The flet It is safe to say that- the session just closed of the Ontario Legislature has been closely watched by all classes of people on account of the interest attaching to the Liquor Act which passed its third Fri day night It strikes thai the Govt has been too harshly censured by some of the extreme Prohibitionists in their interviews and letters The Act is not by any means all that temper ance people could for still it is the measure Hon WRoss was asked for when the Manitoba Act was upheld by the Privy Council and it seems to be all that it in his power to give us I cannot agree with the extreme sec tion of the Pros who condemn the Govt entirely for bringing in the Re ferendum The measure of Prohibi tion given by this Act would be thought by some temperance people too small and as former votes were given for Prohibition pure and simple they had a light to heard from And the Referendum being given I think a day apart should be taken for the vote for the man not enough in earnest to go out and record his cares too little whether we get tie measure or not to be counted In fairness to the Ross Govt we must acknowledge that their utter ances have been distinct that if the measure becomes law by this vote of the people and they are returned to power they will enforce that Jaw to the full extent of their powers While on the other hand the utterances of Mr Whitney and his followers with the exception of Mr were so plain that he who runs may read They oppose the Hill in brand ing it as utterly bad and unworkable It follows that if elected to power and they do their duty it will be at once repealed Should they be care less of duty they will simply not en force it which would lie infinitely worse than repeal Which is it to be brothers Party or Temperance principles I would be glad if the Govt could see its way to enable the vast army of lumbermen and other workers in our northern regions to record their at the nearest polling place The date fixed for the taking the vote practically disfranchises them if this cannot be done It would in all likelihood occasion an outcry that there was British precedent for such permission Canada in about enough to strike rules for her self to enter a string protest against the argument of party and some speakers of the The Com That Pays Best The question as to which is the most profitable cow is one that can not be decidedin any arbitrary man ner There are so many stances and contingencies to be taken into consideration that alter all is said and written cm the subject each man must decide the question largely on his own judgment He will find it necessary consider the nature of his farm the suitability his build ings and implements the cost of hired help if is required the proximity of A good market for his finished and many other de- jails The comparative advantages of and dairying would probably be the first- point considered by a fairer who was just about to make s in cattle raising Men who have had experience in either of these lines not likely to change to the other line involving as it does changes in farm routine in vari ety and management of crops in buildings and feulpments without a good deal of That beef- production be carried on with a smaller expenditure for labor and utensils is true and it cer tainly does not the constant attention to business that dairying entail Next comes question bced It will think be generally conceded by fair men that there is no best breed Everything depends dn circumstances A breed that proves highly satisfactory in one dis trict may be found entirely to different environments Only four breeds of beef cattle viz Short horns Galloways and AberdeenAngus have attained popu larity in Canada and only the first mentioned can be said to be general ly distributed The others may equal the Shorthorns for beef production and even surpass them under certain conditions but the superior milking qualities of the Shorthorns and par ticularly of the grades have given them an unequalled popularity among our farmers Where feed is plentiful and the country not too high or brok en they are likely to prove satisfac tory and in addition will a fair amount of milk The ease with which good bulls of this breed can be produced for grading purposes is also an argument in its favor Breeders of the other sorts arc comparatively few and the op portunity for choice is small when one desires to select a bull In the colder parts of Canada and on the bare pastures of the mountainous the Galloways and West landers should prove serviceable on account of their hardiness and position that the Act simply throws the traffic into the hands of the Among the daisy breeds the Ayr Guernseys and French Canadians arc all held In and druggists This is an undeserv ed slur on these two branches the medical profession No doubt there are some unprincipled men in both lines as in every other class but here they are the- very small exception not the rule The doctors of our country are becoming more and more convinced of the danger and in efficacy of alcohol as medicine They speak out very plainly and refuse to be lieve that any considerable number of them would lend themselves to such abuse of their powers to pander the base appetite of any one and Is sue a prescription for alcohol where not needed as a medicine And the same holds true of our druggists many of whom are noble christian men for March Constable Richard has arrest ed James and mother Margaret Dennis of Hastings a vil lage near here on a charge of fraud On November last Dennis

Under advene circumstances such as scanty pas tures lack of winter feed and care 4c they will probably- yield a greater percentage of profit than those breeds which have for generations been to good food and care The highly thought of in the have never gained sufficient foothold in Canada to our farmers to judge their suitability for country Doth they and their close relatives the are especially adapted for the production of fancy butler or cream for a high priced city trade and the of Canadian of these two breeds are think used for this purpose The and seem to be gaining In popular ity among the general dairy farmers who support the cheese factories- and creameries and with the dairy Short horns likely to divide he greater part of the dairy field between them The are likely to do better on the level lands with bush pas tures and of winter food while the Ayrshires should 1 think find more favor on rolling or hilly lands because of their great activity Hut while certain well defined dif ferences may characterize the various breeds yet it may be well to remem ber that there Is much greater individual animals the same breed than between different breeds A good cow Is a good cow no matter her breed may be Therefore let each man select the breed that he considers best suited to and stick to It Let or breed to the best avail able bulls of that breed and continue- to grade up his

gone And the words of our tongues cannot tell Nor express the deep depths of our sorrow Nor the grief that our hearts ever borrow In the home where no more thou dost dwell Like the rays from the blue skies above When the spring to the earth is returning Like the light of the lamp that is burning Was the sunshine and light thy love But no more in our home shall we hear The sweet voice and kind words of our Mattel And no more shall her sweet smile be able To dispel our home every fear Thou art gone brightest joy ot our life From our sight thou hast gone like a vision From our sight to sweet realms Where no pain is nor sorrow nor strife We miss thee dear Mabel day We shall miss thee and mourn in deep sadness And the home that was filled with thy gladness Now but woe for thy death shall display But our woe with bright hope- well And our faith in Gods love shall not sever believe the Redeemed blest forever In the joys of Our Lord shall engage In that home our Mabel has gone With what gladness again well behold Iter Where bright glories celestial enfold her Midst the angels encircling Clods throne Oh the joy that our spirits shall feel When with rapture again we shall meet her When with heartthrilling Joy we shall her Where no sorrows our home shall reveal Where the tears shall be wiped from each eye Where no pain shall spirits discover Where no darkness around us shall hover Where no fear and no death shall come nigh Oh dear Mabel dear Mabel we feel home now doth seem so forsaken That the Lord who doh give has but taken And the Lord his kind love Will reveal And we know
