The County of Perth.
TUE VALUATORS' REPORT.
Last year the County Council of the
County of Perth appointed Mr. John
McMillan, M. P. of South Huron, and
Mr. Wihiarn Long, Reeve of Maryboro,
County Valuators for the purpose of ex-
amining and valuing. the lands in that
county. The report of these cotrimis-
sioners was submitted to the Minty
Council at its meeting last week. The
following extracts from the report will,
no doubt, be interesting to llitronites,
as it will show them what kind of neigh-
bors they have. The Beacon says :—
The report is regarded as satisfactory by
the representatives of the southern town-
ships and North Easthope, but tlee
Reeves from the municipalities raised
don't take kindly to it. This was to be
expected. Hitherto the valuation has
been an unfair one, and it is but natural
that those who are now raised should
feel dissatisfied.
WHAT TUE COMMIssIONERS SAY:
Having been appointed in August,
1886„ to value the real property of the
'county, we beg to submit our final -re-
port. In the absence of any instruc-
tiens from the council we concluded to
travel every concession that is open and
tit to drive over in the different munici-
palities, putting a, value upon each lot of
land according to the locality, quality of
the land, state of improvements and
quality and condition of the buildings
situated thereon.
THE SYSTEM ADOPTED.,
In villages situated in the differeut
townships we put a value upon all the
buildings, and included the whole in the
valeta of the township lot on which the
buildings are situated. In incorporated
towns and villages the system we adopt-
ed was to select a number of properties
in the various localities, representing
the different classes of buildings in each
municipality and put what we consider-
ed a fair value upon each separate pro-
perty. We then got the assessment
rolls and compared our valuation with
the assessed value, and increased or
reduced the total value of each
municipality accordingly, adding the
value of any new buildings put up since
the last assessment was made. We took
the acreage of the various townships
from the county atlas by putting down
the number of acres as given in each lot
or parcel of land in the different town-
ship maps.
vernevaroe OF ELMA.
The first township we visited was
Elma. We found the land i very level
with a good deal of swamp. •Where the
bush stands the best of the timber has
all been taken off. Bush fires- have run
over a considerable amount of the low
land and burnt down the thnber. There
are a number of large ditches run-
ning into the swamps, with sufficient
depth in most instances to admit of the
land being thoroughly drained. The
soil is a rich clay loam, and mostly all
capable of making fine land when -dried.
There are a good many fine bank barns,
some good dwelling houses, and the land
generally is well fenced, with fair roads
for a new township.
• mORNINGTON
was the next municipality visited. The
laud in the south part of the township
is a good clay loam until after passing
the village of Millbank, which is situat-
ed on the seventh concession near the
east side of the township. The north
part of Mornin_gton is a heaxy clay soil
and requires a large amount of draining.
The fences in many parts of the town-
ship are poor, the dwellings only mid-
dling, with a number of farms well
fenced, well drained, and good build-
ings. The roads etre fairly aernpiked,
but not gravelled to any extent.
WALLACE,
the most northern township in the
county, is well situated, having Listowel
on the south and Palmerston on the
north. The land is clay loam, soil
brokeia,in places with small -males, but
no large swamps. There are a great
many fine bank barns, with small dwel-
ling houses, and a few fine stone and
brick residences. The farms are fairly
ir.
well fenced, and the roads fa
meter.
In this township there is a .good deal
of swamp land, spread over Cie town-
ship with one or two large swamps.
There are a few large ditehes leading in-
to the low land. Drains must be made
in a great part of the township before
the land is of much use. There are
some godci farms with good buildings.
The soil is generally a clay loam, with
heavy ele!y in some places. The roads
are in a good state of repair generally.
ELLICE.
This is the poorest township in the
county, and, along with Logan, settle-
.ment and improvement have been kept
-back by the Canada Company holding
considerable tracts of land as yet un-
settled, and at prices, in our opinion,
above their actual value. There is a large
cranberry marsh in the centre of .the
township, which. has been run over with
fire. There is a large amoant of swamp
surrounding the marsh where a great
deal of the timber has been burnt down,
the fire having in some instances run
over a second time, nearly clearing the
land of timber. A portion of the swamp
in our opinion is the poorest land in the
county having three and four feet of
black muck on the top before reaching a
dry bottom. The rest of the land is
good clay loam. In the centre of the
township the roads are barely formed
and many of them only fit to travel in
-dry weather in summer, or when frozen
in winter.
Avon, which angles throtugh. the town-
ship efrom Stratford to 'the southwest
corner. The land is generally a black
loam On the surface, with a clay subsoil,
and requires. a great amount of draining.
The roads are fairly turnpiked, especial-
ly the concessions, but there is not so
much graveling done as in HilThert or
Blanshard. The farms as a whole are
not well fenced; the buildings are fair.
HIEBEFr
has very little swamp land. The sur-
face is gently undulating, with sufficient
fall for drainage. There are a large
number of fine farms with handsome
stone and brick dwellings and fine bank
barns. The roads are well turnpiked,
mid the 6oneessions nearly all graveled
and in segood state of repair. ,The state
of cultivation of the land is good in most
of the township.
eueteilta0N.
The river Thames runs from the north-
west cornerof ithe township almost to
the south -east -corner. The land along
the river Welke is steep in places, yet
there is comparatively little waste land,
as the river isnot included in the survey.
The land is a clay loam soil and is well
cultivated. The fences are generally
good. The gteatest number of stone
dwellings is in this township, with fine
bank barns.

contains a large amount of hilly land
which is of a, sandy loam nature. A
part of the same swamp runs through
Ellice and strikes the western part of
the township. The land is generally
well tilled, with good buildings and well
fenced. The enacts are also good,: ex-
cepting in the swampy part, but the
soil although not requiring so much
draining, is not of the lasting quality
of the land in the more level . townships.
sou= EA.T11011t:
is a township of fairly good land, with
a part of swamp in the northwest cor-
ner. It is a level township. :The lend
is a clay loam, and Wily- well fenced,
with good buildings. The roads are in
a fair condition. The township is well
situeted --with the city of Stratford on
the nerthwest, Tavistock on the south
aud Shakespeare on the north. It con
tins the largest amount of village pro-
perty to the number of acres of any
township in the comity, amounting to
over $3.50 per acre over the whole town-
ship.

The land is very level except along
the south boundary, which is a little
hilly, and along the banks; of the. river

NSARD
is in our opinion the finest township in
the county of Perth. The Thames river
runs from the north boundary to St.
Marys, then to the south-east boundary,
but as the river is not included in the
no doubt some inconvem-
little waste land. In the
township there is a block
of over 30,000 acres of the finest land we
have seen in the Province of Ontario,
without a single bad lot of land. The
soil is sand and clay loam a.nd in a
good state of cultivation. The farms
are well fenced with the greatest num-
ber of fine bank barns and brick dwell-
ings of any township in the county.
The roads are well turnpiked, and the
concessions, especially in the west part
of the toWnship, nearly all graveled and
in good repair.
TOWNS .AND VILLAGES
Mitehehl isteduced from the assess-
ment of 1886 the sum of $12,366. Very
little . bnilding has been done for some
time. Listowel would have been re-
duced by $11,26-1„ but there was added
for new buildings since the assessment
of 1886 was made, $30,000. Milverton has
been increased over the assessment the
sum of $16,065. We found the assess-
ment the lowest of the towns or villages.

This morning I Was watching the
faithful old gardener who is -making onr
garden, and I asked him to spade up one
of my flower -beds. As he turned up the
soil and the pld weeds, he said, in his
broken way: I "Dis sour etass is ferkY
pad fur your garden.. I hbe.f much trub-
ble getting it out, und if I don't pick
all out all die roots, it will be pad fur
you. Once yen don't ,get the roots all
out in the apring, you don't get to i3oss
it all. surnmera '1
How true that is; if we don't conquer
an evil when it is small, when we first
find it, we are pretty sure not to master
it at all. So I learned one lesson about
my flower garden, which is a good lesson
for other things. What we wish to
"master" we must take in time. Do
you know whit that word 'boss' comes
from ? It is nota word leeeommend to
you as it is commonly used iby workmen.
Look in the dictionary, and find what
its original meaning was, and see if you
can think why it came to be used for
master.
I called my German friend faithful,
and this is why: his time for begimaing
work is seven o'clock in the morning;
he is usually at work fifteen minutes be-
fore Seven. He should go home at six
o,clock it night; he does not usually be-
gin to put his tools away till so -me min-
utes after six, and . never idles during
the day. He is not strong, is quite old,
and might eaeily excuse himself for tak-
ing his work easy," especially as he
came to work on the understanding
that he was not.strong nor vigorous. I
assure you I have great respect for that
man ; he gives full value for all the ',pay
he has. •
