And there's money in this here business of telling the truth. 1 can mind the time when I was a youngster, when people thought you had to "do others, or they'll do you."

And they gets as mad as Sam Hill when they finds the thing won't work--that it rolls around and wobbles so that you never know where to find it; or the fellow that uses it. Just the same with cheatin', You'd think nobody had ever knowed how to cheat before, and that this fellow had got onto the combination, and was a going to make it work _even if everybody else had failed. But it's no go--you can't fool the people very much of the time. . They're mighty quick at findin' out when butter half a ounce short to the pound, or any other tricky job.

G. Branches ako at HEN Market Roads The following is taken from the Highway Commisioners' report. Your Commissioners believe that there is impending a revolution in farm operations. Two centuries ago or less the European farmer used the pack-horse to take his products to market. A Revolution in methods occurred, and he came to employ wagons, which were hauled along roads much better than the tracks his an- cestors had known. The self-propelled vehicle has come to stay, and Your Commissioners are convinced that the successful solution of the problem of good roods in some part depends up- on a recognition of that fact. Indeed the motor, to no small extent, creates the problem, for it has proved so des- tructive to main highways which re. sisted the wear and tear of horse-drawn to guard against a deterioration, which now proceeds with a rapidity formerly unknown. The motor vehicle, in short cannot be ignored in a consideration of the subject. More than that, oppor- tunities as well as difficulties are creat- ed by this new method of transporta- tion. It presents some, at least, of the features essential to profitable use by farmers; it conveys loads of a size so moderate that a single farm can fur- nish one or more than one, yet so large as to out-class the old horse-drawn wagon; it requires, not specialized tracks, like railway, "ut a common. highway, albeit improved to a stand- ard within the reach of the commun- 1ty; it is free from the difficulties of traffic adjustment which have made the conduct of railways a business by itself, and a peculiarly difficult busi. ness. In short, it is an individualistic method of transportation, and thus commends itself to farming, the most independent and individualistic occy- pation in the world. Public attention at present tends io fasten upon the pleasure car, but Your Commisioners PORT PERRY BR find themselves much more interested in those vehicles, some designed for the transportaton of passengers, some for the carfiage of freight, which they | are persuaded before long will be in general use by the farmers of the Pro- vince. They suspect, indeed, that the days of the use of the motor car for mere pleasure already are numbered; | that in another decade the joy - riding | may be done in the air and the autom obile will be relegated to the purposes of sober labor. Already there are cheap motar cars to be obtained; the these with as little straining on their resources as his grandfather could a expect a further lowering 'of the price.

ANGCH A Barn Raising i You can talk about your social' events in the city, but for downright : get together sociability, you can't beat : beat a barn raising. Men come from: all directions--men you wouldn't ex-- pect to see at a raising and men you couldn't keep away with a gad. They are all there, all happy and every man is as good as his neighbor until jt comes to putting up the bents and putting up the plates. Then you find out who's: who--the level headed ones who think it's safer up than down, and the ord- inary fellows who can shove on a pike yole after somebody else has put it in place. There are others who stand around and look in teresting. There was a raising on Monday out at Alex. Lee's near Greenbank, Ashenhurst of Uxbridge was the framer and he had his timbers in good shape and a great crowd of men to handle the sticks. At first every man was busy lifting the light end of a beam Even the Port Perry fellows dug in and got their names up. There was. was quite a big Port Perry contingent, (always a good square meal to be had at a raising you know) and when feed's scarce that's a consideration, By and bye the posts and beams and plates and girts were all carried aud then the bents were put together and one by one thefour of them were put into place after sides had been chosen with Bert Dobson, and George Mec.Millan as captains. It's a shaky job putting up bents, but somehow they get there, and the men who can climb drive home the pins that holds'the girts. Some men are never happy unless they are on top- climbing around like a chipmunk, Take Peter Gantou--he's seen a lot of summers and winters and at one time he fell and was nearly killed, but it makes no difference, he likes to be on top, and he's a good man in that place. Another important man is the fellow who yells "Yo heave!" George: Jackson fills the bill to a tee, and many a time when a plate seemed stuck he lifted the whole thing forward with one mighty yell--assisted by some men with pika poles and rodes. There was one bit of bad luck -- Bert Dobson's side won and the editor was on the other side. There are a hundred ways of explaining this cir- cumstance but one will do--they man- aged to beat us by being better men on the job for that time, Of course the winning side yelled, and swooped down on the supper tables where they did just as effective: work as they had done at the barn. The rest of us were good seconds, So ended the day--happy to meet sorry Yo part, happy to meet again. And the frame is up, the rafters on, and Alex. Lee will now have two goods barns on his farm where before he hag Mr. Lees new barn is 48 x 0, and has 16 foot posts. He intends to put a silo inside his new barn, and will build a new silo at the old barn, The {new building will be well supplied ory
