ONTARIO LMSLATURE, What the People's Representative Are Doing: at Toronto. an DRAINAGE DISPUTEa Htm. Mr. Gibeon introduced mendment to the Municipal Act. Tbe detail* of the measure have not yet been completed, but the general pur- pose of the measure U to prevent the recurrence of uch cases ua that of Sutherland and Innea T. the Township of RomUljr, which bai been for some time before the court*, at great ex- pease to all concerned. The effect of It will be to make the decisions of the drainage referee* practically final, and to abolish altogether appeals to the Supreme Court. BEET ROOT SUGAR BOUNTY. lion. John Drjden, in moving the econd reading of his Beet Root Su- gar Bounty bill, gave some interest- ing information as to tbe beet root ugar industry. Last year testa were made at three poinU in hue prov- inceat Welland. .Newmarket and Aylmcr. The highest tonnage was 8j tona per acre, in one of the Ayluier districts. The second highest was 25 1-2 tona, at Newmarket, and the third highest 24 tons at Welland. The aver- Mfe waa 16 tons per acre. ThU was ery aatisfactory. The highest per- centage of eugar or saccharine mat- ter in the beet rooU was 17.^, found t H i Hand ; the aext higheat, 10.8 at Newmarket ; tbe third highest, 16.1 in Ayluier. The average percentage *ra 14 1-2 |>er cent., which wai also ery satisfactory. In the matter of purity, the highest percentage was 89 1-A in one of the Aylmer districts. _t was nearly similar in Welland and to $36,111,806, but since thon there bad f been a change for the belter, the val- ue in 1890 being f 42.713,537. IB 1893 10,- WXj liorM-i were exported from Canada to the United States, and in 1<M) 1,526. The falling off wosduetothe displace- ment of horses by electrical power in street railway*, the increase in the American tariff, and the fact that large American cities were being tup- pllcd by horses bred in that country. The attention of Canadian breeders and dealers, In consequence of this, had been turned to the British market. In 1P93. 1,'Jtti Canadian burse* were exported to Great Britain, and in 1896 the highest point was reached 17,182. The speaker referred to the large purchases of Canadian horses by Ma- jor Dent, ot the British War Office, and to tbe excellent record of these horses in the South African war. Ma- jor Dent was o satisfied that he re- commended the establishment of a re- mount depot in Canada as a perman- ent recruiting point. It would be MAEKETS OF THE WORLD Prices of Cattle. Cheese.

The average coat per acre in the ntario experiments was |28JT7, leav- ing the grower a net profit of $43 per are. There wax still no market for sugar beets in this country, ind one reason for this was that Urge capits.1 was required for the ui.inu- facture of the beets into eugar. It would require 1500,000 or C60U.OOO to irect a plant, which could be truc- ce*-fully operated. It should be cap- >f producmg 500 or 6XJO ton-i per . A factory-owner wished to be r<l of a full supply of sugar beets before he erected bis factory. Con- trable expert labour was required these establishments, includina lemists and other scientists. One of u-oul-l couuitie 'twomil- of waler i cr da y. l ton, of coal per year, and 'Vrf thoauad tons of lime per yc:ir BOOM four, five, or air thousand acres neeta would also br> necessary to keep the factory running.

Smith, of this place, reports two eases of Kidney Disease cured by Dodd's Kidney Pills, which are very striking testimonials to the merit of this great medicine. The subjects are Mr. Caleb Rivard and Mr. Joseph Hamel. Mr. Rivard suffered from incontin- ence of ihe urine day and night. He was so worrid by the discharge of urine at night, that he purchased from Dr. Smith a rubber instrument to protect bid bed. Or. Smith advised Kidney Tills. He bought some and sooa reported to the doctor that he .was quite cured. The trouble had en- tirely disappeared. Mr. 11 iLud writes of fata case : " I suffered with Kidney Disease for three or four years so bad that I would have to lay off work two or three days every week. I was con- tinually sick, and "is 'forced to u ilk like an old man, being all bent with the pain. I had lust all my energy. I heard of Dodd's Kidney Pills. Af- ter I had taken a few doses, I was delighted to find myself improving. Ihu.1 encouraged, I continued, and after the third box my trouble had entirely disappeared. I could stand and walk upright without any pain or stiffness whatever. This is over six months ago, and I have not had the slightest return of the trouble or piin." These cures have rained quite a sensation in this neighborhood, as both gentlemen are well known. Dodd's Kidney Pills, are very popu- lar in Nicolet. In 1801 there were, oo railway.s in .Scotland in the sense we now use the term, or even in England. To-day the, railways of the United Kingdom ex- tend to about 22,000 miles of line, which have been constructed at a cost of about 1,31)0,000,000. The annual gross Pts now exceed 100,000,000, and | of the expenditure, which amounts to over 00,000,000, fully one-half M .1.- tributcd in wages to over 500,000 eui-j ployes.
