SHIPLOADS OF FARM$RS COMING.
Canada bide fair to become the fash-
ion. The movement of Yankee far-
mers across the border into the wheat
lands of the west has apparently caused
e good deal of excitement in England,
and for the first bine in half a century
something like a general emigration
moyement has well begun. We begin
to hear of shiploads of Englishmen
leaving for Canada, and of theirinten-
tion to found colonies at certain points
in the west. There is no finer material
in the world for such an enterprise than
is to he found in Lancashire, Yorkshire
and the .midland counties of England,
where the fever by this has become
epidemic. What promises hest is that
the idea of emigration has at last taken
hold of the minds of the sort of people
who are most likely, when they get
hen, to he content with little at first
and .to prosper exceedingly in the end.
Mr. Alf. Jury, the Canadian agent et
Liverpool, who knows both his Canada
and his England thoroughly, and who
besides understands better than most
n.en the considerations which weigh
with the toilers,, has repeatedly urged
that it is not the British gentleman far-
mer who is wanted in Canada, but the
British fang laborer. It is the fartn
laborer who Is now becoming interested
in Canada,
The British farmer, it is argued, is a
person apt to rate his own consequence
pretty high. He knows every inch of
his holding and its utmost capacity.
He is, in most casae, en overseer of
labor rather than a toiler. lie is on
satisfactory terms with the squire, the
parson, and perhaps even the head of
the aristocracy for the district. He
lives well, and manages to put by a
little money. Put such a map down in
the Canadian West, away from the
genial companionship to which he has
been accustomed, solitary in a wilder-
ness, condemned to live on owes food,
and it requires but little knowledge of
human nature 40 predict that before
long he will sell out, return to England,
and probably give the new country a
bad name. It is not worth while to
run after such,
On the other hand the British farm
laborer is the ideal settler, because, if
he comes to Canada with no other capi-
tal than his brawn and brain, as he is
very apt to, and takes service with a
Canadian farmer, his flret meal in a
Canadian farm house is quite likely to
be the best he ever bad in his life. By
the time he has become accustomed to
local conditions, and ready to take up a
section of free grant lend, he has already
advanced considerably as regards stan-
dards of living, He has begun to per-
ceive, what he never could it he re-
mained at home, the probability not
only of eecuring a valuable homestead,
but of wealth laid aside for hie later
years, There are a good many men of
this class in the Canadian West now,
and the gums they have realized in the
past few year+, and the tales they have
told to their friends at home probably
form the basis of the present move-
ment.
It is interesting to note that already
there ie a protest against the move-
ment, interesting because the protest
conduces to the belief that the move-
ment has become formidable. Agricul-
tural laborers, badly paid though they
he, are not numerous enough for the
home demand, and those who employ
them neither want to pay s few shil-
lings more a week nor let the men go
where they can become rich on their
own account, For this reason many
obstacles have been put in the way of
the Canadian agents by the local meg,
nates. Now that these tactics have
begun to prone futile, it is proposed to.
move the surplus population of the
cities back to the land. That spite Can-
ada very well. Agricultural laborers
are more to our liking than the over -
Bow of London's slums.
THE PABMER IS A BUSINESS MAN.
Front the Toronto ktu,
The Agricultural interest in Ontario
is the largest we have, and the address
delivered in Toronto teat Friday by Mr.
GC. Creelman to the asternbled news-
paper men of the province must lead to
good results in showing the pressmen
how they can assist in promoting those
new movements in agriculture wbicb
have produoed marked propperlty ,in
some counties.
Each little town le the capital of .a
small agricultural kingdom, and the
prosperity of the county upbullds the
town, aid that of the town upbcilde
the county. Mr. Creelman showed that
while a boot and shoe factory wee a
good thing for a town, yet it brought
in its raw material and shipped away
its product, while a canning factory or
any similar industry drew its raw ma-
terial from the surrounding country,
employed local labor that might other-
wise be unemployed, and yielded pro-
ducts that were partly consumed by
the local inhabitants and partly shipped
to outside pointe. There is not enough
interest shown in some towns in de-
veloping those local industries, such as
cheese factories, canning factories, and
creameries, while excessive efforts are
applied to bonusing manufactures that
have no local hold, end which cannot
be attached to the place by any natural
law—such as a supply of raw material
at the door,
The new, movement In farming causes
the keeping of accounts, so that if a
man has au orchard he must so manage
as to make it pay, ):f he keeps fowl, he
must manage that branch of his busi-
ness so that he will get a profit out of
it. So with his dairy, hie hogs, and all
his other interests. He is a member of
the farmers' institute, and secures aim-
ple and sure advice—not high-sounding
theories, but the plain results of experi-
ence from men who are making money
themselves. The new movement in
farming in making itself felt all over
the provigce, although the results are
greater in some districts than in ethers.
The day is gone by when the average
artner sows and reaps, has a few cows
y,nd horses, sheep, pigs, and bens—
baving these things because it seems
natural that they should be found on e,
tarn, lust au it seems natural to hays
a dog and a cat, and a weather -cock on
the barn. There Is method above the
average farmer's business of late, AS
there always was in the operations
of the successful farmer. Instead of
being at the mercy of the climate, the
farmer sees today that he le very large-
ly reseonsible for hie own success or
failure. He does not put his eggs all in
one b,isket, and he trusts less to ohance
and relies more and more on good mart.

ANNUAL MRzTLNo,--The annual meat.
ing of the Londesboro Butter and
Creamery Manufacturing Co. was held
in Hill's hall on January 18th. Min-
utes of last meeting were read over and
on motion of Messrs. J, Cartright and
J. Brigham were adopted. The report
of the season's work was presented very
clearly by the secretary and in sub-
stance is as follows:—Quantity of but-
ter made during he season, 82,878
pounds which sold for 815,223.95, the
average price being. 18'48 cente; paid
to patrons, 819,842,79, average price, 15
cents, The company's expenses ler the
year wits, including 8100 borrowed on
account of last year, 8404,82; receipts for
making and for butter milk, etc„
8408.06; showing the small deficiency
on the year's traueactione of 81.28, and
were it not for the great distance of
cream hauling and paying some of last
season's expenses there would have
been a fine dividend instead of the little
shortage, but take it altogether there
has been a very successful ,e:,aon and
the bighorn marker price was obtained
for nearly every sale. The directors
are looking forward to bees just as
good a 800.400 this year. The appoint-
ment of secretary and salesman has not
as yet been made, that matter is left
with the director's. Our former efficient
secretary and treaanrer, Mr, ' W. L.
Ouimette, who, being on the eve of
his departure for the far west, was ten-
dered a very unanimous vote of thanks
—not exactly for the excellent way in
which he performed his duties as secre-
tary and treasurer for so many leers,
but also for his courteous manner in
all his relations with the directors and
patrons,

FATAL. AccimmT.—Early on Thurs-
day morning, January 29th, a sad And
fatal accident happened at Harrisburg,
whereby Mr, Thomas Johnston, a well
known and highly respected young
man of this village lost Itis life. Mr.
Johnston had accepted a situation as
fireman with the Grand Trunk Railway
Co., and lett for his destination on
Thursday ; just a week previous to' the
accident. And little did his friends
and comrades think they had taken of
him a last farewell, On Thursday
morning of last week his train left
Stratford at five o'clock, going east,
arriving at Harrieburgat seven o'clock,
when he was instructed by the engineer
to go under the en_ine and rake out
the cinders from the ash -pen; and
before he had completed his task,
another engine, which was shunting on
the aiding, collided with their train,
and the unfortunate young matt was
run over or rattler pushed along before
the massive wheels of the engine. He
was bruised and mangled in a terrible
manner and was taken on to the hospi-
tal at Bamilton, But his injuries were
so severe that he died an hour after
entering the hospital. Newer of the
accident was telegraphed to Welton by
the company inquiring for relatives of
deceased. When the sad tidings were
sent to hie parents, who for the past
three years have resided at Vandeeeilt,
Michigan, sod on Friday evening his
fatheroame to ,Ile.mIlton,to take charge

of the body, Mr. Johnston, who had
not yet reached hie twenty-flrat year,
was possessed with more than average
mechanical ingenuity. He was well
and widely known in thi, vicinity,
where all admired the straight forward
manly boy, for his noble and moral
lrinciples, and will deeply mourn and
ament the accident which brought a
useful life to a sad and untimely end.
The remains were taken to Vanderbilt
for interment. A loving memory will
long live in the hearty and minds of his
many friends here, whose sympathies
go out in all eincerity to the *filleted
parents and family in their sad and
sudden benavement,
