Regarding the establishment of a cheese and butter market in this seetion,we might say it is generally conceded that in all sec- tions of the Province where cheese is laroe- ly'mauufactured the farmers are best off ; they hays the mostreatlymoney; and their farms and homes arein the beat condition. This condition of things is borne out by personal observation; by newspaper and trade reports, and by the records and bulletins sent out from time totime from the departments of agriculture of both the Dominion and Ontario governments- So convinced are both governments of this conditton of things that they each employ an expert dairy commissioner at a high salary and keep them constautly, at great public expense, educating the farmers along the lines of dairying and urging upon them through the farmers' institutes ; through the dairy schools; through subsi- dies to winter factories; and through bulle- tins by their commissione s, to go more and more into the manufacture of cheese and butter. Oyster supper. Mr. Joseph Beck, of Goderich, District Deputy Grand Master, and the Zurich lod,!c, paid their brethren of Lebanon For- est Lodge, A. F. Bi A. M. a fraternal visit on Monday evening.

Beck was asked to say a few words, which be did in fine style. Ile showered upon the officers unstinted praise, among other things saying that he had been a Mason for twenty five years, and during this time had paid a great many visits to the different lodges, and could say that the officers of Lebanon Forest Lodge deserved the greatest praise for the very efficient manner in which they had exemplified the work ; in fact he had never seen it done better. So mush for our esteemed Master and his able subor dinates. Lodge being duly closed the visiting brethren were invited down to our worthy bro. Hawkshaw's to participate in the festivities of anoystarsupper,for which we might say bro. Hawkshaw deser yes the highest praiae for the manner in which it was gotten up.

There have been some $2 311 subscribed towards the erection of a grist mill in Exe ter, and everything is arranged Rave the site upon which to build it.

The little ones are asking when Santa Claus will come and are being answered, "just three weeks from Sunday." Pappas and mam- mas are measuring their pocket books and wondering where to spend their surplus cash to the best advantage. We suggest that all spend it in Exeter, where the lige business men always make it a point to give the most goods tor the least money. Farmers should buy less nursery truck that costs far more money than good apple t-ees They should buy „very sparingly of summer and fall varieties and put their money chiefly into winter aorta. We nam- ed some winter varieties last week, and a farmer asks this week the names for some fall varieties. A. safe fall variety for this part is the culvert ; a very choice variety is the grevenstine, and a little later the fall pippin and wealthy. But every man will have his own favorites, and of them he should buy only enough for his own use.
