Sir Henry Thorn- ton, head of the Canadian National Railways, says that to him it seems almost incredible that a country possessing such advantages as Canâ€" ada should contain a population of less than nine. million people. “The . great Prairie Provinces,” he says. “although they producedalmost half a billion bushels of wheat last year. will yet provide homes for millions of peeple. Practically every provâ€" ince is rich 1n minerals. still largely undeveloped; while the last great forests of North America are in: Canada. Water powers abound 111 every provmce.

Over a month ago a horse buyer from Toronto, or a man buying hors- es for a Toronto repository, went to one of our Culross farmers and pur- chased a mare for $80. The horse had a cold and was not misrepre- sented in any way. The animal was shipped to Toronto and a cheque given for the amount. In a few days the mare was sent back. charges colâ€" lect, and payment. of the cheque stopped. The buyers claimed the horse had the heaves. The same an- imal is working today as good as ever, but it cost the owner about $18 express and feeding charges. as he believed it would be cheaper to do this than to fight. the case in the. ,courts. V\’ \O- V~U The question arises. when is a horse sold? You dare not misrepre- sent a horse. but when a man buys a horse and is perfectly satisfied at the time and no questions asked. and then in a few days takes :1 dislike to its actions. why should the first owner he. saddled with return costs?
