That the cheese producing district ly- ing ying within a radius of five or ten miles of Listowel baa vindicated its position as be. nag the premier seotion of the province is evidenced by the encase aohieved at the great fairs this season, At the regular cheese board, Oot. 18, the routine pro. oeedings were pleasantly varied by the presentation to R. H. Green, oheeeemak• er, Trowbridge factory, of the Toronto Industrial Exhibition Tankard, awarded to him at the last exhibition, Robert Cleland, one of the first, if not e in that seotion the fret; to make cheese , acted as chairman, and called on A. F, MacLaren, M. P., to snake the presentee tion. Mr. MacLaren, after presenting the trophy, which is a massive silver tankard, elaborately engraved with oheese•making scenes; mounted on an ebony base and valued at 0100, referred in terms of pride to the success whioh makers in that neigh- borhood had achieved during the past season at the great industrial exhibitions. Besides Mr. Greon'e winniog this trophy, Mre. Morrison, of the Newry feotory, won the gold medal at Ottawa; Walter Hamil- ton, of Wallace, the silver medal at Lon- don, and also the highest individual score for August cheese in the September oom• petition at the Pan, in which there ware entries from all over Canada and the United States. He was muob gratified to find that Western Ontario had maintain- ed ire supremacy in the old country market, notwithstanding the claims made by the Eastern part of the province that their cheese was superior, but when brought into competition there was no question w 1 a a to the result. He ae g a d q that his county bad carried off in triumph every prize worth mentioning, and he was sure that there would be no retro• gression of the industry in the West. He hoped Mr. Green would retain the trophy for the three years required by the conditions under which it is given. I. W. Steinhoff, a large buyer, just back from the Pan-American, where he had been judging obeese, said it was a remark. able thing that eo many honors should come to Listowel, and an evidenoe that unusual skill, cars in the handling of milk and cleanliness, together with climatic and ohemioal conditions of the toil devoted to grazing, were the chief contributors to the ea00800 achieved by the cheese producers of that district. Col. D. D. Campbell and H. B. Morphy also congratulated Mr. Green, who replied briefly, modestly acknowledging the trophy. WHAT A BRUSSELITE THINKS OF THE WEST. DEAn En000n,—Our trip to the West was very pleasant and enjoyable throughout. We travelled by rail all the way, via North Bay and 0. P. R„ and made good time, leav- in Brussels Wednesday morning, Sept. 11th, and arriving at Sidney, Man., the home of my brother, Friday,12.07 p. m. The 0. P. R. International Limited," which runs from Montreal to Vancouver, is a very fine, well equipped train, and is well patronized. To give anything like a minute description of the country through which one passes an this trip would make a large volume so I will only touch a few of the interesting de- tails. The Muskoka District, after leaving Barrie to North Bay, is beautiful for natural scenery and is noted as a health and pleasure resort, and is also a famous hunting ground at this season of the year. Numerous small lakes and rivers, large and small; rooks, which cannot be measured; towns, with lum- ber piled high; settlers' cabin and small (of necessity) patches of farming make up the bill of fare. After leaving NorthBay as far as Chelmsford the country is similar to that already passed, but after leaving Chelmsford till Fort William is reached it is almost a continuation of rock, which beoomes very monotonous to the eye. After leaving Fort William the country seems somewhat lower and more vegetation and in some places one would fancy himself going through a spruce grove, however, there is very little farming insight all aloe the way until Manitoba is reaced when the vast wheat fields come to view. What a contrast. One can hardly imagine the vastness and beauty of our prairie country and upon reaching it the mystery of building a railroad around our North shore is solved. In passing through this extremely rocky country the great ques- tion with me was how the line was ever sur- veyed, the chief object apparently was to keep a little higher than the water level and thus take advantage of running along the rivers and lakes. However I don't when to take up too much space m describing the railway It has been built at an enormous expense, is a credit to our fair Dominion and a lasting monument to the memory of Sir John A. A young divinity student from Scotland, who was a passenger ou the train, When coming an view of the prairie with its bountiful wheat fields, horde of cattle and wonderful development, oxolaiined, "It's a vast country" and so 1t is.

He had a good bank bare, 40x00 feat, on a good stone wall, good stabling underneath, a windmill on top that crushes his grain, onto his feed and pumps the water into one or all the boxes in the stalls. He also has a granary that holds about 1000 bushels and all his buildings are painted. He sold 01 head of cattle since Spring and had Oil. head then, and got the 1st prize for Chs stook at the Winuipog Iedustriod Fair. It took about a ton of twine to bind his crop. He generally threshes from the stook and moat likely they are standing there yet for the reason that every fernier cannot have the machine first and it is quite common for one farmer to have from four to six daye' threshing.
