The competition was not vary severe*, however, except in bar- red rocks and the single comb leghorn varietit-H, -if which there was <|uite a large nu.ubrr of entries. The exhibition A'as a one-day affair and did not enable .hi 1 judge to do full justice to the biitls, although he gavt* ijeiieial sUii-faction so :ar as he went. Only one bird was scored a barred rock be!ont>ing to Mr. liicob L'mghexd of Wodehouso and it was allowed H"^ points.

A Reason Why The mail order houses, insane specu lation, and the trek to the Wet,t are the three great influences which aro sapping the life out of the itiral sections o Ontario. But there will bo a reaction some time. The rural population wil awake some day to the conclusion that i in time lhi-i- ' ii.n .- should stop. Main of the piosptrous villages MI. I town? that used to cover the province ar< gradually falling by the woysido, simply because the rural population has beei sending ihe money that should go t< support these towns away to the city li let ihe big moguls of mail order house buy sleani yachts and endow hospitals Only thore towns ithich have developed into manufacturing centres and to i certain extent are self-supporting, have not felt the effects. Would it not bi fairer il this money was kept at homi and distributed amongst the numerou: busins places which indirectly snppor the schooli", the churches, the librarte. and "id, i institutions that make life iu the rural sections more pleAsant, mor< especially whon the local merchants can in nine cases out of i en, meet the com petition of the mailorder houses and cai frequently do better.
