[" Established 1897, SHEEBEOOKE, QUE., TUESDAY, FEBEUAEY 28, 1911 ONE CENT DISCUSSED SHEEP RAISING IN THE EASTERN TOWNSHIPS, Farmers at Lennoxville Claim That Sheep Being Worried Has Much to Do With Industry Not Being Taken Up\u2014Government Experts Were Present to Give and Take Advice\u2014Will Petition Provincial Government For Law to Regulate Tax on Dogs, A meeting was held yesterday afternoon in the Town Hall, Lennoxville, of the farmers of the district who are interested in the raising of sheep.Mr.W.A.Drydon, of Brooklyn, Ont., and Mr.W.T.Hitch, of Ottawa, were present.These two gentlemen have been commissioned by the Department of Agriculture at Ottawa to investigate the sheep industry in the ¦»* ü êêÊ I MR.J.A.COCHRANE, Lennoxville, who presided at meeting of sheep raisers.United Kingdom, United States and Canada.They have already visited Great Britain, and are just returning from the Maritime Provinces.Their object is not so much to impart information as to get information, and discuss, the question of sheep raising.Mr.J.A.Cochrane presided over a fairly good representation of the leading farmers and breeders of this section.As stated, there were no special remarks by the two commissioners from the Government, but those present plied questions, and in return were asked conditions, etc., of the industry in this sèction.From what could be gathered it would appear that the Department of Agriculture is very anxious that the raising of sheep should he gone into more extensively by the farmers of the Dominion.The object is to get the farmers interested, and at the same time enable the department to get on to various conditions in connection therewith throughout the Dominion, so that a standard could be set with the breeds best adapted to the conditions of the country, and at the same time be in the best interests of the farmer.Both Mr.Drydon and Mr.Hitch expressed themselves as being well pleased with the sheep raising industry here so far as it went.The farmers in this section were getting more for their wool than the farmers of the Maritime Provinces.What they wanted to do was to pay more attention to the fleece so that when it was sold to the wool buyer they would get a better price than at present.When they did not take the care to have the fleece tied up so that the wool sorter could separate the fine wool from the cc'i'.-sc, they would not expect but to get a uniform price.If it was graded, they would get a graded price.Several of the farmers present said that they got no encouragement from the buyers in Sherbrooke.Even if they did take care of the fleece and put it up as it ought to be, they got no more than the man who took no Pains with it, and the buyer would put their wool in one common heaP.MUS EVE OF SEIEM EMUS.Heavy Boiler Exploded and Tore Through Roof of Laundry.LANDED ON TOP OF HOUSE AND WENT TO LOWER FLOOR, BUT NO ONE WAS INJURED.Pittsburg, Pa., Feb.28\u2014(Special) \u2014The miraculous escape of several families and a laundry full of workers occurred to-day, when a boiler weighing 1,500 pounds exploded in the laundry at Verona, a suburb, and tore its way through the roof of a building, and sailing through air, landed on the top of a house half a square away, in which lived \u2018 seven families.The huge cylinder ploughed its way through the roof to the lower floor without injuring anyone.The engineer of the laundry was the only one at all injured, and he had his face and hands scalded.POLL DEM« AT MR.J.H.M.PARKER, Lennoxville, well known stockman.It was pointed out that this practice would right itself if farmers took the pains to have the fleeces properly tied up.SHEEP WORRYING BY DOGS.The chief discussion, however, was around the worrying of sheep by dogs.Several of the older farmers spoke of the days of the long ago, when nearly every fanner had a small flock of sheep, but that many had.been compelled to give up sheep raising owing to the flocks being worried by dogs.Mr.Morris, K.U., said that this was a very important question to the farmer, and lie had been appointed to memorialize.the Government to see if some measure could not be introduced to check this evil.He did not expect that they would meet with success all at once, hut any measure that would tend to arouse interest in the breeding of sheep would be bene-licial to the country.Mr.Drydon explained the law as it was in Ontario.He said that it was now compulsory for all Township Councils to collect a dog tax.When a farmer had any sheep worried he notified the Township officials of the occurrence, and a valuation of two-thirds of the animals destroyed was paid by the Council.If there was any prosecuting to do, the Council carried that out.It took a number of years to bring the measure up to this stage.The fact that this law was in force did not do away with the sheep killing dogs in the province but it gave the farmer a certain amount of security that his interests would be protected.What they (Continued on Page 8.)

Congress to secure action on the Canadian reciprocity agreement by any vote which the senate may take, on the question, unless it.is plain to him that such vote is a real test on the merits of the agreement and not merely an attempt to avoid an extra session.Intimations were made yesterday that the President might be kept from convening Congress in extra session if some sort of a vote could be secured whether direct or not, tending to show strong opposition to the measure.Efforts were being made, it was said, to secure the votes of a number of members who were in I favor of the reciprocity but opposed to an extra session, the intimation being that the President would be satisfied with a test vote which showed that the opposition against ¦eciprocity would not be overcome by an extra

REFUSE TO DISCUSS \u201cMILLIONAIRE SHIP\u201d WHITE STAR COMPANY HEARS THE STORY OF AMERICANS AND NEW OLYMPIC.London, Feb.28.\u2014The White Star steamship officers will not discuss the story from Belfast to the effect that fifty American millionaires have chartered the new White Star steamship, Olympic for her maiden trip to convey themselves and their wives and families to Southampton for the coronation.It is true the builders are working day and night to finish the big steamship in time to get her share of passengers coming to the coronation and one official of the line suggested that the number of millionaires might he increased to fifty-seven so as to get \u201call the varieties.\u2019\u2019 He intimated that they could match pennies for the state suites.-1- ANIMALS THAT NEVER DRINK.Mr.B1 an ford, in his book on Abyssinia, says neither the doreas nor Benett\u2019s gazelle (two allied species) ever drinks.Darwin states, in his \u201cVoyage of-à Naturalist,\u201d that, unless the wind llamas of Patagonia drink, salt* water, in many localities they must drink none at all.The large and interesting group of sloths arc alike in never drinking.A parrot is said to have lived in the Zoological Gardens, London, for 02 years without a drop of water.It is often said that rabbits in a wild state never drink.The late Rev.J.G.Wood doubted whether this idea was correct, and recorded the fact that thev fed on the herbage when it is heavy with dew, and, therefore, practically drink when catiug.In the autumn and winter, when sheep arc feeding on turnips, they require little or n.o water.PNEUMONIA PLAGUE AÏ Sixteen Persons Have been Stricken With Disease.Annual Inspection Was Held Last Night.CONDUCTED BY MESSRS.DUFF AND BERUBE OF MONTREAL The annual inspection of the Free Industrial Drawing School was made last night by Councillors J.M.M.Duff, Montreal; 1).McManamy, Sherbrooke, and Secretary Mr.Berube, Montreal, all of the v vimcil of Arts and Manufacturers, uncer whose auspices the school is operated.The visiting gentlemen arrived on the evening train ana proceeded at once to the class' room in, Griffith Block.Tlie attendance of pupils was large, anil the exhibition of work excellent.The members of the Council carefully inspected the work done by the students of both departments, the architectural and the mechanical That, they were well pleased with the work of the Sherbrooke school was plain by the remarks they made later on in the evening.The school has had a successful season so far, the average attendance being good.The instructors.Messrs.Robert Wyatt, Graham Wilson, and J- A.Audet have spared no pains to have the students make satisfactory progress in their work.At nine o\u2019clock Mr.McManamy called on Mr.Berube, the Secretary, to address a few words to the students.In opening his remarks the speaker said that in Ids capacity of secretary it was not in his line to make speeches, that privilege being left with his superiors.He cpuld not help, however, congratulating the teachers and scholars on flic excellent work they had done.He had carefully examined the work and was confident rimt when it was sent to the annual exhibition in June the Sher-biooke school would have reason to he proud of the quality of their drawings.Mr.Berube pointed out to tlie students the inestimable value of drawing in any trade.They would find later in life that their knowledge of drawing would he ,the means of helping them make more rapid progress.Before closing Mr.Berube expressed on behalf of President Thomas Gauthier, his disappointment at not being able to attend.The President of the Council of Arts and Manufactures was deeply interested in the ULcrbrooke school.He had authorized Mr.Berube t0 make the announcement that he would offer four prizes to the Kfi'rbrooke school, two for the mechanical department and two for the architectural.He would leave it to the teachers to give the prizes as they saw fit.This announcement was greeted by a round of applause from the students.Mr.,1.M.M.Buff followed Mr.Berube and gave a most encouraging address.He, too, regretted the absence of the President, Mr.Gauthier.Mr.Duff spoke of the golden opportunity that was offered the.young men of Sherbrooke to improve themselves through the agency of the Free Industrial Drawing School.In the days of his boyhood money could not buy the training they are now receiving free of charge.In the Sherbrooke school they were particularly fortunate in having an excel'cnt staff of teachers.In many souu-ds all the students had to do was to copy, here they were trained how to change the scale from an 'n'.ic long Liber- al, ana was at one time editor of dent and General Manager of Ogilvie Flour Mills Company, says , J it will not he a good thing and Mr.i J Thompson\u2019s opinion is worth some- !

attendance was very large.Air.A.J.Stevens presided at both meetings.\"THE McLAUGHLIN BUICK 83if üWiODSLJS Are the Biggest Actual Values in Automobile World the The Reasons Why Extreme rigidity of chassis construction.The public have grown sick and tired of buying cars that do not stand up.The McLaughlin Buick have adopted a style and a standard of construction in their chassis that simply cannot weaken and that will stand up under the most trying tests.Three point suspension, full floating rear axle, split lock washers and cotter pins 0n every nut, Hyatt roller bearings, and a thousand and one other advanced features combined in this car, have produced an automobile of the highest engineering and mechanical construction.The McLaughlin Buick do not job out the tine work on their cars; they manufacture their parts, trim, paint and completely finish each of their machines.The result is a relined, elegant and faultless car that hasn't a peer for the money in the automobile world aod saves for their customers the profits that most producers are obliged to Pay to the different, manufacturers of special parts, as the most of so-called makers only assemble.The public is vitally interested in economy of upkeep and maintenance of any car.and in the McLaughlin Buick this is reduced to a minimum.Its evenly balanced construction, its improved clutch and smooth running motor save tire trouble and afford comfort to the user.GET THIS FACT FIRMLY FIXED IN Y'OUR MIND\u2014The McLaughlin Buick is not a toy car or a dinky looking car.It is a car of speed and class plus size ; it is a roomy car, plenty of strength, and a.car that any man is proud to own.G.A.LeBARON & SON REPRESENTATIVES FOR EASTERN TOWNSHIPS 201 Wellington St.(LeBaron Block) Sherbrooke, Que.| Letters to the

issue of yesterday, under the above heading, might be thought by some to be an authorized report of the proceedings of the Vestry of Christ Church, I feel constrained to ask leave to make one or two slight corrections on points with regard to which there might possibly be some regrettable misunderstanding.1.\tThe purpose of the hall is to promote greater unity and loyalty among the members af the congregation of Christ Church.If, however, at the same time, it, is found useful by others for social purposes, and is instrumental in promoting kindly social relations between the members of the Church of England and of other religious bodies in East Angus, it will be serving a double purpose, and the Vestry is hopeful that this may possibly prove to be the case.There is, however, not the slightest ! intention on the part of the Vestry of Christ Church to suggest that there is need of greater unity and loyalty on the part of those outside of the Anglican Communion, as might possibly be inferred from the statement made by your correspondent of yesterday.2.\tWhile it is true that donations from any source willingly offered will be gratefully received, it is only fair to the outside public to explain that the Vestry is not addressing an appeal for assistance to those upon whose generosity the Church of England can make no claim.Thanking you.for kindly allowing space for this correction, I am, Y\"ours very truly, B.WATSON.Incumbent of Christ Church.East Angus, Feb.24th, 1911.THE RECIPROCITY QUESTION.Editor Record.Sir :\u2014Referring to the letter from your Lennoxville

give some j reasons in favor of it, for to my j mind, his long winded letter consisted of a number of contradictory and ridiculous statements, and not a soli tary argument in favor of it.For instance he first quotes poetry to show that the cruel and bloodthirsty methods of the Roman Empire are, or should be, the gospel of to-day.\u201cMight is Right,\u201d says lie, whilst in another part of his letter he says, \u201cCanada can no longer be ruled on the same lines as in the past, that evolution knows no finality, but we must ever march with the times,\u201d where is the consistency in two such statements ?How can we follow the barbarous methods of centuries ago, and still keep up to the standard set by a modern civilization ?Further he claims that it is the country with the big army and navy to enforce their, claim that get the best of it every time, and to this fact he claims that Uncle Sam has always had the best of the deal with Canada.I wonder did your correspondent ever hear how the rights and boundaries of the Newfoundland fishermen were settled last year, after J00 years negotiations, several times almost ending in war.Were they not settled by arbitration at the Hague convention ?And is it not generally admitted by all the leading writers in both coun tries that Canada easily got the best of the bargain ?But the part of his epistle that amused me was where he says \u201cCertain manufacturers are making a great outcry against reciprocity, a noise out of all proportion to their numbers or usefulness, they are simply howling at the roadside of the world as it marches grimly by.They might as well get on their bind legs and kick at the moon.\u201d The idea of the roadside marching grimly by, is very good, beautiful.But Mr.Editor, just fancy the the manufacturers \"standing on their hind legs kicking at the moon.\u201d Say, have they got a special breed of manufacturers at Lennoxville ?He also mentions that Canada is intersected with railways and splendid waterways.Does our learned correspondent know from whence came the money to build and develop those Splendid railways and canals ?Was it from his cousins to the south \" 1 guess not.Does he know that for the year ending June 30th last, it was calculated that a sum no less than $138,512,000 came to Canada from England, whilst i the Monetary Times gives the figures for the last five years at over 695 million dollars.And now after the hardest part of the pioneer work has been done, and the vast resources of Canada have been opened up by the aid of British capital, British enterprise, but above all by the true spirit of British independence which characterizes the true Canadian, our friend would have us( calmly hand these resources over, to be exploited for the benefit of the United States capitalist.And for what ?He says they will send us fruit which we cannot grow, and we will send them ditto.Does our learned friend know that the fruit growers of Ontario and British Columbia are more bitter against reciprocity than the manufacturers are ?and does he think it right that their industry should be sactiticeil to the interests of the farmer, or any other section of the community ?He further says, the U.S.capitalist is on our ground this very hour.I agree with him, lint what brought him here ?The I.H.C.and scores of other manufacturers.What brought them ?Was it not tlie tariff wall which our friend would have us pull down ?One more nut for our friend to crack and 1 have done.If he has watched the trend of recent events in Uncle Sam\u2019s land, lie must surely know that at the next election over there, it matters not which party goes in Power they are both pledged to lower their ' tariff.Canada would \u2019 then get all the concession she needs without granting anything in return.President Taft was well aware of this when he made his \u201cgenerous\u201d offers of reciprocity, which in my opinion is just a cute Yankee dodge to get something for nothing.Thanking you in anticipation, I remain, Yours respectfully, J.E.LOCK, East Sherbrooke.THE POPE HORSE AND THE S.P.0.A.Editor Record.Sir:\u2014There was a large attendance of fanners at the Queen\u2019s Hotel on Saturday, the occasion being a meeting of the Sherbrooke County Agricultural Society, as it being market day.During the forenoon, it was noised around that the \u201cPope\u201d horse was to lie put up to auction by the H.P.O.A., a society for the prevention of cruelty to Animals.As a consequence a large number of farmers went out to the stables to see the horse.On making an examination of the injury from which the horse had been suffering they were, amazed to think that any individual, much less a society for the prevention of cruelty to animals would attempt to dis pose of a horse in the condition * in which this animal is for dollars and cents.It would tie utterly impossible for any farmer or Individual to drive this horse through the streets of Sherbrooke or any other progressive town, without being arrested for cruelty to animals.As a matter of fact it is doubtful if this horse has strength enough to be able to walk a block, ft is suffering from a terrible wound on his foreleg, which is so bad that the joint oil has leaked from the ankle joint, and the horse for humanity's sake should have been destroyed.This horse has been kept at tlie Queen's Hotel under veterinary treatment for about six weeks, and it is the opinion of ail the farmers who saw the horse on Saturday morning that he will never bn any better than he is today.He is fifteen years of age and altogether out of condition.The officers of the Society were approached and asked not to dispose of this horse by auction: and that if it was necessary to procure the money that was paid for the horse, being $19 in order to defray expenses, the farm ers would have, for humanity\u2019s sake, contributed that amount.The farmers were of the opinion that any society that calls itself a society for the prevention of cruelty to animals that would dispose of a horse in this condition was a disgrace to any civilized community.The writer also telephoned the president of this society and the latter informed the writer that the horse was not being sold to work, but to be taken care of.That would mean that the horse will be put into a glass case.Anyone with common sense is aware that no horse is purchased for this purpose.When a given nrice is put up.the purchaser expects that he will be recompensed for the same.It is very often the case when a farmer or any other individual drives into town with a horse that is inclined to kick, and for the protection of himself as well as that of the genera] public, is obliged to put a check on that horse.The probability is that lie has only gone a short dist- anco down Wellington street, when he is approached and requested to remove the check.If the officers and officials of the Society of Prevention to Cruelty to Animals had a little common sense and knew when a horse was abused, the society then would be a benefit to the community.The man who bought this horse will never be able to take him to his destination, several miles away unless he loads him on a waggon drawn with other horses.The above are absolute facts which can be backed up by a large number of the leading farmers of Sherbrooke County, and their opinion should be quite equal to that of the S.P, C.A.Yours truly, J.H.M.PARKER.Willowdale Stock Farm, Lennoxville.The President of the S.P.C.A.on being shown the foregoing letter stated, \u201cWhen the horse came into the hands of the Society on the night Dope disappeared, it was taken to the Queen\u2019s Hotel and a veterinary surgeon called under whose care the animal had been ever since.The veterinary assured us that the horse would be well again in a short time.The curator of the Pope estate was consulted and consented to the sale of the horse which took place with the consent, of the V.S.Several well known horsemen upon the ground expressed the opinion that the horse would be all right again in a few' weeks.The purchaser of the horse is a reliable man and bought him with a full knowledge of the care and treatment that the horse would require and that he would be unable to work him for months yet.Officials of the Society were on the ground prepared to hid the horse in should it appear likely that he would fall into the,hands of one not likely to take proper care of him.We feel that the work the Society has done in Sherbrooke and its, vicintiy speaks for itself.Mr.Parker to the contrary notwithstanding.\u201d CANADIAN AND WORLD NEWS.(Continued from Page 1.) and formed a new Cabinet, from which all elements not, thoroughly in symuathy with his attitude toward labor had been
