FRIDAY, MAY 25, 1894.
God Save the Queen.
God save our gracious Queen,
Gong live our noble Queen,
od save the Queen. -
Send her victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us,
God Save the Queen.
O Lord our God arise,
Scatter her enemies,
And make them fall.
Confound their politics,
Frustrate their knavish tricks,
On thee our hopes are fixed,
O save them all.
Thy choicest gifts in store
On her be pleased to pour,
Long may she reign.
May she defend our laws,
And ever give us cause
To sing with heart and voice
God save our Queen.
ei Worth Remembering.
The recent bill introduced into the
legislature by Mr Garrow, and passed,
will effect a saving in law costs, to the
people of Huron alone, of over $2,000
annually. And when it is borne in
mind that it will reduce the receipts. of
• Mr Garrow's own law office of about
$300 annually, it does not show that
lawyers are desiring of legislaeting for
themselves. Electors should' not lose
sight of this fact. Here •its bile ° item
alone that represents a very: impor-
tant saving, and the amount saved
may be even larger than stated, though
it certainly will not be any tinaIler.

Reasons Why
The electors of Ontario should sup-
port Sir • Oliver Mowat, first, last and
all the time. Because he has given tR
the province the best system of com-
mon schools in the world, and an hon-
est,' economical Government, free from
jobs, boodle and scandal. Because he
has spent millions in promoting art
and agriculture, in founding public in-
stitutions, in promoting public chari-
ties and in aiding railways, and has
never called upon the ratepayers for a
single dollar, out has returned many
millions of dollars to the municipali-
ties to save the people from direct
taxation. Because he has ruled upon
the true principle of equal rights to
all. They sheuld support him because
he saved tts Ontario one hundred
thousand square miles of valuable
agricultural, mineral and timber lands,
and lastly because it would he a public
disgrace and crime to reward honesty,
ability, faithfulness an$eaki nent suc-
cess with ingratitude and dd rat. Thee
are sufficient reasons for every hone:, ,
mein in the province to give Sir Oliver
Mowat a warm, a hearty and au en-
thusiastic support.
Hon. J. Dryden.
The Hon, J. Dryden, Minister of
Agriculture, will „address a public
meeting in the interest of Mr J. T. Gar -
row at Dungannon, on the afternoon
of the 31st inst. He will also address
a meeting at Blyth, on the evening of
Friday, June 1st.
The Promise is Good.
Mr Mowat's promise to the temper-
arlce people is being distorted by his
opponents, and made to appear that if
he should retire from the leadership of
the Liberal party, his successor may
wiggle out of it and say no promise
was ever Made to the temperance
people. Mr Mowat's promise binds his
• government, and as he is not going to
retire from public life just yet, the
promise to the temperance people will
be carried out on the conditions laid
down.
Said Farmer John to Farmer Jim,
I want to tell you why I'm going to
vote for Mowat now, and drop the
"party" cry; •I think he is an honest
man and rules this country well, no
matter what opponents say, or stories
that they tell. There are no 'boodle
charges or corruption 'lstftements
Made, and every copper he laid out is
honest money paid. So, I'm going to
Vote for Mowat, alnd I'M not ashamed

What do the Far><nera Think?
The census of 1881 classes 07 per cent,
of the people of Ontario as rural, while
the report of the Bureau of Industrie
shows that the total amount of capita
invested in Agriculture in this Pro
vince reachestheeuormoue sum of on
thousand million dollars in roue
numbers. Considering the wagnitud
of the interests involved, it must b
admitted that 'Agriculture demands
all the consideration any government
having the interests of the people at
heart can give. A recognition of thi
it was that actuated the Mowat • Ad
ministration when in 1888 Agriculture
was elevated to the position of an in-
dependent department of the Govern-
ment, and a practical farmer placed at
its heal to be directly responsible for
its efficiency and to devote his atten-
tion to the advancement of the in-
dustry. Until then one pf the other
members of the Government, either a
lawyer or a banker, had beau placed in
charge of the work, but no farmer had
ever held a position in the cabinet.
The Opposition, strange as it may ap-
pear, did not concur in this step and
introduced the following resolution:—
"Moved by Mr Meredith, seconded
by Mr Creighton, that, while this
House concurs in the proposition to
give greater attention by the Execu-
tiveGovernment to the agriculural in-
terests of the province than has hither-
to been done, it is of opinion that that
end can be attained without incurring
the expense of adding another member
to the Executive Council and the in-
evitable additional expense which shall
be consequent on such addition."
Since that time the" Opposition has
attacked the administration of the
Department with a persistency worthy
of a better cause and has never ceased
its agitation to dismantle .it and place
it on its old footing. How in the face
of such a motion Mr Meredith and his
party will be able to square themselves
with the Patrons of Industry it will be
interesting to observe.
The stand taken in this regard was
well. expressed by Mr McPherson, a
.Toronto lawyer, and President of the
Young Men's Conservative Association
of that city when, in a formal address
delivered to that Association last No-
vember, he , said:—"Then we have a
Minister of Agriculture who has prac-
tically nothing to do. and accordingly
does little, a department which could
easily have been managed by one of
the othe- Ministers, and should have
nevelt• been created."
It was likewise stated by Mr Clancy,
in his speech on the Ontario Budiret
during the recent session, that the De-
partment might __&�cceptably be placed
under the supervi ion of the Minister
of Education. The excuse is that such
a move would be in the interests of
economy, but why this Department of
all others should be selected it is dif-
ficult to understand, especially when
it is remembered that it gives a direct
return to the farmers for the money
spent in connection with it. Such a
policy is certainly a very short sighted
one and those professing to believe in
it cannot either appreciate the import-
ance of the work undertaken or sym-
pathize with it.
But results are the best vindication
of Mr Eryden and his Department,
and he is perfectly willing, as he has
stated, to abide by the decision of the
farmers themselves as to whether the
course of the Government in regard to
Agriculture is justifiable or not. There
is not a reading and thinking farmer
in this Province who has not been
directly or indirectly benefited by the
Department's work during the present
Minister's short term of office. No
member of -the Government is more
assiduous in his attention to duty
than he, and certainly no department
is better managed than his or gives to
the Province better value tor the
money expended.
What do the farmers think about
the Opposition's preposition to degrade
in the government of the country the
greatest interest in Ontario?

To show that we have made onl`

in Ontario is $8; whereas Leeds, Gren-
ville and.Oxford average $32 per head.
10. In grain growing we are com-
peting in foreign markets with the pto-,
ducts of the cheapest labor in other
countries; in beef and mutton also we
compete with the products of cheap
land; in dairying we are competing
with the work of more skilled labor,.
and with the products of high priced
land. The outlook for dairying, there-
fore, in Ontario is promising, provided
we aim to produce a constant supply
of uniformly good articles, namely fine
factory cheese and fine creamery but-
ter. .
Worth Its Weight in Gold.
The special dairy bulletin just' issued
under authority of the Minister of Ag-
riculture, Hon. John Dryden, from the
Department of Agriculture, . Toronto,
application to which will bring to any-
one who will write name and address
a copy, is worth its weight in gold.
After an elaborate treatment of the
whole of the questions that are raised
by old-fashioned farmers when butter
and cheese snaking is advocated as an
advantageous adjunct to the present
system of grain growing, if it is not a
satisfactory substitute for that ex-
haustive and at present most unprofit-
able kind of farming to follow in On-
tario, this timely bulletin ends with a
series of ten conclusions that clinch the
argument for the cow. They are :
1. Prices for grain have fallen over
30 per cert. in ten years; prices for but-
ter and cheese have fallen less than 6
per cent.
2. Dairy farming is less exhaustive
than grain farming. The sale of butter
removes nothing from the soil. In fact
by dairying the lost fertility of the
soil may be restored.
3. Ontario is well adapted to dairy-
ing. We produce now 90,000,000 lb. of
factory cheese, 3,000,000 of creamery
butter, and about 60,000,000 of dairy
butter, While Canadian dairy exports
have been increasing those of the
United States have been decreasing.
4. Our principal butter competitors
in the British market are Denmark
France and Sweden. Victoria and
New Zealand are rapidly increasing
their exports to Britain, exceeding
those from Canada.
5. Whereas our best creamerybrings
as high price as Danish creamery in
Britain, our exports to Britain, aver-
age, over 5 cents per ib. less than the •
Dar ish exports. Our experts to Bri-
tair, therefore, consist largely of but-

Mr J. T. Garrow is recognized as one
;of the ablest and most h onorable law-
yers in the Dominion—a farmer's son
raised to prominence by his own indus-
try and ability—a man that any con-
stituency should be proud to have as
its representativet and the elebtors of
West Huron do themselves credit in
giving him their confidence and sup-
port.
Let Liberals Beware.
The Patrons of Industry, while pro-
fessing independence, have nominated
candidates in opposition to, and are
doing all they can to defeat Sir Oliver
Mowat, Hon. G. W. Ross, Hon. Rich.
Harcourt, Sir Rich. Cartwright, Hon.
David Mills, Mr John Charlton, Mr
John McMillan, Mr W. C. Edwards,
and Mr Robert Boston and other well-
known Liberals, though the Patron
movement is directed almost entirely
against evils which have originated in
Conservative legislation and adminis-
tration at Ottawa.
Womens' Missionary Society.
The fourth annual convention of the
Goderich District Woman's Missiona:
Society of the Methodist church was
held in Rattenbury street church, Clin-
ton, on Thursday, May 17th. 7.ne
meeting was conducted by the Pres:-
dent, Mrs Leech, of Goderich. After
devotional exercises, reports from tee
different auxiliaries were taken, when
Goderich, North street; Clinton, Rat-
tenbury and Ontario streets, Seaforth,
Dungannon, Holmesville, Brucefield
and Hensall responded, with most en-
couraging reports of faithfulness and
perseverance in the work, generally
followed by success in the increase of
numbers, interest and finances. One
branch of • work that had proved a
great help, was conducting the general
prayer meeting once a month or quar-
ter, as a missionary prayer meeting
at the close of which a collection would
be taken. Goderich, North street, and
Clinton, Rattenbury. street, Mission
Bands gave favorable reports of their
numbers and work.
The following program was then
given :—Duet, Miss rtippey and Mrs
Coats; paper, "Our Responsibility,"
Mrs Smith, Seaforth: The watchword
of the church is obedience, and our
work is to bring the world to the obedi-
ence. of Christ. This is the most re-
sponsible of all ages. Success depends
on individual effort. Our Society and
its work, rightly viewed, is not a bur-
den, but a help to bear other burdens;
our every effor t, by its reflex influence
brings us blessing and strength. So'o
Mrs Hooves; after which Mrs McMee.
ean, of London, organizer for the
Western Branch of the Provincial W.
M. S., gave an address, which fully
verified the ladies' expectations of plea-
sure, interest and profit.
Mrs McMechan spoke chiefly on three
important points of auxiliary work,
the spiritual, the social, and the work -
for -everybody line. She stated that in
all moral reforms women have taken
the initiation; but this is the age of
woman's organizations. The clock of
time has struck the woman's hour. To
become more spiritual, we must learn
by experience the power of prayer,
which is the hack bone of the auxiliary.
Answered prayer brings an increase of
faith. God can, and does, make even
peculiar circunistances answer true
prayet. Pray for money, which some-
times gets in the wrong pockets, we
should—pray it into its proper place,
the Lord's treasury. Sentence prayers
help the Society, and those who take
part in them. When you have given
your interest you have not done all,
you can double your prayers. The W.
M.S. gives culture and education tolits
members; a larger heart, a ,more intel-
ligent brain. Our work is not sacrifice,
but privilege. Her description of the
degredation, suffering and sorrow of
the heathen women could not fail to
arouse sympathy in the most uncon-
cerned. She said gir-1 life in heathen
countries is the cheapest thing in the
dustbin of humanity. Study the Bible
and the history of missionary workers.
She considered a limited library f
missionary books and magazines a ne-
cessity in every auxiliary, three of the
best being Missionary Review of the
World, Gospel in all Lands, and Flea -
then Woman's Friend. Distribute
leaflets to outsiders. For mission
bands she suggested sides chosen, to
preparerograms for alternate meet-
ings, and essay contests. On the social
side, she urged that every stranger
coming to the meting be warmly wel-
comed, and every member feel that
they were needed to make the meeting
a success. In answer to the question,
"Is It not better to change officers ?"
sheeaid, "Yes; but do not change all
at once, some one year, some the next,
but if you have areally good president,
keep her."
After a short missionary consecra-
tion meeting, led by Mrs Elford, of
Holmeeyille, the f eating closed with
the Benediction, The next meeting
will be held atth same time and plat.

ance work, though a decreased mem-
berebip was reported. The last guart-

NOTES.—Miss B. Collie, of Messrs
Duncan & Duncan's dry good store,
happened to lose her purse containing
a sum of money while on her way to
work on Friday morning last, but dur-
ing the day it•was handed to her by a
young man who hada found it; fortun-
etely for her it had fallen into honest
hands. While the work of lowering
the choir gallery in the Methodist
church is being carried on, Sunday ser-
vices are held in the lecture room of
the church; the choir is preparing
special music for the re -opening when
this improvement is accomplished.

perance work under the auspices of the
Good Templars, has been in town for a
few days, making an effort to•resusi-
tate the ledge of that order here,which
has ceased working for some time, and
apparently to some extent he is suc-
ceeding. Mr Gribble spoke in Clardno's
Hall on Sunday afternoon last, and on
Monday evening he gave an interesting
address en "Incidents in twenty-flve
years' temperance work." He seems to
have had a good 'deal of experience in
this good work, and tells of a good
many thrilling incidents, which are
calculated to impress upon the minds
of his hearers the importance df being
active in the noble cause of temperance.

The revising officer will take the Provincial,
lists and appoint a day when be will go to
each diyision and hear applications for
either placing names on the list or striking
them off, and the list will only be printed
after the final 'revision has taken place.
This ought to remove a good deal of the
objection to the Franchise Act on the
grounds of its being cumbersome and ex-
pensive." Why not use the Provincial lists
and be done with it, 'as was the practise
before Sir John Macdonald brought in hie
Revising Baristar system?
Mrs Meyer, wife of Dr Henry C. Meyer,
who was• convicted in Newyork of murder
in the second degree -for poisoning Ludwig
Brandt to cbtain insurance money, will be
put on trial for murder early in June
The 'testimoney of Keifel, who turned
State's evidence, will be largely relied on.
The Provincial Ministers will open the
campaign at London on Monday, May 28,
at a meeting in the Grand Opera House
there, to be addressed by Sir Oliver Mow-
at; Hon. A. S. Hardy, Commissioner of
Crown Lands; Hon. Richard Harcourt,
Provincial Treasurer, and Mr Thomas S.
Hobbs, Liberal candidate for London.
This will be Sir Oliver Mowat's first visit
to London for some years, and he is per-
tain to receive a very enthusiastic welcome,
and the meeting is certain to be one of Ilse
greatest political events that Ontario has
known for soixie years. •
