Erectric Power.--The Hydro- Power meeting in the town of Ux- bridge on Tuesday of last week was in every respect a pronounced suc-- cess. The delegation was Jarge and influential in character. The fol= lowing beipg a portion of an address delivered by the Hon. Adam Beck, M.P.P., we extract from an excel- lent réport of the proceedings which appeared in the Uxbridge Journal : "Two horse power on a farm can be made to do a mulitude of work, lightening labor indoors and out, and lighting the house and barns at night. In townships already wired the Government with a portable power wagon, is going to demon- strate the uses of power on the farm drawn from the wires on the high- way. Power in this section would be delivered over a line from Port Crédit, west of Toronto, and would cost. at first not less than §40. The cost to Uxbridge would be $44 per horse, in Stouffville $41, in Wood- ville 852, in Port Perry $54, subject to substantial reduction if more igh amount pow estimated is | can pay by meter or horse power."

Reports from pearly all parts of Ontario indicate a good crop. How troubles multiply! The Port Rowan News says; In the sandy tracts of North Walsingham the farmers are afraid the turkeys will grow so fat on grasshopers that they will not be able to escape from their enemies. Gobblers roosting on branches are sooner or later captured by the foxes. If some effective protection for this fat turkey crop can be devised there will be no trouble about money for the taxes, The Canadian Courier proposes that the curriculum of the rural schools be made different frour that of the cities, so that country pupils may receive spedial instructions in the more advanced methods of modern agriculture, The Bowmanville Statesman quotes Napoleon Bonaparte as say ing that when he had work to do he chose, if possible, a man with a long nose. It is dollars to dough- nuts that the nose of the editor of the Statesman is not short. "Freer trade, not free trade is now announced to be the policy of the Liberal party.
