THURSTON, - - Editor r. J. THURSTON - Assoc. Editor H. Corbett Reeve ! Election For Reeve By Acclamation In Flesherton PLANT TREES AND PROSPER. After cogitating over the matter for several years, the County Council of Dufferin at its meeting last week, ' resolved to proceed with its scheme of reforestation. The county will ac- quire one thousand acres of land, to cost about $7,5UU, in the township of | Mulrnur, and will begin the work of tree planting early next spring. The enterprise of our neighbors is to be commended. We presume tne territory to be acquired is of a kind that can be easily spared from ordi- nary farm use, and there can be no doubt that the people of the county will in due course reap a full iru.n. from their enterprise. Jn thi.; connec- ' tion might we ask what progress has been made by our Grey County legis- lators in their reforesting projects? Vfe trut the County Council will not weary in well doing. All over the county they have opportuniay to plant trees that, ii taken reasonable care of mny at a measurably early date prove <>t great advantage to the taxpayer, nntl incidentally a source ' of revenue to the county. There art- hundred!' of spots throughout the county where nothing i; now pro- duced, that might hav- tiec.; gi^-winfe, and there are many farms on which formerly mfgnifi .ent trees grew, now covered with scrub, and t<><> stony to clear as farm land, that might xvell be taken possession of by the author- ities and planted with trees that in due course will be of much value 1= Die community. In central Europe they have to-day tragnificent forests as a result oi publir ypiiited action in 'turning t<< account siu-h lands as could not read- ily be ei'Hivated as farms. In Ger- many and Fiance, indeed, many of the ( highway .> arc lined with fruit and nut trees, and made jre liable to the , Riicultural population.

B. Whittaker is coming out against J. A. Davis, who has rcresented the township as Deputy-Reeve for the past year.

The village hall was only half fill- ed with those interested enough to attend the nomination, and every member of the 1'JSO Council gave an excellent report of his stewardship during the year, Reeve Corbett deal- ing mainly with county matters and the township road system. Mr. T. R. M.-K(-nzie gave excellent service as chairman of the meeting. The National Anthem brought the pro- ceedings to a close.

The attendance was not large, and ; only one of the old councillors, Mr. Fred Mathewson, was present to give an account of their stewardship. Reeve McTavish dealt at short length with street work, but did not touch ! or> county matters. H. A. McCauley, who opposes him for the Reeveship again this year, ci itici/.ed the work done during the past year. The meeting closed with the sing- ing of tha National Anthem. At the village nomination Monday evening two new public school trus- tees were appointed to replace two who dropped out. The new men are Robert Richardson and W. S. Inkster. Thoy replace F. Stuart and E. Mc- Killop. Charles Stewart was re-el- ected as trustee. EDITORIAL NOTES. Only a month t. Christmas Eve. and five weeks to the Scotchman's Hogmanay.

The continued line weather enabled farmers to get the odd work finished and they are in fail circumstances to greet the win- ter months. One reprrettable feature has been the lack of rain, as a result of which many \vrlls and cisterns have run dry. The dry weather, however, has given the farmers aii opportunity to kill out twitch grass nnd dpstru.-tive weeds. The mild wtatiier enabled farmers in mjmy regions to delay housing their stock, thus !ivtnp: a considerable quantity of feeds.

During the Fall, Winter and Spring months he pur- chased 600 lb. of this Poultry Specific. We received a letter froj> him the latter part of August, stating that he was amaied at the results he obtained, that hit poultry were entirely free from worms, and that during August of thif year hi production wa* 1'X) larger than last year. It will pay every poultrynum, no matter what feed be is using, 01 if he mixes his own. to add one pound of Royal Purple Poultry Specific to each hundred pounds of feed during the whole season the poultry are shut in. While this great tonic de- troya the worms, it at the some tL-jie tones up the birds, keeping their digestive organs active the same as if they were on range, compelling them to take from 15% to 20 mere good from the feed they cat. This is naturally reflected in increased eas production. Worm* in poultry is often mistaken for other disemes. The birds becotre very thin and show symptoms of diarrhoea. When badly infested they will die. Put up in 30c. and 60c. packages, $1.75 and $6.00 tins, also 100-lb. air-tight bags $14.00. For sale by 4,600 dealers in Canada.
