A statement made to the gOVernment by Preston’s chief clerk who has been dismissed, set forth that the govern. ment had been paying two or three times the right price for the large amount of printing done in London. It came out that the work had been taken from the large printing firms which had formerly done. it, and giv- en to one Roy Somerville, son of the former Liberal member of parlia- ment, who was agent for a fashion zine and had not printing-office. Somerville called himself the "Arun- del” Company. Mr. Preston discov- ered him, and with former deputy minister Smart made the printing contract. How the thing worked out was shown by the examination conducted by Mr. Barker. One paY- ment otja little over $12,000 was divided into four checks, all drawn the same time in faVOr of “Arundel” and endorsed as follows: ' auu cuuu-uy‘. “n . One of £610 sterling and one o! a similar amount were endorsed to Somerville and apparently collected by him. One of £609 125 sterling. was en- dorsed by D. SomerVille, and after- wards by “ B. Karlsberg,” of Ham- burg, who cashed the cheque in a bank in his own city. Karlsberg, who got. this quarter of the money, is described by Preston as an inti- mate friend of his, but.

Jury further testified that he suspected this connection from the 'first because Preston was -so zealous in the inter- ests of the company. Preston went to the Continent to appoint the company's agents. It 'was he who arranged the terms of payment for the company’s officers in Norway.

He promptly replied in the amrnative when asked if he had not taken from the desk of Mr. Ennis, the Allan agent, certain letters of Preston to Ennis marked private and confiden- tial. He had found that Mr. Presâ€" ton, had been secretly working with Leopold in carrying on a business which was contrary to the law and policy of Canada, and was using his oflicial influence to assist in this ilâ€" legal business. These letters had no right to be private, and Mn. Jury rtold Ennis that they ought to be placed in the hands of the Premier of Canada. Mr. Ennis ‘thought so, and so allowed witness to see where he :put the letters, and then kindly turn- ‘ ed his back while Mr. J ury- took them jawav.

The little steamer Kestrel is a gov- ernment boat of 300 tons, which plies around the Pacific coast in the fisheries service. She carries a pret- ty large crew for her size and the Iwork she has to do. It numbers 22 officers. seamen and helpers. Some **‘*~A’ --â€"s ORA OIUUCLD. Ecumunn ....... __-, days ago Mr. Foster summed up the cost of provisioning this ship for ten months she was in commission. It is found (page 145, Auditor Gene- ral’s Report, 1905) that the food ‘sent on board of that ship in its raw :state, cost $7,500. It will be seen Ethat the food bill. comes to about $8 iper week for each man on the ship, which is probably more than the ini- tial cost of the fo'od supplied to the‘ inhabitants of the Waldorf Hotel. If a sailors’ boarding house had to pay a grocer and butcher bill of $8 a. week for its boarders, how much ‘ would the bill be for board, lodging gand attendance ? Twentyâ€"two men on the Kestrel were supplied with over a thousand dollars worth of pre- served fruit alone, which is something like one case for every day she was at sea. It cost between $400 find 4....- men1 PRESTON’S GOLD MINE. 6bserved that: he A ' d. ‘ x would at $73151: the foreman per day. while “'9.” DOMINION LAND SCANDAL." The discussion of the manageinent o! Dominion lands which has taken place in the last three days, has brought out some important facts. One is in respect to grazing leases. Under the ConServative gOVernment all leases of grazing lands might be cancelled on two years notice, so that the lands leased could be thrown open for settlement. No officer,had power to give a. permanent lease, or to make the térhm different to one person from what they were to an- n... a“; no. 9 An]: ' day, wnue WAn‘uLu'pvw .V- gig-nae the other day-mt his. pay was only $3. ’ ‘ , . , the government manpower to make regulations. In 1901 the law was again amended giving the minâ€" ister larger power. This law made it possible to issue irrevocable leases of grazing lands and conferred the additional privilege to the rancher of securing for $1 an acre a. freehold of 10 per cent of his lease. The graz- ing leases therefore give the holder 9. full possession of nine-tenths of his holding for twenty-one years, and the ownership at the price of $1 an acre of owtenth. In‘the spring of 1905 Mr. Silton resigned office and later in the year Mr. Oliver changed the policy, reins- ing to give any more irrevocable leases. In a few months before the change was made. eight of these ir- revocable leases ‘were granted. They obvered an area of 374,741.acres. all in one lease, had been taken for a number of years previously. A company supposed to contain prom- inent politicians got 55,747 acres ,on a 21 year lease on the first day of April, 1905. Another got 42,776 acres on the same day. A month later one concern got 13,794 acres. On the first day of July, 60,000 acres went to a company. and in the same day there was-another lease of 47,615 acres. and still another of 48,867 acres to the some concern, with one of 1280 to other parties. 0n the first day of August 60.381 WHO.

This land lies close to the” irrigated regions. and is likely to be worth from $10 to $20 an acre in a short time. A FORTUNATE BROTHER-IN-LAW Another singular discOVery was made. This concerns timber berths. Under the old law no grant of more than fifty square miles could begiv- en to oné person, except with the sanction of the gOVernor in council. and all renewals of lease were sub- ject to revision of rental.

He got one square mile in April, 3,360 acres in June, 12,800 in July.~ In November 11th. he got three limits of 17,280, 28,- 160 and 7,680 acres. The following January he obtained 9,600 acres and before the year was. outihe had two more leases of 82,000 each. Alto- gether Mr. Burrows has now obtainâ€" ed permanent control of 478} square miles or 805,920 acres all of which are understood to be worth twice as much as they would haVe been had not Mr. Burrows brother-in-law chan- ged the timber law. THE LAND DEBATE. Mr. Borden’s motion asking for a special committee of nine to investi- gate the whole administration of western lands and to make recom- mendations as to the reforms and amendments in the system was in- troduced in an able speech. Mr. Oliver’s reply did not appear to meet the case and on the day followg ing the host defence of the Govern-* ment land policy was made in a speech of three and a half hours by Mr. Sifton, the former Minister who has hardly been in the House this session. One died: of Mn. Sifton's adroit defence of his own methods and regulations which was applaudâ€" ed in Government benches was the efâ€" facement of Mr. SiIton's successor in ofiice. Another was the establish- ment or a direct issue between the former minister, who argued that his _ policy was right, and Mr. Oliver, , who has reversed some of these me- gulations though thepfeases remain. It is announced on behalf of the Government that the‘ investigation will be refused, but the debate has _ not been concluded. taken iifinediavtely bdore and ;his order was passed were giv- Mr. T. A.

'nle manner of hnndllng the turkey‘ hens and little poults , when thc1 poulta hatch and during the m1 days that immediately follow de-l pends considerably upon the canal-1 tione to which they one subject. 1 Sonic turlney breeders prefer to givei old and young free range and, throw them wholb’ upon their own re-1 sources. Other breeders give them‘ full liberty to go where they like, but feed the hon and brood regular- ly. Still others find it best to con- fine the poults. or thel hens. unti‘the young turkeys are well started. ‘ The owner of the flock that runs practically wild on a wide rouge and secures its food by foraging cannot do much to core for them if he would. for the tangles cannot adwnya be found dter they Indie their nests and ué sometimes too wild to be approached if found. Turkeys that ere kept fairly tame and persuaded to make nests near the farm building! can be controlled u... mun-Hm” even bundled without frightening them. i A good rule is to iet the turkey entirely alone at hatching time. butj under certain circumstances a little assistance they be given. Sometimes it is next to impossible to arrange the nest so that a poult that has dried oi! and become strong quicker than his fellows may not loll out and be unable to get back. If one is hatched a few hours earlier than his fellows, he is likely to aim) him- self in that predicament ii the run- ditions are as suggested. Once it gets outside the nest it sets up n plaintive cry. and the mother. in an endeavor 'to take care of a, frequent- ly neglects the nest and a. whole nestiul of newly hatched noults die lrom exposure. I! the nest can be fixed to prevent the young- getting out without the operation lrightening the sitter so that she will leave the nest. or hunk the eggs. such loss mm be prevented.

CARE 02" THE 1330011. The mtunl way for a. hen to do after the hatch is complete is to take her brood into the fields. or into the brush it there isiauy. Rare 7 -“2-- -â€"A she protects them from anemia feeds them with such animal vegetable food as she can find. young raised in that manner strong and balmy and when A... ‘45‘ atluua cun- aw-.â€" get well started they grow rapidly. But heavy runs and periods 0! damp weather sometimes causes hoary losses in broods so reared and vu- ious means are taken to prevent such loss by limiting the range for AssAA- -IOAI a longer or shorter tilne uter hatching. One method is to set up a fence (perhaps two feet high) of boards, or small med: wire. to in-‘ close an area. of two or three hund- red square feet, on a. dry spot where no water will stand during a. rain-- storm. This fence will confine the poults, but will permit the hen to leave them for a few minutes, if she desires to do so. During the cool weather 0! early spring the board fence will protect the early hatched brood against harsh winds better than wire; but later'in the season., when the sun beats hot. upon the IA when the sun ground, wire permits} a. {rel ground, wire is better because it permits a free circulation of air. These fences should be moved to’a fresh location as often as is neces- sary to keep the ground thoroughly clean. Poults thus confined are al- lowed their liberty when they are strong enough to get out of the enâ€" closure. . Another plan is to confine the tur- key hen in e. coop and allow the poults to run at large. The coop for this purpose should not be less than four feet long by three wide. and high enough to allow the hen to stretch to her iull height. Hens that; have not been accustomed to any kind of restraint seldom can be con- fined in a coop successfully. to fresh locations and _ be dusted with lioe-killing- powder ,once a. week to keep down the lice, which breed and increase rspidly. ’When the turkey is unable to take ‘a u .‘Avan â€" - _ When the turkey is unable to take a thorough dust bath.
