For the second year in succession Western Canada has obtained record crops the statistics of which are available now that threshing operations have been completed. The production of tvheat is returned at 64,283,434 bushels, aveaging 2435 bushels per acre oats, 49,500,000 bushels; barley, 13,000,000 bushels. The whole crop has been saved in fine condition, and an unusually large proportion j of the wheat yield is of the highest quality. The E prices, at local points in Western Canada, average c 56 to 60 cents a bushel. The return, therefore, to the farmer, undei these conditions is most satis- factory. The outside cost of raising an acre of wheat is 30s, so that, at the prices mentioned, 124 bushels would cover production, leaving the value of 12 bushels, say 27s to 36s profit per acre. ji Railway construction in the Canadian North- West is proceeding at a rapid pace, including a second Trans-Continental Line under the auspices of the Grand Trunk Railway, which will follow the line of route originally surveyed and adopted by the Canadian Government for a trans-Pacific i ail- way. The country through which this line passes forms the pick of the North-West for grain and for stock, and thousands of settlers, particularly from the United States, are pouring into the Saskatche- wan Valley and settling down in advance of can- struction. We have to acknowledge receipt of some attractive literature lissued by the Offices of the High Commissioner, 17, Victoria- street, London, S.W., dealing with these new districts, copies, of which, we understand, can be bad on application bv any of our readers who are interested in the subject. t ON PIGGERY FITTINGS. Over half a century ago Youatt wrote that there are few things more conducive to the thriving and well-being of swine than airy, spacious, well- constructed piggeries, and, above all, cleanliness. The old prejudices, that any place was good enough to keep a pig in and that filth and pigsties were synonymous terms, are now passed away, and the necessity of attention to this branch of live- stock economy generally recognised. Formerly swine were too aften housed in damp, dirty, close, imperfectly built sheds; this was an error, and a fruitful source of disease and of unthrifty animals. In large establishments were numerous pigs are kept there should be divisions apportioned to all the different kind of pigs the males, the brood- stock, the newly weaned, and the fattening pigs should all be kept separate and it were as well that in the divisions apportioned to the second and last of these four classes there should be a distict apartment for each animal, all opening into a yard or enclosure of limited extent. As pigs require warmth, these buildings should face the south, and be kept weather-tight and well drained. Good ventilation is also important, for it is need- less to expect animals to make good flesh and retain their health unless they have a sufficiency of pure air. The blood requires it, to give it vitality and free it from impurities, as much as the stomach requires wholesome and strengthening food. Damp and cold floors should also be guarded against, and the roof so contrived as to carry off the wet from the pigs. JANUARY PROVERBS. Remember on St. Vincent's day, If that the sun his beams display, Be sure to mark his transient beam Which through the casement sheds a gleam; For 'tis a token bright and clear Of prosperous weather all the year. If the grass grow in Janiveer, It grows the worse for 't all the year. If St. Paul's be fair and clear, It betides a happy year If on St. Paul's day it doth rain, Dear will be the price cf grain The blackest month of all the year Is the month of Janiveer. March in Janiveer, Janiveer in March I fear. GARDENING FOR THE MONTH. Now is the time to save time by getting ready. Before you meddle with the garden, do two things: first, inspect your seeds, assort them, re- jecting the shrunk, the mildewed, the sprouted' and, generally, the discoloured.* Buy early, such as you need to purchase. Do not wait till the minute of planting before you get your seeds. Second, make up your mind beforehand just what you mean to do in your garden for the season. This is the digging month; almost the only garden operation that can be performed is digging, or rather trenching, the ground, and even this cannot be done unless the weather be open and the ground free from frost. Take advantage of frosty weather to wheel out manure. Protect broccoli as it grows fit for use, or remove it to a dry shed or cellar. Broccoli is generally supposed to be a variety of the cauliflower; but it differs essentially, both in being much hardier and in being very ap tto vary. All the different kinds of broccoli seem to have sprung from two, the purple and the green, which are said to have been brought from Italy. Protect celery in trenches during severe weather. The best plan, however, is to get up: a good supply, and lay it in dry earth in a shed or outhouse, as in the event of frost after wet a good deal of the crop may be ruined. At any time this month, if the weather serves, make early sowings in dry,sunny, sheltered borders, of peas, beans, two-bladed cnions, York cabbage, horn carrot, and parsnips. Of course there is con- siderable risk of the labour being lost and the seed thrown away; but nothing venture nothing have. Forward rhubarb in the open ground by covering the crowns with sea-kale pots or old boxes. Rhubarb may also be forced by planting the 1'002 in a box, and keeping it in the house on a stove or near the kitchen fire, covering the box with a bast mat to keep the plant in darkness and free from dust, and watering now and then. If forcing materials were not placed over seakale last month, it may be be done this. Sea-kale is forced by covering the plants first with silver-sand, then turning what are called sea- kale pots over them, and lastly covering the pots, to the depth of fifteen or twenty inches, with fresh stable manure, the heat from which will draw the shoots up, and make them succulent and fit to eat. Any fruit trees not planted in autumn, which is the best time, may be planted now mulch over the j roots as a protection from frost and from drought | which may occur in the spring. Nail fruit trees only in fine weather but they may be pruned in mild weather or in moderate frosts. Trees infested with insects should be washed with a mixture of soapsuds, bbck sulphur, and tobacco-water. In suitable weather dig over and manure all vacant flower-beds and borders, leaving the surface rough, -so that the soil may be well pulverised by the frost. Great care should now be taken to protect, the choicest flowering plants and tenderer kinds in pots, which should be removed to places of shelter from frost, either in garden frames or under awn- ings of mats or in default of such protections, in some warm situation under a south wall, &c. Pro- tect also all choice bulbs and tuberous-rooted perennials from severe weather. I Plant tulips in mild weather to bloom late in the year; but. tbev will, not be. so handsome as those

MR. CHAMBERLAIN AND BOER DEMANDS. Mr. Chamberlain was frank and outspoken in his reply to the Boer d?le^ates who presented a memorial to him at Pretoria. He warned them that there was growing impatience at their constantly reiterated demands. There could be no further amnesty under pressure, and in regard to the request for the return of certain burghers who werf excluded from South African soil, he invited the dot Heat-,as to disclose how the monev of the late Republic had been spent on the Continent, and what balance remained of the immense sums tak^n from the banks. It would. he added, be impossible to reverse the policy of annexation to Natal, and he concluded with a strong appeal for unity, which was received with general cheers.

THE DELHT DURBAR REVIEW. Lord Kitchener has issued an Order, at Dell) 4, 1, intimating that the Viceroy had expressed his great admiration at the appearance and conduct of the troops at the review, and stating that the Duke of Connaught had also requested him to say how highly he appreciated their smart and soldier-like bearing, which reflected great credit upon the entire army in India. Lord Kitchener adds that it is a pleasure to him to convey these remarks to the troops, who, by their efforts, in his opinion, made the parade a complete r-uccess.

A LOT TO CONTEND WITH. At Southwark Police-court George Leatt, aged twenty-eight, a B;*rmondsey labourer, was charged with assaulting his wife by striking her on the face with a cup. The man said that he married ten years ago, and he had thirteen step-children. They led him an awful life.-iNIr. Paul Taylor: Do I understand that when you were eighteen you married this woman with thirteen chil.dren ?-The Prisoner: Yes, sir.—Mr. Paul Taylor: A very unfortunate start in life.—The Wife: lie was con- v ted before for assaulting-me.—The Prisoner Yes. and that was all through the step-children. I w ould be happy in my own home but for them.- The prisoner's grandfather stepped forward and said that the young man had a lot to contend with. Marrying a woman double his age caused all these ",I-ii i,t ions. "-Mr. Paul Taylor imposed a penalty ot 40s. with the alternative of a month's imprison- ment.

BANKRUPT SENT TO PRISON. At Bristol Quarter Sessions Edwin Albert S lulhcott, a Bristol jeweller, has been sentenced to three months' imprisonment for an offen'ce under the Bankruptcy Act. The prisoner, who admitted being insolvent in June, 1900, obtained a large quantity of jewellery on credit last year from several Birmingham firms and disposed of it at less than cost price, this being the offence complained of.

LOSS OF A STEAM TRAWLER AND CREW. Hope has been abandoned of the safety of the steam trawler Grecian, belonging to the Boston Visiting Company, which it was concluded had foundered in the North Sea with the loss of all hands. The vessel left port on December 18th, and should have returned from the fishing grounds before the end of the month. The belief is that she perished in the gale which raged on Christmas The crew of nine were with two exceptions 1;n.-irr:ed men. ')ne of the single men was n German making his fil1'; trip to sea, and the other, a deck hand, was to have been married on the vessel's to Dort.

GLANPAITH. GENEROSITY.—Mr John Parry, Glanpaitb, has given half-a-ton of coal for general distribution amongst the poor people of Dyffryn Paith. The gift. was a welcome one, and is only another instance of Mr Parry's kind-heartedness. Both Mr and Mrs Parry take a practical interest in those around them, and many a home where sickness prevails has been gladdened by their visits.

LLANWNEN. SCHOOL REPORT.—The following is an extract from H.M.'s report for the past year:—"Thoroughly good work is being done in this schoolvand its general condition does credit to the Master. The order and discipline deserve special commendation." Bessie Davies, 2nd year, P.T., and Lizzie Williams, 1st year P.T., obtained the highest grants possible. CLERGYMAN'S TRAGIC DEATH. A Geneva correspondent reports a sad affair which occurred in a small town near Lucerne. M. Battigg, after preaching an eloquent sermon, during which he begged forgiveness from all those whom he had involuntarily offended, descended the pulpit, and after sitting still for a few minutes, suddenly fell to the floor. Medcial assistance was summoned, but when a doctor arrived the clergyman was dead.

GALLANT RESCUES. An exciting scene was witnessed at Whitburn, a village about three miles north of Sunderland, on Saturday. The steamer Chamois, of London, went ashore on Thursday night, and on Saturday morning a gang of salvage men from Leith went aboard to prepare the vessel for refloating. Soon after the salvage party had boarded the steamer a strong gale from the north-east sprung up, and the waYt'¡ dashed over her with such force as to place the men in jeopardy. The Whitburn lifeboat put out, but failed to make headway against winrl, tide, and waves, and she had to he beached. Thereupon the coastguards and volunteer life-taving company turned out, and rockets were fired over the steamer. This was at noon, but, owing to accidents with the line, it was four o'clock before perfect communica- tion was established with the ( lianiois. The breeches buoy was then cot away, and one by one the salvage men were drawn ashore tlir, u,Ik the boiling surf in an exhausted condition.

WILD BOAR IN THE NEW FOREST. A New Forest keeper has succeeded in shooting the wild boar which escaped some months ago from an enclosure at Beau leu. I he animal was presented by the King to the Hon. £ cott Montague, M. P the New Forest Division, and news ot its e*en« e created considerable consternation in the neighbor- hood. The boar was riisc>^ered in ore of i thickest parts of the lore-' "wi "? 81 at at \jJ

Women with Rheumatism 1 A.WONDERFUL BILE BEAN CURE. MOTHER & SON BOTH GRATEFUL. Rheumatism is caused by an excess of a certain acid in the blood. Chas. Forde's Bile Beans by their action on the liver and kidneys purify the blood and thus end this painful ailment in the most direct manner. All sufferers will Ind in the follow- ing case food reflect on and information from which they mav benefit. Mrs Eliza Beale, of Knington Cottage, Avenue Road, Astwood Bank, near Redditcb, speaking to a Redditch Indicator reporter, said Some seven or eight years ago I was attacked with rheumatism in the legs. This, as you may easily imagine, was a great trial to me, for, besides hindering me in my work, it caused me a good deal of pain, and preventing me getting about as easily as I bad hitherto been able to do. On several occasions when out on an errand, I experienced great difficulty in reaching home, and I was often unable to go upstairs, except by crawling on my hands and knees. In addition to this, I began to be troubled with indigestion and liver complaint. The pain caused by tbe indigestion was at times most acute, and completely prostrated me. I was compelled to obtain medical advice, but the doctor's medicine only afforded temporary relief. I continued in this way for a long time, sometimes better, sometimes worse but never really well. I also tried several preparation for the rheumatism, but it was all money spent in vain. Some time ago I happened to read in the paper of a case similar to my own, which had been cared by Cbas. Forde's Bile Beans, and I determined to give them a trial. My son obtained a box for me, and when I bad taken a few of the Beans I began to feel better. The rheumatism was not so painful, and I did not suffer so much from indigestion. I continued with the Beans, and gradually both the indigestion and rheumatism completely disappeared. I can now walk about anywhere, and am no longer troubled with indigestion." It is also interesting to note the effect which Bile Beans bad upon Mrs Beale's son, who had been a great sufferer from indigestion and loss of appetite. In answer to the queries of the reporter he said "I commencod taking Bile Beans for indigestion and loss of appetite from which I suffered, and they acted like magic. They have quite restored my appetite, and I can now eat all kinds of food with- out feeling any ill effects afterwards." Chas. Forde's Bile Beans fur Biliousness, are a certain cure for rheumatism, indigestion, conges- tion of the liver, loss of appetite, constipation, piles, anfemia, headache, and all female ailments; alsu for chill, neuralgia, lumbago, and as a preventative of influenza.

Salmon Fishing During Close Season. A case of much interest to anglers, as showing the loss sustained through taking salmon during the close season, was that heard recently at the Edinburgh Sheriff Court, before Sheriff Henderson, when Thomas Craig, fishmonger, Dunbar, was charged at the instance of the Fishmongers' Com- pany of the City of London, having an official in Edinburgh, with a contravention of the Salmon Fishery Act of 1868 in so far that on October 30th he had in his possession at the North British Cold Storage Company, Tower-street, Leith, thirty-five salmon taken within the limits of the Act between the commencement of the latest and the termina- tion of the earliest annual close time, or other- wise tbac the respondent had in his possession at Dunbar quantities of the same fish. The respondent pleaded not guilty. Inspector Scott said he called on the respondent on the 30tb October, as the result of receiving a telegram from Leith stating that four boxes of salmon had been placed in the Cold Stores, Leith. Craig said he had kept them in ice from the be- ginning of the close season, but, running short of ice, be had forwarded them to Leith to be pre- served.—Another witness said he examined thirty- fnnr fifth 11 irci-a fomoln 4;111 .1 "'U'I:Io" "¿J _¿¿ '&A.U.1al- .1,1."11, a11U 11'VQ1. spawning. The loss to the river could not be calcu- lated, but it could be put down to £ 1,000. Each fish would have at least 10,000 eggs'. In his opinion, the fish had never seen ice at all, and were but newly taken from the sea.—The defence was that the salmon were all in the ice-house before the commencement of the close season. The season was a quiet one, and as the supply of ice ran short the respondent sent them to Leith for the purpose of being preserved. James Muirhead said salmon would keep for a long time if properly placed in ice. They would keep before the commencement of the close season till October. From early in Jaly to 2nd September the fish which Mr Craig bought,weighed 5001b. The weight of the fish sent to Leith weighed 470- £ lb. He could not say what was done with the rest. A few were kippered The Sheriff: Do you mean to tell me that Mr I Craig kept all these fish in his ice-house merely for the pleasure of looking at them ? (Laughter.) —Witness No, but the season was a quiet one and the fish were there if they were wanted.—The Sheriff said the charge had been clearly proved, and the evidence for the defence had failed to dispose of the assertion that the fish had been taken during the close season. The offence was a particularly dangerous and audacious one, and one expert witness had fixed the damage done at £ 1,000. He thought the Legislature had this in view when they fixed the penalty. He imposed j the full penalty of £ 5, and a modified penally of J £ 1 for each fish, making in all £ s0. with j £ 12 12s of expenses.

Protection of choice plants now requires particular care. Consult a good reliable catalogue, such as that of Messrs. Daniel's Limited, of Norwich.
