Winter in the country without snow. is like a summer without a. rose. Snow is Winter's speciality, its crowing glory. its last exquisite grac e. Snow comes naturally in Winter. as foliage comes in sum- mer; but although one many have been familiar with it for fifty sod- sons, it. always takes one with a certain pleased surprise and a sense of strangeness. I do not care much for snow in town; but in the country it is ever a marvel: it wipes out all boundary lines and distinctions be- tween fields; it clothes the skele- tons of trees with a pure wonder; through the strangely transfigurgd landscape the streams run black as ink and without a sound; and over all. the cold blue frosty heaven smiles asifln very pleaswe atits work. 0n such a day. how windlcss and com- nosed the atmosphere. how bright the frosty sunlight, from what a distance comes a shout, or the rusty caw of the rook! ‘Earth hath not any single sight to shcw more fair,‘

I-fow innocent in appearance the new-fallen snow, the surface of which a descending leaf would dimple. almost; and yet there is nothing fiercer, deadlier, crueller, more treacherous. On wild uplands and moors it covers mods and landmarks, and makes the wander- er travel hopeless miles till the falls down exhausted; it sleeps his senses in a pleasing stupor. till ‘he fancies he sees the light of his_far- rOff dwelling. and hears the voices of his children, who will be orphans before the morn: it smitns him on the mouth and face as he dies. and then covers him up, softly as with kisses, tenderly as with elder-down. like a sleek-white murderer as it is. In alliance with the demon of wind, it will drift and spin along the mountainsides. and in a couple oi hours a- hundred sheep and their shepherd are smothered in a carry of the Cheviots. Welded by cen- tnries into an avalanche. it slides down from its dizzy hold, and falls on an Alpine village, crushing it to powder.

A snow-flake is weak in itself, but in multitudes it is cmnipotent. These terrible crystals have stayed the marches of conquerors and broken the strength of empires. The irlnumerous flakes ﬂying forth on the Russian wind are deadlier than bullets; they bit more bitterly than Cossack lances.

banner an icy sheet, stilling the drum that beats the charge, O weary soldiers of the Empire. eyes that saw the sun of Austerlitz. hearts that loce Napoleon-to this battle with Winter, Lodl and Arcola were holiday parades!

At home Winter is a terrible des- pot; but like the wild Goths which he nurtured, he becomes more civi- lized as he travels south. Like a travelled man of the world, he adapts himself to the countries in which he sojourns. Ice, which is misery at Labrador, is luxury at Naples. In our country we know Winter only in his mild and fanci- iul moods. In England he is artist and adorner. He brightens the bloom on the cheeks of girls, he‘ breathes the quaintest forests on our bedroom windows; he beards cot- tage eaves with icicles; he makes the lake a floor on which the skate-l‘ may disport himself; he fires the south-west. with sober sunsets; he gives the star and planet a metallic lustre. But. with all these pleasant qualities and obliging graces, he wears here, as at home. the old heart. Have you not seen him in your own streets pinch cruelly a poor child scantily clad? Do we not know how he maltrcats the desolate widow and the unemployed artlzan? Do we not hear of him in savage mood killing outright some home- less wrctch whocm he had discover- ed asleep on stairs or in deserted cellars? Here, as I have said, he is partly civilized, but at home he is a despot: there he piles the iceberg that sails southward to crush ships; there he pinches the starved wolf; there he makes the llnquim- aux shiver through all their furs. And the Arctic voyager-s whom he takes prisoners and locks up in his immeasurable ungeons of snow and ice, they know what a Giant Despair he is; and friends at home who wait and wait, and to whom no good news ever comes, know it too.

There is one more good thing about winter—hc brings Christmas. Through the bleak December the though oi the coming festival is pleasant-Aline the reflection of a fire on our faces. We taste the cake before it is baked. and when it is actually before us we find that it is none the wome for the fond handling of imagination. Christ- mas-day is the pleasantest day in the whole year. 0n that day we think tenderly of distant friends. We strive to fclgivie injuries-to close accounts -with ourselves and the world—to begin the new year with a white leaf, and a trust that the chapter of life about to be com- menced will contain’ more notable entries, a fairer sprinkling of 800d actions, and that the handwriting will contain fewer erasures made in blushes. and fewer ugly blots than any 0i the earlier ones. And to make Christmas perfect, the ground should be covered and the trees djaped with snow; the bleak world outside should make us enloy all the more keenly the comforts we possess; and above all, it should make us remember the poor and the needy-for a charitable deed is the best close of any chapter of our lives. and the best promise too for the record about to be beﬂlllb —-Alex.

Town Cannot Tax Firms Via Agent

asked, through lis solicitor, Brats, Letourneau and Campbell of this city, that it be adjudged by the court that “the company does ‘not and has never carried on business in the Town of Rimouski." and “has not and has never at any time had any place of business within the limits of the town."

The municipality contended the company had an oﬂice in Rimous- ki where it collected premiums. and called the company's representa- tive or agent,’ Notary Filion, to prove its contention. The notary testified he issues interim receipts and that the premiums are paid to him after the policies have been delivered.

Agent for Many Firms

“Filion is responsible for the premiums insofar as the company is concerned." it is Filion himself who extends credit to the persons insured. He only pays the company upon the expiry of two months. If the pre- mium is not paid, Filion reports to the company and the latter can- cels the policy and endeavours to obtain payment of the premium direct from the assured. The m- pany does not charge the agent for payment of the premium for the time on the risk.

"Filion deducts his commission from the premiums received by him. Moreover, he represents eight- eerr different companies, and him- self pays the rent, the salaries of his employees, etc. The company is entitled to refuse any of the risks submitted to him by Fillon. At times he issues interim receipts prior to the issue of the policy. The company sends him accounts addressed to him personally, but therein the name oi each assured is indicated and with it premium and commission.

"Filion advertises himself as a notary and insurance agent, but. the name of the defendant com- pany does not appear in his office on a sign or placard or otherwise.

"Does/the defendant carry on business in the Town of Rimouski? Notary Filion is only an insurance broker. He chooses where he will place his risks and this in the in- terest of the assured. At times he issues interim receipts, but all ap- plications are forwarded to the company, which alone may accept or refuse the risk. If the risk is accepted. the company issues i. policy and it is, therefore, in Mon- treal that. the contract is formed and becomes effective. Can it be said that defendant, and for that matter all the insurance compan- ies with which Filion places risks, are traders or ﬁnancial establish- ments carrying on business within the limits of the plaintiff munici- polity?

“For what ends are taxes im- posed? Taxes are imposed in order to pay _for the public services af- [or-dad by the municipality, and in order to make use of such services it is necessary to live in the muni; cipallty. Can it be said that eac ggmpany dcrlves proﬁt from the public services for which the not- pry pays taxes? I do not D8116"? so}. deﬁned Mr. Justice Langlais.

At. 4 o‘clock p.m. the morning ra- tion is repeated and they are milk!" ed about 4.30, then fed hwy again and have the evening free for ru- mination.

The daily ration for one Holstein cow would approximately be 15 lbs. meal mixture, 30 lbsuof ensillgm. 20 lbs. of mangels and 20 lbs. of good hay, divided inro two feeds, with a. constant supply of fresh water to drink at will.

The water is furnished by drink- ing bowls in the stable and ‘consc- quently is not extremely cold, but only the water for cows on special test is warmed feed buckets When a cow is dry, the work of fitting her for her next lactation period begins‘ at once. The owner strongly favours building his cows up so they will carry a gooddeal of flesh before they freshen. The meal used for this purpose is a ration which consists of:

100 lbs. ground barley; 200 lbs. ground oats; 200 lbs. wheat bran; 100 lbs. ground oil cake; 50 lbs. ground wheat, of bone meal,

charcoal, d salt. The I-folsteins are fed a ut 10 to 12 lbs. of this per day and the Jerseys about 8 lbs. divided into two feeds.

If they are in the stable roots are fed in addition, but ii on the grass that is not necessary. The barley is eliminated from the ru- tlon two weeks before calving and the ration is gradually reduced to 5 or e lbs. per day and is stopped a day or two before ‘iresheninx, when bran mwhcs are fed.

Calves are allowed to take their meals from their mothers for the ﬁrst twenty-four hours. They are fed new milk for from u to 9 weeks. according to what progress they make‘. Holstein calves get from 3 lbs. up t0 5 1-2 lbs. 0f milk per feed and Jerseys up to 3 lbs. at a feed.

In changing them from whole mug to skim milk they begin with 25 per cent skim and ‘l5 per cent whole milk and then gradually make the change until they are getting all skim milk. To the skim milk is added at each feed 1 lb. of calf meal mixture composed of 100 lbs. out meal (grout-s); 100 lbs. ground wheatyﬂli lbs. ground flax seed

This oatmeal. as the term "gr-oats" indicates, ~ has had the hulls separated from it, and the flax meal is not "oil cake," but ground whole flax, so tho linseed oil remains in this ingredient and substtutes for the butter fat which has been separated from to milk.
