FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1004.
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. Don't begrudge in the habit.—Will Dash in Farm

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.

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.
