Now•a•daya we hear femora hi the older provinces complain thin their land ie run down, and in consequence they cannot grow the crops that they used to thirty years ago ; this with tho oompeti• tion from the invoouae grain fields of the Northwest, whore wheat can be grown at lose cost, in gt'oator abundanoe and of better quality, are fruitful Bounce of complaint. Why not grow something oleo that will meet with a ready Bale, and that Offers a reasonable probability of being remener• alive? It will be generally admitted that thous farmers in Ontario and Que. bed who pity the most attention to dairy- ing and Stook raising are Inch more see - useful in their nailing t.,,tn Lhoir neigh- bors who depend almost entirely on grain growing. I think I ani putting it milder when I say that very few farmers will dispute this. Now we will compare cattle raising with growing spring °hickong : You raise a steer and anti rout when three years old, weighing a thousand pouude, for time mons per pound live weight, thee receiving for an =lima thrtt you hero led for thirty-six moults and have ]rept housed in your barn for nearly half of that tiros, and wheel bas had to be attended either by yonrsn't or your man, every day that it has been donned, Now what do you propose to charge for labor ? to soy notiiitie ut the feed, lu arriving at xn estimate of rho cost of that steer, Wo will fi,;nre a little on the cost of pro. during a thousand pounds of spring chickens : two hundred pairs of =hike of the right breed will weigh a theueand pnnncle at the age of eleven weeks, and it should not cost over Poor outs per pound to grow thorn ; leaving their total cost, exclusive of the mitts from which they wore hatched, forty dollars, but the cost of the eggs is Stn important item, you had to Bet them abort the nest of February, when they were worth thirty cents per dozen, and we will sopposn that you set seven hundred, t,is gives u liberal allow. auto for infertile eggs told casualties atter the Chicks are =tutted out, thus malting the cost of your chicle+ $57.50. These ciliates if placed on the Toront i or Mont- real markets but the end of May will brio;; readily 80 cents per pair, thus realizing the snug son) of $1110.00 of wltinli $102•:x0 is or'alit, ..ori it has taken ju _t fourteen weeks from the time you set the eggs. Now what about that steer ? If he coat you nothing for feed, mud you know only too well that be did, he has still Dost three years of .labor, which is about equivaleut to what yon get for hint. Your thousand pounds of nhlultens give you over 150 per aunt more clean profit than the total amount realized from the sale of -sour thousand pounds of beef. You dont believe tinct anon a price us 80 coots east bo obtained ; we kern,/ that it can, but to meet your ideas of the matter we will say thee yon only realize 00 cents, you Still have left the resportab'e sum of 003.50 tis clean profit. Even if yon are now satisfied that this price is obtained, you perhaps doubt your ability to handle such ea flock ; and we are per- haps progressing a little too rapidly, but I have made thio comparison of beef and poultry growing to intrust year attention to what I shall subsequently bevel to say on the subject, I don't wish you to think for a moment that. you could aeuomplish this with yonr present methods, neither could you harvest forty mores of grain without assistance if you used the old sickle of fifty years ago , but the modern aelf binder enables you to easily dispose of such a orop. You are quite convinced that modern agrieultnral machinery is RD absolute necessity to every farmer who. desires to keep pace with hie neighbors. Then why do you still cling to the time honored methods that were it vogue when Noah's lone pair stepped into the ink, in the management of your pool. try? NOMINATION D.O.Y. Last Wednesday was the day appoint - ea for the nomination of a, nandidate for the position of Reeve of Brussels, to 811 the vacancy occasioned by the resigna- tion of J. M. Molntosh.

Mr. Basket addressed the meeting brief- ly, Ile thought elections by acclamation were played out hone and that a contest was the proper thing. Considerable trouble had been experionoed to the last few years itt keeping the Connell Board full owing to the removals of D. Strachan, W. F.

Graham when running for tits Reeve - ship before but believed Me. Graham made o good Reeve, In his 18 years in business in Brussels he had had hie difficulties but he bad done the square thing with every man and wag as much entitled to rum for the vaomnoy as any. body. Another reason he was in the Reid was because Mr. Kerr could not qualify owing to his having a oontraut with the ooeporatfon and having a000nnts note nupaid. After referring to somo personal remark made of /aim by a mem• her of the Board he eonoltided by asking for the hearty support of the eloators on the 18th and if ale0ted would do bis boot for the interests of the place.

Broker' and affirmed that the ourporatlou clid not owe hon a cent, Mr. 13roker'o statement to electors in canvassing ahem that he (Kerr) would be unseated if elected was not true, was only en electioneering dodge.

If elect. ed hie bast endeavors would be to pro. mote the well being of Brnsee'd. Mr, Balker in his reply said that 11Ir. herr had read the atatetnent of his ac- counts et the Connell Board from to slip of paper.

A SYS'roit has been adopted by mer. chants who give credit in the American cities, whioh, we think, would be very suitable here and world save a great amount of book•koeping and disputes about accounts. Books of tickets, re• presenting eums from 50. up, are given to =stunners, just as bread tickets are supplied here. For iustane°, a oustnmer goes to his groper and asks for a $10 book of tickets. He is charged with $10 worth of tick0ts and when he makes a purchase he heads out tickets to the amount of the bill and these are put in the till and re- present so much cash. Once eaoh month or two months, a note is given or cash paid for the tiokets sold, and no sale of ticket books amounts to less than $5, so a great saving in book-keeping is effect- ed.
