PRESERVATION OF-HOME TRADE. ALDERGROVE NEWS Mr. David Grey, student missionary under appointment for the next six months, has removed his family here and is now occupying the house known as Dean's cottage. Mr. Thompson from New Westminster, has been here on a visit looking after his property on Jackman road and within one and a half miles from the boundary line. Farmers have finished their potato planting and quite a few have also tidied up their gardens and made matters look pleasant. The growing on the main thoroughfare is also engaging the attention of some, whilst Jos. Bell looks as if he intends starting chicken ranching on a large scale. COMIMITTEE MEETS A meeting of the Agricultural Committee of the Board of Trade was held on Monday evening with a full attendance. Various matters of interest were discussed. The request of Secretary Wilkie, of the Fraser Valley Publicity Bureau for exhibits to be displayed in the Progress Club rooms, Vancouver, was dealt with, and exhibits would be forwarded as soon as obtainable.

There is too much waste between, the farmer, and the consumer. TJiis may be looked upon as not the .fault of any one factor but rather that, of all.'

The mother ci-oav sits on her nest, her mate flies far Avith hungry zest, no aid or favor does he beg, but brings her back a turkey's egg! The lazy buzzards in the air seem free all concern or care. The busy hen protects her brood and clucks out her solicitude, and then Avith malice in her head she scratches up the flower-bed. The rooster with tail-feathers curled crows out defiance to the world.

The niilk-coAv's queen, Ave'll all agree (or milch-coAv, as the case may be.) The farmer in the month of May, gels up before the break of day, and by the fitful lantern's gleam he feeds and curries down his .team.

Council then adjourned-; NOT AS IT SHOULD BE ADVERTISED For a truth it may be said that the Fraser Valley is not exploited as it should be, especially for its scenic.and climatic resources. The east has .but a faint idea of the natural conditions that makes living in the Fraser Valley so delightful. If the cities of Vancouver and NeAv Westminster Avould'advertise the Fraser Valley along ^Avith their cities telling of the absence of cxi-\"'\"*\"- \"---at- and cold, and the fertility cf the soil, they Avould not only be dn-'ng themselves a great deal of-good but Avould be building up a country district adjacent, to, these towns'-that would give employment to the surplus population that is ever wending- its Avay to the city where it is hard to always get employment, and be tributary to the cities. ' '' One has only to slnnd on th? streets of- Vancouver-to see how the, town-has been advertised. There arc emigrants from all parts of the' Avorld, avIio apparently know of no place on the coast but' the city of Vancouver. If the words \"Fraser Vallpy\" Avere upod along with the word \"Vancouver\" it would be doing these new people a justice and holpin**: to peoplo a rich and fertile district. Sonic such advertising is done, but not enough. STRAYED���������To my place, a Grade Jersey Heifer, about seven months old, ;on December 1st. .Owner- can clahn same by paying far notice and board.
