The minister of agriculture nas replied that he has in- timated to the Ontario fruit growers’ asso~ ciation that the prohibition of the impors tation of foreign fruits is practicully im- possible.

Orrawa, Feb. 9.—Mr. @humberlain’s recent speech at Liverp»ol has put heart into the advocates of preferential trade, who, notwithstanding Liurier’s defection from the cause when in England, do not despair of heing able to accomplish seme- thing tang'ble with the mother country ia the not very distant future. Mr. McNeill, member for North Bruce, will atan early date introduce a resolution in respense vo and in recognitiou of Mr. Chamberlain’s recentovertures, The resolution reads: “TLat a customs arrangement between the United Kingdom and her colonies is advis- able, by which trade within the Empire may be placed on @ more favorable footing than it is carried on with foreign coun» tries,”

The Sonthern countries of the western part of Ontario seem to be admirably adap'ed for tobacco growing. The Toren- to World reports that a number of labora ing men of Leamington are renting land from farmers in the vicinity of the town to grow tobacco. An acre of good ground will yield from 1,200 to 2,009 pounds of tobacco leaf, which seils at from 8 to 14 cents per pound, according to equality. This means on the average $150 to $170 per acre tothe grower, which is vastly better than $30 an acre for grain. The tobacco is principally shipped to Quebec, where itis used inthe manufacture of cigars, During two weeks recently Louis Wigie shipped trom the country of Essex alone 600,000 pounds, and there still re- mains in the country about 200,000 pounds.

There is a pretty good story (under pre- sent conditions) gving the rounds. I: seeins that an official of the G. T. R. was affected with some tort of trouble in the head. He consulted an eminent physisian in Montreal, and the physician, after an examination, decided that an operation would have to be performed. The G.T. R. man decided that he would sab. mit to the operation, and the specialist removed a vortien of his brain and told him to take good care of himself, return ii three days and he would have the brains cleaned and putthem back. The patient did not return at the appointed time and the doctor was much di tured. He chanced te meet his patient on the Street shortly afterwards,and of cou-se gave him fits for not coming back att ¢@ appointed time to gethis brains. The patient laughed and said,“ Never mind ser it?s all right;I have just been ap- pointed to a pssition on the I. C, R. won't need the brains,” "ee 4
