' THOUSANDS EXPRESS GRATITUDE On November 27,1929, a letter dat- ed November 23, was received at the Sargon offices advising that in one week one drug firm alone had receiv- ed orders for Sargon to be shipped to Cavite, Philippine Islands; Coca Solo, Canal Zone; Belebrook, Irelani, and Paris, France. Only recently a well known resident of Denver, Colorado, who had been restored to health by Sargon, sent a full treatinept to London.

Ontario. Coming, as these people did, from what was then and still is the finest breeding ground for high class live stock, they were imbued with the idea that farming without farm animals was a rather hopeless affair. It was this desire of these Britishers to have a few good beasts around them that early made Ontario a live stock dis- trict. Not only were these farmers, in this new country, interested in pos- sessing good live stook but many of them possessed the enterprise and business ability to go back to the old land and make importations that were not only useful to themselves, but worked wonders in the improvement of the farm animals in the districts in which they lived. A great many of these men came from parts of England and Scotland in which Shorthorn cattle were bred, and the great majority of them seem- ed to decide that Shorthorns were par excellence the cattle for Canada. In this they made no mistake as the farmers' milk, butter, cheese and beef could -all be well supplied by these cattle, and they were the mainstay, for many years, of the families who were turning a heavily timbered wil- derness into a delightful and prosper- ous agricultural community. Space will only perrnit the men- tion of a very few of the men who made Shorthorn history' in Ontario, and whose cattle crossed the line to contribute to the breed's pre-emin- enre on this continent. Adam Fergu- son, of WaterdoWn, Ontario, who be- gan breeding Shorthorns in 1835, was one of the earliest importers and one cow he brought over from England that year, Beauty —30—by Snowball, produced the largest number of des- cendants of perhaps any, female Short- horn brought to Ontario, They were good useful cattle, many of them showing good prospects but dame fa- shion in pedigrees decreed that they should not be popular and of late years they, have almost disappeared. It was in 1854 that George Miller, of Markham, and William. M. Miller, of Claremont, made their first impor- tation, purchased from Robert Syme, Red Kirk, Dumfriesshire, . Scotland. These cows, Miss Syme and Red Rose both by Baron of Kidsdale were riv- als of Beauty-30—in populating the Province with Shorthorns. This was the beginning of Shorthorn importa- tions by the Miller family, It was continued by the late John Miller, of Thistle Ha, a nephew of George Mil- le, dad later by John Miller's son, Robert, and his grandson, John Mil- ler, Jr., of Ashburn. The late William Miller, of Iowa, anether scion of the family, and Miller Bros., of Clare- mont, have all played an important 'part in the development of the breed on this continent. Robert Miller's greateet single contribution was the importation for E., S. Kelly, of Bap - ton Pearl then carrying the future greatasire, and one of the greatest of all time on this continent, Whitehall Sultan. Robert Miller has bred, im- ported, bought and sold Shorthorns without number and has been one of the outstanding farces in moving for- ward the breed. John Miller, Jr., just completed placing the awards at the International Show, at Chicago, a few days ago and has made a place for himself among leading Shorthorn men. In parthers.hip with W. A. Dryden he aes imported a great many good cat- tle. With George Miller was associat- ed for a time a gTeat judge ani skill- ful appraiser of values in cattle, Sim- Beettie. P'e worked for Uncle "Geordie," as his employer was nam- ed, and like Jacob, "he served seven years for Rachel," and finally became the son-in-law. "Simmon," as pater - families called him, became a larger importer of good cattle and finally went to look efts* the live stock busi- ness of Hon. M. H. Cochrane, of Hill - burst. Quebec. In this same year, 1854, F. W. Ston.' 'f Moreton Lodge. Guelph, made hi first Shorthorn importation. Stone was as typical an English farmer as the Millers were Scotch. His adver- tisement; always spoke of his "Herds and Studs and Flocks," as though one might have been reading an adver- tisernent in the London Live Stock Journal. In the following year, a Yorkshire, Englishman. who had settled at Ed- monton, in Peel Co., began importing. This was .Tohn Snell, a ruddy, round faced Englishman, who with his son, J. C. Snell, laid the foundations of Shorthorn breeding in that Raft of Ontario. They were ably supplement- ed later by John R. Craig an enter- prising farmer who imported and ex- hibited at a great many shows, and later ran ten thousand cattle on the Oxley ranch in Alberta, always giving his preference to Shorthen It was in 1871 that therlate James T. Davidson made his -first importa- tions from the herd of the late Amos Cruickshank and what a wealth of Scotch Shorthorn blood flowed through the animals that fir the next fourteen years crossed the Atlantic from "Sittylen House," in Saotland, to "Sittyton Grove" in Ontario. From the day that Baron Victor darried the blood of the Cruicksbank &attle into the herd of Gol. W. A. Harris, of Linwood, Kansas, down to the pres- ent time, these great cattle' have con - timed to impress and perfect the Shorthorn herds on this, continent. So Much has been written of Mr.'' Dav- idson's importations that i4 would seem superfluous to go into them here. When the Cruickshank calves cross- ed the water/they required that care and attention which alone can make a beast fill the eye and please the chattier. The man who took charge of this work was Mr. Davidson's son, 44 so named James L., and he was it master hand in that art. When Ed - weed Cruickshank, nephew of Amos, NriAterl Mr. Davidson on one occasion the latter expressed the opinion that the lot of calves just arrived ladled a little in spring of rib. "Give them to Jimmie," said Mr. Cruickshank; "hell soon spring their ribs." . The lad Jimmie who cared for theee' cattle is now in his 83rd year,...kit stilI keen to talk about Shorthorns. Some time ago -tasked hint 'hat lie considered the best hull calf that came to iiliem frcen Sittyton. "It was a roan one Ove sold t� Wiflie Watt," he replied. "Aye I now remember it; From Minnesota and Wisconsin and • throughout the Northwest, many let- ters of this kind have been received advising that users of Sargon are sending it to relatives back in their • old countries of Sweden and Norway. Many such letters and endorsements a have been received from men of • prominence, including former gover- nors, business and professional men, , mayors, state and county officials, and even Ministers of the Gospel who have deemed it their duty to come forward and tell what Sargon had done for them. 'Oonly a short time ago, for instance the vice president of one of the South's largest corporations walked into a Memphis drug store and pur- chased his sixth bottle of Sargan. He had taken three bottles himself and stated that he had received such won- derful benefit from it, he mit getting the other for relatives and friends. FOUR MEN IN ONE FIRM ARE , TAKING IT Another well-known business man who .had also been greatly benefitted by Sargon, recommended it to his business associates and employees, so that four different men in one firm are taking the Sargon treatment as the result of only one bottle originally sold. These are only a few of thousands of such cases which have arisen since Sargon was placed on the market in April, 1928. • Sargon is extensively advertised, it' is true, but such a large and rapidly growing demand could not be brought about by advertising alone. One bot- tle is sold in a neighborhood through advertising, but ten more may be sold, in that community after the first bottle 'produces results. People are always willing to talk about their ail- ments, but they are more than willing to tell others of the medicine that helps them, Not a day nor a week passes that does not bring hundreda of state- ments from the people concerning the good this medicine is doing, and recit- ing the circumstances of case after ' case that would convince the most skeptical. Sargon has attained its prestige and widespread popularity through actual results accomplished — not empty promises. This celebrated med- icine may now be obtained in Sea - forth at Mr. C. Aberhart's, who has been awarded the exclusive Sargon agency for this town. t CUT TRES OUT THE HPRON EXPOSITOR OLD ENGLISH RECIPE -FOR. CA- TARRH, CATARRHAL ,DEAF- NESS AND HEAD NOISES If you know of some one who is troubled with Catarrhal Deafness, head noises or ordinary catarrh cut out this formula and hand it to them and you may have been the means of saving some peer sufferer :perhaps from total deafness. In England sci- entists for a 'long time past have re- eagnized that catarrh is a constitu- tional disease and necessarily requires constitutional treatment. Sprays, inhalers and nose douches are liable to irritate the delicate air passages and force the disease into the middle ear which frequently means total deafness, or else the dis- ease may be driven down the air pas- sages towards the lungs 'which is equally as dangerous. The following formula which is -used extensively in the damp English climate is a con- stitutional, treatment and should prove especially efficacious to sufferers here who live under more favorable clim- ate conditions. Secure from your druggist 1 ounce of Parmint (Double strength). Take this home and add to it I/4 pint of hot water and a little granulated sugar; stir until dissolved. • Take one table- spoonful four times a day. This mill often bring quick relief from distress- ing head noises. Clogged nostrils should open, breathing became easy and hearing improve as the inflam- mation in the eustachian tubes is re- duced. Parmint used in this way acts directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system and has a tonic action that helps to obtain the desir- ed results. The preparation is easy to make, costs little and is .pleasant to take. Every person who has catarrh or head noises or is hard of hearing should give this treatment a trial. CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE BREED BY ONTARIO CANADIAN BREEDERS The province of Ontario, then known as Upper Canada; was largely settled by' Scottish, Irish and English people. These people left the British Isles to make a home in the new Brit- ish Colony, unhampered by some of the conditions that a dense popula- tion had given to their homeland. many of them were farmers, or farm workers, who saw an opportunity of °owning their own farms in a new country and so crossed the seas with high hopes for the future. The first fifty years of settlement in .Ontario proved that these hopes were backed by a will to do, and a cottage to fade the greatest of pion- eer' difficulties. The labor, their first dealing cost would stop' the pioneers et new countries to -day, but they per- severed, performing tasks that now • —7— Horse 'Ailments •reattee stealited, pally greats,lywehaa- tbittaioll iyala fistula, bolls and swellings, use tea.

B, Watt 'of Elora, wieselie the - greatest show and breeding bull of his time. Mr. Dryden was for many years an ineporter and an exhibitor of the first rank in Ontario, and was succeeded by his son W. A. Dryden, who is prob- ably the best known Shorthorn breed- er and judge on the continent. He bred the bull, Master Ruby, that in the herd of. Hera Bros. & Reynolds won the get of sire at the International, and sired bulls and females, which, with their progeny have had a long list of show yard triumphs t. their credit. Bulls and females have gone out from Maple Shade to many Amer- ican and Canadian herds. Broadback, a "Shorthorn bull calf bred by Mr. 'Dryden, won the grand championship at the 1928 Congress show and sale and sold to the Iowa Agricultural Col- lege, Ames, Iowa. Mr. Dryden bas been one of Canada's most enterpris- ing importers of Shorthorns and many herds have been improved through the introduction of animals he has brought across the water. W. A. Dryden has been a guiding spirit in many breed meetings, has been a firm friend of live stock, and to say that he is a worthy successor to his father is paying him no mean tribute. Both he and his father filled the President's chair in the Dominion Shorthorn Breeders' Association. John and William B. Watt, of Salem, Ontario, were breeders and ex- hibitors of Shorthorn cattle in the seventies. These men came from Ab- erdeenshire and were related to the late William Duthie. They brought with them to Canada their fondness for the Shorthorn breed and indulged their fancy to the full. William B., or "Willie" Watt, as he was known to his friends, was a rare judge of cattle and plaeed "quality" as the first essential in a good sire. One of the first great bulls owned by these breed- ers was Barmpton Hero, bred by Hon. John Dryden, sired by imported Royal Barmpton and out of the great im- -ported cow Mimulus already referred to. This bull, calved in May of 1878, was for a number of years invincible in the showing and at the same time a remarkably prepotent sire. Bulls by him went to head many of the' good herds in Ontario. Later, the Watts, used the import- ed Cruickshank bull Abbotthburn and from him bred Young Abbottsburn that in the hands of Col. Moberly, of Kentueky, swept the show yards of the United States and won the Inter- breed Grand Championship at the World's Fair, at Chicago, in 1893. J. A. Watt, succeeded his father, W. B. Watt, and is at present President of the Dominion Shorthorn Association and judged the Shorthorns at the 1928 Chicago International. J. A. Watt imported Gainford Marquis and in this made lasting Shorthorn his- tory in Both Canada and the United States. Gainford Champion, Gain- ford Perfection and Gainford Match- less, bred many good cattle across the line. "Perfection" was one of the classiest show bulls ever bred in Can- ada. As importer, breeder and judge J. A. Watt has made Shorthorn his- tory of a high class. The name of Gardhouse has been identifiedwith Shorthorns for nearly sixty years. First it was James Gardhouse and Sons and nova it is John Gardhouse and Sons, and J. M. Gardhouse and sons, and more mem- bers of this family are engaged in the business than probably any other in Ontario. They bred/ the bull St. Valentine that in the herd of J. G. Robbins & Sons, Horace, Indiana, sir- ed "The Lad For Me," "Ruberta" and many other show ring favorites. There has scarcely been a year when Gard - house cattle have not made a good showing at leading Ontario Exhibi- tions. J. M. Gardhouse has won a number of steer championships to hold up the commercial end of the business and John has had a good many winners in breeding classes. Both these men have judged at al- most every larger show in Canada and both have served as President of the Dominion Shorthorn Breeders' As- sociation. My story grows in length when it dawns on me that I should hark back to the days of John Hope and the Bow Park and its "Silk Edged" show herd of Bates cattle,,. and Clarence Kirklevington of immortal memory. What should I say of W. D. Flatt, Senator Edwards, J. 3. & W. Russell, and a bost of others? They must sometime make 'another story if the not inconsiderable lehgth of this one doesn't prohibit a second. I must have a word about the breed- ers of the day. James Douglas & Sons, who in recent years made Browndale history, seldom edballed in the records of Shorthorn breeding. Championships and grand champions were for a time a very common com- modity about the Douglas barns. Only once did Douglas exhibit at the hi- cago International and then it s to make as great a raid on the prize list as their forebears used to make upon the cattle of the bated sas in olden times. junior and reserve grand championship, get of sire, young herd and several other awards 'were captured. Bulls' bred by Doug- las bred well in other herds. and Browndale Count crossed the line made history in the herd of Thomas E. Wilson, of Chicago, that astonish- ed the Shorthorn breeders. Two Shorthorn bulls in the United Statehave recently been deemed worthy of having a monument erect- ed to their memory and both were bred in Canada. Gainford Perfection, by J. A. Watt and Browndale Count, by James Dottglas & Sons. James Douglas is first vice president and will he the next president of the Dominion Shorthorn Association. • The show yard victories of T. A. Russell are fresh in the memory of everybody. His twinnings at the Sesqui-Centennial at Philadelphia and the International are well known. For several years be has exhibited at the larger Canadian shows and won ptiz- es and championships without num- ber. This year he won first for Breeder's Herd (all by Matchless Dale) at Brandon, Calgary, Edmonton, Saskatoon, Regina, Ottawa, the C. N. E Toronto, and London. His young hull, Dale's Lodge Keeper, the last he w111 exhibit by Matehleas Dale, was undefeated this year and was Junior and Reserve grand champion at Ot- tawa, the C. N. E. at Toronto, Lon- don, and the Royal ehow atToronte, JANUARY 17, 1930. his name was Ahbotsburn:'-' This bull was. by Roan Gauntlet and out of Amaranth by Barmpton. Mr. Watt bought this calf for 6500 on Jimmie Davidson's word, and we'll have some- thing to say about him later, When these shipments of the whole calf crop from Sittydon in Aberdeen- shire • to Davidson in Canada were made competition became' vesy keen for these cattle. (Buyers often went to quarantine to see them and the rivalry knew no friends. Two• ;ex- tensive buyers from the United States were J. H. Kissinger, from Missouri, and J. H. Potts, of Illinois. When the 1881 importation -arrived both these men were on hand and when they completed their business with Mr. Davidson they were still eager to buy more Scotch Shorthorns. Mr. Dav- idson told Kissinger that John Dry- den, later Minister of Agriculture, had a Cruickshank heifer, Barmpton Vio- let, that he was pricing. Kissinger warned Davidson not to tell Potts, and said, "When we go to Dryden's, you place your hand on this heifer, and if she suits in I will take out my watch as a signal I have bought her at this price." Shortly after they entered the yard Mr. Davidson put his hand on the heifer, and so well did she please Kissinger that he hurriedly pulled out his watch, and in his excitement, shouted to his fellow visitor, 'Come Potts/ we must get around, time is going." These are the incidents that "jimmi'e" Davidson loves to talk about and he has a very clear recollection of many of them. I asked "Uncle Jimmie," as he is familiarly called, what was the gr - itest breeding bull they ever had. The reply came immediately, "Crown Prince of Athelstone 2nd, all his caiv.'s *ere good." This calls to mind the breeder of this hull, Hon. David rhristie, who also made his contgibu- Hoe to "the breed. His farm, with its palatial residence and magnificent ams, is rtow owned by James Doug - la" & Sons and Shorthorns again hold swev at Bow Park, Now that a Daeglas owns this farm, to which Douglas Shorthorns were imported by Den. David Christie, it seems a pity ", is not called "Athlestaneford," the historic name of the farm from which the cattle came. The name of' Richard Gibson stands high among contributors to Short- horns and Shorthorn history, as he wielded a facile pen in many eloquent and illuminating stories of cattle and men. His home, Belvoir Farm, is now occupied by Hon. Senator and Mrs. Little, the latter a granddaugh- ter of Richard Gibson. A son, Noel Gibson, lives close by, breeds Shrop- shires, and is one of Canada's good live stock judges. The Hon. John Dryden, one of On- tario's best and most intelligent farm- ers and live stock breeders, was an early importer of Shorthorns. He brought out his first cattle in 1872 and among them was the cow Mimul- us, by Champion of England, the mother in Scotland of Royal Duke of Gloster, one of the bullsthat made the Cruickshank breed, and in the hands of Mr. Dryden, she bred Bar -Imp - ton Hero, a bull that in the herd of 1 I Folks Past 40 Should Read This If you are troubled with a burning sensation, bladder weakness, 'frequent daily annoyance, getting -up -nights, dull pains in back, lower abdomen and down through groins—you should try the amazing value of Dr. Southworth's "Uratabs" at once and see what a Wonderful difference they reakel this grand old formula of a well known physician brings you the swift and satisfying comfort it has brought to dozens of others, you surely will be thankful and /very well pleased.

While some foods do produce excessive acidity and many stomachs do generate "too much acid" causing gas, sourness, bloating and after -eating pains, the trouble may be safely and quickly corrected by the use of a good alkaline. Bisurated Magnesia—powder or tab- lets—is ideal ,for this ,purpose. Just a little after meals neutralizes all the excess acid, prevents souring, breaks up gas and ends digestion, Favorite foods no longer upset stomach and di- gestion is easy and painless. It will do all this for you or money back. Druggists everywhere sell Bisurated Magnesia with this guarantee. traces 'back to Registered seed. When this is done, however, there is entitee ly no guarantee regarding the purity and quality in general of this stook, but it is often the case that this seed may be better than ordinary seed. By purchasing Regietered seed in Canada, one need have no fear as to its reliability, both as regards true- ness to yeriety and quality in gen- eral. It is never safe to invest money in seed upon which a crop is depend- ent, without ti certain guarantee that the variety is recognized as being a- dapted to the locality and that the seeds are viable and comparatively free from impurities. High quality seed of the Register- ed gradescan therefore -be purchased either from the growers or from re- liable seedsrnen in Canada, who usu- ally carry largestocks of this. seed representing the - standard varieties recognized by the Canadian Seed Growers' .Association. Duncan Campbell has been a Short- horn enthusiast for some years now, has won many honors, but his grand champion bull Thornham, Minstrel, is breeding prize winners and champions and this herd is a strong contender now and will be in the future. Col. F. H. Deacon has made history with his four „Mines grand champion bull at Toronto shows and the recent Inter- natioual, Edellyn Favorite. Col. Dea- con is strengthening his herd and will add to the fame of the breed. Stev- enson Farms is coining along with good cattle. Robinson Bros., George Fletcher, Bruce McKinnon ad other breeders have been doing construCtive work. Gordon Auld knows what it is to capture championships at the In- ternational and at Canadian ehows. Lately the woollen business has been taking more of his time than the breeding of Shorthorns but he has one of the sound herds bred along -good useful linos. His next neighbor, W. J. Kay, has also won champion--; ship honors end has a herd that gives good promise for the future. Amos & Black are, strong show yard con- tenders, • 4 have lett a hundred names out but this stoty had to end somewhere and I am nil' no humor just now to look up names or records. Canadians have played no small part in the build- ing up of this great breed of cattle on this side of the ocean. For two centuries Shorthorns have been an important factor in farming opera- tions in almost every agricultural country in the world. They have been the aid of the pioneer and the pride of the paogreesive farmer. 14 , CONSTIPATED CHILDREN Constipation is one of the most common ailments of childhood and the child suffering from ite, positive- ly cannot thrive. To keep the little one well the bowels must be kept regular and the stomach sweet. To do this nothing can equal Baby's Own Tablets. They are a mild but thor- ough laxative; are pleasant totake and can be given to the newborn babe with perfect safety. Thousands of mothers up no other medicine for their little ones 'but Baby's Own Tab- lets. They are sold by medicine deal- ers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. SOURCES OF GOOD SEED GRAIN Good seed is the first requirement of good crops, and because of this, no effort should be spared in procuring the best. Due largely to the efforts of the Canadian Seed Growers' Association, good reliable seed is perhaps more readily available at the present time, than has been the case at any time in the past. This Association, made up entirely of growers has had as its objective, for a period of twenty-five years, the building up of reliable seed Stacks of standard varieties, and the production of this seed in quantities sufficient to meet the popular de - man. Seed that comes up to the require- ments of Canadian Seed Growers' Association, and bearing a Govern- ment seal is known as Registered seed. Such seed is pure as to variety to the extent of 99.9 per cent., and furthermore is practically free from weed seeds and seeds of other kinds of grain. Registered seed is offered for sale by the growers themselves, and by re- liable seedsmen in Canada. The Can- adian Seed Growers' Association is- sues a catalogue each year, givingthe names and addresses of growers of registered seed, throughout Canada, and the approximate quantity fer sale. This catalogue can be obtained through the office of the Association in the Jackson Building, Ottawa., It is therefore possible to obtain the names of Registered seed growers in any 'particular district in the coun- try. This is a valuable service be- cause of the importance of using seed grown locally, and adapted to local conditions. The establishment of both large and small seed cleaning centres in some sections of the country, centralizes the cleaning and marketing of large quantities of Registered seed, and supplies' another medium through which high quality seed can be ob- tained. When the purchaser is not prepared to pay the comparatively small dif- ference in price between Registered seed and ordinary seed, it is same - times possible to locate seed that LOVELY MAN IV Busy hands—at hard tasks day in and day out.

We all 'admire the graceful, well - poised woman and the man of good carriage. There is in the appearance •of these individuals a look of effici- ency, energy and of physical and men• tal alertness which we admire. The drooping round shoulders and relax- ed abdomen of persons who careless of their posture do not give the im- pression of the existence of those qualities of life which we know make for success and happiness. We should not judge by outside appearances, be- cause it is quite true that appear- ances, on occasion are deceiving. This is not so often the case with the hu- man .body oecause, outwardly, it is the reflection of what we might call the true or inner man, Right posture, good carriage, pro- per poise are all desirable. Their ab- sence constitutes a serious loss to the individual. This is not merely a matter -of 'an •attractive personal ap- pearaice, but is considered rather on the physical basis that when for ex- ample, the person is flat -chested, the organs 'of the chest—the lungs and the "heart—are constricted, and the abdominal organs are forced down- wards and 'out of place. When the internal organs of the body are forc- ed out of their natural position, they cannot do their work properly, and so we see that poor posture may be indirectly the eause of some internal organs being displaced. In good posture, the individual stands to his full height, head up, chin in, chest high, the lower abdomen flat and' the spine straight. In sit- ting the forward bend should, be from the hips, the head and body should be in a straight line, with the feet rest- ing evenly on the floor. In lying, the body is stretched out, not bent, con- stant lying on one side is avoided, a low pillow, or no pillow at all, is us- ed. To secure and maintain good pos- ture, the body must be given atten- tion. The muscles of the back and the abdominal muscles are not suf- ficiently used by such people as of- fice workers, with the result that they give way and the lower abdomen be- comes prominent. Exercise, in any form of games or otherwise, which brings into play the muscles which are little used in our work life, is needed. Specially devised exercises to deal with particular posture defects generally give good results. Good posture is a product of good health which comes from proper care of the body.

GOVERNOR-GENERAL'S AIDE BUYS FAMOUS FARM Nova Scotia is greatly uplifted and complimented by the decision of Cap- tain Ralph Raynor, aide-de-camp to Lord Willingdon. to buy a farm there and spend a good deal of money on it. The farm itself, known as La Prairie and located in the famous Musquodobolt valley, is an historic one. It comprises several hundrecl acres, and the intention is to make it not only such a country 'place as a gentleman of wealth and good taste could afford but also a model in the ense that it will be an abject lesson to other farmers. The farm will ,be made to pay, for a model farm that does not pay is surely an infirm model and there are so many way of invest- ing money unprofitably that a farm is rot needed for that purpose. It is expected that each year there will come from the British Isles two or three selected young Englishmen of meens who will learn farrnin'g at La Prairie. When they have acquired sufficient knowledge it is expected that they will establish similar, though perhaps smaller, farms in dif- ferent parts of the province to the ultimate greater advantage of Ndva Scotia. We agree with the Halifax Herald that the idea is a happy n e. We call attention to the fact that , the Prince of Wales has done something of the same sort for the Province of Alberta, and that his "Edward P" ranch is already one of the mot famous in the world, of undoubted direct and indirect benefit to Canada. Although we are informed that Lord Willingdon is not financially interest - eel in the purchase it may not be an impertinence to suggest that in the future every governpr-general of this country might plant a stake in Can- ada to the extent at least of buying a farm here, to be run on business principles and at the same time with an idea of promoting the knowledge among English people of means that farming in Canada can be not only made to pay a dividend, but will pro- vide a charming way of living. Most of our gorvernors-general are men whose means would permit such a venture, and in time to came there might be scores of model farms scat- tered through the various provinces, a living advertisement fot old country farmers with capital and at the same time an object lesson in the most ,ap- proved Incident methods Of breeding and cultivation to their 4neighbors.

Not without pride does the Halifax Herald call attention to the fact that in this district there • was raised and brought to perfection Betsy Wylie.. Betsy is one of the most distinguished members of the Wylie family and es- tablished the world's record for the production of butter fat among Ayr- shire cows, yielding no fewer than. 1103 pounds in one year. The Mus- quodobolt Valley was only discovered in 1784 though it gave evidence of having been there far a long time previously. The name itself, when applied to a river, signifies "rolling out in foam, suddenly widening. cut after a narrow entrance at the mouth." 'But it is insisted that the Micmacs who invented the word in- terpreted it as meaning the chosen, river when applied to the Nova Scotia Musquodoboit in particular. The van - ley is hidden by hills upon which forests grow and the river itself is one subject to spring freshets. This feature indeed is respoasible for the unusual, fertility of the soil for the silt carried'down by the spring tor- ents is spread over the valley land and acts as ,a rich fertilizer for the crops. • Into this hidden 'valley a group of piiglish settlers stumbled toward the end of the eighteenth century. En- chanted with its beauty and the rich- ness of the soil, the pioneers determ- ined to remain there, and so they removed their belonging from Truro, then the nearest town, and began to clear the forest and cultivate the hand. There were, of course, no roads, and everything taken in or out had to be carried on the men's backs. At cer- tain times of the year the rives was navigable but only for canoes, so the settlers in the valley had to be self- supporting. Many years were to pass before roads were built, and lat- er railroads, which connected them with the outside world. In the mean- time they concentrated on improving their farms with the result that they are now famous through Nova Scotia and, after the appearance of this art- icle rough the rest of Canada, we trust. The farmers of the Musquodoboit valley were always a particularly God fearing company, we gather from the Halifax Herald which, of course, may be not wholly an unbiased witness. In any event one of their early clergymen, Rev. John Laidlaw, a most pious and scholarly man, was once haled before an ecclesiastical court where it was established that he had. carried home a gift of tea on the Lord's day; that on another Lord's day he had entered into secular, not to say sacrilegious, conversation with the blacksmith, bidding him "send up the harrow teeth td-rreerrow" and fin- ally had given two firkins of butter to a carrier who passed his home late on Sunday night. He was convicted of the charge of "incautiousness to- ward the Sabbath" and although ex- onerated of any worse fault found his usefulness so impaired that he left the place and went to Pittsburg. An illustrious owner of the farm that now passes into the possession of Captain Raynor was Col. Gladwin, whose an- cestors' names are to be found in the Domesday Book, and who sought to establish himself as a country gen- tleman, renting part of his farms to less prosperous neighbors. But since they could get farms •of their own by clearing them they objected to paying rent and the grandiose project collapsed. This so upset Col. Glad- win that when he died it was found that he had left instruction that he should be laid in an unmarked grave, which was done, with the confusing result that guides of the district are now able to point out no fewer thaa three sepulchres where his bones re- pose.
