MARITIME STOCK BREEDERS’ ASSOCIATION —_—_——-- = The Co-operative Farmer remarks, we believe with truth, that our farmers in the Maritime provinces are behind those of most parts of the world in the adoption of pure bred domestic animale. To help along in the general uplifting of our stock interests and to band together for mutual strength and encouragement our few breed- ers of pure bred s'cck, in December, 1896, the Maritime Stock Breeders’ Association was formed. To explain more fully the | objects of the Association we say it was, formed — lst. To draw the breeders together, to; discuss questions for their mutual advane | tage and defence—such as securing freight rates on raliways, recOgni{ion from ex- hibition managements, fair treatment as to; registration ot siock and many other things. 2ud.

He is going back second clase. Times have changed. ~— Evidently the Boer generals know well how to turn to account the mobility of their mounted armies. The facility with which bedies are moved from goin. to “point makes them botb able to sbun attackeand to etrike back with combined ‘torce. When the shells fall too near or ! search tco closely a given position, it i8 easy for mounted infantry to vanish out of range. It is is also easy for such a force to mass its stresgth upon a par- ticular point. Thus to the | Boer host ie given a qualily resembling what is called ‘“‘zapidity of circulation” in monetary parlance. Where money circulates rapidiy a thousand dol lars may be used often enough to buy fifty | theusand dollars worth of goods, whereas when the circulation is slagnant the same sum may not be turned over often enough to buy five thousand dollars worth. So mobile troope may be used often enough to doatotal amount of military werk equal to that of a much greater but more sta'ionary force opposed to them. a British Press. Loxpoy, Dec. 22.—The morning papers give prominence to Lord Roberis’ message aod most of them comment edit:ria'ly upon it. The Times “In an admirable message to America and Canada, Lord Roberts has given an adeqaate and wel- B4V8 ; come expression tO our national senti- ments.” The Daily Telegraph eays: “We feel sure the message will be welcomed in both the United States and Canada. Lord Roberts described in uppronriate words what all Eoglizhmen fee!. There is noth- ing lke adverrity to teat the va'u2 of our friends, and the sympathy of the United States and the magaificent devotion of our colonies stand out in strong contrast with the cold carping aad envy of some centin: ental nations.” The Standard aaye: “The British empire ison its mettle and is giving the world a hint as to the extent of its latest resources ‘pn fighting material. Nowhere is the demonstration watched with more interest, aod we believe with more satis~ fection, than amovg our kinsmen in tke United Staies, whose sympathy wil be still further aroused by Lord Roberts’ admirable message.” Splendid photographs of Rev.
