FRIDAY, OCT. 25 1872.
Farmers' Clubs.
New that winter is drawing on
and the evenings are becoming long,
we would °desire to imprees , upon
otir agricuIturel readers the desira-
bility of establishing regular weekly
or semi-monthly meetings for men-
tal improvement, We do not make
this sugge.stion becauee we think that
the farming community reqraire men-
tal Culture more than their neighbors
of the towns and villages, but be-
eause we know, that heretofore they
have, as a rule, been more backward
in giving attention to these matters.
It is a fact that a vory large majority
of those in the rural districis do not
give sufficient attention to the culti-
vation and improvement of their
ment7a1 faculties. Many are too apt
to think that if they have a thorough
knowledge of the points neeesaary
in a good animal, and understand
the routine of farm labor, they have
acquired all the knowledge which it
is necessary for them to possess..
This is a great mistake. Knowledge
of this description is certainly most
useful, and to be a successful farmer,
at man, must have a thorough know-
Iedge-of such things. Bnt he is cap-
able of going mach further than
this. There are just as btight intel-
lect& in the rural districts as there
are in the towns and cities, and all
that is wanted to make them shine
forth brilliantly is proper cultivation.
There is, perhaps, n't) Class Of the
-community, which, during the win-
ter months, has as much leisure
time as the farmer. His work
- -during certain seasons of the year is
Iteavy-artd laborious, and it is for-
tunate. that there- is a eeon when
he' cute, to a considerable degree,
rest from his tabors. If - the stress
-upon the body were as great during
all seasons of. the year, ,as during
snort:11er, the system would give
3
way under the strain. But such is
not the case. His seesons of labor
have been 80 organized by nature's
laws, that there comes a term of se-
vere toil, to be followed by a season
-of rest. In order the more- thorough-
ly to enjoy this smsen of rest,.and
make it profitable aliketo body, and
mind, a portionofthe time .at least
should be employed in meatal im-
s. provemena If the body is over -ex-
ercised to the neglect of the mind,
the latter is apt to become waiped
and imbecile. If a pereon who is
- devoted. to -study, or other mental
,employ meat, sits still from year's
end to year's end, and neglects to
give the body that exercise which it
requires to mainteiri it in a healthy
.00adietere it will become stunted,
feeble and incapacitated to perform
its proper functions. Just so with
the mind. It is, then, the duty of
-every man to give his mental facule
ties that degree of exeroise that will
keep them in a healthy condition..
It is frequently the case with those
-engaged in agricultural pursuits that
they exercise the body too much and
- the mind too little. In order} to
1, overcome this evil, we would adaise
the establishment througeout the
.• County of Farmers' Clubs. One
might be organized in each school
section. The Meeting might be held,
as we have before stated, weekly, or
.serui-monthly. At these meetings
friendly discusiotis on an appointed
*object should be engaged in. The
:subject for idiscussion ehould be
- -chosen some time previous to the
meeting, so that each could have an
opportunity of thinking on it. and
. preparing himself to give his views.
-on the subject intelligently. . The
-subjects chosen might be either agri-
cultural or otherwise. But ell
s ould engage in them. There :is
t no person with a mind at all but
must have his own views on certain
-subjects. The great difficulty is in
• giving 'expression to these views.
Facility in the expression of one's
-opinions can only be attained by
study and pracLice. There are- few
born orators. The gift of oratory to
a very great extent, is acquired
through practice, rind there is not a
t farmer or business man in the County
who, if properly trained, who could
• not get up in a.,public meeting and
.give utterance to his views. The
benefits which would accrue from
propetly -conducted meetings of this
kin" (I are inestimable. A vast
etmount of practical information and
.experience would be gained from
-each other. The regular routine of
life would be varied, and the man
•
invigorated to et surprising degree.
His labors .would be lightened, and
he would have the •satisfaction of
knowing that in benefiting himself,
he was benefiting ethers. The mind
wouldboconie enlarged, the intellect
strengthened, and the members of
these clubs, byooestaut practice,
would gein_confiderece in themselves
as feriae speakers, thus enablin
them more tteMvely to take part in
the public -affairs of their municipal-
ities. If club a snob as these were
established in each school Feetion, at
our Township, Agricultural andothe a
public meetings, instead of there.
not _being more than one or two to
take part oin the discussion, there
wculd undoubtedly be one or two
dozen. As every' intelligent person
-has ideas of his own on various eub-
jects, which, if ite could butgive ex-
pression to, wohld be of benefit to
his fellows, but because he is unable
to publicly express w,hat he feels,
these views, no matter how useful,
are lost. If peiaons of this kind
• were to associate themselves with a
club etioh as we have mentioned, and
at aria of its 'meetings accustom
themselves to gie utterance to their
viewe, they would be in a position
to benefit, not the members of their
club alone, -but, at such 'meetings as
we have mend° ect, a much larger
circle. Wherea, if this club had
notobeen in exis1ence, the person im-
parting the information would be
unable to do so, and the public
would be the losers.
We have thus, shown that, in al-
most every sen'se, the forthation of
farmers' clubs would reault in benefit
not only to the +wirers thereof, but
to many °therm. If we had mere
such clubs as these 7 we would have
more farmers. aed fewer lawyers as
Parliamentary representatives, and
we believe the country 'would be
much the richer. We trust, then,
that during the doming winter many
of these clubs will .be formed in the
County of Huron, and that both old
and young, richl and poor, may be
found • enrolled On the membership
lista." If thi bot4one, the good 're-
sults will speedily make themselves
apparent. There is no earthly reason
why farmers andi their sons should
not come forw rd and hold as
prominent positi ns in the commun-
.
ity as others, many of whom are,
were. it .not for their training, much
less competent to fill such positioes.
That they do not do thie, is attribut-
ed to their own backwa-rdness, and
lack of training. '
Reciprocity. ,
It is evident that the. Americans
are now becornnig pretty sick of the
Chines -e wall" which they have
built up between their country and
Canada, mainly to gratify a littlenatiOnl spite. They are now begin -
tilt' to see that Clenada is not so de-
pendent upon thein as they thought
They have learned .that we- can Hy
to a very great exent independently
of them, and th19- for our products
we can gain access to other markets
They have learned that by their sel
fish policy they have injured their
Own treat) and commerce, and have
calmed us but .entporttry inoon-
venience. They find also that un-
der their system of rigid. protection
huge monopolies have sprung up in
their midst, whicle are growing fat
at the expense of 'the country at
large. The fact is, the Americans
require our produ4s, and they are
now beginning to realize that
the cheeper they an get then] the
better it will be for themselves.
There is therefore, a feeling, which
is rapidly growing, and b-ecanning
more general ainongethe Anierican
people in favor of liberal trade 're-
lations between that oountrv and
Oil. This feeling was made' very.
evident at the recent meeting in
New York of the National Board
of Trade. Prominent ruemhers of
that body unhesitatingly declared
that liberal trade relations between
the two countries was almost at
neceesity for then. In fact cne
New England manufacturer asserted
that with cheap raw material, the
manufacturers of the New England
Staters were no afraid to compete
with the whole world.- When we
hear men of this stamp give expres-
sien to sentiments such as these, we
have good grounds to hope that the
good sense of our AmericaLeigh-
bors will very soon l overcothe their
prejudices. At the meeting- of the
National Board above referred to,
the following resolutions were pass-
ed al-nroet tinaninrously
Whereas, -It has been represented to
us by th,o delegates from the Board of
Trade of the Dominion of Canada that,
in their opinion, the people and Govern-
.
reent of Canada would cheerfully assent
to 0, Reciprocal Treaty of trade that
would be muttally advantageous to their
country and mtr own by -the - free inter-
change of necessary commodities, and the
'cheapening -of the transportation of grain
and other exports to the seaboard;'and
"Whereas, It is the .daty of the Naticaie
al Board of Trade to exert it legitimate
influence in promoting ell measures cal-
culated to increase the trade of the coun-
try and its industrial and commercial
prosperity;
"Therefore, .Be it resolved, that the
Executive Council be instructed to mem-
orialize Congrees to make an appropria-
tion for the appoint ent of a commission
to act in conjunction with the State De-
partment in negotia ing a treaty with
tIte Dominion of Canada, on a broad, cora-
, priehensive and liberal basis, which shell
also include the enlatgement of the Ca-
nadian canals by the Government of Ce -
nada and the right o American -vessels
•to navigate the said canals
canals under the
.same conditions as ate imposed upon
Csuadian vessels." -
If the United States Governinent
. should comply with the request con-
taiued in the above resolution, and
appoint a •commission, we have no
do,ubt but the people of Canada will
be prepared to deal fairly and gen-
erously i with them. I Although we
can get along very comfortably with-
out another Reciprocity Treaty, yet
we de not shut oer yes to the fact
that we Would probably get along a
great deal better, with one. But,
although we are mOst desirous to see
free, trade relations exist between
this country and the United States,
we are not prepared t� make any.
great concessions to secure that boon.
There is not the least doubt that
/such a treaty wculd- be equally
'bdvantageous to the Americans as
to ourselvea. A very large number
of them are now becoming alive to
this feet. As moon, therefore, as
this rapidly growing,elernent be-
comes sufficiently powerful to bring
to bear ou Congrees a greater pres-
sure than can be bronght to bear on
I
it by the monopolists who are thriv-
ing by protection, we will get. fair
and reasonable terms. To endeavor
,to hasten this time ' by offering tor-
e
rea.sonalble-inducem tits, wtruld he
madneele woul,:only humiliate
ourselives in the eyea of our rivals,
.and Would do us no Rood. The
battle has to be fought on the °thee
side, by those w o are making
money through, pro tion and those
,who are losing. -Th latter, although
'perhaps not beoomi g more. nutter-
ous, are &lily beco sr ing more deter-
mined, and are co rstantly puttingt
forth increased exert:ons to gain their
point. They are gra t tudly, and we be-
lieve speedily gaini Ig strength, and
.we will have to wai but a short tittle
'untie they become die more power-
ful of the two. ' hen thitt comes
about, we will obtain a liberal, Re-
procity Treaty, and riot till then.

TIIE MARKETS,
SEAPORTH, October se Dem.
There is not much change in the Sea -
forth market. Wheat seems to have a
slightly downward tendency. Coarse
grains remains about as Leta week.' For
the past week there has not been a great
deal of grain brought forward. The
weathei has been fine, and farmer v have
been taking advantage of it to gets their
roots up and other fall work done. But-
ter is rather duller than last week, al-
though good quality will meet with
ready sale at any time. Eggs have ad-
vanced 1 ceu.t per dozen, but there are
hardly any to be had. Ray has been
scarce during the past week, and pri,ces
ranged. slightly higher. We quote:

NEW -YORK STOCK MARKta.
WIDNESDAY., Oct. 22, 187/
Houses. -The city, trade in horses
during the week remained nmcla the
;same as for the last three weeks. There
lies been tk uniformly active demand for
all kuids f business; horses at pretty
fir6 figure's, while the universele, cern-
plaint about dullness in the market for
higher priced stock continued. • The al-
most entire absence of all demand for
fine and, valuable lames was once mere
attributed to the atringency in the inoney
market, and the' predominant political
agitation. The following are the average
prices realized in the Bull's Head Mar-
ket for work horses- of different descrip-
Railroad and stage horses, from
$150 fo $175, per 'head. Canadian farm
horses, freers $125' to $200, per head.
Common Western draft horses, from
$150 to $165 . per head. Heavy trnok
horses, from $200 to $400, per Bead.
BERVB8.-The market has been 'dull
and weak for inferior and ordinary grades
for several days, and the several oar loads
held over from day to -day very plainly
indicate that the prices offered did not
cover the cost. Smooth, fat steers 'have
had a ready sale, but none have been
good taloa& to command the hi,ghfigures
receutly ,reeeived. The extreme range of
reported sales to -day was 9 to 14c. for
native steers, and 71 to 10o. for Texans
the bulk ef the native cattle selling at
clout to llo. per lb, and nearly all of the
Texans at n to 80. Nearly the same -
number of Texans were offered this week
as last, and having more quality in some
of the droves, the prices ranged higher
for the best. The packing of Texas
cattle has been oommenced at Chicago
and itt Kansas City, and from this tirae
it lighter supply may be looked for here.
Mteoet Cows. -T1aere has been scarce-
ly any change in the features of the
marketfor fresh cows. The receipts were
74 head, exclusive of a few that arrived
with droves of beef cattle. Very goat`
mon cows wet e sold at $30 to $40, scarcely
'more than common dry cows, and fair to
goo(' were taken at $50 to $70, calves in-
cluded. Sales to -day were 4 good cows
at $72 50 per head; .1 fancy cow and calf
for $100, -and 1 common to choice at
$35 to'$75. • '1"
