CANADA DAIHV IXDVSTKY.
Consul H. D. Van Sunt, of Kings
ton, sends the following Information
concerning dairying In Canada:
At the lust meeting of the Eastern
Ontario Dairymen's association on
January 8, 1908, the president report
ed:, .
"We regret to say that the, dairy
season of 1907, as far as the export
movement Is concerned, has been dis
appointing, the exports of both butter
and cheese showing a marked falling
off from those of last year, as well as
being considerably short of the aver
age of the past five . seasons. The
aggregate value of Canadian cheese
and butter exports for 1907 will be In
round numbers about 123,000,000
ogulnst $29,000,000 for 190. In
creased prices may be expected this
coming seuson, with resultant bare
markets.
Another report from this district
and Montreal states:
"Holdom if ever before was the
prospect for the production-of cheese
so gloomy as at present. This Is ow
ing to the Immense number of milch
cows I lut t farmers have been forced
to sell this fall, at whatever price they
could net, on account of the great
scarcity of hay In some of the prin
cipal dairy sections of Canada and
Ihe unusually high price of food
stuffs." In this section farmers are feeding
their cattle on the hare corn stalks,
for which (hey pay 14 per ton of 1!000
pounds. May Im Kingston has not
been s i li t uli In price In years, whin
more culilo huva heeii exported to
the Vnitcd Slates at low prices than
for some time pa.it. The outlook from
our Information Is that It will takp
two years or more to restore norma'
conditions, while the Increased output
of butter and cheese In Ticiumirk, llel
glum and the fulled KlriVcs will hsve
a tendency lo make It more difficult
for Canadian butter and cheese pro
duet to hold for the time the long lead
U FOLLETTE BILL
John E. Lathrop, who is now the
Washington correspondent for the
Oregon Dally Journal, writes as fol
lows of the effect of the president's
recent message on law enforcement
and railroad legislation:
An immediate effect of the presi
dent's message Is to make possible the
passage through the senate of Senator
La Follette'a bill authorising the In
terstate commerce commission to in
vestigate and determine the physical
value of all railroad properties.
President Roosevelt recommended
this action In his ' regular message,
but there was an understanding among
senators that nothing should be dsne.
Now, however, there has been the
same alignment of forces In the com
mittee on Interstate commerce that
existed when the rate bill was under
consideration, and a majority of the
committee Is In favor of the measure.
At a meeting of the committee Sen
ators Dolllver and Cullom and the
five democratic senators declared in
favor of taking up La Follette's bill
and hearing the senator In advocacy
of Its passage.
Assuming that this division will
continue the committee will stand 7
to 8 in favor of action.
Opponents of the bill are Senators
Elklns, Aldrich, Kean, Foraker, Clapp
and Crane, all leading reactionaries,
with the exception of Clapp, who may
go over to the other side.
This act would afford a basis for
the establishment of railroad rates,
and at the same time determine what
percentage of the stock and bond in
debtedness of railroads Is baaed upon
actual values. Railroads, whose cap
ital stock has been heavily watered,
will naturally oppose the proposition
to the last extremity.
Play tlin Game.
Shouldn't call on you today,
Business rotten, did you say? '
Take a brace, then, that's the way,
Play the game!
Watered stocks have sprung a leak,
And good things are getting weak,
But don't lose your head and sneak,
,. Piny the game!
Though your bank won't loan a cent.
Though your surplus all Is lent.
Though your ready money's spent,
Tiny the game!
Now's the time to clinch your grip,
And to stiffen up your Up;
If you fulter, you will slip,
Play the game! . .
n Observer ad. will do
The work, oh, don't he blue!
Put one In, and see It through,
Play the game!
