JUNE 16th, 1904 “A chief cause of this change is, of course, the recent good crops ; But there is another reason. ‘ It is the increased albzility of the farmer to guagc the market and its needs and to meet those needs at the critical moment. I am satisfied that no clam of people in' Canada are better in- formed on the financial side of their business, or: am more expent in m gling with its eccentricities than are the farmers. I! have of late been surâ€" prised at the sagacity, foresight and confidence with which they tackle the markets. Many farmers take daiiy papers and practically-all take pap- ers with excelleht market trep 3. [These they read with great intel i- }gence and cane. Their study is not §confincd to bare quotations or figur- ' “Farm‘e‘rs have made a good deal of money in the last few years, and have excellent prospects for contin- uing to do so. . We have lots of farmers put their grain into our storehouses and say ‘Now I’ m not in any hurry to sell this , I don't need the money and can wait for the best price.’ It used to be different. The farmer used to come in with his stuff and though the prices were law he would say ‘I can ’1; help it; ' I must sell now. for I need the money.’ “All the indications point to an- other great crop ' in this diatri ," said Mr. Jos. Ayres to the Watch- man-Warden this, week. "The recent heavy rains need cause no alarm. They have been promptly absorbbd by the earth and will form a reserve supply of water that will work won- ders in the hot season coming. The early spring mas dry, and the ground needed the water that fell recently. You may have noticed the rapidity with which the roads dried. That was an indication of what the’ fields did.

An Attempt to Make That Diet Popular did not Sumed ' In the last article in the Ofigllia. Packet on “Early Days in Muskoka" the writer tells of a doctor' 5 attempt to get the settlers to eat frog legs. He says . - Shortly after he was es- tablished he attempted to introduce a daring innovation by suggesting that, animal food being scarce with some of the settlers, they should utâ€" ilize frogs for a meat diet, they be-1 ing plentiful and wholesome, but his suggestion met with little favor, ‘the prejudice against frogs for food ‘being very strong.
