But whilst th worked scientifically in some branch they die not snake mads scieutificall but what has the subject of good roach; do with dairyiug? There were 2,000 the factorise in Qauada,aud the cost of hauli milk on such roads as they now had in Oxford county cost 61,!100 for each faotory and this would make a total expenditure of 162,000,000 annually for merely drawing milk in the Dominion. If the roads were good this work could be done at 50 per cent, less Dost, and this would mean 04' 000,000 savedtanuually to the cheese pat- rons, or a saving of about 8 per cent, on our exports of cheese;; then what was of more vital interest than good roads to the farmers and business men of the country, Then it was a waste of mouey to have a cheese factory at 'every four corning in the county. By .neduoing the number, there would be less 'expense, if this cou be done by having,good roods, and havin the factories further apart. He though the time•had not•yet borne for the abolitio of statute labor, lent•when farmere saw tl necessity of better .roads, a better syste of roadmaking evonld be evolved. The would neve_ have ;good roads, howevee, under the statute labor system. Faraaers might be good dairymen, but they were not good roadmsdkers, and ire hoptd this was no reflection •on.their intelligence. The roadwork was done at the wron season of the year, and besides, the road making and repwiriug should go on all tie year aaonnal.

At that time they all appeared , heelthy and quite rugged. About a year after cue of the 'daughters took sigh and notwithstanding the efforts of the best medical skill, suooumbed in a short time, and was buried iu the Harristou cemetery. She wag followed within one year by her mother, her meter and two brothers. The father became ;discouraged and also tinewell and wout to British Columbia in the hope of recovering his health and spirits, but without avail, and inside of one year returned to Harristou to die au;l was placed alongside the remains of his wife and family. This wiped the whole family out with the exception of one sou, a boy then about 12 years of ago. This boy was taken charge of by au uncle residing iu Listowel, but the destroyer had not yet finialaed, and on Wednesday of hast week, oheiast of tbe family of seven passed over to the majority. The remains weebrought to Harristou for interment en Friday last and were met at the station /wet large concourse of citizens, many of whom followed their remains to the last resting place. The sad event cast a gloom,ewer the entire community, as the family 1011819 living were highly respected by all with whom they came in contact.

Then, about the climate, The climate here was more favorable to good roads thau in England anal :Scotland, for we had not such heavy and continuous raius to wash them away- Then the unsoundnes of half our horses was duo to bad roads' and a blacksmith shop was a good object lesson in bad roads. He contended that a special course should be put in by young farmers in our itgrieul•tural colleges on road making, end &nen they need not im- port engineers from towns and cities to do the work, and this would be an incentive to young men to stay on the farm. He was willing to pay toll to good roads rather than go on bad reale, but in Oxford County they were taxed to pay on bad roads between 'Woodstock and Tilsonburg, The toll roads in this county (Oxford) were an outrage to the country. There should be more improved road•malting machinery, and every county had plenty of material to make good roads within itself if, they would only use more crushers and grading machines. ilthe front of the Foresters' block.
