It waii decided to fry and establish an Official paper in con- nection with the organization. Vari- ous Matters in conrieCtion with the work of the soCiety were diaenssed. It was decided to divide the county into sections, for lecture and other purposes. Objection was taken to the several sec- tions being taxed for High School pur- poses, but no action taken.

At this particular point we conaider it opportune to remark that too few of our leading manufacturers exhibit the liberal and broad business views snob as are peculiar to the manufacturers of Diamond Dyes. People, generally, ap- preciate liberality when properly directed, and when the ad is spontaneousand hearty. This free distribution of $1,500 to the ladies of our country, who have been using a popular and useful household article, has never been thought of before. Thteremarks recently made by a. prominent lady, fairly well expresses the feelings of the ladies re- garding this "Diamond Dye Competition." She said: "It seems to me that the manu- facturers of Diamond Dyes are paying us large premiums because we have been lasing so inany of their beautiful dyes in our homes." While we are allowed to state that this is true as far as it goes, we are requested to say that one great object of the Competition is to gather a vast collection of the handiwork of the ladies from all quarters of the Dom- inion, so that the public may have an op- portunity of judging of the great possibilities and wonderful effects of Diamond Dyes. Let us now point the ladies to the dial of time, and warn them that the days are fly- ing. It behooves them to decide early -at once, it they intend becoming participants in thisdree contest. They should, without delay, fill up and send in their form of ent- ry, which will be found on page 15 of the book of instructions and rules. We may remind all ladies who have not seen this book on the Diamond Dye Competition, that they may obtain it from their drug • gist, or from the Wells & Richardson Co., Montreal, who will send it post free to any address. We presume that it is needless at this time to inform the ladies that this Com- petition is free,04 open to all. It does not cost anythiffg to exhibit your fancy work or other goods; and, whether you are successful or fail to take a prize for your work, remember it is still your property, and is returned to yon free of cost. In this way the gain is all 'on your side, and the entire cost and expens6s fall on the manufacturers. At the present time, we 'believe sufficient has been said to the ladies as to the ad- visability of making early application for a place in the grand contest. This is ne- cessary, as special preparations have to be made for suitable [exhibition space to pro- perly display the vast number of articles that will be sent in.

IMVOluffaTION Or VALUE To Tun L4=1813=1,1 Hundreds of ladies in happy and thrifty homes in Canada are wOrking cheerfully aid oonddently, preparing for that most inter- esting coated, known as the "Diamond Dye Competition" As time passes, the interest increases; and the "Entry Forms" resolution :- To THE MAYOR AND CORPORATION OF THE TOWN OF CLINTON, We, the Huron County Association •of Patrons of Industry, in session, be- ing composed of county officers and delegates from fifty subordinate asso- ciations, hereby desire to express our thanks WI you for your kindness in granting, in such a happy manner, the use of the Town Hall, free of charge, properly heated and lighted, for the use of our annual meeting, and also for your presence with us this • after- noon, which we take as a special favor, our object being to labor together for .the promotion of the interest of farm- ers and employes, and the good of the nation of which we are a part. We hope to have your continued sympathy and 'support. Signed in behalf of the County Association, JAmus E. GAUNT, CO. Pres. JAs. H. Getumun, Co. Sec. In reply thereto the Mayor said:- Inthe name of the people of the town of Clinton, it is a pleasure for -me to welcome you to Clinton. We were pleased when told by your secretary that he had select ed our town in pre- ference te others, wherein to hold this convention, evidently realizing the fact that Clinton, being central, and in many other ways the most suitable for holding such gatherings. Here we are all more or less interested in agricul- ture, being surrounded by a rich form- ing community. We haVe opportuni- ties of witnessing the great progress that has been made in the last few years, especially in stock raising, feed- ing and farm machinery. There cer- tainly has been marked and substan- tial improvement; things havechanged, for I remember when we drew our hay in, loaded on tree tops, through the stumps, and used crotched sticks for hay forks; pastured the cattle in the woods, and browsed them on the tops of the fallen trees. Now the work of the farm can nearly all be done by ma- chinery, and at much less cost. This is gratifying to us, as there is no de- nying the fact we are all depending on the success of the farm. This brings to mind the words of Spencer, when he asked, "If in husbandry we aught did know, to plow, to plant, to reap, to sow." It would not do, however, for us all to be farmers, the different pro- fessions and industries must loe repre- sented, otherwise we would hot have • or ,railways-- with -their_ iron__ bands, - connecting ocean with ocean. Neither would we have our great telegraph systems, defying distance by land or sea. How could we get along now without those electric batteries with their currents of electricity, bringing continents within speaking distance of each other. I have not time to men- tion the thousand and one great inven- tions and questions, such as our trade and commerce, shipping and ships, in- stitutions of learning, etc., that has blessed the world, so that „when boys leave the farm they should not be counted as lost to the farmer, inas- much as the farmer is depending large- ly upon the success of others, though I confess they are the most independent, and can live within themselves, and the farmer, as a rule, lives longer than others. The character of our occupa- tion tends to shorten life. Those Who are in the professions are undergoing a sapping of the brain and nerve force. Literary men are driven with whip and spur to their topmost speed, not one brain worker in a hundred observes any moderation. Printers rarely reach fifty years. Watchmakers, in marking time for others, shorten their own. Chemists breath dea-the in their labora- tories, and painters fall under their own brush. Foundrymen take death in with the filings. Shoemakers pound a,viipay their own lives on the last, and merchants measure off their own lives with the yard stick. Millers gind their lives with the grist, but I must stop, thanking you for the welcome you have accorded me. • HOUSE AND ,LOT FOR SALE A conveniently situated house and lot in good order.

Trade was fair and prigek were better than oniThursdity, but comnMi stook did not sell quite so well 06 011 last Monday. Mr Bickerdike bought all the good, large shipping cattle he could get at from 4ic to 410 per lb.; pretty good atock sold at about 4c do., with common, dry cows at from $18 to 530 each, or from 2ic to 30 per lb., while some of the leaner beasts sold down to about 20 per lb. There were only two mutton critters reached this market and prices are higher. Messrs Brown Bros, got a car- load of good lambs from Kiogston, which cost about 4ic per lb. There are many fat hogs on the market, but there seems to be little demand for them, and prices are from 4iis to Re per lb. Dressed hogs are from 5ic to 6c per lb. TORONTO LIVE STOCK MARKETS Receipts were a little heavier on Tuesday but the market was firm all round. There arrived at the Western Cattle Market 28 loads, inclnding 217 sheep and lambs, 530 hogs and 12 calves. Receipts for the week ending Saturday, January 9, were: -Cattle, 739, sheep and lambs, 959; hogs 575. Trade was active, and was done mainly in but- chers' cattle. Nine loads were taken through to Montreal for export. Prices ranged at from 53.25 to 53.50 up to $3.75 per cwt., the latter for choice animals. This is no change from last Friday's figures. Everything was well sold before the close, and there is a fair demand for choice but- chers'. Bulls ranged a little higher at 30 per lb. for good butchers' beasts. Lambs -had dropped off a f. The highest price paid was $5, the most of the sales being made at from $3.75 to 54.75. Sheep brought from $5 to 86 per head, the latter for extra choice muttons',.

A novel case of interest to farmers was tried at Flesherton recently before Judge Creaser According to the ruling any per- son purchasing agricultural machinery and paying for it witb anything but cash or notes is still responsibl to the firm should , the agent become a defaulter. The judge held that the agent must be paid the where- ith to settle with the employers. Thus the giving of horses, etc., in part payment for machinery is a risky transaction unless the agent is known to be reliable. MISSING LINKS.

Under unrestricted re- ciprocity barley would be worth as much in Toronto as in Buffalo. The price of bar- ley has not been increased in the United States by the McKinley tariff, the quan- tity imported not being sufficient to affect the market in any way in that country. The fact that barley is worth 33 cents per bushel more in Buffalo than in Toronto makes it clear that the Canadian producer has to pay the 30 cents duty upon the bar- ley be sends to the United States; and that the British market, of. which he hears so much, is of -no .use to him. If the British barley market were a substitute for that of the United States barley would be to -day worth as much in Toronto as in Buffalo. When a Canadian farmer sends barley to Europe he has to compete against the peasants of Russia, Austria, Roumania and Denmark -against "the pauper labor of Europe" -and also against the Egyp- tians, Arabs and Algerians, some of whom are able to raise two crops 4 year, while they live upon little or nothi g.
