NOT MEN FARMERS AND RECIPROCITY The dxbate on reciprocity still drags its weary length along and possibly appears to be no nearer the end than it was two weeks ago. \'et it is nearing I he end, and that end is its adoption. There is no doubt whatever that a great deal of non- sense has been indulged in by the oppon- ents of the me-usure The people are fairly well divided into two classes nn the question â€" those in favor of, embracing the large agricultural interests, and thc.se op- po.scd to, embracing the manufacturers, packers and provision meichants, with their fi lends the business men of the cit- ies. It is raid on good authority that one Toronto packing house paid a dividend last year of 51 per cent! The share- holders of that concern cannot be blamed for fighting reciprocity, which would probably cut their dividends to 8 or 10 per cent , leaving the other 40 per cent, with the producer. Nor can ihe pro- ducer be blamed for going after that 40 per cent. Any person v.ho ha.s done business wiih these packing houses will tell the sairc story of docked weight and insuHicient returns. If reciprocity will strike a blow at such barnacles as these, which restrict trade and di.scourage the fanner in his home market, we .say the sooner it cmiei the belter. The keen campaign is being |jaifl for liandsonielv in culd cash by some cue, and it is .safe to i-ay that the Uoiiiin- imi (iinnge or other Farmers' Clubs liav.i no hand in the oiillay. Il i> done by someone who stand.s to l"Se by the pas- sing of this treaty. It is an effort to per- suade the farmer (bit be d'les not know what he i« talking about or what he wants. It is a hypocritical tear .shedding cam- paign over the woes lo bo of the po-jr far- mer. The fanner" to-day is not in the same blissful ikiiioiant category that he was in bvfoie the d.iys of the (irange, the Institute and Farmers' Clubs. He has learned to think and know for himself, and specious argument docs not go down with hiin now where touiid horse seiise should be involved. Ho is studying nloii^ ills own linos and does not s'and in need of the assistance of packers or linuiiciers in formulatirg his opinions. .-\s The Advtmco has said before, we would like to see reciprocity receive a fair trnil. We favor the greatest good to the greatest number, and Iwlievo that rcci- prociiy will jirovo in(<re beneticial than harniful. It will doubtless bit some of :he induHtrie'i piett} hard, but lliey can learn to take (as Mr. Drmy, president of the Dominion Grange, said in a recent speech, when asked h'>w our lackers' could compete with the .\inerctn pack- ing houses) "a profit of »e\en or eight or ten per cent. Instead of tifty-oiie per cent. " SEASONABLE GOODS IN FURN I TUBE The largest ami best stock of Furniture ever shown in Flosherton.

Or, Hamilton's Pills Stimulate Liver and Kidneys SIGNS OF SPRING After a long, hard winter, the pa-t week has given us a foretaste of spiiiig, with bright sunshine and warm atmos- phuro. A Urge ipiantity of the snow has gone and the roads are getting bare. In the Kimberley valley no snow is loft on the roads. Hohins are with us, and on Saturday evening an extensive and se- vere electric storm passed over. Not much lain fell, however. VVe also notice that the farmer ai:d the woodpecker are tapping. All these things go to prove that nature is about to awaken unre more after its five months' siio"ze. Let the automobiles, frogs, bugs, flies and mos- quitoK come. VVe can stand them all with e(|uaiiinilty this year. When they become tioublesoinc we will simply recall what the wood pile cost duiing the past winter, and that will satisfy. Tall says the reciprocity agrecmeut will pass. Well, nobody expected liiin Id aay it woiiUlu't. Are tlio rolioc Trustees aware of tlie fact that a street light was on the pule burned down at the square last year, and that it has not btcn re- placed. The feeble brilliancy of the the lights which remain makes the need for additional light painfully ap- parent. Surely there is no call for such rigid economy as the cutting oft" of one alleged light â€" or are we paying for the light and not getting it ? Mr. lIulThas been censured by the Mcaford town council for supporting Klesherton's claims for tiii! now Ag ricullurul Department. Any blame which may be attached to him fot fol- lowing the dictates of his unbiased good judgment is manifestly unfair iind unjust. Over half of the County Council and many other influcutial bodies and organizations arc otie with him in favoring this as being the best strategic point for such an ii:stitatiou in Grey county. They combine and form the strongest argument for the consideration of Hon. Mr. Lucas, whoie recommendation is necessary. To School Teachers and Trustees The attention of teacheis and trustees who may be desirous of introducing some measure of agricultural teachins; into the w-irk of their schools or of improving their school surroundings by planting trees, shrubs or vines, is called to the Work of the Schools Division of the Ex- periinental Union, one of the extension branches of the Ontario Fanners' Tech- nical College, viz., the Ontario .Agricul- tural College. This organization was started two years ago for the purpose of bringing the schools of the province into clcser con- nection with the college. The work Ls now past the experimental stage. In 1W9 there were 117 schools co-operating in the work and last year 237 schools. It 18 expected that this year there will be a much larger number of schools taking up the work. Interest in industrial or voca- tional education i.« growing, and with our Government taking legislative steps to 8up{H>rt this line of work, it should not be long before practically every school in Ontaiio has modified its woik in the di- rection of giving the boys and girls some practical instruction in (hose things that concern every-day life. The introduc- tion of Agriculture into the curriculum of the public schools has beou tried teveiil *inies. The plans offered by the Schools Division may be found to help in the so- lution of this problem. For Ihb) year the Schools Division is arranging to send out seed packets for children's gardening, sted grain for small expeninental plo s, shrubs, viaes and tulip bulbs for school ground improve- ment ; tree seeds and agricultural seeds are al<o included in its distribution. To schoo's undertaking to frame it and give it a place on the walls, a picture of the Agricultural College is sent free also. For some of these things uo charge is made, provided tht material is used strictly for educatiinal purposes ; for most of the inatniial, however, a charge is made as it is ajt possible nor consid- ered luULsable to undertaku a free dis'ri- bution of valuable material. In all phases of the work teachers and pupils ,'iro provided wiih instruction sheets, booklets or charts ; they are not left al'ine in the work, but have the ex- perience and cooperation i.f others who are doing the sanio kind »f work else- where. Any teachers or trustees interested in ihe work may secure inforinatiuu regard- ing it by addresaini; as below : S. B. McUKADY, Direc. Schools Div. Exp. riiion, O. A. College, Guelph, t>nt.

Death of Mrs. C. F. Bush There died near Angus, Out., on Fri- day, Mar. 1<:, l'.)ll, a loving wife and mother iu the |e sou of Mrs. Charles H. Bush. Born of Irish parentage, she spent her uiilhood days in the village of Fevoisliani, and from there removed to the town of CoUingwood in the year 1874, where she was married to htr now sor- rowine husliaiid in the year 1880. Of ill's union theie was born two sons and one daughter, all of whom survive her, beiag Neil and Charles at home, and Myrtle (Mrs. Wilbur Lykoof New York). The funeral service was conducted in the Methodist church, Angus, where 10 a largo and sympathetic audience the Rev. r. Peacock preached an exoelleiu and appropriate sermon from the Isl vcise of the 5lh chapter of 'Jnd LVrinthians. "For we know llist if our taithly house of this tabernacle were dissolved we have a building of (iod, an hou.sc lu t made with hand', ettrnal in the heavens." .Mllunigh Mrs. Hush did nut make any gieat dein- oostiation or show of religion, still she had a firm and steadfast faith iuUod and jdiid as she lived, trusting in Chii.st. i Besides her husband and children Mrs lUish leaves behind her to niouiii her : loss four bii.lliers nnd four tisleis, viz., ! William of British Columbia, tJeorge of Califoi-uiii, ThowaH and Henry of Allwt'a Caroline of Saskatchewan, Rachel of Midland, Ont., and Sarah (>f Culliog- wood. Out. The friends from a distance who attended ihe funeral were : Hr. and Mrs. Alex. J. Cnnron, Fevershtm, Ont., Mr and Mrs. Wilbur Lyke of Ne* York, Mrs. Gidley, Mrs. Miller and daughter Pearl of CoUingwood. Victoria G)raers Messrs. .lame* Lockhart and George Beat spent a few days in Toronto last weeli. Hiss Mclnnia is visiting with her cousin, Mr. J^kck Corbett. Mr. Whitten and Miss Hill of Mark- dale and Miss V. Corbett of Bethel are visiting at .lames Lockhart'a. A Urge number of the friends snd neighbors congregated at the home of Mr. H. Galaiiher on Wednesday evening to bid farewell to Mr. and Mrs. Gallagher who intend removing to Hamilton so}n. During the evening Mr. Gallagher was presented with a writing desk and Mrs. Gallagher with a clock. The date of the presentation patty was most suitably ar- ranged, it being the anniversary of the day they inovrd into this part of the country. A very successful meeting was held in the fnittioge church on Tuesday eveninir, Match 7, when Rev. Mr. Younu gave an instructive le>:ture, iifier which a collec- tion was taken and a sutjarripliou li.st circulated in behalf of the missionary work of our church, which has been much neglected duiing the absence of a regular minister. We aie pleased to say that ihiie present responded nobly to the call. Where are you going Jones? Why to the Town Hall to hear those male quartettes.

Fronn The Canadian Century. When it was first made known tkat the Reciprtx'ity compact not ouly gave .Amer- ican farmers free entrance to Canadian markets and extended the same privileges to the Cnitrd Kingdom lud the British colonies, but also opened the door wide to the Argentine Republic, .\ustria-Hun- gsry, Russia, Spain, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Switzerland, Japan, Bolivia, Columbia and Venezuela, Canadians in general thought there must be some mis- take. They could not believe that with- out getting any coiicession.s whatever from any country except the I'nited States, our government would admit farm products from all those countries into Canada to compete freely with Cana- dirn farm products. The wording of the Reciprocity agreement was very plain ; there seemed to be no doubt about its meaning ; and yet it was such an extni- ordiiiary arranijement, si unfair to Can- adian f irmeis, and so likely to lead to disputes wi'h the American customs of- ficials. tUat many iwople believed that the Government w.iuld give soma expla- naiion slicwing that the agreement had tieeii wroiiRly interpreted. However, there is no loo«er any such h<ipe. Mr. Robert L. Borden questioned Hon Mr. Fielding on this pooint aiid Mr. Fielding admiited that the Reciprocity agreement meant exactly what it appeared to mean and that Canada would uet nothing what- ever iu return from any of the twelve foreign nations or the British countries that share aith the I'nited States the privilege of sending their farm products « freely into the Canadian market. If the Reciprocity compact simply pro- vided for free trade iu farm products be- tween Canada and the United States there might reasonably be difference of opinion as to whether it would be advan- tageeus to Canadian fanners or not. We think that even such an arrangement would have been a bad bargain tor Cana- dian farmers, because the surplus of farm products in the I'nited States is enor- . mously greater than the surplus of Cana- dian farm products, because the farming season ii eailier and longer than in the United States, and because our farmers would always bo at the mercy of the tariff legislation of the United States Cou- eress, while they would have no voice in the election of Congress, but still there would be room for aryument as to whe- ther our farmers would gain enough by the admission of their products ti> United States marke's to compensate them for loss ill the homo market ; but from the farmers' point of view nothing can be in favor of allowing twelve foreign na- tions and thd food-exporting Brib« ish colonies to send their farm pro- ducts freely into Canada without giving our farmers anything tocompensittethem for this unexpected competition in the Canadian homo market.
