Mr. Gardner said that the precau- tions taken by Canada against the en- trance of diseased cattle from the United States had been materially strengthened during the year 1893, If it were only necessary to consider the question from this point of view he would not hesitate to conclude that ample security. was now afforded for the withdrawal of the present restrictions. The, projected inquiry,he said, related chietly to scrutiny of the lungs of imported cattle.

A few of the most objectionable features of the statute jabor system may, however, be over- come by a much less sweeping meaaure and one or two of these features we will Much discussion has taken place dur. ing the past, winter regarding the best methods If improving our public roads Many papers have been read at farmers' institute meetings, and a special road convention has been held. On almost all occasions, the advisability of con- tinuing the statute labor system has been argued pro and con. While much might be protitably said regarding the necessity of stood road drainage, the careful screening of all gravel used for road improvement, and the necessity of enforcing the use of Wide tired wag- gons, it is more particularly with refer. ence to the statute labor system that we wish now to speak.

That the beats be lengthened into, any, tenanile lengths, as is found most convenient, and that a man thoroughly qtmlitied in every respect be appointed and paid to oversee the work. We have not space to go on and give in detail all the be- nefita tGt would accrue by such a. change being made, but will leave the matter for our readers to think over as we have done. heifer to. ' First, thhn, the pathmastership is usually considered an honorary posi- tion, and for this reason It passes from one member of the neat to another, no one holding it for more than two or three years; hence, as men differ great- ly as to the extent of their knowledge of, and also in their ideas about, road making, much of the good work done by an intelligent pnthmuster is lost by his being removed from office and sup- erseded by it man who has no proper knowledge of the business. A second _i:',,i.iis',.ii,i,i.'i,ii.,iti'i, arises from some men being so mean as to impose on the pnthmnster simply because they know that, as he is their neighbor, he would not care to fall out with them simply for the sake of getting a. yard or so more gravel drawn. The last and most serious ob. jection to the present system that we will mention is the shortness of the beats. This objection will be more ap- parent when illustrated by an example. For instance, beat No. 1 is furthest l from the market, but directly opposite the gravel pit; beat No. 2 is nearer the market, but has to get gravel at the same pit; and beat No. 3, on the same road, is still nearer the market, but has also to get material from the same source of supply. The rvsult is that No.1 l will he kept in good condition, No. 2 J not so good, and No. 3 still worse, yet I all farmers in beat No, l have to drive I over beat No. 3 in order to get to mar- ket. Such dith'culties as these must) continue to exist so long as the present i system prevails. i, Our Spring Millinery and fancy novelties are of first class English, French and Ameriesn designs and styles.
