For Young- Farmers. A winter course in Bookâ€"keeping and Agriculture has bce n'arrangod'at the Collegiate institute, Lindsay, which should prove. interesting and useful for young men on the farm. This course will take up the most practical subjects of agriculture and book-keeping as they should be applied to farm operations. Probably not one farmer in every thou- sand could at the end of each your take stock, balance his books, and know just what had been the gain or loss for the year. Of the few farmers who perforce have to reckon at the end of the year the result of the year's operations, but very few could tell from just what source-their prollts were derived, or just where a loss occurred. One of the cry- ing needs among farmch is more system and more business-like methods in conâ€" ducting their business. Every farm is a departmental store, and of the many do- partmonts there are probably some on every fa rm which are yoilding very small. profits, or even a loss. if the farm is to be run for larger profits, those “dead” departments should be detected, and either be dropped or made to pay. At the Collegiate Mr. Roscvcar will give a special course in farm book-keep- ing, which will give to the students a thorough knowledge of all common bus- iness forms, and a training in keeping an account with each field. and each animal or “bunch” of animals on the farm. If any pupil should wish it, he can also take a course in other subjects as typewriting, arithmetic, English lit- erature, and composition, history and googra pl) y. The course in agriculture will take up animal husbandry, the breeding, feeding and management. also judging of horses, cattle, sheep and swine; Dairying, the formation and care of a dairy herd, meth- ods of handling and caring for milk, for cheese and butter production; Field hus- bandry, a study Of the soils and crops of the farm surveying for tile drains, and for mom-curing land ; Horticulture, grow- ing of fruits and vegetables ; Veterinary Science, a study ofthe common diseases of farm animals, and methods of treat- ment; Poultry, roaring of farm poultry for egg and meat production. This is a special course arranged for young men who can spend only a ftw of the winter months in school. Entrance standingis not required, and students will be admitted at any time, though it is hoped that those who can take the course will arrange to commence not later than the first of December. For information concerning the course, write to or consult Mr. l-losevcar, Mr. Reed, 01‘ Mr. Harstono. Dip-net Fishing. On the 1st inst. the Gazette published an item to tho elfect that it was illegal to fish for herrings with a dip-net with- out lirst obtaining a license from the Game and Fisheries Department. The item was copied by our Lindsay contem- porary, the Post, which, a few days ago, followed it up with this one : “A. couple of weeks ago, on the strength of an item that appeared in a Fonelon Falls or Bobcaygcon paper, the Post stated that a license fee of $l.50 would have to be paid by parties netting for fall herring. It appears that the in- formation was incorrect, and that it was given by some fisherman anxious to charge a higher pricc'for this Iisn than formerly prevailed. The Department has issued an order to impose a license." Now, the Gazette has a habit of pub- lishing only reliable news, and seldom makes a statement like the one referred to above unless it has evidence to prove the correctness of what it says. It there- fore quotes the following extract from a letter recoivcd by Mr. John Jones, local game and fishery overseer, in answer to an enquiry made by him as to whether dip-net fishing without 1). 11501153 is 10â€" gal or not : ' Toronto, October 24th, 1904. Dear Sir,â€"â€" In answer to that portion of your letter asking if it is illegal to fish with a dip-net, I beg to inform you that no resident of the Province is allowed to fish with anything except a hook and line, without first obtaining a license from this Department. There are dip- ncts issued in certain . waters in the Province, and the usual fee is $1.50 for each not... Yours truly. (S'd). E. TlNSLEY, Superintendent. I M r..J ones has been asked by a number of persons as to whether the report be- ing circulated :regarding, .the necessity of holding a license to use adi-p-net is true, and wrote to Mr. Tinsley, with the above result. The report, we understand, habit of slaughtering the herring wholeâ€" sale at Roscdale every year. Mr. Jones made no demand for license money frOm any one, having no license forms in his possession, but he warned the lishe 'men to use moderation. Something should . certainly be done to prevent the cxtcrâ€" . mination of these little fish, the exist- ence of which is apparently practically unknown to the Fisheries Department. W Address and Presentation. On the evening of Friday, the 8th inst. a large number of friends of Mr. John . - Jackson, of Fcnclon, who has recently joined the ranks of the benedicts, in- vaded his home and presented him with a handsome clock and the fello‘w’ing ad- dress :' ' To Mr. John Jackson, We, a few of your friends, wish to take this opportunity of showing in some measure the esteem in which we hold you. You have been with us at our gatherings, and have proved yourself to be the most useful member of them. Only a short time ago you took unto yourself a helpmect, and we dccidod this wash. most auspicious time to welcome her and present our regards to yourself. We would therefore ask you to accept this clock, and, as it ticks out the minutes and. hours as the years roll“, by, may you be reminded of our wish that over in- creasing health, happincss and, pros-per- ity may follow you both, and, though you grow older in years, ~may, your hearts ever remain young.

Mr. Richard Day, of Cupar, Sash, for- merly of Fenelon township, sends the Gazeetc the following amusing lc‘ttcr reâ€" ceived by the hardware store whore he is engaged, from a customer in one of the foreign settlements, just to give his _ friends in this section an idea of what a great many of the foreigners. in. the \Vcst are like, and the time they are having with the English language.

A LONG DELAYED Lnr’rnnâ€"A few days ago Constable John Jones’ daughter Dolly, about eight years old, received a letter which had been posted at Collin‘s lnlct, on the north shore of Georgian Bay, eighteen years ago, and had spent the intervening time on the way. Needless to say, the letter was not intended for the young lady who received it, but for her aunt, who, when the letter was writ«. ten, lived at the Falls," and bore tno same name as the recipient, though she , has now for many years been Mrs. Peter . Dcyman, and is at present a resident of' Guelph. The letter was written by one ., of her brothers. DISAPPOINTED.â€" On Tuesday evening about twenty residents of the Falls left on the steamer “ Kawartha " for Cobo- _ conk, to attend the fowl supper and 011"." tertainmcnt being held at that village , under the auspices of the Church of 4-. England. As the water in the vicinity of the Falls was still open, and steamch ‘ running on it every day, no trouble was ; anticipated. and everything was lovely until Ball Island, in Balsam Lake, was ‘4 reached. Here the channel was found to be frozen over with ice so thick that a passage could not be made, and an at- ‘tcn'ipt to reach indian l’oint, which is ” only three miles from Coboconk, proved ‘ equally unsuccessful, so the party was,‘ reluctantly compelled to return to the , Falls. As several of the passengers ,2, ‘worc expecting to take part in the pro. grammc at Coboconk, the blockade was i a great disappointment both to tho peo- ple on the boat and the management 94;:- entertainment.
