FRIDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1004.
The rich tones of the black wal-
nut, so commonly used in furni-
ture twenty or thirty years ago.
now seldom meet the eye, except
in some old-fashioned or discarded
piece. This fact is due to the prac-
tical disappearance of walnut wood
from the market. So scarce has it
become that it is said to be difficult
to procure it even in small pieces
for the making of gunstocks. •Yet,
says Youth's Companion, black
walnut is a tree which grows read-
ily in the soil of the United States,
and the International Society of
Arboriculture suggests that many
farmers in the Northern and East-
ern States would leave aL valuable
legacy for their' descendants and
confer a public boon by planting
little walnut forests on their waste
land.
At the last meeting of the Gode-
rich council the Mayor spoke of a
new railway scheme to which. he
had been giving some attention.
This new project was to run a line
from a point in Bruce county, near
Paisley, south to the township of
.Ashfield, and continuing south-
ward to meet the projected new C.
P. R. line between London and
Sarnia. This would connect a short
distance east of Goderich with the
Gnelph cC Goderich Railway. By
means of this now line there would
be a 0. P. R. connection between
Sarnia and Detroit and the Georg-
ian Bay, and he believed if the in-
coming council would work up the
project the town ccu'cl get this
connection. Goderich Signal.
This proposed branch of the C. P.1
R., if built, which is very likely as
a charter will be asked for in the!
next parliament, will pass through
Zurich, if the proper effort is
made to secure the branch. Mayor
Lewis, of Goderich, who is pushing
the matter, has been very success•
ful in promoting railways, as it
was Iargely through his instrumen-
tality that the Guelph , Goderich
branch is being built.
keeping of a better class of horses
on the farm for farm uses is in the
interest of better farming, better
farming in the line of larger profits
larger profits lead to irnprovenients
and • developments in property
values, which makes our farm
homes the ideal of 'agricultural
ambition.
Fanners' Institute Meetings Post-
poned.
After consulting with a number
of Institute speakers as well as
local officers in different parts of
the Province, the Superintendent
has decided not to hold any lnsti-
tute meetings until January 31st.
It was the unanimous opinion
of both delegates and officers (ancl
a great many were consulted) that
a political campaign would inter-
fere very much with the attendance
a ti and the success of Institute
Imeetings.
No announcements of
rneetings had been made for Jan -
j nary, althongh all lists had been
I about completed. A re-arrtLnge-
ment of the lists has been made,
I and the same submitted to the sec-
retaries of the various ridings.
The revised dates will be announc-
, cd in plenty of time to allow local
I secretaries to do the necessary ad -
a vertising before the date of the
1 first meetings. The regular num-
ber of meetings for each riding will
he held in all the older sections of
the Province, i)ut in the northern
districts (St. Joseph's Island, East'
anti ' West Munit.ouilin, Algoma,
•Nipissing, Parry Sound. and Mus -
I koka) arrangements will be mad,
ito hold meetings in J une or July or
the fall months.
I The Secret is Out.
I The Family Herald and Weekly
1Starhas recently hinted that there
might possibly be a surprise for its
!readers in the near future, and We
1 see in this week's issue they have
I carried out the hint. Ralph Con -
I nor, the author of "The Man from
Glengarry." has issued, several
startling stories, but the greatest
of all is his thrilling work entitled
"The Prospector." Only the
wealthiest magazines of England
anti the United States with their
millions of reader's have heretofore
been able to pay the price to secure
serial rights of such stories, and it
is indeed a surprise to learn that
the Family Herald ha:4 secured, the
exclusive Canadian rights of "The
Prospector" as a Christmas gift to
its readers. Family Herald readers
may well feel proud of their weekly
visitor, for they certainly are in
for a big dollar's worth this season.
1 One on Dr—
As a boy Talmage did not show
marked evidence of a theological
form of mind. It is related. that
I on one occasion he attended church
!with his parents and. manifested
! such a restlessness and inattention
' that they had grave doubts of his
having received any benefit from
the ponderous and learned dis-
course of the good, old-fashioned
parson. The preacher spoke on the
words, "An angel came down from
heaven and took a live coal from
the alter." Reaching, home the
parents questioned their son.
••Diel you hear the sermon?"
-Yves."
°•Did you understand it?"
"()h. yes."
"Can you repeat the text?"
'-Of course."
'.1.4et us hear you."
Young Talmage trinmphantly
quoted,: "An Ingun came down
from New Haven and pulled a live
colt from the halter." That state-
ment removed all doubts as to
whether he had paid attention to
the sermon.
Its a disgrace to see a poor.
eripplel, inferior team on aL farm.
The farm is the place above all
others to have the very hest of all
kinds cf animals. The farm grows
the feed and the hay to make fine
animals, and to keep theca in the
hest possible condition. It is the
first duty that tho farmer (Ayes t.)
see that his. teams aro well fed. and
Well eared. for. Without these
faithful servants there v,•r)uld be no
crops to harvest. They are furnish-
ing the power that tills the soil,
they make it possible fr;r the earth
to produce, the great crops that are
adding millions of dollars to the
wealth of the Iancl owners of the
country. The work teams of the
farm should be the ,.)est of animals,
and provided with the first and of
best of the produce of the fields.
'When the farmer commences to
realize that the horse is his best
friend, and continences to Manifest
his appreciation by providing bet-
ter care, better stables, better har-
ness and better treatment general-
ly, there will be a decided ilnprove-
rnent noticeable in agricultural on
the farm, and the farm profits will
be inunearsuu ably increased. The
