' Durin last sea- son four hundred competit rs entered the field, forty-three [of horn were awarded prizes, consisting I each case of a full two weeks' free. tuition In stock and deed judging at he Ontario Agricultural -College, with ransporta- tion -and all other expense paid. The biggest return from a Bingle acre 'of ground 'was that Secure by Camp- bell Lamont of Mount Bryd es, 1n -Mid diesex- County, who secured a profit. of 1167 from a crop of po atoes. Mr.' Lamont used fifteen loads pf manure : and spent 132.62 on 'the ac e plat, se- curing from it -50!. bushel-. Wrn. %I. Cravefbrd, a.

The best was a profit of $ 0.57 from a yield of 83 bushels, the far er being Alfred Dennison,,, of Carleto County. Muskoka and Lanark roduce the next two in order of prof t, althe egh the largest yield of any 4ounty as that secured by Wine Hami ton, of Chester - Ville, in Dundas County, whose cost of production, however, brought his net profit down. Seven farmers secured a net profit of over $25 Jen their acre. Oats were .rated at 50 (cents a bushel. Only one priie was awarded for pea - growing, Ross Mc4enz1e, a Thunder Bay aettler, getting a net return of 153,50 frozn 38 1-2 bushels. The two prize winning acres of turnips were grown by Wm.

It cones in the brief and formal casualty list -"So-and-so, killed in action," with almoet invert - ably the fronhe of a &omen as next fiif kin. (ll:this is new to .Ontario people, who, are now being called‘upon to rna,ke good their offers of sacrifice and to resign themselves to the payment of the price. There have been deaths, Many of them, 'in the training _camp at Salisbury Plainand a number of Ontario men .have "died there from Ill- ness and accident, but the .casualty lists now coming give -• the --names of inen shot to death on the. firing line In . France, where the Princess :Pats went into action some days ago, and where after a *brilliant charge, *captur- ing several -German trenches only 83 out a 'two hundred returnei.-C` From now ion this story, Willtbe told with ever increasing frequency, as more of the Canadian first contingent go - into action in Prance. Already the mob- ilization camps are sending over rein- forceinents, figuring on the killing, of thousands of Canadians already across We water. The probable mortality is all set out in the hervice tables, so much for infantry, so much for cav- alry, etc., and the percentage is very high. Up to now Ontario , has been spending money, raising and training troops, and sending them away, but this has all been easy compared with what is coining 'now,_ the terse cabled coinmunication that a husband here, a father there, a son or brother, will never ceme home. ln the meantime 'all arrai?gements are being made for the movement of the second contingent and the recruit - of the third. :As (fast as the ranks of the -Canadians are thinned at the front theyare to be Silled .by the con- stant -streanr moving eastward from the Dolhinion.,'I'he next batch 'will like- ly go some time this month or 'next. The 36th Peel regiment is :the .first in this district to pass its 'Men for the third contingent. The other regiments are all preparing and the allotments are easily -forthcoming= in all Cases. As :an illustration of the spirit of *willingness to serve, which is general among the Ontario regiments, there is the -case of the Ninth Mississauga horse. This regiment is .to contribute .a stotal of 80 noncoms and men and .four _officers for the Canadian Mounted Rifles which will go with the third contingent. When this .regiment paraded and the balk for recruits for overseas was made, every manstepped forward. .All wanted to go. ' in 'Toronto a new, reginsent'-has been formed and is being recrrited largely from the Home Guard. The • Home Guard was formed by civilians soon af- ter the war started, for ;purposes of home defence, and many -well-known .business -men were found in its ranks. Difficulties arose ovet the 'question Of the military status of -the guard and -over, the question of equipment. The guard paraded a few nights -ago with its own bugle band and after the hat- ade many of the guards enrolled as members of the new 109th King's Own regiment of guards. This regiment will contribute men for service in France, . • ThePoultry Show 'The Annual Show of the Huron Poul- try and Pet Stock Association was held in Goderich, on Tuesday and Wednes- day of last week. The show on thc whole was, a success. There ,wefe over 800 birds On exhibition, some •of them having won honors at the 'late Provin- cial Show at Guelph. Besides local ex- hibitors there were exhibitors from St. Catherines'Port Dalhousle,„Brantford, West 'Montrose, Tavistock, Milverton, Listowel and many other outside points were present. The atten- tion of Many visitor e was attracted by the exceptionally good display .ok Bar- red Rocks. 'These bird a are. -real beau- ties and the judge found 1t necessary to make the most minute and -careful inspection of every -point before award- ing the prizes. The class ,of Wyandottes also called forth much favorable comment. Mr. Aitken, of"OM- verton. did welt with hie *birds in this, class. 'Among the local' 'exhibitors we notice the name of Mr. 3. Shaw, of Goderich, appears quite frequently, es- -pecially in the Minorca and Barred Rock classes. Mr. Shaw had splendid success, carrying off four cups and several specials. Mr. H, P. Lashbrook, also of lGoderich, had la good exhibit of Rhode Island Reds, of which the owner might well be proud. Mr. Carter, of Constance, also had a good exhibit of forty-eight birds of various varie- ties. in the bantam class and among the (pigeons there were many' entries which ereated a favorable impression and which added to the interest of -the exhibition. There, was -room for larger competition in birkeye, ducks and geese, but the birds shown were un- doubtedly worthy of the prizes 'award- ed. Mr. •Billings, of St. Marys, did the hidging, and gave general satisfaction. A meeting of the members -of the Association was held in the council chamber Wednesday 'evening, for the purpose of electing officers for the en- suing year and attending to other bust - peas. Mr. W.
