For the benefit of those who may be- Iieve differently we will say that the
 brand record does not close on July
 lst.,as per statements made public. In
 fact the record never 0lOses, but Is open for business all the time. What the law says in this respect is that brands now on county record which are not transferred before that date are open to be taken by the first applicant who may apply for such brand. In other words, no brands have been recorded since March lst., which had not been on some county record previous to that date. They are all held awaiting the date named, shortly after which they will be taken up and acted upon. Ii no conflicting brand applled for wilt be
 allowed the party applying r the same and if it conflicts with a brand which the owner may have neglected to place on record, then the latter will have to
 to adopt different iron. This is not the fault of the law, but the fault of the person who requires more than four months in which to have such brand transferred Some date had to be | named, after which new brands could [ he taken up, and 1t was thought by the law makers that ,our months was ample time in which opinion this Jour: nal concurs The law IS all right. and w.. have yet 10 hear a reasonable oD- lection ,-Southwe Stockmam.

WILSON AND SUGAR.
The secretary Of Agriculture VIII
Boom ThiHE--

The secretary Of Agriculture VII
Boom Thing
In an interview with the Call repre-
sentative, Secretary Of Agriculture
Wilson said:
do you know that we are now i'm
porting millions of dollars worth Of
sunshine from Germany every year,"
The Call correspondent confessed his
dense ignorance, whereupon the new
Secretary said:
We'll, 1 mean sugar. Sunshine
makes sugar We have enough of sun
shine and good soil in our own broad
land. 1t has been demonstrated that
the sugar bet thrives in the great
corn belt. Now, we not only propose
to make all of the sugar that we con
sumo, but after the saccharine matter
has been extracted from the beet we
intend 10 feed it to COWS. Why, my
boy, we can raise more sugar beets
and fatten more cows and make more
good butter than any. country on earth.
One of the first things | shall do will
be to appoint special agents in Europe
to Investigate and report on different
fiavors of butter now in demand over
there. You see, we must consult the
tastes of these people. The longer the
butter is worked the longer it will
keep fresh in transportation. The
more il is worked the more buttermilk
is pressed from the fat, for buttermilk
is casino, you know, and the bacteria
feed upon casino"
Secretary Wilson reverted to the sub
ject of distribution of sugar beet and
other seed. He said that, as everybody
knows this has been a vexed question
during the past four years, and Secre-
tary Morton has persistently opposed
appropriations for this purpose.
Are we going to get our. seed?" is
the Interrogation of every member OF
Congress. especially those from the ag-
ricultUral sections, TO the new Secre-
tary of Agriculture. This inquiry the
Secretary invariably answers in the af-
firmative.
"Yes. but under different system,
and one which will. 1 hope, develop
new industries and a greater diversi
fication of agricultural industries and
agricultural products

New Tariff Bill VIII Meet OppoSI-
ton Across the Border
MONTREAL, March 21.-Since the
provisions of the Dingley tariff were
announced it has been canvassed here,
and the concensus of opinion seems to
be that it is hostile to the interests of
Canada. The indications are that the
forthcoming revision of the tariff will
not be so much in the line of lower
duties as was promised before the cleo
ton. Alderman Prefontaine, NJ. P,
who has just returned from confer
ence with the Ministers at Ottawa, has
intimated pretty plainly that this is
the case, and that retaliatorS duties
Will be imposed against the United
States all along the line.
