The popularity of young pork with plenty of lean meat on it has proved a. boon to'the farmers. for it is far more profitalile to raise the first 100 ,12')oun(.ls of any "animal than the last ]0O,pounds, says an American Culti- vator writer. This is partly due to the fact that `nature forces the growth of the young zminml. rapidly`, bones, muscles and esh all growing so that every ounce `of food is al- most entirely. converted into live weight. ` There is practically no loss, and all the animal requires is . fair attention and good food. Nature is then able and willing to do` the rest.

During the month .ot __Deoemb'er and the first eight days in January, forty- six cars of grade and pure-bred cattle were shipped from Eastern Canada to British Columbia. Thesecarscontained 2,223 head, and cost in the~East some- thing over $30.000.000. Besides these, a considerable number have recently been sent to the North-West Territ- ories, and orders are now in hand for additional shipments to be made to the last mentioned Territory. In Order to promote this trade, which has proved very protable in many districts in Eastern Canada, farmers should use first-class Shorthorn bulls. `By careful selection and wise treatment females sired by such bulls will prove excellent dairy cows. 1 It is a noticeable fact that seven- tenths of the stock need for. dairy pur- poses in Great Britain, are Shorthorns and Shorthorn grades. Probably the most suitable dairy cowfor the average farmer is `a Shorthorn-Ayrshire `cross. Steers whose dams are `strong grade Ayrshire cows if got by a Shorthorn bull prove excellent, feeders and very desirable shipping cattle. As dairy animals there are none, in the hands of the general farmer, that will excel the Shorthorn Ayrshire cross. Cancers are caused by poisonous humor: in the blood. The only nonsur ioal treat- ment known is Merrill s System onic. This is a. powerful blood purier and at the some time blood builder. It cures scrofulu, Exz- emu and Salt Rheum in thirty days and boils and pimples in a. week. 50 doses, price 50c. Sold by H. G. Robertson,` the Druggist. "Mr. Ross vindication of `the -prac _. tics of treating the proceeds of the sale of timber as income, instead of renewing them, or a part _of them, as capital, would seem hardly to hold water. The timber constitutes the whole value of the land,- and will not be renewed at all events for a long series of years. For a government ands joint stock com- pany the rules tor book keeping are the same ; and the directory of a joint stock company would hardly` be -held justified inaelling the company's estate and dealing with the proceeds as div: `dend. Mr. Ross says that the money has been laid out in purchases, but `un- less the purchases produced an equival- `ent amount of income, this is no more than saying that the money was spent. Year-afzeryear, for a number of years,we were told that we had a surplus, that is to say, an excess of revenue over ex~ penditurefor each current year; = Our affairs, therefore, appeared to be in a very ourishing condition." , Yet it turns out that all thetime the source of our revenue was being exhausted and we were drifting inevitably to decit and a succession tax.

The House Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries last week agreed to `favorably report the Senate bill amending the statutes relating to the inspection of foreign passenger steam- t era. The bill limits the privileges of foreign steamers in the matter of in- S apection to the privileges accorded the United States steamers by the ' foreign nations whose ag they y. ' It is a retaliatory measure designed principally "against Canada. The Dominion of Canada charges American steamers in- spection fees, and the United States does not charge the Canadian_steamers, with the nsult, it is charged that the Canadian steamers are able to practi- cally control the passenger and excurs- ion business between Canada and the `United States on the lakes, notably - Lake Champlain. Attempts to adjust the matter by diplomatic correspond- ence_ having" failed, it is now proposed to extend to the "Canadian steamers only such privileges as they accord American steamers.
