Nay, so little did the good people , e the province know of ;the matter that the Company's officers were taunt ed at Toronto with - their .being taken in when they aband'oned' their portion of the Clergy , Re- serves for the Huron Tract, and they- wiere assured from unques- tianabl -authority that what por- tion of it Wesnot an. unpracticable swamp was rock and sand; and one of the largest shareholders in the province, and one who lives and .holds land within the breadthaof a township of the confines of the Huron -Tract, said that from what he had heard from men who had traversed it, he would not give 100 acres of his own .township (and hod knows, there is better land in the colony) for the best thousand acres in the Huron Tract. When, then, the 'Company purchased their lands so entirely haphazard, what right has anyone to complain of the goodness of -the bargain? Sup- pose the land had turn out as they said it would, would they have been willing to release . the Company from its part of the bar- gain and refund the money paid for the land • or expended for its improvement? But in every case where the Company's. purchase is estimated, it must not be by what is the value of the land in 1836, but what - it was in 1824, more particti.larly when• it is, remember- ed that the increase of value has been caused by the enormous in- crease of emigration which the ex- ertions of the Company- in bringing the colony into notice is the' Mother Country has produced. '"But take the bargain as it stands. We defy any man who has anything like a competent ,knowledge of the business of the province to assert that the Company has any probability of realizing an exorbitant profit. From March, 1824, till the present day, in vari- ous instalments the proprietors had paid £25 sterling per share upon 9000 shares, amounting to £225,000 sterling, to which add 20 per cent for difference of currency and exchange, and the total amount ' subscribed will give £271,000 H.C., of all which• enorm- ous sum (exclusive of the home expenses of the Company),` and all which the Company have received for the sale of -their lands for the last ten years, not" move farthing has been remitted to.England. All has been expended in the colony, an expenditure greater than that of the Legislature of the colony itself during the greater part of that period. During the two first years of the Company's operations they paid £31,000 to 'Government and £12,000 more on roads, bridges, •mills, and other improve- ments, salaries, office expenses, surveys and exploring parties. The. profits of the sales (even had they been realized, which of course they were not, being made on five ve years credit), amounted to £7,000 per. annum, a sum which would not have more than paid the cur - 'rent expenses of the Cotpany at home and abroad; and had emigra- tion continued at the same ratio `it then was, theCompany ere this must have sunk nearly .half a •mil- lion, to be recovered as best it might. The increase of emigra- tion which was caused by exertions of the Company has lessened this expenditure, butte no means sup- plied it entirely, seeing that the last call of £2 per share was paid, • EYACI . 1,.,µP -v.. • ®b aur Rest. .

Now, suppose this to be repaid at the average rate £25,000 per annum, with interest, it will 'take fourteen and., one-half years to repay the whole; that is, under all these circumstances the profits of the Company would eotn- ,mence in. the end of the year .186, or after thirty-two years from the commencement of the undertaking, and the profits would need to be something considerable to pay for the delay.

The profits of this concern have averaged 12 per cent 'per annum, which without calculating compound -=interest would nearly quadruple'- the capital originally invested, •befere the Canada Com- pany has repaid itself that which, it had expended. Faking these and the circumstances of the pro- vince into consideration at the time the ;Canada Company com- menced operations, we think it will hardly be asserted that they have made an enormously advant- ageous arrangement. "The second subject of vituper- ation against the Company is that the province has .received no ade- quate advantage by their means. We' can only judge of this by comparing what they , have done in settling their lands with what the province did of itself. Young street' is one of the oldest settle- ments 'in the province,. and not- withstanding all the statute labour (which, if faithfully expended, hight have paved it" ere this), • all that private subscription and' pro- vincial aid .has done for it, it is "not at this hour so good a ro_ as a line three times its sem' which the. Canada Company has constructed in the Huron Tract be- tween the years 1830 and 1834. At :to- the main road through the province, which was commenced' by Governor 'Simcde, it would be folly to talk of it, seeing that you .have only to quit Toronto a mile on either side to find yourself in a wilderness, where not only the road is not turnpiked but where the very trees of the forest are not cut down to the statute width.

E. Cardiff, (P.C., Huron), 'according to a report from Ottawa. The current issue of their pub- lication, Canadian Transport, quotes Mr. 'Cardiff: "It is my opin- ion that not only railway workers, but workers in almost any 'other •industry, should be glad they have a job at 'all, let alone striking for higher pay and benefits, with farm economy to the extent of 40 per cent." Clayton W. Hodgson (P.C., Vic- toria, Ont.), wrote in. part: "I think railwaymen' should be very careful not to invite trouble by asking for more money at the present time." 0 0 0 CARLOW • CARLOW, Marc1 30. —J A fair crowd was on hand -to See a "film shown by the Canadian Cancer So- ciety in the Township Hall, spon- sored by :the Colborne 'Township Federation of Agriculture and Tiger Dunlop Women's Institute. ."The Doctor SpeaksrHis Mind" was the title of the especially ' goo film on cancer.

Summer cottages, too can have these large massed beds of flowers simply by planting a few packets bf seeds in shallow flats and later taking the same to the cottage and transplanting them into perman- ent quarters. There is nothing more striking in the larger gardens, or along the driveway leading to cottage or, home than these big beds. of flow- ers either in solid colors of one variety, or of mixtures of various flowers of approximately the same height. In these larger beds we space fairly, well to permit easy and, early cultivation and we do not try to rush the season. What we are aiming at, is 'a big splash of color and a garden, which after the first few cultflra'tions will practical- ly look after itself. Solid beds of zinnias, marigolds, petunias, na- sturtiums, are particularly effective and we . can use either single var- ieties or mixtures of about the same mature height. This massed planting of flowers, is also a good 'idea to use in between newly plant' ed shrubbery which will not re- guire'full room for a year or two. Most From Vegetables In recent years a lot of garden- ers have learned that the only way to get top quality in vegetables is to grow' them at home. The rea- : n is simple. Most vegetables, and especially things like peas, corn, beans, carrots and even spinach start to deteriorate within a few hotirs after they are picked. No matter how carefully we pack they soon start to lose some of t 1 their garden freshness. Becailse this . is so, ,many people even with tiny gardens try•, to have a small Piot for vegetables tucked away somewhere. And it is . literally amazing how many good mels' can, ° be produced from a bit of land only a few yards each way.
