with May, they would expect the winter price of $1.30 per 8 gallon can to be continued.The dealers replied they would pay no such price for summer milk, but offered $1.22%, which was an advance on last summer's rate of 2% cents., The farmers would not accept that | price and refused to supply milk.To the people of Toronto matters looked serious for a few days when an arrangement was come to that the farmers should submit their case to two arbitrators and go on supplying milk to be paid for at+thg price the arbitrators might decide on.The arbitrators were above suspicion, one being Judge Winchester the other Mr James, the widely known deputy minister of agricul ture for Ontario, and they decided the two partics should present their case personally and without lawyers.The farmers submitted a statement to show what it costs to produce milk.As this statement bears ona question which theGleaner has often referred to, What is the farmer's income?we copy it.It will be observed the price per 8 gallon can of able to raise calves or hogs as a side line.After hearing both sides the arbitrators decided that $1.23 per 8 gallon ean was a fair price, which is barely half a cent per gallon more than our shippers are getting.In tho Doukhobors Canada has encountered the consequences of ita policy of welcoming all sorts of foreigners and bestowing land upon them.The Methodist missionary, Dr McDougall, from his Intimacy with them was sent by the government to see If they could not be induced to comply with the regulations on which they had received 160 acres per head of family.Al:tho they have held the land eight years there is not over five \u2018acres per heed - in cultivation, and they have ignored all conditions as to living upon each lot, what le cleared) being in one piece, where they live as a community.McDougall explained each family must live on the lot it had drawn, build a house, and cultivate the land, or the lot would be confiscated and gl ea to settl.rs who would comply with the homestead regulations.Out of 9000 only 270 would even acknowledge the that it has gone so low in price that the owners of vineyards cannot make 8 living.Owners and workers unite in demand ing legislation to stop the man- ufacture- of artificial wine and until this is done they.will pay no taxes.The law they ask le paralleled by our Canadian statute forbidding the sale of oleomargarine as butter.To the wine-drinker, who believes he is gaining strength by quaffing the Juice of the grape, it must be annoying to learn his beverage was made by a chemist.The longshoremen strike was ended on Monday, by the accepting of the terms offered by the companies.From the first ing installed new machinery more than the usual guantity of brick will be made should the
