Notice To -Advertisers.
Changes of aduertisenzents
must be in this office by Mon-
day of each weep, otherwise
we cannot guarantee a change,
and the previous week's ad-
vertisement must remain.
Advertisers, in their own
interests, should observe this
rule. By doing so, it will as-
sist in getting the paper Rat
ON TIME, which is a benefit
to the advertisers, readers and
the publisher.
THE ADVANCE
How The Farmer Would Be Hit.
A contemporary brings out the fact
as bearing on the naval discussion,
that in the fiscal years from 1868 to
1906 the total exports of the Dominion
of Canada figured up to $3,973,195,924,
divided thus : Great Britain $2,103,-
983,163 ; United States $1,405,700,869 ;
all other nations, $403,502,893. o
The figures for the year 1908 are per-
haps more easily grasped. Our ex-
ports of cereals, live stock, dead meats
and dairy products amounted in 1908
to $107,035,910, of which Great Britain
took $97,307,730, or 90.2 per cent.
In case of a severe naval war in
which Great Britain were engaged one
of the first aims of the enemy would
be to prevent the regular flow of
ocean -borne trade to Britain. Were
the British navy unable to crush the
opposing navy and keep open , the
trade routes, what would happen to
Canada ? The figures for 1908 show
that Britain buys about nine -tenths of
all our farm products. Picture the
panic and ruin that would ensue with
interruption to this trade in—event of a
naval war stubbornly contested or
protracted. •
Since Premier Asquith, Sir Edward
Grey, Lord Rosebery and others—Bri-
tish Liberals, not jingoes—agree in
saying that the menace against Bri-
tain is real, it is Canada's business to
be interested in the naval question.
And let Parliament, Government and
Opposition attend to see that Cana-
da's action is worthy of her interest
and really bears upon the balance of
strength.
A Great Industry.
(Weekly Sun.)
The product of the canning and jam
factories of Ontario, •in fruit alone,
may be safely placed at $3,500,000 a
year. Tender fruits disposed of in the
raw state will account for at least one
and one-half millions more. The ap-
ple output' of the province—counting
in that consumed on the farm, the
portion sold in the raw, and the evap-
orated product—is worth not less than
$7,000,000. Here is a total output of
$11,000,000 a year aside from three to
three and one-half millions represent-
ing the vegetable pack of the factories
engaged in fruit canning.
The fruit industry is as widespread
as any other branch of Provincial ag-
riculture. It covers not only the Ni-
agara district, but the north shore of
Lake Ontario, a large part of the Erie
shore, the Huron tract, and the Geor-
gian Bay district, The industry is a
great employer of labor, and labor of
a kind that would otherwise be large-
ly unemployed—women and children
in smaller towns and villages. It is a
beneficent industry ; there are no sec-
tions in which there is less of poverty
than where fruit is largely grown and
there is no article of table use which
contributes more to the physical well-
being of the people than is the case
with fruit.

Bagged 20 Squirrels.
On Nov, 0th 1Arr, W. Greaves, travel-
ling salesman for the Deering Itnplo-
fnent Company, was put hunting in
!arra, Ile was fortunate enough to
bag twenty black equirrels. Black
squirrels have been very scarce for
years, but this year they seen to be

Out Of Work.
New York has an out -of -work popu-
lation of 200,000 men and women, The
fact that such a condition exists in a
single center of a country that boasts
of its abundant opportunity for all
men, leads to the suspicion that either
the boast is false or that some people
have been successful in cornering op-
portunity,
Threshing Beans.
For some time the farmers of the
West of Tuckersmitbl who have been
growing as much as 10 and 12 acres of
beans, have had much trouble in get-
tini them threshed in a marketable
way, as the grain threshing machines
are not suitable for the work. Noble
Holland, of the Huron road west, has
built a, machine which appears quite
suitable for the work. It is a small
machine and is run with a gasoline
engine which is set on top of the ma-
chine and is doing satisfactory, work.

Had Money To Burn.
Mr. W. Hooper, who lives on Rich-
mond street, London, has money to
burn. While raking leaves on the
lawn the other evening $18 in bills
slipped from his pocket. Mr. Hooper
promptly raked them up in the leaves
and burnt the money. He was at-
tending to his business of raking
when his little boy asked him for
something. In going through bis
pockets, the money was accidently.
pulled out, and before he kirew what
had happened, his $18 had vanished in
smoke.
Potatoes Galore.
The Kincardine Review says :—If
the weather is good, Mr. E. Dawd'on
will have his potatoes pitted this week
in the sand at the foot of the hill on
his farm. He had over 25 acres under
potatoes. He has every sort of ma-
chinery for large operations in potato
culture—a planter, a power sprayer, a
potato cultivator, a seed cutter and a
digger. He also has a picker in con •
nection with his digger, but it bruised
the potatoes so he removed it and en-
gaged a staff of young lads to do that
work. He will have probably five
thousand bushels of first-class pota-
toes, different approved varieties, and
expects to sell them at $1 a bushel,
Are You A Dyspeptic ? •
Nine people out of ten suffer from
dyspepsia and don't know it: Half
the pale cheeks, poor appetite and
sleepless nights are the direct result of
dyspepsia. The cause lies in failure of
the stomach and kidneys are clogged,
and unable to do their work. Nothing
puts vigor into those organs so fast as
Dr. Hamilton's Pills. They tone up
the whole digestive system, regulate
and strengthen the stomach, absolute-
ly cure dyspepsia. Simple to take and
sure to cure—better try Dr. Hamil-
ton's Pills.

Cow Testing Associations.
To what class does each of your
dairy cows belong? A business roan
bends his energies towards making
every dollar expended earn as much
as :it possibly can, From some pew.
bey received from members of
cow testing associations it would seem
that many cows are not expected to
earn anything above the bare cost of
feed from now till next spring. Rat
here and there are cows in another
class altogether, giving as high as '750
lbs, milk and 23 lbs, fat in October,
not freshly calved cows but cows that
freshened in April or May, Suppos-
ing the ordinary factory patron di-
vides his cows into just two classes,
those that pay, and those that do not
pay. Is he even then in a position to
place each cow unerringly? Has be
records to show how much milk or fat
each cow gives month by month, and
bow much her feed costs ? Such rec-
ords are not only very easily kept, but
are invaluable in determining which
cows are paying the best profit and
which are just on the pension list.
With this information at band it will
be but a natural step to let one or two
go of to the butcher, thereby saving
unprofitable labour, while the grain
they would have consumed may be
nsed'in further development of those
that are naturally fitted for turning
it economically into milk 'and 'butter
fat. Keep records, keep no drones,
but keep only such cows as prove
themselves by the records to be in the
top class, producing plenty of milia,
from a reasonable amount of suitable
feed,
