Crosvenor, at the request of the National Live Stock Association, recently introduced in- fo the House of Representatives of the United States, a bill to provide for federal inspection of mixed goods and the proper marking of the same which is known as H.R. 6565. The purpose of this Bill is to make it possible for the consumer to know what he is purchasing by having the goods stamped so as to indicate whether it is allwool, or if not, then the percentage of shoddy or waste. There is no objection made to the use of cotton waste, mungo, shoddy &c., &c., in the manufacture of tex- tile fabrics, when the fact is made known to the consumer, and where fraud is not perpetrated by selling these mixtures as all wool fabrics. « As an epitome of the measure, the following is extracted :--* All manufacturers of goods or fabrics of any kind whatsoever made in imitation of woollen goods or fabrics or goods which when so made are calculated or intended to be sold as woollens or woollen goods, not made wholly of new or unused sheep's wool, shall so mark, label, or tag such goods, as that they may be readily distinguished from genuine wools or woollens, as defined in the first section of this Act That such mark, label or tag shall be so at- tached to such goods or fabric so that it cannot be detached ex- cept by design; and such label shall accurately state in plain print €d letters or figures the constituent fibres or other materials or sub. stances of which it is composed, or the relative proportion per cent of each." The penalty for non-com- pliance with the provisions of the proposed law are thus set forth :-- "That any maufacturer, merchant, ifporter, or other person who shall wilfully, recklessly, or carelessly ark incorrectly any clothes, goods fabrics, or any article manufac- thred, or in the process of manufac- ture therefrom, required by this Act to be labelled or marked, so as to show a larger per' cent of wool or a smaller percent of shoddy or cheap- et'fibre or material, in any manner that will, or is calculated to, deceive or mislead the purchaser thereof, ghall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and shall he fined not less than $50, and not more than $5,000 for each offence." The National Live Stock As. rigtion: points out that ; "There ie several-classes of shoddy. The made from the sweepings of 'and the emptyings of cc The | 4 rs and houses of Europe all kinds and and disease. These : rag.pickers from and alleys and sent to shiploads, where they ed'by a certain class of urers, who, in order to curse off the name, term 'used wool fibre," It red however that tearing this ratory to h, it is ve : duld b state : 2s8 they were true: It can be readily seen that, apart from the fraud and misre tation in the matter thereis a considerable source of danger to the public health through infection. It will, I believe, be readily ad- mitted that some shoddy is better than many low grade wools, and when made into cloth, would make a better article than the short staple low grade wool, but this is one of the anomalies one has to contend E.| with and should not be a stubling block to legislation on the question. Strenuous efforts will no doubt be made in all countries where legisla- tion is proposed to prevent the con- sideration of the subject: but the difficulties in the way of formulating a wordable enactment cannot be unsurmountable, and I sincerely hope that this paper may do some thing to hasten the object we have in view, ; AtrrED MANSELL, Shewsbury, England. Keep Our People Here. ** Now, Sir, I venture to enquire whether itis not possible for the people of Canada to manufacture a very comsiderab ion we are taking every year from the United States. I venture to think that it is not holding out any impos sibility to the people of this country fo say that, possessing the resources for manufacturing which we do, we should within a very short time, if the government of this country would enact a sufficient system of protec- tion, be able to manufacture a very considerable proportion of these articles ourselves, and keep in this country the people who are now going to the United States, getting work there in the very factories which are turning out the articles which afterwards come to Canada, and which have been produced by people from this country." Mr. R. L. Borden, M.P., in his announce- ment of the Conservative policy. Sir Wilfrid is no Saint. Amongst the rising generation there is a feeling that Sir Wilfrid Laurier is an ideal politician. Lib- erals have been teaching the public to believe that no unworthy action can be brought home to the Prem- ier of Canada, who has just aban- doned one carnival of posing in England to enter upon another in France. Sir Wilfrid, however, is neither an idealist or a politlcal saint. In days gone by he has openly advocated the employment of corrupt measures by his followers. From the public platform he recom- mended "human devices" as the best means suited to the winning of elections. Further when Count Henri Mercier and his aide, the notorious Pacaud, were engaged in robbing the Province of Quebec of hundreds of thousands of dollars, the stolen funds were largely used in an effort to return Sir Wilfrid to power. The Prime Minister's very election deposits in Richmond and Wolfe were paid out of the purloin- ed funds. This much of Sir Wil- frid's record, in itself, is sufficient to destroy the value of any of the flowery reference the Premier by his friends. If Sir Wilfrid is what he represents himself to be, no money of the Pacaud stripe would have been spent on his behalf. Young that, Sir Wilfrid has a past, of which the Mercier-Pacaud feature is not a flattering part. What Mr. Fisher Doesn't Do. An articlein the London Times on "Colonial Dairy Produce." notes tie fact that during the past year, Great Britain's buttter importations from the colonies were, Australia 153,378 cwt: New Zealand, 146, 137 cwt ; and €anada, 130,879 cwt. Australasian butter sold for an average of 10gs. 6d. per cwt., while Canadian butter only averaged 104s 1od. The Times points out that Canadian butter looses its value be- cause it is improperly packed, and carried on steamers the temperature of which is much too high. The Australasian colonies, it is shown, have overcome the difficulty of transporting butter for long dis tauces, while Canada is far behind. This is interesting in view of the fact that Hon. Sydney Fisher has been booming himself asthe greatest friend the Canadian dairyman has. Canadians will be somewhat startled to find that, not only can the Aus- tralians beat us out in a market which is some thousands of miles nearer to us, but io secure far the |ly wake Mr. Fisher? What About This Deal ? The Dominion Iron. and Steel Company succeeded last winter in inducing the Nova Scotia legisla- ture to pass an Act, which enabled the company to pay a dividend "out of their capital. "The legislation sought was of such a remarkable character that the Nova Scotians hesitated to give to its passage, Then the Liberal Cabinet at Ottawa was called upon to use its influence, and the result was highly satisfactory. The bill ent through, the dividend was d . and Dominion Iron and Steel stocks "stock made money, weit up. Those fortunate enough Cabinet Ministers whose the co y in pe nt legislat 0 of these whic men would do well to remember | And now France is to freer hand in Canadian Com circles. Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Hon. W. S. Fielding, and Hon, Wm. Patterson have so declared, and they are now iu Paris, endeavoring by 4 upon the French govern- ment a fifteen or thirty-three per cent. preference in the tariff of this country. As usual, the government have not consulted parliament in the the matter, but are depending on their majority to support any action they may take. Only a few weeks ago our manufacturers expressed themselves as strongly opposed to prefefences to foreign countries, yet the Liberal cabinet have turned a deaf ear to their ap- peals, and the result will probably be that, with the new French treaty, a few additional thousands of Can adians will be forced to proceed to the United States in order to earn their livings. There is no need of entering on it details td prove that the British preference has been a worthless de lusion, so far as Canada is concrned. It has served to give employment to the woolen works of Yorkshire and has closed down the factories of Canada. It has provided for the cheap textiles from Germany and other foreign countries, upon the "were only export g wares has proved another source of danger to the Canadian, But even with such examples of the evils of preferential trade of outside pro- ducts to guide them, Sir Wilfrid and his ministers have faiied to grasp the situation In the 'British markets we hoped to gain concessions for our grain in return for the privileges extend ed to the motherland, but perhaps it was their anxiety to place France on a footing with the men of York- shire and Germany, that induced our ministers to abandon the idea of a "mutual preference" and hurry to France to throw our trade channels wider open. British papers in their latest com- ments on the Colonial Conference, blame] the Canadian Ministers for the greater part of the faiiure to obtain recognition of the claims of the colonies for some consideration at the hands of the home govern- ment. The Saturday Review takes Sir Wilfrid to task for his weak- kneed policy. It says: "As we anticipated would be the case, both Mr. Chamberlain and the Premiers have been hampered by preliminary declarations. Sir Wilfrid Laurier has by his Free-Trade ad- missions weakened the hands of the Premiers." Laurier's foolish speeches in 1897, then, would seem to have had just the effect on the minds of British statesmen, that Canadians least de- | sired. It placed Sir Wilfrid in the position of either standing to his uns or informing the world that, in 1897 he was simply talking for effect, a characteristic of his that is becoming more and more apparent. Unfortunately for Canada the Prem- ier did not rettact his Cobdenite views and the Canadian farmer has lost a market worth millions each year. And now, through the medium of his treaty with France, the maru- facturére are to receive some of the same medicine administered by Sir Wilfrid to the farmers, when he shut them off from a mutual prefer- ence. Taken all in all, the present cruise of the ministers has been the the greatest disaster that has befal len this country for years. When its possibilities are placed side by siee with its failures, the contrast is a gloomy. Nothing that could be done would be more injurious to our chances for a mutual preference in British markets, than the present offer to France. It shows the Britisher that his privileges are not exclusive, and that his advantage in our markets is likely to cease at any moment. Canadians Will Support Them Five thousand Doukhobors have decided that, during the coming winter, the Government of Canada must be responsible for their main- tenance. Hon. Clifford Sifton has so often declared these people to be the acme of our immigration im- portations, that the announcement is somewhat startling. The Conser- vative party was denounced for daring to impeach the usefulness of these settlers, who were heraled as a people of priceless value in opening up a country where other races would starve. But the delight: ful picture is shattered and it is up to the people of Canada to support the thousands, for the departure of whom Russia had reason to thank Providence. Worthless in their own Fcountry; to be a greater nuisance here. Five thousand Canadians from the United States might have occupied the places of the undesirable Douk- hobors, had the money spent in assisting the latter been devoted to encouraging the former to return to their native land. Canada is only begianing to reap the harvest of the ill-advised immigration policy of the present administration.

Even though turkeys are good for- agers it will not pay to let them go without proper feeding. Everything in the rearing of young poultry depends upon their care and management at least until well feath- ered. Fowls inclined to fatten too easily are not good layers. The flesh they carry makes them lazy, and this never promotes laying. Middlings make a good food for poul- try, but if wet up alone it is too sticky. The better plan is to mix with bran or corn and wet with milk or scalding water. Whitewash is better than paint on the poultry houses, for the reason that it costs less and has a purifying influ- ence. It may be applied as often as once a month to advantage. 7 The properties of sunflower sced are Cy | it d 1 ug to tle plumage of a fowls a gloss that no other grain produce, y Gainsborough and His Carrier. One of the earliest members of the Royal academy, it was Gainsborough's custom. to have his pictures conveyed to the metropolis by a prosperous Lon- don carrier, a Mr. Wiltshire of Shock- erwick, near Bath, This man refused - to accept payment on the ground that he loved pictures too well. He was not, however, allowed to go unreward- ed, for Gainsborough presented him with six of his best works, and some idea ,of their ultimate value may be gained from the fact that when at length they were sold the National gal- lery secured two, "The Parish Clerk of Bradford-on-Avon," for 500 guineas, and "The Harvest Wagon," for £2,500, these prices being considered low.
