rlthewinside or cigar box covers are sometimes ornamented with a picture or the Colossus of Rhodes, with ships in full sail passing between the out- stretched legs of the gigantic statue. .'.I`hese pictures recct the popular. and .what for centuries -was the historical idea of the Colossus. which was ac- counted one of the seven wonders of the world. It may be interesting to- know that all drawings of the statue are purely imaginary and. -what is xnore,_are modern. not ancient. eforts. The Colossus was erected in 305 B. 0. . Erhe most trustworthy of ancient ac counts of it iscontaincd in a manu- script dating about 150 B. 0.. in which the height of the statue is given as 105 feet. The entrance to the harbor of Rhodes is 350 feet across. so that it wasmanifestly impossible that the legs of the Colossus should span the en- trance to the port or that ships should sail beneath it. n . 4| 1-u,I,___-_.. ___... mcANAmAN RUBBER co. %THE%I=0w: PAPER W11 THE WEST ewzemtonr` Photo l*'|'znxws i u eluueu variety Dolls beau.til'u1lv dressed from 25c. to $2.00. .

In America there is a popular belief to this day that Robert Fulton built. the first successful engine and steamboat. In England the,_.Mar- quis of Worcester. who publishedan account of a steam engine in 1663. has received credit for the invention. In France Solomon de Caus (1615) was re- garded as the genius who had given to. theworld a new motive power, Each of them may have conceived and work- ed out the idea of a steam engine with- ` gout the slightest knowledge of what: had been done` in that direction`. before" their day, -but none of them mighti- `rightly lay claim to being the. rst;ln; _ ithe eld. 7.

I would like.-to submit .. few'_-facts for the consideration of the farmersin the districts . where these meetings -are to be held. I am afraid there are a". great many` who do not `thoroughly under stand what the Institute is, and what its aims and objecteare. . To these I_ w. uld say, thatits aims and chief work. is along the line of agricultural educa- tion, improved and up-to-date methods in all lines of agriculture. '.l`he_meet- ings are `practically agricultural ex- perience meetings, where the farmer; come together to discuss matters along their own line of work, to give and get the benet - of each others advice and experience. '1`he.meetings are free and open to everyone and everyone is at liberty to take part in the discussions of the various subjects.` The speakers who aresent outby the Superintendent of Institutes, are men who are success- , lnl, practical men in their calling and who are able to give the results of their experience and knowledgellin aplain practical way.. They do not, as many people persist in believing, presume to teach us how to farm. They come to tell us what they know on certain subjects. To open up and introduce certain subjects for discussion , and the audience" are expected to help by asking questions where they desire information on any point and by giving their own`. experience in connection with the sub- ject under discussion. Now let us ask ourselves the question,` is it necessary or advisable that we who are engaged in the buiness'of agriculture, the most important industry in this country, should come together and discuss the best methods. How to produce the best articles, that will meet the de. mands of the best markets, `ind most important of all, how to produce these commodities at the greatest prot. We cannot x the price of our products. That is xed by the law of supply and demand. The `only way in which we can exercise any control" is in the ex-- ` oelleuce of our products.

There is no culling re- ; quiring so much information or on such a variety of subjects as that of the tiller of the soil. He shouldknow something ,of chemistry, as to the composition of I the soil he tills, and the foods he gives to he animals. He should some- ihinz of e botanist and a naturalist. l He should know something of veterinary ;science and of anatomy; the laws of `animals. If he is a dairymane he re- lqaires to know something of bacteri- logy, the science of germs, in order to handle. his products successfully. He should be also at horticulturist and .a pcultryman, and when we combinesllg these what a _lot of information we re- quire. _We can never get too much. In short `modern agricultureis a science. and of thephighest and most important kind. .` Organisation: butithe good work heredity in breeding and selection of . of the.Institute does not stop with the ` for the circulation` of the best lot of agricultural litereture.

The `managers of the large packing houges freely admit that the high place" won Canadian bacon in the"-English market is owing V more to the work of the Farmers Institutes than to any other agency. We are growing_a better. class ofihogs and feedingthem more in` itelligsntly because of the informhtion disseminated" by the Institutes. and what does this mean to the farmers of Ontario ! They received .$l`2;000,000' last. year for export bacon alone or about $6 per head of our population, It has also led to great improvement in other lines. of live stock and in butter and cheese. Fruit and also in what bids fair to outdo even the bacon trade andthat is the poultry industry. There ' is no denying the fact that the Far. 'mers ,Institute has become a power for good ' in this province. It stands for progress for higher ideals and wit-hal for increased prosperity in our agri-. cultural pursuits. Then let us have rousing "meetings next month at every place. Let every farmer and his sons make it a point to be there. _ Let us have a membership second to nonein the province. Let us not `be weary in well doing. Let us make Centre Sim-. cos the banner Institute of the province. And now a . word to the_ local press.- Gentlemen we want your co-operation-. We recognize the far reaching inuence you are able to exert, and we cannot succeed without your assistance. There are no private interests to be served. Thisinstitution. is Pro Bono Publioo. Then let us work together for the com- mon weal, for in no way can you serve your country better than in doing what you can to advance` the great industry upon which the prosperity of this pro. vincev depends, the noble business of agriculture. `if: 7IcI"'* William Sr-ill, Mayor of Orangeville, died suddenly in his oice Thursday ufternu on.

People whose sympathies are easily aroused have wept over the wrongs of Belisarius. the conqueror of the Vandals. who. many were taught, `begged his bread at the city gates" after having `commanded victorious armies and been of much service to the state. The good old general was unquestionably an unfortunate and much abused mam, but there is no proofthat he begged his living at the` city gates or elsewhere.
