CANADIAN FARMERS
 MONEY LENDERS Manufacturing Enterprises Aided by Their
 Savings. NEW ORDER OF THINGS. Possible Adjustment Be tween United Kingdom and United States.

Washington, Jne 2.--The financial in- dependence of the Canadian farmers is the theme in the report sent to the government by Consul James II, Wor- man of Three Rivers, Quebec. In con- verting a false impression, Consul Norman goes on to say:
 1t is the general impression that numbering is the principal industry of Canada, but if the export figures for 1906 are to guide in this matter the returns of the export of agricultural products exceed those of the forest by s2O,S2s,654 agricultural being credited with $54O62, 3ST, against $33, ,235,6SS for the forests. It appears from the re- turns that, despite the fact that Can ada has made such progress in dairy ing and now exports about S32,OO0,0OO worth of butter and cheese, she im- ported to the extent of more than s10O,00O of these products, of which the United States furnished over half.
 Within recent years the provincial government has taken great pains to. educate the husbandman in his pro- fession In 1906 hogs were distributed for breeding purposes to improve that class of animals The pedigrees of the French horse were made the sub ject of special Investigation; other classes of work horses were imported for breeding purposes. Sessions for instruction in husbandry, and especial ly in dairying, were held all over the Province, and as result great ad- vances were recorded.
 Ut is claimed that the enormous de- velopment of the grain-producing Northwestern Provinces will make Canadian agricultural interests the prevailing influence in any adjustment between the United Kingdom and the United States. A commercial union with the United States is favored by the new producers of the northwest, whose influence is beginning to dwarf that of the older portions of the Dom- inion. But even in this Province dur ing the tariff-revision conferences it became evident that the farmers con- trolled public sentiment, and the re- ductions made in the tariff favored os- peciaIly the husbandman. He can now supply himself with tools and machin- cry at much lower rates than formerly
 s'There is no question that the largest percentage of the amount at present on deposit in Canadian banks (some $75, 900, ,000) is controlled by the agricultur- al community. This vast amount is in addition to the large sums on deposit with trust and loan companies and in farm mortgages, in Ontario and Cue bec particularly, has been decreased ] The farmers to-day as class are not borrowers, but lenders. This is mark edly so in this province.
 Turning to the other side of the banking returns, it is observed that current loans and discounts, which represent the volume of money employ ed in the manifold industries of the country have increased in just about the same ratio as the deposits. Ill oth- CT words, the manufacturers of the country and those engaged in other lines of activity are borrowing the capital required in their various enter prises from the farmers

Suppose you wish to go out shopping or calling and are undecided about talk ing an umbrella, You realize that dur ing April the weather is capriclous thing and little to be depended upon. You don't wish to be bothered with an umbrella if the sun continues to shine, yet you object to being caught in the rain. Do you have any animals about your home? If you live in the country, no doubt you do! if in the city, perhaps you possess a pet cat or parrot or canary Well, watch them for few minutes: most animals and birds are good barometers. Perhaps if you live in an apartment-h your neighbor possesses a tabby T wish to go out walking" you murmur politely. May I watch your cat few minutes? Such a pretty little kitty!" While you sit watching the soft-eyed kitten your friend will regard you with perplexi- ty and some amusement. But you see the eat washing her face energetically. You go to your room and get an um- brella. Your friend goes out walking without observing her cat and she gets wet.
 When you return home you can tell her that if she will notice the eat be- fore going out she need not fear the weather Before q ranstorm the cat l nearly always washes her face. Why?

THE WAYS OF FOXES.
Their Habits and Life--AnnOying ..
 Herd of Cows.

A letter from Will w Christman of Delanson, N. Y., sent to Forest and Stream by John Burroughs, says:
 My occupation as farmer has tend ed to familiarize me with many things of which you write. This is especially true of the fox. I have fought them with gun, trap, and poison. and have had some interesting and amusing ex- periences. Every summer, usually in early morning, they turk in a piece of woodland, near the barn. and when ever hen or chicken ventures too far from the buildings, 1t is bounced upon and carried away. Such a long pro- cesslon of Plymouth Rocks has gone in that direction, year after year, that make no truce with reynard, but take his life in season or out, when- ever opportunity offers

The lookout in the crows nest for

the cleats In the iron mast and went
to tho starboard door In the forecastle.

against the bunk coamings. Only two
men on the Port Edes who were not

which no man could distinguish with
certainty between wakefulness and

laws of nations would stigmatize as
felony. and that of complex degree.
There were two berths In the room

which contained two spread out port
manteaux. Beneath this last were
drawers In which the captains stew
art kept table linen, disused corks, the
carpet which the chartroom sported in
harbor and other articles of ship's use.
Cambel had two of these drawers out
on the floor and from the recess Of their
site had drawn two fine, green silk
covered wires.
He disentangled the coils, taking care
to avoid a kink, and then unscreyed
