TRADE!

Tue returns of our banks, railways and great commercial corporations show that trade throughout Canada is again on the up-grade. This is not a result of the change of Government or policy; for al-

thongh the Government has been changed the policy remains practically the same— the Nationai Policy established eighteen

Rail- road earnings, too, make a better showing and the exports of agricultural produce, particularly in cattle and in butter and cheese, have considerably increased. It is reported that the harvest now being reaped in Ontario is the best on record, while that of the Northwest and the Maritime Pro- jinces is likely to be well up to, if not Our gold the Wert and

above the average. and coal mines inthe East and in Centre are being developed and established upon a paying basis. The United States are showing the cold shoulder to young fortune-seeking Canadians, who are not disposed to go where they are not welcome, 9nd they are likely to seek employment for their energies in their own country to a greater extent thas in the past. More- over, the prejudices of consumers in the Motber Country against the productiona of the United States and in favor of that of Canada, are being strengthened by the

hostile attitude. of the great republic.

NOTES AND COMMENTS

—Yes! “the epidemic of Liberalism” seeins to be passing away—notwithstand- ing the bot weather.

—The Patriot takes exception to the statement that the people have been led to expect from $1,000,008 to 85,000,000 as a result of arbitration over the claims of this Province upon Canada. Well, the people know what they were promised and led to expect, and the majority which snpported Mr. Peters will be greatly disap- p \inted if the expectations held out by Mr. peters aod Mr. Farquharson and their associates are not realized.

—The Berlin correspondent of the London Standard save that while cele- brating Christmas Eve in the German manner. the Cazarina was asked bv her husbani to express a wish. She whis- pered: “Please permit a little more re- ligious teleration.” The Czar answered emilingly: “Tbat will come by and by.” The Czar has not forgotten his promise, as it has been reported, but has issued ukase cancelling that of his father, Alex- ander II[., which ordered that every non- orthodox person in Russia who married an orthodox person should sign a doeument declaring that he would baptise aud edu- cate his children in the orthodox faith. The ukase of Emperor Nicholas permits ehildren of mixed marriazes to be educat- ed in the religion of their parents, sons in that of their fathers and danghters in that of their motbers.

—Information has been received from Captain Kewp, of the wrecked steamship Warwick, stating that the Britieh Board of Trade bas over-tuled the decision of Sir L. H. Davies, and confirmed the decision of Captain Smith, R. N. B., in the War- wick investigation case. Captain Smith exonerated Captain Kemp, for responsi- bility in the wreck of the ship in the Bay of Fundy in the first part of this year; but Sir L. H. Davies substitnted a verdict of censure, over-ruling the finding of the trial officer, in bis eapacity as Minister of Marive. The Briti-h Board of Trade bas now differed trom Mr. Davies’ decision. Speaking of the judgement the Montrea! Gazette says: “When it is the opinion of Sir Louis Davies against that of Captain Smith, backed by the British Board of Trade, there cannot be much doubt as to the side on which the weight of evidence lies.”

Mr Andree can tell the world, if he returns whether the reigon is an opea or frozen sea, or whether there is much or little land; he can alse photograph the places.

HYPOCRISY DENOUNCED.

Dairy and Creamery. Epeakiug of co-operative creameries or co-operative anything else, The Ru- ral World utters some pure gospel jo the following: ‘‘No one has any business to ask for anything beyond what ho is willing to give an equivalent for. Co- operation is a success only when each works for all and all work for each, and this idea lies at the bottom of all forms of associated effort.’’

To stop a cow from kicking while you milk her, take a rope with a loop in one end large enough to go over tha cow’s leg just above her hoof. Put the loop over her leg and draw the leg back enough to be out of your way while you milk. Then fasten the other end to a post behind the cow. She cannot kick though her life depend on it.

Dairymen and creamery men are apt to neglect the proper use of the ther- moweter. To the creamery man the ther- mometer is as useful and necessary as the square is to a carpenter.

Milk merely chilled without first be- ing aerated or without being aerated at the same time it is cooled makes abom- inable butter and cheese.

Have the milk aerated and cooled be- fore it is placed in the cans.

With young calves milk the cow at least once a day. When the calf is al- lowed to take all the mother’s milk, it frequently gets scours from overfeeding.

At the very least a milk cow ought to be dried off three weeks before conting in fresh, and a mouth is better still. In trying off a milk cow stop grain feed.

Cook a thick porridge of oatmeal, to which a teaspoonful of old process, sift- ed linseed meal is added. After the mess is cooked dilute it with water, add some skimmilk, and you will have a feed that is unequaled for pigs or calves.

Skimmilk is one of the best feeds in the world to promote egg production. Heat it till it curds, squeeze the curd dry and feed it to the hens. The same curds in which chopped onion tops have been mixed wili make a royal food for turkeys. Here is another way to dispose of skimmilk.

ate pressure and elevating the part if necessary to check the flow of blood. Do not apply any water. Bring the cut sur- face together as accurately as possible and retain them there witn as few and as narrow strips of the plaster as will suffice, cutting them of a good length. Then cover the wound with a dozen or so thicknesses of the iodoform gauze, which should extend an inch beyond the wound. Over the gauze apply a liberal layer of the absorbent cotton, allowing it to extend beyond the gauze. The cot- ton may be kept in place by a bandage of cheesecloth, or a part of a leg of a stocking may be drawn over it. Moder- ate pressure, if evenly distributed, is helpful. The pressure of a string is hurt- ful.
