His Lordship interpreted the meanings of the difierent characters on the win- ‘flow and said that understanding the meaning of outward symbols was sure to add to one’s devotion. .. -â€"Anniversary sermons were preach. ill at St. Paul's by Rev. B. Macna- mu of Fenelon Falls, a. former junior pastor of the church. At night, the text was the words of David reâ€" puling- the ark : "We heard of it at mints. ; we found it in the field a! the woods."- Ephata was said to he Bethlehem, David’s birthplace, and f‘the field of the woods” Was may the interpretation of Kirjath- fearim where David found the ark than as king he sent to bring it to the temple at Jerusalem. The fact that David-says he had heard of the wanted emblem at Ephrata. was by the preacher declared to v-indicate that he was taught religion at home and that fact made the basis of an meet appeal to parents to instruct aheir children in sacred things and not. leave everything to the Sunday school and church.

Great Britain will endeavor to leg; ally attach the gold if it can be lo- cated, on the ground that she is en- titled to all the assets of the Trans- vaal because she has assumed res- ponsibility for the debts of that country, including the bonds issued prior to the war. Gen. Botha’s reply to Colonial Secretary Cham‘t‘erlain, that the late government had no assets, was strictly true, as far as he knew, but since receiving Mr, Chamberlain’s letter Gen.

On Saturday night while the wind blew a gale Mr. J oness, hear- ing that the windmill at the barn was running, arose about midnight without disturbing his family, and went out to the barn to shut it off, when _by some means his arm was caught in the machinery and he Was unable to free himself. Being so far from the house he was unable to awaken any one, and for about seven hours he was subjected to the most ‘.excruciating agony, for every revolu- tiOn of the wheel gave him a. violent shock and aggravated his terrible mflering.

He extricated him, removed him to the house and hastily summened DOCtors A. S. Tilley and L. Potter. They did what they could for“ him, and when they left him he seemed quite rational. About noon he lapsed into unconsciousness and died at 3 o’clock from the shock of his system and the 1 exposure of such a. stormy night. to seemingly trustworthy informa- tion here, that Mr. Kruger and Mr. Lledys have in their possession $2,500,000.

DUNCAN ANDERSON “The farming‘busineos is one that, capital cannot monopolize. As an “Diversified farming is the hope of the Ontario agiculturist. This 19 what improved methods have acâ€" complished, and it has revolutionized the farm, the products and the pro- fits- For instance, the farmer of On! tario toâ€"day is a manufacturer. He takes the raw products of his farm. such as hay, grain and milk, and ‘he turns out for the market, cattle. ihogS. bacon, beet,” milk, cheese, eggs and butter. The improved methods have taught the advantage of this system as compared with the old. Farm land is actually improvingx‘ an- nually in strength to-day, whereas it was rapidly being drained of its sub- stance under the antiquated plan which caused a farmer to sell his raw products.- The ‘- land is not impoverished to-day by a crop but it is rather enriched, because the manure goes back on the soil. GOOD THING FOR CANADA ”In 1890, when the United States put a prohibitive tarii! on grains, it was looked upon as a direct menace to the Canadian farmer. I hold it was the best thing that could have happened to the Canadian farmer, for it resulted in the changed con- ditions which exist to-day. At that time we were sending raw products into the States. For instance, they were paying us across the line 80 cents a bushel for barley. With a 35 ’per cent. duty this traffic was ab- olished. That year we farmers of Ontario exported half a million dol- lars’ worth of bacon. Toâ€"day we ex- port $13,000,000 worth of bacon. In 1890 our export products were valued at $24,000,000. Toâ€"day they amount to $96,000,000. That tarifl did it. The farmer now utilized these raw pro- ducts at home. To-day the farmer's cash products, or his 'money crop.’ is beef. hogs. sheep. egs. cheese and butter. Before the McKinley tarii! became effective it was largely grain which he sold, and his hand was imâ€" poverished daily. liked Pmiu by: flood Agricultufl II Ont-tin Mr. Duncan Anderson of Rugby has been heard at Farmers’ Institute meetings in Linday. He is among the bestrInstitute speakers. To the Toronto World a few days ago Mr. Anderson talked in this fashion about farming and its outlook : “There never was a time in the history of Canada when the agricul- tural pr05pects of Ontario Were brighter nor the conditions of the Earma- more prosperous than to- ay.

There are several firms and capit- 11th in the City of Toronto Who would like nothing better than see the members of the workingmen's or- ginizations in Toronto fighting among themselves, for u soon as that fight started these ea‘pflnlintic flrmswonldnotnedtofightthoor- muons. «“Our‘ system of education devised by the Agricultural College teaches 5‘ farmer how to discard unprofitable annuals, how to detect at a glance a cow that is good for dairying pur-. poses. and another that will make the best food animal. Farming has been reduced to a science. It is a. profession. and to-day the most. pro- fitable of all vocations : but. success is determined by the application, intelligence and energy devoted to 11 ll as late as he could see. We teach now that more can be acompliahed with 10 hours' work a day. That, too. will have a tendency to make the farm more attractive to.the boy- and keep him on it. FARMING A SCIENCE .“The price of farm land in Ontar- rio kept down by the attractive pro- positions in the Northwest. But this is only temporary. An invest- ment in farm lands of this province I consider the best that a max: can make who wishes to farm the land. Hundred-acre farms are the most profitable; but, of course. this de- pends largely upon a man‘s familyu With this. size farm a man can bank $1000 a year and live a life of lux- ury." He has to-day at his door practically the railway and the su- buxban car line: in his bedroom the telephone. and steam and electricity does for him what his hands had to do previously. cases. I believe i a. young man is given two winters in a. High school, tWO terms in the agricultural Col- lege and one term in a. business col- lege, spending the intervening time on a farm. he is prepared to handle a. term profitably; This sort of educat- ion will keep him on the farm too. The work of a farmer today is easier than any other kind cl 9. Me and it is independent. Machinery does all his work. "Long hours on the farm are being abandoned. The time was when a man went. to work at. 4 and worked original proposition, it can be said that capital cannot rent land, hire the help necessary to conduct. a farm and make money out of the business. In other words. the personal atten- tion of the farmer, his residence on the land he cultivates, is the prime has essential of success. After cap- ital has employed a high-class man to operate its (arm, the products are destroyed. Thus the farmer is free from danger of oppression in this direction. "But the rural population of On- tario is not increasing, and is only just about holding its own. This is is the lace of the fact that the {arm oflers better opportunities for the young men than the city or the proflessions. The price of farm labor in the past five years has adanced about 35 per cent. be- because 0‘! this scarcity. The (162de s ill exceeds the supply. A farm 1 orer can easily command from 83.00 to $2.25 and boardJodging and laundry today. But young men crowd into the cities and the North- west... The drain on Ontario from- the Northwest can be noticed easily. And yet I believe the prospects oi s tanner are better in Ontario today than anywhere else in the world. EDUCATION AND FARMING ."The crowding oi the Cities by young men from the farm can be stopped with the proper of educat- tion. I believe many a boy is actuâ€" ally educated avay (tom the farm. In other words, he is given an edu- cationthat makes him unfit to iollow the business of farming. And yet the secret of failure on the (arm is lack of business education in most We treat ail alike.
