Good Cieor for Xmas. * a * -At a meeting of about forty manufacturers and dealers, called at the suggestion of the Fire Com- missioner of New York, to consider the possibility of finding a match that would be safe to use, it was stated that the safety match is in reality no safer than the parlor match. • * * --The inhabitants of the United States, including Porto Rico, Ha- waii and the Phillipine Islands, number about 88 millions -that is, barely 5 per cent. of the world's total inhabitants, according to its highest estimate. This 5 per cent has at present taken possession of 25 per cent. of all the cultivated a reaof the earth, viz., 407.4 mil- lion acres out of 1629.3 million acres. * * * -In view of the fact that an- other immense subsidy may be asked for a new line to the Pacific coast, the Bobcaygeon Independent says :-The Canadians are the only people in the world who make free gifts of money, under the name of subsidies, to private railway specu- lators and private railway com- panies. In making such free gifts there are no conditions whatever attached. The gifts are in every sense of the word free. The rail- ways grab the subsidies and give absolutely nothing in return for the gift. * * -The Petrolea oil territory was first opened up forty years ago ; it to -day boasts no less than 10,000 wells, and together with the smaller Ontario fields it produces about $750,000 worth of crude petroleum per annum. The more oil fields discovered in Canada the better. What this country, and especially this province, needs as much as anything is a fuel supply of its own. If crude•petroleum and peat can be discovered in. sufficient quantities and .economically utiliz- ed to the best purpose, the handi- cap Ontario suffers in the lack of coal fields may be thereby largely offset.

Mayor. , Clerk. Ontario is now, from an agricul- tural standpoint, a billion dollar Province. The value of all the farm proper- ty in Ontario, after having ranged in the nine hundred thousands for years, has at last passed the billion mark, the total for the year ending 1901. being placed by the Bureau of Industries at $1,001,323,296. This is made up of $585,354,294 in Iand, $226,575,228 in buildings, $59,- 897,513 in implements, and $129,- 496,261 in live stock. Middlesex still ranks as the pre- mier county. The farm land in Middlesex is valued at Over $30,- 000,000, Huron coming next with a valuation of twenty-eight and one-half millions. In buildings, Middlesex is also ahead, with a total of $10,902,000, Huron again coming second with $10,643,000. In implements, Grey takes first position, with a total valuation of $2,709,000, Huron coming next with $2,690,000, Simcoe third with $2,672,000, and Middlesex ranking fourth with a valuation of $2,- 636,000. In live stock, Middlesex is first, at $6,764,000, Huron once more ta- king second place with $6,116,000. Lumping all four classes of farm property together gives Middlesex a valuation of $50,367,000, and Huron a total of $48,640,000. VALUES PER ACRE When it conies to value per acre, however, quite a lot of counties rank ahead of both Middlesex and Huron, The valuation per acre ill the counties whioh rank among the first is as follows Lincoln $50.54 Wentworth 48.00 York 46.30 Oxford 43.06 Halton 42.26 Kent 41.51 Brant 40,61 Middlesex and Huron are rated at $39,67 and 835.80 respectively. One of the mails causes of the in- crease in the value of Ontario farm property is found in the bacon hog, Although the number sold or slaughtered in 1901 -1,073,405 - was 83,000 less than for the spar before, the value of the flogs thus disposed of was 317,548,490, or nearly $2,000,000 more than for the year before.
