A writer in the Deutsche Rundshau
of Berlin has recently undertaken to
prove that the centre of gravity of the
worlds commerce is gradually shift
ing from England through Germany
to the United Safes. The writer esti-
mates the total decline in British
manufactures during the past seven
years at per cent per eannum. He
holds that the loss has been Ger
many's gain, but that the centre of
gravity of commerce will ultimately
rest in the United States. iron and
cotton are destined to be the staples
of the latter country, as they are of
England, but England has to spend
large sums annually in buying bread
stuffs and provisions TO meet the needs
of her Industrial population. The
people of the United States, OH the
other hand, are not only able to feed
themselves from the products of their
soil, but they can also supply from
their surplus q heavy British and
continental demand. They also have
the raw materials of iron and cotton
goods in abundance close to the place
manufactures, and thus possess a
double advantages.

FARM NOTES.

Good bright straw may be used rs a
substitute for hay and corn-fodder
when it is more plenty or cheaper
than the latter. Itneeds a little extra
grain to go with it, as it does not con-
tain as much nutrimensas the hay.
1t is better adapted to growing stock
than to milch cows or working horses.
Colts and young horses thrive on it..

The U. S. Dairyman says that it is
a provision of Nature that the cow
looks out for herself before she does
for her stupid owner, and she will
not give rich milk until after she has
recuperated from the effects of semi
starvation. She wants some meat on
her bones before she will put much in
the pail. The farmer had better take
the grain out of his granary than keep
it out of his pail. The same paper
says that most dairy farmers are
skeptical in regard to the profitable
ness of winter dairying and will be
for the next half century, yet those
who have tried it for years think they
could not afford to practice any other
system.

The Olive Bra lch last week paid
weil-descrved compliment to the men
who have served as county commits
sioners from the district in which that
paper is published. Too much praise
can hardly be given the late A. j.
Comstock who died in Office. He was
one of the county's pioneers and was
as honest as the day is long. He had
a clear head, Il resolute will and all
interests entrusted to him whether
public or private, were always safely
guarded. X. G. Helgeson who sue
ceeded him as commissioner, is in
many respects the same kind of man.
Equally honest, and intelligent, he
has left record of which any man
might feel proud. Their present COM
missioner, r. b. Macarthur also ranks
among the best men in the county.
Intelligent, we'll educated, we'll in
formed, and thoroughly honest and
conscientious. lie may be depended
upon at all times to do just what is
right. If the other districts of the
county had always had representa-
tives upon the county board, as reli-
able as those from this Hancock dis
trict, the affairs of the county would
be in better condition than is now
the case.

But naught is ours that went before;

BRITISH GOVERNMENT.

1t fs often said that our plan Of
government is modelled 'rpon that OF
Great Britain; and yet there is one
feature of the British Parliamentary
system that marks q wide difference
between that and our own. In this
country it may be, and frequently is
the case, that the President and his
Cabinet are of ore political party
and both houses of Congress Of the
other, and though every vote of Con,
gress may be a manifest condemna
ton OF she policy of the Executive,
a change Of administration, or even
an abandonment of the policy so
condemned is not even thought Of
But in Great Britain it is otherwise.
There the government Is absolutely
at the merry Of the commons, and
vote of censure or one adverse to the
policy of the government brings the
ruling party down and out and the
Queen must summon some one o.
the opposite political faith to form a
ministry. This begets rerplexing
difficulties when, as at present, there
is a third party holding the balance
Of power. Mr. Parneil's party, while
numerically weaker than either of
the others, is, in fact, the most pow.
erful of all. He has in rapid sue.
cession overthrow two ministries.
