Setting aside for the moment the slan- dering of Canadian national spirit by these faint hearts, what remedy do they offer to save Canada from “ national sui- cide ”? Not one of the journalists who tell the people daily that the Govern- ment are bartering Canada’s future away in the reciprocity agreement has attempted to meet the obvious answer to all their mock heroics. The United States could tofmorrow bring about the calamity they profess to regard as inevi- table by merely throwing off the duties on wheat, lumber, cattle, dairy products and a few other things. doing so they are not satisfied that it has increased growth and promoted the general health and condition offithe stock, refund their money.

Are The News and the Montreal Star prepared to advocate a policy of non-inâ€" tercourse with the United States, or the levying of huge export duties on the principal articles placed en the U.

Shean, writing in “ Canadian Farm," says : As to what should be done for agricul- ture by the government, so many things come to view that space would not per- mit me to enumerate them, but I will just give one instance where good can be done. The average farmer is either un- der a heavy rent or laboring under a mortgage of greater or less weight, pay- ing interest thereon at from 5 to 7 per cent. A man who has a mortgage of say $5,000 to pay off has from $250 to $350 per annum to raise, besides paying hired help $200 to $300 a year, making up to $600 for help and interest that has to be met. How can a farmer be pro- gressive, keep his best breeding stock, ; live as a farmer should and thus carry 1 such a heavy burden? The government, : whether Federalor Provincial, can bor- ‘ row money at from 3 to 4 per cent. Then "why cannot the Dominion Government loan out to the people instead of letting them pay the sums in many cases double those rates. Is there something wrong with the :average farmer’s system of doing busi- ness financially? A business man Who has reached 40 years of age can, if he - has been as aggressive and progressive as he ought to be, earn from $1,000 to $1,200 per year, while a farmer at the same age even if he is throughly up-to We always carry a first-class line of the best makes, Prices right. : of his year, allow interest on his capital , invested, allow $1,000 for his labor, de- ‘ duethiring expenses and show as good a balance as he should, considering his labor. Is a farmer less entitled to the $1,000 per year than is the business man ? Does he put as much energy and as much brains into his business? I : argue that he does even more, because a farmer must be many-sidedâ€"a chem- ist, to know when the soil is up to neces- sary conditions ; a mechanic to repair his buildings and fences to prevent depre- ciation in value, and a dozen and one others, while a business or professional man is schooled in generally one calling. A reason there must be for the difference in emolument for the labor involved. There is a difference in value of ser- vices which should not be. And there is a reason which it is your duty as an agricultural paper catering to an agri- cultural people to ascertain, and if'pos- sible, to remedy. _ Sleigh-bells, Blankets; Mitts, Chains, Ties, etc, Get them at HEARD’S The attention of Mr. J.

Peterboro Examinersâ€"The exciting. game which marked the wind-up was a. climax to one of the best bouspiels in the history of the Peterboro Curling Club. The curling throughout has been. excellent, the games, as a rule were closely fought, the interest displayed was unusually keen, there was a fine re- presentation of' outside clubs and all things taken inio consideration, the com- petition must be classed as a grand suc- cess. Although none of the prizes went torthe outside clubs, some of the visiting rinks made a grand showing, and they are to be congratulated uponthe success they achieved.' That, excellent curler Skip Sykes of Oshawa, and lus men were not downed without a hard fight, getting into the semi-finals of the primary.

After consultation with those in charge , of the park the Minister decided that in g the section were the beavers were most troublesome, five hundred per year might be killed without reducing the number below the safety limit. About two hun~ dred were trapped last season after the , order went into effect, and the skins were sold by public tender. Beaver skins are reported worth from $8 to $12 each, according to quality. _ About a year ago Mr. Thomas Southâ€" worth, during his term as president of the Canadian Forestry Association, pub~ liciy advocated making Algonquin Park a ‘ fur farm,’ and he estimated that witlts out injury to the Park as a game refuge furs to the value of $40,000 per year might be taken, which would go to defray the up keep of the Park. A good many people who, unlikeMr.Southworth, had not had ten years’ experience in forest- ry) thought his ideas were impracticable but events proved that the oilicers of the Provincial Crown Lands Department. were thinking in the same direction, and the order of Mr. Cochrane and the sale of furs shows that they have put the of the test. V Don‘t forget the library sale, Monday evening. Mr. W. 'l‘. Robson has won a Melotte Cream Separator as a prize for selling a larger number of these separators than any agent in the district in the past year.
