BINNIE ON FARM CONDITIONS *th» Rural ConimitUe of the So- cial Service Council has sant que»- UooairM to raprc^entatire farmer* witk a viaw of aecuring a general •ipraaaioii of rural opinion on the imaiicration queution. Oaa of theae question sheets was MBt to T. H. Binnie of Grey County Chairman of the Legislative Commit- Ue of the U.F.O.. and Mr. Binnie's «aa««rs to the questionH put were both brief and clear. Mr. Binnie â- aid there was need of more labor on tfco kuid, but he did not favor bring- ing in immigrant laborers. "As thai* is' DO maney in farming at the yRaant time," he said, "it would be folly to induce immigrants to settle OB a Job in which there is no profit." Boaides this, he said the majority of thoao brought in during past years hav« not proved satisfactory. "Some be stated do not cnre ho^ or when thejr work and there are others who think they know it all and will not do what is wanted of them. Further the opportunity to make good as a farm laborer is not as favorable as it once was, as the prices received for farm produce arc too low as compared with prices of articles which farmers have to buy. For this reason farmers are not able to pay wages equal to those offered in cities, and immigrants, finding this out, will soon leave the land for the cities." The movement to the cities has now gone so far that there are more men than jobs in the cities to- day, and to bring in more from abroad would merely add to the number to be fed on charity in win- ter. Let immigration wait until pri- ces of manufactured goods come down or prices of farm products go up, is Mr. Binnie's conclusion.

New and Popular Dresses Fears of a premature burial have resulted in the formation of a soci- aty in England to effect reforms in the law of death certification. There is, however, nothing new in these fears, says John G'London's Weekly The Egyptians kept the bodies of the dead under careful supervision by the priests previous to embalming and until satisfied that life was ex- tinct. The Groeks were aware of the dangers of premature burial and of- ten cut off the Angers of a person believed to be dead before cremation. In modern times the fear of being buried alive has haunted many. Wil- ki«i Collins had this fear, and always left overnight on his dressing-table a note solemnly enjoining that, should ke be found dead, his supposed death was to be very carefully tested by a doctor. Hans Anderson always car- ried a note in his pocket to the same effect. Harriet Martineau left her doctor ten pounds to sec that her head was amputated before burial. Edmund Yates left twenty guineas with the provision that his jugular vain was to be severed. Lady Bur- ton (the widow of the famous trav- eller, Sir Richard Burton), who was subject to fits of trance, desired that her heart to be pearccd with a needle Premature burial is of the rarest oc- eurrence, and it is doubtful if many authenticated cases could be brought forward. » ^'WeVe Going To Have Some Fair We're going to have a fair, boys, we're going to have a fair; And all the folk that love to meet their neighbors will be there.

KARSTEDT LANTERN EXPLODED A BEE STORY The story of how Mr. Ellis of Egre- nont was attacked by bees has brought to our notice the account of another bee Incident in the same township in the «ame week. Two ladies of the 19th concession of the township were washing on their ver- andah when they were startled by a peculiar noise. On looking up they beheld a swarm of bees crossing the yard. In their haste to carry out their desire to capture the swarm they picked up a rinsing tub and an old rain coot, a monkey wrench and a handsaw and gave chase, making all the din possible. After being thus pursued for half a nik', over hills and fences, the bees came down, lit on a fence and were captured. This was quit* an episode for the ladica in the routine of farm Hfe. Th«y confess to a somewhat peculiar feeling when standing, hatlcss in the midst of a multitude of be«s, clad only in their sbort-aleeved, low-necked house dross- M, and congratulated themselves on their eacape from such painful injur- Im as be«a caa inflict.â€" Mt. Forest Confederat*. Saturday night about eight o'clock .the practically new bank barn of Mr. Adolph Deitz, whose farm adjourns ClfTord on the 17th concession of Howick, was a prey to the flames, together with a large percentage of his seoson's crop including fall wheat, barliey, hay etc. It appears Mr. Deitz had gone to the stable to do his evening chores. He hung the lantern down stairs while he went to tho loft to put down some feed, just as he got above he heard an explos- ion accompanied by a burst of flame. He had barely time to got out a team of horecs and a cow or two, the bam and contents being completely consumed. We understand Mr. Deitz had B fair amout of insurance on building and contents, but not enough to nearly cover his loss. â€" Harriston Review.
