WEALTH IN DRTARID. FARR TALK BEFORE CANADIAN CLUS | BY C..C; JAMES, Big Profit From Frujt--Two Prob- | lems For the Farmer--The Modern Pig is a Fortune Pro- duger. Termin Sar The members of the Canadian club know far more about the Ontario far mer, his cow and pig and ehestes, than they did yesterday morming. To them ihe farmer is no more a man with broad-brimined hat and horney hands. And the name pig is no. | nger synonymous with a bundie of fat, snoring in a Sty, nor is the old cow merely an eater of grass and giver of milk. For one-half hour yesterday be- fore the club €. C. James, deputy min ister of agriculture for Ontario, spoke on the growth of sgriealture in ~ Un: tario, in which he placed the man with the hoe on 'a mountain of im: portance all his own. There are 175,000 farmers in Ontario and their invested capital amounts to one Hillion of dollars. Mr. James said that had he the wealth of 8 Carnegie or one hundred millions at his dis posal to give he would present this money to the Ontario farmers, giving 2600 to each, knowing that it would he well invested. The annual prode-i of the Ontario farms Js $250,000,000, and Mr, James pointed out that if this product conld be increased 1y ten per cent. it would mean a great increase of $25,000,000 for the pro vince, The depuly minister was brist ling with figures, not res represent: teme-of -thousande,..or. hundreds of thousands, but figures that ran away up into the dizy mil lions. He pointed out that a simple increase of a cent per bushel in On tario grain would mean an increase of 1.500.000 a venr in the annual value of the product. The speaker claimetl that could he, Midas like," bat place the magie touch upon the apple trees in this province, and add filteen cents' value to the product of each, a mil lion more would he the result. I this same touch could be laid upon ' the cattle, and each cow be given an add od value of 81, another million would he added to the assets of the Ontario farmer. If the price of cheese vould be raised a simple one-quarter of a cent per pound, the farmer would again profit hy $300,000, Dazzling, staggering, and stupendous those figures | They stariled' the club a hit, The speaker divided his subject into four heads : Wheat, fruit, live stock, and deir¥iog. Wheat, is no longer king in Ontario. The province has got past that. There was a time when if wheat dropped 'the farmer's jaw dropped with it. However, Mr, James pointed out that Ontario was a great wheat-raiser, and last yedr from one and one-half million seres raised 30,000,000 bushels. The entire wheat erop of the world is 2,500,000, 000 bushels, and Ontarib can, so Mr. James thinks, by improved methods, raise this twenty bushels to the acre to fifty bushels on the average, which would give the province a unique place os one of the grain-growing cen- ters of the world. ?

Yet there is something wrong. Ontario bos six and onehall milton apple trees, upd. it is called a good year when this provives is able export one million barrels of apples to the old land. There are two great problems which the farmer scems to shipwreck on; the question of preserva tion and that of Irapsportation. Mr. James scoret those who are coptintial- ly basping on fast steamship lines, Be- ing deputy ministee of agriculiure, he doesn't think that the trapsportation of men is ball as important to welfare of the province as the annual safe sending of thousands and thou sands of dollars' worth of perishalle products acrow the sea to John Bull, "Where ope dollar is involved in the sending of a passenger quickly thou sands of dollars are involved in the other matter," said the speaker. This sentiment was applanded. That unlovely animal; the pig, woe the subject of an interesting five mint utes. The hog of today w not the to other day was nothing but fat. The fumberman liked him, but the culti- of pia has come, Fashion in millinery fashion in pigs. The pig of to day, the speaker explained, was built upon new lines as a bacon producing animal. In 1506 forty-seven million 'pounds of bacon were exported; and in 1900 the figures had jumped to 132, 000,000. The pig, this new style pig, is: coming to the front as Mr. James says. e is credited with paying off mote mcrtgages than any other single part or parcel of the farm. Dairying was touched on as the first cause of the growth in the piggery. It was noted with pleasure that On- tario had secured such a firm hold in England with certain kinds of cheeve. It was also shown that up till a ht tle while ago the farmer had a con: ceit that he knew about all that was worth knowing, as regards chetsamak ing. He cured his cheese in a hot room, but science had come along and said that chéese could be cured eold. No longer a slave to tradition, be hind the times in any way, the farmer stands the power, the man behind the plow. Mr. James says that to-day the' man who would be a success! tiller of the soil must have as liberal a general education as the man of business. VERY BRESSIMISTIC. No Fear of British Flag Disap- pearing Off Seas. London, April 26. The Daily Mail publishes a statement this morning to the effect that the promoters oi the new shipping. combination will announce in a few days, that the ad rangement is one for mutual commer cial convenience and has no special national significance. At the same time the Daily Mail professes to know that the vessels of the British lines which have been taken over will pass under the Americun flag, after three or four years. Tt talks of a new ship ping bill, which will be promoted in the United States congress with the object of permitting vessels, built abroad. but owned in America, to he brought under the American flag and quotes one of the promoters as say- ing that, apart frommsailing vessels, private yachts and the navy, the Pritish flag will at, the end of a few years have disappeared from the North Atlantic. Col. Denison fears that the trust will buy up the Canadian Pacific railway. aml thereby : control all lines that could possibly feed the shipping. He says the British policy should be to run a competing line, tax evervthing the combine vessels bring into the country and let the things that the other line brings come in free In parliament, yesterday, severaljin cisive questions were aked respect jn the shipping combination and its bearings on the subventions for re serving eight Cunarders and as mauv ite- Star vessels. The replies indi cated that the admiralty was in com- munication with the lines and wes taking precautions for preventing the loss of registry or transier of flag in an emergency not contemplated when the subventions were made. Shipping men considered that undue excitement has been caused by news 8, that the flag will remain over British . ships * now in the trans-Atlantic trade. also con- tend t one combination will te met by another, for British capitalists with the admiralty, will not allow the control of the merchantuen to pass into foreign hands. ------------ THE WASH A NOVELTY. ------ Pitinble Condition of a Family of Ohio Children.

Japan has a leading actor whose place at the head of his profession is | as undisputed as is Sir Henry Tey ing's in the theatrical world in Eng land. jchiwawa Danjuro is now 63. | His ancestors were on the stage more than 200 'vears ago and theatre folks | in Japan accept him as worthily up holding the family traditions. On Broadway theatrical precedence regulates itself. They order these | things differently in Japan. There is i a real theatrical aristocracy in the | flowery laud, Its embers are called "nadai." None way be of their number who has not hau the good fortune to: inherit a great name, like Jehiwawa Danjuro | or to have been adopied into some | famous theatrical family. Middle dass actors may have their | merits, but they cannot hope to { come nadai on them, and to enjoy (he | attendant privileges. The principal | of these are that they are entitled to | advertise theif names on the play- | boards over the theatre doors, and | there are only five actors who have | it. i Danjuro is easily ahead of the five. | Ope of his favorite parts is that of the | hero in 'The ' Cushingira, a play | written in 17794, which has for its subject the revenge of their chieftain's | death by forty-seven retainers, For a century and a quarter i has been ga stock play sure to draw | full houses when all' others fail. Dan- | juro has played the part 78 times, | which, in Japan, where audiences de- i hand variety of repertoire, and lots of it, is considered a remarkable | record. Acting in Japan isn't easy, pither on players or audience. In Tokio, where foreign methods are revolution ising * all things, including the stage, they have got the length of the per formances down to 'about sight hours But in the interior .playgoers insist on getting their money's worth--that is fifteen solid hours of theatrical at this | relief of everybody con corned, un day's performance is rarely occupied by a single play.

Finally there a scene in which dancing is the chief feature. : Se everybody gets something to his taste 14 ia rare to sep Japanese women on the stage with won. Usually men play the women's parts, and they fre quently show remarkable «kil in im personating women, Most Japanese actors pequire a hab it of declapiming in a voice of peculiar register, ana one of the results is that the foreigner has great - difficolty in determining whether it is a man or a woman who is performing the wo- man's part. i" Our serge suits do their own talk- ing and it takes hut $5.50, $10 and $12 to buy them.

In the factories act of 188, with down to 1901, and the shops regulation act, the safety and are na ture for various places and lines of employment is carried, when necessary, { to the minutest details.
