In these two points it is evident that w have hit the mark, as we have been makingi records in the special sale lbusiness. Last week we gave special mention of a few lines, and I \ our selling for the week end beat all previous re- cords twice over of any sucla_sales ever held in the ,Towa of Seifortb. There are good reasons for these Conditions, It does not take the buying public long t9, get wise to really good things, and act accordingly. For the next weeklwe will have another supply 9f pretty much the same lines to offer, and wo simply want to hint to all those who have not yet got their share of our exceptional bargains, that we have plenty left of these new, fresh goods, and can sup- ply all comerF.

Shire horses are probably the old- -est breed in England, natives of the isle, so far as 'known, or, rather, the native English horse was -the • found- ation for the modern draughters. The original- English horse was probably a much lighter animal, weighing riot more than two-thirds as much as - Tatton 'Drayking, for instance, or Lord Rothschild's Blythwood. Guelder Rose. The demands of chivalry, rath- er than the exegencies of agriculture, were responsible for the . efforts made to increase the • size of the horses, for it took a powerful animal to carry a fully -armed warrior, clad, in mail.

Improving the Breed. To increase the size of their :Charg- ers, it ispro4ble that importa- tions from' the Low Countries , were mhde, for Flemish horses, like Flem- ish pear e and rabbits and bulbs,have always had a reputation • for sfze - and weight. •Thus„ the breeding .was earrled en, and slow though its pro- gress was, England, as time passed had good enough heavy horses to contribute some of them to the foundatien of the Percheron breed in France. In the time of Henry VIII the efforts to improve English horses werb redoubled. • ;With the advent of the .Araht horses in the days of the Protectorate and after, the English „breed began to be split up and special- ized. One -branch was developed into the thoroughbred, another into the hackney, and the parent etem 'grew into the ohodern Shire. For e cemple of hundied years and more no outside the ceuntry from Barwick -nine miles to the Yeast -the, business centre has also shifted ifrom t he river, and is now located two milles north on the Grassy River Road, where the rail - why crossee it at Stratton Station. The community ia 'a farming one a1 - moot exclusively. 'The` farms were taken, up for the most. part from three tci seven years ago, when Rainy 'River was being " boomhd" , in Western Ontario. Perhaps the majority of the settlers here came from the die- trict west from London to Senna, and north to Wiarton and Owen:, Sound. There are but few .Americaffs. .At one of the appointments. Black Hawk, nearly the whole settlement is High- land Scotch-hIcRites, McLeods, Mc- Kenziee, McMillans, 'tosses, Camp- bells; many coma, from Argenteuil, in Quebec, or direct from Ralph Connorhe Glengarry. Therels Rory' and: An- gus and Peter( and Sandy and Dug - aid ; it's no' great wonder that they speak the Gaelic ! The land is nearly all taken, but not every framf has a tenant e The soil itself is. good, though often very Wet and swampy till drained and cleared. jt grows excellent root crops; as for wheat, what little has thus far been prohuced is probably inferior to that of the West. Large areas have been 'repeatedly burned ov- er, and are now !covered with _scrub' of ten years 'growth, half burnt logs lie thickly strewnt among the shoots of miler, birch! and Willow. There are also stretches of green bush- tamarac, spruce, cedar, and some pine; over a million dollars is said to have been taken out in timber aria • ties at ,one station last winter. .The making of road S is a matter 0 'time. The mud here is of a most tenacious variety,' rivalling that '0 Winnipeg or Regina in earlier days. One is told •that the roadi are good now - compared to what they were once within the memory of the oldest in- he,bitant. •There is a, good deal of "muskeg" to be' found -marsh or swamp covered with moss and "In- dian tea," affording' 'most treachert ; ous footing and impaesable •for ,hor- ses 'except id Winter.

There Is a curious blending in this pio- neer life modernized. _ Many a the settlers in this dig - blood, hes • been introduced into the trict come from. Huron and Bruce as veins of the Shire. Derbyshire re- well as from Glengarry and other mained the headquarters for the breed, just as Norfolk and Yorkshire became famous for the Hackney. • Clyde and` Shiree It is probably true, although Clydes- dale men will be loath to adenit it,. that -the English Shire was largely used in founding the famous ectoch breed of draught horses. Between the two breeds,- as they exist to-dayhhere Is probably Berne slight difference, though modern dealers may insist upon meny points of contrast. ' That the shoulder and pasterns .2f the Ciyae are a trifle more oblique than thoee of the Shire is probably true, • and though this might appear' ,a small matter, it would be sufficient to ma- terially alter the uses of the breeds. Better action in the Clyde would fors low • of mechan.icel. necessity, and greater power of-idrawing heavy loads would be a result of ' the Shire's straighter shoulder. The Clyde is said to be a trifle longer in the leg and of sornew.hat more sluggish disposition than the Engish rival. However, as there is much Shire blood in some of the best Clydes, the differences are more apparent than real. In this co.untry the Scotch breed •has been the more popular, and some of • the finest specimens ever produced have found their way to Canada. „The Shire, however,, has had ,a society ,ot his own for some years past, and is raiiidly approaching the Clyde in favor. Importations of this 'grand English 'breed will surly be stimu- lated by the visit or the Kine,'s horses. •" --• The Rainy River District. Me. George P. Bryce, writing in the Canada Presbyterian, gives an in- teresting description Of that part of New Ontario, known as the Rainy River District, situated oo the Can- adian Northern Railway, west • of Fort Francis. He shys : Once we • reach the valley' of the Rainy River, there are long stretches ,of s-traight and level track. The country • is faat clity-land, heavily wooded.
