Ottawa, May 13 .-—-Oneof the most useful of the various departmental volumes annually published by the Government is that containing the reports of the Experimental Farms which has just been brought down by the Minister of Agricul.ture It contains the .eports of Dr.Saunders, the Director, Dr.Fletcher, the eto-mologist and botanist, and horticulturist, the chemist and the poultry manager to gether with those of the superintendents of the branch fauns at Nappans, N S , Brandon, Man., ludian Head, N.W.T.and Aggas z, B C.In his introduction, Dr.Saunders touches upon the attention given to such important subjects as the maintaining of the fertility of the soil so as to provide for a succession of good crops without ex haustion, the de&erming of the best methods of preparing the land for different crops in the several climates of Canada the finding out the best time of sowing the seed, and the ascertaining, by repeated tests, which are the most profitable varieties of grain, fodder plants and roots to grow, taking into consideration productiveness, «juality and earliness of ripen ing.SPLENDID RESULTS IN THE TIME We are so accustomed to-day to hear of the work of the Experimental Farms that the younger generation of Canadians scarcly realize that it is only about twelve years since they came into existence, and the marvellous progress that has been made in the science of agriculture during the past decade is eloquent of the intrinsic value of their work.As the Superintendent aptly observes:—‘‘The occupation of farming has been elevated in the eyes of the community.It is no longer looked upon as a sort of drudgery suited to the dull and slow going, but is now regarded as a suitable field for tho higher intelligence of more cultivated minds.It is recognized as a calling requiring much skill to conduct it successfully and as giving ample scope for the exercise of the most earnest and active intellects." He adds in another place : — “The large and constantly increasing demands by the farmers of the Dominion for the publications issued from the Experimental Farm is a great evidence of the desire for information among this class of the community and the high esteem in which these records of the work of the farms are held." A feature of this yt ar’s volume is the report of the manager of the dairy, and the increasing favor with which bee-keeping is regarded gives special interest to the account of the practical experiments made, particularly in the wintering of tho bees.EMPIRE DAY.The celebration of tho Queen’s Birthday this year will be specially memorable in at least three provinces of the Dominion by the fact that for the first time, the day proceeding it will be recognized and observed as “Empire Day.” ‘ Empire Day" is to be particularly a school children’s demonstration.The idea of insti-tutirg it originated with Hon.G.W.Ross, Ontario’s Minister of Education, who proposes that the forenoon of the anniver sary be devoted to a talk by the teacher upon the British Empire, its extent and resources ; the relation of Canada to the Empire, the unify of the Empire and its advantages, the privileges which, as British subject, we enjoy, the extent of Can ada and its res mrces, readings from Canadian and British authors, interesting historical incidents in connection with our own country.The aim of the teacher in all his references to Canada and the Em pire Being to make Canadian patriotism intelligent, comprehensive and strong.In the afternoon it is suggested that a school entertainment be given, the programme consisting of patriotic songs, readings and recitations by the pupils, and speeches by trustees, clergymen and others.The idea has been enthusiastically taken up in Ontario, Quebec, and Nova Scotia, and there is good reason to believe that it will spread to the other Provinces ; indeed it is not unreasonable to anticipate that it will eventually find favor in other parts of the Empire.ABOUT TIME THEY DID SOMETHING.Incredible though it may appear, no notice what ever is taken of Her Majesty’s Birthday in the Old Country, beyond the tiring of official salutes, the ringing of a few church bells, the giving of one or two State dinners, and the flying of a few flags.There is no popular demonstration and no public holiday.Already attention has been called in the London Times to the Empire Day movement.Lord Heath having written a letter in which he remarked :—“This appears to me such an excellent idea, and one (especially if con nected with a half holiday) so well calculated to advance the cause of unity within the Empire, that I venture to ask her Majesty's Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he could not see his way to use his great influence unofficially, to push this movement throughout other portions of the Empire, so that ultimately the anniversary of her Majesty’s Birthday throughout the length and breadth of her dominions might be associated in the minds of her subjects (especially of the young)with that vast empire which has in so large a measure been the product of her long and glorious reign.It may be added that Mr Chamberlain has expressed his cordial approval of the scheme and when the energetic Secretary for the Colonies interests himself in any matter it generally leads to practical results.HON.JOHN COSTIGAN SECEDES.The news that Hon.John Costigan had severed his connection with the Conservative party as it exists to-day, will not occasion very much surprise to close observers of current events.In announcing his retirement he is reported to have said —“I do not think that the men who n »w pose as representatives of the old Conservative party to which 1 belonged, and still belong, are by any means the representatives of the Conservative instmet in Canada in politics.Indeed I may say that in my opinion they are the men who have wrecked the Conservative party.Their tactics and their principles are en- Children Cry tor CASTOR I A.- — 1 "-l-VS- tirely at variance with my own, and for that reason I voted against them.” There is little doubt that Mr.Costigan is representative of a not inconsiderable section of the old Conservative party, f ut he is the first to have the courage of his convie lions and come out in Jenuncia iou of his former colleagues whom he believes have not been true to their principles.D is unfortunate, though not unexpected, that the Opposition leader chooses to impute unworthy motives to his former colleague for the action he has taken, but it is somewhat absurd to pretend, as Sir Charles Tapper does, that the Liberal party has gone out of its way to secure the ex-minister’s support.A Govern-men‘ with a majority of nearly sixty at its back is not likely to be anxiously casting about for proselytes from the ranks of their opponents.NOTES, An interesting visitor to the Capital this week is Kang-Yu-Wei, a Chinese statesman of high standing iu the Celestial Kingdom, who has been compelled to flee from his native land because his advanced views on political reform were dis tasteful to the imperious old Empress who at the present time seems to be pretty well running things in the far East.Kang-Yu-Wei barely escaped with his life, but he is spending his days of exile in gathering information on the latest developments in western civilization, so that when he returns home he will be in a position to yet more energetically prosecute these measures of reform and pro-which he has at heart.The remarkable degree to which the American iron and steel industries are ousting their British competitors from the markets of the world, and even beating them hollow in their own territory is attracting considerable attention and creating not a little consternation in the Old Country.The trade conditions are being seriously discussed an every hand, but so far it has occurred to no one to blame the Government for it all.Sir Charles Tup-per should give Imperial statesmen a few pointers.DOMINION PARLIAMENT Obstruction Tactics of the Opposition.SIR CHARLES H IB BERT TIPPER SPEAKS FOR FIVE HOURS.Ottawa, May 17.—Sir Hibbert Tup-per made another five-hour speech in the House of Commons yesterday.His theme was a wholesale condemnation of the government for the delay in ctiling the Public Accounts Committee, and of the Minister of the Interior, for the latter’s action in connection with the inves ligation of the election frauds in Manitoba, in the election of I89f>.The debate took up the exclusive attention of the House till the hour of adjournment.From the tone which Opposition members are assuming, it is plain that obstruction will be the order of the day till the Redistribution bill is brought down.The Drummond County Railway resolution was the order of the day set down for yesterday, and will be taken up to-morrow the next government day, unless, as the Premier remarked, obstruction is again | resorted to.SIR HIBBFRT’S CHARGES.Upon the orders of the day Sir Charles Hibbert T upper moved the adjournment in order to lay before the House a complaint as to the delay in the summoning the Public Accounts Committee.The matter .s one which Sir Hibbert referred to once before this session, and now pro duced a second time chiefly by reason of the investigations in progress last session, and which were not then concluded.MANITOBA ELECTION FRAUDS.Sir Hibbert devoted the bulk of his speech to recounting tho case of the Monitoba election frauds investigation, and going over the evidence taken at the enquiry of last session Some time before Mr, Sifton entered the f deral ministry, as t! e story went.Mr.Sifton wrote tho Prime Minister that he had reason to belive that gross fraud had ber n committed in tho interests of the Conser vative party in Manitoba, in connection with the federal elections, and further asking that the Dominion Government should pay for the prosecutions, the local government not tieing financially able to do so.A sub-committee of Council gave the Prime Minister power to agree to this outlay.Mr.Sifton had Pinkerton detec live at work on the cise, and the result was one single conviction.Sir Hibbert Tapper’s argument was that the administration of criminal justice is a matter f r the provincial and not the federal government and that in any case the work shoul have been handled by the Minister of Justice and not the Minister of the Interior.Further than this, Sir Hibbert found fault with the way in which the appropriation had been put through Parliament for the paj ment of the obligation, it being voted as “unforseen expenses’ when Sir Hibbert alleged the government was aware of the expense.Why too, had the sub-committee of council not reported the whole matter to His Excellency?Sir Hibbert made very free use of the name of the Minister of the Interior in the matter, and expressed the opinion that a prima facie case had been made out against that gentleman.Moreover, Mr.Sifton had not yet furnished the information in detail which he had promised.When Mr.Sifton had stated in his letter to the Premier that there was abundant evidence of fraud it seemed strange to Sir Hibbert that $ff,000 should have to be spent on fishing expeditions/ Sir Hibbert from the evidence taken last session were satisfied that there had been gross illegality and irregularity in the pro ceedtngs a nd misappropriation of funds without the most ordinary checking.Before resuming his seat, he intimated that the government must not expect to have their own supplies voted until an investigation has been allowed in this and other matters.The government had had its own witnesses before the committee in this matter of the election frauds, and the Opposition now desire to have a say.MR.Me MULLEN’S REPLY.Mr.McMullen (North Wellington) who acted as chairman of the Public Accounts Committee of last session, replied briefly.He considered it plain that Sir Hibbert Tupper had been but talking against time.Moreover, the charge made by him that the delay this session in calling the Public Accounts Committee was of an unprecedented nature, was a plain misstatement of facts.In 1893, for instance, when the late government was in office and Sir Hibbert Tupper a member thereof, the Public Accounts Committee was not called for seven weeks after the opening of the session.In returning to the charge against the Minister of the Interior, Sir Hibbert would find that the effect would be but to heap further discredit on the Conservative party and would show up the | tricks resorted to by that party, its means of retaining office prior to 1898 Mr.McMullen referred to the Cisa of Frteborn who acted as the informer in the Mauitiiba fraud* Tnis man who is now decoonced by the Conservative party, is the same of whom R >o-rt Birmingham wired to Nat.Boyd, ‘He was a first cla-1» man in North Bruce Sir Hibbert Tupper intimated that Mr.Birmingham had denied ever having sentfuch a message.Mr.Richardson (Lisgtr)—I have the original copy.Mr.McMullen in conclusion, stated that in tho course which Sir Hibbard had been pursuing in this and other matter* he is following a line of conduct which would neither raise him nor his party in the public estimation.He advised the member for Pictou to confine his speech es to more moderate length and gave the house the benefit of a little quatram, which ran : Of Tupper young, and Tupper old, < »f belted knights of Tupper fold ; Of Tupper schemes, and Tupper blurt’.Lord only knows, wo’ve had enough.MR.FOSTER.Mr.Foster taunted the government with having put up the member for North Wellington ( Mr.McMullen) to reply to the arraignment of Sir Hibbert Tupper.The ex-hmance Minister went over some what the same ground traversed by his colleagues and repeated the charges of bad faith.SIR LOUIS DA OES.Sir Louis Davies was the next speaker.He submitted that Sir Hibbert, while looking for new light on the subject had spent the whole afternoon and evening in denunciation based upon partial evidence Sir L'.uis intimated that Sir Oliver Mowat as late Minister of Justice, had been consulted and given his concurrence in every step of the investigation.IN OLVENCY LEGISLATION.B fore the House rose Mr.C’arke ( W«-st Toronto) asked the Prime Minister whether it was the intention to proceed with the matter of insolvency legislation this session.Sir Wilfrid replied that if the new laws of Nova Scotia, New Bruns wick and other provincial enactments meet the case the government will net give its favor to the passage of such an act this year.Burglars again at Work.E.G.WIGGETT’S SHOE STORE ENTERED.The shoe store of E.G.Wiigett was entered last night or early this morning by some person or persons, and as a result of this visit Mr.Wiggett isjout over seven dollars.An entrance was effected by t he rear window, and after admission had been gained the intruders had evidently gone directly to the till, for no.hing else in the store was disturbed.The burglars evidently are new at the game for some reason or other they left a two dollar bill after removing a five dollar bill and the silver which was in the till.The statement that T.T.Blais store was entered is not correct.for Home, Eveninj; or Athletic Use The only corset which is designed to meet the varied needs of so diverse occupation is the C rest Corset In constructing this corset, we

selection of a Piano or an Organ.My reply depends in a great measure upon the purpose for which the instrument will be used mainly, and the condition of the home circle.In the home where the children are not sufficiently advanced in years to receive instructions in music, and the only chance the parents themselves get to play comes on a Sunday afternoon, when sacred music seems to be the most appropriate, an Organ is the most fitting instrument.When the children reach the stage where they want to acquire a knowledge of music the Piano is the best, instrument for the purpose Organs of good reliable makes 5, 6 and 7^ octaves, from $45 up.Any time you wish to procure a Piano the Organ can be given in part payment ; I will allow all that the instrument is worth, too.We simply wish to reduce our stock.This is a rare opportunity, to stock up.G EN TUE M KN S F U R MSH INGS.New Music Parlors in d’ Banque Hochelaga Block, 141 Wellington Street, SHERBROOKE.Q.A Great Success So Far.Those

some considerable time before it broke out finally.Y.M.C.A.NOTES.The Bicycle Club had its first club ride of the season, last evening, and although the attendance was small owing to the unfavourable

CREAMOMETER JudKlMK Milk by (hr Amount et;ei than none It is the judgment of milk by the amount of cream it will sbov* This is not an accurate test, because it may fail to show cream w hen it should or it may show more than it ought How ever it wrill not show cream if there ih none in the milk With two samples of milk having the same amount of fat different results may appear with this test, as the proportion of the fat globules which rise depends somewhat on the age the milk and the way it was handled before delivery If fat globules have much difti cnlty in rising only a small part of them will get j to the top and they may carry up with them so much of the oth er constituents that there will be a large bulk of poor cream When the test is carefully con ducted and con dirions are favor able to the rise of cream, fair re suits can usually be obtained This test requires a long graduated glass tube, which is filled with milk to the zero uiark and allowed to stand in a cool place for 20 to 24 cuF.aMo.MKTK.it hours The cream s aided in rising by warming the milk to 100 degrees F and then setting it in the tube, id cold water or the tube may be filled half full of milk and the k inainder with warm water which raises the temperature aud reduces the viscosity in which case only half as much cream will appear as the milk is to be given credit for For example, if the contents of a glass are half water and show 10 per cent cream upon the scale, this means, of course.20 per cent of the milk If the milk is the same each day and is tested in the same way there should be little difference in the cream shown Tubes graduated special ly for this test are sold by dairy supply firms The cream test furnishes a good opportunity to look for sediment If the milk is not clean dirt can fie seen in the bottom of the cylinder Careshould be taken to carry the tube quietly, so that neither the cream nor the sediment will be disturbed 20 JO 11^ SO - 60 — 70 It is alleged that a London

IMsr».Separator milk has a very high feed ing value for pigs These are usually fed entirely too much corn and require a food with much less fat and heat in it and nothing meets this want so well as skimmilk It is of little value to calves when fed alone, but if proper ly balanced with corn and fed warm and sweet it is almost equivalent to whole milk The feeding value there fore of skimmilk

I'laiil» and llielllahl lleplh For Nettinit T'Ii**iii.All strawberry growei* ar© a war© that it is only th© plants form©*! by the runners that should be used forth© new plantation.These have yellowish white roots, and can thus be distinguished from the older plants, which have a long stem, at th© lower end of which are black or brown root» (Fig.1).many OLD PLANT.STRONG YOUNG PLANT, of which are dead or broken.If plants of good quality, which can be depended upon to give large corps, are desired, those selected for planting should have good crowns and well developed roots (Fig.2).As a rule only the first plants on the runners «bonId be used.Dealers in strawberry plants, when picking up the plants after they have been dug, generally remove the dead or diseased leaves and runners, and at tie* same time straighten ont the roots and the remaining leaves.Sometimes the setting of the founts is necessarily de layed until late in the season, when, if the air happens to be dry, there will be great dangerof the wilting and perhaps the killing of the plants from the heat and dryness of the soil and air.Under these conditions it will be advisable to ent off the leaves except one or two of the smaller ones, as by thus reducing their surface the evaporation will be lessened.When plants have been pur chased and have become dry cr heated in the bundles, it will be advisable to untie the bundles and either place them in water up to the crowns in some cool, shady place, or to heel them in, so that the soil w ill be in contact with roots of each plant in moist soil, where they can be shaded and occasionally sprinkled.In a few days the plants that have net been killed w’ill recover.When the plants are being set, equal care should be taken that the roots are not exposed.Should the soil be dry, a pint or so of water should be given each plant before the planting has been completed, this will permit of the drawing of dry soil about it after the water has soaked in.and the baking of the soil about the plant will be prevented.In setting the plants a spade, dibble or trowel may be used.When the dibble or spade is used, a cut is made in the ground to the depth of six or eight inches, and the soil is pressed back in either direction by a side movement of the handle.In the opening thus formed the roots are placed, care being taken that they are not cramped and that they are so spread out that the soil can be brought in contact w ith each of them.When large plants, with a thick mat of roots are used, this is particularly necessary, as otherwise the soil would only be in contact with a layei of roots upon the outside of this bundle.There is also considerable danger of loss if attention is not given to the depth at which the plants are set, they should be at such a depth that the bud will be just above the surface as at O in the second cut, for if deeper than this there will be danger that, especially on heavy soil, the hud cannot make its w*ay through the soil, while if not deep enough a part of the roots w’ill be ex posed and the plant will be very likely to dry out.If placed perhaps a quarter or half inch deeper than it grows in the field, this will be sufficient to allow for the setting of the plant and will leave it in about the right position.In planting with the trowel the same method may be used as with the dibble or spade, but with a few plants many think it will pay to take somewhat more pains w’ith the planting.A large hole is dug, and in the bottom of this a conical elevation is left, around and upon which the roots are spread.After placing the plants at the right depth the soil is pressed against them with the dibble or hands, so that it will be in close contact w ith the roots.If 6T j ^ Lr sa’e tvary Wrinkle».Even very young women are seen with strongly marked wrinkles in the forehead which they have acquired through contracting the brows.A friend tells me that these wrinkles will disappear under the following

soil is sandy a foot may be placed at either side of the plant.The continued and repeated pressure with the feet about the plaint, as practiced by some, is not advisable, according to Professors Taft and Gladden, who treat of straw-berrycnltnre in a recent bulletin of the Michigan station, from which the fore going extract is made.To Prevent N%vnrmlnic, R.C.Aikin says there are two ways (“Hive the

tree of Ceylon is very remarkable.Its fruit is baked and eaten as we eat bread and is equally good and nutritious.In Barbutn, South America, is a tree which, by piercing the trunk, produces milk, with which the inhabitants feed their children.In the interior of Africa is a tree which produces excellent butter.It resembles the American oak.and its fruit, from which the butter is prepared, is not unlike the olive.Park, the great traveler, declared that the butter surpassed any made in England from cow’s milk.At Sierra Leone is the cream fruit tree, the fruit of which is quite agreeable in taste.At Table Bay, near the Cape of Good Hope, is a small tree the berries of which make excellent candles.It is also found in the Azores.The vegetable tallow tree also grows in Sumatra, in Algeria and in China.In the island of Chusan large quantities of oil and tallow are extracted from its fruit, which is gathered in November or December when the tree has lost all its leaves.The bark of a tree in China produces a beautiful soap Trees of the sapindus or soap berry order also grow in the north of Africa.They are amazingly prolific, and their fruit contains about 38 per cent of saponin.—Ladies

and Scott, without authority and although only engaged as a draftsman, took entire charge and directed things for two weeks until Donahue’s return.He introduced system into the methods and made affairs run along eo smoothly that Donahue was pleased and made him permanent foreman.About this time Donahue offered to increase his wages, but Scott thought over the matter and declined.“If I break my year’s contract with you,” he said to Donahue, “Fll have to take what you give me.I prefer to keep my contract, and when it’s np you 11 have to pay me what I’m worth.” Donahue looked aghast.“You’re
