We aohnowledge that railroad oorporetione are not easily moved bot unless you ask you ere net likely to receive. Good will come of tbie present stirring up, we believe, if it is continued along proper lines and beartlly eapported instead of being drenobed with toe water. Is some of the youths under 21 yore in this and other towns would read the law relative to frequenting hotels, smok- ing oigare and oigarottes and the fregneot tee of profane and obscene language they would learn that the course they are pur- suing is by no mean in line with the Statute whose penalties are plainly set - out. There are also leucite for the seller as well as buyer in that same legal guide book, that it might be well to understand. We hope the Connell will take np the dieoussion of permanent road.making and try a block or so on our Main street during the ooming Summer. No thought. fnl taxpayer will find fault with careful expenditure of monies along lines of necessary pablio improvement marked by a permanency that will prove the wisdom of such investments. The con. etant hauling of gravel and the little benefit often aeon from its nee points out the neoeoeity of adopting some more modern and systematic plan of yearly expending ae large .a esm as can be spared ont of funds available for this purpose in macadamizing our prinoipal etreete. The wisdom of tbie theory bas bean exemplified here and in hundreds of other plaoes in granolithio eidewalk eon- strnotion and what is wanted is an ex. tension of the preotioe and as a retina not many years would elapse before the outlay in street making could be largely oarteiled'while the improved condition of roads would: be a tribute to the foresight and good judgment of gentlemen at the Caution Board. A maw= that will oome np for eon- eideration,by our town Fathers in the near future will be the construction of a new and larger water tank for fire pro- tection ptirpoeee on the North side of the Maitland—or Brooklyn as it some times called. The present tank will not hold anything like the quantity of water that its dimensions would indicate and if it did the fire engine, pumping at fall capacity, would Boon drain it. Some people Bey ''What's the rash 2" It is always better to be sure than sorry and the owners have a right to expect and demand, if neoeeeary, the proper protec- tion of their property. Fire ie a good eervant bat a bad master and it is little use to look the stable after the equine has been purloined. The probabilities are with the increased use of Gement that a good tank Gould be constructed of that material that would combine usefulness with durability. Present tank is a wood- en one, badly oonetruoted at the start, and defying all past attempts at rectifii• cation. It bas been suggested that the living spring at the rear of the "Norton" terrane might be profitably utilized as a feeder to a reservoir. We believe in the Prohibition of the liquor traffia and we also believe just as firmly in the much abased referendum ae being a wisestep in showing how much in earnest the Ontario electorate is upon Prohibition. If they decline to take interest enough in a public question of so mush importance to themselves and families to record their vote we wonld not oars to hazard a fig for their aid io enforcing the law. A good rousing vote basking up a good law with the necessary legal machinery to properly enforce it will prove a stimulus of no small value to the cause. If instead of anathamie- ing either political parties temperance people would see that the present Aot is understood and rigidly lived np to a big stride would be made toward the a000mp- Iiehmentof the end desired, in the intro- duction of legislation now before Parlia- ment, No government cares to handle temperance legielation and often, we believe, On account of the wishy-washy sentiment of so many people. Many Wins grow out of this Prohibition ques- tion but we want to see eaoh a majority behind 11 before it becomes law that there will be no room for cavil. Eaoh man meet 00 should bear, bis own responsibil- ity in thte matter and etand by his colors.

If this idea strikes our residents favorably, (and the columns of Tog Pon are open for brief letters in reference to it) now would be a good time to set to work at formulating preliminary plane and calling a public meeting to select office bearers.

What do you think about it 7 Our .Supply of Some Foreign Grown Seeds. The following artiole is from the pen of G. 8. Clark, B. 8. A., Chief of the Seed Dept. of Agriculture :— '10 the farmers of Canada were ao- quaiuted with the sources of supply of their root strop seed, and the avenues through whish they pass before reaching them, they would be a great deal more particular in making their purohasee. Practically all the seed for our root crops ie grown in foreign countries. How ever important it may be that the seed for snob crops be grown io the country where it ie wanted for sowing, the cheap labor in these European oonntriee, whioh have beoome the seed gardens of the world ,has made the seed growing incite try unprofitable to Canadian farmers or seed specialists. Our supply of foreign grown aeede ie bought and imported principally by our larger seed firms. They may make their purchases either by paying a Gemmeoanr. ate price to reliable European seed grow - ere, men who grow Beed from selected pedigreed stook, or they may buy seed at a much lower price—seed that is grown by men whose chief end has been to pro. duce a large quantity, independent of the quality of the Drop it will predates. In the former ease, the seed ie grown from selected plants, from roots whioh have an ideal size and form and are known to be true to name. For instance, an ideal turnip is one having a email neck, and top growth. Such a root when planted will produce a comparatively small growth of stalks, and consequently a small amount of seed, but the Beed from eaoh a root ie apt to pro. duos a orop like the mother seed whioh was planted. On the other hand a small taroip having several root prongs and an exoeeeivegrowth of top coming from two or three separate neck growths, will trees - mit ile like through the seed to the next prop. Seed oan be grown from such roots much mora cheaply than from selected roots because in the Hut plane the moth- er roote are culls and are not as valuable for feeding, and secondly they will pro- duoe a much larger quantity of seed. During the last 10 or 15 years the Beed trade has, to a great extent been passing. from the hands of eeedemeo who devote all their time to a study of weds and the Beed trade, into the bands of local dealers. Unfortunately, fair competition in the seed trade, is practically impossible, since the appearanoe of most oommeroial seeds is but a alight indication of their real value. The competition bas been, and ie too largely confined to prices moue. Farmers continue to patronize the local dealer, who is able to quote a low prise for hie goods. The local dealer demands a low prised seed of the wholesale firms, and in turn there has been a growing strife among wholesale seed firma in the buying of cheap goods, with whish to supply local dealers. It ie well to mention, however, that through the progressive spirit of some reliable eeed houses a limited trade of the beat stooks of root orope aaede bac been fostered, and there is little difficulty ex- perienced among intelligent farmers, in getting the beatquality of seeds provided if they go the right way about it, and are willing to pay a commensurate prise,. But meal of the root crop seed sold in Canada is retailed to the farmer at a pries quite as low as our Canadian seed houses have to pay reputed European seed growers for the beat seed from ee- leoted pedigreed stook. Appeele have beeo made, both by seeds. men and farmere, to place earth reetrlo• tions on the seed trade al will serve to 5:41S ARHUt$ aw the reupoaibility donne ted rewith from the hods of inoompeteut' boot dealers, with root erpp wads, this Olin May be excelled by allowing only .re• liable Peed boom) Or Peed importera ,the right to place ouch goods on the market i by allowing theta to place goods In Seal° Ott paekegea, eaoh p0Qkam to be properly labellt•d, and to bear the name and on., ertluenttY the reputation of the geed house in the bands of local dealers to be gold Op oommiegien. only, OZAoial inter, fereuoe in the seed trade may have objectionable features.

IRON PA" -TS FOR BOYS Since Mother Eve first commenced to make Pants for little Cain, boys have always had more or less trouble about keeping their legs covered.
