Then go with him or his son, look at his barns, look at his stables, look at his stock; listen as he tells you how he prepares the fodder for his stock; as to how he prepares his fields for his crops; then ask him or can you ask, does farming pay? .lir Middleton last week, sold to Air E.

JACKSON BROS,, Clothiers, Furnishers & Farr riers The Health of' the Town :-'ni Dr. Shaw, Medical. Health Officer, has issued an a :cellent letter of advice to tbe townspeople, concerning health; matters, wherein, the. following oc cuss: - Public end high schools, shops and fac' o:.ies r .0 often the meaus of spreading infectious dis- ease-, they being imp'ope ly vevtilrLed and insufficient air space allowed for each individ- ual. special care must be taken by te-.crter , and pupils, employees, etc., in connection with pit- v ies,e osets, urinals,dust,ventile tion, seeds, out- hotoses and yards. 1n uo disease, Ito haps, doe so m.'ch depend upon the iudividcat ,s cud habits as in eh:,lera., and notably cub ,toat,ca.e as to the food and d.i,•I-ssty: c-o'o a, 'a b0ineasu,etoremove the danLerofinfeet on.

He also gives some advice concerning disinfectants, and to the letter, which is dist) ibuted to all householders, the Inspector, Mr Wheatley, has attached this note. I hereby.insist on the above notice and advio being call red out according to law on or befor Ap•.11 30th, 1399. And unless you comply with this notice I shall hire labor to petfoi•m these d titles and collect the costs from delinquents. As a great many cldsets in town will require to be cleaned out, it would be well if the town itself could make some arrangements for having the work done. Hitherto it has been errs ceedingly difficult for individual house- holders to get it accomplished, and cora. plaint is made that the charges have been unreasonable. Why not hire a couple of teams and get men to do the work under authority of the Inspector, who could fix a price for the same, he to be paid extra for these services. Then people could leave word wit him under the assurance that it wool be pproperly, done; if. this particular wark is not done differently to what it . has been, the closets of town will nob be cleaned between this and Christmas. [Since this was in type arrangements somewhat similar to our suggestions" have been made. Parties wishing their closets cleaned may leave word with Mr Wheatley. -En. NEw ERA.) A BIG PRICE. -As the result of the last fair here, Mr Thos. Anderson, of Goderich township, the other day sold to Mr John McMann, of Seaforth, a, young gelding for the handsome sumo of $215.

CATTLE -Mr Sid Smith and J. Hearn, the well known cattle dealers, reports the outlook for spring cattle as rather discouraging. One of the most promi- nent as well as one of the most success. ful cattle raisers in this -section re- marked the other day, "Here it is• the 12th of April, and I haven't yet had stat offer on my cattle; that's pretty/teuggh.
