Lndsay Post1 Say$: An insight inta conditions now pra- vailing ini portions of China is given by, Miss Marion Coon, formarly a teaciier in Cambridge street' Publie School,, Ottawa, and daughter of thi. late' Rev. C. H. Coon, cf Lindsay, President of Bay of Quinte Confer- anc.. Miss Coon who is now in that country as a missionary, in a latter ta a friand in Ottawa,,states tiiat she is in the city of Chungking, province of Szeciiwan, the commercial ce ntre of Southwest China. She describes the country as having no money, in a constant state of civil wnr, and over- run witii robbers. 'Tii. Chines. Gov- animent, however, welcomes an'd pro- vides protection for foraigners. Brit- isiers are especially welcomaed and hold ail the. responsible positions la tii. administration of civil affairs.

Dryden, Brooklin, Writes1 oa" Hired Men and Live St ck on Mr. W. A. Dryden, Maple Shade1 Farmn, near Bro(-lin, Ontario County, recently wrote a latter to Rav. Rab- art Simpson, the. former minister of Brooklin and Columbhus Presbyterian Churchas, raferring to a discussion on some pertinent rural problçms, and1 Rev. Mr. Simpson, who is now located in Stirling, handed Mr. Dryden' let-1 ter ta Editor, James Currie of The Stirling News-Argusfor publication~. The ltter is good common sense and we want Durham county farmers to « benefit by the advice Mr. Dryden giv- es. The News-Argus says: " ýMr. W. A. Dryden lsaone of the most successful farmers of the Pro- vince of Ontario, having a f aiof 400, acres near the village of Brook- lin, Ontario ý County." 'He is also son of the. late Hon. John Dryden, Miniser of Agriculture for this Province, and one ýof the, best Ministers any province ever had. Mr. Dryden'a Letter After an introductory paragraph Mr. Dryden writes: Dear Mr. Simpson- There was ane point, which you mention and which is so at the very foundation of the. Ontario fiariners' success that 1 want ta speak of it, Yen refer ta the insecurity of the hired man, that hie is often engaged for a short pariod during the' year and is then required ta shift off in search af other emplaymient. This suggests that the fariner bas flot as much ta do ia the winter as in the summer and ta this very point we can lay the blama for the lack of success of many mea on Ontario farmse today. A factory wonld have ta earn huge percentages if it oniy operated six or aigiit months of the yaar, but still there are farmars who persist in re- ducing their labors about the middle of November to tihe point where the. wif e can do most of the "chores" which includes the milking, feeding of the calves and hogs and the man wiil spend the most of his time Warmn- ing his suans by the kitchen stove, aven watching his better haîf fill the. wood-box. These conditions are passing in most of the better dist- ricts. In most of the. rural districts in the. Province of Quabec it is the cus- tom ta farm on the half yearly plan, and this practise is also followad very largely in the Maritime Provinces. It is very rare ta find a farmar who pr.- tends ta milk uis cows during the win- ter months. They try ta have them freshen at the caming of tha new grass and succeed in drying thein up when they are brought in for the winter. Thus they sali what littie grainthey grow and liv. stock sub- sists on the. refuse. Their cattle vary often become so thia in condi- tion tint it is necassary ta randar iassistance in order fa rthem ta risa ini 1the stail whara they. ara, confined. This is of course, an example but a very common ane in the districts which 1 mention and cases are not an- tirely nnknown in this Province. The ambition of farmers in this gcounry should be ta own a large pile rof barn yard manura and it shonld rbe a fresh pile evary year. This -wonld provide labar with a staady job. -It would meaa tint fead shauld ha grown and that it, should ba fed ta t live stock on the farm during the win- 1ter montis.. Tii. limit of farm op- arations should not only ho measurec by the number of liva sock which can ha wintered in condition as near to summer as it is possible, that is sa fat eas feed is concerned. a This sort of farming systeu wili s bring permanent success and naohe swill.
