What Protection Has Done,
In a aeceitra ort, United States
Consul, Hon. A, 0, Seyfert of Owen
Sound, gives strong testimony as to
the wisdom of 'Canada adopting and
maintaining protection, Coming from
a source independent of Canadian poli.
tics, testimony is valuable. IIe points
out how, formerly, American firms,
manufactured at home and exported
their goods to Canada, Now, after
the fact that a protective tariff was
the settled policy of Canada„ a hun-
dred and fifty American firms had es-
tablished factories in the Dominion
representing a capital investment of
over $170,000,000, Ile shows that one
company alone, manufacturing har-
vesting implements at Hamilton, em-
ploys over three thousand hands. The
big plant was established not only to
supply Canada, but also to manufac-
ture farm machinery for export, as
Canadian goods enjoy a rebate in
South ,Africa and in some instances in
Australia, while Canadian farm ma-
chinery enters France at a lower "tariff
than similar goods from the United'
States. American boot and shoe firms
have had to establish factories in Can-
ada to hold trade, and American lim-
ber interests have forty million dol-
lars invested in Canadian saw mills,
owing to the export tax on saw logs,
The official who makes this report and
calls attention to these facts, be it re-
membered, is an American, and is in.
this country to give his fe?clow coun-
trymen hints as to how they can ex-
pand their trade.
Brussels.
Fannie Stubbs, a bright young las-
sie of town won the scholarship offer-
ed by Brussels School for the best ex-
amination at the recent Entrance Ex-
amination. She nearly took full
marks,
Eleven pupils of our school wrote on
the Normal Entrance exam. and all
passed, several of them with honors.
Brussels school bas a great record and
both pupils°and teachers are to be con-
gratulated.
The expert Judge is expected here

Rev, A. C. Wishart, B. A., Presby-
terian minister, is away for six weeks'
holidays. His pulpit will be supplied
for several Sabbaths by Rev. Mr, Mc-
Kay of Stratford,
T. Farrow has been postmaster of
Brussels for 20 years. The manage-
ment of the office would he difficult to
beat. A cement addition of good size
built to the rear of the postoffice will
be utilized for filing away official re-
ports and papers necessary to be pre-
served for 7 years according to the

struction of the new Municipal Tele-

HARRY REID KNOWS.
J. Walton McKibbon, the druggist,
does not guarantee Parisian Sage to
grow hair on every bald head, but if
there is any life left in the roots of
your hair, Parisian Sage will stimu.
late the hair bulbs and cause your
hair to grow again. Here is one case,
"I am now using the second bottle of
your Parisian Sage, and can notice a
new crop of hair appearing. I am
glad to say it is it darker color than
my hair was before I' became bald."
Barry Reid, 10 Manhattan St„ Roch-
ester, N. Y.
Don't wait till you're bald before
using Parisian Sage, use it now, Kill

invigorating hair dressing; it makes
the hair soft, fluffy and beautiful.
A Farmer Billed.
On August 2, Sam, Trwin,,living on
the 6th con. of Greenock, lost his life,
He was engaged cutting hay, when
his team started to run away, throw-
ing hien in front of the mower knife,.
He hung on to the horses, whieih be-
gan eireling. This caused the guards
of the knife to mangle his thigh in a
terrible manner, The horses were
stopped and the unfortunate man was
being conveyed home in a buggy,
when lie met with another accident.
The team, witch had been unhitched
from the mower, 'were left in charge
of his young son to bring home, In
some manner they got away from the
lad, and, running dowtt the road in
the wake of the buggy, one of theta
jumped into it, oruslhing the injured
marl against the dashboard, breaking
his shoulder and furthering injuring
him, Ile lived for some hours, to

Ontario And Progress, •
Mr. 0. 0. James, the Provincial De-
puty Minister of Agt•idniture, has
been presenting the Toronto Board of
Trade with some interesting inform -
tion relative to the importance, from
an agricultural point of view, of the
province of Ontario.
The settled area of Ontario includes
21,500,000 acres, of which 11,000,000
gores are cleared, 5,500,000 acres wood-
land, 2,000,000 gores slashland, and
3,000,000 acres swamp, marsh or waste
land, Of the 21,500,000 acres, 23,000,-
000 acresare in what is known as Old
Ontario, and were settled between
1788 and 1800. There are besides in
the north country scattered tracts of
land aggregating 1,500,000 acres in ex-
tent and settled within the last few
years. For agricultural purposes we
have to add another area of 10,000,000
acres unoccupied and only partly ex-
plored as yet. It is known as the clay
bolt, and is being opened up by the
National Transcontinental Railway.
In 1890 Ontario produced $12,000,-
000 worth of beef, $10,000,000 in bacon
and pork, and $9,000,000 in cheese.
is 1900 the corresponding figures were
$27,200,000, $22,500,000, and $15,000,-
000, In ten years the aggregate values
of those three commodities rose from
$31,000,000 to $01,700,000,
The total value of live stock on the
farms increased from $104,000,000 in
1803 to $189,500,000 in 1907, and the
value of farm lands, buildings and
implements from $923,000,000 to $1,-
222,000,000.
The New Tariff.
(The Guelph Herald,)
There is very little in new United
States tariff for the Canadian farmer,
there being still a duty of 30c a bushel
on barley, and the ten or twelve mil-
lion bushels which used to be sent
from here have dropped to 210,000
bushels. The duty on wheat has been
advanced from 25 to 30c a bushel, so
that the small movement in that grain
is likely to be less, On oats there is
also an increase from 25 to 80c. On
rye thore is an increase from 10 to 20c.
The rate on butter and cheese is six
cents a pound ; on eggs, five cents n
dozen ; beans, 45c a bushel; onions, 40c
a bushel. In some of these items Ca-
nada used to ship largely, hut the Mc-
Kinley tariff knocked the trade on
the head, and under the Payne bill
it will stay that way. The Canadian
farmer must still look to the British
market in all essential particulars.
On limber, the duty has been drop-
ped from $2 per thousand to $1 25 per
thousand rough. Last year we sent
$15,000,000 worth across the border, to
be worked into articles which might as
well'be put up here. On coal the duty
drops from 07c a ton to 45c. Last
year the Maritime Provinces and Bri-
tish Columbia sent $4,000,000 worth to
the New England and Pacific States,
and this is likely to increase. The
placing of hides on the free list will
undoubtedly develop that item, which
was $1,300,000 Last year. The duty on
agricultural implements drops from
20 to 15 per cent„ but that won't
mean -•anything. There is to be a
retaliatory duty on wood pulp, of
which we sent across the bora%p$1,-
300,000 worth. This will be a good
thing,.if it leads to the prohibition of
sending such pulpwood out of the
Dominion at all. The inevitable out-
come in such a case would be the
establishment in Canada of large
paper plants.
Auburn.
Rev. G. G. Harris, B. A., who is to
be supported by the Epworth Leagues
of the Goderich District, in West
China, .is now campaigning the dis-
trict. He was on the Auburn circuit
Sunday, Aug. Sth, and at Blyth on
Monday. He sails for China this fall.
Donnybrook Methodists will hold`
their anniversary services in Septem-
ber, either the 12th or 10th, while
Westfield purpose holding theirs Oct,

At the Official Board meeting of the
Auburn circuit held in Donnybrook
church, Aug. 2nd, Wm. Thompson
was appointed delegate ,to thb Finan-
cial District meeting, and the board
increased their pastor's salary $100,
making it $900.
Tho Missionary Summer School held
in Alma College, St, Thomas, July
15th to 22nd, was a splendid success.
About eighty spent a most enjoyable
and profitable week. The surrreund-
ings were all that could be desired;
we lived in the beautiful and com-
fortable College building, the guests
of ISr. and Mrs. Warner, who spared
tie pains to make every one comforta-
ble, The food was esoellent and sleep-
ing apartments comfortable. We
rose at O.30, and after breakfast the
fest hour Was of a devotional charac-
ter. Then study of Missions, then an
hour for methods of work, followed
byI3,ible study and platform address-
es. The afternoon was devoted to
recreation, giving, a delightful and
profitable variety. The great object
of the school is to induce young people
to invest their life in ]ife'd' noblest
allies, to definitely give themselves at
the call of God to stteh religions work
as!lGod may call thorn and open their`
way to, The edification and inspira-
tion obtained' proved* eminently suc-
cessful in obtaining the desired re -
stilts. The privilege of associating
with returned missionaries and enti-
neat Bible students at meal time and
on the calnptte is no small :part of the
benefits of the school, Many yot'ltig

The American business hen is cer-
tainly doing business when her pro-
duce tallies up to 5,212,800 dozen of
eggs from the town of Petaluma
alone.
With something like over 10g breeds
of poultry, it does seem a waste of
tirne and energy to originate and ex-
ploit so=called "new" varieties.
The hen is not, like us humans,
capable of changing her winter fur-
nishings for summer textures at a
moment's notice; she has to shed her
clothes and at the same time grow
new ones. During this critical period
see to it that she is properly fed and
has extra care.
TCeep the young stock "coming on"
vigorouely. In no way can this be
better accomplished than by regular
and intelligent feeding and cleanliness
scrupulously observed in their quar-
ters.
The fellow who tries to grow 100
hens with room for only twenty-five
or thirty is quite apt to join the army
of people who proclaim that poultry
doesn't pay.

sumes a yellow cast of color, look out

begin to treat for cholera.
