Perhaps no prettier place is to be
seen in Ontario tl an that at New
man's upper leek on the Rideau
Canal. At this station for a quarter
of a has Century resided Mr. Peter
Millar who during that period acted
in the capacity of Lockman, and was
perhaps the best known man on the
canal. Mr. Millar is now a resident
of Alerrick'.•ille, having retired from
active life. To a. correspondet of the
Recorder he related the following ex-
perience: "For many years I was
troubled with a lame back, which
gave me great pain at times, and
caused me much loss of sle s, I

On an average there are some
$7,000 worth of butter shipped from
Exeter each week. This is a gocd
sum of money to go into the farmers'
hands weekly in this section, and
would indicate that- dairying with
proper methods is a paying branch
of agriculture.
A project has been set on foot by. a
namber of unemployed mechanics
and artisans who live in and around
Windsor to migrate to what is known
as the Dauphin district, in Manitoba,
and to found there a little colony,
where a living may be made by
farm and. other work.
