That Canadian farmers are loosing millions of dollars anually on account of the poor qoality of batter made, and consequent low price realized for this staple article, no one will stop to question, but the great problem is to find a tangible remedy for this deplor- able state of affairs. The profits of farming have been so reduced, that every available means will be eagerly adopted towards im* proving the quality and lessening the cost of producing the various^products, and besides, that branch of husbandry which yields the best return for capital and labor invested, will be closely watched, and receive special attention. The most successful class of agri- culturists of to-day, are those who follow mixed husbandry that is, they do not rely solely on one kind of grain or even all kinds, but a rotation of the various kinds of grain together with stock and dairy, and the latter is claimed to be at the present period, the most profitable, notwithstanding the very unsatisfactory state of the butter trade. Mow, to come back to the butter question, there seems to be no prob- ability of as improvement, under X^resent circumstances While butter is purchased by storekeepers, from their customers, and the price about the same for all kinds, (butter and grease) what inducement is there on the part of farmers and their wiyes to improve the quality Then in the first place a new method of purchasing butter must be introduc- ed. It cannot be expected that a store keeper will risk loosing a customer who leaves him say $200 a year, by offering two cents per lb. less for his butter than his next neighbor receiv- ed, while there roay be fully four cents ner lb. difference iu the quality of the article when looking at it from this standpoint (and we think it a reason- able one) we do not wonder that the butter trade is unsatisfactory. The local merchants cannot act as a strag- er would in the purchase of butter, though he may be an expert in induing the article then there should, in our opinion, be an inspector appomted to inspect, and brand each tub with it? true grade. One inspector could do the work of, say six villages, one for each day in the week, having a certain day appointed for each, village, for butter market and as ior the inspec- tors salary, we imagine our merchai^ts would cheerfully bear that expense, and find it a paying investment. Until butter is made in creameries. (as we claim it all should be,) the above system would doubtless raise the.grade and therefore very materially increase the profit of the dairy.

The North- West terrtiory comprising the district of Saskatchewan, Assiniboia and Alberta have settled their differences, and it now only needs the sanction of the Dominion Government to make legal the agreement to which they have come as to their local representation, and to premit them also to return jointly four members to the next Dominion House.

EVERY-DAY MANNERS. Children who '-ax-e not taught good manners cannot be made to appear otherwise than uncouth and possible rude when company comes to the house. Their daily home-life, and the manners of those with whom they are constantly associated, are examples they inevitably follow. Scenes like the following are sufficienly common to be recognized as truthful by the reader A lady makes an afternoon call upon a mother. The childr^i half-a-dozen in number perhaps, surrounds the visit- or with marked signs of interest in her personal appearance. '•It is a very pleasant day," the caller says. "Yes, very. Mary* run and sit down Janie, don't touch the lady's dress," "Are your fanodly all well?" "Oh yes, thank you. Tommy don't stare so at the lady." "How do you do, little girl " asked the caller pleasantly. The little girl pitts her finger in her mouth. "Can't you ta child?" asked the mother, sharply. Why fdonit' you say, "I am well, thank :you?" "I'm very well, if you please," returns the child with a giggle. "There now' don't giggle. Take your finger out of your mouth. Jane, get off the back of the lady's chair. Bim away, all of you?' "I haven't seen you out lately," the caller says. "No I've been very busy. My family requires all of my time.
