Successful meetings of the Dominion Cattle, Sheep and Swine Breeders' Associa- tion were held in Toronto from February 7th to 19th (inclusive. The memberships of the •Associations are at least twenty-five per cent. grcater than at any • previous period.

The privilege has been granted of allowing thoroughbred calves, sheep Or swine, lese than car load lots of over three to be penned off in one end of the car withoht being crated. For a long time this has been. a sanding griev- ance of the live -stock men throughout Ontario. • • Interprovincial tradein pure bred etork from Ontario westward to Mani- toba and the Northwest and British Columbia, arid eaitward to the maritime provinees and Newfound- land has been very large, This trade has , geen greatly assisted by the A.ssociations, both by reduced ratee and also by making up car loads of shiprecov:s already sat, thus obtaining for the small shippsr a car road rate. It is eatienated by those who are in a pesition to speak advisedly that the interproviuciel trade in pure bred stack has increased five fold duririg the pa.st year.

It is felt that Consider ably more work along thie line can vet be done which will result in the ultiniate benefit to tisk Province. The Provincial Winter Show held in Brantford in 1898 was the most successful yet held. In 1851 there were 81 entries, in 1898, 760 entries.

SCHOOL CONTEST Successful Entertainment at Holyrood The school contest held at Holyrood on Friday evening last was a com- plete success in every way. The hall was filled to the door with the most orderly and appreeiative audience we have ever seen, Lot a discordant note throughout the evening, which called forth strong expression of.praise from those who addressed the gathering at its close. The President of the Library Association acted as chair - maul while Messrs. Cameron and Murchison, of Lucknow, were the judges. Five schools competed, and while only two could get the prizes, the work of each school was exceed- ingly well done, and it was remarked by the judges, that each school excelled in one of the subjeets, tbe first prise going to S. 8. .No. 5, and the second prize going to S. S. No. G. One feature that was pleasant for both the chairman and the audience, was the promptness with which each scholar responded to the call to do his or her part, thus not a minute of time was lost and a long and varied programme was finished by 10.30. Suth,contests roust have great value as educational factors in bringing out latent talents and developing lines of education that are sometimes too much neglected. The Public Libraey Association Board, recognizing this fact and desiring as they have always done in the past, to promote the cause of education, intend ta hold just such another contest probably during Dec,ember, so that teachers who have commenced to teach in any of the competing schools will have a better - opportunity to train their scholars than they would have if the contest was held at the beginning of the year, and while the same general Linea will be followed, some changes wilt be made that will enable -the teachers to introduce any special talent they may have in their schools, and some improvements in the method of giving marks that have been suggested by the gentlemen who judged last Friday evening, may be introduced. had endeared herself to all who knew -Don't miss eeeine the Mayor of her, and in her sad and uetimely Perth Scotland) and his five Jamies in their great dance, ehown by the Zenomettoscope in Town Hall hero Thursday, Friday and Saturday even- ings, March 2nd, 3rd and 40.

'The object ef appointing these Visiting Committees is, that they may keep "The Children's Aid Soci- ety" advised of what aid is necessary and where any child may be placed for maintenance in any of the Ridings, and that the Committee and that Bid- ing may appoint one or more of its members to see that the child gets care and attention. No Otlicer of this Society receives any remuneration. It is wholly a Benevolent Society, the members of which voluntarily contribute a cer- tain sum, 50 cents to become mem- bers, but of course any one desirous of contributing more may do so, and by contributing a certain sum may become a life member It is hoped that benevolent people throughout the County will aid the Society by contributions. At present, municipalities are charg- ed with the maintenance of the poor and neglected children, but their care is not attended to syatemati- cally. Some children have been placed in homes by the County but there is no one to inspect their homes or to see that they are being proper- ly attended to and receive education. It is expected too, that this Soci- ety, if successful, will relieve the County from the mainlenance of children at Toronto Institutions where e2.00 a week each is paid for their maintenance. Several children are maintained in Toronto by the County. It is expected that such children may be enaintained within the County, and under the inspec- tien of The Chtldren's Aii Society and Riding Committees for inuch less money. If the Societe can show that this is being done, they will expect to be aided by the County and Municipalities. It is well to understand that this Society is not at all a Society for the benefit of Walkerton alone, but for the whole County, and its opera. dons will be carried on throughout for the whole County by the assistance of the above Visiting Committees.

DEAR Sia.-Cobourg is ode of the most historic towns in the province as far as associa.ious with men who rank high in ehe world's esteem go to give history to a town. It was at one time the seat of Victoria College and hiraday Hall and many prominent leen were in those days -congregated here, -not only the great meu of the Methodist church, but also men fame in politics, in education, traNel and in many other branches. PreLably no other town of its size in Ontaiio can boast of a greater number of distingu. ished people IIS citizens or as tisitorte From a leng list beforie me I shall only mention a few: Lord Dufferin, Lerd Lerne, Princess Louise, Prince of Wales, Lord Elia, Dr. lalmiage, Fred Douglis. the colored orator of he South, Bishop Wm. Taylor, Elihn illrrit the "learned le!a smith," Me, k Goy Pearse, Neal Dow, slrenetal Tom Thumb, Egerton Ryerson, Dan God- frey the renowned English bandmaster, besides many of the early ministers and evangelists and nearly all of our Ontario and Dominion politicians. Revs. G. R. Turk, P. g. Nugent, T. S Cslling, T. B. Wallwin, John Kenner, and others of the Lucknow pastors are well known here. During the past few months the angel of death has frequently visited the homes of Cobourg and claimed now a child, now an old man, and now oue apparently in the prime of life. Many have crossed the "Great Divide" and the places that so lately knew them, now know them no uaore forever. " Since leaving Lucknow many whom I once knew have been summoned to the Spirit land. Their familiar faces are no longer seen in their aecustomed places. They are missed on the street and in the home. When death lays its hand upon those with whom we have been associated, we begin ta feel ourselves in he presence of God and eternity. " Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord." I lately read a book which I would recoinmead to all the young people of Lucknow. It is written by Dr. Wm. Thayer and is entitled "Onward to Fame and Fortune." It is as the pubrishers truly say " worth its w eight in gold," if its principles are lived -to, It is for all young people irrespective of denomination, nationality, or calling. It language is beautiful, its thought forceful, and its purpose noble. It will prove to be of incal culable worth to the careful reader. I noticed in a late issue of your paper the number of- Woks in your public library. I trust that among them are the works of two Canadian authors, Gilbert Parker and Chas D. Roberts. Parker's "Battle of the Strong" is at present one of the most popular books in 13ritain and the United States. ltobert's Icest book if I remember rightly is called "A Sister to Evs,ngeline," and is a worthy successor, so the critics say, tol his " Forge in the Forest.- Ano er Canadian aethor whose books will be enjoyed by the boys is J. McDonald Oxley, author of ." Fergus McTavish," "Archie of Athabasca," etc. These are all Canadian books and should receive a prominent place in Canadiali libraries. of in -4N111111111111111111111112111 Air* Tel 1 THINKINt -4701-771-7- BUYING.
