(The conr tor A vital question and one which diâ€" rectly affects the public health is that of pure milk, No community can exâ€" pect to raise healthy, strong men and awomen which Yurnishes the rising genâ€" eration with impure milk,. ‘The invenâ€" tions applied in the adulteration of milk are various and most of them are injurious.© All kinds of remedies have been applied in an endeavor to stop the adulteration of milk, but the practice, according to abundant tes-i timony, is still prevalent. The habit‘ of qUulterating milk so as to increase, its volume without increasing its value is quite common, as well as the addition of certain drugs having the quality oi preventing the milk turnâ€" ing sour. These, with various other inventions, are not at all uncommon, and of course the addition of a little water would increase the bulk . of n,ilk. whether it would improve â€" the quality or muantity of the cream . or not. , j Workly sewspaper published every Tharsâ€" The public of Ontario who are deâ€" pendent for their milk supply on orâ€" dinary milk vendors, have been clamâ€" oring for years, and are still clamorâ€" ing, for the introduction of some plan of inspection or some new policy that would give them the guality of milk asked for and especially the quality of milk paid for. We do not for a moment wish to be understood _ that milk vendors are all dishonest, _ but what we do say is, that the comâ€" plaint of the people receiving: poor milk is general. Dr. Hodgetts, secretary of the Proâ€" vincial Board of Mealth, is converâ€" sant with the circumstances and conâ€" ditions of things, and as a remedy suggests that milk be made a public utility and its management and disâ€" tribution be taken over by th» Govâ€" ernment. HMe says that this is about to be done in England; and that as a consequence, the big comparies . arc badly frightened. This would be a drastic remedy for the evil of impure milk; and it would certainly seem that if the municipalâ€" ity undertook the duty of coliccuny and distributing. mflk it should . hbe able to exercise suftcisat control over the sources of _ supply to keep them safe. There is not the shadow of a doubt that if it can be finally shown that municipal or even provincial inâ€" spection cannot guarantee the peopic pure milk some such step will be takâ€" en to protect the consumer. The muâ€" nicipalization of _ the _ milk suppl: would at least 1 work one greai cconâ€" omy in reducing the cost of distribwâ€" tion. At the present time tweniy families living on the same shot! street are very likely to be served by many â€" different milkmen. It the distribution ot milk were in public hands we would all take milk _ from the same man. The consequent sayâ€" ing is apparent. In some instances consumers might â€" shudder to have their milk supplied :( by municipal representatives. Peopl: must learn, however, that the right thing to do at clection time is to vote for representatives in whose inâ€"‘ tegrity they Nave confidence. _ One! thing is certain, the milk supply of, this town and the community in gvn-' eral must be raised permanently to a‘ point above suspicton. | There is no more sound criterion to go by of a nation‘s prosperity than the abundance of its crops. The failâ€" wire of the carth to bring forth, “l'l'! increase for one year means a shortâ€" age, but a suceession of failures means famine. Of course much depends upon the ingconnity and industry of the farâ€" ming community _ whether jcroys are large or small. If firstâ€"class cultivaâ€" tion be followed, and the best of seed vsed, as well as theLarvesting â€" atâ€" tended to in proper time, it has much to do withâ€" the amount of crop proâ€" duced on a given area of land. But all the rules and regulations known to agricultwral science fail if storm of tempest destroy, or unpropitions weather forbid the growth and tipenâ€" ing of the ctop. We are safe in saying that no counâ€" try in tWe world has better applianâ€" ves, better _ farmers ot better fand than the Dominion of Canada, and a better climate cannot be found _ anyâ€" where than that enjoyed by the peoâ€" ple of cur own country. As far as leing favored with the â€"most suitable weather is cdoncerned, with very little exception we have all that could le David Bean\ Proprietor OUR MILK SUPPLY. ~ THE CROP OUTLOOK er annum: u advance English and German, in EXAMINATION RESULTS FOR MATRICULATION Results at Berlin Collegiate Institute for _ Junior Matriculation and Junior and Senior Teachers.

The results of the examinaâ€" tion of several candidates who tried special subjects have not becn receivâ€" e;i.

Double tracking the section of the road between Winnipe; and Lake Superior was commenter last year, and it is now in conditior to handle 1500 ton in place of 50« ton loads ‘as last year. From Winni pes west to Regina and even as fa: as Mocsejaw the curves have beer straightened out and the track over the whole ‘prairie section ballastes anew and put into thorough running thape. The tig _ grade at <Medicinc Mat, up which it was necessary t« use two engines to puh the freigh and passenger trains, has been re graded to such an extent that freight ‘rains weighing many more tons thar those formerly pulled up with two lo comotives, can now be handled with one. to The first cutting of the harvest started in the Prince Albert district this week, and it is confidently expecâ€" ted that the average will run at least to thirty bushels an acre. There has been no damage from cither rust or fly sofar, and if the weather condiâ€" tions continue favorable, an excellent.‘ crop will be harvested all over the district: t Farther west the grain is not so far advanced, but in just as good condiâ€" tion as around Northern Saskatcheâ€" wan. There is no truth, it is reportâ€" ed, in the storics circulated by grain speculators that the yield of wheat will be much smaller than is given by official information.

Mr. A. B. Ingram, viceâ€"chairman of the Ontario Railway Commission, states on Thursday that no comâ€" plaints had yet been received regardâ€" inz unfaiz rates on railways. The commissioners are having quite a time trying to find out exactly where they are in connection with the Act under which they work. Their juris diction appliecs only to purely provinâ€" cial roads, and if a railway has apâ€" plied for and received a charter â€" deâ€" claring that it is a work ‘for the general advantage of Canada, it esâ€" capes the jurisdiction of the Ontario commission. . In former days all reguâ€" lations regarding the provincial railâ€" .ways were made by the Railway Committee, and the findings of that committee and all its rulings have to be carefully studied by the commisâ€" sioners before they can have any real certainty as to the ground upon which they stand in a particdlar case. They are, however, rapidly bringing order out of the chaos, and expect â€" before long to have their work going along smoothly in a routine manner. wWILL DEFINE DUTIEY OF RAILWAY C) YMISSION. One method by which they hope to increase the usefuiness of the commisâ€" sion is by publishing the rules and reâ€" gulations which they have drawn up andâ€"distributing them about â€"theâ€"proâ€" vince.

The Toronto Globe has the followâ€" ing in referunce to "the Guelph and Goderich Railway: | 6 < Construction work en the new C P. R. line, which is to link Guelph and Goderich, is proceeding rapidly. Steel is now laid for four or Afive miles west of Linwood, end grading is done considerably beyund the en. of the steel, At Linwood, which has been selected as a junction po.ht, a fine new station, sufficiently latge to accommodate a heavy traffic, <has been erected, and the laying of steel on a branch line to Listowel has also been commenced at Linwood and is to be pushed forward with rapidity. 1t is expected that in three of fou: weeks train service will be inruguralâ€" ed between Linwood and Guelph, setâ€" ving interven‘ng points. By early in the autumn the compiny intends, it is understood, to have the Listowel branch completed, and by the fall oi snow, to have steel laid through to Goderich. On the direct line betwein Guelph and . Goderich new 80â€"pound steel rails are being laid. On the Lisâ€" towel connection 60â€"pound â€" steel is The constructicn of these two lines and of a third from â€"Flesherton via Durhan:, Hanover and Walkerton to Kincardine is an evidence of the agâ€" gressive policy which the company is pursuing to obtain direct routes with low grades from two upper lake ports to Toronto, and also to secure busiâ€" ness offerings at flourishing . towns along these lines, ‘The company‘s upâ€" per lake port, now is Owen Sound. This gives a fairly direct route to Toronto, but the heavy grades gnâ€" countered have long been a menace to the economic operation of trains lor‘ the transportation inland of large volumes of grain brought down from the west. One of the reasons, thereâ€" fore, for building the new line to Goderich is to get the more suitable gragde. Elevators are being erected at (Goderich, the new road is being conâ€" structed with a view to accommoduâ€" ting heavy through traffic, as evidencâ€" ed by the character of the roadâ€"bed, the laying of standard steel, and the substantial appearance of bridges and stations. These facts, together with the casy grades selected, readily sugâ€" gest the desire to make Goderich the favored grain port. The significance of the new _ line, so far as the country is concerned is that they will connect several towns both inland and atong the coast which now are not served by _ any road. Such places as Goderich, Kinâ€" cardine, Listowel, Milverton, Elmira, Blyth, Durham, Hanover, Walkerton, Linwood and the other towns entered by the connection, all give evidence of traffic, both passenger and freight, which will greatly increase the comâ€" pany‘s earnings. Western Ontario, it is true, is well intersected _ with Grand Trunk lines, but the C.P.R. is without any line reaching the lake coast. from Owen Sound to Detroit. It is evident therefore, that this comâ€" pany is quietly invading a rich agriâ€" cultural and promising industrial terâ€" ritory, which the G.T.R. has held for itself for many years, with the inâ€" tent not only of establishing _ good through routes to Toronto and Montâ€" real, but of developing a steady local business. In continuation of _ this scheme it is proposed to build north from Teeswater to connect with the new Guelphâ€"Goderich line and: east from Flesherton to connect with the new Torontoâ€"Sudbury road now well advanced, Inquiries in some farm journals ofâ€" ten appear, regarding the way ~to deal with Canada thistles, comments the Weekly Sun, which adds: There never was a serious difficulâ€" ty in our mind as to how to deal with these. Elbow grease and frost aré two powerful agents, and ‘when wisely directed they will do the work. Hocing is a good way to kill the thistle. Older farmers have told us that they have killed â€" the thistle in a. badly infestcd field . by a light ganging or cultivating. after harvest, allowing the thistles to grow till November, when the field _ was plowed up deep and left open _ and rough through the winter. The frost finished the task. _ In the spring‘s crop not many thistles were ~noticed. This weed is â€"not the most troubleâ€" some by any means in the Canadian field husbandry. The proprictors of six «of Owen Sound‘s liquor hotels applied for _ a reduction of the assessment of their respective hotel properties. They vlaimed that the introduction of loâ€" cal option had reduced their net . inâ€" come 33 1â€"3 per cent., although their counsel admitted that the value . of their property was equal to, and in some cases more than the amount entered in the assessment roll. Town Solicitor Frost argued that a â€" man‘s income could have no . conccivable connecticn with the assessment . of his property. _ Mowever, the . judge held that the reduction in the liquor men‘s income was pertinent to the assessment of their property, and acâ€" cordingly reduced the assessment of the hotelkéepers 25 per cent. starved system along until it can find firm support in ordinary food.

The capital of the company was placed at $250,000, consisting of 2,500 shares at $100 per share. Of this, it is said, 132 \sharcs have becn subscribed for and 20 shares paid up. The intention of th: company was also to purchase the Wiarton Sugar: Company for $134,000, of which $13,â€" 000 has been paid on â€"ccount. The peâ€" titioner also claims that the comâ€" pany owes him $1,200 salaty as acâ€" countant and assistant secretary, that there are no assets, and : that besides unpaid bills the company . is insolvent. He also requests that the affairs of the company should be inâ€" vestigated, also the subscriptions of the sharcholders and directors, . and also asks for the appointment of a liquidator.
