The communication which appeared -,i theiM columns a couple of weeks ago from a Eugenia correspondent deserves attention, at the bands of Artumesia ratepayers. The subject of toads is oue which can be profitably discussed, and should be discussed fiwoly until ever} resident of the town- it - t > iK'corit'B familiar with the pros and cons of the subject. The scheme winch F. T. C. brings forward wan tfuggcstod by us about a year ago, but no move was made. We believe with him and many others that f'20,OQO in vested iu the manner he mcntious would. pay the township tenfold. It woulduhu jce the value of property to a very great extent ; it would save wear and tt-ar on vehicles, and bring trade to our markets which we do not uow.cnjoy. In fact the benetits winch would iiccrce can gcarctly be enniuer- i'.. u. It W'Uild not raise taxation above what we have ben paying for i In last number of years, %nd the bur- 1< u would therefore not be felt by those win, 'jvoulil ^iijoy tlic benefits. Two good gravel roads croating tlie lownshiji al ri^lit an^U^ about the : Mitre, with tin- owe already existing /!;./- grunt loudt, would be an tn- iMtiiuubli- h'.iui indeed. With the "-.her ru:.'! lajfini; tii }. put into , mil condition, we bcliave the en- hanced \:il'ii' of fatiuiii^ property would ni'in than aininint to the ac- l oiitla) a'.iit bring an era of pros- .

He believes in her future and rccog- uizeg the great advances she has made since federation. The great majority of Canadians, and Dr. Grant among i lie number, have the happy faculty of turning a dtf ear to the pessimist, and are made of the good sound ma- terial which is slow to acknowledge defeat. The following quotation from the article referred to will give a very good idea of the eloquently sarcastic manner iu which Dr. Grant handles the professor : ID 1867, anti-confederates pointed oat that the proposed Dominion confuted of four divisions that could not be united to- gether by railways and each uf which was intaniled by nature to be a mere appendage to s corresponding Stste or Bection to the South. There was a meaxure of truth in thu. But tliB people would not listen. In- stinctively they understood that every na- tioii must b* ready to pay a price, mast be willing to transcend difficulties in order to realize itself, to maintain its independence, to teoure for itself a distinctive future. 'IVysai J.let us rise up and build. So, they addud to tlieir unequalled system of Internal navigation from tbe Straits of lieuciale up into the rnlr of tbe continent, an unparal leled railway system along lines where en giueers aud scientific men had declared that railway* could not be built. And now.whon the difficulties have been orerceme, wiii-n every uart of our eonfeduracy is linked to. gether by bauds of tie beet ncel, when magnificent dry docks have keen built at Halifax and Vancotiver.when our coasts sud rivers and lakes bavo been lighted witb hundreds of lighthouses : now, when after incredible toir and expense and faith on the part i.f, comparatively speaking, a handful of people scattered over half a continent we lure jucu-Jni in building our nation's houie, it is cooly proposed that we should break it Into frai;uieuti as if it were a card ca.stle and ss if the putting of it together liac bi'i-ii uierelj a bit of ehiMs plav on tlir pun of ,T..WII babies ! How can anv one fancy that Mich a tiling is poixible ! Dr. Graut is a champion of whirl Canada should be proud. May his powerful arm prevail ! raitor. J JHJI imt a traitor, ami my enying the charge proves Dr. hriitoe a registered '.raitor by hii vi letter. It is singular that tins ilijali of tbe nineteeuth century would accuse a person of being a raitor and tbe very next sentence re- Di il himself a traitor. He also ac- u.ie.s uie of showing a deaire at the ouncil board to draw mure mouey lian I was entitled to. That is a mutual, wriful, premeditated false- 1'iuil, and is a malicious attempt to njure my reputation. But lie cannot lo that for I am too long aud favor- ably known in this county, for any moral sycophant to injure. In eou- lusion I would recommend this great cader of men aud moulder of public morals to carefully peruse the 18th '/jitor of first ( ' jrinthiaria and try aud carry a little more of his pro- SH! religion into his daily walks through life.

KARSTEDT, Flesherton, MooHonln, N W I To the Editor of TV* A<lt<itv DBA* Stt, Since I wrote you last 'nil I have had letter* from ac<|iiaintan- i appreciating my letter very much, and askinu me to write again jivint; my pinion* of the country, kind of weather, inn! li'ipini; it may be interesting I (hall endeavor to do so in as iihort an article I possibly can. We had no rain from the middle of October until -1st May. Ituautiful Indian summer weather all the fall until the end of December. Frost set in on the night of the ikh Nov. and farmers had .* lay past their piaic which ot a rest until the beginning of. April. The wiuUr has bectt most remarkably fine. There was no real winter weather until the last day of January, when tin thermometer be^an to run down, and on the second day of Feb. it reached 42 be low zero, that beiiijj the lowest point reached during the whole of Feb. , and iJ part of March the weather was cold Lilt not severe, with only a few rlou Jays, nearly all th time the sun shining bright by day, and when the osoon is full on a clear night a person with fairly od eyesight can read a newspaper by the h'/lit of thu moon. VV had excellent ill- vlinii; on thu prairie about the middl f Jan. .while on the trails, or roads,a you v null call them in Out., was equal!} as H.M nl wheeling The d -epest ingtw we had during the winter did not ucsec fifteen iucliea. We had no bh/./.:iins, an. I must sny 1 never saw a liner winter in all my life. Why sir, dozens of cattle burses and Kheep never saw the inside o a Htablc, nor were they fed a mouthful o ^rain during the whole winter! Out on t!' prairitvhuntiiiK their own .liviiiis, and troiij;e as it may seem, yet iLjis a fact, I . horses winch hud run out all winter, '..rought in this Hpring rolling fat, induud very much fntter than aomn which h.il I. dun stabled and cared for. So mu b l-T the winter. 9 Now some person may be ready to asil how do farmers employ theiaselvvs dur- ing the winter ; tluye is u<> lawloicging or wurk of tin. I KUI. I to I* done Well, it takes ih- majority of fanner* all winter, from the tune the jjriniiid frrvze* up un- til *|>riii)i, to haul out tlu-ir ^raiii and gut up a little lirrwimti. There ure plenty of farmer* in this country who hnvu from two to six thousand bushels of grain, mostly wheat, to market, and it takes some hauling to move that quantity of K-.VIII, and inniiv of them haul with oien for a distance . f frura 20 to 40 nules. I ii i^ just hnr aajf there- is a i{ood deal of u-i .mi to In' broui<ht to jn-trki't yet. Quite a i ninln i have held for better prii i. Spring opened up 1st of April, and by the 7th seeding was general all over. Nearly nil finished seeding in April. And such beautiful , weather, tine aud warm, (irasi about & inches hull lUirsua and cattle that were housed turned out to roam at will. The melodi- ous SOUK of the lark ; the quack of the wild duck , the screech of thousands of wild tfuoso llllt ' the peculiar gutterul aouml.s of wild turkey and prairie chick- en, all remind one t !..;*. summer is at hand, besides the beautiful flowers which Htand thick over the broad prairie. All these things tend to iimU.i this a charm- ing country, aud really h||>s man to look up to the i<i . ,u giver of .[) these mjercien and say surely thu lilies have fallcn.to us in pleasant places, and we have a goodly heritage. Our privileges are goovl, We attend church twice evry Suml i\, and out young folks 8. 8. We have a nto*t ex- cellent preacher, lii-v .1 M IHiu^lass, whiiin 1 had thu pleasure of knowing in my younger daya. The emmignvtion to this par) of N. \V. T. Uiii spring has betyt Is-irg, and generally speaking, a if(n>d clas* of settlors, mostly fmm Ont., a goodly number being from the county of Bruce The acrnsije under crop this year wiH bo considerably in advance of last year, and all n.-ciii hopeful for good croj*, should the weather continue ss favorable for growth as il has been for seeding. The lateness of the harvest last year pre- vented as much Ml plowing being dime as many vriabed to, so that instead of plowing the ground this spring farmers scatter straw over tlie stubble and burn it off, then harrow the ground and sow the seed. Farming in this country is much easier work than u is in Ontario. There are nn stones or stumps, hills or hollows, the ground nice and level. Can hitch three honea or oxen on to a sulky plow and sit there from morning till night. I would like to give your ruauers an idea of the amount of grain taken in at Moosomin elevator for the past season, but I cannot get the information, at pres- ent. Possibly at some future time I may be able to do so. S.i far I like this country tine. One thing I don't like, aud it U this, there is n<> trout fishing. We all enjoy most ex- cellent health, and as yrt have no reason to regret our removal from Ontario. We Lave, met quite a number of old acquaint- ances, and even aome "f my old sch.M>] mates. It U cheering to again renew acquaintances and talk orer matters and things that occured many years, since. This is a good country for stock rais- ing. It costs a mere trifle to r.use an animal. Cattlo can be put into t ' here? nnd |>astured for J.V n. per month : horses or colts for iXfcts. per month Thu graas ii abundant and rich. Any sin. unit of hay can be had for the cut- tint;. A good <b-al of land is changing Hnnils, and in trie near future is likely to advance in price. Implement agents do an imineiiM business in this country. All thu manufactures arc represented. I have just received a letter fn-iu my son, at Kat Portage, in which ha says they have finished seeding !KX) acres of wheat, and about to commence seeding HO acre* of cut.-.. I must close, as I fear I have already trespassed too much on your valuable space. J. K. ANDERSON. Moosomin, May 5, 1891.
