The Program is one that highly interests the farming com munity more particularly, and the talent selected to address the mul- tude that will assemble is the best in the land; gentlemen thoroughly versed in the several specialties and themes they will handle so ably, and the important information to be given by them regarding what is best and most profitable in live stock for farmers to possess will be worth untold benefits to the farm. ing community and all should, and doubtless will, be present--the op- portunity is a grand one and the financial results to be derived from the information imparted is an adquisition oi rare value.

An Important Lecture Arranged For On the evening of Thursday next, there will be given in 'the Town Hall here, a fine lecture, illustrated with 70 lantern' views, by Mr. J. B.

A Few Oanadians Likely at Front Ottawa, Nov. 15.--No official ad- vices haveas yet been received by the Militia. Department here con firming the published rumors to the effect that a nuniber of the Canadi- an troops, including some of the Western cavalry, are already in France, and in the firing zone. It is thought probable in official circles here,: however, that some of the regulars among the regulars among the Canadian force, with perhaps a few of the artillery and 'sonie of the motor transport service, have al- ready been sent to the front.'

Our main Fleet h exposed itself a great deal ce Jo begi- ning but I don't think yf will hear much of them in the fufire until the others make a move. The loss of those three cruisers: was not so great as a good many imagine. The loss of life was the waist part. The ships themselves were obsolete and one of our new oneswouid be of more fignting value, than those three together, Prébably two ol these would have been quite sale had they not have tried to save lives from the other cne. The or- ders are, when big ships are attack by suhmarines to get out of it.

The acreage sown for 1915 represents net in- crease over that sown for 1914 of 2 pc. Last year the acreage sown was reported 7.37 p. c. less than in 1912. The bulk of the fall wheat crop is grown in Ontario, where, this year, the estimate is for 043.000 acres, as compared with 898.000 acres, the area sown in the fall of 1913. The increase under fall wheat for Ontario therefore is in the ratio of about 16 p.c. In the three Norhwest provinces, the area 80wn to fall wheat has again de- creased in continuation of 'a decline tributed to consecutive discourag- ig seasons for this crop. - Alberta, wever, is the only western prov- face where 'fall wheat is largely own, and area estimated to be wn 18 230,000 acres, compared With 262,000 - acres last year, a de- {crease of about 12 pc. In British Columbia thére is an increase from 5,500 to B,600 acres, or 10 pic.

To spite of the discourag- ing record of fatalities, the new method of travel has won a place in the practical affairs of modern civil ization. What the future will de- velop it would be bold to predict, but it is probable that inventive genius will improve on present me- thods, practices, and appliances, making for both safety and effici- ency. ! i TN TAT present every established Government 'must have aeroplanes for purposes of defence. ~ It may soon be equally necessary for every j important industry and business to have them for purposes of competi: tion. The carrying of the mail and express matter may call them into requisition, Some day ability to manage an aeroplang may be as common as ability to manage an automobile or ride a horse or bi- cycle, Lut that is a far glance for- ward. We may have ' competition among acroplane manufacturers, advertisers, and exhibitors as well : strange that - so 'with means, evergy, and the out- [ook of the investigator hag not organized -an active and elbeient aeroplane club or society to discuss the outlook and possibilities, build aeroplanes, employ and train aero- nauts, give exhibitions, and gener- ally promote the new "method of transportation. Such an. 'organiza- tion would find a wide field of use- fulness. It would be to the aero- plane branch of military 'service what rifle clubs are to the iafantry and cavalry. It would also guide future development along safe and practical lines, thus helping to avert accidents and deyise new means of' usefulness. Military necessities would prompt governmental aid or B participation. It would. not be wise to grow over-hopeful, for the airis a very uncertain medium. Yet the futdre may witness advan- ces as momentous as those made in traversing the oceans and contin- ents by the propelling power of steam. | Let inventors make "saf- ety first their motto, 4 4] deeply regret fo tell you that' Lord Roberts died at 8 o'clock this (Saturday) evening,' 'Lord Roberts was on a brief visit to France in order to greet the Indian troops, of which he is col- onel-in-chief. * He contracted a chill on Thursday, 'and succombed alter a short illness to an attack of pneumonia." It is stated that that there will be a funeral service in the field before the body is temoved to Folkstone, where it is expected on Monday. arrangements for the funeral here have not yet been announced, but it is naturally anticipated that the services will be at Westminster Abbey.or St. Paul's, probably St» Paul's, where those of Wellington, Nelson and many other of Great Britain's greatest naval and military men were held. It is reported, however, that the widow wishes a private funeral at the Field Mar- shal's home in Ascot, in which case a public ceremony will be abandon- ed, ' His age--he was 82 on last Sep- tember 30 -- was a contributory cause of death, although he had been in'whis usual /bealth lately, which wa§ exceptionally good for a man of his age. Since thé Gutbreak of the present war he has been working hard im- ploring young men to realize their country's danger, and to offer their services in the _ present war. For years he has been preaching the doctrine of British military unpre- parednesé, and. when he' retired from active service in 1905 he has devoted his time in attempting to arouse all Engldad to the urgent necessity "of -adopling compulsory military training and service. Sev- eral times since the end of last July he has conferred at the War Office with Lord Kitchener. Tickers TO -ALL| FARES OF THE WorLp.--~Mr. W. H.
