Agriculturist. This big gain will be
entirely due to the increased prices of
farm products, as the production in
general will be fully ten per cent less
in quantity than in 1906, which was
the bumper year. THE farmer was
never in so healthy a position as he is
today-financially, socially, politically
and spiritually" says the report. THE
increase in the value Of his real estate
has been prodigious. He owes less
money than ever before. He has
greater assets than ever. Again, the
farmers wants are greater. He is in
the market for more and better breed
ing stock, farm implements, household
goods and other merchandise"

deceased wife's sister by vote of SO
to 81, and thereby ended a legislative
contest which has lasted for seventy
two years. Before 1888 marriages Of
consanguinity and affinity were gov
erned in England wholly by the canon
law. From 1888 to 1885 such mar
riages were voidable. Taking the ta-
BILE OF degrees within which marriage

was extended to affinity, so that
wherever relationship to man him-
self would be bar to marriage, rela-
tionship to his deceased wife was the
same bar, and vice versa on the hus-
bands decease. The rule was found
ed on interpretations Of the eighteenth
chapter OF Leviticus. Formerly in
England marriages within the degrees
OF affinity were not absolutely null. but
were liable to be annulled by ecclesias-
tical process during the lives of both
parties. BY an act passed in 1885, all
marriages Of this character not dis

clared null. This act rendered null in
