Slay he look forward with any coitfld- ence to the next season's or next year's market? Sbonld he prepate, as against an advertised shortage and nigh prices for all classes of farm ani• mals, by breeding a larger number of snares or of cows, sheep, bogs and p ultry? We are confident that the termer has never been in a more secure uosition than the present, as regards the extension of hie breeding opera- tions, but, to enable him 1 o form more easily his own conclusions, the follow- ing facts are submitted: Horses:—Since the outbreak of the war, the British Remhunt Commission has purchased in Canada 15,000 horses. 8,000 have ,boen bought by French con- tractors and 25,000 by the Canadian Department of Militia. The Depart- ment of Militia is now engaged in buy. ing an additional thousand head. The British Remount Commiesion has pur- chased over 700 since March and is buying daily in Montreal. French nontractore are wnxioue to obtain' sup plies and are arranging to buy all that are available both in the East and in the West. It is understood that, as a result of the purchases already made, army buyers are finding it increasing- ly difficult, both in United States and In Canada, to readily secure the num- ber of horses which they require, par- G'cularly of the type suitable for heavy cavalry or heavy artillery, In addition to the purchases for army account, commercial activity from two distinct quarters has exerted a very evident influence upon the Canadian horse market during the past three or four months. Since the beginning of the year, 0,000 horses reached the Winnipeg Stock Yards from Eastern Canada and 5,917 were shipped from the same yards westward, mostly to Saskatchewan' During the months of January, February and March, 1,805 horses were exported to the Unit- ed States. A few hundred more went forward to the same market in April The horses exported were good farm chunks weighing from 1,300 to 1,500 lbs. As high as $500.00 a pair was paid for animals possessing extra qual- ity and conformation. This new move meat in the horse market ie having its effect upon prices all over Canada, Buyers report that the better classes of drafters and farm chunks are •get- ting scarce and hard to buy. The same holds true of good big roadsters and saddlers. The noticeable scarcity of good horses of these descriptions il- lustrates the fact that demand has al- ready overtaken supply and makes it very evident that all the really good sound mares in the country should 10 mated only with strictly high cisme sires. The number of horses rejected by army buyers clearly indicates that there is no place for the unsound horse or the misfit. Such animals have been, are now and always will be a drug on the market. Breed to the hest if you would have the best. Un- sound or malformed mares are just as next as unsound stallions. It is easier to raise a good anim.l than a poor one. Manage the work this spring in order that the best mare on the farm may be regularly returned to the horse. Next year, a good crop of sound, healthy colts will be as good as a bank account Canada is likely to enter .shortly the commercial export market and that market will require all you can pro- duce. W hitechitrch The 52nd anniversary services of the Whitechurch Presbyterian church will be held on Sunday and Monday May 28th and 29th. Th service*. on Sunday at 11 a.m and 7 p.m will be•conducted by Rev. E F. McL. Smith, B.A. of Hensall The choir will take part in all the services.

Mr. Ross has been there dur- ing the past eight years and his departure is regretted, Front a Detroit paper we learn of the death of Dr. McMichael on Friday, April 28th. His death resulted from blood poisoning augmented by Bright's dis:ase. Dr. McMichael was born in Gorrie in 1860 and was the eldest son of the late Dr, afcMichael, one of the first physicians in this section. Constable Collins of Kincardine took a man named Amos Fritzell, of Kinlough, to the Walkerton goal on Wednesday. Fritzell appealed before Magistrate John- ston of Kinlough on a seduction charge on Tuesday and was remanded until the 17th. He is over 70 years ot age and has two sons at the font, At a special meeting of the Clinton Council it was decided to ordera tank car of oil to be used on the principal streets, instead of water as formerly, All the principal streets of the town are macada• mized, and it is expected that the oil will not only snake the streets dustless, but preserve the roads. • Samuel Hildred, a Kincardine township farmer, threshed about forty bushels of - sweet clover, the turnout of four acres of land. The seed was from the second cut- ting and of excellent quality and is selling at ten dollars a bushel.

Rollinson, harnessmaker, .who en• listed some weeks ago at Auburn, has disposed of part of his stock to Mr. Den. stedt. Having received word to report for duty he was obliged to close his shop.

Huron Presbytery suet at Clinton on Tuesday and the principal item of busi; ness was to receive a call from oee of the leading churches in Mo.treal to Rev, George E. Ross, B. D„ of Gode- rich, There were present from Monts real Rev. James McKay, R. W, Gass and Alex. Nichol, who represented the Montreal Presbytpt•y, and the St. Mat' thew's Church, and after listening to the deputation the call was unanitnogsly received and indorsed, the inductio*to take place Sunday, May 21, St. Mat- thew's Church is in the Point St. Charles district, and presents a great opportunity for work among the young people for which Rev. Mr. Ross is specially fitted. Rev. James Hamilton, Goderich, was elected Moderator of the Presbytery. The move made on behalf of Mr. John l3eyford of Goderich, to quash a search warrant and conviction for unlawfully keeping intoxicating liquor for sale, cons trary to the provisions of part II, of the Canada Temperance Act, has not beep sustained, On Monday of this week Mr. Justice Riddell gave out the following judgment at Osgoode Hall, Toronto:— "Here the reasons for suspicion are i-tliat the deponent knows that intoxicate rng liquor is being brought to the hotel and persons are resorting there, as the deponent bac good reason to believe, fo the purpose of drinking the same.' It is impossible, I thi ik, to say that the magis- trate should not consider the above a reasonable ground of suspicion. The search warrant should not be quashed. A tavern keeper who keeps his bar -room door bolted, to be opened to admit such persons as he chooses, who keeps whiskey glasses, alt smelling of whiskey (most of them very strongly), who rings up the price of two drinks in his bolted barroom just before two men come out of it, and who can give no reason why he should— one of whose customers is seen to take a drink from one of the whiskey glasses, followed by a drink of water -cannot complain if the magistrate comes to the conclusion that lie was selling whiskey or liquor.', Men have suffered long terms of imprisonment on less evidence. The motion must be dismissed with costs," THERECUiTINU MEETING There was a recruiting meeting Inthe town hall the other night, Where speeches and also good singing Which was to everyone's delight.

One paper estimat- es that in a eentence of fourteen letters it is possible to makeover three million errors by transportation of letters. What infinite possibilities, therefore, in a whole paper. A New York publisher once undertook to print a book absolutely free from er- rors. The proofs were read by eight or ten expert readers, and every line and word was subjected to close and repeated scrutiny. Yet when the book finally appeared a glaring error was found on the front page. One nt our school exchanges tried to get a perfect issue, typograpically. But the California News points that the out editor did not eVon succeed in getting his own name right. 'Nihon the only book ever issued free from errors is some editions of the Oxford Bible.

He is over 70 years ot age and has two sons at the font, At a special meeting of the Clinton Council it was decided to ordera tank car of oil to be used on the principal streets, instead of water as formerly, All the principal streets of the town are macada• mized, and it is expected that the oil will not only snake the streets dustless, but preserve the roads. • Samuel Hildred, a Kincardine township farmer, threshed about forty bushels of - sweet clover, the turnout of four acres of land. The seed was from the second cut- ting and of excellent quality and is selling at ten dollars a bushel. The first crop taken off the same field was worth, as fodder, about $100, making, a total of about $500 from the four acres, A. Rollinson, harnessmaker, .who en• listed some weeks ago at Auburn, has disposed of part of his stock to Mr. Den. stedt. Having received word to report for duty he was obliged to close his shop. The people of Auburn and surrounding country will miss Mr Rollinson and his harness shop, which was one of the con- veniences of the village. Mr, Wm. Glen. ex -reeve of Stanley township, having definitely decided to retire from the active duties ot the farm and to locate in Clinton, has bought the northwest corner of what has long been known as the Capt. Sheppard property, on Joseph St. He has had plans pre- pared and during the coming season will have a neat residence with modern im- provements erected. 300 WORK neatly and promptly done at TIM ADVAMl:li Ol+b'Ic1 , Cheque for $1,500 in payment of be. quest, under the will of the late Chas, H. Pearo, Uxbridge, has been received by the Muskoka Irree Hospital for Consump: tives. Several other legaeies of varying amounts have recently been advised, and from the number of inquiries from lawyers and others (with reference to wills) it is evident that the work of this institution is becoming widely and favorably known. Huron Presbytery suet at Clinton on Tuesday and the principal item of busi; ness was to receive a call from oee of the leading churches in Mo.treal to Rev, George E. Ross, B. D„ of Gode- rich, There were present from Monts real Rev. James McKay, R. W, Gass and Alex. Nichol, who represented the Montreal Presbytpt•y, and the St. Mat' thew's Church, and after listening to the deputation the call was unanitnogsly received and indorsed, the inductio*to take place Sunday, May 21, St. Mat- thew's Church is in the Point St. Charles district, and presents a great opportunity for work among the young people for which Rev. Mr. Ross is specially fitted. Rev. James Hamilton, Goderich, was elected Moderator of the Presbytery. The move made on behalf of Mr. John Beyford of Goderich, to quash a search warrant and conviction for unlawfully keeping intoxicating liquor for sale, cons trary to the provisions of part II, of the Canada Temperance Act, has not beep sustained, On Monday of this week Mr. Justice Riddell gave out the following judgment at Osgoode Hall, Toronto:— "Here the reasons for suspicion are i-tliat the deponent knows that intoxicate rng liquor is being brought to the hotel and persons are resorting there, as the deponent bac good reason to believe, fo the purpose of drinking the same.' It is impossible, I thi ik, to say that the magis- trate should not consider the above a reasonable ground of suspicion. The search warrant should not be quashed. A tavern keeper who keeps his bar -room door bolted, to be opened to admit such persons as he chooses, who keeps whiskey glasses, alt smelling of whiskey (most of them very strongly), who rings up the price of two drinks in his bolted barroom just before two men come out of it, and who can give no reason why he should— one of whose customers is seen to take a drink from one of the whiskey glasses, followed by a drink of water -cannot complain if the magistrate comes to the conclusion that lie was selling whiskey or liquor.', Men have suffered long terms of imprisonment on less evidence. The motion must be dismissed with costs," THERECUiTINU MEETING There was a recruiting meeting Inthe town hall the other night, Where speeches and also good singing Which was to everyone's delight.

One paper estimat- es that in a eentence of fourteen letters it is possible to makeover three million errors by transportation of letters. What infinite possibilities, therefore, in a whole paper. A New York publisher once undertook to print a book absolutely free from er- rors. The proofs were read by eight or ten expert readers, and every line and word was subjected to close and repeated scrutiny. Yet when the book finally appeared a glaring error was found on the front page. One nt our school exchanges tried to get a perfect issue, typograpically. But the California News points that the out editor did not eVon succeed in getting his own name right. 'Nihon the only book ever issued free from errors is some editions of the Oxford Bible. When the first of these was issued the publishers offered a guinea for every error discovered by anyone and this s plan soon resulted in e detecQ i o n and elitninatlon of ell mistakes, Men's Spring Suits WE hay( just passed into stock this last week a full range of Men's Suits in all the attest shades and cuts.
