and the Directors of this Bank have felt that they would be upheld by the Share- | holders in subscribing thereto as they the Officers of the Staff have, during the past year, ns in all previous years, * performed their duties to the satisfaction of the Board.The Directors cannot close this Report without alluding to the lamentable decease of their former colleague and great friend, Thomas J.Tuck, Esq.He was always willing and ready to devote time and attention to the affairs of this Bank, and his long experience in this his native district have done.and country, made his advice always

on.the 3rd of July next, In addition | thereto a bonus of 1 per cent.on the | Capital Stock, will also be payable on the 3rd of July.The sum of £50,000.00, will also be added to the Reserve Fund, leaving $26,406.14 standing at, the credit of Profit and Loss, to be carried forward.This will bring up the Feserve Fund to £800,000.00 which represent (0 per cent, of the Capital.j The Directors feel that this statement will prove acceptable to the \u2018Shareholders, for such is the best | proof of an active business.Good hopes are entertained that the prosperous times will continue, though the outlook is not in all re- | spects quite so bright as the Directors; would like to see it, Al] parts of the Specie.1000ceceare see aea nee ee este teste world are now drawn so closely to- | gether that it is not easy to guage the: future, and however prospereus commercial institutions may be, there must be continued caution and care exercised in administration without which prosperity cannot be secured.The Directors have had many applications for the opening of Branches, | and all, as a matter of course, have entertained no doubt, that prosperity may be depended upon in each case.The Branch opened at Grand Forks, in the mineral regions of British Columbia, alluded to last year, has s0 far proved successful.It was specially visited last summer by Director, H.B.Brown, Q.C., accompanied by the General Manager, who found that a good start had been made, with a: fair promise of success, if carefully managed.The proposed opening in Montreal has of necessity been delayed, rot, however, because of any change of mind on the part of the Board, but in consequence of the difficulty of securing suitable premises, at a reasonable rental, in a central position of the city.The efforts to meet this legitimate demand will not be slackened, and the Directors entertain hopes that the problem will be solved in a satisfactory manner at an early date.The new building at St.Hyacinthe is all but complete and will be ready for occupation early in July.It has been well planned to meet the special wants of that Branch.Designs for a building in the town of Granby are in course of preparation which will, the Directors believe, prove an ornament to that flourishing town and enable the business to be carried on with increased security and success, The Directors are beginning to find that the growth of the Bank\u2019s business demands, or will soon demand, an increase in the Capital, and by-law on this subject will be submitted to the Shareholders at the meeting, and their approval asked.The Directors feel, as before stated, that caution is very necessary, in such times as the present, when actual war, and threats of war, are prevalent in various parts of the world.It is to be hoped that the South African war will soon be at an end, and that a cloaer union of the several parts of our great Empire will ensue from the recent costly expenditure of treasure and blood in South Africa.The lesson, though so costly, will no doubt prove a salutary one, and has already shown that the Engish race, throughout the world, is one in mind and feeling, and that the blessings conferred on Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the South African colonies are not to be broken up and destroyed by an oligarchy, uncivilized, arbitrary and overbearing.Although this is a purely business !

reported the following Shareholders as elected, viz: R.W.Heneker, Hon.M.H.Cochrane, J.N.Galer, Israel Wood, N.W.Thomas, Gardner Stevens, C.H.Kathan, H.B.Brown, and J.S.Mitchell, being the old Board.The meeting then adjourned.At a meeting of the new Board the same day, R.W.Heneker was reelected President, and M.H.Cochrane Vice-President.The turning back at New York of Fitzharris and Mullett, the Phœnix Park conspirators, and the aid given by the United States authorities in securing evidence against the Welland Canal dynamiters, may be taken to mark the establishment of a better order of things.Up to fifteen or twenty years ago the countenance given in the United States to criminal conspirators against the peace of Great Britain was one of the scandals of international politics.Not only did convicts receive a welcome in United States cities, but they and their fel- low-criminals were allowed to lay plans and gather money in the United States for carrying out murderous designs in British territory.A lot of the worst frauds that ever cursed society will be as mnch shocked at the change as good men everywhere will be pleased.What a Tale It Tells.It that

reasons why he left Pretoria, Mr.Kruger said : \u201cI was not foolish enough to be taken prisoner.I provided this means of locomotion precisely for the same reason as our burghers supply thewn-

Wasbington, D.Where farm animals are not hard prinding Professor Henry of Wisconsin belivves that it is generally economical to feed grain whole, allowing the stock to do Îts own grinding.Ou the other hand, where animals are hard worked they should be assisted in regard to the feeds they receive in every way possible by the stockman.A good dairy cow when giving a full flow of milk is an exceedingly hard worked animal and should not be enlled upon tu use much of her energies in masticating and especially in digesting the food she is allowed.Everything which can lie reasonably done should be performed for her comfort and convenience, For sueh cows it is usually better to grind the grain, including both corn amd oats.Heifers and vows nearly dry should not receive such concentrates, and sueh ane ials ean often be given auground corn and oat: advantageously.Thus it will be seen that there is no fixed rule IA EE SUAS | = = = i AN B Ee rR Saino pi cry SEER RC HANDY SALT TROUGH.in these matters, One must be guided {in all cases by the prevailing condi- | tons, In general let it be said that if {hardworking animals are receiving y much grain the graîn should he ground, j while for

the ground and nail it se- eurely to a fence post.I put it close to the ground to keep some animal from getting his head under it and lifting it up.Now fill the box with salt.Cattle are curious.They will examine the box and smell the salt through the half noon hole, poke their noses in and lift the lid.This is the only way to keep the rain from melting the salt and keep the cattle from wasting the salt.1 have had one for two years in my pasture aml another in my barnyard, and I find them better thon any I have ever heard of.\u201d Farm Tests of Cows, Professor E.H.Farrington of the Wisconsin agricultural experiment station says that at the present tine there is not much necessity of urging cream- cries to use the Babeock test, .Within the past five years it has become almost universaily adopted as s just and satisfactory means of determining the value of all milk delivered to both creameries and cheese factories in the advanced American dairy states.Creamery pntrons can no longer sell milk to the factory Ly weight only, nel- ther can the factory buy it in this way.1t is generally agreed that milk ought not to be bought simply by the pound any more than a cow or a horse.We would all think it absurd to see or hear the statement that horses were quoted in the market at a certain price per pound, but such a statement is not much farther behind the times than the practice of buying and selling milk by weight without testing It.Since ihe practice of testing all milk at butter and cheese factories has become so well established the justness of the plan has led many farmers to apply the same test to their cows.This, it scems af the test should be pushed at the present time.Every farm that supports cows for the purpose of selling their milk ought to be provided with a pair of scales and a Babcock test.By welghing and testing the milk of each owner can keep himself informed of the actual performance of each cow, Records of this kind show the relative value of the cows as milk producers and aid in determining the actual profit or loss which should be ckarged to each cow annually.New Churns, When it becomes necessary to pro- worked and where they

dairying, says 13, smith in The American Cultivator, In a sense the Jersey breed represents just such a specialty.and she can do her best only when in her proper place, \u201cIt is n mistake to think that the Jersey ts the Caney dairgtan's cow and for \u201cthe wealthy farmer who goes into the business largely for the pleasure of it.Likewise it is far from the truth to say that the Jersey is suited to any dairy.The animal is a practical and useful one on every dairy where good food, good care and scientifie treatment are observed.This presupposes an intelligent knowledge of the needs of this particular breed.The animal is not a hardy or rough one, and it will not stand neglect and abuse, Take a line record breaking Jersey mitker and turn her out to find a living on rough pasturage, nnd she will grow thin and cadaverous and gradually decrease her yield of rich milk.She is not adapted \u2018to such a life.Neither will she etand \\exposure to n rough climate ja any \"kind of weather.She needs more pro- \u201ctection and care.We have cows that will endure any kind of rough usage, \u201cfood and wenther and still seem to thrive.They are suited to the prairie life, to farms where little attention is paid to modern, careful methods of dairying.But if a man has only enough | stock to occupy bis time so that he can Igive all the attention needed to cach l'animal the Jersey

powers could agree upon the deposi- | tion of the dowager empress and (he | enthronement of the reforming emperor in her place.Unfortunately he, is a weakling, and she is the ablest und most unscrupulous ruler in the recent history of China.Her deposition can be accomplished only by united action of the powers.Her sympathies have been with Russia and St.Peters- burg knows how useful it is to have her secret support.\u201cThe substitution of an amiable for this tierce, strong willed amazon can.hardly he made without bringing on a revolution, which will end ina catastrophe.All imperial authority wil come to an end and the European powers will be forced to resume responsibility for the government of, China, with the risks of quarrelling among themselves over schemes for partition and spheres of infiuence.The most practical method of settling the China question would be the occupation of Pekin by the military forces of a single power, acting with a mandate from the other governments.\u201cThe Daily Mail naively suggests that the United States Government is in a position to do this without exciting distrust and that it has troops: available for the purpose in Phillip- \u2018pines.This would be the ideal ar- \u2018rangement for England, and it is not strange that the imaginative editor should be fascinated by so brilliant and convenient an expedient; but no well informed diplomatist here sup- ! poses for an instant that Washington intends to relieve the European powers of their responsibility for pro- \u2018tecting their own interests in China, { \u2018Russia is also in a position to send la large military force to Pekin.This \u2018can be done if the Dowager Empress favors Russian occupation and is able to control the Manchus and prevent jan outbreak of the rebellion in Man- \"churin; but there will be imminent danger of setting all northern China on fire, and certainly of exciting the resentment of Japan and bringing on a fresh war over Corea.The good faith of Russia is distrusted both by Japan and by the European powers, and a mandate for the exclusive occupation of Pekin is not likely to be issued.EUROPE LOOKS TO LONDON.\u201cEurope in this hour of perplexity looks to London, not Washington, for some way of escape from disasters in the Far East.Possibly the present catastrophe has been forecast by Lord Salisbury, but there is no evidence in his recent diplomacy that this has been done.\u201cLord Rosebery, when the Liberal Government resigned, seemed to he vesy near reaching an understanding with Russia.Unless all signs fail, Lord Salisbury has not anticipated the present crisis and agreed upon a course of action for the emergency.If England be adrift and without a definate policy in China, pre-arranged with Russia and sanctioned by Germany and France, there will be a long | { life and excellent health, he replied: \u201cI don\u2019t know, unless it is hecause I dow! take uny exercise.\u201d Those who know the venerable gentleman best recognize the answer as absolutely true.Mr.Evarts takes no exercise.He has carefully avoided exercise for many years.When he went from his house to his office he would not walk a block; he would take a carriage no matter how short the distance.Mr.Evarts isn\u2019t the only public man who has a theory that physical exercise, added to mental effort, is a waste of tissue, which tends towards debility and shortening of life.Joseph Chamberlain is a conspicuous example.He spares himself all physical | effort, so far as he can.He will not walk up a single flight of stairs if he can help it.Senator Hanna is, perhaps, the most notable exponent of this principle in Washington.Vigorous as he is in speech and in mental effort, the senator is seldom seen save in an attitude which suggests physical repose.\u2014 Exchange.Great Britain owns at present probably about as much land on this continent as we do, also various posses- | sions on this side the Atlantic.Now! to say that while we have the right to seize and hold a thousand islands on the coast of Asia, no European nation shall hereafter establish a colony or obtain by purchase, treaty or otherwise, anacre of land in South America, thousands of miles from our coust, seems to us to be about as nonsensical « humbug as any war-secking politician can ever expect to make intelligent human beings believe.In behalf of the horses for whom it is our duty to speak, we protest against war with any nation on account of Munroe doctrine being held to include the great continent of South America.\u2014Geo.T.Antell in Our Dumb Animals.The P.E.Island Legislature has passed a provincial prohibition act too, With about half the population of the city of Montreal, chiefly living on farms and in rural villages, and With no railroad or road communication with the rest of the country, prohibition, if practically effective anywhere, should be so in the baby province.The law does not aim to stop drinking, but rather to prevent the retail sale of liquor for drinking, which is a good step towards the real prohibition goal.In Manitoba and P.E.Island more has come from the plebiscite than was expected.\u2014Montreal Gazette.Cm A JUSTIFIABLE DESIRE.The large majority of people very naturally have a justifiable desire that the physician\u2019s prescription should be filled by a competent druggist.Our long experience and our ample facilities for dispensing are at your command at all hours.If you have wisely decided to make use af Paine\u2019s Celery Compound, that king of medicines, we are always prepared to supply your wants.Our stock of this popular medicine is always fresh and pure, We heartily reccommend it.J.T.FLINT, Druggist, interval fllled with making ropes of Rock Island, P.Q.\u201cherself at the Palace with theatricals.not so changed; also that among the | The first repair train with Admiral | young cigarette smoking be condemned.Further, the committee would respectfully call the attention of the Dominion Parliament to the case of that of Corporal Courtney, of A Battery, Kingston, who was recently reduced to the ranks for refusing to march his gun detachment to the canteen for beer, and that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the major- general commanding the Canadian militia, It was agreed that the trustees of the parsonage property at Baldwin\u2019s Mills be permitted to sell half of their property and apply the proceeds to pay the debt on the other half.Similar requests from Robinson, East Angus, Inkerman, Arundel, Sherbrooke Street Church (Montreal), Aylmer, Ashton, Melbourne, were made and allowed.Conference received a telegram from the Methodist people of Fox Bay, Anticosti: \u201cWe, the undersigned heads of families of Fox Bay, wish to record our appreciation of the deep interest the Rev.Dr.Griffith and Sir Wilfrid Laurier have taken in our welfare to ensure our safe removal to our new home in the Northwest.\u201d Then there follows the names of thirteen heads of families.KNOWLTONDISTRIBUTING HOME.The little ones, whose names are appended, were among our 57th party of children which arrived here a few days ago.The older one are already provided for, and now we are seeking homes for the younger boys and girls.Before leaving England a'l of them passed a strict medical examination.We are assured, also, of their good behaviour and feel satisfied they will in time, with care, not only prove helpful, but, in a measure, bring gladness and comfort to many homes.We have photos, which can he seen.Applications should be accompanied by Minister\u2019s recommendation and rail fare.BOYS, Alfred, nue 2, Fair, blue eyes, good size, bright, Henry, age 8, Motherless, blue eye itty.Bertie, age 7, Orphauw, bright, hrown eyes!
