Thirty-seven pupils wrote from the

W. Fowler and Knox had taverns.
There was not a foot of gravel road
in Huron then, it was all mud, mud to
Goderich. r On one trip from Strat-
ford we got as far as Fowler's. in
Harpurhey, where we had to stay a
few days and when we started again
we only got our load about,'.a mile
where we had to put it into, a barn
and walk back and stay on a while
longer. I believe this was in: the
fall of 1857. Another tixne I got my
load as far as _17!r. Cole's, west of
Clinton, where I had to leave it for
a week, as it was nothing but mud
up hill and down hill.
Once coming from Stratford I had
a passenger that wanted to get to a
place by the name of Bluevale, so
I tried to find the place and turned
off at the corner, where Seaforth, is
now. We passed through a little spot
called_ Ainleyville, now called Brussels,
and I often wonder if it is as big as
its namesake. I never saw the place
before and- have never seen it since.
We travelled over stumps and creeks
and through the bush till we found
the spot we were looking for. I
left my load there and set out again
in a few sticks of wood or kindling for Goderich on a road that was just
and sprinkled coal oil and lit a match a track between the trees. The rec-

with the fall of the house the black
and charred body of Mrs. Maloney
was revealed to the sorrowing crowd.
This is the same old story but it
will go on • for long. People of the
world tosday are recogleizing the
fact that there is too much car�less-
ness, wJiich results in fire.
Fire ends up in loss, ruin and
people going t homeless. Wake
up! and clean your place of oily
rags, be careful - with matches. Be'
very cautious when using coal oil,
as in the story where the coals were
still hot and blazed up in her face.
It is a good idea to put matches
in a safe place where mice or chil-
dren cannot get hold of them. In
ten years there will be better accom-
modations for protecting the, homes
and factories of Ontario than
before.

Anna Sutherland.
Zetland we went to 'Manchester and
from there ~on to Goderich. -
In my travels, I once saw a sign
east of Stratford, which said:
Within this hive, we are all alive,
It was a small frame house on one
of the side streets, where ,the fire
started. The flames shot tip into the
air like angry monsters, waiting to
devour their helpless victims..
The flames soon died away and
only a few pieces remained burning,
of the timber.
"Well, it's too bad about John," ,
said one of the group of hien stand-
ing watching the .firemen at their
heroic work
"Yes," said another, "the house
was enough loss, but little Jake lock-
ed in like that."
Just as he finished speaking two
firemen went past carrying the body
of little Jake, a four year old child.
"Why do parents leave little chil-
dren like that at home alone?" ask-
ed a third.
Instead of being like John Shnith
we can prevent fires by putting boxes
of matches on high shelves where
the children- can't reach them; pre-
veet spontaneous combustion by put-
ting oily rags in tin cans; don't put
ashes out until you are sure there is
no fire left in them. Be careful of
lamps. Don't buy one with a small
base, a long stem and a large top,
but buy the evenly balanced ones.
And in a barn, if -the lanterns upsets,
pick it up immediately anddon't let
the oil run out. - .
The origin of fires is plain to us.
It is not plain. to thousands, of par-
ents who day by day take such
chances. We can hardly believe it
but fiifteen million dollars annually
are burnt in fries.
A good thing to help prevent fires
is a fire .extinguisher, •and know how
to use it. '
You also get your insurance but
that will not bring back the little
children that were burned.

halted at the Caronbrook hotel and

that the bees were in the hive also.
There was nothing for it but to getout my team .'again and go on to
Mitchell, which I reached ' about
eleven o'clock. -
In the fall of 1857 we started for
Kincardine with two loads and got
to Port Albert where we saw a man
come off the lake with a horse and -
cutter. We thought we would try
that route, so piled the two loads
on to one sleigh and struck out on

had to leave the goods in the bush,
where they stayed until M'r. Murray
could get oxen . and get throughto

where Lucknow now stands.
There were lots of way side inns
in the early days. There were six

tance of twelve miles, and as many
between Goderich and Smith's Hill,
a distance of six miles. All are gone

I read with a great deal of interest
the two letters in your paper written
by Mr. Powell and Mr. McNaughton.
It recalls to me that they were speak-
ing of Seaforth and Harpurhey about
the time the latter moved down to
Seaforth. When the railroad came
one, Carmichael, started to build at
Seaforth and put up the first house
on the southwest corner of the cross
roads. In the fifties when I travelled
the road from Stratford to Goderich,
there wen no Seaforth and no Dublin,
but there was a place called Caron -
brook; then Harpurhey, and then
there was a place, started west of
Harpurhey called Alma. As the Rus-
sian war was going on at that time.
and the Battle of Alma - had been
fought, that is probably when they
got the name. Some houses were
built there but I think they were
moved afterwards. ; The queen's
bush was all about the spot in those
days and the price of land was one
dollar per acre. - I remember two
families moving froin Zorra to Alma
by the names of Buckle and Dale.
Perhaps some of them are, still liv-
ing.
I was in Stratford for a load
of- goods the ;'night the post office
there was burned, and the postmaster
and a child lost their lives in the
fire. At that time there was a tavern
at Caronbrook, -on the boundary be-

Prices for hogs to -day compare more
favorably with the price of grains
than for some time and the demand
exceeds the m.arketings. Canadian
overseas markets demand steady sup- ..
port if they are not to be lost.
In no line of livestock is the sup-
plyd cer-
tainso cut down. It is already er-
tain that hog prices and consequent-
ly bacon prices will remain compar-
atively high next year. Whatever is
done to restore supplies must be done
quickly. The breeding season for
pigs begins in the first week in No-
vember and continues only until about
the middle of December. If the op-
portunity is allowed to slip the re-
covery in numbers will be so retarded
that our present cheap feeds will be
still more cheapened, leading to loss,
HOGS AND BACON WILL BE
SCARCE
Some farmers have been quick to
grasp the lesson for 1921 in the sharp
decline lately in the number of breed-
ing sows. A canvass of hog breeders
in Ontario in the last two weeks
shows that the trade in young stock
to _replenish the supplies on farms
has not for many years been more
active than this fall: One well known
breeder in Ontario states he is almost
sold out. Witlk twenty-five years'
knowledge of the Canadian bacon
trade, he attributes this tp the fact
that farmers have come to under-
stand that there is "sure money" for
the man who can breed for litters
next spring.
Yet the awakening has to go fur-
ther. In some sections of the Prairie
Provinces the drop was as much as
60 -to 75 per cent. compared with
two years ago. In the Eastern and
Maritime Provinces also marked re-
ductions have been recorded. Not
until every farmer understands that
it is best to keep or secure' and to
breed at once hips normal number
of sows will conditions begin to be
steadied. '
The importance of a quick recovery
cannot -be over -emphasized. The
great harvest of feed grains now
available will largely be disposed of
at a loss if not fed to livestock.

BIG FALLING OFF IN HORSE
BUSINESS
Receipts of horses' at the Toronto
Union Stock Yards Market in. Sep-
tember this year amounted to 21
head. In September last year the;
number was 925. No wonder the
horse market at this point closed
down indefinitely. For six big live-
stock mar3•ets in the Dominion the
total number of horses `received in
September was 2,684, as against
7,952 in the san'ie month last year.
Calgary, the biggest horse market,
judging by figures for September
had 3,195 horses in September,
1919, and 1,179 head in September
this year. -Montreal (East End)
with 896 head last September and
420 hear in the same month a year
ago, has been the nearer to keep-
ing up its end as .a horse market
while Montreal (Point St. Charles)
market was second with 635 head
this September against 1,206 head in
September, 1919.
For many months past Toro 'to
horse dealers have found Montreal' a
good market for horses, and the fact
that the stockyards market at
To-
ronto has closed down must not be
taken as an indication that 'the horse
