The Watchman-Warder THE FARMER has always been the mainstay ot Canada. ’ When the country was a wilderness, it was his axe that let in the daylight, while he smote the ‘forest with resounding blows. To break the soil and make it rich with harvest, were his also, and the coming millions were fed by the labour of his hands. When he prospered the country has prospered and his adven sity has rested heavily upon all. The Do you feel as thouzh you could sleep all day and tixed when you awglg?

In those days the soil was rich and needed little attention, the market was the little community in the clearing and the problems were chiefly confined to pine roots and log-heaps. Plowing among stumps, took the place of party politics and was quite as con- ducive to temperate language. The speeches that made this country great were addressed to oxen. “mm; mg?

Following the early days, came a time when the great question with the farmer was not pine stumps so much as mortgages.

Farmer’s In agricultural socreties, news- 7 lecturers and the colleges are spreading the good news and farmers are becoming experts in their great calling.

A --At-L.I\A :6 papers, HIECCU Lual. tJlbvvu-v' , . Nor is that all. A new method 15 in vogue. The co-operative spirit is abroad. Instead of isolated action along as many lines as there are in- dividuals, there is now organized united effort along uniform lines, for a common result. Now the man on the Atlantic knows what sort of cattle, hogs, poultry and dairy products his fellow-farmer clear across the contin- ent to the Pacific is trying to produce. He also knows the methods being used for that end. Farmers are a traternity â€"â€"â€"the greatest in the world. Not only is there co-operation on the broad and general lines of Canadian farming, but communities are joining hands. Cheese factories and creameries are examples. Instead of each going his own way and becoming the victim of the market all go one way and control the market. Costly mistakes are avoided, a uniform article is produced, the highest prices are assured, the attention of the foreign consumer is attracted, and the dairy industry placed upon an enduring basis. ‘ ;.___..."n u. “W."N“ 1..."-.. v: , ,, This new era in agricultural pursuits, is full of bright promise. Instead of farm- ing being less than it has been, it is destined to be far more. With the‘ demand abroad and the instruction at home, there is no limit to the possibil- ities of Canadian farming. We have not begun to see the producing powers of this soil. In a less fertile country, ten acres keeps a family. That is under skilled farming on the intensive system. A hundred has sometimes not done it in Canada, but the time is approaching when, under the new order of things, the product of an acre will have a money value that would have made our forefathers, of the great wheat crops, stare. It is with the greatest satisfac. tion that we observe the bright prosâ€" pects before our friends, the farmers. WE DRAW attention to Mr. Reesor’s letter in another column correcting a statement appearing in our paper last week. In Mr. Reesor’s absence we obtained our information from another member of the company, who was not aware of the exact nature of the nego- tiations. Since it was published in good faith we trust that no disadvan tage will result, to any one interested. THE WAR for humanity still goes on. How it goes, can be gathered from a letter received by Capt. Michea of St. Catherines, from his son who is serving with the American army in the Philippines. It says: “We had to kill everything we saw. We went into Malabon, after it had been bombarded and we killed every native we metâ€" men, women and children. It was a dreadful sight, the killing of the poor creatures.” About the only humanity displayed in this war is that exercised by the censors, who suppress the revolting deeds of their country’s troops. Comm: NTING on our article in a recent issue, regarding the lumber industry in this town, the ()rillia News-Letter says that if we meant to leave the impression that the present output here is equal to that of former times, we madea misleading statement. In reply, we have to say that it was not our intention to make such a claim, in fact we had not that comparison In mind, but the News-Letter’s remark has led us to make enquiries on the point, and we are very glad to learn from competent authorities that the output of forest products from this town last year was equal to that of any year in its history, and that this year it will be far in excess of last.
