The teachers of those winning medals will be kind enough to send their names and addresses to us as soon as they know so that we can send the me- dals to the schools. It must be thoroughly un- derstood that those medals are given FREE by us and that. they are not to be given till the certificates are given out. Teachers will kindly let us know a few days be- fore hand so that we can Send the medals to the schools. These are the first models that were ever given in South Grey and we sincere 1y hope that the winners will prize them as such. MODEL BAKERY. Mumfacturer of And Dealer in â€" ’Q-oâ€" Want ONTARIO. Just wait.â€"If you are right you can aflord to let the mudslingers have their say. There is nothing impresses peOple so much as self con- trol. The fellow who wants to jump on these who criticise him. or whoi runs around like a wet hen cacklingf about his wrongs is nine times out of 'ten no better than his neighbors paint him. “By long forbearance a prince is persuaded.” Your cause will gain friends as you keep your mouth shut. Even those who doubt you will become your defenders when they see you calm under the attacks of envy and spite. The men who have patiently waited have made this world. Some of them have been hissed, booted and mobbed. but have lived to their ideas enthroned in the hearts and lives of their fellows. If you are right and know it just wait. If you are maligned and abused wait. If you are cast out of society or the church wait. Nineteen hundred years have passed since the howling mob hurled its vituperation and scorn at the man of Nazareth as he hung upon the cross. To-day the civilized ‘ world does homage at Golgotha. An effective weapon.â€"If you want to break every bone in your enemy’s body, don’t take a club or an axe. ' There is a more efiective method. J "A soft tongue breaketh the bone.” You can limber up the worst old stifl- necked, hard-boned enemy by the proper use of the tongue Two men in this city were sworn enemies. and it seemed that each was just waiting the chance to get the knife in and turn it ’round. One day athird party made a disparaging remark to one of them about the other. The state- ment was a lie, and the man who ,heard it knew it. He was man ,enough to defend even an enemy in ‘ his absence, and called down his tra- ducer. It got to the ears of the party interested and he came next day and extending his hand to his enemy ac- knowledged his obligation for the generous defence. Many a time the soft tongue has broken the bone. It is sad, too, that a soft slimy tongue has not only sometimes broken .the bone but the heart. Know how to use your tongue for good. Not only keep a civil tongue in your head. but learn how to use it to kill strife and promote moral health. Poor tools.-â€"â€"Pe0ple who don’t look below the surface wonder why the Lord made so many poor people. The Lord in most cases hadn’t anything to do with the business. Some people will always be poor because they have to run and ask some one every time they want to wipe their noses. Undependable people are the curse of the world. Every business is hamp- ered with these barnacles. You can’t trust them out of your sight or they Will spoil something. The man who gets on in this world is the one who uses what little brains he has to 'do’ things and gets them done before you have time to get round and ask him the second time. These “second time” people are not worth the breath you spend on trying to im- prove them. Brace up and get rid of them if you have any hanging around your establishment. “Con- fidence in an unfaithful man in a time of trouble is like a broken tooth and afoot out of joint.” He will go back on you some time when it will cost you a good penny. Don’t run the risk. The bright side,â€"Get hold of things right side up and remember the best side is always the bright side. The world has no use for "bellyachers." You feel like giving out and cursing yourself when one of these growling plagues come around, One of the sorest afflictions the Lord can send a man is to put one of these Jeremiahs in his circle who is always wailing out harrowing tales of woe. Your Stock in the community will go up in proportion to vour optimism. There is nothing succeeds like success, but nothing helps on success like having peeple believe in you. “I would as soon see the devil come into mv place as that man.” said a business man the other day of one of these pessio mists. Believe in yourself, believe others, believe in good, believe in your country and believe in God. Give peeple the brightest you get out of a bright life of faith and you will die young if you live to be eighty “As cold waters to a thirsty soul. so is good news from a far country.” People are always thirsty for good DOWI. (Solomon. in the Shoe and Leather Journal ) Make friends.â€"â€"Don’t get into that whirl of excitement in the pursuit of money or pleasure .that lets friend- ship go to the devil. There is a screw loose here in our modern con- ditions. Our fathers had their staunch friends and relationship meant much to them. Their sons have their acquaintances and are prepared to ignore or tread them down if at any time they get in the way of otherwise interfere with theirs selfish purposes. The man who cuts out friendship is on the way to a buc- caneer’s life. Give yourself a chance :0 gather a few people around you whose hearts are not petrified with p money grabbing. “Thine own friend ‘ and thy father’s friend forsake not.” There are some men who would sell xhenr own friends, their father’s friend and two or three of their moth- er’s for a five cent piece with a hole in it. Anything for money. You are. perhaps. getting there. Get out of this indifierence as you would out of a plague district. PeOplo rebukeâ€"It is not. neceunry to be :21 ignorant boar to be plain STRAY SHOTS. #** spoken or candid. There are times when a man is required to speak out. It is cowardly to be silent when silo once is consent to wrong. At the same time be sure your speech on such an occassion is wise as well as sincere. Don’t be afraid to rebuke wrong. but let your rebuke be such as to leave no poison. “He that re- bukethaman afterwards shall find more favor than he that flattereth with his tongue.” Few men worth the name will resent a word fitly spoken. and few are deceived with soft Speech or cowardly acquiescence in their own wrong doing. There are, however, those who think it the proper thing to hit a man on the head with a stufled club and then expect him to turn around and kiss the rod that smote him. There are times when a good crack in the jaw is the proper answer to so called candid- Braying praise.--Next to the weari- soms ass who gives free vent to his ill Opinions of people on all sides is the fellow who slobbers all over his friends in public. There is little enough good said of people in this life. and it is well to strew flowers in the path of our friends instead of waiting to heap them on their coffins. But the man who makes a business of tafiying peOple on purpose to work some scheme on them or their friends is a dangerous person. “He that blesseth his friend, rising early in the morning. it shall be counted a curse 0883’. to him.” When you hear some people say nice things about others you instinctively look. around to see where the string is. Don’t either with design or out of foolish heart be caught plastering your friends with mushy complaints. If they know anything they will despise you and the world at large will take you either for an ass or an knave. If you want to say good things of folks go to them. A great deal of interesting infor- mation has been gathered lately by H. B. Cowan, Provincial Superinten- dent of agricultural societies, regard- ing the ownership of pure bred breed- ing stock, by several societies in the Province. A number of these 80016- ties, it has been found are doing ex- cellent work. It is believed that if many of the societies in the Province which are holding small exhibitions. were to give up this work and own and circulate pure bred stock. they would accomplish much more good for their sections. On Saturday, June ll, Mr. Cowan visited the home of Mr. A. M. Stewart at Dalmeny, Russell County. who is secretary of the township of Osgood agricultural society. This society has been 'own- ing pure bred stock since 1867. The Directors are unanimous in the belief that their society has done more good than it could possiblv have done had it endeavored to hold annual exhibi- tions. Mr. Stewart states that it is the general Opinion in the county that the county of Russell won the banner ofiered by the Ottawa Valley Journal to the county in eastern Ono tario owning the best stock. largely as a result of the excellent work done by this society. The Osgood society owns three bulls. two of which are Ayrshires, anda Shorthorn, twelve rams and four boars. The sheep are mostly Shropshires. but include two Lei- cestors and one Oxford down. The hogs include one animal each of the following breeds, Tamworth, York- shire, Berkshire and Chester White. These animals are located in five dif- ferent sections of the township. Any twelve farmers in the township, who wxll agree to-pay $2. each for three years and take proper care of stock will, on request be furnished with a pure bred bull, ram or boar. by the Society. or with all three, if they ask for them. Generally one animal is asked for the first year, more being taken after this sub-division of the main society has become well estab- fished. If the Society has no animals on hand a committee is appointed to pur- chase them. Some bulls have cost the Society as high as 3400. Accord- ing to Mr. Stewart, the Society has never secured a good bull which did not cost at least $100 laid down at Daimeny. The society has purchased balls that have won the gold medal at such exhibitions as Toronto. “In the past” continued Mr. Ste- wart, we have always been able to furnished all the animals asked for. if a local section asks for three ani- mals, the Society loses money, but if they only ask for one animal, we generally make a little. The $24, 1 received each year from the twelve farmers forming one of these sections together with the government grant we receive and a little extra funds, which come in in other ways, gener- ally enables us to meet the expense of keeping the animals. Some times we have been forced to go into debt. while at other times we have had as much as two or three hundred dol- lars to the good. At present. we Have over $100 on hand, with the government grant coming due Our grant is usually about 863. Some years we have had as many as eight bulls, thirteen rams and six boars. At the end of a couple of years, these oreeding animals are changed around from division to dlvision to preVent inbreeding. When the breeding stock has passed its usefullness, it is sold to the butcher and the money comes back to the Society. Members have the use of n rem for all their sheep end of the beer for two animals twice a year. Each member is entitled to breed four cows during the year, end if the bell is not need much, members ere snowed Societies Owning Stock. to take more cows. The man who keeps the bull, has the use of him for all his stock. The same privilege is allowed the man who keeps the ram and he also gets the ram’s fleece extra. Twelve to 820 a year is al- lowed the man who keeps the boar. At the same time our Societv paid members as much as $10 a month for keeping the bull.’ Members also had the use of the bull free. This was found to be too much of a good thing for the man keeping the bull and the Society soon got into' dispute and membership fell 05. until the Society was partially dead. About ten years ago we changed this method and adopted the present system which has worked admirably. We pay about $20 for our hogs when they were six months old and 820 to $35 for our rams. “I am satisfied‘ continued Mr. Ste- “I am satisfied, continued Mr. Ste-‘ wart. that if most of the societies which held exhibitions were to give them up and keep pure bred stock instead, the way our society does, it would be a great improvement over the present system, where there are so many fairs that they conflict with each other. We have a sort of un- written law that any man who keeps any of our stock, must do so subject to inspection by some member or members appointed for that purpose. There have been occasions where it has been found necessarv to take ani- mals away from members, but not of late years.” THE DRUMMOND AGRICULTURAL SOCIETIES IAyer’sPills This same line 01 work is also being conducted by the Drummond Agri- cultural society. located near Perth in Lanark county. Mr. Cowan re~ ceutly visited the section and _was shown the stock kept by the society. . In the evening a meeting was held 1 at the home of Mr. P. M. Campbell, of Balderson. the secretary, at which a number of well known breeders and officers of societies were present. This society has been keeping pure bred stock since 1668 and owns two bulls, a Shorthorn and an Ayrshire. During the winter two hogs were kept, a Berkshire and a Tamworth ; more hogs will be bought in the fall. Up to two years ago, the Society kept pure bred rams. The Durham Bull cost 8140 at the auction sale of stock held in Ottawa and the Ayrshire cost 890 bought from a private breeder. The bulls are boarded around at the rate of $3 a week during June and July and for 83 a month during the rest of the year. The keep of these animals thus costs the Society about 854 each per year. The man boarding the animals have the use of them for their stock. The bulls are kept at three difierent places in the township and about every three weeks they are moved around to suit the con- 1 venience of the members. Members § are charged 81 each to join. for which fee they are permitted to breed two cows to one bull or four altogether. For four more cattle an eatra dollar is charged. The society has a mem- bership of 67 and receives a govern- ment grant of about $67, as well as W t I: heard ’ ' 3$nmu m MIL LEM m.§. ML a county grant of 830. For their dollar members can take a sow to each boar. Members holding stock can collect membership fees. The parties keeping the rams are allowed to charge members 12} cents a week for each ewe which is kept at their place. No member can take more than two ewes to a ram. In this way members of the society for their membership fee are allowed to breed four cows, four ewes and four sows, all for $1. Boars are kept at a cost to the Societv of $10 for the season. For a. number of years this Society has boug ht seed at wholesale prices and furnished it to members. who have thusseoureda reduction equal to about 1463 on all the seed they t buy throng he Society. At the meeting held in the evening the opinion was unanimously ex- pressed by those present that great good would be acoo mplished were societies to receive a government grant on the basis of what they ao- tually expend for agricultural pur- posed. instead of largely on the mem- bership basis as is done at present.

The arrangements already made for the provincial fruit flower and honey show, which will be held in Toronto during the second week in November. indicate that it is likely to prove as important an event in its line as the big winter fair held yearly at Guelph. No efiort is being spared to make each feature of the show the greatest of the kind that has ever been held in Canada. The Ontario Fruit Growers’ Association has drawn up a liberal prize list and will pay the transportation charges one way on all exhibits of fruit sent to the show. Special prizes will be ofl'ered forl the best exhibit of fruit made by any agricultural society. It is expected many of the societies in the province will send their total exhibits from their fall fairs to this show. Ar- rangements have been completed to keep this fruit in cool storage. In this way, it is hoped to have repre- sentative exhibits of fruit from all parts of the provmce. Demonstra- tions in packing fruit will be given and bulletins will be issued describ- ing the special qualities of each var- ‘iety of fruit and stating whether i'; is best for cooking or eating purposes. In this way, householders will be en abled to secure the best varieties of fruit for their purposes. On the last day of the exhibition a big auction sale of fruit will take place. The money oflered for flowers is over 100°/ more than has ever before been ofiered in Toronto. About $1500 will be given in prizes in this section alone. The arrangements are in charge of a floral committee of which Mr. Edward Tyrrel, president of the Toronto Horticultural Society is chairmen. The honey prize list is also a liberal one. Several prizes are ofiered for commercial packages. Amonst the important gatherings that will take place at the time of the show will be the annual meeting of the Ontario Fruit Growers’ Associa- tion and the Ontario Bee Keepers’ Association, while a meeting of dele gates from the various horticultural societies of the province will also be held. The Ontario Government has made a grant of $1000 to aid the ex- hibition. which has been supplement- hy a grant 8200 from the city of To- ronto.
