fe the fanner justifiel in believing
Ghat the first tone of the horse market
and the present high pricey for live
,tock teat upon rt seouie foundation?
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.

Tuesday and the principal item of busi;
ness was to receive a call from oee of

Rev, George E. Ross, B. D„ of Gode-

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,"

Printer's Errors
Most editors try to eliminate errors
Succeed
possible, as far as pox , but none
fully in doing so. 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

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

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

Differ-nt speakers were there too,
And behind them hung the old red,

And he was worthy of the name,
In spite of losing hie eyesight,
By the enemy's guns,
He is doing his utmost,
To get boys to fight the Huns.
Many young men stood round the

Hearing the honours of the wars

Printer's Errors
Most editors try to eliminate errors
Succeed
possible, as far as pox , but none
fully in doing so. 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
