The following morning we drove through ji fairly good country, making our first stop at Mr. Green's, of Ennerick, a AVt^lsh gentleman, lie has a very nice house and good premises, with well-timbered ])ark-like grounds and euti'ance drive.

The Yorkshire pigs, said to be of Mr. Sanders Spencer's breed, do little credit to their breeder. We next visited a neighbouring farm, owned by Mr. Donaldson, of about 400 acres, with good house and buildings ; a very nice herd of ])ure-bred Shorthorns, with a good bull in service, and a good flock of Shropshire sheep. Mr. Donaldson has three sons who have left Ontario for the AVest, purchasing 320 acres each in Manitoba, in the Brandon district, and they are doing well. His reason for this is that young men can start cheaper in jNIanitoba than in an old province like Ontario. AVe returned to Woodstock, going on by train to London for the night, where a Mr. J. Gibson, of Delaware, joined us. London is a nice town o£ some 35,000 inhabitants. We left in the e
