The firut of the Johnsons worthy of attention is David, who was born of humble parents in Falkland in 1731. = At the age of twenty he was employed as a postal messenger on small wages. To tke out a living he engaged in smug- gling--at that time led in Fife as a dangerous but not disgraceful occu- pation. The coast from Elie floss to Ki inghotn A dotted with idden coves and hallow 5, which fur nished convenient landing places for the '"'free traders," ns smugglers were called in Fife. David Jobmeon was particulary for- soon to carry the post. As time passed he grew rich from the sale of contraband goods. One ug fortunate night he encountered the English officers, and in the fight w. followed struck one of them on the head with a club. Believing that he had killed his man he fled, taking with him a considerable sum of the East the idea that Hindostan t become a rival to i country. in that direction, and in a few years returned to Scotland a wealthy man.

Then he fell into a drunken sleep. He awakened some hours later, and, secing the distorted features of the father, belioved shat he had mur: him. He fled to Paris, where he lived until his father died. At the age of forty-five, in the year n came into an jdetermine its agt Messrs.

Her foreign increases month by month and year by year; the population of Nebraska, the Dakotas, other western states ap- parent to all; the processes whereby have been attained are under stood by few in this country.. That Canada possesses illimitable natural resources and is both the Scotland aad the Normandy of North America oes not explain the amazing idit, of her development. In Re hor space of ten years she has grown in to a commercial great power. In par ticular the growth of agricultural 1? always a sure foundation for national greatness--is without parallel in the world's industrial history. In 1806 the aggregate value of her ex- potte of food stuffs was $35,773,133 ; ast year it was $63008811. More over, the average Canadian's standard of living has been considerably raised in the interval, and since the growth in industrial and mining population has heen much greater than in rural districts the difference between these two sums does not adequately repre sent the increase in the annual value of hér farm products. How has this remarkable advance heen brought about ? The plain truth is that. Can- ada has always beem governed by business men, and that every member of the present cabinet (or board of directors for the nation), has the necessary talent and training for su- pervising the business of hia depart- ment. Not the least able of these able men is the minister of agticul- ture, who has charge of Canada's agricultural policy--no new thing, though it has been revised and ex. tended of late years. And much of the success of that policy is due to Prof. Robertson, Canada's indefatig- able 'agricultural traveller.' The Canadian Gazette, 'also a Lon don paper, and which devotes itself to Canadian men and matters, in a lead- er states, "the" Canadian department of agriculture is still giving points to the mother country." Here, for in stance, is the St. James' Gazette tak ing the last annual report of the min- ister of agriculture as affording a con- trast between the useful motivity of the colonial government and the su- pineness of our:own--(the British)--in these matters. As an oxcellent ex- ample of the way in which the Can- adian government assists the trader, the St, James' Gazette takes a recent article sent out by this department in reference to Canadian cheese, and how to prepare it for the British markets. The Canadian Gazette adds that "if British agriouiture had a few such enlightened officials as Prof. Robert son 'established at headquarters with, say, one-tenth of the present depart ment of agriculture vote at their die posal, the British farmer would soon hold up his head." i The Cork Examiner (Ireland) paye "There are many ways of accounting for the Uiffereut. Foyutta attained by the prosperous farmers of the colonies and the embarrassed, unscientific agri- culturiste at home. For one thing there appears to be' more thorough co- operation between the farmers and the department of agriculture, the latter being more than ready to afford ad- viee and instruction, and the former to avail themselves of such assistance on every occasion. The results should be of some value to our department os well as of interest to all concerned in agrieultural pursuits. The annual re- port of the Hon.
