flanks ami hams Avell letdOAvn. The meat cou- sists of a very largo proportion of lean, while it is a rapid grower and will fat- ten easily at any time.

The sows are excellent mothers and grand milkers, and, as might be expected from their great length, aro Avell able to rai.se large litters, Avhich they usually prodnee. Their precocity and fecundity are truly Avomlerful. Seldom does a typical York.shire SOAV produce less than a dozi’U pigs at a litter, and tills i.s a very strong point iu their favor.

It i.< not of the slightest use for tho breeders of some of our old established A’arii ties of pigs to Avrite to tho papers and point out the antiquity of their breed and give the opinions of a fcAv breeders of that vniiety. The simple question is: Arc the .shoAA'vard Avinuing pigs of the day those best snited for conversion into bacon, or are they so formed as likely to prove of value for crossing on the common pigs of the country? Tho bacon curers say they are not, Tlie United States exports $-40, • 000,000 Avorth of bacon to England annually. This important trade is, then, Avorth fostering, and the sine qua non for the eonfinnation and increase of (l:i.s (rade i.s the production of such pigs a.s merit the name of the “English bacon hog.”—J.

Some Men

Some men take fire insurance as they take an emetic—shut their eyes and down it goes. Then they expect evcr) thing will “turnout” all rigid. Anything is good enough so long as it is called “insurance” —until there’s a loss—then the man finds the difference between “promises” and “responsibilities.”

LACROSSE MATCH

A lacrosse match will bo played to- morrow afternoon on the l.)riving Park grounds between the Comets of tliis place, and the Young Glengixrrians, of Lancaster, junior champions of Glengarry. The match will be a good one and should draw a large crowd. Admission 15c, children 10c. Ball faced at 2.30 sharp.

THE FALL FAIRS.

Within a short time the three local fairs will be held. The dates arc as follows :— Williamstown, Sepi. 7th and 8th ; Yank- leek Hill, Sept 1-ltb, lOlh and lOtli, and Maxville, Sept 20th and 30th. E.xtensive preparations arc being made in each case and as all three places have an enviable reputation for first class fairs, there is no doubt that large crowds will be in atten dance at each.

EVERYTHING FOUND O. K.

On Tuesday of this w’eok Mr. Valentino G. Chisholm, of Lochiel, Secretary of the Glengarry Farmers’ Mutual Fire Insurance Co., went to Coteau to meet Mr. W. J.Yalc, of Toronto, Insurance Inspector, the object being for the latter gentleman to examine the books, documents, etc., of the company. Needless to say everything was found 0. K., a fact upon which 3VIr. Chisholm is to be congratulated.

ICE-CREAI\I SOCIAL

The ice-cream social held in Alexander Hall, on Thursday evening of last week, under the auspices of the St. Finnan’s So- ciety, was a decided success. A large number of people were present and besides the refreshments served on the occasion, a splendid programme of musical selections, dialogues, farces, etc., was given. A few of the members of the Alexandria Band also rendered a number of selections in their usual pleasing style.

EARLY LAYERS

Mr. Geo. I. Nichols has spring chickens ^ less than live months old, of the Leghorn

variety, which for the past few weeks have been laying eggs daily. Mr. Alex Simpson has also chickens of the same kind that arc also producing eggs. This is a pretty fair record, and speaks well for the attention paid their poultry by these gentlemen, and their success in raising poulty of an egg producing strain.

FIRE INSURANCE CO.

The regular monthly meeting of the Glengarry Farmers’Mutual Fire Insurance Co. was held in the Queen’s Hall here, on Saturday last. Mr. A. A. MoKinnon, president, occupied the chair. There were present all the directors and agents. A largo amount of new business since last meeting was reported, there being upwards of 75 new applications for insurance. The large increase in businessin this institution is the best proof of the careful manner in which its affairs are managed.

THE INTERNATIONAL YACHT RACE

An event that has created consitlerablc interest, was the international yacht race on lake St. Louis between the American Yacht “Moino” and the Canadian “Glen cairn.” The “Momo” won the first race of Saturday last. But the “Glencairn” won the race on Monday, Tuesday and Wednes- day successively thus retaining for another year the Seawanabaka cup wliich she won last year.

TYPHOID FEVER

Several of those who were lately reported as having been laid up with typhoid fever have recovered, Mr. Donald J Ale- Donald, station, is convalescent as is also Rex, the little son of Mr. A. L.McKay. Mr. McKay’s daughter, Ida, is still, however, in a precarious condition. Airs. Angus McDonald, Ins. Agent, and Air. Jas. A. AIcDonell are the only new cases reported this week. Both arc doing fiiirly well.

COUNTY AIODEL SCHOOL

By authority of the regulations of tlic Education Department, the session of the County Model School begins on the 2ml of September. Glengarry candidates for professional 3rd class teachers’ certificates are by the County Board of Examiners, per- mitted to attend the Cornwall County Model School. As this school is fully equipped tcachers-in-training liavo ample opportunities of observing approved methods. of teaching. The school is in all respect second to none in the province. Applications for admission to the County- Model Sc*hool should be made to the In- spector not later than the 25th instant.

MADE IT PAY

The fastest talker on eartli held forth on the Alill Square on Alonday evening. A large crowd of interested listeners gathered around and remained there until they realized times were hard, when they dispers- ed. They did not disperse, however, soon enough to make the talker some fifty dollars richer than when he began talking. He sold electric belts at one dollar each, and promised faithfully to refund tlie money to purchasers, who were dissatisfied with their bargain at the end of a week. He left townthe next morning and will probably return to fulfil his promise at tlie end of a week. Uh yes ! He no doubt thinks Alex- andria is a great field for his business.

AN ENVIABLE RECORD

We doubt if there is any other High School in the province that has liad such astonishing success as the Alexandria High School at the Primary examination recently held in the various High Schools and Collegiate Institutes. Our High School sent up seventeen candidates, and of these, fifteen were entirely successful, a sixtccntli Edgar AIcGrcgor, passing Part I. The success seems the more remarkable when one takes into consideration tlie very youthful ages of the candidates, as well as the fact that tlui list contains noi only the names of those who wore partiuilv successful, but the names of those wlio pas.sed both parts. Aloreovor four of the Pioiiaiy candidates were obliged to try the Fust P’orm examination, anil have pmvi d themselves equal to the occasion.

I COl'NCIL MEETING

Puisnant to loij.niriinient tlic Court of Re\Lion met on Thursday niorning of last

i week in Air. A. I-. Smith’s office. It was ! moved by ,\. D. AIcDonell and seconded by I P. .\. Hnot, that the Assessment Roll be I accepted, carried. The council then held a

brief niceliiig. The sum of $115 was advanced to the contractor for hosetower and firestation, as a first estimate. Five hundred dollars of the account of the Canadian General Electric Company was passed. The meeting then adjourned.

HARVEST EXCURSIONS.

A largo number from this county availed themselves of the harvest excursion rates on Wednesday to points in Alanitoba and the North AVest Territories. Some go merely to visit the country, while others will probably make the west their future home. All carry with them the best wishes of tlicir many friends here including tlie Ninvs. Among those who left on Wednesday were Alessrs. M W Stewart and John II Grant, Dunvegan ; Thomas and James Campbell, Alex A AIcLood, D R AIcGillivray, Donald Fraser and Jolin A W AlcLeod, of Lnggan ; John O’Bletnan, .of Kirk Hill ; Geo Cameron, Lochiel, II A Miller, Ale.xandria, Hugh and Robert AIc- Intjrc, Dalkeith ; Abo Lighthall, Vankleek Hill and Dan Alorrison, Glen Robertson.

A NARROW ESCAPE

On Saturday night as two xvcll known gentlemen, resyiing in the 2nd Con. of Lochiel, were returning home from town, they found at the railway crossing,opposite lot No 31, a man stupified with liquor laying aci'oss the track. He was well dressed and outside of the fact that he was drunk' was apparently respectable. They removed him some distance from the track and awakened him. It was a most fortunate thing for the man that ho xvas found in time, as only half aa hour later a freight train passed over the railway, and had he still been on the track, a horrible death would have been his fate. Tliis(should bo a terrible warning not only to the man who had so narrow an escape, but to all who tamper with liquor.

MARGARET URQUHART

On Sunday morning last, the 15th inst., Aliss Margaret Urquhart, daughter of Air. Alexander Urquhart, lot No. 20-7th Con. Kenyon, passed away after a few days* illness from iioavt failure. She had been in ill health for some time, but her illness had not assumed a serious aspect until within a week of her death. She was forty-three years of ago, and was born on the lot on which she died. Among those who knew her, she was universally loved and esteem- ed for lier many good qualities, and her loss will be keenly felt by her many friends. She leaves to mourn her comparatively early death,an aged father and mother and four brothers and one sister. The brothers are, Alex and AVm., in Kenyon ; Donald, of this town, and Cluistopher, of Bradford, Pa. The funeral took i)lace on Monday afternoon to Dunvegan cemetery and was largely attended. The services were con ducted by Rev. J. Campbell, pastor of the congregation, who preached a solemn and impressive funeral sermon. We extend to the bereaved relatives our deepest sympathy in the hour of their aftUction.

CÜAIEXS VS. IIuNTINGDONS

On Saturday morning last the Comet Lacrosse Club of this town, drove to AIC' Gee’s Point, near River Beaudettc, rowed from there to Port Lewis and then took a bus for Huntingdon, Quo., where they met the lacrosse team of that town in the afternoon in a friendly game. The drive over was both long and tiresome, and the boys were scarcely in good condition for a hard battle after the trip. During their stay in Huntingdon the Comets were entertained at the Central Hotel, where the genial proprietor, Air. J. C. McMillan, a former resi- dent of this place, did everything to make the xisit a pleasant one for the boys. The game was close and exciting, and although tlie final score was 3 to 0 in favor of Hun tingdon, the boys deserve every credit for the plucky fight they put up. One of the games won by Huntingdon was disputed, but allowed by the referee. Throughout the match there was an entire absence of anything indicating the slightest ill feeling, and the Comets speak in the highest terras of the hospitable treatment accorded them by their opponents. We trust that at an o.ivly date they will have an opportunity of reciprocating, not only as far as the kindly feeling shown goes, but also in the matter of the score on the field. The following are the names of the players : Ul-:.TIXiiJ)ON.

July 22nd, 1837.—On board steamer Al-Ki, four days out from Victoria. Aly dear fiionds :—Our journey is proving a very pleasant one. We have had tine weather so far and expect to have it to the end of our journey. We called at Port Wrangle to-day about 3 p.m. and stayed there about an hour. It is an old Russian village, somewhat reminding me of places I read of in the “History of the World” I am reminded now of my school days, when 1 found it so difficult to remember the many islands, sounds, and channels along this part of the coast. They have become a reality to me. The scenery is grand. One would think it was up some tine river he was travelling. We can see land on both sides of the steamer, but it is different to the country on the banks of the St. Lawrence—high wooded mountains instead of broad fields of waving grain.

An amusing incident occurred yesterday morning. About ten o’clock we were steaming along about 12 miles an hour, the water as smooth as glass, when suddenly the cry went up “look at the deer.” He had just got into the water and was swim- ming across to the other side. The captain ordered the engines reversed, had a boat lowered ami took after the deer.They head- ed him off about 100 ft. from the other shore. If you ever saw fine swim- ming it was there. The deer struck out for the shore from which he started, but the boat soon overtook him and one man reached out and grabbed liim. They took him in the boat and rowed back to tlie steamer with their prize amid the cheering of all on board. They tied him up ill the liold of the ship, where he is doing well on hay and cabbage. There are about 120 people on board tins steamer, nearly all bound for the Klondike. There are about 05 horses, 120 liead of cattle and 1000 shceji ou board, all going into Klon- dike, so 1 think we will have sufficient to eat. There are eight in our party and each two makes a company. Aly partner’s name is Pete AlcClanaghan, a good eastern fellow, The rest of the party consists of— John Baker, George Baker, Edward Wilson, Robert Bryce, Peter Davidson and Joe Guyiat, all Scotch except the last mentioned who is a French-Canadian and a miner of several years expc-rienco.

It is only a quarter of a mile to the foot of these mountains. Tallc about excitement in Victoria and Seattle, it is simply a cyclone here. Every? body is leaving and going to Klondike. Tlic people here live principally on mining. The Alaska and Alexico Gold Alining Co. Ltd., and the Freedwell Co. are the two principal companies, t)io latter 1ms tho jargest stamp mills in tho world, never ctopping from one end of the year to the otliL-i'. They employ several thousand hanrls. llotvevc-r tin; mines here are being deserted for ihu Yukon gold fields. Air.

next summer rich. It is needless to say we hope his prognostics arc true.

We cannot get a pound of bacon or flour here until the steamer “(,)ucen” arrives on Monday the 20th, but some of us are going on with what weliavc, tho others intending to follow when the above necessaries arrive. We can bo building our boat until they come and thus -vill not lose much time.

Wo have our hardware all bought,it cos!a Ç13 for each of us and weighs 4bl Ibf. This includes an outfit for building our boat, pick, shovels, a stove, axes, sawsj pitch, tallow, oakum, gold pans, cooking utensils, ropes, nails, boat hooks, sails and a dozen other little things. Our provisions will cost in the neighborhood of ÇüO for about 1100 lbs, and it will cost us about II) cts a pound to get it packed over the divide. This will give you an idea of what it will cost to get in with about a year’s provisions. If I were starting again, I would buy my bacon and flour at Victoria or Seattle, but for other things one can do as well here.

Wc leave Juneau to-night on the steamer for Dyca, and expect to be at Klondike in three weeks.

OUR COMMERCIAL LETTER. MoNTllEAf, Aug. iKtll.

Sir W'illiam Van Ilornc and all the leading authorities aro talking cheerfully of the business outlook and it begins to look now as if things were really picking up in earnest. Certainly the loading railroads have nothing to complain of and their earnings furnish a pretty good indication of the state of trade throughout the country, The earnings of Canadian Pacific last week were ?I99,000; this is closer to the half mil? lion mark than they have been for many a day.This showed an increase over the same week last year of $52,000. All eyes are now turned towards tho crops and if they turn out all right it is thb general beli f that much of tho cautiousness which still exists in business circles will be removed. People here tliink that the wheat crops in Alanitoba this year will bo between 20,000,000 and 25,000,000 bushels and with prices a good deal higher than last year the crops ought to net $5,000,000 to $9,000,000 more. This is without question a big thing.

It is of course estimated that Ontario will participate in the gains and apart from the larger amounts realized on the crops, the dairying industry will be worth several millions more than last year. Cheese it is noted is still advancing in price as high asS.jC to8^c being paid at a number of the leading Ontario boards this week. Prices in Alontreal have naturally gone up in sympathy and the 9c mark for finest Western cheese was reached yesterday. Butter is likewise advancing. Exports have been paying as high as 174c right at the factories and the range for finest creamery here is 17-4c to 17i^c, with steady but rather dull at Î2c to 124c. On the stock market Canadian Pacific shares were lower owing to the talk of the United States putting a ten per cent tax on bonded goods. Tho stock is now 71. Aloney keeps

One of tho features lias been the big demand for wheat. Sales were made all the way from B5c to 90c at Fort William and yesterday a leading miller bid 94c there without finding any buyers. There were sales yesterday of about 100,000 bushels Ontario wheat. There has not been a great demand for oats, but now the foreign markets arp a little firmer for both oats and peas. Sales of fqie forpier ^yere piade here at 28c to 2S^c jn store and 2S4c aiîbat. Peas are firm at 53jc in stojre Nyith à fajr shipping demand. Here ate fhe prjees : Wheat, Fort William 92 topic Oats, afloat 00 to 28^c Oats, in store 00 to 28^c Peas, in store 53 to 53.4c

There is Ijttlc or nothing doing in rye^ barley or buckwheat.

The market lias been higher this week, but altogether very much mixed. Some of the leading Alanitoba millers are quoting as high as $5.40 for patents and $-).0C for strong bakers, but there is positive proof that sales have been made at less. In the way of Ontario flour there has been a pretty good demand but the dealers say that it would be difficult to obtain the prices that some of the leading millers are quoting. Tlie prices range as follows :— Winter wheat patents Ç4.40 to $4.50 ; straight rollers, $4.25, and in bags, $2.10 to $2.15 ; best Manitoba strong bakers’ $5.00 ; second do., $4.50, and low grades, $2.05 ; Hungarian patents, $5.40.

Business is rather quiet at present and prices are steady at $3.40 for rolled and $1.1)5 in bags. Standard is quoted at $3.30 and $1.1)0.

Ontario bran is quoted at $11 per ton in bulk and Manitoba at $12.50 to $13.00. Shorts arc $13.50 to $14.

There is no change to speak of. The demand is fair at $11.50 to $12 for No 1 and $10 to $10.50 for No 2 i.n car lots on

poth cheese and butter have advanced. Tho former seems particularly firm and buyers have beep making things pretty lively in the country. Sa!c= baye been made at the leading boards during tlie last few days at 8Jc to 8,^c and finest Ontario here are quoted at 9c. Townships cheese is quoted at 8; and finest Quebecs at 8^c to 8Jc, 3,090 bo.xc.s selling on Alonday at the fonuer price. Ship- ments keep big and there is a firmer feeling on the other side prices advancing (id to 41s (id.

Butter has been sold at ).74c to 17»c and shippers have been fair buyers. The de? mand centrea principally on the finest qualities, there being very little enquiry for seconds, while dairy is neglected ex- cepting in a jobbing way. The range for dairy is 12c to 124o.

• Eggs have been in fair request with a good shipping demand apart from the usual jobbing trade. Selected near by stock is quoted at 10.4c to 11c, ordinary No 1 at 9c to 94c and No 2 at 8c to 8.4c. Ship- ments are moderately large.

Maple syrup is quoted at 4 jC to 5c per lb and sugar at 5c to Gc per lb. Honey is quoted at 10c for white clover comb and 7c for dark.

EIVK STUCK

The recent advance in cattle on the other side has been pretty well niaintained. Choice States cattle sold in London at 114c and Canadians at 11c. Canadian sheep in tho same market aro higher at 12c. In Liverpool there was an advance of jc per l.lj-

Tfie tone of the local market has been fairly st.ea.dy although supplies were pretty he4.vy. Choice caflle sold at -jc, good at 34c to 3:^, fair at‘2^c to conijiion at'2jc to 2^0 and inferior at I jc to 2c. Lambs were in good demand auU sold freely at $2.50 to $3.50 each.
