Paving Completed Paving r;f Klesherttm streets was 'finished on Saturday (evening- and the equipment was moved to Mark- dale that evening, where. the King Paving Company commenced the- laying of cement Monday morning. A good job was made of the streets in town and when the boulevards are I grassed and the work finally finished, ; Hcsherton will be one of the finest looking villages in Ontario. New Central Markets CLEAN-UP TIME \Vith harvesting and threshing fin- ished, it is not too early to start preparation for the winter. If the stalle is not given its annual cleanup now, it may be neglected altogether.' The minimum attention should in- clude sweeping the ceilings and walls, scraping the floors and mangers and tin ii thoroughly white-washing every- thing in sight. l.ime is a great cleansing agent, and it is Ix-st when applied hot with n spraying machine. Then- are always odd j<i'>s that should "ended to l.efoi'e the cow.s are stabled for the winter.

A fair crop of alfalfa, ii'.o'o than sufficient to meet a heavy ho'iie demand, is looked for; there will be sufficient sv.-eet clover and ennuph alsike to supply the domestic demand though little left over for export; sonic timothy and pr<i'>a!>ly a Mt' crop of domestic red clover. Second growth fields, from which the bulK of the seed crop i; taken, are jy ex- cellent shape, unusually 'olcan and I looming abundanlyt. With a bigger duty on all clover and alfal,.'a n'lis year, farmers ar t . taking more in- ( -i in saving j-evd. Wrong Side Up When the xenlous but misguided settlers first began to break the dry belt in southern Saskatchewan, an old Indian observing the ploughed land stood Client for a time and then he grunted: "Uh! Wrong side up!" That prediction has long since proved to be only too true. At best it is only grazing land, and the sod should never have been broken. Three ySars out of five brought no- thing but disappointment, and now has come the terrible tragety of stark failure and abandonment. Governments should never have al- lowed promiscuous -settlement. Once people break land and build a "home they become so attached to the lo- cation that only tragedy or death will remove them from it. There- are plenty of Harmers in eastern Canada toiling away on land that is fit( only for grooving trees or grazing sheep. But they are at- tached to the property; it is home and there they will stick. Pior.cs:-- ing is not altogether a thing of the past in Canada. There is more land to be cleared and settled plenty of it. Governments should shoulder the responsibility and see to it that land unfit for farming is not turned "wrong side up." Far- mers' Advocate.
