Tt is computed that one person in every thirteen of our population car- ries a life insurance policy, which in- dicates that the heads of families who are without insurance of some kind are very few in number. It is Well within the merk to say that itt no other country of six million people is there so large an amount of insurance carried as in the Dominion of Canada, If the returns of the Province of Ontario were separated from the total it would plobably be found that this province carries more insurance per head of population than any state, province or country in the world. It is e most gratifying thing to all who take an interest in the well-beiog of the Dominion to learn that the help- less ones are to such a large e: tout protected, and to see that those who are responsible for the care and main- tenance of the non-productive portion of the community are willing to make sacrifices to preserve dependent ones from want, in case of their death. These figures also indicate a measure of prosperity in the Dominion that it would be difficult to parallel in any part of the world. The whole picture hich includes a sense of responsi- bility, a desire to meet it, and the ability to fulfil it -is one that sociel economists should be pleand to look upon.

Of Agricultural Implements in Luck- ' nOW. The largest delivery of agricultural implements ever held in Western Ontario, took plree in Lucknow on Wednesday last, under the auspices of Mr. William Allin, the local agert here of the Alaisey Harris Company, of Toronto Neariy the whole fore- noon was tilken up in loading the machines on the farmers sleighs at the station, and this having been success- fully accoinplished, the farmers, representatives of the company and several of our leading citizens were invited to dinner at the Cain, the Mc- Garry and McDa‘itt Houses, where everything necessary to supply all the wants of the inner man were abuni- atitly provided. About two o'clock the owners of the rigs hitched up, found into procession, and headed ey the splendid hrass baud of the Lucknow musical society, drove around a couple of blocks and then back on to the main street again at the town hall. Nothing has ever been seen in this part of the province to equal it, and as the one hundred or more double sleighs, all heavily ledea with machines passed down Camabell street it presented an im- posing sight, and one that could not fail to impress the onlookers with abundant proof of the prosperity of the farming community in tlai section at the present day. It would be difficult to say just how much money was paid out by the puruhasers for theses machines, but we don't think it would be too much to say that fully eight thousand dollars worth of implements were represented in the delivery, for the thirty-sevel binders alone cost nearly 85,000. On reaching the corner of Campbell and Inglis streets, the teams lined up along the street, and a photograph was taken by Mr. T. L. Treleaven. Among the representa- tives of the Massey Harris Company present were General Manager Thoe. Johnston and Mr. A. Southeran, of Toronto. Mr. Allin is one of the most extensive dealers in agricultural itnpleruents in Ontario and the great success of bus big delivery on Wed- nesday was not only gratifying to him- self and his able st3ff of agents, but it also afforded our citizens a uplendid opportunity of judging of the enor- mous amount of business that is done by one of oar most enterprising and energetic business men. Among tin M usicia ns A difficult programme of ensemble work was rendered Wednesday even- ing at studio, 16 Exchange Palace building,before a large andienthusiastic audience that had assembled to listen to the pupils of Ida May Miller. They were assisted by Mrs. Daisy Otis Bennet, vocalist, Agnes Wilson, elocutionist, and 'Messrs. Feasler ard Moore, banjoists. The whole pro- gramme was carried out with credit to the performers, and painstaking training by their teacher. Special mention should be made of a trio by four little ones, Misses Ethel Auder son, Florence Yorkey, Nellie Prighe and Fred Horstman. They executed their number.; beautifully and in ex- cellent time for being so young. A pleasant feature of the evening was the banjo music of Messrs.- Feaster and 5.1 oore. Miss Agnes W ilson captivated the audience in her usual good style, being recalled repeatedly. Mrs. Daisy Otis Bennett, sang "A Stranger's Story" with Gerald Lane's "Tatters" for an encore which de- lighted the heareri.

The Beat Seeds Absolutely Necessary We cannot t strcagly nor too often urge the supremo importance of planting seeds thet are perfectly pure amid fresh. Seeds that, are offered at cheap prices are almost invarially of dcubly origin and uncertain age, sure to cause the planter disappointment and love The thoughtful planter'a only surety lies in buying seeds sent out by a conscientious and trustworthy house. A vast number of gardeners have (and have had for years) the utmost confidence in seeds that bear the name D. M. Ferry & Co., Wind- sor, Ont. The present generation of planters, can hardly remember the time when Ferry's Seeds were not on sale everywhere each year and as regularly planted by thousands, -with the greatest faith in the unvarying quality of the seeds and in the in- tegrity of the firm that grew tiheris. Every planter, whether already a buyer of Perry's Seeds or not, should send for Ferry's Seed Annual for 1899. It is meiled free to any one who writes for it.
