L. C's last contribution to our little controversy is certainly a n.o't}e.wairithy .p.e/rformanv.Qe.- .He appears to have thought it would be. the .last word in the argument and has accordinly taken the liberty of misquoting wholesale from my previous letter. Such a practice is' neither honorable or courteous and it is ray first experience of having had to rebuke an bppon-, ent TWICE for deliberately distorting and misquoting my words [< reveals both the;"sore straights to'which hef haB been reduced and the weakness of the cause he has bo strongly /espoused.. But it is' niolti my intention to ��������� reply at great length to his statements, as such would be merely to again traverse ground that has already .been covered. His evasions, writhings and twistiriga are so 'pfainly obvious that a repetition of my arguments *,in favor, of boxing is 'not' necessary to complete his- diBcom-' fiture. I can ,weU understand his, objection to the words, "eternal:, principles" and particularity- to the last word "principles." for reasons which my foregoing remarks', will make, clear. Hie ���������sejf-conig'rajtu'la^ tion at finding himself in harmony with some of my views,' I sincerely rejoice in, for, it indcates a.greater breadth, of mind oln his part than apparent in his earlier. letters., I merely., wish, to; take "J. L. C.1' up on one point which will clear Ly demonstrate the false paraidise (many people call it another paradise) in which he is living He has more- than once congratula ted himself that there'are "few in our fair community who are organisers or fighters in this 'ine or even lovers of this kind of sport." I put it to him that, supposing Tom my Burns and Sam Lahgford were billed to fight in Abbotsford, how many male' members of the co'ra- riiunity would he, find imbued with such strong prejudices against that "kind of sport" that they would refuse' to , witness the encounter? Would he be able to count them on the fingers of both hands, or would one hand suffice? The "proof of the pudding is in the eating thereof" and I venture to Bay that if "J. L. C." had to swallow his own words intheevent of such a contingency "he would suffer such a bad attack of indigestion that he would notbe) in a hut- ry again to rush into> print or make such rediculous staternents. I merely put forward this instance to 'show that "J. L. C." pious assumption of righteous superiority like,the rest of his arguments, is at direct variance with hard actual facta. He has not hesitated to try "hitting below the belt" in his wiitings and by doing so has shown himself'ignorant of the rules of box ln,g and unscrupulous in his conduct of a controversy. Hoping he may be able to derive some solace from this reply, which I thank you, Mr. Editor, for having quite justly permitted me to make ^ Youts faithfu ly H. H.

MAKE HAY WHILE THE SUN , ' SHINES.' The problem confronting every farmer and stockman in Alber ta this year is that of providing roughage for the coming .wincer. Hay will not only be high but very high. The timothy ��������� crop is light stiaw of all kinds with the exception, of winter wheat is short? Every market that kid to be sup plied from Alberta, in the past' will look to Alberta,, again. Besides gain this year for food. Besides this other points which have'produced enough to supply their, own needs in previous years or ha,d food to export will import largely during the coming winter days those sections which have been favored with rain can do much to supply them" and it behooves" the farmers of those sections, to do ���������their- utmost to tha tend, and ./by-, bo doing' they', will1 be well paid; for,- ���������their-efforts.-' ��������� .' '^ .Every acre of-gras s land -that can be. mowed should be mowed. In 'driving ��������� through the country ;we sec numerous, places in'which half a day's, brushing will enable one. to secure a ton or more of hay. Ther is no kind of farm work which will pay better this year'than-brushing out these places. An acre, of -early sown-rye: and- u'sed as a' pasture' will'easily "take the place of. a ton .of. hay durin,g the\Late fall ahd-: spring! .months and every farmer should -sow at least a few acrea.. The above is an appeal of ah Alberta paper to its readers to se- secure the winter supply of hay.

Lamb lost a cent a pound and mutton and veal also showed a slight effect of the competition among the venders. As an offset to the falling off in prices of the meats, eggs advanced two cents a dozen in the wholesale price, under stress of heavy buying by Vancouver and local firms.
