CO-OPERATION IN

AGRICULTORE,

_

Co operation seems lo be ore of \ watchword Of (be 0 petventh Ceutury ls led e% » avery | priveciple is being app! od to nearly eV*’- business calling. In the large cities the

big departmental stores are mere:y @ kind of huge co-operation In which ore busi- ness concern by buying directly from the | producer and seiling to the consumer seeks io do away with the middleman’s profits. Some of our westero exchanges are advocating @*im:lar line of procedure for the farmer. If, instead of having #0 many middlemen taking the profits of the farmer's pro- ‘duct while in transit to the consumer, some co-operative scheme were evolved where- by the consumer could be reached more directiy, more profit could accrue tw the former.

We hardly know whether such a echeme would be the“ Eldorado” some people think it or not, True it is, that at present the farmer's product before it reaches the consumer has to pass through many channel, and while en route, a large pamber of people come in for a share of the t trom tke farmer’s toil. If all the persons who figure in the concern were legitimate middlemen and only sought for an bonest living, no remedy for the present unsati-faciory condition of things would be needed. But when men try to manipalate the product, as in the case of whea!, 80 a* to make a fortune for themselves, it is perbaps time that the farmers co-operated in some way 80 as to reach the cousumer in a more direct way. There is no doubt that if some co-operative scheme were evo!ved by which the profits of farm labor could be divided directly between the farmer and the consumer, we would have cheaper bread and the farmer a better living — Farming.

ECHOES FROM MUUNT ALBION,

K'ondyke is raising quite a lot of en- thusiasm in this part of the country.

Quite a sneces+ful examination has recently been held in this school. A number of parents assembled, who ex- amined the pupils in different branches, (including botany) and their answers, which weae quick and accurate, shows that Mr. McRachern is doing ample justice to those who are under bis tuition,

We regret to relate that Mrs. J. Wood, who for some time has been prostrated with a serious attack of iilnese, has not vet fully recovered. But we hope that by Divine help she may again he restored to bealth and strength.

We rmust not forget to mention that Mr. Wm. McKachero, school teacher, who has of late started a store here is, we believe, doing a fine business, and, judging by ap- pearances, he is soon (0 bave a partner joio Lim fn future.

Orrawa, Jen. 10.—Hon. Mr. Pater- son, tired of being pestered with customs officials seeking preferment or salary increase, has issued a warning to his officers ot the inside and outside service, tbat the treasury minutes of 1879, referring to this matter, are still in existence, and that officers contravening it are jeopardizing their chance? of promotion,

While the Ainerican bleycle rider car- ries his little pump either in his pocket or in the too! bag, the average European has a much larger one attached to the tubing of his frame, usually to the upger bar. The latter class cares Jess for appearances. But when it comes to an emergency punp up, the European has by far the easier time of it. There is room for improvement in the small pumps used in this country. Invent ors seem to have neglected this branch of the industry.

ENGLAND WANTED WAR.

Held Back From Fighting France In 1595 by the German Emperor.

The Gaulois, in Paris, recently re- lated in considerable detail that during the Siamese imbroglio of 1893 England declaring war

the verge of

| against France. The power that opposed

the war most vigorously was Germany. In fact, said the Gaulois, the war was prevented by the German emperor.

‘*At that time,’’ said the Gaulois, “Emperor William was at Cowes with his yacht. He had won a regatta prize from Lord Dunraven’s Valkyrie and the Prince of Wales’ Britannia. He appear- ed, literally as well as figuratively, to swim in English waters. It was as he sat at dinner in the house of the Royal Yacht squadron that he received from Count Hatzfeldt the news that the Eng- lish government intended to declare war against France. Tbe emperor rose from the table, laid aside his napkin and sert a dispatch empowering his embassador in London to protest against Lord Rose- bery’s programme. Moreover, he be- took himself at once to Osborne House to announce to his grandmother that he never could approve such a course as re- gards Siam.”’

Sometimes Paris newspapers publish articles on European politics that lack all foundation in fact, and the amazing story told by the Gaulois might have been dismissed as cue of them had it not been confirmed at once by the Koel- nische Zeitung, probably the most trust- worthy journal on the European conti- nent. The Koelniscke Zeitung's Paris correspondent was at Cowes with the emperor in 1893. As soon as the Gau- lois had made its sta ment he corrobo- rated it. Among the i. Iuential English- men at Cowes, he said, it was then common talk that the German emperor was England's ally against Siam and France. Lord Dufferin, then English embassador in Paris, had come to Cowes to conclude the negotiations for an alli- ance, but had been met with the emper- or’s blunt refusal to take the active part that England wished toassign him. The Koelnische Zeitung’s correspondent as- serts that the correctness of this state- ment is absolute and beyond question among th> initiated who were at Cowes during the German emperor’s sojourn there.

Not Tall Enough.

Just at the time when vague reports were beginning to creep abroad that Germany was meditating fresh exten- sion of her frontier at the expense of Holland a Dutch official of high rank happened to be visiting the court of Berlin, and among other spectacles got up to amuse him a review was organized at Potsdam.

‘*What does your excellency think of our soldiers?’’ asked Prince Bismarck as one of the regiments came marching past in admirable order.

‘‘They look as if they knew how to fight,’’ replied the visitor gravely, ‘‘but they are not quite tali enongh.”’

The prince looked rather surpris but made no answer, -nd several oth regiments filed past in succession, b the Dutchman’s verdict upon each w still the same, ‘‘Not te!l enough.”’

At length the grenadiers of the guard made their appearance—a magnificent body of veterans, big and stalwart enough to have satisfied even the giant loving father of Frederick the Great, but the inexorable critic merely said, ‘*Fine soldiers, but not tall enough.’’

Then Prince Eismarck rejoined: **These grenadiers are the finest men in our whole army. May I ask what your excellency is pleased to mean by saying that they are not tall enough?”’

The Dutchman looked him fall in the face and replied, with significant em- phasis, ‘‘I mean that we can flood our country 12 feet deep.’’—London Tit- bits.

Converted,

Small Boy—What’ll I do with this money box?

Mamma—Pnut it away, of course. It has a shilling in it that your aunt gave you and some change your paand | put in.

‘*‘Not now. There isn’t any money ip tt now. I spent it.’’

‘*Spent it? What did you do that for?’’

“‘Why, the clergyman preached so hard against hoarding up riches that i got converted and spent what I had.’’

Famity’s Crvet Fate.—About twenty years ego Archibeld Kennedy, a well-to-do farmer, of Glenville, Inyerness County, left hig native home, taking with him his family and started for the Western States. Times were gocd then, and intelligent, energetic men could do well in that coua- trv. Butacruel fate seemed to follow the Kennedy fami'y. They moved from one place to aovother, ard death was busy amongthem. Accidents and misfortunes followed each other quickly. The father, four sons and two danghters have died. Now, another danghter, who was burned to death in a most horrib!e manner is added to the dead, and the brokemhearted mother is on the verge of the grave op- pressed with the weight of her sorrows.

Although a very buev man, Dr. R. V Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., tas found time in which to write a great book of overa thousand pages, entiled The Peopl’s Common Sense Medical Adviser, in Plain

English, or Medicine Simolified Few books printed inthe Eoglish language

have reached so greatasale as has this popular work, over 680,000 copies having been 60.4 at $1.50 each. The profits on this enormous sale having repaid its author for the great amount of labor and money expended on its production, he has now decided to give away, absolutelo free, 560,000 copies of this valuable book, the recipient only being required to mail to the World’s Dispensary Medical Associa- tion, of Buffalo, N. Y , of vhich company he is president, @! one cent stamps, to cover cost of mailing only, and the book will be sent postpaid. It is a veritable medical library, complete in one volame. It contains 1008 large pages, and over 300 illustrations, some of them in colors. The Free Edition is precisely the same es that cold at $1.50, except only tbat the books are bound in strong manilia paper covers, instead of cloth. It is not often that our readers have an opportunity tc obtain a valuable book on such gtnerous terms, and we predict that few will miss availing ‘themselves of the unusual and liberal offer to which we have cailed their at~ tention.

He Reported. {In McClure's Magazine is tolda story cf ap aid whom Colonel Dan Macauley sent out before a battle in the Shenandoah val- ley to ascertain the force of the enemy. This was the last Colonel Macauley saw of ®e officer. One day while Macauley was holding court in Indianapolis as mayor a one legged man came in and said, ‘‘Colo- nel, I have to report that I found the en- eimy in force.’’ He was the captain who had been sent out to reconnoiter several years before. He had been wounded, cap- tured and had a leg amputated and was sent to his home in Massachusetts when exchanged. Passing through Indianapolis it occurred to him that he should report to his superior officer.

Muzzles are used on refractory women in the penitentiary at Cologne. Last year a muzzled girl was found dead in her cell. It was alleged that her death was due to suffocation, and the persons in authority were charged with manslaughter, but aft- erward acquitted.

In the test at the Toronto exposition the cow that gave the most milk, the most butter fat anc the largest quanti- ty of other milk solids in two days was the Holstein Carmen Sylva, with 133.25 pounds of milk, 3.849 pounds butter fat and 15.380 pounds other solids. She is owned in Ontario. The cow, however, that gave most butter fat in proportion to quantity of milk was a Jersey, Lady of Glen Rush, with 3.297 pounds butter fat from 70 pounds milk in two cays.
