Professor Robertson saye. “The valne € the oatmeal! imported inte Greet Britain in 1895, was SL6GLO.70l. Of thar Canada contrivurerl to the amount of $267,569. With the soiland climate admirably ad- anted fer the growing of large crops of oats of a fine qual ty,from Prinee Edward Island to Vanconver I[s| ind, it seems that Canada should have a irge share of that trade rom personal examination, I am ubleto certify that ouatmea from Cana- dian oats 1s qu le equal m quality to the best.

It seems but reasonable, now that we have a steamship direct to Liverpool, that P. | siand can ship oatmeal direct to "Great Britain as well, at least, as On- tarico, which i8 athousaod miles further away. There can be no question about the quality of the rolled oats produced at Mr. Fall’s mill. It is superior. —em + -- THE ENGLISH FATHERLAND. A new light bas lately dawned upon the peuple of the United Saes, Professor C. W. Alvord Self Culture Favs : in for October “We preceive more clearly than before that to live is more than self-existence, to realize that life Carries with it responsibili« tics to Others, that our sympathies must be broa jened till they pass beyond our bor- dere to people of other Jands and climes. After this sudden awakening, ovr first consciousness is of one people, one nation, which enters into our feelings, sy mpathies and aspirations more directly and more entirely than any of the otbers. It is the people of the Island of Great Britain. They, througbout the war, have been cer~ tain and steaafast friends. This has been for many of us, no doubt, a fact hard to reconcile with our preconceived potions ; for the knowledge of our past, gleaned trom the old-fashioned school histories which laid euch stress on the two wers with the motherlaod, that of 1776 and that of 1812, has; madethe name of British and enemy apparently stynonys mous. Add to this that, by av almost un- conscious varrowing of tbe meaning of the word English, it has been made to con- note only the peopleeof Britain and her colunies, while on the other Land the name American has come tu designate, in the commou mind, a separate and peculiar . people, compleiely foreign to the English. Englisa and American stood in opposi-~ tion. distory was being buried under fictitious definitions. [tis time forthe good word English to renew it* ancient meaning ond to connote ail who speak the common janguage avd are equal heirs of the noble English iradi- tions.

The latest commiesion launched is one on lobsters. Of it Mr. Archibald Currie, of Sourie, and Mr. Stephen E Gallant, of Egmont Bay, are prominent members. This commission is to be peripetatic in its methods, and will no doubt have much to report as to travelling expenses, —A prominent citizen of the Great Republic recently proposed free entry into the United States of Canadian barley in return for free entry into Canada of United States corn. This gentleman did not know, he could not have imagined the fact, that Canada has already given free entry to United States corn in return for—nothing. Perbaps he knows that United States corn comes into competition with our oats, cutting down the price, and so refused to believe that the Government of Canada wonld be so foolish as to deliberately cut into the profits of our farmers by taking off the duty on corn. —The Americans are contrasting the mathematical precision {tie Sirdar’s oper- SUNNYSIDE. ations, with the bungling of their own generals in Cuba.
