\u201chat-the wbèle milk trade of the .otty:: ought to be in tire That would .economy, tut would also emsure proper storage facilities, and proper precautions in all the processes of handling the milk.Tkese companies should, of be .subject to.the imspection and süper- vision of the city\u2019s Health Department.\u2019 \u2018But don\u2019t yom sylt in a \u2018combine which would force wp 1 the price\u2019 of milk to an exorbitant extent?\u2018No, because in.the matter of -milk, which is of such vital importance to the health \u2018and well-being of the people, the city: should jtself regulate the Drice, ac- that the price of milk would ad any case, because the supply was no equal to the demand, and because the price of feed was going up.Formerly, the farmers used to come into the city looking for customers.Now the milk sell- the milk they copld supply at 14 cents.a gallon for next.\u2018summer, the intention being to charge.seven cente a quart re- {tail next summer.Last summer the farmers were paid 12 cents a gallon for milk, To chip: that milk into Montreal costs two and three-quarter cents a gal- \u2018lon, leaving the farmer practically nine cents à on.hen 1 .ed, So of the cream, and scld the poor quality of milk that was left for.six cents a quart.A \u2018dealer rarely\u2019 took more than from six to ten four-gallon cans a day, and he had to drive all over the city to deliver it.A big company could deliver much more economically by dividing the city into districts, and thus delivering a much larger quantity per horse and man employed than was poesible with the small dealer.Speaking for the farmers, .Tai hill said they were willing to co-operate in every reasonable particular with the health authorities .in this matter, and were quite willing, he was sure, to have their \u2018down tested.for tubérculosis.' Tu- \u2018berculosis, \u2018however, was not anything like so common.among cows as.was sup- last year for shipment to South Africa\u2014 from that sectiop of the country alone.\u2018these cows were tested before they were shipped, and only three to a hi were condemned.He added a strong hope that the city Bealth authorities would see to it that milk cans were returned to the farmers clean.At present they were sent back ~ith stale milk \u2018n them, and often in thie.most evilémelling \u2018and foul condi- Frion.- ; une |THE LATE SR: ef on hands :of ene sor two.big companies.think that wotild- ¥e- | vance m | ers ¢ome to them.and offered to buy all Then the dealer ex-}tier,- J.T.Ostell_H.\u2018odoin, TE.J.Peltier, J.W- Barre, G.0 Mr.Tanna: posed.Huntingdon county, for instance, a lot of dairy cows were bougfit- some three or four ghipments of 200 each THE SWETTENHAM- DAVIS INCIDENT: The Correspondence Will Not at Present be Published.+ THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT CON) SIDERS IT A MATTER BETWEEN THE GOVERNMENT AND AN OFFICIAL.London, Jan.23.\u2014The government hey has heard from Governor Swettenham -g Jamaica concerning the incident involty ing the withdrawal of the United Stafds.warships from Kingston.Absolute - crecy 18 maintained at the Colonial OFfice, but the fact was elicited that dar ing the night a good many telegrams were received from Governor Swetttg am, some of which dealt with the ire dent.These, it is understood, confirag the main features of the affair as already published.It is not at present the: vention of the Colonial Office to mail e telegrams public, the official viet being that it is a personal affair bet a government department and an o is properly adjustable betwi them, and the authorities incline to: view that general interest will best served by having the replies appear blue book at some distant period, in.meantime being dealt with through\u2019 usual diplomatic channels for intercowki between power and power.LR At-the Foreign ce\u2019 it was admit that the telegrams from Governor S&%# tenham referred to the incident, but # was added that they are not regards as being the Governor's reply to the r& quest of the Secretary for the Colonies, the-Earl of Elgin, for his version of affair.© The Foreign Office officials say that-no statement can be made at pre ent,\u201d as.they desire to have all the bs the- Governor withes to present befoxg shaping their corse.4 LE \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 so a on Frag FUNERAL TOOK PLACE WITH: : \u2018MILITARY HONORS THIS de ~~.MORNING.The late .E.Desnoyers was: ed this g with i ho The casket, covered with the Unis.Jal.wag placed on a carriage-euppl | by the 3rd Field Battery, and.Priest of Bi.James\u2019 -Churéh, at'uiias,! the assietants\"being the « ZS © \u2018THE \u2018LATE CAPTAIN.DESNOYBRS.] Rousseau, D.Chevrjer, R.'

the demand from Great Britain has never been met and numerous connections bave beer established by shippers, on the con- tizent of Europe, and even as far atield as South Africa.Another market for the product of the Eastern Canadian orchards 4 opening up in our own North-West, Hor- HMeukturists state that the climate in the \u2018western provinces \u2018is not suitable for apple growiig and\u201d that the production of this variety of fruit can never be undertaken with any reasonable hope of success, but $he.country is filling up with settlers and people from England and the United States Who have a patural and inheritel taste for ébples, and already the demand from the West, never considered until recently as & £onsuming factor in the situation, has £0s- tered a growing trade, and profitable ventures have been made by dealers who were 18a position to meet requirements, poe.180LATED ORCHARDS ; ARE UNPROFITABLE.\"There hss boon a big market for the kind of fruit that is grown on the farms in Nova Scotia, Ontario and Quebec eme time past, but in a year wien apples are plentiful the product of orchards, even within fifty miles of Montreal, is being fed to pigs, given Away when possible, and even allowed to 80 to waste on the ground, and lack Of proper organization is the sole cause Of such deplorable conditions.It is the iso- Jated orchards that are unprofitable.In & good apple-growing neighborhood like Certain sections of the Island of Montreal where one orchard adjoins another, and where everybody goes in for apple cultivation, little difficulty is experienced in marketing the crop as dealers are willing to send out buyers, gangs of packers and spe- clai shipmepte of barrels to a neighborhood where the available supplies are large euough to warrant the cost entailed.The farmer who has an orchard and cannot sell \u2018ble: fruit on the tree is not in the way of making very large profits, for his market wiil #3 a rule be confined to supplying local cohisumers, and even high grade stock will only bring a small price when sold in this - IR requires an established connec- Hon on \u2018a comsuming market where good steék will bring high prices to make apple saisine pay; smd it\" 1s because the dealers 459 -in a onto place the\u2018 stock on y prices to the .growers and still have a profitab nee, to The Tce at there are two or three profits made on t andiing of the apple | crop, bes induced the farmers in some sections of.Nove Scotia snd Ontario to form | Associations and appoint their own sales- .j nen on the British and Western markets, and in this way the middlemen's profits have been saved and instead of getting à \u2018| comparatively low figure for their apples, foo Eromera get the market value of the ruit less the \u2018cost \u2018of\u2019 delivery to the buyer.Instead of and $1.25 that the merbbers of these Associations previously got for each barrel of apples, the net returns, which represent a large proportion % the proceeds ol sales: made at $3.75 to $6 per barrel are being received.; £9 CENTRATION A¥S THE BEST.- 5.- - > This idea of concentration and the absorption of \u2018the' different branches has been carrfed out in the Dominion Orchard Company as will be seen in a brief outline of their plans.The company charter pro- age and to deal generally in apples and other farm products, sand these rights will be exercised when active operations become practicable about April 1.Options til May 1 have been secured on about 400 acres of land suitable for fruit growing purposes on the Island of Montreal, and other options to enable the company to work on # larger scalé are being seught.Mr.W.W.Dunlop well knbwn as a Irutt rower in Outremont, has signed contracts o run the practical end of the enterprise, and when the proper season arrives the work of putting in about 60,000 trees will be commenced.Four-year old trees will be planted, and as apple 4rees bear by the eighth year there wiil be a crop in four years and the trees will keep on Improving for the :néxt \u2018twenty years.In the meantime the company will handie the apples that come: into their possession through an agreement with a firm ot Dur- serymen.This company began selling trees in 1903 reserving an option on the crop for the first.five years.These .trees, about 125,000 in number, will be bearing large crops this season, and the options have been transferred to the Dominion Orchard Company who are thus insured a eupply of apples while their own trees are coming to maturity during the next four years.The options were paid for in common stock of the company.Mr.Dunlop is the originator of one of the most successful North American plums and the company, on his recommendation, has decided x plant plum and apple trees alternately when the orchards are laid out.Altogether about thirty thousand plum trees will\u2019 be ' planted, sud these will bear In one season.In addition to this, large number -of small fruits will be plant between the rows, jucluding strawberries, resp- berries, blacklerries and currants.None but two-year-old trees will be used, and these will bear a full crop one year after plantiog.The small fruits will be for the local markets, principally Montreai and Ottawa, and improved transportalion facilities are assured, which will make the rapid and \u201cconvenient handling of the produce a simple matter.The appies grown on the property\u2014which will intlude Fameuse and about a dosen other well known 1ong-keeping varieties\u2014will be marketed at bome and skipped to Kurope, in barrels and boxes, the latter package containing one-third of a barrel having become & very poptlar method of packing choica grades.The first call for subsoriptions to 4 ° Apply this Office.\u2018To Let.APARTMENTS.\u2014THE' REXINGTON, B84 Hutchison Street, Annex, between Via- - teur and Bernard (dupkcaté and adjoln- ing Hutchison Apartments) § rooms, exclusive of pantry and bath-room, heated, janitor, $35.00 per month, Wy > 1 during March, Rent free to May 1st.Apply Caretaker, J.GILLOTT, on prem- Ages.\u2019 : FURNISHED HOUSE TO LET;
