Farming as a Business. -Improving the Farm Home. "s'e are moving out of the old condi tit) e, said Prof. 0. 0. James, Ontario's Dt 1• ity-Minister of Agriculture, at the MarrF,ime Winter Fair. When our set- tler- 'fret came to Canada they faced the prier val forest, and during all the clear- ing t taold agriculture held sway. With a no Ar generation, conditions began to change; live stook Dame in, large barns were built, butter and cheese began to bo made, and we gradually changed all our methods. This building. and the ex- hibits it contains are proof that we are trying to keep up with the demands of the times and to compete with other countries by following the New Agricul. ture. The New Agriculture must he con- ducted upon business principles. In old times it did not seem so necessary to pursue these business methods; in fact, with the surrnuudintrs then existent, there was no chance to do so. In our towns and cities the merchant and the manufacturer has also had to change his methods of banuess. The farmer is just as mach a manufacturer as the man in town who makes boots, clothe) and hard- ware. The manufacturer in town finds it necessary to make the kind of goods that the consumer demands. It is also one of the conditions to -day that the farmer should produce what his custom- ers want. We must consider what our district is best capable of producing, and work along that line. Grow the crops and keep the live stook that thrive beat where we live. The manufacturer must produce econ- omioaIly. Our best saw mills, for in- stance, are now run with practically no waste of materials; even the dust is used. Oue of the best examples of econ- omical manufacturing is seen iu the great stock yards of Chicago, where ab- solutely every part of an animal is tune ed into marketable product. So the farmer must endeavor to convert to a prufitahle use all his products. He should see to it that there is no waste land under weeds, under fences, or in careless cultivation. The farmer has, perhaps, in his operations greater pro• blems to meet than any other manufac- turer, if he would avoid unnecessary waste. The New Agriculture must be conduct- ed upon scienttfic principles. There should not to -day be any objection to book -learning, for the intelligent man can from agrioultural papers and hooks get the valuable experience of other men who have done the work he is trying to do. Our people are wisely beginning to lay aside their prejudice against books, and to try to get the best information from every available source. Scientific men have been and are studying and finding out truths about plant growth, the constituents of oar soils, the breed- ing of animals, the growing of fruit, etc., and it will pay ns to learn what these men have found ont. The farm work of the future will be a great deal more enjoyable. In Ontario the farmers are very seldom referred to as "old hayseeds." The intelligent man who watches closely all the results of his work is interested and takes a pleasure iu it. The world has lately found out that the farmer can be bene- fitted by an education applicable to his business. A few years ago iu Ontario we firat found out that the farmer had a wife, and we are doing what we can for the betteruleut of the woman on the farm. Constant Dread of Paralysis Left arm got numb -Doctors said nervous exhaustion - Remarkable cure by Dr. Obase's Nerve Food. Nem ,Ctt&s. S. Cxxvitti, North Gower, Ont., writes: "I do not hesitate to recommend Dr. , Chase's Nerve Food and would not begrudge fifty dollars for the goal it has done me. FA. six years I suffered with severe pains in my right shoulder and numb- ness in my left arch. No tongue can tell what I suff- ered. The doctors said the - trouble was from the netves but their medicines proved of no avail so I resolved to give Dr. Chase's Nene Food a trial.

We are trying to relieve the farmer's wife of all the drudgery poss. ible by our system of women's institutes and dow.eetia science teaching. We have also found out that there are children ou the farm, and we are inaugurating a movement to try to provide the right kind of education for these children, The home is where our agriculture starts and is nurtured, The reforma- tion of the agrioultural home is the start after all of oar New Agriculture' Establish a farmer with an inclination to knowledge, a wife who knows how to make the most of her opportunities, and children getting a rational education, and I care not how poor that farm is, it will succeed. With those conditions, we shall hear no more about the "old hayseed," but we shall see the farmer walking the streets of our towns es well dressed as anyone, and respected as one of the best oitizens of Canada. Yours very truly, W. A. CLEMONS, Publicattou Clerk. , WHAT'S IN A NAME. Toronto Star. What's in a name? Would a town under any other name get along any better? The citizens of Ret Portage think it would, when the name bears the oder of the wilderness as does Rat Portage. Iu 1902 they got permission from the Legislature to change the name, but they did Lot know what they wanted to call themselses then. When they de- cided, all they had to dow as to submit it to the Lieuteuauc G.lveruor in Coun- cil. The other day the town council de- cided by by-law that they should be called Keuora. The name has a great virtue. It is absolutely original. There ueyer was such a word before. It was manu- factured on the spot. Ke -stands for Keewatin. No -stands for Normae. Ra -stands for Rat Portage. "Kenora" is prophetic. It predicts that some day the towns of Rat Portage, Norman and Keewatin will be one, and they will be a great city. To -day the matter came before Hon. G. P. Graham, Provincial Secretary, being represented by Mr. N. W. Pow- ell, representiug the town council. It was stated that the name of Rat Portage had such a backwoods sound that the town's credit was being hurt in many ways. Difficulty was found in selling town's debentures even, simply because men who did not know any better, thought Portage, a Rat Portage at that, could not be much of a place. There is, however, opposition by some citizens' who do not take kindly to the new fangled word Kenora. They think a better name could be found. THE WORST KIND. After Piles have existed for a long time and passed through different stages, the suffering is iuteuse-pain, aching, throbbing, tumors form; filled to burst- ing; with clack blood. aymptons indicating other troubles may appear to a thoroughly Pile -sick person. This id when Dr. Leonhardt's Hem - Enid, the only absolute Pile cure, brings, the results that has made its frame. It will cure the most stubborn case in existence and a bonded guarantee to that effect goes with each package. It is to be had for $1.00 at the drug store, or from The Wilson -Fyfe Com- pany, Limited, Niagara Falls, Ont. WANTED -A FARMER. Of all labor markets, says a writer in Leslie's Magazine, farms are the least overstocked. Thus for years I have sought a "hired man" for my modest, up-to-date establishment. Finally, in a moment of desperation. I advertised: "Wanted -On a small farm, a man, married, between 20 and 30; hours, 8 to 5 in summer, 8 to 4 in winter; employer does his own milking and takes care of horses; trolley passes door; rural deliv- ery; telephone to village; long-distance telephoue to Now York; excellent liter- ary and progressive euchre facilities; hired man's club; use of tennis grounds; golf privileges; superior table; French cooking; billiard and pool table in oar- riage house; Wednesday and Saturday afternoons off May, 1 to October 15; checkers, dominoes; $35 a month; safe deposit box; use of automobile on Sun- day; no objection to children; references exchanged. Address, Farmer." People of all trades and professions -except farmers -'were evidently iu. spired by my notice with a great yearn- ing for the soil. A medtcaI student an- nounced his willingness to drop his books for the position. Newspaper men and "magazine writers" were only too ready to accept my $35 a month job. Professional linguists, including a "Chinese interpreter," Offered their ser- vices. A eonlptor, the assistant of one of our leading artists, came forward. Bookkeepers, head waiters, actors, elec. triennia, government employees, riding masters, collectors, Baltimore Are Vic. Bente, Beet war veterans, stranded for• eigners-.I had my pick of ell professions and trades, except the one for Which I, bad advertised. Out of a hundred re. plies only four were to the point, and one of them got the job. THE Reply to Request re. Joint Meetings. In fairness to Mr. Holmes, Mr. Cann erten has asked ue to publish the follow- ing letter: -- Wingham, Oat., Dec. 29, 1904. Dear Sir; -Yours ter Mr. Dudley Holmes referring; to joint meetings av rived iu due time, avid received his• at- tention. It was handed over to his Advisory committee, and Mr. Holmes supposed the secretary had replied to it. He has howev'r discovered it was not answered for which he is very sorry. In his absence, I may say, that the committee decided that as this was Mr. Holmes' first campaign, and as he was not so well acquainted in the riding as you are, and desiring first of all to per- fect hid organization it would not be possible to arreuge for jaiut meetings at present.. As to outside speakers, that will de. pend upon the number ot local speakers available. I have not your letter to Mr. Holmes before me, hence there may be other points to note, but so far as I recol- lect, these are all you referred to. As to personal matters, Mr. Holmes agrees with you that these should very properly be left out of the eampaigu, Yours respeotrnlly, THEO. HALL. Member of Advisory Oom. M. G. Cameron, Esq., Godericb, Ont. Pointed Paragraphs. (From the Chicago News.) Never judge a joke by the way wo- men laugh at it. Some dootord who take life easy escape arrest. No man is a hopeless fool who can keep hie lguorauce concealed. Woman is not only the fairest crea- ture ou earth, but alto the uatatrest. Blessed in the bald-headed mau; he never gets his hair out oa a aatarday Light. You can't convince a woman that a man id orazy as long as tie admirer, tier. No man ever got married for the sole purpose of acquiring a mother-in-law. More men would attend church'. if they were compelled to dodge in at a side door. A young man considers it a lucky fall when he falls iu love -bac you eau's always tell. Be careful what you do here and don't worry about wuat will be done with you hereaf ter. A Few Crisp Sayings. Cheer up and bustle. Mighty few things as bad as they look. If it required no brains, no nerve, no energy, no work, their would be no glory in achievement. Difficulties are the best stimulant, Trouble is a tonic. Mistakes will be made in every busi. nese, but the greatest mistake of all is to worry about them. What everbody can do nobody wants to do. It's the trouble that never comes that _causes loss of sleep. Making a front in all right, but"mak- ing good" is what counts at the finish. Some boys work harder to get out of work than its actual doing would entail. The bluffer is at a discount when it comes to a show -down. Contentment never aocompliehes any- thing great. A second is longer than yon think it is, and quite a number of things can be done in a minute, if you keep moving. Main strength doesn't always Lift the load. Knack does as much as muscle.

Ro,ss became Premier of Ontario jn 1899, among other lzleasures in Connection with the development of New Ontario het created the Bureau of Colonization to direct land -seekers and in other ways to facilitate settlement in the xtew districts. Since, thousands of settlers have purchased or located farms in New Ontario through. personal advice giv- en them through this bureau. I>a four years nearly all the farms is Temiskaming and Rainy River Val- ley have been sold to settlers, while many other settlers have located in southern Nipissing, Algoma, Thuh- der Bay and Wabigoon districts. The movement of farm hands and renters to Now Ontario and the west created a shortage of help on the farms of old Ontario, and steps were at once taken to relieve the situation by an increased immigra- tion from the mother country, The number of immigrants arriving is Ontario in 1900 was a trifle over 3,- 000. The immigration to Ontario from Great Britain for eleven months of 1904 exceeded 23,000, These im- migrants were not dumped here and allowed to shift for themselves be tho larger cities, but during the past two seasons over 12,000 of them were supplied with railway tickets and sent to farmers who had applied for help to the Government Farre Labor Bureau. Many of these will go to New Ontario when they become better acquainted with Ontario me- thods of farming, but in the mean- time they supply the help our farm- ers need, and which is delivered at their doors by the Government fres of any cost to them. The following personal letter, which the Premier forwarded to Mr,, H. E. Kyle, indicates his interest in• this special work of no in Mr. Kyl,' is the special agent of the Government to help meet the de- mands for fauna labor in the Pro- vince: Toronto, March 25th, 1903. (Personal.) My Dear Mr. Kyle, -I was so busy when I arranged to send you to Ehgi^ land that I was unable to give you full instructions as to what I ex- pected you to do on arriving there. although from a conversation I had with you bofore you left I have n& doubt you understood what is ex- pected of you very well. (1) Let me say that you are to devote your attention entirely to the encouragement of farm laborers, do- mestic servants and such other people as are likely to make settlers on the agricultural lands of the Pro- vince. (2) You might inform such people as you think would be disposed to come- to Canada of our large beat root industry, employing certain. labor of women and children and perhaps men of over middle -age who are not physically able to do hard work, that they could find employ- ment during the summer season for a couple of months more or less. (3) Kindly remember that you have no commission to encourage the ar- tisan classes to come to Ontario„ as the Government has fully decided that the demands for skilled labor shall be left entirely to the varicus industries requiring such labor, and consider that you have no authority either from the Government or from any employer of skilled labor to in- vite or encourage that particular) class to come to the Province. Ot course you are at liberty to speak of Ontario generally and of its pros- perous condition as a suitable home for good citizens of any class, with- out holding out inducements, how- ever, to the artisan classes, either as to wages or employment.

Every policy we have sat up along the great, long, tedious. and, shall I say, strenuous journey: stands to -day erect as when planted by the hands of the leaders of the great Liberal party, and should Pro- vidence spare 118 and perrnit us to retain power I hope we shall still bo able to guide the' future Liberals oft this country by monuments equally useful, equally attractive, equaIlylg valuable in , the development of that great Province.
