The following article recently pub- lished in the Montreal Family Her- ald is from the pen of Mr. John Campbell, of Fairview Farm, Wood: ville, the wellâ€"known breeder of Shropshire sheep : In years gone by the Ontario far- mer was a grain grower and a sellâ€" er of grains. The existing condi- tions rendered it a necessity, but unfortunately, in many. sections the system was too long continued and in consequence the fertility by de- grees disappeared, and unprontabâ€"le tilling of the soil resulted. How- ever, experienceâ€"hard V bought in" many casesâ€"has taught us the jolly of continuing the struggle, and very clearly does it appear to the in- terested observer that a very marked change of operations .in managing! the most successful farms has 3 been] made. More grain is grown, more: hay, many times the acreage oncom; and root crops get more and more: attention as the years roll by. But do we sell our productions as In bygone years“? Yes, but not in! the same unflnishéli auditions as in! former times. We are enmilo‘ymg1 inore And more largely'the machinzl ery of the animal body ti? convert the raw materials into more valu- able ‘prod‘ucte, thereby increasing our incomes at least one hundred per cent-x Waiting profits directly or indirectly. The bushel 01‘ oats worth thirty cents in the market, judiciously fed to the right kind of animal. will yield fifty cents. Fifty cents is offered {or barley. in the market. and often seventy-five cents ls the return for the same when fed to a good type of bacon hog._ Sevâ€" enty-cent peas, six-dollar clover hay and six-cent roots can be turned in- to properly bred and well finished market lambs, which will always give a largely increased value for the the feeds used, and at present the prospects are that the values of feed may be nearly doubled by the roming first of April. as was the case last April when fat ten months old lambs sold at seven dollars and a quarter live Weight in Toronto. And yet Ontario farmers failed to fully supply the demand.

We wonder how large â€" _._9.I-_ d-EA a. percentage of feeders consumer but! indirect benefit got from the so- called waste products of our anim- als. Are we not apt to think only of the greater cash returns that re- sult from the We. and spread-over labor required? And yet it is in the manure. voided, whenéreturned to the land in good Condition and at the right time, that the greater part of the profit is found. The an- imal system (aver-age of all ages) re- tains less than twenty per cent. of the nutriment in the foods eaten. Eighty per cent. or. four-films of the whole stays on the farm, increasing turns in crops for the .la-nor 'Uc- stowed.” Let us follow this thought a little further.

But when we turn to consider the fl06ks kept for common manket supplies, why a telescope would mot bring. them to view io many of our counties, and that in spite of the fact that no animal on. the farm has during the past ten years given so much clear profit, with so little labor. With lambs selling as at present, in lead- ing markets. at the highest price on reCord for the time ‘of year, . viz., eight , dollars per hundred, live weight, need we be surprised that not a ‘few are bemoaning their short-sightedness, and feel like givâ€" ing themselves a. tongue-thrashing, if not more than that.

Ina circular issued by Hon. Dr. Pyne, the Minister of Education, for distribution among the members ‘of school boards. teachers and educa- tionalists. information is givm re- garding the ameodments to the Pub- lic Schods Act passed last session. The document asserts that, accordâ€" ing to the reports of the majority of the Inspectors throughout the Pro-p Vince, the legislation is working out satisfactorily. Objections which have reached the Department are discussed in the circular, and expla- nations of the less generally under- stood sections oi the measure are given in detail. The Minister re 3iterates and speaks at some length ‘on the pledges of the Government to endeavor to increase the emc- ienCy of Ontario's schools and to augment the stipends of teachers and to improve their professional qualification. It intimates that furâ€" ther legislation maybe expected in that direction as "the Government does not take the ground that last session it did all it intends to do" in carrying out that policy. An answer to the statement that the eflort to raise salaries result- edin. disproportionate augmentation of the burdens of rural communities ascompared with urban municipanli- ties is found in the document which says 3 “The statistics showing the grades of teachers employed and the salar- ies paid in the urban and rural mu- nicipalities demonstrates the fact that it is rural municipaligies that need special and prompt legislation. Nor should the fact be overlooked that, while the Legislature has singled out the farmers for this special taxation, it has , also singled them out already for a special legis lative school grant of over $70,000. and has given all the sections a coun- ty grant and more of them a doubled township grant. Moreover, the Gov- ernment does not take the ground that last session it did all it intends to do incarrying out its pledge to make the Public schools its first and chiefest care. It is true, however, that some urban boards pay too small salaries, and that many are poorly equipped. It will, according- ,_ ‘_-:-I- ly, be necessary to propose legisla- tion on this subject when the Public School Act is consolidated." The Govmment’s plan for a com- plete and modern system of teacher training for the Pravinoe. is outlined in another section of the circular, which reads as follows : A AL- human upin them facultyo- u:- vâ€"â€" (or second class in the mum-filed - will ucatlon in 'Doronto 'vnvoralty . that a” GhII‘fillo‘l‘d mm (by life.
