A few words on the books that every farmer should have. Every farmer should have a few hooks treating on the business in which he is engaged. Every profession has its professional library. but in very many cases the farmer has not a blessed hook. This is much to be regretted. and we are great losers there. by. I earnestly recommend that you buy one book treating on some branch of Agriculture each year. Thisis not. an extravagant request.

Mr Bourassa's criticism of tie. Government's policy in connection with South Alrican affairs. that it was an ttuconstitutiotval and dangerous innovation, and his plea " an absolute recognition of the rights of Parliament, wl-re all very well in the abstract. but as the Premier pointed out his amendment was inopportaue and witlioutraison diewe. It may be readily conceded that Mr. Bourassa made out the best possible case that could be presented in support of his contentions. But the fact that his moderate and well delivered speech though attentively listened to signally failed to carry conviction or even to secure sympathetic, recognition, is the most conclusive evidence of the cor- rectness ofthe Premier's criticism.

The spirit which glam through it and the thoughts which underlie it are pregnant with great issues for England and mankind.

Here is another editorial comment from a leading British jour- nal which will be pretty generally admitted to be equally accurate and just, though possibly not as tuttering to the subject thereof. The St. James Budget (London.
