THE Most MODERN STYLES "AND AT Low PRIC * vestinent at lowest rate: . HUBERT !. EBBELS, | Barrister, Port Perry. North Ontario Observer. {The Dol Paper of he Pops) The auction sale method of disposing of Dore hiss stock is fast becoming the fashionable one in this country. Ten Feats fo an auctionfale of stock, unless & breeder were going out of business, was s rarity. To-day there are as many displenishing ar there are dispersion Many are suspicious of the sale where the breeder is only offering a part of his stock for sale. They assume at the ontset that he will keep the best ones and selfonly those he considers of of secondary value. But this is not nec- essarily trite. A man in 'the business of 'breeding stock must accumulate a sur- plus if he has any Juck at all. If his herd never increases beyond his own require- ments he had better give up the business altogether. This surplus, then, has to be disposed of either by private or pub- lic sale. It makes little difference to the [orciaser ; be only gets a opportunity to uy the surplus in any case. The breed- er should not be expected to sell his breeding stock if he intends staying in the business. The breeding industry of any couiriry cannot be built up in that way. If the broader is a man of repute ' and has bent his en>tgies in the direc- tion of producing the best he is confer- ring « favor upon the count'? generally offering his surplus, and, especially the young stuff for sale. If he di cides that the auction sale is best way of dis- posing of this surplus he has as much right to the pationage of those in the 'business as the offered his animals by private sale. Indeed he takes consider- able risk in putting up his animals to be knocked down to the es bidder, en ee ection or satisfactory execution, the entertainment will doubtless prove creditable alike to the promoters as well as the young, intelligent per- formers, The public will show be heir confidence in the quality of the jentertainment by packing the hall to its utmost capacity.

Figures like these cause one to wonder whether all onr boasted knowledge of agriculture and scientific insight into agricultural problems, is getting wus aryv here. Why does the New World sbow up in so unfavorable a light? This American writer believes one of the causes is the difficulty the North American {farmer has inobtaining funds on reasonable terms. In France and Germany co-operative credit banking societies have been established, whic lend money on reasonable terms, both as to interest avd repeymwent. Similar institutions are springing up in other European countries, and the farmer benefits from them.--Canadian Farm. - Belated Reward for Veteran The Bt. Paul (Minn.)
