BETTER FARMING
CONDITIONS NEEDED.
The Toronto World (W. F. McLean s
paper) says:
The World would like to know where
the Honorable James Duff, Minister of
Agriculture is at this moment. He
has undertaken the job of looking after
the interests of the farmers and im-
proving farming conditions in On-
tario.
What has he to say to the fact that
thousands and thousands of calves are
being unne,essarily slaughtered in On-
tario this very year, when they should
be kept and fed for beef? A beef
famine threatens the whole country,
and nothing pays so well as raising
beef cattle if intelligently followed.
Does Mr. Duff know that there's a
lot of God -forsaken farming being
done in this Province under his super-
vision, and that he ought to get busy
on the job of reforming it? So far as
we can see, half the cause of bad far-
ming in Ontario is made up by bad
roads, by lack of drainage and by ne-
glecting to raise sufficient feed. Many
of our farmers are muddling through
as best they can and as easy as they
can for some reason or other. If the
roads are bad they won't buy and haul
feed and they get through as easy as
they may.
They want to get wakened up, and
Mr. Duff has undertaken the job of
doing it. Is he wakening them up?
Is he getting them good roads? Is
he teaching them how to drain their
land? Is he showing them how much
more money they can make by selling
a steer at $70 than they can make by
selling a calf for $4? If Mr. Dull has
not something better to suggest he
ought to let someone else try. Sir
James Whitney is equally responsible
with Mr. Duff. This a very busy
world these days, and men who under-
take public responsibilities must dis-
charge them or let someone else try.
Also, the sale as well as the slaught-
er of brood stock to -day is one of the
crimes in Ontario, and Ontario will be
a poor farming Province if this is al-
lowed to continue.
As we said, Mr. Duff must waken up
the farmers and show them how tQ do
their duty to their land and to their
country, and to their herds.
But has anybody seen the farmer
general for some days past? Perhaps
he is at home on his own place getting
a new tooth put in his horse rake
against the emergencies of the hay
harvest which ought to be on next
week! But Ontario is falling away as
a Province of good farming.
Information to Patients.
Upon the proclamation bringing the
new regulations under the Public
Health Act into force, the task of
sending information to all tubercular
patients, who will be reported under
the provisions of the act affecting com-
municable diseases, the best methods
to be adopted looking towards proper
sanitation and ventilation and treat-
ment. This information is to be sent
to each patient as confidential matter,
no publicity is to be employed, the
board exercising its office merely to
asssist the patient towards recovery, as
well as to prevent the spread of the
disease. Distribution will be in charge
cf Dr. J. S. W. McCullough, Secretary
a the Provincial Board of Health.
One fact stands out from this motor
car problem very plainly; and that is
that, while the horse is naturally a
more r'angerous citizen of the highway
than the automobile, the automobile
dors more damage. Any motorist will
admit that he can stop his car more
*sickly then a d.iaer can stop his
horse. 'i'hen, a car dces not fling out
irc,.^. !roofs id front of it when it is
stopped. Still, the horse does not kill
people like the car. Yet there are ten
horses on the streets for every motor.
What is the answer? Surely it can
only be that the motor is driven more
recklessly. When the chauffeur is as
careful as the driver, the problem will
be solved. And why shouldn't he be? -

crop this year.
Hundreds of people from all parts of
Ashfield and West Wawanosh and oth-
er points within a radius of twenty miles
attended the grand picnic held on Domin-
ion Day in Wallace's grove under the
auspices of the St. Augustine Catholic
Church; the event was a grand success.
All forms of amusement and music were
provided and much interest was mani-
fested in adrawing contest. Rev. Fath-
er Laurendeau, of South London, form-
erly parish priest here, was present
and was greeted by his old parishioners.
GOD ERICH.
Goderich was visited on Monday by
the Minister of Public Works, Hon. F.
D. Monk, on his tour of inspection of
principal ports between Montreal and
Fort William. The Minister arrived on
his yacht Speedy, and as he entered
the harbor was tendered a salute by
the whistles of all the important in-
dustries located at the harbor and the
steamers in port. On landing he was
received by a deputation of local offici-
als, the Mayor, President of the Board
of Trade, and introduced b;y
the member for West Huron, Mr.
E. N. Lewis. He was shown around
the harbor, and viewed the extensive
engineering works in connection with
dredging and breakwater improve-
ments now being carried on. The
Minister expressed himself as highly
appreciative of the geopraphical ad-
aantages of Goderich as a growing lake
port, and was particularly desirous of
securing permanent breakwater pro-
tection and instituting more extensive
dredging operations commensurate with
the rapidly increasing grain, flour
and lumber trade.

LINE STOCK 11I,4RK,ETS.
Toronto, July 8 -Union Stock Yards
-Receipts were 100 loads, with 1,902
head of cattle, 580 sheep and lambs,
516 hogs and 122 calves.
The weather to -day opened fair, with
a good demand for choice export and
butcher. The former sold fairly
steady. A.W. McIntosh taking nine or
ten loads of the choicest cattle for
Schomberg and Sons at from $7.65 to
$8.10. A few choice butcher cattle sold
up to $7.50, but after this there was a
decided change in the tone of the mar-
ket, and trade became very slow, the
medium and poorer qualities of butcher
finding a very poor demand. Prices in
this class went off fully 25 to 50 cents,
cows and bulls declining sharply. The
hot weather and the poor quality of the
bulk of the cattle offering were the
chief causes for the declines and the
slower market.
Sheep and lambs were steady.
Hogs were 15e off, at $7.50 f. o. b.
