This is the Advice Gwen by Mr. John Campbell, the Veteran and Success- ful Farmer and Stock Raiser of Woodville. To the Editor of the W'atchman. SIR,â€" Today, May 20th, I shipped a car of pedigreed Shropshire rams to Van- Couver. B.C., firm. who have a ranch near Calgary. My reason for writing is to once more endeavor to draw the attention of my brother farmers to the importance of growing a better class of stock. From an experience covering twenty-five years in trying, to improve my stock and increase the returns from the farn‘. I am now more convinced than ever that in only by raising the better class of stock that we Ontario farmers can hope to earn comfortable livings on our farms. Growing grain to sell as grain is a business of the past, if successful farming is at all the aim. Iam quite certain that with the better class of stock on a farm, judiciously fed during the ‘ past six months, at least double the market prices of marse grains could readily be Tcali.‘.ctl. Would that make any difference financially, may I ask? Many years ago fibdlhg one line of stock~raising rather profitable, I often tried to persuade others in this section of country to give Shrop- shire sheep a fair trial. but as often happens, it was thought that it was self- interest led me to so talk. I therefore gave it up. But now when an order comes for a car of stock, that certainly is seCond in demand to none, I have to send to farmers at a distance to enable me toaccept the large orders. Some of the ram shipped this morning came from RAle A BETTER CLASS OF STOCK THURSDAY.

Now the point I Wish to notice is this, if those could have been got lit-‘1‘ by in this county it would just mean a dollar and a half more per head to the raiser. When gentlemen like Mr. W. C. Edwards, M.P., of Rockland, can with profit send his sheep to market at a ‘ Cost of $1.50 each, and Mr. L. Burnett, M.P. of Greenbank, team his some twenty-five miles surely those who delivered their lots in a few hours time must find it to their still greater advant- age to grow that which I venture to write is the most profitable part of all their ‘ farming operations. I do not so write to have any person suppose that Shropshire ‘ sheep are the only good kind to raise. In this large continent there is room, and to spare, for all the breeds we have, and the farmer who gives intelligent attention to any of the breeds can scarcely fail to reap a rich reward for his labor. The Americans more than ever look to Ontario to infuse new blood into their flocks, and y are very ready to admit that they prefer Canadian-bred sheep to those imperted, quality being equal. I verily believe that Ontario is destined to become more and more the place to which breeders all over this vast continent will resort for choice stock. Let us therefore be up and doing. Let us take advantage of our opportuni- ties and [hard times will soon become a thing of the past. During the last few trying years the breeders of good stock (I do not say thorcugh-breds) have had less reason to grumble and did less than the large majority who have been so thoroughly discouraged by selling grain at less than the cost of growing. Never have prospects been brighter for a general increase in values of good stock than at present. and the wide-awake farmer who has been building up his flocks and herds during the dull times of late years is even ‘now profiting handsomely by his fore- Hatters and Furriers.

On a Modern Cattle Ship. The staterooms on these big boats are amidship and have ample accommoda- tions for 60 passengers. From the com- mencement the experience was delight- ful. It was almost impossible to be- lieve. as tar as the motion of the vessel was concerned. that we were on the ocean. For instance, the rims on the tables to catch overflowing coffee or to stop the antics 0t fruits and foods were missing. There was no need'for them. The' explanation of the remarkable steadiness was in the fact that the ship had bilge keelsâ€"two extra keels, like fins, running along the sides and pre- venting that rolling which is the .de- spair of weak stomachs. This improve- ment represents the latest development in steady transportation for animals, and it the 800 quadrupeds we had on board appreciated it as much as the 60 bipeds who gloried in the smoothness and the comfort of it all they lived 11 or the happiest days of their lives. Other ships, still larger than this, are now building. The trip to London takes 11 days. and on thefifth day out I accepted the cap- tain's invitation to accompany him on his morning inspection. “although. for 'that matter." he added, “you may visit any part of the ship at any time You choose.” Directly agter breakfast we began the Journey.
