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 - NI that they may meet with the full co-operation of sheep raisers and farm- ers generally in the prosecution of their work. FALLus TRAWBERBIES.

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. (lustre- is estimated at 4,000. FOUND QUICK CURE AFTER EIGHT YEARS Dodd's Kidney Pills Triumph Where Belts and Plas- ters Fail.

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 First saw the rig,Itt as they might hest --- Then bravely went 'Mimi."

To make this test fair it should be Pulled riff its it "stony woods." The blindfolded scout must remember the first wet law ata not fire • melees be honestly hears a sound from the an- proachiug smut. 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": scoht is sent to carry a note to a, certain spot or house feom.distancf within it given tittle. "Hostile" scout .; are detailed to prevent any itemise() get, tine 0:laugh and to hide themselves at different points where they may hope to irirteept the runner.

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 shining at the bottom.. He let 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 great things. Henceforth thou shalt team' at my right handl" The moral is obvious. Always evork willingly, however uselesg your toil may seeine-Ex. THE .1-1 WHER CHRISTIAN LIFE. .
