THE REVIEW. tion. 1 respect educatic Church The third convention of the Dairymen‘s Association of Ontario met at London on Thursday last. The attendance waslarge, there being prosent a number of gentlemen from the United States as well as a full representation from Ontario. It is quite evident from the proceedings that an inâ€" ereasing interest is being taken by farmers in the products of the dairy, and that more and more attention is given to improving the manufacture of butter and cheose. Coâ€" ‘ oporative cheese aud butter making estabâ€" lishments are now the order of the day, and the wonder is that Canadian farmers are so slow in taking advantage of this means of increasing very largely the profits ot the farm. It is a woellâ€"known fact that factory made butler brings from 75 to 100 por cont more in the market than the home made article does when sold at the stores, but in making butter on the farm the old and beaten path is most persist ently pursued to the injury of the Canadsgn‘ goodâ€"name for butter making and the loss to the country genevally of nillions of dollars. It may bé urged, and with a good deal of reason, that the factory system robs the farm of the skimmed milk which is undoubtedly a great loss, but inâ€" dependently of this and other disadvanâ€" tages, it has been shown beyond a doubt that the factory system is the only means eolumns rerereerroerrerrerrerevyrryyry by which the dairy products of the farm can be made profitable. . Morsover by hauling the skimmed milk and whey back 4o the farm the chiof digadvantage can be obviated, or still better in the case of creamâ€" cvies, by adopting the plan followed it Towa of sending the cream alone to the factries. The ercam is gathored once a day in hot weather, but generally onee every two days. This mothod is said to give groat satisfaction to all qarties conâ€" cerned, to reduce the cost to a minimum very much, and cortainly it removes the chicf objection to the creamry systemâ€"the loss to the farm of the skimmed milk. Great importance was given by the Rev, Mr. €lark who read m paper before the Association, to the grading of cows, urging that while milk obtained from some cows is so rich that twelve pounds of if will yield a pound of quttor, that from other cows is so poor that one pound of butterean searceâ€" ly be obtained from 44 pounds of milk, and went on to say that "the profits of dairying are made out of cows that give large yiclds of rich milk ; but there arge too many of the other class. It is no slander or libel to affirm that not more than 50 per cent., of the cows in the dairy herds of Ontario pay a profit to their owners. Cows that give a small quantity of poor milk are worse than useless for dairy purposes. ‘They not only yicld no profit themselves, but they eat a holo into the profits from the cows that do pay. Poor cows hurt the dairy business more than poor markets." As the bost means ot obtaining the desired results the speaker said:â€""Weed out the poor cows, use only thourough pred bul‘s of the best wmifking stratue, beeed from the ‘THE DALLYMEN‘3 ASSOCIATEON he cloth, wo mugt dissent from s dogma.

In the matter of feeding, Mr. Clark spoke at lengih of the advantages of enltivatingred clover, not only as & means of improving the quality of the soil on which it is grown, but also as being better todder for cattle than any meadow hay, when eat in the carly blossom and cured well without being dried up. He also maintained that red clover was superict to the Swedish turnips for feeding purposes from the faet that the turnip is shown by chemical analysis to consist of 90 per cent water and only 10 per cent solid matter. There is no question as to the correctness of the chemical analysis, but it should be remembercl that feeding cattle is a physiâ€" ologieal process, and that the building up of the animal frame does not depend so rauch on the quantity of food taken as upon its diges:ibility. "Now it is usually supâ€" posed, and experience justifies the supposiâ€" tion, that the solid matter in the turnip is minutely divided, is easy fof {digestion, is assimilated without loss, and therefore it is justly held in high estecm for fattenâ€" ing stock. _ + rcco.bdcd consisisted in housing cattle at all seasons, and cultivating such crops as would yield a continuous supply of green fodder from April to October. For this purpose he recommended an carly cut, reâ€" peated cuttings of the same plant in one year,a sufficient number of plants to secure enough feed, and a selection of those which were possesed of the most buttery and milky properties. To this end he advised the cultivation of lucerne, sainfoin, red clover, rye, tares and pats, prickly comfrey, millet, rape, corn, cabvage and kale, which when cut carly as to the period of growth, and cutgoften, wouldZyicld & continuous supply of green fodder from April te Ocâ€" tober. While admitting that the flush of milk was greater from rich pasture than dry feed, yet it rapidly failed as the pasture got dried up, and then was the time for soiling and feeding green crops. _ Experiâ€" ence had shown that bp soiling, twenty head of cattle could be fel where only seven could be kept on pasture. A very interesting paper on Soiling cattle was read by Prof. Brown of the Ag: vieultggal College, Guelph. _ ‘The method It appears that the Government of Onâ€" tario has decided not to ask for any apâ€" propriation to railways during the present session.

It is | w as follows ;4 5 o â€" "In case & sheriff levies any money npon | G an e®@cution against the estate of a debtor | 5 he shall forthwith post up in his office a|e ' that soch levy has been made, toâ€"|â€" gether with the amount thereof; and such | y money shall thereafter be distributed rateâ€" ably among all execution and other ereditâ€" ) t ors whose writs have been sent to the |r Sheriff within a month after the posting of | b such notice, except in the case of contested | a clairas, which are provided for elsewhere | ) in the Act. The distribution{of subsequent }4; levies is ordered to be done in a similar}|} manner. If a bailiff of a Division Court|} makes a levy upon an exccution against a | j .fidu’l Wy. he shall pay the proâ€" | a coods over to the clerk, who in turn shall pursue a course as to distribution similar to that incumbent on a sheriff. No crediâ€" tor shall be entitled to a share in the disâ€" ( tribution of money thus levied, tinless by * the delivery of a writ of cxecutioe or by having established his claim on the estate, * nlone or jointly with other persons. _ If a * debtor permits an execution issued against him, under which any of his goods or * chattels are seized by a sheriff, to remain unsatisfied in the sheriff‘s hands till|‘ within four days of the time fixed by the 3 Sheriff for the sale thereof, or for filtcen P days after such scizure, or allows an exceuâ€" |tion against his lands to remain unsatisfied l for nine months after it is pliced in the Sheriff‘s hands, an affidavit of the debt and ! the particulars thereof must be imade by | | the ereditor or his clerk. ‘This daclaration | must be served on the debtor, and a dupliâ€" ] | eate copy slhall be placed in the hands of | the County Court Clerk of the county, the 1 | Sheriff of which has exceution. _ If the| | elaim is not disputed within ten days, a| | cortificate to that effect must be given by \ | the County Court Clerk. If£ part of the| | claim is disputed, the creditor may clect, l | by a writing fyled with the Clork, to abanâ€" | : don such part, and obtain a certificate for | the residue. On this certificate the claimâ€" | ant shall be constituted an exceution creditâ€" | or,and shall be entitled to share with eredâ€" |itors who have in the Sheriff‘s hands exeâ€" ‘ | eutions against lands or goods whatever ‘ | money may be made under such executions. On receipt of the certificate, the Sherif{ is ‘ | bound to make a further levy. Provision ' ‘| is made for the dettor fying an affidavit| endorsed on it a statement of some place in, J ‘| or within three miles of, the county town ‘ . | of the county in which the proceedings are ! being taken, at which service may be made ‘| upon the debtor, or the address of some ‘ * | solicitor in the province who may be served ‘ | in the debtor‘s behalf, or the affidavit may ‘ | be served by mail in aregistered letter. If * | a ereditor disputes a claim, he must fyle an affidavit with the sheriff before distribuâ€" i ! tion is mafe." In case of contestation, unâ€" I less othorwise ordered by the judge, the | sheriff shall levy as if sueh contestation had f not tuken place, but he shall retain the sum | contested n bank till the dispute is settled, ‘ | which shall be as seon after the expiry of *\ a month as possible, and then he shall distribute the residue of the mioney nmongst those entitled. _ In questions in {| dispute, the judge may either order them to be tried summarily or by jury. lt is , | provided that a Divison Court judgment â€" | shall be as good memorandum of a claim as a writ of execution from the County â€" | Court. _A decision in reference to an exeâ€" , | cution on property of a debtor in one , |county shall be binding on property in other counties. Provision is also made , | that the Sheriff shall receive costs on the , | Superior Court seale in claims over $400, and on the County Court seale on claims > | exceeding $200 and not exceeding $400 ; or ;\ the amount paid to the Division Court bailiff on claims of $200 and under. e | Where there is no contest the sum‘of $5 is 1 | stipulated for fees of a solicitor «if employâ€" . | ed), unless the amount of the claim is withâ€" , | in the jurisdigtion of the Division, Court, in which case the sum of two dollars only is . | to be allowed to be granted. In case of a e |contest such additicnal costs are as the judge may allow. In case the Sheriff does not find sufficient property in the possesâ€" sion of the debtor to satisfy an execution, , he is entitled to obtain whatever goods may be in the hands of the Division Court , | bailiff belonging to the said debtor. When the amount levied is unsufficient to meet , | all claims, the sheriff‘s duty is to make out a list of the ereditors to share in the distriâ€" , | bution, and the amount going to each, ;1 wluch shall be mailed to the respective ereditors, or handed to their attorneys ; ‘ and if no objection is made in cight days, ‘ the sheriff shall proceed with the distribuâ€" ‘ tion. â€" Frivolous objections the sheriff need * | not take notice of ; but if a regular affadaâ€" vit ohjecting to the distribution is booked * | within the prescribed eight days, the judge a shall be called upon to adjudicate upon it. The decision of the judge in the County P | Court shall bind all creditors, unless it can be shown that it was obtainod by fraud or ,_| collusion by the parties to the contestation. * | Provision is further made that any person 6 dissatisfied with the decision of a judge in _ | sums greater than $100 may appeal to the ‘â€" | Court of Appeal. In the Act, which it will 8| be seen is very reasonable, it is announced : that the measure is "not intended to interâ€" fere with the insolvency laws wluch may t from time to time be in force in this Pr. * £ vince, but this Act is intended to be subject *\ to such iaws, and subject as aforesmd to apply to all debtors, whether solvent or 8 | not." .

L On the order being called for the motion to go into Committee of Supply, Mr. Mor» ris rose to a point of order, which was deâ€" bated for some time, and was disposed of adversely to him, the debate, as might have been expected from the length of the terval during which Mr. Creighton has had the floor, was as flat as anything could be, hardly a new idea being thrown out to justify its continuation. The debate was adjourned. * Toroxvo, Feb. 26. A considerable portion of the afternoon was taken up yesterday in the {Jiscussion of amendments proposed to be made to tho Game Bill on its third reading, which after some amend:ments being made, was passâ€" ONTARIO LEGISLATURE. The Bill to amend the Mumicipal Act was read the secend time. Tonroxto, Feb. 27. Among the Bills read a third time was the one respecting the debenture debt of the eity of Guelphâ€"Mr, Laidlaw., Several motions for returns wore made, and a number of bills passed tbrought Comâ€" mittee. + On reszming the débate on the motion to go into Committee of Supply. Mr. Deroche said he did not wish to rcâ€" open the discussion on the expenses re tLe Lieutenantâ€"Gove rnor‘s trip, and in the hope that the debate would not be continued further, ho would refrain from making any remarks on the subject. The amendment of Mr. Meredith was put and lost on a division. Yeas, 54; nays, 25. Several items in the Supplementary Estiâ€" mates were passed. Mr. Lauder withdrew a motion looking to the disqualification of members conâ€" tracting with the Government for the purâ€" chase of Crown lands or timber. Mr. Pardee declined to allow the motion to be withdrawn without an expression of opinion on so absurd a proposal, the more especially as it had emanated from a man who formerly voted against motions cor» demming the practice of members holding positions of emolument under the Crown. After a number of Bills had been advancâ€" ed a slage a division was taken without further debate on Dr. Widdifield‘s motion to reduce the item for the Licutenantâ€"Govâ€" ernor‘s trip by the amount of the Bill for "luxuwsies," which was carried by a majority of 55 to 25. Subsequently a motion of Mr. Meredith‘s condemning the expenditure was voted down by 53 to 27, and a motion by Mr. Ross declaring that in all future official trips liqnor bills should not be charged to the Province was carried by 52 to 25. The last two motions were voted on in concurrence, and they thorefore disâ€" pose finally of the matter, Toronto, 1st March. Aftor routine business had been disposed of, Mr. Bell moved that the House take into consideration the location of the Pacific Railway, but Mr. Pardee baving shown that this matter belonged entirely to the Dominion Parliament, the motion was withdrawn. Mr. Hay moved the second reading of the Bill to prevent Public School Inspectors taking an active part in politics, Afterâ€" wards the Bill was referred to a special Committce. "Mr. Pardee, in reference to the Railway aid, resolutions which appeared on the notice paper sard that he did not intend to proceed with the motion,but before he askâ€" ed the withdrawal of the motion to go into Committee on Railway Aid he desired to make a few remarks. The question of Government aid to railways was surroundâ€" ed with difficaltics, as hon. gentlicmen in the I{ouse well knew. The policy of the Government hitherto in this respect had been a most liberal one. Under that policy undoubtedly the material resources of the country had been developed beyond what the most sanguine ecould have expected. But the question had arisen in the country and House whether they were to continue that policy in the future as it had beer in the past,or whether thoy were to stay their hand in the belief that they had about as many railways, taking into consideration those built and under construction,together with such as are aided but not commenced, as the state of the country demanded. One way to answer the question was by conâ€" sidering whoether they had as much railway accommodation according to their necessity as other countries. He recollected a gentleâ€" man speaking on this subject a few years ago, and in his remarks he said that we had more railwhy accommodation mecordâ€" ing to our traffic than any other couniry in the world. We had in 1879 no Tess than 8,528 miles of railway in Ontario,more than half the total railway mileage of the whole Dominion. That bei case it was not to be wondered at ple of this country are consid r it would be wise to go as n e future as we have gone in the so far as the conâ€" struction of railways is concerned. The feeling of the country, so far as new railâ€" way schemes and projects was concerned at any rate, was undqubtedly conservative. It was felt that the moneys of the country, not only public, butalso municipal moneys, eould be expended to better advantage, exâ€" cept in exceptional cases where large tracts | of country were without railway facilities. | And in the latter case he did not mean that every man was entitled to have a railway within sight of lus own door, but he used the term in a general sense whore a railway was needed to open up any large portion of valuable territory. He frankly admitted that the Government did consider that there were certair railways to which it would be wise to grant aid during the prosent session. These railways hatd procured large muniâ€" cipal bonuses to enable them to grade the road. ‘The bonuses had not only beon proâ€" cured and handed over to the trustees, but had been realizod upon, and the money had been expended. The amount of these | bonuses footed up, in the aggregate, to no less a sum than half a million of money. Feeling for the position of the roads, but fecling more for the amunicipalities inter= ested, the Government thought they could not consistently refuse aid toward the comâ€" »letion of the roa 1s thas commenced. They Ll. having regard to the past policy of the . Having purcha in the Drug (/‘()4\]J ‘)Il‘ ('.1'»\:1‘ Mouse, that it might be said that the of the Province had been to some lit extent pledged to those muni which had votod these large sums, the eomps ueh had exponded Feeling ali t:is.the Government had j a mutice of resolutions upor the papor wwis object in view, but they foun peblicfocling was very strong against aid to railways in any shape at proso waus the duty of the Government t effect to public opinion, and they mot be true to themselves or to bue c it they did not do so. Finding ©epinion as expressed to be so, i«o> themselves unable to aid those rouds. ing come to this detormination in net to railways in course of constructi Government felt it to be their duty to municipalities and railway promoto moting new schemes and now roads they may be guided accordingly. 1 not pretend to say for a momeont th Legislature would not be asked toJ *aid to railways in the future. All say was that the public foocling was in the direction of withholding all railways ct present, and the Gover felt it to be their bounden duty i« effect to that fccling, WThey had d to have mo auilway pelcy this s and he asked to withdraw the »d resolutions.
