' Almost every local paper one picks up is at present devoting considerable space to showing that the town in which it is published is the most desir- able spot on earth for a pork -packing factory. If half the schemes now be- ing mooted- are carried. through the number of Pork factories in Western Ontario will be trebled before the year is out. It is possible to get too much ot a good thing. There is an old adage against, putting all one's eggs in the same basket, and the pres- ent agitation may result in too many factories being established. Pethrriesters should have all weecla and thistles mit on the roads in their respective road divisions. How many of the pathreasters in this county attend to this duty? The law also instructs municipal councils to see that pathtnasters perforne this duty, aild the cotincil is liable for damages if they fail toprosecute pathinasters who neglect their deityin this respect, Few councils are free from responsibility in this matter, and yet with a very little firmness on the part of councils and a, very little labor by pathinastere, our highways might be keet dean and deeent, and the weeds winch now flourish and go to seed on them, dirty- ing and destroying th c lands adjoining, Weald be kept tinder.
