For this service we will give a year's subscription to WOMAN'S WORK for each thousand inhabitants, according to last census. If your town has a population of 2,000, a list of names for it will entitle you to receive WOMAN'S WORK for two years, or will entitle yourself and some friend to reteive it one year each. If your town has 5,000 inhabitants you will be entitled to receive WOMAN'S Woax for five years, or yourself and four friends to receive it for one year each. Never a better chance to make presents. We have special blanks pre- pared for this work, and these must be used in every case., They will be sent, with two sample copies of WOMAN'S WORK, on receipt of ten cents in stamps. We can arrange with only one person in each town or city and first appli- cants will always have preference. Address at once, Weesesee WQREI Atheus, Georgia. •s. The Binder Twine Meeting. The Binder Twine meeting, held in the town hall, Gorrie drew out a large gathering of representative farmers and others interested in the Patrons of Industry and their work. Promptly on time Township President Winters took the chair and in his open- ing address gave an outline of the mission and objects of the Patrons of Nash bp paid for -*hat work is done, and tendersbereceived again up to the next council meeting at12 o'clock, to include all print* and advertising for the year 1893 from this date, and election papeis and assessment schedules for 1894.—Carried. [En. NOTE.—As there has been con- siderable talk over this matter in the township since csuncil meeting day we lay the following facts before our readers : When the, tenders were opened it was found that the GAZETTE offered to do the work for $49, while the Vidette ten- der was $55. Mr. Nash contended that No. 12. ..11M1111.111.11M= Mr. Gregg, that $5 be given Mrs. Walker and Mrs. bleDermid, as charity. —Carried. Moved by Mr. Ferguson, seconded by Mr. Doig, that the treasurer's bonds be laid before the council at its next-meet- ing.—Carried. Moved by Mr. Doig, seconded by Mr. Gregg, that the tenders for the town- ship printing bethrown out and Mr. Industry, and explaining the necessity for concerted action on the part of farmers. Mr. John Pritchard, organizer, fol- lowed. Patrons are neither Grit or Tory, but must make their weight felt in order to regain the right taken ftom them by monopolies and combines. There was some difficulty found in get- ting the farmers to stick together, but it is naturally harder to get 200,000 far- mers to hold the same views than a combine of 15 or 20 capitalists. We must overcome this by making the meetings interesting, and in the main farmers _would be found standing shoulder to shoulder in the battle against allied capital. Mr. Brooks, representing the P. of I. Binder Twine Co., was then introduced, and spoke for about an hour in a4 in- teresting an instructive manner. After complimenting the previous speakers he urged the farmers to throw aside their prejudices and join together for the common good. The Association has come to stay ; it has gained in numbets and is now stronger than ever, although a few have dropped out and au oc- casional lodge has gone down. He was down on the N. P. no matter what party had introduced it. The farmer should not be the fat goose to be plucked by the few. He illustrated his remarks with anecdotes. He did not appreciate filling the position of Minister of Agriculture with a lawyer, who, if given a pail to milk might go at it like a pump, using the cow's tail for a handle. He then spoke on the question of binder twine, giving a hictory of the rise of the present monopoly, and how the Brant - lord Company 'was to be- operated. He stated the recent reduction of the duty need not reduce the price of twine as the combine would close its factories and be supplied from their Association in the U. S., so that our farmers would be supplied later in the season and per- haps at a higher price than ever. He urged the farmers to stand by the Brantford Co., even if it was necessary to buy a few shares, in order to Lee our- selves from the monopolists. He explained the working of the Company's plan. Any farmer, whether a Patron or not, could take shares. The com- pany has already commenced operations and is manufacturing twine now. The stock is to be kept entirely in the hands of farmers, who are not to receive their profits in getting twine cheaper than their neighbors but in dividends upon their stock, which would not be more than 10 % this season, the balance to go to rest account. At the conclusion of his address he was asked many questions from the farmers present, who were much interested, and at the close of the meeting, which appeared to be very harmonious, about $250 worth of shares were subscribeet • Howick Council. Fordwich, Feb. 15th 18934, The council met _to -day. in dkown's hotel, pursuant to adjournment, mem- bers all being present, the reeve in the chair. , Minutes .of last meeting read and approved: By-law No. 1, read and passed.

By-law No. 2, read and passed. Moved by Mr. Ferguson, seconded by Mr. Graham, that Mrs. Angst receive $10 charity, to be left in the hands of Mr. Moyer, and that Mr. Moyer receive $1 per month from Jan. 1st, 1893, for rent of house for her. --Carried. _ Moved by Mr. Doig, seconded by Mr, Ferguson, that the collector for the west division receive a debenture for $8.52,' taxes remitted as -charity, and $2 of dog tax, and that the collector deal with the dog according to law.—Carried. _leaved by Mr. Graham, seconded by - • -- 1,„ : the GAZETTE tender was not received " the day before the council meeting," as he understoodsthe motion,and that it did not include all the work. Mr. Green was called into the room to explain and - stated that his tender covered all the work called for by the motion. He was then requested_ to add the words " and advertising," and the council decided that the tender was a proper one. Mr. Nash then stated that he had per- formed some of the work the tenders covered. The clerk explained that he had ordered the assessment schedules (price $7 or $7.50) from Nash, as the assessor had to have them, as required by law, on Feb. 1st. Mr. Green stated that the clerk had not told him, tiffs when giving him the forms, from which to make his estimate, but told him 1200 copies of these schedules would be required; he therefore claimed it was no fault of his, but he was willing to furnish the schedules for next year, which mould Make the tenders again even; or if the council would pass the account for the schedules already furnished, mid make the tender they accepted include next year's schedules, the tenders would be on a perfectly equal footing. The clerk explained that although he knew at the tine that the schedules for this year were already furniehed he instruct el Mr. Green to tender for them so as to avoid this very teouble next year, as the assessor had to have the schedules be- fore tenders could be advertised for and opened. The council then offered to pass Nash's account for the work done so far this year but he could 'not state to them the amount. He was willing to be paid the amount and then deduct that sum from his tender, which would make it the lowest, but the Reeve objected to lowering his tender by deducting pay for part of the work from, its face unless a similar amount was, deducted from the other; but he thought if Nash was paid up and the two tenders made to include next year's schedules the matter would be equal and the council could proceed to decide which tender to accept. Deputy -Reeve Ferguson concurred in this opinion an 1 moved that the GAZETTE tender, being the lowest, be accepted. He could no t get a seconder for his motion. The Reeve thought the GAZETTE tender should be accepted and he would not hesitate in giving the casting vote should it come to a tie. Mr. Gregg asked the two printers to withdraw their tenders, but Mr. Green declined, stating that new tenders could not possibly be made more fair and equal than the tenders now before them and it would be foolish for him to withdraw, being the lowest; if members did not wish his tender to get the work they would have to take upon themselves the responsibility of throwing it out. The motion to throw the tenders out was then passed, Messrs. Gregg, Graham, and Doig voting for it and Mr. -Ferguson diosenting.] The following accounts were ordered paid : J. &B. Hastio, for gravel....„.„ .„ ..... $ 742 8050 R. Ross, salary as collector N.

Dene, Clerk. Binder Twine. Editor Gazette :-- Considerable ela- tion is felt among the Patrons of Indus- try in consequence of' the establisbment of a binder twine factory in the city of Brantford, They deserve credit for the Persistent manner they are 'attacking the twine combine, more especially so, the commodity being of such universal need and the price above what it can be profitably manufactured at. The duty being cut down one-half, its manufac- ture in the central prison, and the new factory in Brantford, will all have a ten- dency to reduce prices, and no doubt the corning season will see it placed on the market at very close figures, e-nd possibly below the cost of manufactur- ing., In view of this we foresee small or no dividends for the shareholders of the new factory in Brantford, besides the terms and conditions in which the stock is being taken up appears to me to place the small shareholders at the mercy of the larger ones. No doubt a large number of farmers in this locality will be taking shares, be- ing carried away by the fascination of what they are accomplishing, they may be led into a trap—perhaps not purpose- ly set for them—but the prospectus shows a shrewd forethought for the fa- ture that portends loss to farmers who take small shares, and large profits eventually to the executive who are more largely interested.' All that is re- quired is a depreciation of the stock of 25 or 30 per cent. to make small hold- ers uneasy as to the result of uneasy as to the resultofan undertaking in which very profitable results were foreshad- owed by the promoters, causing a loss of confidence that will induce them to sell before a collapse is reached. No other farmers will buy under the in- fluence if unfavorable reports, when no alternative is left but to sell to the executive or large shareholders who might connive at such a result and buy up the stock very cheap from the effects of a financial scare, and thus enrich themselves. Ten dollar holders would not lose much, but the aggregate might be considerable. I don't say this result may follow, or has been anticipated by the promoters of the factory, but from what I -can gather from current infor- mation regarding the sceeme such a con- tingency might arise. W hile we commend the Patrons for agitation when the farming interests are affected, it seems that they are mistaking the object of the organization when they go into business themselves as manufacturers. Nor do we think it will be profitable for them to undertake to right all existing wrongs, inasmuch as they will get their hands too full and possibly neglect their own private interests. A mutual exchange of ideas in regard to the farm, and the political economy of agriculture—if I may so and about FARMER. speak, seems commendable the limit of their usefulness. Yours, A Belmore. The storm has abated and booming again. Mr. R. Lane, is doing a rushing busi- ness in his saw mill just now. He has a large stock of logs at present, and the saw keeps buzzing from 7 o'clock in the morning until six o'clock at night under the able management of Mr. J. L Abram. The Merchants of this town are look- ing forward to,better times as they aro rapidly filling up their stores with new and fashionable spring goods. Call and see for yourself. Our new and enterprising miller, Mr. J. Soree, is making things hum, and -the farmers need not be afraid of having to lift their bags for there are three good sized men on hand who will be pleascd to try their strength in that way, as it will be mora preferable than taking a fall out of each other to exercise their muscle.
