Onr forefathers got up at daybreak
and did more work before breakfast than
the average young buck does now in a
day. The farmer of the old school had
his slow gaited hcrse and his wag-
gon. The young blood now has his
rubber -tired, light -geared buggy, and a
roadster with a mark. The old fellows
cleared the land and enjoyed life. There
is a new order arisen -the young dis-
contents. -.Raymond's Record, Oakville.
Onr Canadian manufacturers, in fact
in many lines of production are suffer -
just because they aro unknown to the
people, and they aro certain to continuo
to suffer until they realize that they can-
not do bneiness while they remain in ob.
scurity. Their Ameritan rivals will
beat them out of the market every time.
although their goods are of lese valve,
simply because they invite custom, by
advertising that they have articles for
sale, -Vancouver Province.
Liberals everywhere will he glad to
learn that the Hon. Geo. W. Ross in-
formed the Liberal members of the Leg-
islature at their caucus recently that he
intended to retain his position as their
leader. The decision not to hold a gen-
eral Provincial convention this year is
wise. Tho Government should be given
a little time "to feel their oats," so that
they may put their policy in concrete
shape before the country. Meanwhile
the Liberals can "take stock" something
very necessary. -St. Catharines Star -

evil that it has been doing to so many.
Gambling in Halifax has been on the
increase year by year, and there is many
a man who has been in good circumstan-
ces that is to day in destitution through
it; and there are many unpaid bills on
account of same, since the money has
been spent in gambling. It has been the
downfall of so many -so why should the
women encourage it? --Halifax Recorder.
The Stratford Herald gives Mr. Elliott
the new editor of the. Mitchell Recorder,
the following practical and reliable ad.
vice. It says: "From the tenor of hie
salutatory we judge the new editor is a
thinker, and zealous to perform his duty
as a "monlder of public opinion," hence
his prompt start upon that oft discourag-
ing operation. Brer. Elliott will do
wisely not to get so infatuated with the
moulding of public opinion, as to forget
the need of collecting pay for the hands.
He will in due course learn that the pro-
saic duties of journalism very much
overweigh the poetic."

There are not euough Normal schools
to go around. And the Whitney Gov-

Writing in The Missionary Review of
the World of the growth of the mission•
ary enterprise, Robert E. Speer says: -
"It entered the nineteenth century with
7 missionary societies and left it with
300. It entered with 170 missionaries
aoci Left it with 12,000. It entered with
an income of ;,25,000 and left with $150,-
000,000. It entered with 50 translations
of the Bible and left with 400 • It entered
with 50,000 native Christians and left it
with 1,500,000, And it is not ending its
.work. It is only beginning. One of the
most significant of all modern develop-
ments in the work of missions, indeed,
the most significant of all, is the Student
Volunteer Movement. No less than 2,-
357 missionaries have gone out ander its
auspices since 1892. And there Is a new
army of noble recruits from our colleges
offering for the foreign mission field
every year."

Immigration into Ontario.
In the official report of the immigrants
to Ontario last year, made by Thos.
Southworth, head of the Colonization
Bureau, the 34,958 immigrants Claimed
are stated to include 29,913 English
speaking ones. The chief figures of the
latter are: -
English 23,316
Scotch 4,496
Irish 1,765
Welsh 233
29,820
There were besides a few dozen from
the United States, Australia, South
Africa, Newfoundland, etc. The chief
other races represented in the immigra-
tion were:
Hebrews 1,332
Russians, including 937 Finns .1,130
Scandinavians 761
Italians. ... 665
Germans ........ .. 245
Other Earopeans (mostly Gali-
cians, Poles, etc) 902
Outario, according to the foregoing, is
getting a pretty good class of immigrants
-the kind we all want most, namely,
our English speaking kin. Nor are the
balk of the others objectionable; indeed,
it would be unreasonable for Ontario to
expect to come off better in such a mat-
ter. Reason for first-class satisfaction
exists if really 34,000 such people came
in to this Province last year to stay. An
uneasy apprehension of them, not a
large one we hope, were birds of pass-
age merely flittering through. It is
years since the population of Ontario in-
creased by as many as 34,000 from all
sources combined, let alone merely im-
migration. May the gain continue at
that and a greater rate and be of as good
quality. -Ottawa Journal.
Incubator Items.
The following brief notes, which will
be found voluble by those who have
incubators, are taken from United
States Farmers' Bulletin No. 236:
Avoid smoke.
Study yon incubator.
Do not overfill the tray.
Turn every egg the third day.
Cool the eggs every morning,
Test all eggs by the seventh day.
Test again by the eleventh day.
Test again by the fifteeth day.
Learn how to trim and clean a lamp.
Acqnaint yourself with all its parts.
Read the manufacturer's directions
for setting it up.
Set it up carefully and according to
intrntctious.
Keep the lamps fall, the wick and tube
clean.
See that the eggs are clean and dry
before setting them.
Set fertile eggs only, Waste no effort
upon those that are doubtful.
Be sure your hands are clean when
handling eggs.
Balance all eggs. large end up, a few
hours before placing them in the tray.
Never try to run an incubator in
drafty place, nor near a stove nor where
the sun shines upon it.
If the air space is ton large, supply
moisture; if too small, put saucer of dry
lime in the room and run without moie-
tare b day or two.

Items from The "Times" Pyle s
A meeting of the shareholders of the
proposed new salt well was held in the
conncil chamber on Monday evening
immediately after the adjoarnment of
the council, for the purpose of electing
officers and making arrangements for
applying to the government for letters
patent to form a joint stock company.
B Willson was appointed chairman of
the meeting and on taking the chair ex-
plained why the meeting had been called,
and stated that $1,930 worth of shares
had been subscribed, and that they ex-
pected to raise it as high as $2,600 before
long. He said he had been to see the
proposed site, on lot 41, con. 13, East
Wawanosh, owned by Thos. Walker,
and that he thought it was the best place
they could find for that purpose. He
also stated that he had secured the right
of way for laying the pipe line, from the
farmers living between that point and
Wingham.
Last Saturday deputations from the
counties of Huron, Gray, Wellington
and Perth waited upon the Ontario
Goverment to advocate various schemes
for the formation of a new county, out
of portions of these counties. Among
the proposed new counties were the
following: The county of Lansdowne to
be formed out of the townships of Minto,
Arthur, Maryboro and West Luther
from the county of Wellington, the
township of Wallace from Perth, the
township of Howick from Huron, and the
towns of Palmerston and Harriston and
the villages of Arthur, Clifford and Dray-
ton from the county of Wellington, and
the village of Wroxeter from the coun-
ty of Huron, with the county town at
Palmerston. The county of Maitland,
to be formed out of the townships of
Elms, Wallace and Mornington from
Perth, the townships of Grey and How -
ick from Huron, the township of Mary-
bro', the towns of Palmerston and List-
owel, the villages of Brussels and Wrox-
eter, with Listowel as the county seat.
The deputations from each place pressed
their claims very strongly, their claims
were antagonistic and they did not fare
very well.

Convenient Way of Holding Wood -
How to Make and Use This
Adjunct of Farm Labor.
In the illustration is shown an
easily made sawhorse and a conven-
ient way of holding wood. Use pieces
of 2 by 3 or 2 by 4 -inch stuff for the
legs cutting them the proper length.
Mortise the legs together and connect
SAW -NORSE IN POSITION,
the ends with wooden braces made of
1 by 1% inch stuff at top and bottom
on each side as shown. Run a light
iron rod from one end piece to thief
other at centre.
To hold the timber in ydaee when
sawing secure a hickory pole about 2:
Inches in diameter and 6 feet long.!
Fasten one end to the ground at one,
side of the horse by means of a stake'
or a bent wooden staple as illustrated.
Bend the pale over the timber to be
held and fasten with a forked stake
set in the ground. A small postwith
holes bored in one side a few inches
apart and a pin to fasten in the holes
will be found preferable to a forked
stick, as the pole can thus be sprung
down and held at different points to
suit the various kinds of wood laid on
the saw -horse.
How Germany Keeps Superb Forests.
At the last meeting of the Nebraska
forestry society, Dr. C. E. Bessey out-
lined a few of the methods followed in
Germany, where groves and forests
are handled with scientific skill. As
you go through the empire you find the
forests very abundant, especially in
the central part. The sandy soil is
utilized by planting it to forest trees.
There is no mixing of species, only
one kind being planted in a block.
They range in size all the way from
slender saplings a few feet in height
to forest monarchs 100 years old.
These forests are a beautiful sight to
behold, Iooking like gigantic masses of
green -on the landscape.
A few birches and spruce are plant-
ed, but the great majority of these
trees are of the variety known to us
as Scotch pine, called there simply
pines. Different methods of planting
are followed, according to the purpose
for which the timber is to be used. II
poles are to be produced, the treats
are planted very close together, than
they may grow tall and slender. la
other cases the trees are grown far-
ther apart and the branches used for
fuel and the bodies for lumber.
The small trees are started in nur-
series and then transplanted into these
forest blocks, sandy land being utilized
in every case. Apparently there has
been no tendency as yet to use good
farming land for this purpose. Forests
are handled there mllcll as crops are
in the hafted States, i e, blocks are
planted successively to insure a suc-
cession of timber. Tike Germans are
very particular about keeping their
forests free from diseases that affect,
the trees. A diseased tree is detected;
cut down and removed at once.
Economy of Hog Raising.
Director A. M. Soule of the Virginia,
experiment station makes the follow-
ing statement in comparing the econo-
my of swine husbandry with that et
cattle raising:
"Lawes and Gilbert, the celebrated
English investigators, have shows
conclusively that 8110 fattening ox con-
sumes
oo-surges twelve to thirteen pomade of
dry substance per pound of gain as
compared with four or five pounds far
hogs. Titus two or more pounds a[
pork can be made on the food regvireal
for one pound of beef. Though the
sheep is considered one of the maul
profitable and economical andazals to
maintain on the farm, the beg realms
a pound of gain on one-third to one-
half less dry food. The hog aloe yields
a high per cent. of dressed meat --
from 74 to 82 per cent. With ca.atas
the per cent. of useful cuts runs& down.
as low as 45, though in some Cases 4t
may go as high as 70, and with sheep,
depending on age and condition, from
40 to 60 per cent.
Growth of Young Animals.
There is no time when weight may
be added to animals so cheaply des
when they are young. Experiments .
have shown that a lamb may average
a gain of a pound in weight for each
six pounds of milk which it talk -es. `1a
this case each pound of solids in the
food would produce more than a potted'
of gain in the young animate. Witt
older animals six to ten pounds of sol-
ids would be required for each pound
of gain. The same is true of cah'eu;
hence the importance of the fariee+r
having the benefit of the growth eC
the animal during the earliest period
of its life. -Country Gentleman.
Fattening the Lambs.
The Iambs should be put in the fid
lots at three to six months old and
forced to an early market at eight to
nine months old, says Farm Journal.
A ration of corn and wheat bran,
equal parts, with roots or ensilage
with clover or alfalfa hay, will gLYe
good results. A ration of two partes
oats and one part wheat bran, with
sugar beets and ensilage, will also give
good results. Whole wheat gives better
results in sheep feeding than wheat
ground. Sheep as a rule do better
when they grind their own grain.
Selecting the Gilts.
A pig out of a pig, the sire of 'Intl
being pigs, is much weaker in vitality
and the constitutional vigor to with-
stand diseases or hardship than the
product Of mature parentage; hence
the advisability of always selecting
the gilts that are desired for brood
sows from the litters of mature shies'
and dams. --Farmers Advocate.
