Miller, a well-known and highly esteemed resi- dent of Morris township; on Feb. 17th came as a serprise to a large circle of friends. Mr. Milne "Was taken ill with blood -poisoning and ' gradually grew worse until the end came, Mr. Miller first saw the' light of day at Fans, Berwickshire, Scotland on Aug- ust 25th, 1830. la 1.851 he came to the Neiw World to the Geheese Val- ley, New York State, and in the fall of 1854 with the early settlers, loca- ted in Morris township. At the time there was no 'settlement north of tile 4311 line.

Hav- ing bought oxen, a trip was made back to London tor their baggage. This was no small task M those days. In 1854, Mr. Miller married Margaret Moffat, and their family consisted. of three sons and three daughters. He to& an active part in the municipal affairs in his earlier days and was ten yeare in the township council, five ot which he was Deputy Reeve. For thir- ty years he was a magiatrato ; was Captain of the Militia in the good old days; twenty years License Inspector and twenty-three years President of the 13lueVale Cheese Co.

Grigg, Dominica Government Immigration Agent at Clinton : 'With the approach of spring, and the busy season on tile farms, I wish to draw your attention to the fact that immigration from the British Isles this year will not likely amount to much, and. hence the farmers who have been accustomed to securing im- migrant help are now confronted with the necessity of securing help from some other source. There are a largo number of idle men in. Canada, some of Whom have had exPetiellee as farm laborets and others quite inexe perieneed. This is the only source of supply for the present year. As far- mers everywhere are making a strong eftorb to increase production in view of war pricies mid the desirability of Canada raising as much as possible to meet the needs ot the Empire in this crisis, it is Hedy that farm help will be scarce before long and there, fore farmers should take immediate advantage of the present situation to secure help before the, rush begins and the ecareity of labour is felt"' 111111•11111111011enoe LET THE MERCI-1ANT CONSIDER.

By "possible" is meant the actual results which have been obtained by our Experimental Farms and by many farmers. These "possibles" have been obtained under inteneive culti- vation methods and conditiore not altogether possible on the average farm, yet they suggest the great possibilities of in- creased production. •By greater care in the selection of seed, more thorengh cultivation, fer- tilization, better drainage, the average could be re -sed by et least one-third. That in itself would add e least,6,150,000;000 to the annual income of Canada from the farm. It would to a great service to the Empire, and this 50 the year in which to do it.
