The impreesion evidently gaining
ground •amougst the Breeders of Pare
Sled. Sheep hi. Camas, that the only pro-
spect of securing for themselves a stestely
annual market for their surplue stock
lies in tbe direct r of the eneourage-
smut stud 4eve1oI#2ent of sheep raieing,
as a. businees in our own eountry.
Year ago they frerQ confronted. with
quarantine res ;idiom imposed by the
United Staten whici created conditime
for which they were not prepared end
which,. ji tbe eutli depressed sake in a
marked degree. During the greater part
of the past season the market has no
doubt been a buoyant one,- but lettmey
the feeling of confieence in le continue
ous demand for Canadian sheep in the
United States be,s steadily declined. The
the Canadian product ie still to be
found in the British end, possibly at an
early date, in the European markets.
The English wool snarket is the centre
of distribution for the product of the
great wool producing countries of the
-
world, including Australia, New Zealand
awl the Argentine. If the sheep industry
in this country can ever be developed
to reasonable proportions, it is not
to be expected that ane more natural
or reliable market can be found for sur -
Pine Canadian wools. In addition to this,
Wien the extent of the industry may
make possible the necessary grading and
sorting of the product, such, that it
may be placed upon the British market
in attractive eondition, the prices real-
ized may be found much more remun-
erative than those at present obtained.
It is clear also that the great and
recent sheep sales at the International
were none too eatisfactory for Canad-
ian breeders, and it wee evident that
the outlook for a stendy or increased
trade was not particularly encouraging.
It may seem most natural that Can-
ada should be able to obtain a firm
and advantageous foothold in the mark-
ets of the United States for iter sneep
:led wool, but it is now quite clear that,
mita the trade policies of the two coml.
hiee beconie more firmly established,
the Canadian sheep industry, when de-
pending so largely on the United States
for its export market, rests upon 'a
very mustabie foundation, Fortunately,
however, other and very encouraging
nutlets are available. It may be noted
at this point tlmt the home market ie
not unworthy of consideration. ITehis
year not more than five carloads of
lambs were shipped to Best Buffalo from
Ontario, while in 1907 almost 1,0e9 car-
loads went to that city. The Toronto
and Mout:real markets have absorbed
practically- the whole output durieg the
past season and .at prices equivalent to
that paid for similar grades in Chicago
ana Buffalo, a fact in itself indicating
the strong and growing demand for
mutton on the Canadian market'.
Notwithstanding the proximity of
the United States, the safest outlet for
natural outlet for our surplus meat pro.
ducts, including those of mutton and
lamb, is to be found across the sea,
where the producing power of the land
is unable to eield sufficient for the ne-
cessities of the ceowded populations of
long inhabited .countries. Great Britain
had hitherto ebsorbed all the surplus
of the world's meat supply, but it
seems probable that she is shortly to
have competitors itt the market for for-
eign meats. There is it movement ht Aus-
tria and Gernmuy Which will eventually
result in the opening up of these coun-
tries to a chilled and frozen meat trade.
'A steady market is without doubt thus
assured for all the mutton that Canada
can produce.
The: breeders et pure bred sheep,
therefore, if our argument holds, would
do well to direct their best energies to
• the development of the sheep industry in
our own country. As a matter of fact,
a. strong local demand is the safest mar-
ket in the long run. A material increase
In the sheep population of the country
would create it thoroughly healthy home
market for„ breeding sheep, and one
much to be desired. The opportuuities
in this direction may well be worthy
of somewhat careful consideration.
It is fortunate that at this time the
federal Government is interesting itself
in the sheen industry et the Dominion,
and is making a thorough investigation
with a view to the adoption later of it
policy which may lead to its general
encouragement and development. There
ita.son to believe that sheep raising
in Canada may become at no distant
date it decidedly profitable iudustry,
and the Minister of Agriculture has un-
dertaken a measure which we mey ex
-
poet to be productive of muelt good. re.
ealt. We learn that the members of
the investigating commission, having
completed their researches in the United
Kingdom, are to spend the next few
months in studying conditions in the
Dominion, and. are now engaged in in-
terviewing a number of the prominent
sheep breeders of Ontario. We are lope

co-operation of sheep raisers and farm-
ers generally in the prosecution of their
work.

THE DUTCH BULB INDUSTRY'.
Almost $4,000,000 Worth Are Expected.
Annually.
The Duteh bulb growers me organized
into a general federatio.r rhich slow
numbers nearly 3,000 Meadiers and is di.
Titled into thirty-seven local groups. A
paper is published twice a week, weekly
exchanges are held dining the trade sea-
son, novelties are eeaminea and reported
upon by a committee of judges and a
•
trade council inquires into and decides
all trade differences.
Since 1750 tee cultivation and expert
of bulbs have been regelarly carried on
in Holland, says the journal of the Ir-
ish Department of A.grieulture. The
trade reached its present enormous pro.
es
melons during the last deeadee of the
nineteenth century.
The bulb growing industry was first
confined to Haarlem and its vicinity,
but has gradually extended wherever a
suitable piece of land was available, itt
order to grow bulbs meadows have been
transformed and sand dunes levelled.
The preparation of land for this purpose
is _often very costly, and the value of
the best plots varies from £320 to
£500 ($1,557 to $2,433) an acre.
The export statistics of the industry,
which have been carefully kept since
1897, show that the total export has
very largely increased in the last ten
years. The value of this 'export caemot
HOW be less than le800,000 ($3.893,200.)
Eugland is still Militia's best custom-
er for bulbs, taking nearly 40 per cent.
of the total export. The number of bulb
exporting firms in Holland is about 200;
there are also over 2,500 growers who- do
not export directly, but send their pro,
duce through the larger firms. The num-
ber of persons employed in the bulb in.

GOOD STUNTS FOR BOY SCOUTS AT H OM E.
DAh.ZIEL BOONE AND TITS SCOUT
OUTFIT.
(By C. L, (iilman.)
"Be emend." This is the motto of
the Boy Scouts of Amerka,
It's right and fair that you fellowshould s
k‘Ji.hoaat• iitviis, lat venting Inearki as
weB as
"lie prepared." explains it.
Camping, u.igmtUng, t reek ing and
:scouting are all good fun in themselves,
but we would have to set them down as
.juet play if they didn't help at. fellow to
"be prepared." for real diffivatiee aed
dangers whici, arc 'bound to come to
li;m
.in times peat our eountry has been
in dangers and eseaptd from them be-
eauee its mot were prepared to fight
elm die kr it.
But our country toelay asks more of
ice men. It asks them to see elearly
what is right and to stiel up for that
right at whatever cost.
You Route have it splenaid eh:ince to
reach manhood prepared to live for our
country, which takes a whole lot more
sense and sand than just dying for it.
"Be prepared" to do thie,
Every time you are fair in ,scout
games ana eontests--every time you are
kind, when you want to be selfish—every
time you tell the truth just because it
is tlte truth—every time you stick. to
what you keow is right through thick
aid thin, yon are making yourself
stronger to play your part as a man.
No one ever became truthful, fair and
brave by just thinking about it.
Scouting involves the practice of these
virtues every ulnae as a part of the
game.
If you will practice these things ns
eeouts you will "be prepared" to do
your duty as men with the wisdom to
see whati is right and the courage to
do it, like Daniel Boone, the old scout,
whose motto is the theme of this old
rhyme:
"The men who. •won iour mighty west
Front foemen white awl red

An admiralde scout game is played
over "big ternary" with one scout "hid-
ing out" and the rest hutting him. The
scouts in the searching party can locate
the one in biding by following his trail
at well as by searching the eountry and
pueting some of their nmnber toThead
him off from the goal. The scout hid-
ing must be clever at "taking cover" in
order to skulk back to goal unseen. He
muat also run loins to make goal with-
out being "tagged"' if the searchers find
hire. The ecoute left to guard the
goal should keep 100 yards from it in
order that the scout hiding out shall
have a fair chance to slip pest them.
A long distance relay race between
patrols is alwaye an interesting stunt.
Gen. Baden-Powell, in hie book.,
"Scouting for Boys," gives the follow-
ing directions for the game of "dis-
patch running":

before he reaches the goal.

BE YE FAITHFUL..
An eastern king was once in need of
at faithful servant and friend. Ile gave
*out notice that be wanted a man to do
a day's work, and two men came stud
asked to be employed. He engaged VIM
both for eertain fixed wages, aue set
them to work to fill a basket with wa-
ter from it neighboringwell, saying he
would come in the evening and see their
work. He then left them to themselves,
and went away.
After putting in one twct basketfuls,
one of the men said;
"What is the good of doing this ti.
less work? m soon as' you put the water
in ode side it runs out on the other.*
TIM other man answered:. '
"But we have our daily wages, have.,
n't we? The use of the work is the mas-
ter's business, not our's."
"I ant not going to slo men passe -
work," replied the otheenate, throwing
down his bucket, went away,
The other man continued hie Wolk,
till about sunset 1m exhausted the :well,
Looking down into it, he saw som

bucket onee snore, and drew u e'es
cious diamond ring.
"Xow 1 see the use of pouring ytet
into a basket," he exclaimed to himself,
"If the bead bed brought up the ring
before the well was dry, it would have
been found in the basket. The labor
was not useless after all."
But he itad yet to learn why the Ishii;
had ordered this apparently useless task.
It was to test their capacity for perfect
obedience, without which uo servant is
At this moment the king came up ter
him, and, as he bade the men keep the
ring, he said:
"Thou hast been faithful in a little s.
thing; now, see I can trust thee in

The moral is obvious. Always evork
