EDITORAL NOTES.
Farmers need not fear that enough
corn and cattle will ever be raised
again to make the business unprofitable
which it has been at times in the past
to the small farmer. Prices will not
sink again to the levels of early days.
The demand for meat is increasing
enormously because of the increase in
population owing to immigration and
natural causes. Brantford Expositor.
John Joynt, of Lueknow, who re-
cently resigned the Presidency of the
North Huron Conservative Associa-
tion, has endorsed Mr. Rowell, leader
of the Liberal party in the Province of
Ontario. Mr. Joynt has the offer of
several constituencies as a Rowell can-
didate;. and it appears to us that public
opinion will force him into being a can-
didate for Parliament. --Ripley Express.
"It is not Sir Wilfrid's Laurier's
fault, but Mr. Borden's, that there is
strong division of opinion in Canada on
naval question, lie Was the first Cana-
dian ever to unite his countrymen upon
the subject, and full credit has never
been vouchsafed him for the great work
die thus accomplished. That work was
largely nullified by Mr. Borden's ac-
tions, and it is difficult to treat with
patience a
from t
hi
p
de-
stroyer of harmony that Sir Wilfrid
should now come to his aid in the task
of restoring unity of opinion and pur-
pose Mr. Bordon has made his bed.
Let him lie on it. -Montreal Herald.
An informal meeting of the Dominion
Liberal chiefs was held in Sir Wilfrid
Laurier's office at the House of Com-
mons at Ottawa last week, at which
tentative arrangements were made for
the autumn tour of Sir Wilfrid, which
has been under contemplation since the
House prorogued. Sir Wilfrid will
leave Ottawa on Aug. 27, and proceed
to the coast to attend the forestry con-
vention, to be held at Vancouver on
Sept. 4. He will also visit other impor-
tant centres in British Columbia, and
on his return trip will visit the princi-
pal cities of Alberta, Saskatchewan
and Manitoba. On his return he will
take a short rest, and then proceed on
a tour of New and Old Ontario about
the middle of October. The dates for
the latter tour will be arranged by
Chief Whip Pardee and Hon. Charles
Murphy, the task of choosing the points
of visit being a difficult one owing to
the numerous invitations which have
been received from all parts of the pro-
vince. Sir Wilfrid will spend about a
week in New Ontario, and while there
will inspect personally the line of the
"-National Transcontinental Railway.
HOW TO KiLL FLIES.
The hot weather season makes it im-
portant to know something about the
newest methods of getting rid of flies.
To clear a room of flies, carbolic acid
may be used in this way: - Heat a shov-
el or any similar article and drop there-
on twenty drops of carbolic acid. The
vapor circulating through the room
will kill the flies.
A cheap and perfectly reliable fly
poison, one which is not dangerous to
human life, is bichromate of potash in
solution. Dissolve one dram, which
eau he bought at any drugstore, in two
ounces of water. and add a little sugar.
Put some of this solution in shallow
dishes and distribute them about the
house.
Sticky fly -paper and liquid poisons
are among the things of use in killing
flies, but the latest, cheapest, and best
is a solution of formalin or formalde-
hyde i 1 water. A spoonful of this
lipoid put into a quarter of a pint of
wat4 r and exposed in the room will be
enough to kill all the flies.
To quickly clear the room where
there are many flies, burn pyrethrum
powder in the room. This stupefies
the flies, when they may be swept up
and burned. Pyrethrum powder is
harmless and is made by grinding the
dried flowers of a plant. Moisten the
r owder a bit, press it into a little cone,
and light the top of it with a match.

A CREED.
Let me be a little kinder,
Let me be a little blinder
To the faults of those about me,
Let me prase a little more;
Let me be, when I am weary,
Just a little bit more cheery,
Let me serve a little better
Those that I am striving for.
Let me be a little braver
When temptation bids me waver,
Let me strive a little harder
To be all that I should be;
Let me be a little meeker,
To the brother that is weaker,
Let me think more of my neighbor
And a little less of me.
Let me be a little sweeter,
Make my life a bit completer,
Just by doing what I should do
Every minute of the day:
Let me toil without complaining
Not a humble task disdamg,
Let me face the summons calmly
When death beckons me away.
FIFTY THOUSAND MEN REQUIRED.
Farm Laborers' Excursions -This Year's
Wheat Crop Will be the Largest
in the History of Canada.
The wheat crop of 1912 will be the
greatest ever harvested in Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta, thus re-
quiring the farm laborers of the East
to recruit and assist in harvesting the
World's greatest bread basket.
The Governments of the respective
Provinces state that fifty thousand men
will be required for this year's harvest.
These will have to be principally re-
cruited from Ontario, and the prosperi-
ty of Canada depends on securing labor
promptly. The Canadian Pacific, on
which Company will fall practically the
entire task of transporting the men to
the West, is already making special ar-
rangements for this year, Excursions
from points in Ontario to Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta, will be run
and special trains operated, making the
trip in about thirty-six hours and
avoid-
ing any change of cars or tranfers.
This will be a day shorter than any
other route.

nn-
ipepup to , CalalMacLeodr gy m Ed-

Field Crop Competition.
East Huron Agricultural Society con-
ducted a Standing Field Crop competi-
tion again this year, the crop being
oats. There were 22 entries and the
expert judge, A. Hood, of Millikin,
sent by the government was here and
made the following awards: -
1st, $20, W. Moses, Grey Twp., 81;2
points.

points.
6th, $6, R. H. Hoover, Grey Twp., 78;4

7th, $4, Robt. Nichol, Morris Twp., 78
points.
Several others gave the prize money a
close run. The lowest field was given
64 points. Vice President Robb accom-
panied Mr. Hood as guide to the vari-
ous farms. Fifteen of the competitors
were residents of Grey township and 6
lived in Morris. $50 of the amount is
contributed by the Provincial govern-
ment and judge's fee and expenses is
also paid from the Provincial treasury.
This leaves $25 to be provided by East
Huron Agricultural Society. First 5
prize winners are eligible to exhibit
grain in sheaf at the National Fair and
also to exhibit at the Provincial Seed
Fair. $8, $6, $5, are the awards offer-
ed for sheaf display. Each sheaf must

be carefully selected from the best
grain in the field, neatly bound by hand
and must be boxed and shipped to J.
Lockie Wilson, Horticultural Building,
Exhibition Park, Toronto, not later
than Aug. 21st. Express charges will
be paid by the Government. Grain
prizes for the best 2 bushels of grain

ment of Agriculture will supply stencil-
ed and numbered sacks on application
to those who make entry. Winning
grain will be retained by the govern-
ment for experimental purposes. Other
grain will be sold to best advantage
and money forwarded to owners. Those
who wish their grain returned will have
to pay return express charges on the
same.
A Woman's Tongue.
Six women can tack all at once at the
same time and get along first rate, and
no two men can do that. - Anonymous
A woman has often committed herself
talking but never by holding her tongue.
-Punch,
(But there's no fun in holding your
tongue),
The tongue of woman is her sword,
and she takes care not to let it rust. -
Chinese Proverb.
It is better to dwell in a corner of tl-e
house -top than with a brawling woman
in a wide house, Solomon.
No Difference.
I will not argue things, my friend,
or waste my time debating, for I have
harness here to mend, and other chores
are waiting. Let candidates conduct
their game -that sort of thing's ex-
pected -but things will go just the
same, no matter who's elected. The
orators may rant and bray and hand
out roast and stricture; my bukskin
hen has laid astray, confound her silly
picture! and I must go and seek• her
nest, and see that she's corrected; and
things will all be for the best no matter
who's elected. The country's future is
in doubt? It always was, my neigh-
bor; and I, to help that future out shall
stay at home and labor; the threats of
statesmen don't distress or make. my
soul dejected; the land will hump along
I guess, no matter who's elected. Oh,
worry's for the frantic chaps and those
self-seeking sinners who hope to collar
pleasant snaps if their men are the
winners. I keep my growing pumpkin
vine from bugs and worms protected;
the land will still be doing fine, no mat-
ter who's elected. --Walt Mason.

LIVE STOOK MARKETS.

g
Union Stock Yards this morning were
115 loads --2,215 head of cattle, 177 calves,
493 hogs, and 791 sheep and lambs.
It was a case of blue Monday, with
unusually little business doing. Men who
usually come as buyers seemed to be
there in the role of mere spectators to-
day. The demand for both export and
butcher cattle were very light and this
applied to all other lines. Prices were
given about the same as last week, al-
though for the most part, any actual
sales were made at lower figures.
