that Mr Morrison, of Spokane Falls,

bred stock from here ; two fine cows,
some thoroughbred sheep, and six
Clydesdale stallions, being o,e of the
best lots ever shipped from this coun-
try. Most of the stallions were prize
winners, heavy, massive animals, and
selected from the most fashionable
stock in our country. It is certainly
a disappointment to our breeders to
lose such breeding stock as Bridan,
What Care I, Samson, and the im•
ported stallion, Kinmount Willie,
which was purchased in Scotland, at
three mouths old, for the sum of £200.

has a goof crop this year, we hope he

vestment may prosper with him, and
it will be a boon for the breeders ot

"I can buy more cattle and get
them of a better quality in the county
of Huron than in any other county I
know 01 in the Province," said a well' t
known Cattle dealer from the east the ,
other days. ``The farmers here have
gone into cattle -raising systematically, 4
and if they would even devote more
attention to it than they have, they
could make more money than by ex-
clusive grain -raising"
"The people up this way think
they have poor crops," said a Belle-
ville miller who was in Clinton the
other day, " but they should go down
into our section of the country, and
see what we have to call crops.
They'd be mighty thankful that they
are as well off as they are. In fact
the farmers of Huron don't know
what poor crops are in comparison
with ourselves."
"There is considerable inquiry for
property in town," remarked a man
who' has property for sale, "and I
think you will see quite a \number ot
ontsidera moving here. Property in
Clinton is a good investment, and al-
ways will be, as the town bas the ad.

tion. Those who buy now are the
ones who will reap the benefit because
property certainly will advance in
price. You can't get a vacant lot now
at anything near what it could have
been purchased for a year or eo ago.
