And the goal ofâ€"all that‘s mortal Opens wider »till the portal, To the land otf the immortal, every Farmers‘ Club Meets.â€"A very imâ€" portant meeting of the Farmers‘ Club was held at the West Montrose hall on the last evening of August. The subject before the mecting, whether it is profitable for the Ontario farmâ€" er to grow fall wheat, was ably disâ€" cussed. Mr. Byron Letson, in a thoughiful address, pointed out the chief objections to the growth â€" and sale of wheat from the farm, how it lessens the plant food ain the soil, and when the matter of profits are fully considered the speaker thought that the growing of oats would prove more remunerative to the agriculiturâ€" ist. _ On the other hand, Viceâ€"presiâ€" dent Woods was of the opinion that a limited crop of wheat from 10 to 20 acres would prove of great advanâ€" tage to the farmer. Mr. Fred Letson ably defended the growth of wheat, maintaining that it was a sort of reâ€" proach to the farmer not to be able to grow his own bread on his land, and asserting that. the growth of wheat put the busy work of the harâ€" vest more ‘equally throughout . July and August. The yield of fall wheat ranges from 25 to 30 bushels per acre, and sometimes considerably more when the season is favorable and the land in a high state of cultiâ€" vation. The speaker therefore conâ€" cluded that fall wheat was still an important source of profit in ®ixed farming. This discussion was followed by a most interesting programme of vocai and instrumental music and humorâ€" ous readings and recitations. These discussions on agricultural topics will undoubtedly prove more and more intercsting in the long ev cnings of autumn and winter. During the business part of the ~roceedings ‘the committee have . deâ€" cided to purchase an organ and wiil henceforward _ have an instrument ready at hand for all gatherings in the hall.

J. Lockie Wilson gresided and delivered hbis annual presidential address. There was little discussion on the resolut.ons passed, s there was apparently little differâ€" ence of opinion in the meeting. Resolutions Passed. That we ask the railway commission to equalize and regulate express rates upon an equitable basis without waitâ€" ing for any formal complaints. That we endorse the federal ownerâ€" ship of longâ€"distance teiephone and telegraph lines, and regard the transâ€" mission of messages by these means &As mduuy belonging to the federal posâ€" system. That we favor the enforcement by federal legislation of a twoâ€"centâ€"aâ€"mile passenger rate whenever the passenger earnings shall exceed $3,000 a mile. That we commend the Federal Govâ€" ernment for putting express rates unâ€" der the control of the railway commisâ€" sion, and the Provincial Government for its power act, its municipal teleâ€" phone act, and its reservation of the Gillies limit in the interests of the genâ€" eral public. _ 2 ols In all the discussion of the economâ€" ic value of Niagara as a powerâ€" proâ€" ducer, it has been evident that there is no desire on the part of the most confirmed utilitarian to destroy the scenic beauties of the cataracts, This is commendable, for the Falls in themselves are too wenderful and too beautiful to be shouldered out of the way by commercialism, For a hundâ€" ‘red years or more they have been a show place for the world. Some of the greatest European dignitaries have crossed the ‘ocean to see them. More will do likewise in the future, particularly in view of the fact that the new Clifton House is open to travelers. The hotel is a marvel of comfort and convenicnce. _ Neither time nor money has been spared to secure for its furnishing and equipâ€" ment the best on the market. _ For example, while it might have becn possible for the hotel to secure an orâ€" dinary piano for a mere song, in view of the advertising importance of placâ€" ing an instrument there, the manageâ€" ment preferred to secure the best, and therefore purchased a fine Old English Gourlay plano. Certainly the instrument will add to the pleasure of a stay at the Clifton House, as its pure and lovely tone will delight the musicâ€"loving guests of that famâ€" ous hostelry. There will be a dupljâ€" cate of the instrument in the exhibit of the firm of Gourlay, Winter â€" and Leeming at the Toronto Exhibition, and art lovers would do well to see it. Naturally, the design is extreme 1y plain, it is the apotheosis of the right angle, and the straight line,‘ yet it is clegant and graceful. The system of so vencering the perpendicâ€" ular parts that the grain of mahogâ€" any will be vertical prm‘idrsnmnstj pleasing contrast with the horizontal vencers of the rest of the case. Thr‘ Old English Gourlay is bound to beâ€" come very popular. ‘ 'I'hnil recognizing the right of ownerâ€" ship, that the people of Ontario have in the mineral wealth of this province, we‘ ask the Provincial Government to levy a progressive royalty upon all mineral output for the benefit of the general public. $ e o+ _ ‘That no Cabinet Minister should be connected with any corporations seekâ€" ing or li cely to seek, legislative favors. That ve are opposed absolutely to the policy of granting bonuses and bounties, either in money or in public lands, to private corporations, and that the g:buc domain should be reserved for the actual settlers. C 5 That we affirm our belief in the jusâ€" tice of the main principle of the Pettyâ€" plece bill, and regard the recent railâ€" way taxation act to the Provincial Govâ€" ernment as both unjust to the avor:fo taxpayer and as discriminating unfairâ€" ly between the railways themselves. We demand that the assessment and taxation of corporate property be simiâ€" lar to those of farm and otker private property. We shall be satisfied with nothing less than the equalization of taxation. Will bg in Berlin, September 15th, Walper House That we are emphatically opposed to the increase of expenditure for miliâ€" tary purposes as being both unnecesâ€" sary and demoralizing, as diverting our national resources into unprofitâ€" able channels, and as tending to lower those ideals which should inspire the rising generation. â€" .
