Huron County Farm Lands could produce twice as much as they are producing to*day. Local Items The result of the voting to -clay in 1 -1m -on County ;on The Canada Tem- peraace or Scott Act, seems to be so uncertain that very few people. are willing to .even:: express an opin- ion pinion Both sides are claiming that a victory - is assured if this or that thing does nothappen, but no one is going around with any money to bet on. the result. And, in .fact, there are so many things to take into con- sideratioa that it is not to be won- dered at that the feeling is so very uncertain, It is not the number of cattle that have gone to the United States since the :new tariff came into effect that will have an injurious effect upon the future of Canada's cattle industry, but the number of such cattle 'that are females and are of breeding age that are being sacrificed, If " the .tttle sent • south, of the boundary are fit for beef and nothing else nobody suffers but the consumer who has to pay higher for his meat supply But whet, young heifers and cows that should be keptfor breeding purposes are.sent: south then both the consumer and the farmer suffers. The former because` his future meat supply ';is danger, and the latter because he will not be able to take advantage in the future of the larger market that the United States tariff has opened up for him, TAMAN'S 25 per cent.

J. G. STANBURY This co munrty.. ,deeply .reerets`tire death: on Tuesday afternoon of Mar- garet Octavia Eastwood,.'' wife of Mr. J. G. Stanbury, after a short illness. Mrs Stanbury had been ill only a week with pneumonia, and while sick se gave birth to a child on. Sunday last; She was never of a rugged constitu- tton, and owing to the illness of the children she had been confined to the house for several weeks previous to her own .illness, so that when she beca me- ,afflicted., herr e ehte e for -re=• cover•y was not of the best, and her demise came rapidly. The deceased was the daughter of the late Dr, W, 0. Eastwood of. Whitby and she had been a resident of Exeter since her marriage twelve years ago. Besides her bereaved husband she is survived by three children; also her mother who is very ill at presentin Whitby, two sisters, Mrs. Gourlay of Toronto and Miss Eastwood of Toronto, and two brothers, Dr. John H. of Peter- boro, and Charles S. of Orillia, all of whom will have the sympathy of the whole community. The late Mrs. Stanbury was a particularly bright and interesting person, of scholarly attainments, 'being an honor graduiate of Toronto University and a Special- ist in Moderns; , shewas a pleasing hostess, kind, ,affectionate and charit- able, and in every sense a womanly woman, who will be much missed by all who knew her. The, funeral takes place to Exeter cemetery Thursday afternoon at 1.30 o'clock. USBORNE PIONEER DEAD One by one the pioneers 'ofthis .lis t -et are passing away. This week we have to record the death on Jan Z2 of one of Usborne's aged and es- teemed residents in the- person of Richard Coultis, who died. at the `tome of his son, Eli Coultis, near Elim- ville, at the age of 86 years, 2 months The infirmities of old age were the cause of his demise, 'The late Mr Coultis was born in Yorkshire, 'Eng. and came to Usborne Township when a young man and has been a resident of that township for over 50 years; He was a Methodist in religion and a Conservative .in politics. His wife predeceased him several years. The remains were interred in the Elimville cemetery on Saturday and the fun- eral was largely attended.

T. Clarkson, creditor in excess of -$1,000, was made at Osgoode Hall this morning by Mr. Justice Len- nox. The order names. Mr. Clarkson' as interim liquidator, with a reference to George Kappelle; K. C. The liq- uidator is to give security to the ex- tent of $35,000. Most of the shareholders have paid theirdouble liability by subscribing, to the International Assets. Two million, three hundred thousand dol- lars double liability has already been collected from the shareholders, There remains only $700,000 to be collected,. and it is said only $150,000 of that is good THE FARMERS' SONS. Many writers seem to think that the reason why boys leave the farm is not because of the farm'itself,but be- cause there is something wrong with the boy, y dour b t th`s is true in: Nou a great many cases. ,On the other hand many cases could be cited'vhere conditions on the farm ,;were such as o drive the boys away from 'it In ninny instances boys have grown up oa, farms 'and from the time they. were able to work were, in the Hired men's class, without the hired :van's wages; On the other hand there are boys who have left comfortable homes and giver up bright prospects on farms, for the fleeting attractions of the city. When a boy: leaves the farm with nothing before him , but some laborer's job in the city he is taking chances that no boy should take Even if the work is hard and present recompense is small the boy will be ten times better off en the farm whert he comes to manhood But whatever may be the, reasons why boys leave the farm theret is no doubt that more can be done to influence boys on the farm to stay with, it. One 'ray is to get the personal in - teres: of the boy in farm work. Con- tests such as the popato growing con- test, seed selection contests, corn - judging contests ,etc., designed espec- ially for boys have a very (treat in- fluence in this direction. The boy grows something that he can call his own, and., which will bring him in a little money from prizes won on his product itself. He will thus • have a much higher appreciation of farm life - and will belikely labor farm for some other field of than the boy who has never had such opportunity. It is all very well for the farmer to say that he had to work hard when a boy and his own son should not complain if he has to do likewise Conditions how- ever have changed and the farmer who desires his boy to remain on the farm must make the life and work attractive so as to counteract the drawing power of the city, HURON POULTRY SHOW The Huron County Poultry and Pet Stock Association Exhibit was held ln, Goderich last week and seven hun- dred birds were shown.
