NOTES AND OOMMENTS Several liquor by-laws were submitted in various parts of the province to popu- lar yote at the municipal elections, and, as far as heard from, the contests re- sulted in defeats, In London the pro- posal to close saloons at seven. each evening was rejeeted by a majority of 151. Woodstock was asked to declare against shop licenses, and it declined by a majority of 257 to do so. A closer contest took place at Barrie, where only 48 votes prevented a reduction of the number of licenses. : A similar by-law in St. Marys was overwhe1ruingly de- feated. Local option was submitted in Sutherland and failed to carry. The opponents of the liquor tratlic appear to have been active, but it seems evident that the people, while desiring the suppression of the traffic, choose rather to let it work its own extinction, r ' ,'S tarsal hasIercl .,tis, 1 r1 i r au bad 10 ..l ell !s of Saginaw have been complaining of loss of trade through then, and farmers have been enable to reach markets for the sem reason. The Evening News of Saginaw is jun rated that na farmer occupied a" whole day in bringing a load °•r of produce to rite, cite, ra:tI trate a sliurt distance, too, and that he also had to remain over night to have liiswagon repaired and to rest his team.'" ltio wonder people; are leaving Michigen for the Canadian Northwesr. It seems that ,Saginaw county might have bad a gond system of road improvement in r,peration by this time had nor the Supreme Court declared the law invalid under which it vas proposed to improve the roads. Thaler the present highway laws and especially in view of the interpretation of them by the Supreme Court, system- atic road improvement is impossible. Nothing can be done says the Supreme Court, except by township highway commissioners. Such a system is pron- ounced to be barbarous. s * • The present methods of farming not only do not afiurd employment for hired help, but in the majority of instances the farmers and their sons, beyond feed- ing a few head of stock and preparing firewood, find but little to do in the way of constant and profitable employ- ment. Winter dairying offers a partial. solution to the better employment of time In the winter. Ilitherta the cows have been so tuned as to all calve in the spring of the year, just when the farmer is busy with his seeding and other ur- gent work in the spring of the year. This winter dairying is not only advan- tageous in itself, but will afford profit- able employment to farmers at a slack season of the year, not only in the mak- ing of butter, but if swine keeping be connected with it, as it should be to produce :the best results, there will be a double source of profit and employment. Then besides winter dairying, swine I feeding and keeping more stock gener- ally will lead to the consumption o{ more grain and hay, and this will mean a greater supply of ieeeuln, .sad the quotient of more manure will be increas ed fertility and better crops. Raising grain and hay and selling them all off the farm, and doing nothing for four or five months in the winter, will beggar any fernier or any country in the long run. And yet how many farmers right in this Exeter district aro doing this every year ? It may be laid down as a rule that all the wheat except for the farmer's consumption is sold. Then only about two in ten feed their coarser grains, whilst a large portion sell their hay, and leave nothing but the straw to the land. Such farming as this means soil exhaustion, poor crops and poorer farmers. The bulk of the hay that has been sold in this market this season at $6.50 and $7 a ton, and the cheap grain should have been kept at home and manufactured into butter and pork, and thus employment would have been given to farm hands, and a profitable return have been made to the husbandman both in money and in increased fertility. Of course the ways of providing farm work will vary according to locality, but that cannot be considered s properly bal anted system of agriculture that does not give some employment in winter at a rate that will . something more than pay expenses to the larger part of the, help required by farm operations in summer.
