STOCK INSURANCE.—As this place with now becoisaing a; place of importance with
respect £b' the importing;, buyin g, and. sell-
ing, and shipping stock, we. think a stock
insurance companyor association should:,
be'forined, as many importers and: dealers
• are'scarcely able to carry the risks on
theiranimals; and quite able, and willing
to pay good premium to a company that
was financiallyable and. well guaranteea.
.Those interested should make a move in
**matter. 'We will be pleased to an-
ce -a meeting for the formation of
a society, at any time.

IN `ANOTHEn column will be seen the
the advertisement of Mr. Rehull, seed maxi
of Seaforth,.who offers some splendid va-
rieties of wheat and oats for spring sow-
ing. We have examined the samples and
can say the' oats are very good, and the
wheat is •superior to anything of the kind
brought into the county. Our farming
friends should secure some of each kind'
.and it pays best to have the best seed. At

ance to its credit, which• was adopted by

the lite sale and its effects in bringing
thoroughbred stock before the 'notice of
the farming community, and the sales'
effected throuh it; it:was decided to con-
tinue them, but would not hold a sale

somewhat scarce, and there would not be
sufficient to makeit,an• object to have•one.

' BRoonING , M ui s.: --`In : conversation
with one of the best horse breeders pfthis
county, a few days since; he deplored the
fact that se many of the very best brood-
ing mares of the county were being ship-
ped to the United States, and while ad-;
mitting ;that the high prices paid for•them
were hard to refuse, still, . he 'thought it
would be better it they could be retained
in the .county for a couple. of years, at
least. The very best of the stock was be-
ing called out, he went on to«say, and al-
though' more would be bred; still it' would
take some time before 'their equals could
be raised. •, This is doubtless true, and
there is. .only one 'lesson which . farmers-
should learn from it; and that is to retain
their. best mares and breed nothing bat
first-class animals, so that, there may not.
in the future be any scarcity' of good stock.
There will always be a :demand for this•
class of animals, and while good oues'will
command the very highest' prices, poor
ones will not' be wanted even for export, at
nominal prices, and the farmer who is sa-
tisfied with what may be°described as a
" scrub," because it is • cheap, when Ifo
coulddo se much better with very -little
additional odtlayo, is not worthyof belong-:
ing to, this bit`orient class in, the com-
munity.: ,..
