TME FARMER'S INTEREST.
Under the heading "Our Side of the
Que.tion." Fane and hairy speaks for
the farmer in unmistakable language.
11 says :
"The declamations of our Members
of Parlament .either for or against
reciprocity have been transferred
from Parliament Hill. Ottawa. to.
the country. For the next two
months meetings will be held by Muth
political patties in all parts of Canada,
and reciprocity will be one ofthe
principal subjects up fa discussion.
Are we farmers going to let our
M. P.'. know that we ate in earnest
when we demand that this opportun-
ity for free entry • o the United States
markets be gr..*ped? Our actions
duninr the next two months will an-
swer the question.
"Money without .Tint is beiaig spent
by the protected interests to defeat
the hill. Paid orators during the next
several weeks will paint lurid pictures
of the fatal effecti that will follow
the adoption of re.•iprocit y.
'The bill is opposer) by protected in-
terests, not because of any provision
in the hill itself that will injure thea,.
but they fear that once we h.t.e tast-
ed of liberty in buying or selling in
one litsaere•f commodities we will de-
mand the entire abolition of the pro-
tective system.
"We farmers must make our side ot
the question beard. Partners' organi-
8atlonr and individual farmers, with-
out tegattl to party- lines, Should make
it plain to politicians that the proposed
reciprocity agreement must , become
law. and that no candidate opposing
the agreement can hope for the sup-
port of Canadian farmers.'
EDITORIAL NOTES.
A bread trust is the latest. Perhaps
it will tend to encourage the home-
made hrlrad industry.
Let u+ all do what we can to wel-
come the soldier boys when they conte

uted £13,000 for • coronation gift to

fund for the King.
H. A. Vendome. editor of The Tara
Leader. is the candidate of the North
Bruce Conservatives for the Legislat-
ure. They seem to be fund of News-
paper men up in Brune. The member
for Centre Bruce. Col. Clark, is •
journalist, m is alsobia opponent at the
last election, Mr. Hunter.
Dogs will have to be on their good
behavior this summer. Several cases
of door bites have been reported
throughout the Province. and the
Provincial hoard of health is consid-
ering the advisability of ordeliog the
muzzling of the canines again. It is
to be hoped there will be no need of
such a measure.
It is pleasing to hest from one who
ought to know something about it
that Canadians are essentially a retitle
ing people. John Lane, heed of a
great publishing house of London and
New York. when in Toronto recently
stated that "the people of panda, in
proportion to population. read more
books than are read in any other'
country in the world." Mr. Lane be-
lieves that the long Canadian winter
has a great deal to do with this.
W. H. leery. a Haldimrand county
farmer. w tee to The Globe stating
that. though he has always been a
Conservative, he is decidedly in favor
of reciprocity. As one of the benefits
,vhich he believes will a.xrue from tbe
passing of tbe measure he mentions
particularly the better market for
apples which it will give theUanadian
producer. The removal of the 1-nited
States duty of 75 cents per barrel will
put tboueande of doilars into the
pockets of Canadian fruit -glowers.
A North Dakota♦ exchange (The
Hannah Jloont makes the statement
repeatedly that over three-fourths of
the people of that State are oppensed
to reciprocity with I'anaria. The pro"
posed deal, it says. i. a "gross injus-
tice" ;o the farmers. "Canadians, it
continuer. "are doubtless good neigh-
bors. but that is no reason why we
should throw our -mallets wide open
for their goals which enter into dir-
ect competition to our ow11 (fake."
Anil yet on this side of the line anti -
reciprocity politicians tell the farmers
that they will be swamped with goode
from the 1 "nited States. The Cana-
dian farmer, however. doesn't need
the politicians' aadvice; he knows the
valise of the United States market
which reciprocity will open to him.
The Weekly Sun recapitulates the
demands of t he frontiers of Cenedn as
Presented to the Government by the
monster delegation Omit visited Otta-
wa last December. and emphasizes the
statement That the tariff question is
the vital one. The farmers want free
trade in awn -laurel implement,. and
a reduction in the duty on British
goods to one-half the general rate :
hut. says The Mw., "the granting of
loth these concessions would not turn
the minds of Canadian farmers, either
east or west of Labe Superior, teem
the most important; step ot ail in
tariff reform -the opening of the
American market to Canadian farm
products. The farmers of the West
clearly realise that a full measure of
prosperity can never be attained by
thein until Chicago is open to their
beef cattle and Minneapolis to their
grain. The farmers of Ontario and
Quebec will not for a moment allow
their gaze to be diverted front that
great string of cities eitendiog from
Chicago to New York, in which, but
for the American tariff, they *could
sell their dairy. poultry. beet, hog,
barley and other products at Letter
average prices than they ran obtain
anywhere else in the world. To the
farmers of Nova Scotia, New Bruns-
wick and Prince Edward island the
greatest possible Coon would be the
opening of those teeming New Eng-
land cities that ran be reached by
water from the front of Maritime
Pronioce terms. Partners East and
West know how valuable the Ameri'
can market would be to them today.
they know it will he still more relit -
able tomorrow because the American
nation is more and more turning from
the position of a food producing to a
food consuming nation. Nothing
that plight he done in regard to the
British (market, which le far off and
has [etched its ma:imnm of develop-
ment, could compensate t'asadian
farmers for the perwnent cloning of
a market which is •t our doors and
the ezp•neion of which. from a food

FROM OUR CONTEMPORARIES.
Bleeding the Public.
Kingston Standen.
Canada wants manufactories. hut it
does not want highly over -capitalized
ousts that seek to pay dividends on
their watered stock nv bleeding the
public through higher prices.
Not a Matter of Sentiment.
8t. Thomas Tt.ses,
ff you look around your gardens
and f -,it trees these days you will find
a spe .1 brand of bug or worm busily
engae I in destroying fruit, vides,
leave - • id vegetables. And yet some
peopl• !link k is .illy and sentimental
to insist upon the prOtectioo of birds.
If it were not for the activity of the
birds, there wouldo't be much left on
earth for people to eat.
Farm Names Copyrighted.
Farmer. Advocate.
Here is an idea which looks good.
Following 'the example of Missouri,
the State of Iowa bas decided to allow
farm names to tie copyrighted. The
wan who first files a certain tatty
name with the county recorder will
sec,re.Jbe exclusive use of that name
in his county. Every farm should be
named. and this system will avoid
much confusion liable to re.. It from
the duplicati of names.
What the Figures Show.
London Advertt.er.
Canada's fifth census is being taken.
The other four yielded these results :
1871. 3,485.701
1881 .... 4,324.810
(ADI 4.833,238
1901 5.371,315
It will he noticed that the period of
most rapid growth was the decade
1871-1881. Yet many Canadians have
been taught that this country was in a
state -of stagnation before the National
Policy was introduced in 1879.

Stratford Herald.
Five years ago. no is learned from a
report of the Ontario Railway and
Municipal Hoard, there were less than
2.400 telephones in the farm houses of
Ontario ; now there are 50,400, repre-
senting a capital investment of $4,-
000.0 00, 90 per cent, of these rutal eye -
terns having been organized by farm-
er. No fact could bet tet illustrate
t he progresaivenevis of the Ontario
farmers than that. It is purely high-

Not the least of the consequences
of the revolution being wrought by
the settlelrlwwt of the West tinder the
direction of protection is the inevit-
able transfer, to this Province at
least, of politic.! power from the tarn

lose at least one seemlier, while Tor-
onto will claim, on a unit of repro-
•entation of 25.000, fifteen members.
That is especially important at a time
when the protected interests are plan-
ning to resist the farmer's struggle

M.al.d Mr. Wilson's Bore.
When the sewers of the body -bowels,
kidneys and skin ducts -get clogged flap,
the blood quickly becomes impure and
frequently sores break out over the body.
The way to heal thea. as Mr. Richard
Wilson, who lives near London, Oat..
found, is to purify the blood. Be
writes:
For some time I had been is a low,
depressed condition. My appetite pct
me and I soon began 90 suffer from indi-
gestion. Quite a number of small sores
and blotches formed all over my skin. I
tried medicine for the blood arid treed
many kinds of ointments, but without
satisfactory results. What was waned
was a thorough cleansing of the bused.
and I looked about is vain for some midi -
cine that would accoaplish this.
At last Dr. Morse's Indian Root Piike
were brought to my sake, and they en
ens of the most woe/whit m-didnes I
bays ever known. My blood was puri-
fied
