OD T. --T118 Vidotte says :-Once again 1t. is our sad d.ny to record a visit from the grim reaper, Death. On Friday afternoon las., the spirit of William Ardeli, of the 0th eon„ took its flight from this mortal sphere. Deceased had not been enjcying the best of health, but being a man of remarkable endurance and fortitude, be kept at hie work long after a pbysioian should have been oon- sulted, until a1lcnt a week before his de. miss, when he was beyond the help of medical skill. Deoeased was born in the County of Kinn, Ireland, in the year 1818, his father dying when be was a lad of about three years of age. When 17 years old, he, rcoompanied by hie brother old (10 years Josephand his r ) s moth e and younger late, (the late Aire. Adam L' noxa), (mine to this country and lived for a time sear Liman. For two years ae worked as hrakeeman on the Grand Trunk betwein London and Toronto. About 25 year, ago, he Dame to Gerrie, and in the year 1875 was married to Mary Jane, seoond daughter of Thos. Nash, of this village. lie leaves a sorrowing widow and six ohildren, three boys and three girls, imaging from 18 to 3 years of age, to mourn 'Bis loss. He was a true and faithful bneband, and a kind and indulgentfathr.r. As a neighbor and friend, he was always obliging, and ever willing to saor.eoe golf interest to lend a helping band to those in trouble. Hie remains were interred in their last earth- ly resting plans in the Gerrie cemetery on Sabbath afternoon, the funeral being conducted by the Independent Order of Oddfellows, of which deceased was a member. The Government and Agri- culture. The fact that the foundation of Ontar- io's prosperity is a prosperous agriculture, renders the mations of the Provincial Government tewarde this leading indue• try of great importance. It ie now about ten years sinus a Minister of Agriculture was added to the Ontario Cabinet in the person of Mt. Drury, who, two years later, was eaoc_eded by Mr. Dryden, the present minister. What have these gentlemen and the Government before them done for :he promotion of the great agricultural interest ? Agrionitnral Sooietiee, Fruit growers' Associations, Cheese and Butter Asso- uiations have been encouraged and sub- sidized ; Farmers' Institutes, which were begun in 1885, and definitely organized in 1889, are now a regular branch of the Department of Agriouitnre ; the travell- ing dairy was first sent out in 1891, and later the buttes and cheese -makers of the province were invited to attend the Agri- cultural College at Guelph, for instrnotion in their art. The dairy school, at Guelph, was supplemented in 1895 by one at Kingston, and a little later by one at Strathroy. These methods of sdnoation in the latest al,d moat approved prooees es of farm and deity work constitute a real lever for the improvement of Ontario agriculture, It is only by economy and progrees that our farmers can keep up the °ompetitiaei with their fellows in other farming countries, to wbioh all workers in th'1 world's great workebop are now exposed. Another great engine of education is the Agrioaltur.•,l College at Guelph, which has now berth in existence for about a quarter of a century. Direct teaohing in practical and Ruientifio agriculture is here combined with experiments in testing varieties of ger in, graes and roots, and the feeding of ,tattle, sheep and pigs. The insults of thet,-a experiments are made available to the pnblio in the reports of the college, and are thus a ready guide to the farmer wits wishes to test his prao• tioe by the sxi'erienoe of others. The remarkrble expansion of the thane industry of ilio Province, which now dominates the markets of England, is due in no stnall degree to the assistance which the Government has given the dairy astooiatioeis, the publication of in- formation oourerniug improved methods of dairying, at d the i netraotion given by the 8131713884 deity schools and the travel. ling dairies. Fruit.growing, wbioh le hemming so valuable a branch of Ontario agriculture, hos from the fist reoeived attention and aid from the Government. The Ontario Frnib.growere' Association, which is the largest in America, bas 5,000 members, and receives at annual grant of 51,800, mid three year t ago twelve experimental fruit stations were established, where ninth u0efnl work is being done, The Department has been teb great pains to give instruotio 15 in spraying fruit trees for the deebrasiion of insect pests, and during 1897, wee sspeoielly active in put. ting down the .Ban Jose soaie, one of the latest imporbatione of this kind. Poultry, be ,keeping and live stook have all experiuneed a helping band, and the latest innovation in the shape of "good roads" brenob, allows that the De. pa.rtment of Aerioulture, ander its effi. (dont head, keeps fully abreast of intel- ligeni public' opinion.
