Bakâ€" er Eddy, head of the Christian Science Church which she founded, has made public her lack of sympathy with the most powerful and prominent lieutenant of her faith, Mrs. Stetson, of New York. The latter is at the head of the rich First Scientist Church of New York, and is the woman whose chief ambition is believed to be that she may succeed the aged founder of the sect.as the acâ€" tual head of the Christian Scientists of the world when Mrs. Eddy dies, which event Mrs. Stetson believes not far off, according to the report. Objects to Exclusiveness of Certain New York Science Charch. The feeling between the First Church and the advisors and personal associates of Mrs. Eddy has been growing for some time and reached a climax recently when the New York Church and Mrs. Stetson planned to erect a magnificent new church building in an exclusive section of the metropolis. The new edifice was to be an architectural dream, richly furâ€" nished and expensive. From Mrs. Eddy, through hor usual spokesman, came a strong protest against the expensive new church, but in spite of her wish the New York congregation proceeded calmly with its plans. Land was purchased and archiâ€" tects employed. At the present moment the plans are said to be in the air. In his veto message Governor | Patâ€" terson charged that such legislation was against the Demecratie platform _ and the doctrine of sare goverament; that it set aside the recorded will of the people; that experience had taught that no arbitrary prohibition law was ever obeyed; that _ its enactment brought no settlement of the question; that it destroyed property, reduced State revâ€" enues, increased taxation, took . money from the people to send it elsewhere, fomented discord, impaired the dignity of the Commonwealth, fostered hypoeâ€" risy, and invited evasion and deceit. Mrs. !".’ddy departs from her usual cusâ€" tom and speaks in a signed statement to the New York church. Its members are scolded for their worldly habits and for the exclusive court they are said to have established with Mrs. Stetson _ as its centre. Their ways are declared to be in sharp contrast to the spirit and teachâ€" ings of the sect and to the ideas of Mrs. Eddy. The statement contains a warning that unless there is a radical change in the ways and attitude _ of the First Church it will be cut off from all conâ€" nel«-tion with the sect and cast out of the fold. Fisheries Treaty Now in Newfoundâ€" London, Jan. 25.â€"It is understood that the whole question of the fishâ€" eries treaty now rests with Newfoundâ€" land. Canada has gone into the quesâ€" tion of arbitration in deference to the wishes of Newfoundland, and it is reâ€" garded as certain‘) here that Canada‘s assent depends upon the acceptance by Newfoundland of the proposed terms. Newfoundland‘s chief objection sare that she considers _ any pecuniary â€" claims with respect to fines infliceed on Amerâ€" ican vessels for breach of the colonial regulations should be decided by the colonial courts after the main arbitraâ€" tion, and should not themselves be subâ€" bitted to arbitration. L 5 The United States desires that the maiter shall be included in a pecuniary claims treaty, which is now being negoâ€" tiated. _ Newfoundland also holds that Americans have no right to fish in inlets on the west coast of Newfoundland, and wants this declared in the treaty. So far, although the British Government has pressed for the inclusion of this in the treaty, the United States Governâ€" ment has not agreed to the proposed course.

THE WINTER HOUS ING |OF SWINE. The figures have been compiled from actual shipments. ‘They represent the entire production of the lllinois River from Henry to Grafton and include the shipments from every recognized fish market along the barks. Carp and bufâ€" falo weighing from three to twentyâ€"five pounds make up this tremendous amount with the carp constituting fully twoâ€" thirds of the shipments.â€"Peoria Corresâ€" pondence Minneapolis Journal. It is at thisseason of the year that the housing of swine becomes a more or less difficult problem. This is more putiahrl]tminngouloomhm ing of sows due to farrow in the spring. It is o‘chnfl' y on the houius th.fi:. the vigor of spring litters depends. The reâ€" vised edition of Bulletin No. 10 of the Live Stock Branch, Ottawa, treats this question in a very practical manner. It says : **Much of the success of hogâ€"raising deâ€" pends upon suitable housing. Suitable housing does not, however, demand exâ€" pensively built houses and pens designed With the advent of cold weather the height* of the fishinf season of 1908â€"00 kas passed on the Illinois River and over 9,000,000 pounds, ‘or to be exact, 4,â€" 650 tons of fresh water fish have been ecntributed to th»> markets of the Unitâ€" ed States in the fifteen weeks _ since September 1st. so as to provide summer temperature during the winter season. In an ambiâ€" tious desire to treat swine with due conâ€" gideration for their comfort many proâ€" gressive hog raisers have, during the past few years, pnoticalli:uud large sums of money in building elaborate warm houses for their herds. Having wintered their stock of all ages and conâ€" ditions in these structures for one or two seasons, the mistake they had made Lecame apparent by reason of the fact that the swine instead of showing greaâ€" ter vigor, exhibited signs of illâ€"health in the form of coughing, lameness, scurfiâ€" ness of skin and other evidences of lack of thrift. The chief difficulty from these close houses is due to the lack of exercise taken by the swine kept in them. After rising from their comfortâ€" able beds to take their food, which is usually provided regularly, near at hand and in palatable condition, the pigs fill themscelves and again return to their resting places. This mode of living folâ€" lowed for weeks and months at a seaâ€" During the coming spring the college will send similar cultures for alfalfa, red, white and alsike clover, peas, beans, and sweet peas, the only cost to the farmer being a nominal charge of 25 cents for each culture sufficient for €0 pounds or less of seed. The cultures, of which there is but one size, are sent in glass bottles with full directions for their use. Applications should be adâ€" dressed to the Bacteriolozieal Laboraâ€" tory, 0. A. C., Guelph, and should be sent at once so that ample provision may be made by the college to supply all demands. The kind and amount of seed to be inoculated and approximate date of seeding should also be stated in the application. son of year when outdoor life is uninvitâ€" ing, even should the pen door be left open, is attended with indigestion, conâ€" stipation and other forms of sluggishâ€" ness, causing weak litters, lack of a good milk flow in dams, stunted weanâ€" lings and slow gains in older hogs. Exâ€" ercise is one essential for swine of all agcs if hog raising is to be made a sucâ€" cess, and it is in not providing this that the warm pen used for both sleeping and feeding fails. For young litters comâ€" ing in cold weather a warm pen is neâ€" cessary, and rather close quarters are also conducive to the most profitable gains during a hog‘s final fattening perâ€" iod, but at no other time in a hog‘s life is close housing advantageous. ‘‘For brood sows due to farrow in the late winter or early spring months there is no better shelter than the moveable cabin. A number of these can be ranged side by side in or near the barn yard. If kept comfortably bedded four or five large sows will lic very comfortably in a cabin constructed according to direcâ€" tions given further on. The old style of rail creep beneath a straw stack, so long as it is closed on three sides, affords a fine bed for breeding _ sows or even growing pigs. n some of the most exâ€" tensive hog brecding establishments the only shelter given the sows in winter is an old barn or shed, lined up to keep the draughts out, and having a conâ€" stantly open door which affords free and unlimited access to the open air. . The feeding is done in the open, which comâ€" pels the herd to take a good amount of daily exercise, upon which good health so much depends. Sows thus housed and fed on food composed of pulped roots and chopped grain, bran, etc., given in a rather dry consistency, will maintain a fine condition for succeseful motherâ€" The Ontario Agricultural College has in press a bulletin from the bacterioâ€" logical laboratory giving the results of work on the inoculation of seed with bacteria to increase the chances of the crop. This work bBas been in progress since 1905, and has Increased in amount each year, It has been known for many years that the nodules or subercles on the roots of alfalfa, clovers, peas, beans, etc., are inhabited by bacteria that have the power of taking nitrogen from the vast amount in the atmosphere, and storing up this valuable fertilizing eleâ€" ment in the plants, thus enriching the soil when these plants are plowed under. In the college laboratory these bacteria are cultivated under artificial conditions, their full power of nitrogen accumulaâ€" tion being conserved, and these cultures, as they are called, may be applied to the seed to be sown. An old established fields where clovers or alfalfa have been previously grown, the soil is well supâ€" plied with these desirable bacteria, and the use of artificial inoculation would be of little benefit. _ On new ground, however, or where the crop to be sown has not been successfully grown before, the inoculation of the seed usually helps to secure a better stand. During 1908 over 2,100 of these cultures were sent to farmers all over the Dominion, and to five foreign countries. The results are reported by the farmers, and compiled in the forthcoming bulletin showed that the inoculation of the seed was benefiâ€" cial in 63 per cent. of cases tried. Many farmers tried the cultures on old estabâ€" lished fields, and as was to be expected the results here showed no increase in the crop from using the cultures, The bulletin then goes on to describe in detail the plan, construction and manâ€" agement of various styles of houses that are in successful operation in different parts of Canada.

A Toronto despatch: For the punislâ€" ment of offenders against the game laws the International Game and Fih Protective Association, the annual conâ€" vention of which opened at the City Hall yesterday, recommended coâ€"oneration hbeâ€" tween the Governments of States of the Union and those of the Canadian Proâ€" vinces. Such offenders are not subject to the extradition laws. It was, thereâ€" fore, recommended that when an offence is committed and the offender escapes beyond the surisdiction of the courts his name should »e sent to all game deâ€" partments, and no liccuse issued to him until his offence had been expiated. Anâ€" other important decision was the adopâ€" tion of the principle that Indians should be made amenable to game ln‘\‘wa. * The association expressed its ap proval of the sportsman‘s platform _ a> framed by Dr. W.

MHon. Dr. Reaume said that . thore was a point involved as to what was the extent of the Indian‘s privileges There were in existence treatios Lc tween the Indians and the Govinâ€" ment under which they wore allowed to fish and hunt on their preserves. The association endorsed the clause, together with the rest of the _ platâ€" form. Hr. Kelly Evans reintroduced the resolution â€" which â€" was rejected at Alâ€" bany last year, expressing the und: sirability of alienating large areas oi wilde lands to establish private game preserves The convention is held alternately in Canada and the Urited States, and the present gathering is the eighth an nual meeting of delegates representing Ontario and Quebec and the contiguous States across the line. A Provincial welcome was extenaod to the delegates by his Momnor _ the Licut.â€"Governor, â€" the Mon,. J. M. Gibâ€" gon. His Honor, in the course of his address, said that the abolition â€" of spring shooting was the great step to wards the prevention of the ruthloss slaughter of ducks. The Mon. C. R. Deviin, Minister of Colonization, â€" Mines and Fisheries fo Quebec, eaplained the protective measâ€" ures which had been adopted in Queâ€" bec, mainly as a result of the efforts of the Hon. 8. N.

Year by year the revenue from _ hunting â€" licenses . was increasing, and therefore, from . that point of view, the keeping down of the wolves was important. The Hon. Dr. Reaume pointed out that the Ontario _ Government â€" had paid "in one bunch" $6,000 in bounts for wolves. It would not be justifiable on the part of the Province to _ inâ€" crease the bounty from $#15 to, say, $25, unless _ Minnesota coâ€"operated. _ NMr. W. A. Preston, M. P.
