Mr. and Mrs. John Thomson of Peterboro were at the Falls frOm Thuraday until. Monday renewing old acquaintances. Mrs. D. McDouga‘d- of Lindsay paid a shOrt visit to her mother, Mrs. Sharpe, last week. Mr. Newson returned iaat Saturday from spendingthe'snmmer in EdmOn- too, or as it is now called, Strabhcona. Mrs. Doolime of Oriliia is the guest. of her son, MnM. Doolittle. Mrs. (Dr.) White came to the Falls on Mbnday on avisit to her father Mr. A. Ciark. sr. Mr. J. Walsh 38 back from Lhc Nortb'éest for a. week’s visit. His many friends were pleased to see him again. ' Mr. F.

S. Hughes,'M. 1)., on his departure for the. Transvaal. Mr. D. McMillan, the pcpular mail clerk on the cox-them division of the Midland railway. has been removed, and is -much missed by his many friends. The witches were out in full force on Tuesday evening. 23W The greatest attraction on our streets this weeks was a threshing machine and steam engine whith 103m- ed' about at its own sweet win. It did not, like’the famous “One Horse Shay," “frighten the preacher out of his w1ts.” but it started the milk man a have so that, for the time milk and mi'ik wagons were at a premium. The large saw mill will 50ch be a thing of the past, and it causes regret. to many to see it slowly but surély disappear to make way for the improve- ments of modern dectricity. , A lecturé will he delivered in Dick- son’s hall here by Rev. T. H. Manning, B..-\.., of Lindsay. under the auspices of LO L. No. 996 on Monday evening‘ Nov. 6th. A treat is expected, which wiEI. we feel ~sure, attract a large audience . Rev. ri. C. H. Sinclaire was induct-i ed to the pastorate of St. Andrew‘s church here on Thursday last at '3 pxz‘. The sermon was preached by Rev. Mr. Smith of Kirkfield, and addresses d9- livered by Rev. Mr. McDonald of Glenarm, Rev. Mr. lanes of Bobcay- geon and Rev. Mr. MacMillan, B.A.. of Lindsay. In the evening a fowl supper was served in the lecture room of the church by the ladies of the con- gregation.- After an ample repast speeches were delivered by Rev. J . ‘Fracer of Fenelon Falls, ReV. I. W. lMacMillan of Lindsay' and Messrs. Imery and McKejdry. Both Mr- Fraser and Mr. MacMillan delivered able addresses; Mr. Fraser is an old favorite, and Mr. MacMilIan is rflCldly winning a high reputation for himself here as a talented speaker. The chair wcs ably filled by Mr. A. Feir. The annual meeting of the Canada Tract Society was held in St. Andrew’s church on Monday evening The meeting was addressed by Rev. Dr, Dr. Mofi‘att, and those who missed hearing him (and they were many) missed a treat. The cnair was filled! by Mr. Wm. Campbell in h;s usual able manner and short addresses given by Rev. J. Fraser and Rev. B. H Leitch. It is mvch to be regretted that the attendance was so small. Since the Canadian contingent has left our shores for South Africa some hearts are sore, and some firesides lonely. But your humlrle correspond ’ ent feels deepest sympathy for those manly, willing spirits, who so earnestly _. desired to fight for the dear old flag and were unable to do' so.

W Jam ,- ) ”a“; < , _ M. mJNMu‘hnwm Issued by BRITTON Lindsayrlyr- Marriagé’ Licenses 13303., j ewgller The success of the Presbyterian Sabbath School Publications during the past year has justified the undertaking of two new illustrated papers, samples of which we have just received. . The regular issue be- gins with' 1900. and if the first two numbers nowon our table are a fair specimen the publications are sure to succeed. There has been a wide demand for them from all parts. “J ewels,” the paper for little ones, is exquisit in everyway, print, paper and illustrations. ' The same may be said of "The King’s Own,” a larger paper for older scholars, which coatinues “The Children’s Record," now completing its fourteenth year. In both "Jewels” and “The King's Own” there is a large proportion of matte from our own writers, and the aim is not only to supply good Sunday reading, but also to cultivate a strong Canadian senti- ment. \Ve wish the new ventures every ~uccess. The price certainlv should not stand in the way, 200. and 250. respectful‘y forpapers -o well got up and pubiislieu every week, is certainly not extravagant. Re". R.

A Silhjecc the Value at Which should Hold Highest Rank. Second, the way to succeed in the imprm emeht of the herd The first question to which the at- tention of the farmer is directed should be the constitution ' of his herd, and we do not hesitate to say that an incredible number of culti- vators occupy themselves very little with this question. They consider the animals necessary things. They forget. that an animal with many (pualities'gives to its product the best, and that it costs no more. to nourish a good animal than a bad one.

In almost all the country the same apathy appears, and certainly our efforts should be especially directed to persuading those interested that the inmrm'einent of'the animal is one of the first‘ conditions of a good culture. The form of the animals should he the first consideration, not o'nly because it should be beautiful to the. eyes, but because the animal with the best conformation gives the best profit. We should seek to iro- duce the. most flesh and the least bone to render the merchandise use- ful. An, animal badly constructed gives defective prices, and experience demonstrates to the contrary-â€"that when his lines are regular it is al- ways more profitable for the snllor and the butcher. “hon he urmi» ates his career and accounts are So! m1.

This is evident to those who are at. the head of progressive farming, but a long ex- perience has convinced me, with cer- tainty, that it is exceedingly dilii- cult for these mew ideas to gain ud- niittance among the agricultrrnl classes, and that it is only by 1-inâ€" ceasing efforts that any good el‘iect can he produced. This should all be thoroughly dis- cussed, and in order to penetrate un- der the thatched roof of the. small contractor, the first attempts at im- provement should be of the most ele- mentary character.

The first .tho110ht that pre- sents itself to us is selection. It is evident that in countries where the races are of good quality). the most natural wax of i111provement is to! always eliminate the had animals and preserve for 1eproduction only . the choicest. 'lhis is the first pro- cedure and £1 even case is always imposed, but it is oftenineflicientin the sense that it rarely succeeds in correcting the principal faults that are. developed in a race. by long breeding, and must disappear slow- ly. -J. In order to produce 1L real and true c'fl'ect, efforts must be applied with great spirit, not only among individuals the more cautious and. inteéligent, eliminating without; mercy the bad and mediocre animals, but it is necessary that: the whole. mass of breeders join their forces in improving tht-ir herds, and continue during several generations. It is very rare one finds a, comâ€" munity with the courage to give up the old habits and accept and apply Without hesitation the new proced- ure. The selection is therefore ex- tremely important, and should be made with the greatest care and at- tention by those who understand well its inmortzmcv. It is not by judicious crossing that one can operate happily and readily. The crossing of two distinct races should never be made at hazard,'but should he a serious study and with profound examination. We often hear these expressions: “My herd has such faults! I will take a hull of some other race hav- ing the mmlities desired.” This is the gravest of errors. ' All the at- tempts imaginable that have been made have only affirmed, in the most peremptory manner, that races canâ€" not be mixed without greatest pru- dence, or the result niay be most deâ€" plorable. - .. .1 . 1‘ a _--.~r~l- n“ \Vc rcpcat, 11191) that the 1110514 01- {active “0 _\ of improvinv stock is b\ careful selection. â€"-â€"Jou mal d' Agri- cult‘ue Pratique.

"1110 0. pm iinent of 1898 indicates that the disk hay-ow may be a valuable means of conserv- ing moisture, especially if it is used soon after the last rain preceding a period of drought. A fair comparison between dishing and early plowing can not be made from this experiment be- cause the good effects of the dishing were largely obliterated by a 110:1 '37 rain which fell July 3, before the ex- periment With early plowing began. The. results of the two experiments of 1837 and 1898 certainly show that. as far as the eii’ect upon soil moisture is concern ned, early fall plowing is cer« tainly much better than late, and es-‘ pet-ially is this true when there is 3 dr: ~ght through the months of July and August. In addition to this. the much better condition of the soil ob- tained by the early plowing should have considerable weight toward in- ducing farmers to push their fall plow. ing as early in the season as possible.
