The formal opening of the Trent Ca.- nul lift-lock, about half a mile from the eastern boundary of the city of Peter- borough, took place at 2 o’clock on Sat- urday afternoon in the presence of a crowd of spectators, which would with- out doubt have been much larger, but for the very heavy rain which fell from about 1.30 to 3 p. 11:. Among those ‘,present were over one hundred and fifty Cabinet Ministers and members of par- liament, as well as many other promi- nent persona.ch from ail parts of the Dominion from Nova Scotia to British Columbia. The lock, which is claimed to be the largest of its kind in the world, was commenccl eight years ago and cost $500,000. The work has been under the direct cenlrol of the Depart- ment of Railways and Canals. and es- pecially of Mr. it. B. Rogers, of Peter- borough, Superintendent of the Trent 1 Canal, who visited Europe to sludy ex isling models and put them into execu- tion with improvements, and of Mr. W. J. Francis, C. E. who has been in charge of the construction since 190'.) The lock was built to overcome, by one lockage, a difference of sixty five feet in levels, which effects a very great saving of time, as a lockage takes only twelve minutes. The mechanism. whi 11 works to perfection, is very simple, as the Globe’s reporter describes its medics ope randi in these few word<z “ The vessel desiring to be lowered sails into a po 1- tocn of water supported by a huge pis- ton, and by adjustinpr the weight of water in the upper and the correspond- ing pontoon, then at the bottom, the one descends and the other ascends, just. as the ends of a grueer's scale balance when he is giving correct weight.” Each of the pontoons. which are simply oblong boxes or tanks, measures 37 by 140 feet, and will take any vessel that will pass through the email. A chain of navigation of 160 miles, extending from Heeley’s Falls on the Trent to within a few miles of Lake Sinicoe. is now completed, leaving only 43'milcs ol' the Trent system to be established, of which 17 miles of river will have to be c mal ized. The substructure of the lift lock ivhich is entirely of concrete, required 26,000 barrels of cement in its construc- tion; and, as six barrels of gravel are mixed with one of cement in makin! the concrete, it follows that cucugh con- crete to fill 182.000 barrels was used. Testing Dairy Herds. The Department of Agriculture. Ol- tawa. has for some lime been mending the establishment am vng Can adian dairy farmers of cn-(iperutivc testing associations, somewhat similar to those which have had such a. marked effect in increasing the milking capacity and reducing thc'cost of production in Danish dairy herds. Under the direc- tion of the Minister of Agriculture. an object lesson along that line is now being given in the district about Cowansville, Que;, with the GovernmentCool Curing Room as the. centre. where the. testing is done and-the records kept, Arrange- farmers in the vicinity undertake to keep accurate records of the daily milk yieldof'each cow in their herds. Sam- are taken three times a month and test- ed for butter fat at the Cool Curing Room. The milk record‘ sheets are collected monthly, and these are cem- pared with the records of the cheese milk, so that a. fairly sufficient check on accuracy is provided. Some 1450 cows are concerned in this. Cowansville cow census, which shows that the large dairymen of that district are alive to the importance of weeding out the un- profitable producers. This testingr as- sociation is, as yet, merely in the experâ€" imental stage, but if it works out satis- factorily, it will doubtlesslead to a con- siderable extension of the movements The HomelyvflowBoat; Numerous as are the deaths by drown- ing caused by the upsetting of canoes, the Toronto Star is of“ the opinion that astill greater. number result from the swampiug of row boats. In a recent issue it says 2; ' “The row boat is usually described as being ‘ perfectly safe.’ ‘. In the esti- mation of the public the canoe is a dan- gerous craft, and-the sail boat in un- skilled hands is liable to be upset by a gust of wind. But it is supposed that anybodyi'can manage a row'boat. It. is a cenifortable looking vessel, sits with a safe air in the water, and is easily moved along. One frequently hears it said , that it (is impossible to upset one .of these boats. unless the occupants coma r ..

In a book entitled “Government. by the People,” Mr. F. I. DuPont, the largest stockholder in the American powder trust. says: “ lt maan little ililfn‘cncc whether sla cry is allowed by law under that name. that is, wholhcr s-nne men are allowed to own Olllul' mm. or whether lll 'y are allowed to own absolutely the mitcrials of nature with which other men must labor. without which thcv cannot continue their life. 1! is slavery just the same whv-thr'r it is called by ol‘ier names or not. and is an enemv of public spirit. Under the present svs- lean moo donor. discuss public affairs wiih much interest; the reason is that lbov have little or no voice in them. A mm d vos not go out into his yard and dig up the ground for nothinz. but. if he can see in his mind’s eye beautiful flnrm-s growing from the seeds he ex- pools to plant, the digging will becomn a pleasure with which he will while arr-av his spare time. A Even so with public affairs. When men know that, no matter how much interested they are in public matters, these will be con- trolled by monopoly, they lose interest and feel that lherc is no use in ‘digging up the ground for nothing.’ ” ______.._â€"â€"â€"â€"-â€"-â€" An American paper says: “ Senator McCumber of North Da- kola, in the U. S. Senate recently, said lhat the elevators were swindliug the farmers out of millions by. false weigh- ing and grading their wheat. He cited that lhc elevator records of Duluth show- ed that lhev shipped out in the last ten roars 28.866000 bushels of wheat. more than thcv received l' They had stolen that much by false weights 1' One elm. valor at Superior showed a clear profit in one month of $20,000 by manipulat- ing the grade of the wheat it handled. 0, these respectable hvpocriles and thieves; these fleecers of the people; these vampires of modern capitalism, who live~in fine houses,» dress in fine clothes and sit in the first pews and hold the highest social positions. And the fool farmers keep on_voting the tickets that make these things possible 1 T" . W The Big Horse-Fly. By Wednesday’s mail Mr. F. A. Mc- Diarmid received from. Prof. Lochead,‘ of the Department of Agriculture, and kindly handed to us for publication, the following letter with reference to the mammoth horsefly noticed in.our issue lot the let inst. :; Guelph, Jnly 9.1904. F"; A» McDi-armid, Esq, EenelonFalls, Out. Dear Sir, Your letter ‘of inquiry regarding the horse fly to the Department of Agriculture has been referred to me. In reply I beg to state that the fly in question is the large horse tabunus (Tabanus atratus). It is often called gad fly or breeze fly. The flight of: this god fly is very rapid, and is accompan- ied by a buzzing sound which alarms the animal. Only the females attack animals;. the males live cumin-sap of flowers. These insects are most commonly found in the neighborhood of marshes, and our prairies and other numerous low and swampy places abound with them... Woods and: pastures are also frequently visited by them.._ This is accounted for by the fact that the' early . stages of this insect are passed 'below the ground in wet places, and .evsn in water. Their eggs are brown or black, spindle- shapcd, and are deposited in grounds by acqu’atic roots and stems of grass. When the sun is veryhot in summer these insects are most active. When numerous they are a perfect torment to the larger animals, which they often render wild and frantic. These horse files are by no means rare in Ontario, but fortunately not common, for. theywould soon render life unbearable if they occurred in large numbers. They are very rapid creatures, and even .the most. rapid of animals cannot escape them. They have a powerful proboscis and they use it very dexterously, and when they once in- sert it into the skin, they do not often with- draw it until satisfied with blood. ' V 1 Yours very truly, W...
