 {IJ ,. if â-  .5; f f t ?t g n Last week's Advance eomes oat with half a oolnmn nnder the abore beading. The editor â- ays there are indicationa of a new hand in the editorial department J the Stamvasd. We mnst inlorm him ef his mistake, we neyer had one to CoiUrol that department of OUT paper, or even to assist. True, we have extra hands on. bat they are in the meohani- cal departiDent, and are no disoredit to the craft, oar fast increasing basiness has neces- sitated the employment of extra help in order to keep np the repatatioQ of the Stand ABD Office for despatch in filling orders. Then the Advance would have as believe that his letter oyer the siffnature of "Artfjmesia Farmer" was a feona.^ one, this is^ntirely too thin, we don't believe there is a farmer in Artemesia that woald believe it,and many uf them have expressed themselves to that ef- fect in our presence. But the latter part of his article is perhaps the most antrathful and uuf^ratefol production he has advanced towards ourselves, he says, "from the day he issuedjthe first number of the Advance.np to the present, our course has been one of uirceasing hostility towards him, and that we never missed an opportunity to yent our spleen on him." Now the pabhc who haye been constant readers of the Stansasd since the Advance issued it's first number, are the judges, and we leave the matter with them, knowing thev are more capable of judging, and more to be reliad on than our cotem, and we again affirm our position in theaemat- teis has ulways been in the defer8ive,and be- sides this we have not in any case sohcited work from any business man in Flesherton, other than general newspaper advertising, since the Advance first came ther3, though it belonged to our field and we dia their printing previously. We have canvased lor, and secured in Markdale Advertising for the Advance, and have on various occasions as- sisted him when an opportunity presented itself, and then he h^s the presumption to state that we have been his enemy from the start, of course theie affairs would not have been mentioned by us, but when we ar« as- sailed, in the way mentioned, it becomes our duty to defend ourselves and our position.

KeU's reply to Observer's letter pabliahed in the Htakdabd of the 19th iust., I be^ space in yoarinta«st- in^' paper to reply. The first statement that he makes about me, vis. that I invested and lost money in club 13, of Chicago, is a falsehood, and as I never invested one cent m said club, and therefore could not lope anything; but if I had, what, is it Mr. K's or any other person's basiness but it shows his meau disposition if he had the ohanee, by referiing to things of that class that are entirely foreign to the subjects under dis- cussion. Then he Fays bis first letter was purely and simply advocating the periodical importation of seed grain by our Provincial Government. His letter is now before me, and has been before the public some time and read, count, or measure it as we will at least two thirds of it is referring to other matters. Again, he says the matter of seed grain was well discuss^ by leading farmers, in January last, therefore he is net alone in the dtplorable ignorance in which he says I try to piace him. Now Sir, I positively deny that 1 accused him or anyone else in my let- ter, of ignorance in connection with the "ob- ject of seed grain, and no onebutanimb.cile or a person devoid of veracity would make such a sta.ement after reading my letter. Then he says he will leave an inteUigent pub- He to judge of the merits of the two letters. Well, I am glad he cannot do otherwise, but be appears to try to mislead ao far as he can. He wants me to write over my own name. Well, Sir, I have written nothing of which I am ashamed, but, as I know T. K. well I ex- pected he could not refute or answer the ar- guments advanced in support of the positions I took, and it he knew my name he would reply in a personal abusive style, and my suspicions have been confirmed, as he did not reply until he thousht he had found the writer. And again, your readers are gener- ally intelligent enough to judge tairly of the merits of the subjects discussed, without knowing the name of the writer. I neither made any false or groundless statements nor used ungentlnmanly language, but bicked up my argumenti! with facts vhich he does not attempt to refute, and if fair logical deduc- tions drawn from the arguments were ap- phed a httle severely, tbpy were not as much so as they might have been. He should learn wisdom thereby and noL expose himself before the public again. But ti.ere is an ol I adage and a true one I think to. that experi- ence will teach a fool. In regard to T. K.'s letter one must come to the conclusion he was not one, but that he belonged to a moie hopeless class â€" "A man wise in his own con- ceit;" Prov. 26, xii. One place he says it took me a long time to brood over his letter No. 1, and a piece farther on he advises mo to read before I wj-ite, what consistency? Whether he or I require such advice I leave the intelligent pubhc to judge. Angain, the only fact He adduces to prove that the Government is not easy oi approach is respecting deputations who waited on the Government advocating the aunposed claims of the T. G. fe B. 11. Co., which claims the Government refused to admit, an they bad paid, and did pay, all that they ^re«d to pay any B. Co., under the same circumstances. If the government had set a precedent of giving the above Co. what is wanted and asked, therj were several other R. Cos. that had equally as good claims, sowe of which did apply and others intended to apply. Experi- ence has shown that the Gove.'nmeut was wife and justifiable enough in the course they pursued in that respeci. Hence his argument based on that instance is ground- less. Then he refers to the creameries, and here he makes another mis-statement' He accuses me of saying he has wonderful ideas of a thermomt'er, lactometer c., when it wao a knowledge of the creameries I referred to, and he tries to convey the idea that I either think or said that the above named instruments are not used in testing milkc. and \rery generously proffers tojinstruct me!

There are t.ey«»I other statements and insinuations in T. K s letter which could easily be shown to be groundless, but enough for the present. I have written nething in replying to T.

E. oould instruct us in some things which we are better without kn.iwing, and which we do not wish to learn. We know, perhaps as well as Mr. K., the use of those instru- ments, but can he prove what he insinuates in his first letter that there is a salaried ofl cer attached to each of the four instruments he named and a pair of Newfoundland dogs ip connection with each creamery. Then he repudiates the idea of any man trying to es- tablish as a fact that there are no good butter makers in the country. I never stated, or even insinuated, such a thing, I quite be- lieve that a large majority of the women of the country are good butter makers with f.icilities at all favorable, and that they gen- erally take good care of it while in their por- ession, therefore it must be spoiled at the store cellars (where the greater part of it now goes) by coming in contact with foul odorg, careless handhng, fec. Creameries would remedy this if generally instituted. The butter of the Province would be more uniform and of a better quahty, hence the profits to the farmers would be ail and more than* I stated in my first letter. Then he says that the Agricultural Collece and Experimental Farm is not a benefit to the country genera ly. It is concerning this that I accused him of deplorable ignorance, as he is t^e cnlv man I ever heard make such a statement and I have heard hundreds of men who jtuow" more about the institution, the instruction given, the experiments tned, and benefits being derived and to be derived from the same, than T. K. knows, qr is evjer likely to know, and they all agretj that it is a great benefit to the farmer and an honor to the Province, and any honest, intelligent and average informed in^n will admit the Mune. He says that I objec.t to the Government assisting in getting Seed grain. This is mis- leaning, I do iiot object to it assistiBg in in- troducing au4 trying new kinds of seed But I do object to it being requested to bring in seed enough peribdieally to snpply every, iaimer in the Province. I gave some reason*^ in my last wUy I objected and T. K. has not refuted them. 1 still hold that it it would be satisfactory. Why, sir. years ago whm the council of Artemesia brought ingrain in this way (under pressing ner^ssity' in Bwuiy instauces it gave dissatisfaction, and that amount was small i^ oomoarison to what the Proyindja Govor^'suent would hjJve EVENING EXRESS TEAINS wiU run in direct connectioc with the Palace Steamships the "Spartan," "Africa" and "Magnet" of the Owen Sound Steam Ship Line which leave Owen Sound every TUESDAY and THURSDAY for Sault Ste.
