Toronto man has predicted the-- the he:the coming summer will be the cold- est and wettest summer in years. Will he be right? Some one else has said that if it .doesn't winter right in winter, it won't summer right in summer. There might be quite a bit of truth in that. We had October weather in January and 'February; January weather in March, and now we are having Febru- ary, weather in April. Such weather should, prepare ,one for anything. The Toronto Globe, however, is much more encouraging. It said on Wednesday: "The sno.v man takes his final fling." 'But then again there are a whole lot of people :Who are quite willing to admit that The- Glebe does not Speak with the same authority with which it once spake.

F. ,McGregor, about two miles south of Egmondville, on the Kippen Road, was com,pletely destroy- ed. Mrs. McGregor was awakened about five o'clock by smoke and aroused the other members of„ the' family, but the 'fire had gained such headway then that it was only with great difficulty that they were able to escape irr their fright clothing.' Nothing was saved, the, entire con- tents being completely consumed, and nothing but the walls of the house left 'standing. Besides the ordinary contents,' Mr. McGregor,'who is clerk of Tuckersmith Township, and secre- tary -,treasurer of the McKillop Mut- ual Fire Insurance „Company, •,lost between two and 'three hundred dol- lars 1 the boo ks'and al Lars in cash;P P of the Insuance Company, and prac- tically all those of the township.

Forester 'says that en the Orillia market on Saturday last you could buy a pound of butter and a dozen eggs for twenty-five cents. This may have been a cheer- ful experience for the urban house- holder, 'but what about the farmer who parted with his product at 'half its value? Prosperity will not re- turn so long' as the primary producer faces a loss on everything he has to sell That is all very true. Much truer, in fact, than people appear to re alize, or if tam extent,ey aredo-realizeit to a cer- tain to admit. We have, at different times, assert- ed that the farmer is the most self contained man there is in Ontario to- day. • And that is true to a very large extent. If a farmer has,his property clear, with the average crop that is harvested, he can lire indefinitely and can support his family in -comfort on , what he grows, regardless of the price •.of farm products. But that is as far as he can go. He can neither make money to save nor can he make money with whic'a to •buy_ other people's products. And, while cheap products may appear to r be a boon to urban householders,'. must be remembered -that the capital of the urban householder is limited :and unless he can turn over the pro - .ducts he has to sell, it will not be long before his buying power is ex- hausted, no matter how cheap living may become. The assertion is often•made that •our pioneer farmers not only Iived .on, but made money and built sub . stantial homes out of ten cent butter and eggs; sixty cent ;wheat; three dollar hogs and three cent cattle, ani if the present day farmer can't do the' same, there must be something the matter with him. Well, as a matter of fact, there is something the matter, and very ser • iously the matter with our present day farmers. They are suffering from a disease. their forefathers knew lit- tle about. They•are suffering almost beyond a hope of recovery from the disease of taxation. (Fifty years ago the taxes on a hundred acre farm were around twenty-five -dollars. To -day the tax- es on the same farm are over the hundred `dollar 'mark, and it takes a _lot of ten cent eggs and butter and three or four cent pork and beef to make up a hundeed dollars. And if the farmer does succeed, he certain- ly has no money left to save, nor has be any money to spend. 'Fifty years ago, too, a farmer could borrow money at four per cent. and. he could get all the labor he - needed at less than a dollar a day, attd part of that was board. To -day be can not 'get money at any rate, and the 'standard • of wages is such that farm labor! is beyond the reach of all -but' the very few. '`''inoiley map be coined in the mint at 'Ottawa and high tariffs may make a few -,then rich, but real prosperity eati have its birth no where else than do the farm, and until our farmers 'can get a price for their farm' pro- -ddets, at least in sore nneasuee pro- •' 'p'di'tiehate . to the prine they have to -pity for the things they are. expected tb 1bWt ; (net ed lent will the •praesent entesie in lanae ( week.

The snow storm of Tuesday ots of night was a (very heavy one, giving work in yards, sidewalks, etc. The dance on Fair night, under the auspices of Scott Welsh and his Melody Boys, was quite well attend- ed and much enjoyed by. -those pres- ent- days have let up The past stormy for 'the present at least to house- cleaning to the eomfort of the stern- er sex.

The snow storm of Tuesday came very unexpectedly, covering the ground and roads that had become quite bare and was very unwelcome for our spring show, making it so unpleasant for getting around and for exhibiting.
