WHAT WILL BE TILL OUTCOME?
Aprrarently the learning of trades
by young men nowadays is far too
slow ,for diem, as it takes from four
to 'live years to learn a trade, The
young people are ,now taking, up busi

teaching dentist and other profession.
Who is to take the place, of masons,
pouters, plumbers and other trades
men when they retire from tate. field?
This is going to be a serious ques-
tion in the years to come.

IMPROVEMENT CAMPAIGN RAS
RAD BENEFICTEN T RESULTS.
What is known as the Live Stock
Improvement Campaign, being car-
ried on in South Huron by the Live
Stock Departments of Canada and
Ontario for the past couple of
months, is drawing to a close as far
as this riding is concerned, and has,
we feel, been appreciated by the
farmers in general of the district.
Pure bred bulls of proper type
and breeding have been purchased
at various points in Western On-
tario, shipped in to sale stables at
Exeter and Clinton, given a clean.
bill of health by a Govt. vet. and
sold at cost phis freight. It is im-
portant to note that these bulls have
been purchased and recommended
by good, practical, live stock men.
In order to induce the farmers,
who have been keeping grade and
other inferior bulls, to ship them to
the stock yards, the Government is
paying the freight to Toronto and
the feed while there, and arrange-
ments have been made with several
commission firms to sell without
charging commission. The packers
are paying as generous prices as
possible for bulls sent in this way.
We are particularly pleased to
find that the quality of the .bulls
placed are such that live stock
should be materially improved in a
few years; and would like to men-
tion particularly as bulls ` of out-
standing merit those which were
purchased by, Oscar Klopp, of Zur-
ich.; Melvin Hern, of Usborne;
Louis Rader, Town Line; Edmond'
Wolper, Bronson Line; Simon Greib
Jos. Wildfong, and John Simpson, !,
of Usborne; and Wm. Ducharme, of
the Sauble Line.
Probably the most conspicuous
benefit of the whole campaign is
that accomplished on • the Sauble
Line around St. Joseph where im-
provement was badly needed.. These
men ,have not only put in real good
bulls to replace their poor ones, but
they are arranging to purchase
some proper good females,
,Special mention might be made of
those purchased by Mr. •'Wm. Black j
of .Seaforth. Mr. ;Black has an ex-
ceptionally good herd of well -kept
females and has placed at their.
head a splendid roan, , 'eighteen -
months -old. bull; son of "Fiscana
Ringmaster," and out of a well-
bred cow, "Martha," by "Jilt' Vic-
tor," (imp.) 1'4r. Black, more than
any farmer in South Huron, assisted
in having this campaign started
here.

Ontario is n.olted jor its extravag-
ance through unnecessary fire waste,
which is nothing short o: an economic
crime, caused chiefly through our
careless habits and indifference. It
is show/a by ;ste/tistics that 64 per
cent., or practicably two out of ev-
e. -y three fires which occur, are in
our ,hones; eighty per cent. of which
are ,preventable. Clean uo around the
home :and see if these fires cannot
be prevented to a; great extent. Last
year in Oittlir:,o t !less than 5,644
homes were destroyed by fire. This
destruction and the high cost of the
building materials, has made the prob-
lem of hous'ixtg 'the people an acute
one, We cannot; all build a home, but
we can, all try to save those that are
built.
