—The losses caused by fires in the
United States and Canada during
January far exceeded those of January
1903 or 1902; in fact it was the worst
month since May 1901. When the
heavy losses caused by the Baltimore
fire in February are added, the total
is alarming to insurance men.

—Dr. Iyena of Chicago, formerly an
official in the foreign department of

is extremely probable that the United
States and each of the great powers
will do actual fighting before this war

a strong and courageous position."

Besides, Mr. Blair declared the scheme
to he—"a grave and egregious error
which will deal disaster to the country
—a sheer and unjustifiable squander-
ing of public money—a project with-
out a single redeeming feature." Mr.
Blair ought to know, and doubtless
did know what he was talking about,
and sooner than endorse such a scheme
he resigned his Cabinet position.

—The Grit machine seems to have
had hard work securing signatures to
the protest against the election of
Dunlop in North Renfrew. One man
testified that he signed -it while intoxi-
cated; another made his mark, but
both declare that they were not aware
of the purport of the document they
signed. A third acknowledged his
signature, but said he had not a legal
right to sign it, because his property
was in his wife's name. The gudg,•

the protest, What will the machine
not do?
—The severity of the winter and
difficulty experienced by railroads in
bringing coal to the retailers is causing
serious loss to mechanics, In Hespeler
some of the woolen mills had to close
down. In Preston some of the indus-
tries were at the beginning of the
week reported closed down, while in

serious.

—The Canada Furniture Manufac-
turers Limited take a very prominent
part in the exhibition of furniture in
the Crystal Palace, London, England.
It is altogether likely that in the col-
lection will be samples of the product
of Wingham factories. The idea of
high-class furniture from Canada
causes people in the old land some
surprise. They are waking up by de
grees to realize that not only can
Canadian bravery win victories on the
African veldt, but Canadian muscle
and Canadian soil can raise wheat to
supply the old land, and Canadian
skill manufacture furniture flt to grace
even the "stately homes of England."

_SUGAR BEET CULTURE.
The Ontario Sugar Company, Limit-
ed, of Berlin, are holding a series of
meetings in different sections of the
Province of Ontario, for the discussion
of the methods of cultivation and
value of ,the sugar beet crop, The
following meetings will be held in this
vicinity :—
Wingham, Town Hall, 2 p. m. Feb. 23
Bluevale, Foresters " 2 p. m. Feb. 24.
Brussels, Town Hall, 2 p. m. Feb. 25.
Listowel, Town Hall, 2 p. in. Feb. 25.
Ethel, Township Hall, 2 p. m. Feb. 26.
These meetings will be addressed by
some of the following speakers :—
Messrs. Simpson Rennie, Scarboro,
York county ; Geo. R. Barrie, North
Dumfries, Waterloo county; Alfred
Knechtel, Wilmot, Waterloo county;
David Shuh, Berlin, Waterloo county ;
Frank Shuh, Waterloo, and A. E.
Shuttleworth, Agricultural Superin-
tendent of the Ontario Sugar Co.,
Ltd., Berlin. An opportunity for a
full discussion of methods and results
will be afforded everybody.
Following is a clipping from The
Farmers' Sun, Toronto, of Feb, 3rd :—
"One of the best sugar beet yields
reported in South Ontario was ob
tained from the farm of John Duff,
near Myrtle, Mr. Duff planted two
acres in beets, following barley, and
with a spring application of 25 tons
of manure to the acre. His beets
average 15.8 per cent. of sugar and the
returns were $205,82, leas $46.70 for
freight, and $4.50 for seed. There was
a space of 17 inches between the rows,
and the beets were about eight inches
apart. Mr. Duff thinks the season
was particularly favorable for good
results from wide planting, and be-
lieves be would not have had as good
returns in an average season, with
plants so far apart. The land was foul
with sow thistle when the beets were
put, but this is all gone now,
'We cultivated ten times.' raid Mr.
Duff, 'and I believe that, in each eulti.'
vation we earned $6 per day'. I do
not think there is any crop which
would give tie ench returns tie 1 ob-
tained from my sugar beets.'
Mr. Duff is one of the many snccess-
ful growers of sugar beets, who have
been raiding beets for the Ontario
Sugar Company for the past two
years, What he has done, any good
farmer can do."

meetings and profit by the practical

Majuba Day, Feb. 19th.
Smile out Maluba, 'neath that frown
By ages wrinkled on thy brow :
Smile out, and tell to Britain's foes
How vengeance sated clothes thee now.
From out thy lofty bulwarks bold,
With frowning front and heart of steel,
What haat thou seen of shame and woe—
Of tyrant's slaves 'neath tyrant's heel.
The blood that stained thy mountain side
Has cried long years nor cried in vain ;
The avenger's sword in many lands,
Unsheathed, replied—"Wo come again."
They come, the heroes of a hundred wars,
All battle scarred, with glory crowned
They come from Gordon's hallowed tomb,
From India's fields of fame renowned.
They come from Albion's stately halls,
From Erin's lakes of beaming smile;
They come from Scotia's heath clad hills,
From far Australia's sunny Isle.
They come from fair Canadian homes—
The bravest lads in all the band;
Now Zealand sends her stalwart sons
To battle too for Motherland.
On ocean's bounding wave they come
O'er twice three thousand leagues of sea,
They pour their legions on thy shore—
The shout, 'this country shall be free."
They tread thy sands, they stem thy floods,
And scale thy hills 'gainat crafty foe—
They meet the despot's plundering hordes,
And hurl them from their heights below.
By wild Tugela's crimson tide,
Where Modder's bloody waters stray,
Our conquering heroes win the fields—
They celebrate Majuba Day.
Then smile Majuba, 'neath that frown
By ages wrinkled on thy brow ;
Tell Britain's foes in every land,
Wo colob.ate Majuba now.

To All Who Are Undecided
as to whether they shall buy a Fur Coat this winter, or put
it off until next year, we have this advice to offer—"If you
can get good guaranteed new Furs at Cost, buy them at
once," for good Furs have advanced greatly in price since
present stocks were purchased last spring, and are still ad-
vancing rapidly. In view of these facts, it may surprise you
that we are still offering a few superior Furs at. actual COST,
just because we don't wish to carry them over, also because
we need the money now. Winter Ready-to-wear Clothing,
Overcoats and heavy Underwear, will also be sold at Cost.
,,,Groceries,,,
We have a quantity of pure Clover Honey, some of which, we think,
