The Torrens Land system has been
brought into force in Manitoba, and
no doubt will be adopted by ail the
provinces. In Australia it has already
been in successful operation for some
time. It is a system by which Gov-
ernment tabes the responsibility of
examining and certifying titles. Once
a property comes ander its provisions
there is no further peril to the posses-
sor through flaws of title, and con
voyanoiug becomes simplicity itself.
Property does not come under this
system except on the demand of the
owner, but itis hardly likely that any-
one
nyono will buy land hereafter without
a Government title.
A well-known Canadian cattle ex-
porter lies some advice to give farm-
ers, which seems so reasonable that it
should demand their thoughtful
consideration. He said it would pay
feeders to begin feeding later 10 the
fell and to hold ou to their animals
till about this time of the year iu•
stead of selling them in the winter or
early spring, because now there are
less risks in shipping, less delays in
transport, and lower rates of freight
and insurance. For those reasons
exporters would bo in a position to
pay batter prices if they could only
get the cattle now, than they were
early in the season. The same gen-
timeline thinks that, although the
prices paid this year wore not so high
as formerly, they compare favorably
enough with any previous year, in
view of the lower prices of grain and
other food this season, The pros-
pects for next year, he says, are good,
as shippers Lava made a little money
thea year and will therefore be °noeur-
aged to eontinuo in the trade.
