Dear Expositor,—We are hearing great deal just Inow about the tar- iff, extravagant railway rates, mon- opolies, eto. The "new blast from the old horn » has been at it iso long , that he may well ,eall it the 'old ° horqa. There is no doubt but a great deal of what he pays es true. That with rebates, extra; way' out rates, shortage of cars, Ace, the far- mer is carping a heavy aoad which be Should not, be required to hear, and which is unjust. But, Mr. Prin- gle was blowing his hat for a long time,. and it bas bad very lit- tle effect. We have had the Tariff Commission sitting in Ontario lately, and we have beard eonsiderable a- bout farming being stitch a close business ; praotically that farmers are making no headway. I believe this is- true to a certain extent,and that the Tariff,transpertation rites, etc., have Considerable to do with it. Because the Tariff has a great deal to •do with creating the com- bines and monopolies that we have. It scenes a very -low Ivey of making money,- The meaning of it is by be- ing protected is having a law in force that you can compel your neighbor to pay more for an article than its real value . O, taking' something from your neighbor thet- by law is yours, but not by Tight. These are very important questions. autl it 'is very necessary that the old horn keep a blowing, and others join beim in helping on the good work. But iteems that the Govern- ment is such a slow grinding mill, that if wewaitluntil we get all these good things, a good many of us will neither need to care lanything about tariff reform or transportation rates. You know, we are all 'Very , apt to, critleise others. # is sexy hard for a Government to suit every class of people. I think we, as farmers, ought to turn our eyes and our judgment on our own personal selves, and if we do and do it lionestly, we will eilear- ly realize that we are not doing the best ,with what_ is under our con- trol. We can hap ourselves a great deal more than Our members of Par- liament can, and it will take ieffect at oilers we will mot need to wait for years for it. But by 'next year at thisetime evesevall be the better of it. Are we making the best use of the land we have? Are WO mak- ing every *ore prodnee more than the rent a it? If not we tire 'rob- bing another acre to help to keep this one. Are we growing &he best crops we can Are we iraising the best live stook we can? The arswer must be, no iJ Although Owe have just as good land in Huron aa ban be got in Ontario,. we 'must acknow- ledge- that we are ,not tilling it as well as we ought. All honor to our lathers and grandfathers for the good work they did. Oars is a different work. Every . tree they felled, every stump they got rid of, they were making money. 'Their farms were increasing in oralue. They had the new soil, all they neede& to do was to sow the seed and 'give it a scratch of the harrows, and they got a crop. We can not do that now. We haee to know how to keep the land increasing in fertility. We can not do that without thinking, studying, and working. The way to 'do it is'Ito start, and plan how for next season. USe • our brains, at- tend the Farmers' institute meet- ings, read good agricultural papers, keep an honest eye en our neighbor ; where he fails keep clear; where -he excels do not be afraid to eopy. He will not be jealous. He will be glad he is helping some one. It would al- so be well to start a literary club in a good many school 'houses during the winter, -discuss subjects pertain- ing to farming. You could add tar- iff reform, transportation rates, ury grab, etc. The farmer needs all the education he can got tin that line nowadays. It belps the• eoeial side, also, whith is a very inapert-i ant considevatioxe „ Another thing is, seleot the, best seed you can. It has been pro/ in beyond a. doubt by our professors at the Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph, that the yield can be great- ly increased by, selecting the heavi- est and plumpest seed tor a Dumber. of years. • We are -not as expert at the !judg- ing, breeding, and feeding of live stook as we ought to be. You can eot know it all in one year, tor ten. But live stook mind be a part,- of thefarming new, if not we enlist fall behind in ltbe race. Let the same be said of sall our live Stook before long that is mow said about our holies: Itis said by those tbat are in a position to know, that there are more good horses within twenty miles of Seafortb' than in any other -locality, in Ontario. This Is a credit to the farmers.... How did /they do it? They took an interest lin the: heavy draught and stook rignt to him. Hence 'the result. Let ue do the same with all our live kitook. Select our best females and breed to the best sires we can get. Do not sell our best females although we -are offered a tempting price. The best is the cheapest in the end. We _have had quite an lobjeet lesson this last two seasons with the. steck- ers that have' been shipped in -from outside parts. With . few; • • (steep- tionsivlbey have been a bad thing for those who tried to finish them. -Thelee will always be itiles and downs in the market, but ?there will always be a demand for the best no matter what kind of stook we are tra.ising and the best it always the theapest from the calf to the block. Land is high and &s still goirig rup SO we annot afford to raise the eglor ones. Let our motto be, "the best is none. fed good for Harem” If we adhere to this it will not only pay in dollars and Cents, but -it will in- crease the pries of held, it will do more to keep the iboys and egirls on the farm than anything elte that Dan be done for them. It will not matter so much which political party is th p wer.

A Be Deer correspondent says: , Red !Deer is, one of the brightest towns in the ' now province .of Al- berta, Its streets are laid out reg- ularly, its business blocks ,s'ar- prise strangers', coming in who are not prepared 0, eee such excellent :stores, and to find snob up to date business methods prevailing. • What should ;1,1 prove a great ac- quisition to the \ town is the erec- tion) by the Red ' ear Mill and Ele- vator Company of a Four mill. The capacity of the mill \will be 150 kiblii. per day. The baSement of stone is already ibuilt, and now the Work- men are engaged On the superstruc- ture, which will be of wood, four storeys, with covering of metal shin- gIes. A flat warettou e of consider- able 'proportions is being built adjoin- ing,and later the co any will build a large elevator, Mn.ger D. D.Pat- ten expects that; by net year enieugeh . wheat Neill be grown in this vicinity to keep the mill going. . The creamery' has had a very suc- cessful season. She utput from May 1st to date was 05P0 lbs. , The town has two brick yards, has stone quarries convenient. valuable coal deposits within ea y distancenind has a charming situati n ' n a broken prairie country with the growth of trees embellishing the% la dscape. Red Deer Chas two chan t red banks, two newspapers, and tibe principal church denominations are represent- ed by suitable buildings.. The school accommodation is excellent, and in almost every way the town .is well equipped: . , John T. Moore, an enterprising citi- zen, is the first member -elect for the province for this district., It was once said that a compart- ment in a first-class ear' could af- ford ample accommodetio for the contingent of Conservativ members sent from Scotland to th Imperial Parliament in London.

Rata • The Governor-General s a Varna& At the banquet in con ection with the Guelph Fat Stook IP ir last" iweek, Earl Gray, Governor Gener-• 'ol of Canada, in replying o the toast in his honor, propoz 4.C1 by President Jones, of the Guelp Fat .Stook Club, expressed his great pleasetre in at last kieilig ri1eed to visit the city of Geielph, th cen- tre from .which 'radiated the la west and best things marking the reg - reds of agricultural science on this continent. The Ontario Agricul ur- al College has an International re- putation as a model institution for the dissemination of knowle ge, making for the welfare and prosp\er- itye of the agriculturalist. Of the hundreds of agricaltairal exhibi- tions he thad attended, the Wint r Fair was noteworthy for the eICC' 1- IOTICe of its eduoational feature At no similar fair had he knoW the judges in duty botand to giv to the assembled spectators his real. sons for his awarl: Nor had h seen lectures . the teonnique- o stook raising 'so full of interept and watched them wittle such keen tette*, tion. He had been asked eeveral times for hiseopinion as to -whether the - olia.nee ni Government in Great Britain walla lie likely to result in the removal ef the embargo ma Canadian cattle. He knew not 'as to that, but he did knew from ex- perience of etock raising on his Nor- thumberland estatu, that Canadian stook was of the very best type a- vailabk. He' recognized that the removal of the embargo w4ul4 te- suit in material benefit to the Ca- nadian, farmer, and ,it would certain- ly benefit • his own grazing inter- ests iea England: However, if it were not removed he was sure tbe Canadian farmer would submit as gracefully as the British manufac- turer euibinitted to the restrictions placed Rpon the entry of his pro - duels into Canada. . Shipment to 'japan. Be noticed with pride that 'recent- ly a successful shipment of Can- adian cattle had, been made to Japan. And the Japanese bad found them equal to the best cattle in the -world and superior to any United States bred- animals. "As long as yon keep lap `the Purity and superiority of yaiir bards," he added, "I• believe you will soon get a practical monoply of the Japanese trade in live ;stook. And there ie likely, too, to be soon a very large demand for :Canadian wheat and dairy produets in Japan, forsee +a large profit for Canad- ians in that trade," In this tonneetion, also, he said, there was a great market for eon- densed milk in japan, and +suggest- ed that an effort be made to capture this trade for Canada. "1 offer these few imperfect Stig- gestiona as a brother farmer," he coneltniede "And I might close with wishing you continued prosperity in your industry, the only complaint concerning which I heard to -day was that prioes for eattle were tgo high."
