The rexcelle,nt staff correspondent of the Globe has been taking a run through this banner county of Huron and gives his im- pressions of things as he found them, in a . very racey letter written from Goderich on July 17th, as follows,- "Fermin' ain't the thing it used bo be. . IthOnothing to take off the hatvest.noW:' Threshin' is pretty dirty work, though." This 'did two pioneers sol- iloquize and compare notes on the' station platform at Clinton this morning. They had met aeoldentially, but soon struck a note ofoongeniality. "1 Mind when we used to raise our log barns; we would get; one end ur anII the Other end Would come down for - returned t you," returned other. "Still, • , there was not so many, accidentu then, peo- ple Were smarter than they are now, and would get out of the way." ,Both were stooped with the exhausting toil of many years, but they saw better times ahead. Said one: ne : "We used to work from five eclookin the morning, till nine or ten at might. We don't do half the day's work new, we did then." "If the timber was here now on some places, so it was then, we would get a pile of money for it." The incident illustraes that the age of this great. smiling Hilton tract le spanned easily by the life of an individual. Here was done some of old Ontario's OM recent pioneer- ing, and here are some of the best farms to- day. I A SIGN OF IPEILERSHLP. , 1 ' , There is a saying up here, that the farm !Thiele 'shows a larger house than barn indic- tee that the women is " born "there. Inversely, the county of Huron is ruled ,by • the men. This is the-. county of Big Bartle; in other words, the home of the stock far- mer. The train from I London, piercing its ,way through the heart of this western plat- eau, seems to commit in Impertinences in die- ing up farms of *wilt riehness and of suoh alt. undant crops.

The pastures teem with roaming beef cattle, end recent clover `fields with fattening hoge. as Featly equivalents for gold as * Dominion note itself. Intersecting the mosaics' of green and gold run the white 'ribbons ot roads, hard and level, s tribute to the im- proved method"; of road making. The barns stand in reliefemany with labor-saving wind- mills, and all Yiith warm stables beneath. The houses nestle behiud rustling maples or nervous poplars, and the fence lines are fre- quently marked by graceful elms. It is a picture of wealth and contentment, hardly dreamed of by the pioneers who, with un- tiring energy and unsurpassed pereeverancee cleared their farms of heavy foveae, and in- creased their' tillable land sore by acre, only as it seems, a few years ago. HURON'S MONEYMAKERS. Cattle and apples era the money-makers in Huron. In thol-former, Middlesex, that object lesson of alt that is good iu farming, leads the Piovitmeethe value of her cattle, told or slaughtered. In 1902 being no lege than $1,854,398. Huron was a good second, with 42,436 animate, valued at $1,756,002, The county of Grey, another neighbor, was third, with $1,389,419. In the whole pro. vines 673,544 animals were disposed of, with a value of $23,340,908. That beats the re- cord, the revenue from this sources having been steadily growing for many year.. la 1901 it was $20,286,963:- in 1900 $18,017,989, and in 1896 $12,381,248, It might be re- rosrked here that in horses sold, Huron led the Province last year with 3,537 riniodals, vat- ted at $378,459. This has beet a suitable , year for cattle, with good pastures and high prices, and the farmers have profited. A few weeks ago, an Aehfield farmer, Mr., James' Foley, broke the record by shipping from his own herd, 34 animale at once, bringing him $2,300. The hog industry is seemly less important, with sales of about $850,000 yearly. "Tho farmers will raise stock se long as it is a good price; then they will raise something else," said a ilocal but - oiler to -day. But ea the market is Owiden- Llg and the skill of the farmer improving, hough this latter fact is generally ignored y the hog buyer, the present conditions houldnot change Along with the flavor- ble stook market come rosy report, of the ceding grain,. Oets have thelargest acreage f the grain crop', and the lend devote -et tri t.bm is Worming, with the neglect of peas ad wheat, • FIFTY BITNIZIA TO TIM AMC A yield of fifty bushels to the sore le look. d for in Huron. The straw is shortor than get year but the grain is more plump and heavier, For the surplus of oats over local tremolos a fair market has recently been °nod in Liverpool. Barley, the °ample - on feeding crop, is likewise extra good, remising also 50 4111101s to the acre should the weather oontione favorable, &wording to Mr. William Bartow., a large -Weal deal. 4,r. Hay is a fair crop, and Is expected to un about one and a half tons to the sore. This section is later than the Lake Erie counties, snd the hay le not all out yet by any means. The fedi wheat le a good, fair *rope with .prospective yield of 25 bughels to the sore. The straw is rather light, hub the ears- are large, Ensilage corn, of whieh there is a large sweetie, is backward, owing, to the cool weather'and. shore erop is eared. Of roots there ig also danger of a eardby, owing to unfavorable weather at he germinating period. APPLE: CROP FAIL Of the other Feat 'tuft, apples, there is promise of just a fair crop. Lint year they were tremendously abundant and sold at from 50 to 76 cents per barrel In the or- ohard. There will be a difference this fell, and Mr. G. M. Elliott, one of the Godesioh dealers, predicts prices of $1.25 - ta $1.50 for winter fruit. Of summer and fall apples there are eurcely any, and for this the dealers are grateful, for they say the surlier varieties, which,do not keep well, are sent to the old country and "poll the prospects for the market for the leter ones. Great Britain hu been the best market, but. recently a good trade has been built up in the Northwest for first class fruit • This is one of the great apple belts of On- tario, in fact Huron took sound 'place in last yea* prodution, with 2,471,790 huh: els, Kant being first with 3,151,380 bushel,. Grey, which ;by the way; has the largesse number of tree., was third, with 1,865,518 bushels. In all Ontario there were 48,185,- 125 bushels, compered With 14,430,650 bush- els in 1901, 36,933,017 in 1900 and 55,896,- 705 bushels in 1896, which elbows whet an uncertainty the apple culture is. Spies and Baldwina are the favorite verieties in this belt. Of the former there is an excellent showing.' This is gratifying for they are svorites and arefairly good shipper.. Bade wins are emcee but Manna and Ikings show p well. All reports agree that the apples are much cleaner than usual, and that the prospect, are for an exeeptionally good chess - of fruit, which fact, may, in the end, com- pensate for the apparent ohortage in gum - Vitt% There have been few inseot pests, a feet whioh a local authority says is more due to the weather than to spraying, which lies nob become nearly as general as it eltould. Notwithstanding the reports of a small quantity of apples, there are those who believe the crop will turn out well when the fruit is matured. HURON meanies. A good deal of pride is taken in West Huron as a oherry district. Beautifier - this Ben is inanimate and is named after a former resident and is famoto for its cher- ries. The crop has been heavy, both of reds and blacks, and the quality more then nsually good. Many cherries are shipped to Montreal, but this season the canners have taken large quantities and relieved the congestion. The farmer has been receiving 50 *ants for eleven quart berikets of cherries. Pears ars not plentiful, but plums are a heavy crop, as also the smaller fruits, straw= berries, raspberries and currant*. Some at- tention is given to peaches, but lake Huron's winter breezes are scarcely balmy enough for them, and they are cultivated under difiloulty. Beyond ,apples, cherries end a few plumes fruit is not grown here for export, but ;II kinds are prodeced to some extent, as the farmers are drilled in the habit of producing nesrly all their table necessaries on their own farms. dropped dead at midnight Friday, at Win- nipeg, Mauitoba, ih11e speaking at the benquet closing the annual union convention ot the Brotherhood of Locomotive kingineeri, which had been in oession there for the pre- vious three day..
