'There may just possibly be .probability thet as soon is the .de- cisive victory at Manilla is fully appte- bended by the powers an effort will be made to put an end to the war, before there is an opportunity for another collision between the navies. There .is little dout,t that such a movement would he weidaused by Spain, and • the United States could hardly refuse to grant an armistice during negotiations, which if once entered into would sure iy result in a settlement of the war involving th* indeperidefice of Cuba.

That is •a* big sum, but the figures dohot tell:, the whole story. The United States are now only laying the foundationa of a' debt, for whichtheir citizens will go on plying. Wei for a generat- ion. Even after peace is estselished- the canker of militarism will go on devouring the substance of the people; the war servants of the people will act the inastera, The Foreign Enlistment Act fortun- ately stands in the way of foolish young men in Canada , enlisting in foreign armies, and hot headed youths who want ta go to cut the shroats of Dons or Yankees, must leaves Canada to enlist. It is said that seine have applied at Consulates for information as how to enlist. Doubtless the coun- try would be well rid of some of those fel:rms. but it ii to be feared that some really useful young men are carried away by the glamor of war. It is to be regretted that this should be the case Perhaps they hear too muni of war's glory and take too little thought of its horrors: There are boys who are too tender-hearted to cut a sheep's throe., or beat the brains out of a pet cat, who in these jingo days prattle about going to war," and talk glibly ab Jut murdering their fellow men. -Just inside one of the leading drug stores of our city there is a black- board which is used very effectively for advertising pusposes, the "ads" thereon heing got up in a very catchy matter.

When opposite the post office, • the animal suddenly turned toone side, and the . waggon made a complete summer seult and landed in the middle of th it road upside down. 'Getting .clear of the rig the horse ran into the sheds at McDevit & Hereon's. Very little damage was done to the waggon, and the horse escaped unhurt. • All Advertisements Must Go It has been declared by the author- ities of the Grand Trunk Railway that all ndvertisemnts of patent medicines and other notices must be cleared out of the waiting rooms bit all stations along the line -and nothing will be allowed to be put up except raikyay time tables and notices of special rates, e -c. It has been suggerted that in place of these advertisements the rand Trunk should hang up framed pictures of natural scenery of principal points along the line. s Broke ita Leg All lovers of good horse flesh will be sorry to learn that "Old Jim," a name familiarly given to a light grey horse owned by 31r.

The animal had been •turned out to play hiniselt, and while being driven back to the livery barn, he began to kick up in play, with the result that one of his fore legs was broken at the fetlock joint, and in order to end his. sufferings, he was killed.

As deceased had not been laid aside hone the active duties of life by long illness, news of her death came startling eudder and unexpected. She is highly spoken of as a good neighbor, a kind parent; and many indeed gre those who can testify to her kindness of heart, Held in high esteem, her sudden demise brought satThess to a very large circle of friends, gained by long residence and the kindness of her disposition. The funeral took place on Tuesday, the largo gathering in attendance and numerous floral tributes, evidencing the esteetn in which deceased was held anti the symrsolw f ,lt, for the bereaved relatives. ller .40 wits fi'ty years. The deceased doubtless had her share of life's discouragernents. To her, life must have lost its charm, when she could bid a last farewell to her hived ones and then take the fatal dtaught that so quickly caused the spark of life to go out. In. every com- munity, there are those who de- light in rumors and 'sensationalism, but the Advance prefers not to deal . in these.

Cameron cO»OPEIj&TH1 E AGRICULTURE To the blitor,1 The Sentinel Over twenty-eight hnndred Ontario fermiers have received material and instructions for conducting tests upon their own farms duriag the present season. l'hese include young men who have attended the Agricultural College, successful and painstaking farmers who have experimented previously, and others who are undertaking the work for the first time. About two thousand experimenters have conducted satisfactory experi- mental work within the past ten years. Of this number, two hundred have furnished good reports for at lead three different years and some for five, six, and even mile years. These little experiment stations form object lessons in nearly every neighborhood in the province, the influence of whichlilan never be correctly estimated, To give sorneidea of this influence, I quote the following from reports sent in by ex- perimenters . "I get much beuefit from ley experi- ments and my plots are visited by !nest of my neighbors every year." "A.. a result of my experiments I raise more bushels to the acre and Make more money on my farm." - "Looking at it from a financial point of view, my neighbors have received benefit from my experimental work to the amount of • good many hundred dollars." This system of co-operistive experi- mental work in agriculture, which centers lit the Agricultural College and operates through the medium of the Experimental Union, is being en- larged and improved from year to year. A study of the fertiliey of the soil on different farms, and of the relative merits of promising varieties of ag ri c a I tura! crops for different sections, are the main subjeets under experi- ment on about twelve thousand plota this year. There are in all nineteen distinct experimenia, which embrace the agricultural crops grown on about nine tentenths of the cultivated land of Ontario. The demand has been greatest for experimenta with oata, spring wheat, peas, corn and mangels. We could still furnish i number of applicants with a package of each of Eris leading varieties of eorn, which forms a valuable test for farmers who are anxious to ascertain which varieties of corn are beet adapted to the soil of their own particular farms Agricultural College, 0.
