Townships\u2019 best advertisement.This great Fair has made this section of Canada known far and wide as the \u201cGarden of the Province,\u201d a title deserved because of the wealth and variety of its agriculture, displayed to best advantage within the grounds of the Exhibition, an impressive array to tens of thousands of visitors.The effect of the Exhibition upon Agriculture in Southern Quebec can hardly be over estimated.Year after year the farmers of this territory and of much more distant parts have met in competition.1 hey have returned home with new ideas for the improvement of their herds and the development of their fields.F or a third of a century this practical school of agriculture, this great annual demonstration, has been going on, and its growing usefulness has been maintained through the progressive policy of the directors, who have never been content with a mere repetition of a former fair, but have always sought to make a step forward with each succeeding year.Sherbrooke Fair takes second place only to the I oronto Exhibition in Canada, and this leading position has been won only by constant and intelligent efforts on the part of the management, coupled with the natural advantages which the Eastern 1 ownships offers and the generous financial support of the Quebec Government and City of Sherbrooke.1 he prizes are sufficient to attract the best, and with competition open to all, many splendid exhibits come from far beyond the bounds of Quebec Province.Special attention has always been given to the entertainment of visitors, realizing that the educational objects of the Fair can only be attained through large attendance and that the successful financing of the Exhibition, also, depends upon the crowds which pass through the turnstiles.In recognition of the splendid achievements of Canada\u2019s Great Eastern Exhibition, and in consideration of the new and greater needs of increased agricultural production, the Record is publishing this edition.Succeeding pages review in some detail the various branches of Eastern Townships Agriculture and discuss the possibilities of further development.The views of men who possess intimate knowledge of the subject and of Eastern Town- ships conditions have been sought.Each branch of Eastern Townships Agriculture is considered in detail.Consideration is given to the splendid dairy herds which have made this section of country famous.The beef strains and the further development of this department of live stock industry are discussed.The Eastern Townships has won an enviable name for its fine horses, both in speed and heavier classes, and special attention is given in these pages to the horse industry.Perhaps no brighter opening lies before Eastern Townships farmers than in the direction of Sheep Raising, and careful consideration is given this important phase of agriculture.The tremendous advance in bacon prices has turned the attention of farmers to this branch of farming and the Eastern Townships should reap an ever increasing harvest from this source.The Poultry exhibit is a feature of every Fair, but is there not room for great extension of this industry in the.Townships?Horticulture as well as the Live Stock branches of Agriculture, is considered in the columns of this edition.It is believed the whole will prove of interest and value and contribute something to the development along progressive lines of Eastern Townships Agriculture, for which Canada\u2019s Great Eastern Exhibition is striving.Canada\u2019s Great Eastern Exhibition is not in competition with the many successful County Fairs which are held in Southern Quebec, and this fact was emphasized at the time of the organization of the Association back in 1884.But, working in harmony, the Sherbrooke Exhibition in conjunction with the County Shows, gives to the Eastern Townships an annual demonstration of the fruits of the soil and of industry not surpassed in any other territory in the Dominion.Nearly thirty-four years have passed since the Eastern Townships Agricultural Association was organized.The founders, few of whom remain today, established an institution which has had a very honorable record.Of its future one may speak with confidence.Tire rich soil of Southern Quebec will continue to produce and the annual Fair will continue to offer that incentive which competition gives and lead the agriculturists of this territory to still higher achievements 'mmm §§ SHERBROOKE FAIR in its Excellence Stands next to Toronto in

i'a Great Eastern Exhibition I .back to 1884.It was on Octo-loth.of that year that the Pro-.ional committee re district shows appointed at the annual meeting of Jthe Sherbrooke Ploughmen's Association, met in the directors rooms of bei E.T.Bank to consider the ques-oa,.of an organization looking to lannual Eastern Townships Exhi-^bn.* this meeting there were pres-B.W Heneker, W.A.Hale, clntosh, J.A.Camirand, A.SteVens, W.Green and R F.Tylee.RESOLVED TO ORGANIZE s The result of this meeting was em-iied in the following resolution: Moved by A.Stevens, seconded by V«,A.Hale, and resolved: f*That in the opinion of this meet-?» joint stock company should be aed under the name of the Eastern Townships Agricultural Association, with a view of encouraging 'annual exhibitions in the City of Sherbrooke, of Live Stock.Agricul-\u2022tural and Horticultural Products, Implements, etc., as well as the perio-Üical sale of Live Stock, etc., and Vhat the following be a sub-commit-tee to draft a constitution and bylaws and submit the same to an adjourned meeting to be held on Saturday, October 25th., 1884, viz: R.ÎST.Hall, R.W.Heneker, R.H.Pope, >Tno.McIntosh and R.H.Tylee.THE OBJECTS DEFINED.In this prospectus, which drafted l>y Mr R.I Hall, and discussed and adopted by the committee, set forth the objects of the Eastern Townships Agricultural Association, as follows : \u201cIt is proposed to organize a joint Stock Company under the above name, whose object shall be to acquire by purchase or lease, suitable grounds at or in the immediate vicinity of Sherbrooke, for agricultural, floral, horticultural and other similar exhibitions.It is intended to erect permanent buildings and appliances upon these grounds for the safety, care and exhibition of animals and agricultural products.The principal object of the Association will be to encourage increased emulation and competition among the farmers in this vicinity, and thereby to secure improvement in the agricultural products and exhibits of the Eastern Townships.For this purpose it is proposed that the Association will hold an annual ?x-hibition open to general competition, at which the prizes to be offered will be sufficient to attract the best animals and products.It is also intended that through its organization, a cattle market will be established upon a regular and permanent basis, similar to those in Ontario, which have proved of great mutual advantage to both buyers and sellers.\u201cIt is not intended that' this organization shall displace, in any way, the present Cquntyffairs, but shall co-operate with them.\u201cThe amount requisite faff the acquisition of the necessary land (by lease) and the erection of the permanent buildings, is estimated at $10,-000.To secure this it is proposed to organize a Company upon the basis of $25,000, in shares of $10 each, and to commence operations^ as soon as $12,500 are subscribed.1 \u201cFor the prizes it is .believed the | funds can be raised\u2018\u2018by\u2018the gate mon-l ey, by the rental of the grounds | when not required by the Association, by private subscription, and also, it is hoped, by some government aid.In other places such permanent ! associations have b.^en very suc-| cessful, not only itr their primary object of improving'the condition and prospects of the farming population, : but even as a financial investment in 'many instances, not-only having repaid all costs and expenses, but returned a handsome dividend upon the i original share capital.It is proposed to fix the shares at so low a sum as $10 so that wdiile the older farmers may subscribe,-for a number ! of shares, even the new'beginner may take a single share, and thus have a voice in the management of the c\\m-pany's affairs;\u201d FIRST SUBSCRIBERS.The first stock was'-subscribed at a meeting held October 25, as follows: R.N.Hall.10\tshares.R.W.Heneker .10 shares.J.A.Camirand .10 shares.W.A Hale .10\tshares.John McIntosh.10\tshares.J.G.Robertson .5 shares.! *¦ R.H.Tylee.5\tshares.Messrs.R.W.Heneker, \"W.A.Hale, J.A.Camirand and C.L.McDougall were appointed to canvass for stock subscriptions.A PUBLIC MEETING.A public meting of citizens of Sherbrooke and farmers of the Eastern Townships was called in the city, November 9.About fifty were present at this meeting, including R.N.Hall, A.Paton, W.Farwell,

secretary.On motion of Mr.Heneker, seconded by L.C.Belanger, the proposal to organize a joint stock company was endorsed.A FARMERS\u2019 MEETING.It was felt, however, that the meeting was not sufficiently representative of the farming community, and it was decided to hold another public meeting on December 2, 1884, making a special effort to secure a large attendance of farmers.QUESTION OF GOVERNMENT AID.Hon.J.G.Robertson, a member of the Quebec Government, being called upon at this meeting to express the views of the Government, made a few remarks, explaining that it would be premature of him to make any statement as a member of the Government; that he considered the success or failure of the Association was in the hands of the farmers, and that personally he approved of the movement.Among those present at this meeting were Hon.J.G.Robertson, R.N.Hall, M.P.; C.C.Colby, M.P.; Bailey A.Foster, T.A.Knowlton, D.A.Mansur, R.H.Tylee, R.W.Heneker, H.S.Foster, A.O.Kellam,

Townships be requested to advertise the exhibition gratuitously, and that a sum not to exceed $250 be expended for advertising outside the Townships.\u201d This resolution was carried, but the early fair reports do not tell just how the Eastern Townships editors took this kindly proposition.THE FIRST EXHIBITION.The dates of the first fair arrived, and with them a good crowd from the surrounding country.The Lieutenant-Governor of the Province officially opened the exhibition.Mr.J.F.Morkill acted as marshall, Mr.F.P.Buck as general superintendent, Mr.W.B.Ives as general ticket superintendent.There were over 350 entries, and a total of I,\t234 exhibits.On the third day, October 8, all school children were admitted for 10 cents.The total attendance was over II,\t000 persons.At the end of the first year a statement was submitted, showing a cash expenditure as follows: torily.Three or four protests against judges were entered, but disallowed by the directors.GOVERNMENT MEMORIALIZED.Encouraged by the first year\u2019s success, the directors immediately set on foot a movement to secure the Provincial and Dominion Fair grants and hold a greatly enlarged exhibition The memorial to the Provincial Government was forwarded by the Sherbrooke City Council.It reviewed the first year success of the fair, the facilities of the Association for carrying on a large exhibition, and asked that the grant for a provincial exhibition be assigned to Sherbrooke for the year 1886.This petition was granted, and plans were immediately laid for a larger fair.A prize list was prepared for the provincial exhibition, providing for $12,500 in prizes.Some $12,-000 was spent on new buildings.PROVINCIAL FAIR A SUCCEESS The Provincial Exhibition of 1886 was a success except in the matter of gate receipts, which were seriously affected by adverse weather conditions.The fair grounds were extended by taking in 7 1-2 acres.Permanent central buildings were erected at a cost of $9,000.The exhibition lasted from the 23rd of September to the 2nd of October.The fair was opened by Lieut.-Gov.Masson, of Quebec, Hon.Dr.Ross, Premier of Quebec, Hon.S.Lesage, Minister of Agriculture, Sir Chas.Tapper, and Hon.Mr.Carling, as well as Hon.J.B.Robinson, Lieut.-Gov.of Ontario, were visitors at the Exhibition.The total expenditure was $37,626, including $18,049

1918.THREE* i ; Sherbrooke Exhibition Famous for Its Live Stock People who have visited the Sher-irooke Exhibition and have witness-id the parade of prize animals have been impressed by the splendid display of all the leading breeds of thoroughbred stock.No part of Canada can boast of a finer display of blooded stock than the Eastern Townships at Canada\u2019s Great Eastern Exhibition.Shorthorns, Jerseys, Brown Swiss, Holsteins, Ayrshires, Canadians, Aberdeen Angus, Guernseys, Herefords, are annually represented by splendid herds.Each breed has its ardent admirers.ABERDEEN ANGUS.\u201cI like the Aberdeen Angus,\u201d says Ar.H.E.Hodgson, of Birchton, because they are good milkers as well as good for beef, and do as well on ruffage than some cattle do on fine food.\u201d There are only four large breeders of Aberdeen Angus in the province, namely, Messrs.Spafford, Hodgman and Young, of Compton.Messrs.(Pope and Cochrane were among the first breeders in this province.STRONG POINTS OP

Ayer\u2019s Cliff, Que.S.E.FRANCIS, Secretary-Treasurer Eastern Townships Acricultural Association.Mooney, Of Inverness, he would talk to you about Shorthorns.Mr.Mooney would tell you that he prefers beef cattle to dairy cattle because they do not require so much attention or work.He will tell you that he likes the Shorthorns best because of the following points, namely, compact and broad of back from shoulder points to hips ; a wide, deep body ; short neck ; wide, deep, full bosom I and rather broad, thick hind quarter.He likes the lines of the Shorthorn, j and points out that top and bottom | lines run nearly parallel, with back j quite level.Mr.Mooney says that j Shorthorn bulls mated to grade cows : have revolutionized the character of ; the meat stock of the world.In the ; principal stock yards of America *he ! blood of this breed predominates, Mr.Mooney says.The disappearance of the old Texas type of steer is largely due to the influence of Shorthorn bulls on the range.' The milking capacity of the Shorthorns, to use the words of prof.! Charles S.Plump, of Ohio State Uni-j versity, \u201cNo beef breed equals it,\u201d ; and ranks third in production of all breeds.\u201cMy success in Shorthorns,\u201d says Mr.Mooney, \u2018\u2018is due to the care-| ful mating of the different types of this breed.My show-ring success is due to my slogan, \u2018Choose ihr test and do your best with them.\u2019 \u201d Mr.Alex Mackay, of Blinkbonn.c 1 Stock Farm, Smith\u2019s Mills, will also talk to you about Shorthorns.He i will point out that there are two distinct types of animals in this | breed, the beef type and the milking or dual-purpose animal.H\" breeds the latter type, as he considéré them the best suited *o>- this section of the country, where dairying occupies a large and prominent part of the farmers' activities.The outstanding feature of this breed is the ability of the sire to leave his impress on his progeny, no matter what breed he Is used on.\u2018\u2018The reason why I , refer them to all other breeds is that I consider them tns breed par excellence for general farming, as ihev produce both beef and milk of the first qual-i ity,\u201d says Mr.Mackay.AYRSHIRE MEN ENTHUSIASTIC.Now W.F.Kay, M.P., Philips-burg ; D.T.Ness, Howick ; J.P.Cavers, Ormstown.and B.J.Taylor, Ayer\u2019s Cliff, are Ayrshire men, and they don\u2019t care who knows it.They believe the breed Is best and do not hesitate to say so.Mr.Taylor, in a little chat the other day, remarked: \u201cSix years ago I selected the Ayrshire as best adapted to this province.Our land, especially in this locality, is rough and hilly, and the winters very severe.The Ayrshire is an animal of very uniform type, : lives to a good age, is young when j cattle of other breeds are done.As j a forager on our rough hillsides she : cannot be beaten, and will do well | and give a good flow of milk when others of a more indolent type would starve.Their milk is of good quality, averaging more than 4 per cent., and carries more bone subatance than any other breed, consequently is best for human consumption ; also stands shipping very well, as the cream rises slowly, the butter fat globes being very small.At last, when they have finished their days of usefulness, they make an average amount of meat.Bright and alert, with an elastic step, beautiful color and conformation, great constitution and 1 milking abilities, I consider the Ayr-1 shire the best dairy breed for this I province, and we can almost hear j the other Ayrshire breeders respond, ¦ \u2018Amen, those are my sentiments, too.\u2019 \u201d ! A FRIEND OF THE HEREFORD.Now, the Hereford is not without friends in the Townships, though the Hereford herds are not as numerous as they once were.Talk to Mr.B.A.Alger, of Eaton, about Herefords.He has recently sold out his farm and stock, but for years was an ardent admirer of the Hereford.HOLSTEIN HAS STRONG SUPPORTERS IN TOWNSHIPS.The Holstein has many friends in EASTERN TCWNÔHIP& o ao -- HIS EXPERIENCE.\"Don\u2019t you ever change your mind about anything ?\u201d \u201cNot often, now.I\u2019ve found that I am just as liable to be wrong the second time as the first.\u201d -«- y NO SHORT CUTS Wee Jennie objects to being called \u201cJen.\u201d The other day she protested quite vehemently.\u201cI do wish,\u201d she said, \u201cyou wouldn,t make short cuti across my name.\u201d BROWN SWISS FOR ME, SAYS MR STAND1SH.But you cannot convince a Brown | Swiss man that there is any breed j to compare with that which he has î selected.Talk with Mr.C.E.Stan-| dish, of Ayer\u2019s Cliff, or Mr.Ralph j Libby, of Stanstead, and you will go ; into Brown Swiss.! Mr.Jolly, of Waterloo, expresses |the opinion of Brown Swiss breeds j when he says: \u201cI have been acquainted with the j breed for over twenty years, that is before one was ever imported into Canada, and I have been breeding this class of animal for the past ten years and can safely say I understand the nature of this breed.It is s strong dairy breed, healthy and productive with a strong constitution.1 consider them adapted to this country more than any other breed.I \u2019 Ravensdale Stock Farm W.F.Kay, M.P., Prop.PHILIPSBURG, Que.Herd consists of 65 head of very choice animals.This herd took a number of prizes at Sherbrooke last year, including the female junior Championship and the firsts in the \u201cget of sire\u201d and \u201cprogeny of dam\u201d classes.Mr.Kay has a number of head of young animals for sale, both male and female.Vf\u2019- W\t^ V U-\t\u2019MJ» .\u201cys-s Ijs \u2018 ' .) ¦ ,\u2018x i'\t.;.r\t.** vr ,, ,-i m\ty $1 ¦-.¦ -À-Y T -VA' - ¦ ¦ ' X 't+C' ' .'vit' V: 5 w \u2022- - v ï jgrVK-s mMm «g mm mÊm Cross Compound, Direct-Connected Electrically Driven Air Compressor Motor not shown.Typical Farrel-Bacon Rock and Ore Crusher PRODUCTS.Air Compressors, Rock Drills, Coal Cutters, Core Drills, Hammer Drills, Rock Drill Mountings, Drill Steels, Drill Sharpeners, Air Hoists, Air Motors, Cameron Steam and Centrifugal Pumps, Pneumatic Pumping Systems, \u201c Little David \u201d Pneumatic Tools, Drills, Grinders, Wood Borers, etc., Riveters, Chippers, etc., Sand Rammers, Tic Tampers, etc.YOUNG MAN\u2014LEARN A TRADE WITH US.PROaUCTS Our products are greatly varied.To become familiar with their manufacture is to receive a broad mechanical training.Our equipment is thoroughly up-to-date.You will be taught the best methods.Working conditions are excellent\u2014heating, lighting, ventilation, etc., are superior.Premium or bonus, day work or piece work plans The first step?See or Write \u2019^KBÜgaaiffl are used, according to conditions.Special effort receives extra reward.Skilled instructors make your advancement speedy.Special classes in technical subjects are available at certain seasons.Come in and help produce machinery for other producers.\"Win-the-war\u201c production must be kept up.We help you to make good.Our Employment Departments.Quality and service are always kept in mind.Superior materials, special methods of treatment, and the highest grades of skilled workmanship are embodied in our designs, resulting in long and economical service to the user.Rock Crushers, Crushing Rolls, Elevators, Screens, etc., Ore Cars, Ore Buckets, Ore Dryers, Tube Mills, Industrial Cars and General Steel Plate Work, Hoisting Engines for Mines and Quarries, Contractors\u2019 Hoists, etc., Special Lathes and Machines for Munitions Work, Ships\u2019 Winches, etc., General Mining Machinery.Canadian Ingersoli-Rand Co., Limited WORKS: SHERBROOKE, QUE.sa The Jenckes Machine Co., Limited WORKS: SHERBROOKE, QUE.Products distributed by CA.NA.OI/VNJ IIMGERSQLL-RAJMD CO., Limited, General Offices: 260 St.James St., Montreal.ORArsiCJHES» «Itfimey, SS!\\*»i*t>i*ooUe, Montreal, Toronto, Timmins, Cobalt, Winnipeg, Nielson, Vaneouver.!

relate the story of their successful .careers, explaining boldly but proudly how they started from the bottom of ¦ the ladder to finally win out after a hard climb.But not one of their many stories can actually compare ¦with the narrative of the rise to fame of Frank Bogash, Jr.But outside of attaining a wopder-fttl record and reputation throughout the world, Frank Bogash, Jr., also has actually proven a most valuable steed to the Eastern Townships, and few there are in this vicinity who do not know all about the rapid rise of the gelding to the heights of success.For this same Frank Bogash, Jr., has done more to advertise the \u201cGarden of the Province of Quebec,\u201d especially Sherbrooke, than thousands and thousands of dollars could do.Men who witnessed an exhibition by this well-known horse would, as a rule, want to know where he was bred and all about the country where he came from.Although Frank Bogash, Jr., was bred at Sand Hill, Que., about five miles out of Sherbrooke, owing to the fact that Sherbrooke occupied a larger portion on the map than Sand Hill, horsemen generally said that the gelding came from this city, and consequently the Metropolis of the Eastern Townships was advertised throughout America.Will Go Down in History.And although Frank Bogash, Jr.\u2019s day on the race track is over, his name will always occupy a most prominent place on the record books.Following his victory over Earl, Jr., during the course of the first and only Grand Circuit meet ever held in the vicinity of Montreal, namely, at the Dorval Jockey Club\u2019s track, a few years back, something went wrong with the worthy steed, and he is now owned by a lover of thoroughbred horses who resides in Ontario.Under the careful hand of Thomas W.Murphy, Frank Bogash, Jr., developed into a wonderful horse, and many were the lovers m « \u2022 - Seventy-six years of experience in developing farm power to give maximum results at the lowest cost are behind each Case tractor.1^ Buy your tractor for economy\u2014not cheapness \u2014and you will select a Case.It doubles production and saves labor and money.A Case insures the highest performance of any work for which a tractor can be used.Each tractor develops more than its rated power by actual factory test.11 develops 9 horsepower on the drawbar for ploughing, harrowing and hauling.For belt work it may be used successfully, delivering 18 hor e power to the pulley for driving the thresher, the baler, husker, silo filler, or operating other farm machinery.Ask for full particulars from our nearest branch and stuffy the Case and its detail* as it concerns your needs.See our Demonstrations at the Exhibition The Canadian Fairbanks-Morse Co., Limited St.John, Quebec, Montreal, Ottawa,\tToronto, Hamilton, Windsor by animals shown by Mr.Gingras, of St.Cesaire.Canadiaaa, a hardy, useful breed, are also to be found at Sherbrooke a horse show in exhibits of A.Den s, of St.Nobert, and R.Poulin, of Hill-hurst.Some very fine animals of the Standard Registered breed an; also always a fine feature at the fair.W.G.Draper & Son, of Compton ; O.M.J.Ingalls, Danville; H.Kingsley, Sherbrooke, are among those who competed last year for prizes in this class.Carriage and coach, Hackneys and heavy draft are.always well represented, as well as the general purpose animals.Horse breeding is capable of much development in the Townships, and the annual horse show at the fair should prove an important incentive in this direction.Mr.Robert Ness, of Howtck, prefers the Clydesdale to other draft breeds.Mr.Ness says he has often been asked why he does not Import more animals.He points out that with an eye always on quality and size he has brought over as many as be could well undertake to do.Mr.Milton Porter, of Simcoe, Ont., is a Percheron fancier.He regards the Percheron stronger, healthier and easier to keep, and he says, \u201ca great deal more intelligent than other draft breeds.\u2019' If you discuss the matter with other breeders you will find that they recognize and appreciate the strong points, and are loyal to the breed which attract* them.The raising of fine thoroughbred horses is an art which brings much pleasure anA profit to those who succeed.MR.L.J.CODERE, Vice-President Eastern Townships Agricultural Association.of thoroughbred horses who were terribly sorry because they had not purchased the fine pacer before Mr.Murphy grabbed him up and added him to ] his string of racers.Many of the local | enthusiasts had looked over Frank i Bogash, Jr., before he moved from this viciity, but none of them had any idea that he would develop into such a wonderful pacer.Was Broken in 1909.Frank Bogash, Jr., was not broken by his breeder, E.C.Warner, of Sand Hill, Que., until the spring of 1909, I and being an awkward, mixed-gaited !

gelding, which was for sale, and paid the sum of $250.Frank Bogash, Jr., was trained by Mr.Delorme in 19111 and the following winter taken to an ice meeting held at Ottawa.During this meeting it will be remembered; that Frank Bogash was started twice j against the crack Grand Opera, winning second money on each occasion and taking two heats, from the fleet-footed big pacer.Horsemen immedi-j ately took their cue on the value of the ; gelding and it was reported than an offer of $3,000 for him was turned ; down.Was Added to Murphy Stable.In the spring of 1912 he was turned! over to Trainer Pickle, of Newport, Vt., and staked through the Inter-1 national Circuit of Vermont and Eastern Canada, with the result that he won thirteen starts without the loss of a heat and obtained a record of 2,12%.Many wealthy horsemen who were in search of stake prospects had followed the gelding\u2019s campaign close- ! ly and looked longingly his way, but Eddie Baker, of Toronto, acting for! one of T.W.Murphy\u2019s patrons, was first to the prize and purchased Frank j Bogash, Jr., for $6,000 and had him shipped! to Poughkeepsie, N.Y.The horse could not have fallen into better hands, for Murphy was a leading money winning driver and considered by many the greatest driver of all times,! taking also into consideration the great old veteran, \u201cPop\u201d Geers.There is no more capable conditioner and as | a driver he has no superiors.He is^ the most persistent trailer ever seen* I on the Grand Circuit and is a wonder-1 ful judge of pace, laying in behind; horses he fearsj most, he drives short! miles and can judge to a foot in a fin-! ish.No mode of driving could have! been more suitable for Frank Bogash, Jr., as he was a horse possessing extreme speed and was probably the hardest pacer of his day to beat home from the three-quarter pole.Murphy always allowed the others to set thei pace most of the journey and reserved Bogash to the turn home, from where he brushed past the leaders in the; stretch.Bogash Was Not Quite Ready.Murphy never works his horses very! fast before they go to the races and; had not asked Frank Bogash, Jr., for a mile better than 2.10 before he started him in The Edwards 2.12 stake at Cleveland, his opening engagement.I The highly touted Del Rey was the ; favorite and won in straight heats of |2.06y2, 2.04% and 2.06%.The Bogashi ¦gelding was a strong contender but | was not keyed up for a hard race and1 [never hail a chance to defeat the Cox1 pacer.Del Rey repeated the nextj Iweek in Pittsburgh in the-Fort Pitt I $5,000 stake, but through a break lost [the third heat to Bogash.He was still very much the best of the pair, however, and the time, 2.07%,\t2.06%, ; 2.08% and 2.07, was fast considering |the condition of the track.At Fort Erie the 2.11 Fore* Erie stake, valued at $5,000, was a fluke.The meeting came to an abrupt ending when but one heat of the race had Peed deckled.It wan won by Del Key in 2.08 with Frank Bogash, Jr., second.At Grand Rapids the fireworks i started with the Comstock stake of $5,000, the chief attraction for the slow class side-wheelers.The favorite, Del Rey, was unable to start, having ! contracted the fever epidemic that was working havoc among the Grand I Circuit horses at that time.The [event resulted in a battle royal between Lenta J.and Frank Bogash, Jr.,I I and the former won after six heats, [had been paced.The Bogash gelding!

not more money for the breeder.Mr.Marshall Miller, of Brome Centre, has been exhibiting Chester Whites for the past twelve years, and says they are good enough for him.He says Chester White swine of today are the product of selection, development and improvement since 1812 and is one of the oldest, if not the oldest, purely American breeds of swine.The name Chester White was adopted in 1848 in honor of Chester County, Pa.The development of their great breeding qualities, and their adaptability, gentleness, prolill'mess, together with their quick maturity and easy feeding qualities, have produced the most profitable hog for the farmer, feeder and breeder, in Mr.Miller\u2019s opinion.He says Chester Whites have more first prizes, champion and grc.'M championships to their honor than all other breeds, grades and crossbreds at the greatest live stock show in Ameri- -\ti\tca, the Chicago International Live AMERICAN\tARMY\t1\tStock Exposition.In the battle of the Aug.\t22\u2014\tAmerican\t!\tbreeds, open to the world and all the\tI\tbreeds competing, Iha Chester White grades and crosses won nine of the prizes awarded, including U.S.AVIATORS SECURE MANY HITS ON ENEMY POSITIONS WITH THE IN FRANCE, aviators bombed Flabeuville, in department of Meurthe-Et-Mosel!e, yesterday afternoon and secured ma- ] fifteen ny hits, some of them direct ones on | champion farrow and pen of farrows the railroad tracks.The airplanes re-1 Mr.Miller is positive that the Chester turned safely, notwithstanding the White icpresents par excellence in heavy anti-aircraft fire directed \u2019 the swine department of agriculture against them.\ttoday.Absorbloe and AbsorMne.Jr., are miic In Canada.hampioa Dependable Spark Plugs No mutter what car you own there is a Champion Plug that will make your motor produce the greatest amount of energy for each drop of gasoline used.The patented asbestos-lined copper gaskets on the shoulders of Champion porcelains insure dependability and long life at any speed.Ask any dealer for Spark Plugs with \u201c Champion \u201d on the porcelains-il guarantees \"Absolute satisfaction to the user or free repair or replacement will be made Champion Spark Plug Co., of Canada, Limited Windsor, Ontario Champion \u201cMinute\u201d Spark Plug Cleaner Cleans a set of plugs perfectly in a few minutes without tak-i n g them apart or even getting your hands dirty.All you have to do is half fill the tube withgasoline, screw in the plug and shake for a minute.Sells everywhere for $1.00 pro- an official despatch from OF BRUCE\u2019S RECLEANED SEED WHEAT We offer for early orders, cash with order Do not delay as the demand will be large.Help win the war by growing wheat.Wheat, Abundance - White grain, straw stiff, bald head, hardy and heavy yieldcr \u2014an old favorite.Wheat, Daweon\u2019e Golden ChetT\u2014White grain, straw stiff, bald head, hardy nud heavy yicldrr\u2014an old favorite.Wheat, is\u2019lchlcan Amber\u2014Red grain, straw stiff, bald head, hardy and heavy yieldcr i\\n old favorite.Wheat, nod Rock\u2014Red grain, stiff straw, bearded head, very heavy yieldcr and very hardy\u2014n great Ta vont e in Michigan.Whoat, Red Wave\u2014Red grain, straw stiû bald head, hardy and heavy yieldcr\u2014 a grand variety.Fall Rye, Roeen Much heavier yieldcr than old sort and better tn every wny.Introduced by Michigan Agricultural College.Price of all above.80c lb., 5 lbs.Ç1.25.postpaid.Py express or freight at purchaser\u2019s expense, peck |1 00, lA bushel |1.85, bushel $ < 50, 6 bushels |t6.7.r>, 10 bushels $32 50.Timothy No.1.(VS.,\t50;
