WHICH?

THovsanDs of votes were, at the general election, given to the Liberals in the belief that if the Conservative Government were put out, a reign of departmental extrava- gance would cease and the rule of econo- my be established. The most independent men in this country supported the Liberal candidate upon this ground. It was ad- mitted that the country bad been wonder- fully developed under Sir John Macdonald and his successors. It was admitted that the N.P. had, upon the whole, worked well and notill for Canada. It was admitted that the Manitoba School Question was a special issue which cught not to have been forced upon the electors. But it was sup- posed that the ministers had an array of friends in office and that the money of the country was wasted upon them. For that reason, mor? than any other, our substantial farmers and men of business, who were not wedded to party, declared at the last election in favor of the Liberals, Let us, by a comparison of the expenditure of some of the Departments at Ottawa, see with what results: 1897.—Department of printing

and stationary............ $ 2,726 1897.—The same department.... 5,000

1896.—Department of Interior. ... $17,086 1897.—The same department ...° 1#,395

1896.—Care of departmental buildings........... opocepses OO gate

1897.—The same department...... 28,000

Upon a review of these figures, which we clip from # contemporary, it must be concluded either that the charges of gross extravagance preferred by the Liberals against the Conservatives were false, or that the Liberals, out-Heroding Herod, are more extravagant than those whore condemnation they secured on the ground

of gross extravagance; eee 6

BUTTER!

A GENTLEMAN in the trade who recently returned from a yisit to the markets of Great Britain declares that Canadian butter must go forward in its very best condition if it ig to be sold at a profit in competition with the butter of Denmark, Ireland, France and other countries, He says that there is no need te fear the competition of Australia, except on butter of second quality, Canada in the past year shipped finer butter than anything that came from Australia. Canadian butter is also given preference over butter from the States, because it is fresher and com- plies more with the requirements. Light straw eolor and light salting are called for, though some mar- kets take more color than others. As to packages, the square box is, he says, the more economical and has many friends, but the quality of the butter ie more than

the package. He points to the fact that~

Denmark ships to Englend annually $28,000,000 worth of butter out of a total importation of $65,000,000, and deciares that the essentials to a successful trade are regular weekly shipments of fresh butter ef uniform good quality.

—Iu connection with the spring hatch— ing of medical men in our colieges, a correspdndent to one of the papers has the following: “McGill sent forth the other day .eventy-five fine young fellows armed with the degree ofM.

Only a smail pro- portion of the whole can bope to make a living in Canada. The ranks of the medi- cal profession are overcrowded. We furnish the best education at a cheap rate; we turn out clever young fellows, trained in the latest scientific methods of healing, and, having done so, we lose them. The majority of them go to the United States, where Canadian pbysicians, and particularly McGill men, are warmly welcomed for the reason that doctors are made there by @ pateat process which guarantees rapidity at«the expense of! efficiency... “This serious evil remains to. be remedied—different licenses are required _ for Empire. We have not even attained to. interproyincial reciprocity, although the examinations required in any province eutside Quebec are mere formalties, but there must be fresh studies, there must be additional examinations in Great Britain itself before a Canadian physician can p atcethere. © This snould be remied es speedily as possible.

CHEMICAL FERTILIZERS.

Sin,—Many of our good farmers are enquiring about chemical fertilizers, their cost, and their value as crop producers. Doubtless you will welcome a few thonghis on this sutject. The following questions, among Others, bave been asked recently by some of our progressive farmers : —

Will chemical fe: tilizers du wel! on our coii? Yes, if ettable manure will. In chemica! fertilizers the same elements of pant food are found asin *mapure. The Agricultural Chemi-t tels us this, Am- wonia, Phosphoric Acid a:d Potash are the same whether found ij nYanure or chemical fert ] zers, aud there elements avy crop must heveto make a perfect growth. A well-balavced fertilizer sup- ples these in the proper properiions and io available forms.

Will ehemical fertil'z ra ran ent the | land? No, nct if more plant food is prt into the soil in the fertilizer than is re-

moved in the crop, but will rather enrich the land and bring it into w state of profit- abie crop production. This applies only to complete fertilizers. An incomplete fertilizer will sooner or later exhaust the plaot food in the soil, which it does not supply, and then the land is run ont, that is, the plant food that was stored in the soil is used up, and therefore no crop can be grown successfully until the deficient elements are supplied. It 1s best, there- fore, touse complete and well-balanced ferulizere, amd those of high grade, for these give the buyer more for bis money than do the lower grades, and these give a satisfactory crop.

What anount should te used to the acre? What amorvnt of manure ilo far- mers use? Sone more, some less: Some believe in extensive farming, in getting a large crop trom asmal] acreage. Others favor moderate manuring, and are sati-fied with a medium crop. The same is true among users of fertilizers. A good rule to remember is this: One hundred pounds of high grade fertilizer contains as much plant food as one cord of good manure. A cord is about three one-horse loads. If a farmer uses 10 or 12 cords ef manure to the acre for a succession of crops, then ten or twelve hundred pounds to the acre of a high grade fertilizer should be used on similar soil. The fertilizer should he high grade not merely in name but in its com position.

What constitutes such a fertilizer ?_. It will contain at least 14 per cent. of ame monia, more than 7 percent. of soluble phosphoric acid, and at least 2 per cent, of yotash. A fertilizer falling below these

The newest thing proposed in Great Britain is a royal commission to enquire into the working of the Irish Lasad Com- missioner. This looks like a good idea for governments with more friends than jobs. How would it do for Mr. Lanrier to employ some of his spare patmots en- quiring whether the smelling commi: sions do their work properly.

Hon. Dr. Montague was :e:ent'» inter- viewed at Vavcouver by a Montreal Star reporter regarding the mining situation and pr sects of his numerous holdings in British Columbia. Incidentally Dr. Mon- tague refer:el to the Communications that Sir H. G.

A. Dowler, who is the city clerk of Victoria. Dr. Montague said that every man of prominence in Canada was constantly in receipt of such communications, which were invariably not taken any notice of, and that Sir H. G. Joly de Lotbiniere was the firat to utilize such letters asa peg to hang high virtues on that the world might look at them.
