here." At the Convention of the Canadian Press Awociation last week, Mr. G. C. Creelman, superintendent of Far- mer’s Institutes, read a paper on : “Wiggt the Press can do for the Agâ€" ricultural Interests.” He said in part : “We have 175,000 farmers in Ontario. with an invested capital of ten hundred millions of dollars. 1110 product of our farms is valued at two hundred and fifty millions of-dolâ€" lars a, year. The diflerenee 'between the possible and the average crop is atleast 50percent. Ifthis dis- tance were bridged, there would be from the farms 'aJone, an increase in Mr. Geo, Taylorâ€"“There is plenty of treating in England, but it is a. very common thing for men to drink alone. People are far more exclusive than here. You might be riding in a. railway compartment with only one other passenger ; he would drink from his flask and never think of asking you to join him. Standing: at a oar you might ask 373nm standing beside you to join you and he would often say ‘Pardon me. - I don’t know you.’ Then commonly, two friends, either two gentlemen or a lady and gentlemen, go in to drink and when one offers to pay for bath the other replie": ‘No, I’m on my own.’ That is a. very common ex- pression. There is no treating sys- tcm there, to which you are required by etiquette to conform, as‘ there is Mr, Lewis Pymâ€""Men do not go about in big“ groups a nd treat each other in Englanl as they do here. If you meet a‘iriend you may ask him to drink and he will return the Compliment but, that ends it. Men frequently go in together to drink and each buys his own drink. When I first came to Canada I went into a hotel at Port P ‘rry to have. a glass of beer. In the bar was a man I knew. I asked him to drink with me. There were four or five stranger's there and they stepped up and ordered something at the same time. I noticed them saying to me ‘Here is your health’ and I said ‘Thank you’; but when I went to pay for my friend’s and my own drink the bartender t00k pay for the others as well. I asked him how that was. He said ‘Oh, its the custom in Canada.’ I told him it was a. cus- tom I didn’t like, for I had never been used to it. But men drink in England till thev get very drunk al- though each buys his own liquor.’ Mr. Geo Milne-’â€" England is a big place and of course there are all sorts of drinking customs among different classes of people, but the treating system is not at, all gcneral there. Men treat each other occasionally, iti is true, but it is not at all ex- pected that the person treated shall t: am right about and buy another drink. It is a very proper thing to drink alone there, or to drink with 3our friends and pay for your own liquor. The worst results of drink are to be found in Ergland. People who do not treat carry liquor to their homes-spend all their money for itâ€" and drink for 'days at a. time. A great deal of gin is used. We have no idea here of the condition to which multitudes in the cities 0! England are reduced by drink."_ temperance agitation and of the pre- vailing opinion that the treatingmys: tem is responsible for most of the evils of the liquor trams in Canada, the following statamnts about treating in England may be of in- terest. It will be noticed that they: "bear out. the statement made editorâ€", ially in these columns recently that without the treating system, England; sun‘ers from the worst mults of strong drink â€"- u “-C _,- T If-.-" er musical instruments. People gather in there and listen or take part in the program. Plenty of liquor is served and men buy for each other or drink separately as they like. A great deal oz liquor is carried hem and drunk. I have seen 200 people with all sorts of vessels Waiting outside of a. public house for a chance to go in and get their supply to take home.” were often paid at the public house, and while waning for their employ- er to come they Would sit around a. table and drink beer that each in turn bought by the quart and serv- ed out, to his fellows. The‘ hotelmq; often set up the drinks and when the the. men got their pay a good deal of it. was sometimes spent before the public house was lelt. Still a. great deal of the drinking is done by each man buying his cum diquor. We used to get half a pint' of ale for a. pénny if we drank it at the bar or three cents if we sat. down in a room." nav- v..° __ -__ , Mr. Warren Worsleyâ€"When I lived; in England it was a. good deal com-I moner thing for men to go in and drink alone, than it. is here ; but.’ there was a good deal of treating done.

Mr. Creelman closed by saying : “Our agricultural interests can no longer be ignored. Our farmers are not producing one-half the crop they might be made to. Our butter is not all good butter} our beef is not all good beef, and ourpork is, not all breakfast bacon." Discussing Mr. Creelman's’ gamer.
