In no line of natural product is there a better outlook than for the apple trade if it is honestly bandled, for Great Britain consumes hundreds of thousands of barrels of apples more than she can produce, and no country in the world grows a better apple than the Dominâ€" ion; but so much loss has been incurred during the last three seasons by reason of the dishonesty practised by certain Canadian shippers that our reputation is badly smirched in the Old Country just now. The season for the imporâ€" tation of Canadian apples has closed in Britain just as the season for New Lealand and Tasmanian apples bas opened, and Commercial Intelligence, a British weokly giving much attention to colonial trade, goes so far as to say that a great many people connec‘ed with the trade are heartily glad. Acâ€" cording to this recognized authority more money has been lost duriog the past six months by operators in apples than bas ever been the case before, aud the chief fault lies with the exporters. ‘This very serious evil has been freâ€" quently referred to and the Governâ€" ment,â€"fally alive to the importance of preserving Canada‘s good name if all their efforts to develop the British market are not to be rendered nugaâ€" tory,â€"has introduced a bill to provide for the proper inspection of the fruit before it leaves tho country. The operation of such a measure will doubtâ€" less do much, but far more can be done, by the intinonce of a healtbhy public sentiment.

On a commanding elevation a short distance above the mill is his pleasant home. . Connected with the latter is a good farm containâ€" ing some sixty odd acres. ‘The preâ€" mises are well supplied with conâ€" venient outâ€"buildings, one of which is an iceâ€"house and milk cellar so arranged as to permit the keeping of milk, butter, etc. in the best possible condition, a good supply of ie being stored each season for the purpose. As seven or eight good cows are kept a considorable quantity of butteris made on the farm during the season. .

The mills are somewhat romanticalâ€" ly situated, being surrounded on all sides by fortile hills from which the sparkling waters of the dam are secn. The water here is sufficient for fifty horseâ€"power, but a sixty horseâ€"power engine stands ready to propel the machinery iu case the former runs too low. Steam power was first introduced here by A. and J. Clemonts about fifâ€" teen years ago, but Mr. Shantz has since replaced that with an engine and boiler of more modern manufacture and increased horseâ€"power. . In early years this neighborhood afforded a tavern, but that was numbered among the "has beens" long ago. Among its first proprietors were Octavious Seagrim and Charley Crossing. Mr. Shantz comes from good old Penusylvania Dutch stock. His grandâ€" father, the late Joseph Shantz, was a native of Pottstown, Montgomery County, Pa., who came to Canada with his widowed mother and a brother and sister in the year 1808, he being then only thirteen years of age.

The subject of this sketch does not spend many idle moments during working days,for he will be found conâ€" stantly on duty on the preiises, and it will be observed at once that he is not backward about taking hold,it mattera not how difficult the task may be. He is of stout build, however, possessing more than average physical strength, and, consequently, work that would cause an ordinary man to wince is perâ€" formed by him with comparative case. He is well known in the neighborhood of Philipsburg, where for a number of years he was engaged in farming and cheeseâ€"making. â€" The latter he carried on in the factory on the farm of â€"~Mr. John D.
