Goods Cheap Prices goism Nearing The Cross -Roads. (Fe= Ridgetown Dominion.) Once Canada commences to play the navy game, good-bye to any hopes now hold of curtailing the. annual ex- penditure, The millions upon millions added yearly of late to the annual out- lay have been excused because we are building the Grand Trtnnk Pacific. Building a railway is an expensive business, but is merely child's play compared with the building of a navy, Canada according to present plans is to start with a composite fleet of thir- teen small vessels, a number of ill - omen by the way. The 'cost of the thirteen with suitable dockyards will total up quite a tidy sum to be charged to capital, or in other words added to the country's debt, upon which inter- est charges must be paid for all time to come. But besides, there will be the yearly bill to pay for the up -keep of the ships and dockyards, and the salaries of officers and men. Then as time passes the cry will be for more ships, meaning of course more millions in taxes tube wrung out of the people either directly or indirectly. In time of peace Canada's navy will be orna- mental, aside from the wider field it will afford for contractors friendly to the Government to furnish supplies for the fleet at "Arctic" and "Mont - calm" prices. If war should come, real war, of what avail would be our puny fleet against the great ships of the foe, or of what assistance to the British fleet, in the tremendous sea battle that must be fought according to rule, in the British Channel or North Sea. The question of Canada's duty to the Empire at the present time, and what part she shall play in the Im- perial wars of the future is a difficult one to decide, and should not be de- cided without due consideration of Canada's duty to herself. Candidly speaking, under present conditions, we see little use in a small Canadian navy, of no service to either the Do- minion or the Empire in case of need. Situated as we are, such a navy might meet the present needs of an indepen- dent Canada for in that ease we should have no fear from Great Britain's ene- mies. But if it is our desire to always remain an integral part of the British Empire, "for better or for worse," then we believe our best play is to strengthen the central naval force of the Empire and make the Imperial fleet impregnable. In truth, Canada just now is fencing with the question, although fighting shy of acknowledging it : "Shall it be Independence or Im- perialism with all that both words imply ?" The compromise of a Canadian fleet is the outcome of a conference at which those who attended it feared to face and decide the great question which must be decided sometime, and that perhaps soon. The Canadian - made fleet under Canadian control is a concession to "Independence." The fleet to be officered for a time at least by British naval men, is the one string holding to Imperialism. We approach the cross-roads and must soon turn either to the right or the left. Huron County Working. Huron County will have twelve con- tests for tool option In January.

Ploughing By Steam. , Though not entirely new, a novelty in these parts of Ontario was witness- ed on an Oxford farm recently, when steam was used for ploughing per- poses. Reeve W, Forbes of West Zorra, a progressive farmer, hitched a traction threshing engine to two dou- ble plows, turping four furrows at once, and started into a 22 acre field, which he finished in four days, a much less cost than plowing in the ordinary way. The experiment was watched with a great deal of interest, and plowing with an engine may be- come general; if it can be proved that the cost is less. Coal and wood are both used as fuel. Telegraph Line Bought. The Goderioh Signal says :—A few days ago the connection at the (lod- erich of lee of the 0, N, W, Telegraph Co, with the line running north along the lake shore to Kincardine was severed, the reason being that the company had sold the line to J. W, Mayes, who purchased it for use in connection .with the Onterio West Shore .Railway., The Railway Com- pany intends to convert it into a tele- phone line and will do its dispatching by telephone, Telephone instruments have been purchased and will be placed at Dunlop, Sheppardton, Port Albert, Kingsbridge, Kintail, Laugier, Alnberley, Pine River and Kincardine, and Mr, Moyes states that it is in- tended to allow the public the uee of the telephone line, free of charge.

The casket for the late Jonathan Miller was specially manufactured in London by the Globe Casket Co. It is the largest and most substantial that firm ever turned out. Inside measurements are as follows : — six feet, six inches long, forty-five inches wide, and 29. inches deep. There are eight handles all of which are reinfor- ced with iron stripes inside. It re- quired eight strong men to carry and would not permit of being slid into a hearse, a special wagon having been secured to convey it to the cemetery. The outer shell was seven feet, eight inches long, four feet, two inches wide, and thirty-three inches deep. Hogs Are' Scarce. This of course refers to the four - footed kind. That a scarcity of live hogs exists throughout the Province resulting in high prices and insufficient supply has been ascertained by the Ontario Department of Agriculture from statistics recently received. Specialists say that this occurs at regular periods in the live stock in- dustry, because the moment feed rose in price, farmers sold their swine, and went out of that kind of stock. Auto- matically this created• a scarcity, and sent the price up to its present level of eight cents a pound for live animals. The farmer who held to bis stock through high or low feed prices was the only one who reaped profits. To Move Off A Cold. Cough mixtures "dope" a cold—but don't cure. Above all else, keep the bowels regular and stimulate the eliminating organs. More valuable than any cough syrup are Dr. Hamil- ton's Pills. They clear the system of every trace of cold—the dull headache, aching limbs and cough disappears. Take the pills before retiring, they work while you sleep, and by morning your.cold is broken and passes quickly away. All dealers sell Dr. Hamilton's Pills in 25c boxes. The Canadian Farm publishes a re- view of the world's situation in regard to hog, and hog products by the in- spector of meats at Edinburgh, Scot- land. This reviewer states that at Os, per 112 lbs., (2c per lb.) for meal and 421. per 112 lbs., (Oc per lb.) for dead pork, the British farmer can make money at the business. How do these figures compare with the cost of pro- ducing hogs in Canada ? Meal at one cent a lb. is considered dear feeding for hogs, in thi3, country, even when prices for hogs run up to $7 and $8 per cwt., live weight. If the British farmer, with high rents to pay and other things in proportion, can make money in producing hogs on the basis laid down surely the Canadian farmer, who is touch more favorably situated as to cost of land, feed, etc., should be able to do so at the prices ruling here for hogs and products. Canadian far- mers should do some tall thinking just here, and do it quick. Fanners else- where find pork production a profit- able business and are getting into the game as fast as they can. inevns �tlems {�w..nivwasvw —The people of Winnipeg will be caked upon to pay $2,581,000 in tales, according to the estimates of tbe preeent.year. —A fanner at 13aleaeral, Man., it is said, secured a yield. of 480 bus. per acre on his potato patch, which at 27c per bus, gave him 5120,60 per acre return, •.lir.

Ile had been confined to his bed for the past eleven months. He did not suffer from any particular disease, having ,simply sank away under the great weight of years. His latter years were peaceful, as his life had been, and he passed away as if falling into sleep. His mental faculties re- mained clear until the end, Mr. Dar- win was born in the parish of Lanca- shire, England, on September 0, 1809, He arrived in Canada on May 1, 1860, and came to Seaforth in October of the same year, and had resided there ever since, Why Eggs Are Dear. People think that the price and the scarcity of eggs is affected by the climate. This is a wrong impression, The two months of October and No- vember are the worst months. Not long ago the Ontario Agricultural Col- lege at Guelph set aside eighty hens under the conditions that prevail in the average farm. A strict record was kept of the laying of the bens, and these are the interesting figures that were secured : the "lay" for each month was—January 777, February 791, March 1644, April 1939, May 1650, June 1066, July 944, August 886, Sep- tember 236, October 161, November 114, December 538.- Black 38.Black And Green Tea. Early writers speak of tea as having two varieties. One Thea bohen, they supposed to be the source of the black and the other, Thea virdis, of the green tea. But Robt. Fortune estab- lished the fact in 1848 that, while these two varieties existed, black and green were made indifferently from both. The tea flower is small, single, white and has no smell. The seeds are three small nuts, like filberts, and have an oily and bitter taste. The leaves are used. In China there are about three crops annually, the first being gather- ed as soon as the leaves break in the spring, April to May, and the latter as new "flushes" (buds), are made by the plants which have been stripped of their earlier foliage, this harvest beginning in June or July and lasting as late as Sept. or Oct, An almond, eyed. Oriental, Lo Yi, the earliest Chinese writer, pronounces this eulo- gium on tea. "It tempers' the spirits and harmonizes the mind, dispels las- situde and relieves fatigue, atvakens thought and prevents drowsiness, lightens and refreshes the body and clears the perceptive faculties."- Are You Subject To Colds ?

Garrow of 116 Millicent St., Toronto, writes under date of September 13, 1908, "One year ago this spring I con- tracted a severe cold in the chest, which developed into Bronchitis, 1 took three kinds of medicine and found no improve. ment. Afriend of mine advised me to try PSYCHINE and in three days 1 felt like a new man again. I desire to let others know what a valuable cure you have in PSY- CHINEfor it cured me where all other med. icines had failed. I am more than thankf ul to be well again, and for thesake of others who may be ill,you may publish this testimonial."' Stop that cold or the results will be serious. You can do this by toning up the system with PSYCHINE. Por Sale by all Dragsiete, SOe. & S1 pet bottle. Dr. T. A.
