WINGHAM BRANCH: N. Evans, Manager, R. VANSTONE, Solicitor. A BETTER "WEST" AT HOME. (Farmers' Advocate.) "They're off to the West," remarked a thrifty Ontario farmer at a railroad station the other day, nodding towards a little group of men, each with a new gray telescope. And then he added, reflecting cheerfully upon his own well - ordered homestead, "There's a better Northwest at home if they would only work it." But, what's the use of talking? People will act the sheep. Twenty years ago, when economic conditions were hard in the East, and an empire of opportunity lay virgin on the Cana- dian prairie, you could hardly drag renters or hired men out there with horses, and many who did go found their way timidly back East. But once the rush set in, a Western fever spread through people's veins, and now we see thousands upon thousands leaving the finest Province in the world to gamble on wheat farming in the West. Many of them will make money for a time by increment in the value of their invest- ment, but wait till the boom subsides and economic conditions come to their level. Then they will find themselves up against a complex situation, beset with weeds, insects, crop diseases, transportation problems, and wanting fertility, without the special adaptabil- ity to clover -growing and mixed farm- ing that makes restoration of fertility comparatively easy in the East. Just now the East, with all its im- proving opportunities, may not offer quite the same chances to get rich quickly that may be run across by lucky individuals in the West, but sane peo- ple know that there are better things in life than getting rich. Anyone priz- ing the chance to make a sure, com- fortable living,'•while gradually accu- mulating a competence, following a variegated and interesting system of agriculture which develops brain power and builds character whilst rewarding toil, need look no further than Eastern Canada. Here we have a fine, steady, temperate climate, good water, good social and business advantages, and are situated on the main . line of con- tinental intercourse. Far-off fields look green, but, in point of fact, there is no better country under the sun than Eastern Canada in general, and Ontario in particular. Of course, thousands will still continue to leave it in search of fresher pastures elsewhere, and nothing that may be said or written will stop them. Let them go. There will be enough level-headed persons left to hold the heritage the movers so lightly forsake. Meantime, we would say to those who think below the sur- face, get a title to a piece of good farm land. The time is not far off when you or your heirs, holding a few hundred acres of arable land, will be indepen- dently rich. Let the crowd drift. Be wise and nold fast.

SPRING BLOOD • IS WATERY BLOOD The Quebec Legislative Assembly was dissolved Monday morning by the Lieutenant -Governor -in -Council. The nomination for general elections will take place on the 8th of May, and the polling on the 15th. Mr. Morine attempts to make a vir- tue out of resignation, but no doubt he has chosen the easier way. The inqui- sition will go on without him, and the Cananian people will be less interested in Mr. Morine's history and fate than in the fact that the Government, know- ing his record before Mr. Carvell ex- posed it to the public gaze, saw in it no disqualification. The selection of such a partisan for the work is a hint of what the commission is expected to do. —London Advertiser. Floods in the spring, drouths in the summer, are attributed to the reckless destruction of forests, which used to act as reservoirs of water, holding it back in March and April, and gradually distributing it through the summer months. Reforestration and dams are suggested as remedies. The question ought to be carefully studied. The floods not only do damage to buildings, but they wash away acres of fertile soil. In midsummer the streams run dry, and heavy loss is sustained by far- mers, and especially by stock raisers. In Alberta and in some of the Western States the value of agricultural lands has been greatly increased by artifical irrigation, which simply means the con- servation and direction of the water supply, We ought to pay more atten- tion to this question in Ontario.—Tor- onto Star. The Supreme Court of Alberta has given judgement for the province in the $7,000,000 great waterways bond suit. An order in Council has been issued at Ottawa to prevent the use of cotton seed oil as an adulerant of olive oil, by requiring the label to bear the words cotton seed oil. is the highest type of womanhood.

Spring ailments are not imaginary Even the most robust find the winter months most trying to their health. Confinement indoors, often in overheat- ed and nearly always badly ventilated rooms—in the home, the office, the shop and the school, taxes the vital'ty of even the strongest. The blood be- comes thin and watery and is clogged with impurities. Some people have headaches and a feeling of langour. Others are troubled with disfiguring pimples and skin eruptions, while some get up in the morning feeling just ss tired as when they went to bed. These are all spring symptoms that the blood is out of order and that a medicine is needed. Many people take purgative medicines in the spring. This is a ser- ious mistake. You cannot cure your- self with a medicine that gallops through your system and leaves you weaker still. This is all that a purgative does. What you need to give you health and strength in the spring is a tonic medi- cine that will enrich the blood and sooth the jangled nerves And the one Mr. G. A. Lacey, proprietor of Hills - burg Beaver, died at the age of 80 years, One hundred dollars a square foot was paid for a block of land on St. James street, Montreal. always reliable tonic and hi is Dr. Williams' Pink pills not only banish sp but guard you against ailments that folio nervous debility, i udder s. These ng weakness e more serious , ch as anaemia, gestion, rheuma- tism. and other , `seises due to bad blood. In proof of this Mrs. Emma Duck, Carleton Place, Ont., says: "I was greatly troubled with weak spells, dizziness and extreme nervousness, and did not find anything to help me until acting on the advice of an aunt I began the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. After using five boxes I found my health fully restored, and cheerfully recommend the pills to others." If you are ailing this spring you can- not afford, in your own interests, to overlook so valuable a medicine as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Sold by all medi- cine dealers or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. What Old Aunt Virginia Says. Dont tell a man with a grouch to think of his blessings. If he wanted to think of blessings he wouldn't have a grouch. The person who "told you so" is a mighty irritating specimen, but he isn't a patch on the wise guy who knew all the time you were going wrong, butwas too considerate to tell you of it. There is a current superstition that stupid women are good-natured, but don't you believe it. I never saw a stu- pid woman yet that wasn't spiteful and "catty." Men who borrow money from their woman relatives are usually very strong advocates of theory of masculine super- iority. Did you ever notice that a man very seldom sentimalizes about his "dear old mother" until after he has disgraced her and broken her heart?—Woman's World. LIVE STOUR MARKETS. Toronto, April 15 -There was a good run of cattle at the opening of this week's markets. For a while there was a lower tone to the market gener- ally, heavy cattle in particular not be- ing in very good demand. Medium butcher did no more than barely hold its own. Choice butcher, however, were in demand, and prices in this class held good and steady. Towards the close of the market there was an im- provement in tone, and cattle were selling more freely, with scarcely any perceptible declines from last week's prices. Sheep and lambs were again scarce, prices holding steady and firm. Hogs were weaker, dealers succeed- ing in lowering prices ten to fifteen cents from last week's quotations. Se- lects are now quoted at $8.50 fed and watered, and $8.15 f. o. b.
