As Directors General of Agriculture some of our ministers are a joke. We spend mil. lions finding what to do, then neglect to tell the people—for whom the work is done, who ought to know, who want to learn—anything about it. This is a subject the press and business men should agitate. It means more money. A million spent in intelligent talks in _ the small daily and country weekly press, telling the farmers the money- making things to do—that the experts and successful farmers have discovered — and how t� de them, would produce tens of millions for distribution among all classes in Canada.

The Liberals did not offer any opposition. There are also vacancies in the provincial con- stituencies of North Perth and South West Toronto; in the former owing to the retirement of James 'Torrance, M. P. P., to become Collector of Customs for the City of Stratford, and in the second case owing to the death of Hone J. J. Foy, fcrmer Attorney General and lately Minister without Portfolio in the Conservative Government. It is not yet definitely arranged whether or not Liberals will contest these seats. J. W.

MILLER Confectioner companies, also Goderich artillery, about 480 men in all. Tuesday morning a report had gone abroad that seven vessels loaded with Fenians had landed at Bayfield, a town twelve miles south of Goderich. Well. there were some strange sights to be seen as we marched down the street. Men and women running here and there, carrying children, bed- clothes, etc., on their backs, making for the tall timbers. The whole town was excited. This all proved to be a false alarm. The soldiers were marched back to their parade grounds and dis- missed. But this alarm had spread like wildfire, and men came flocking into Guderich by the score. Some carrying guns, some with swords, others had scythes and pitchforks. You would think there was going to be a "Donnybrook fair." A few days later our steamer, the Silver Spray, that ran to Southampton, was nearing Goderich on a return trip when a black boat was seen behind her, overhauling her fast. Again the bugles sounded the fall in, the artillery took up their position on a point of a hill. They had a cannon already, the rifles behind their breastworks and the infantry h, the trenches. The boat saw the movements on land and lowered the flag, which is a sign of peace. They came in the harbor. Gen. Sherman was on board. It proved to be an American revenue cutter, "General Dix," looking for Fenians. That was about all the excitement we had. There were two British gun- boats, one called the "Rescue" and the A BAPTIST EDUCATIONAL TAG DAY One way in which the war is mani- festing its baneful influence is in drain- ing from schools and colleges young men of military age. Especially is this felt in the residental institutions of all the Christian denominations. The annual meetings of these bodies which have just been held make this abundant- ly plain. In order to make good their loss in both financial income and in students, the Baptists of Ontario and Quebec are having a special campaign. In all their churches in these two provinces. they observe Sunday, June 25th, as Educational Day. They purpose to raise $20,000 in cash and pledges. Each minister is to handle the matter in his own church. Our readers may be in- terested to see how it is done in the Baptist Church near where they live. They want students, too, for Mc- Master University and for Moulton Ladies' College, both of which well known institutions ars located in Toronto; and young men and boys for Woodstock College in the city of Wood- stock, Ontario. The two last named are residential schools, notable for their excellent equipment and moderate charges. They prepare students for matricu- lation in any University, and each has a junior department. They aim to develop the conscience and the will as well as theintellect, and so avoid the fatal effect of the German schools. There will be abundant need of such men and women when this terrible war is over if our fair Dominion is to rise to the high place which all patriotic citizens covet for it. An excellent farmers' meeting at which live problems of interest to the agriculturists of the province were dis- cussed, was held at Bowmanville in connection with the Liberal Convention for the provincial constituency of West Durham. William John Bragg, farmer of Darlington Township was chosen as the candidate for tie next provincial election. G. A. Gillespie, M. P. P. of West Peterboro and Nelson Parliament, M. P. P. of Prince Edward County, both of whom are 'farmers were the leading speakers. Patriotism was the keynote of both their addresses— patriotism both in connection with the war and the duties of Canadian citizens at home, especially in the farming industry. Mr. Parliament emphasized the need of more specialized agricultur- al education, co-operation, tile draining and rural credits. Mr. Gillespie de- voted his attention largely to the dairy- ing branch of farming, and emphasized the aggressive agricultural policy of the Liberal Party, as promulgated in resolutions in the Legislature the last two sessions. Partisan politics were not discussed. THE NATION'S BUSINESS. (From Financial Post) The abnormal rains in many parts of Canada have so interfered with farm work that it is now too late to plant many of the usual crops. Much land will go idle, or, if planted with the usual crops, will give poor results. This means farmers will have less money to spend with their local merch- ants for supplies of all kinds; manu- facturers will have fewer orders, banks will have smaller deposits, there will be less money and higher rates for invest- ment in municipal bonds and other securities. But live Ministers of Agriculture at Ottawa could have retrieved much of the situation. For the lessened farm revenues this year they will be directly to blame. At our agricultural colleges. and ex- perimental farms, we have a lot of splendid public servants. No men in Canada give better results for the money we pay them. As a result of experiments, they know exactly what it is most profitable to plant at this late date, and what is not. For example, it is too late for wheat, barley or oats, but experiments show that peas, beans, and other crops may be put in. The trouble is very few farmers know this. The Ministers of Agricultuie have not told them, or, if they have, they have used Fourteenth Century Bell Ringing methods. That is, calling meetings which few attend or sending out bulletins which fewer read, because neither are timely. All the farmers can be reached by the methods pursued by modern merchants and manufactur- ers. They talk to the people they want to teach in the papers closely read by them. There are no worth -while farm- ers anywhere in Canada who are not readers of their local, town or village, newspaper. To tell them, in the columns of these newspapers, what experiments of our best farmers show- ed, at times like this, would cost but little and lead to millions of dollars worth of increased production. The farmers are yearning for this very information.

MIER BUT STRONGER CASTORIA For Infants and Children In Use For Over 30 Years Always bears the Signature of The one source of most of the mis- ery that affects men and women and growing children is poverty of the blood. If you consult a doctor he says you are anaemic, which really means bloodless, That is what makes people drag along, always_ tired, never real hungry, often unable to digest their food, breathless after the slight- est exertion, and too often on the verge of complete breakdown. 'tl More weak, anaemic peop :.'have been made strong, energetic cheer- ful by taking Dr. William ': 'mk Pills than by any other ,. ans. These pills actually make ,:'w, rich blood which reaches every ; rt of the body, strengthens the ne • es' and brings new health and str n„ . The following is proof of Dr. It tam' Pink Pills to re- store health. ' Mr. Geo. Turner, New Haven, N. S. says:—"No doubt due to constant hard work I got in a badly run down condition. It took very little exertion to tire me, and my appe- tite was far from being good. Often I had headaches, and when going up stairs, or after any slight exertion my heart would palpitate violently, and I grew considerably alarmed about my condition. I decided to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and after using a few boxes I felt much better. I con- tinued using the pills for some weeks longer, and they completely cured me. I can warmly recommend this medi- cine to men who are weak or run down " You can get these pills through any medicine dealer or by mail, post paid, at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. fOi �:.Z:,r►w•�:...•vr•.iZ:+r.gr•r•+i rr%.�%�+s.rr.�••••.r lA Diamond Rings, f,tt Engagement Rings, Wedding Rings f.ft FOR THE JUNE BRIDE lti rtt lit T ht 0.0!ti f� ftt 1.0 til ie f' Fine Watch fit fat it 1.01 lk other the "Cherub," that patrolled the lakes at this time.

R MOONEY Great Excitement in Huron and Bruce Over Expected Fenian Raid The Kincardine Reporter publishes the following, contributed by Mr. S. McLean, a Fenian Raid veteran: On June 1st, 1860, the Fenians crossed to Fort Erie from Buffalo to take Canada. The Canadians had been expecting them for months, but the raid was made so suddenly that we were not prepared, but the news soon spread, though at that time we had no railroad or telegraph connec- tions nearer than Goderich. On the night of the 1st of June, 1866. Con- stable Trainer, of Goderich, came to Kincardine on horseback and notified Capt. C. R. Barker to muster hie com- pany, ' which be did in abort order, Capt. Daniels was notified, as was also the Paisley company. Capt. Sprat, of Southampton, got his men to- gether and was joined by the Paisley men. Sunday, June 3rd, Capt. Rowan embarked on the steamer Silver Spray with these twt, companies and cane to Kincardine. Kincardine's men marched to the dock with the band playing "Just Before the Battle, Mother." The men were all in good spirits. We boarded the vessel and started for Goderich.
