A dosputch from Ottawa sayszâ€"A statement, prepared by the Customs Department. for the four months of the iiscal year ending October 31 last. shows that. the aggregate trade at thu lmminiou increased by over $7,000,000. The imports for the four months were 336,961,478, an ixu'rm‘isru of 53,070,427 over the same time in 1900. The exports amount- ml to $81,280,999, a gain (if $3,- 566,868. The wonderful effectiveness of mod- ern rifles and artillery is the most striking lesson of the Boer war, in the opinion of Lieut.â€"Col. W. R. Liv- ermore. United States military at- tache at Copenhagen. The colonel is visiting London for the purpose of studying the South African cam- paign at the British headquarters, where he meets officers fresh from the scene of action. Speaking on Thursday night, I.ieut.-Col. Liver- lnoro staid :â€" “The experience gained in the Transvaal war has compelled ex- ports to acknowledge the truth of teachings that have always been learned and then disregarded. It, is callous that few men equally admit. that. two times two are four. Some always prefer to believe that. two and two make two and onc~tenth. or anything but four. The terrible IOSSI‘S of the American Civil War and the Franco-I’russaian War showed the necessity for changing close forma- tions and spreading troops over wid- er areas, yet, apparently similar con- cretc examples have been necessary to reoenforce the old lesson. It Is The Effectiveness of Modern The largest incrnasos tnuk place in October. For that month there were increases over the same time last year of $600,000 in the exports of cattle, $660,000 in the export of butter. $660,000 in the exports of chm-so. €100,000 in eggs, $2,000,000 in whr-at. 8274.000 in buy. and 81.- 500.000 in the exports of British Columbia salmon. The increase in tho. duty collected for the {our momma was over $500,000. "To-day quickâ€"firing guns kill ten times as many men at the same time as the [old weapons were capo able of doing. Frontal attacks are thus futile unless the defenders' line is stretched to a point where it is possible for the enemy to break through. Military men are no more apt pupils in life's school than civil- nuns." Aggregate Trade of Dominion for Four Months. AMERICANS BUYING LAND. Big Mining Plant in Missouri En- gulx‘ed in Cave-in. A despatch from Joplin, Mo. says: --In a cave-in at Orongo. near here, on Wednesday, the entire plant of the Aurora Mining Company. one of the great zinc producers in the dis- trict, Was swallowed up. No lives were lost. The plant comprised a hundred-ton mill, office building, and engine house. all of which were en- gulfed, together with six gravel cars and an immense tailing pile. 0n en- tering the ground a short time be- fore the cave-in occurred, workmen heard the timbers cracking, and sig- naled to be drawn up. The last man had reached the surface only a few minutes before the timbers collapsed, the earth yielded. and with a crash the whole plant sank into the abyss. Further caving is feared. and work in that vicinity has been suspended. It is impossible to estimate the dam- age. dividnals. ‘- A dospatch from Winnipeg says : ~â€" The C.P.i{.

A despatch from London says: â€" Mr. Brodrick. the British War Secre- tary, speaking on Wednesday night at a banquet given in London in his honor by the City Carlton Club, de- clared that the Boers were hiding their tracks by murdering Kaflirs be- hind them. “Lord Kitchener wired to-day," he continued, “that the cold-btooded murder of natives had become frequent of late, and that two dead natives. their hands tied behind their backs, were found No- vember 10 at the bottom of a mine shaft." Slaughter of Natives Becoming Mr. Brodrick said he was sorry anything had happened to affect the career of Sir Redvers Duller. and he assured the company that the deaf- ness of Sir Evelyn Wood was not a. bar to the work that, officer had to do as commander of an army corps. Later in his speech Mr. Brodrick said Great Britain now had 42,000 Boers in custody in the concentra- tion camps and on various islands, and that 11,000 more had been kill- ed or wounded, or had left the coun- try on parole. He added that he be- lieved the number of Doers now in the field was about 10,000. “The country has set its teeth and intends to go through the process of wearing down," he exclaimed. “We intend to provide Lord Kitchener with fresh troops to replace the tired ones. ()nly to-day a. certain colony made an ofi'er of help.” The War Secretary further an- nounced on the Duke of Connaught's authority the latter’s intention to go on active service when required, the Duke saying that wherever his army corps goes he will go. This disposes of the only published criti- cism of the Duke’s appointment, it having been supposed that he would not lge allowed to go on active ser- vice owing to his ncarness to the throne. Mr. Brodrick claimed that 14,700 square miles of the Transvaal and 17,000 square miles of the Orange River Colony were secure from the Doors by the blockhouse system. He instanced the increased security of the railways, which were cut 32 times in October. 1900, and not. once in October, 1901. Delegation Praises the Possibili- ties of the North-West.

The final estimates of the crops in Ontario this year, based on actual threshing results, are contained in the November crop report, issued by the Ontario Bureau of Industries. The results are a: iollows :â€" Fall wheat, 16,017,029 bushels, or 17.4 per acre; spring wheat, 5,498,751 bushels, or 15.4 per acre; barley, 16,761,076 bushels, or 26.3 per acre; oats, 78,334,490 bushels, or 32.5 per acre; rye, 2,547,313 bushels, or 16.1 per acre; peas, 10,089,173 bushels, or 16.7 per acre; buck- wheat, 1,757,071 bushels, or _19.9 Per acre; beans, 824,122 bushels, or 15.4 per acre ; potatoes, 18,116,- 637 bushels, or 118 per acre ; corn. for husking, in the ear, 24,838,105 bushels, or 77 per acre; corn for silo and fodder,- green, 2,359,514 tons, or 11.93 per acre; hay and clover, 4,632,317 tons, or 1.31 per wâ€"- _- The great majority of correspond- ents report that the supply of farm labor was inadequate to meet the demand. The reasons given are tem- porary or permanent departures {or Manitoba and the Northwest, the high wages paid in the lumbering in- dustry, and the migration to the cities and larger towns. Domestic help continues exceedingly scarce, the variety of other ceilings and employ- ments now open to women attract- ing girls away from the farm. acre. the crop was a good deal below the average. In the west the ravages of the Hessian fly did great injury, and much of the surviving grain was light in weight on account of the extreme heat and drouth of June and July. In some western localities the grain was spoiled by wet before it could be harvested. Reports from the eastern section, which is free from the Hessian fly, are somewhat more favorable. There was an al- most universal decrease in new fall wheat acreage, owing to the ravages of the Hessian fly. In order to se- cure the new crop against the pest. sowing has been deferred by farmers to a later period than usual. Little spring wheat was grown in the west- ern part of the Province, and the crop was light owing to, the same causes that injured other cereals. THE YIELD OF RYE was generally fair, though light in grain, while peas were a small yield, due to damage by dry weather and the pea bug. The season was a fav- orable one for corn. and the yield was large where sown. while the quality was generally good, both for husking and fodder purposes. Beans were a fairly good crop, buckwheat -0d ‘11:)» pyp aozxop ‘ouo eBmaAe m3 tatoes were light in the east, but turned out better in the west. 'l‘o- bacco growing appears to be on the decline. Favorable reports are received re- garding sugar beets. In only a few localities are sugar beets produced, but if the results continue to be as favorable as those of the present sea- son they are certain to be more extensively sown. The output has been good as regards both bulk and quality in almost every case. Tur- nips, carrots and mangels have all turned out well. Dry weather has in- terfered with fall ploughing, more es- pecially in the Lake Erie counties. Fruit trees are generally in good condition, but the season was a poor one for fruit, especially apples. Many correspondents note a plentiful sup- ply of plums and pears and peaches. Cherries and small fruits did fairly well in many places, though the guality was very variable. The re- ports emphasize TIIIS NEED OF SPRAYING. The season was a. good one for dairying. , Creamery plants have been put into a number of cheese factories cheese being made from May to Oc- tober, and butter during the winter months. Prices as a rule have been satisfactory. Reports as to the barley crop are very variable. It suffered somewhat from the Hessian fly and to a great- er extent from the drouth which re- sulted in premature ripening render- ing the grain light and the straw short. There is considerable differ- ence in sample. The crop will be a good deal under the average. Oats were also below the average. but did better in the Lake Erie and East Midland districts than elsewhere. Threshing has been carried on ac- tively. Peas Were marketed early, and a large quantity of oats has been disposed of, but wheat has not been moving very lively, and much of the barley is now fed on the. farm. The average yield of honey will be about fifty pounds per colony. Bees will go into winter quarters with n fair amount of stores, and as prices have been good owing to the scarci- ty of fruit, the season of 1901 may be regarded as having been a. good average one {or the npinry.

A dcspatch from Ottawa says :â€" Andrew Marshall. a well-to-do tar- mer, who resides two and a half miles trcm Ramsay's Corners. in Gloucester Township. was shot through the neck on Thursday morn- ing by an assailant at present un- known, but whose identity is susâ€" pected. Mr. Marshall is 57 years of age. and is of quiet disposition. He has no children, but his wife is liv- ing. The story of the shooting is gathered from the story as told by the victim :â€" Gloucestér Townshig flan Shot Thursday morning about three o’clock Marshall was awakened by a loud knocking at. his door. He went doWnstaus, and ' on opening the door. thrust. his head out. to see who was knocking. He asked. “What. do you want. ?" ‘he answer came. “Your money or your life."

Marshall fell backwards. and was assisted to a sofa by his wife. Marshall asserts that. he recognized the voice of his assailant. Proposal to Abolish Disease Dur- ' ing Campaigns. A despatch from London says :â€" Exclusive drinking of boiled water in time of war and the sanitary educa- tion of soldiers in time of peace will, according to Dr. Leigh Canney. abolish typhoid, dysentery, and chol- era in future campaigns. The King's physician, Sir William Henry Broad- bent, presided at a meeting of the Royal United Institution on Wednes- day afternoon, when Dr. Canney un- folded his preventative plans. Dr. Canney has invented a cylin- drical copper boiler, holding fifty pints. heated by petroleum, for boil‘ ing and cooling water in seventeen minutes, consuming three-quarters of a pint of petroleum. The weight of the apparatus is thirtyâ€"eight pounds. The doctor proposes the formation of a trained water corps. for the exclu- sive service of furnishing the troops with approved water. He urges as a second essential the instruction of soldiers in time of peace as to the dangers of polluted water, for the purpose of establishing the tra- dition that it is dishonorable and Criminal to drink unapproved water. Discussing the South African situa- tion, Dr. Canney said :â€" “The debates in Parliament reveal a total disregard of the scientific work done during the last twenty- flvo years. 1‘. commission has been sent to Cape Colony to enquire it 'our men are comfortable with their typhoid ; as if the object of war, from a. medical standpoint. were only to see how many thousands could be comfortably treated. Al- though typhoid and cholera are 1m.L ,ventable during war by various meâ€" thods known to medial! science, the number 0! soldiers invalided home with these diseases has been six timeq greater than the number suffering from wounds. 8 “The real. obstacle to the success of Dr. Canncy's plan is the hopeless- ness of attempting to induce thirsty soldiers to examine water before drinking and to reject it if it is bad. By the time such an educational feat has been accomplished the nations will no longer practise war." Dr. Conan Doyle. the well-known author, who accompanied the British troops. through the greater part. of the South African campaign. in his medical capacity, saia’ :â€" “Without preventive steps typhoid is practically certain to be epidemic in the course of every war. produc- ing; disaster and frequently actually destroying the conquering army."
