How have the farmers of Ontario re•
sponded to this added demand: They
have responded by producing a lessen-
ed number of beef cattle, a lessened
number of milk cows, a lessened num-
ber of sheep and lambs, a lessened
number of hogs, a lessened quantity
of butter, a lessened quantity of
cheese, a lessened quantity of poultry
and eggs. Even in a small matter like
honey they have kept a lessened num-
ber of bees. What has been the re-
sulti? The export of eggs has ceased.
The export of butter has practically 'coni.
ceased, The export of bacon has been

THE NEW ERA has come to the ;;cc n
elusion that thele is plenty of room
for a larger reciprocity of compliment
and good cheer between sporting clubs
and organization°. Don't let all the
dheeringhe done for .your own side
but give your,ppponents an occasional
Hurrah ! especially where the oc-
casion heartily deserves recogni-
tion. There is a so-called sportsman-
ship that hands out roses to the team
representing your town and a bramble
bush to other fellows. A better plan
would be to divide the boquet. Some-
times the "roasting" a base ball um-
pire for instance receives is not by any
means, creditable to the parties supply-
ing the "guff." Not much wonder
that the young gaffers have their
chorus "off by heart" early in the sea
son and often exhibit a large degree
of downright impudence in its rend-
ering Clintonians may not be as great
sinners along this line as other towns
but a little more attention to increas-
ed courtesy to visitors might be a good
way to sow good seed that might pro-
duce a harvest of friendliness, • and
good fellowship that would be pleas-
urable to all concerned.

evened up by Wilson Turner scoring
by a will placed kick. For sometime
play was m midfield, but the Colonials
began to rush things and put two
more goals in, much to the sorrow of
the Brucefield supporters and joy to
the Niagara people, who were also
strong, as they had a special train
too. Half-time was called with no
more scoring, As all of ne expected
to see Niagara fade away the Iasi half
is was a sore . touch to ,see them out
run and out kick our boys and score
another goal ,dur i n g the lab. half,
There was no let up to the Falls `-boys.
The Rovers have nothing to be ash-

game and the sun was what bothered
the goal tenderr the most. In speak-
ing to Berlin citizens they say„ it was
