Barring Mexico, the entire North American continent will go to the polls within the ten clays commenc- ing October 31st. Denmark excels all countries in the quality of her dairy products and the skill with which all her dairies are equipped. London takes practically all her products and owing to their excellence they command high prices. Our dairy- men could learn a good deal from this little country. Horses of good breeds'are in great- er demand now than formerly des- pite the fact that electricity is restricting their use. The horse is indispensable on farms and in drawing loads in cities. The auto- mobiles and traction engines are too costly to take the place of one Morse. Good horses are bringing fair prices, and the scarcity of beef cattle is also sure to increase the demand for both steers and cows. Some people complain that the farmers are getting too much for their products, that meats, vege- tables, grains and flour come too high to the consumer. This, how- ever, is a shallow view to take of the matter. When the farmers are doing well, all kinds of business out the vast Dominion is being taken. By the time you receive this issue it will be generally known whether the Liberal party will have another lease of office or whether the country will be ruled by the Conservative party for 'the next term. The campaign has been :t short one covering only about four weeks, still the questions at issue have been before the electors for over a year. •The fight during the last week or so hinged itself chiefly on the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway project, and this question has been fully discussed. Still it seems strange that the party press presents the matter to -.the reading public in such opposite lights' One print says it will Cost the country a few paltry millions, the other print says it will cost the country one hundred and fifty millions, and so on, and so on. Why this misre- presentation? We predict that as the electors of the country become more educated they will look at such stuff as downright foolishness and an insult to the enlightened public. A horse book, widely advertised, has a picture of three men curing(?) a horse of shying. Securely tied, the animal has iii umbrella tied on its head ; one nian is beating a bass drum behind it and jiggling a long string of tins strung on a string, while the second man is firing a pistol, and the third waving two flags before him and swaying anoth- er string of rattling tins. Such a racket would scare a nervous horse into spasms, and whenever he heard any of these sounds there- after, he world try frantically to escape from his tormentors. Such a book is misleading and false. Now I bought a mare that was a shyer, starting at every rustling leaf, and springing sideways at a bird starting up, or a piece of paper blown by the wind. I never whipp- ed her for this, but soothed her with quiet words, even if she ran. Soon she found that I would not let anything hurt her, and she would only turn her head to look toward the suspicious sound. She has become reconciled to the sound of it bass drum, hating the jar ; but a country horse has no business where one is to pass On circus day, put your hbrses in a livery stable, or tie them on a quiet street. Kindness will break a horse of shy- ing every time ; whereas, if he flourishes, there is consequently thinks lie will be punished for it by more employment for labor and a savage jerk on the bit, or a cut people have money to spend for with the whip, he will be confirmed -what they need.

IMIr. Thos. Higgins has purchased a portion of the Fanson block, Exeter, and is having it fitted up for a'harbor shop, which he intends opening up as soon as completed. In the recent big fire in Winni- peg the 'Jackson' Mfg. Co., ,Clinton, lost 15150, the samples of their shaking up and some slight brniees. Mr, S. II. Smith 'shipped seven carloads of export cattle from Clin- ton station last week and will ship eight carloads of the same class of stook this week. Mr. Smith is one of the most extensive shippers in Huron and during the course of twelve months buys many thousand dollars worth of cattle. Fire broke out last Thursday night in the basement of Hodgens Bros.' clothing store, corner of Al- bert and Huron streets, Clinton. The fire brigade was soon on hand, and extinguished the fire before it had gained much headway, al- though considerable damage was done by smoke. Losser & Brown, whose store adjoined Hodgens Bros. will also suffer considerable loss by smoke. The fire is supposed to have originated from the furnace. George Upshall, of Usborne, met with a severe accident recently. While in the bush felling trees, he was struck by a falling limb, re- ceiving a fracture of his shoulder blade and severe scalp wounds, which required a number of stitch- es. He is progressing favorably. Twoloads of the Clinton Model students visited the Goderich Mod - elites the other evening ,and spent a few enjoyable hours. At mid- night they began the homeward j onrney which they made in rather a roundabout way so did not reach Clinton until 5 o'clock next morn- ing.

The fruit growers of the province according to a statement to be pub- lished in the November issue of { 'The Canadian Horticulturist," are touch pleased at the action of the railway commission in appointing' et special committee, including the President of the Ontario Fruit Growers' Association to visit points in the =United States to see what measures have been adopted by the railroads and fruit growers across the border for the transportation of fruit. A special effort will be made by this committee to see if a car can be found that will be suit- able for the transportation of fruit during the ,fruit season and that the railroad companies will• be able -to use at other seasons of the year for other purposes. The short sea- son for shipping fruit has been the • chief obstacle in the past to the supplying of properly fitted cars for the tiade. Thelast shot of the present cam; sign has been fired and as we go to prese,a poll of the votes through - Ontario Fruit For The West. A prominent fruit grower in the Niagara district, Mr. Robt. Thoihp- son, of St. Catherines, who has just returned from a trip through the fruit section of British Columbia, reports that though fruit growers and fruit growing is a new indus- try through British Columbia, the British Columbia growers can teach their Ontario competitors many valuable lessons, especially in the packing of apples. In this con- nection, the fruit division of the Dominion department of Agricul- ture Purposes making a special ex- hibit at the November Fruit, Flower and Honey show in Toronto of the various varieties of British Columbia fruit packed by the growers themselves. Similiarly the the other provinces of Nova Scotia and Quebec will be represented. The matter is one of importance to Ontario fruit growers us they are meeting with keen competition in the western markets from Brit- ish Columbia, and in the markets of Great Britain from the Nova Scotia fruit. An old farmer says he's "never bothered with either mice or rats because he sc.ttters sulphur about.' —puts it in the hay, in corn and on floors—uses it freely where they are apt to frequent. Mr. George Brownlee, of Exeter, was recently promoted to a district agency for the Massey -Harris Co. Mr. John McMahon has purchas- ed the farm of Mr. John Taylor, of Exeter, being part of lot 3, con, 4, Hay, and containg 50 acres. Mr. Jos. Senior, of Exeter, was presented with a handsome and costly marble clock the other even- ing, by the members of the Caven Presbyterian church of that place. Mr. G. M.

Mr. James Pickard, an, old and highly respected resident of Exeter, passed away. on Sunday, Oct. 23rd. The deceased came to Exeter from England in 1852, where he opened a general store.
