[" ô Canadian Gleaner HUNTINGDON, Q., NOVEMBER 21, 1901 NOTES OF THE WEEK et The first of the departmental reports for the 19 months ending 80th Joue last is that of the excise.The figures show the people of Capade to be spending more money than ever on drink.Last year the aver age per head was 4% gallons of beer and 8 quarts of spirits.Considering drinking is confined almost wholly to men, and that of these à fair proportion are total - abstaioers, the amount consumed by the bibulous ls staggering.Nearly 2X million gallons of spirite were consumed lust year, and 25 million gallons of beer.The government received 6 million dollars from excise duties.There was an increased consumption duriog the twelve months of 800,000 gallops of spirits and pearly a filth more of beer.Compared with other countries Cunnda is temperate, but these returns prove intempersnee ir growing.The government organs poiat with satisfaction to an increase of ex ports.Those fur October exceeded the same month last year by over 6 million dollars.The increase is confined chi-fly to farm products, the grentest increase being in cattle.In fish, chivfly British Columbia salmon, there was the surprising rise of 1% million dollars.The Official Gazette gives the returns of revenue and expenditure for the 4 months ending with the 31st October.In both there have been increases.In revenue the Dominion has taken in over a million dollars more than it did in the corresponding four montbs of last year, and spent over two millions more, showing the government continues its spendthrift policy.Railwaysubsidies took over à million dollars and the bounty on iron $180,000.Payments continue to be made for the South African contingent, $08,753 having been go expended.The Herald and other organs are proclaiming in largest type that the revenue fur the past 4 months increased over a million dollars, aud exult over the growing time.They do not tell that the expenditure of these 4 months exceeds that of the same period last year by over two million dollars.It is stated with apparent truth that despatches have been received at Ottawa asking that a battalion of mounted riflemen be enlisted in Canada for service in Africa.The statement is, that the Imperial authorities merely ark the co-operation of our government, as the men will be controlled and paid as regulars.The mayor of Ottawa bas beep taught that the law (sometimes) does not respect those high in office.Returning home late one Saturday night he dropped into the Russell house, where he met some acquaintances, whom he invited to the bar.The following week he was merved with a summons for frequenting a bar-room during prohibited hours.and the owner of the hotel wan alo summoned for selling lignor after midoight.Both pled guilty and paid their fines.That was notall.The Ontario licenselaw provides that any municipal officer who breaks its provisions shall be diequalided for holding office for 3 years.Mr Morrie, on his conviction, consequently ceased to Le mayor and the city council promptly and unanimously elected a successor.Smallpox holds itsgrip on Ottawa.Being of a mild type there are few deaths, The very severity of the board of health regulations prevents the stamping out of the disease in Montreal and other places.Sogteat .ta the interference of these regula tlone with the liberty and employments of those affected, that when a ease of smallpox develops it is kept conotaled.A postponement of the trial of _ Hansen, the murderer of the West- mouat child, has been granted, and there je sven & proepet of a commission being seat to Denmark to collect evidenee as to the sanity of the sec weeed.The sort of imanity that Isle ofivially ansouaced that the plague has disappeared from both Glasgow and;Liverpool.On Monday a mew treaty was sigs- od by representatives ol Britain and the States regarding the Isthmian canal.It is not binding until ratified by the sonate.The anti-British agitation in Ger many, instead of abating.seems tn be growing more active, and meeting are daily being beld, at which strous resolutions are passed, The exciting cause, which has given form to the hatred of Britain that has prevailed vince the Boer war began, is Mr Chamberlain's statement, in addrees- ing an Edinburgh audience, that the Germans were guilty of worse atrocities in the Franco German war than aoy attributed by them to Roberts nnd Kitchener.If the German gov- eroment wished to pick a quarrel with England, popular feeling would sustain them.The French, while gratified by Chamberliain\u2019sstatement.the truth of which they endorse, are not backward in egging on the Germans, for nothing would suit them better than a war between Britain and their conqueror of 30 years ago.Germany, however, is likely to express its hatred of tbe Saxon in worde rather than blows.Its trade is bad, and the depression includes the farming class as well as the manufacturing.Hundreds of thousands of people are \u2018seeking work in vain in the towns and cities and the farm- laborers are starving.It is in no condition to go to war and its rulers koow that.Instead of relieving the prevailing distress by reducing the army and pavy and curtailing the enormous publicexpenditure in other directions, the government is trying to do it by patching its protective + tariff.Financially Franceis in little better condition than Germany.Her industrial centres swarm with ubem- ployed men and women and her revenue has fallen off to a degree that vecessitates a new loan to meet ordinary expenditure.On Monday thare was an uproarious and riotous scene in its legislature over a bill authorizing a loan of 63 milliov dollars.It ia whispered the wily Turk really got the better of France in the recent naval demonstration.Instead of in- siating for cash on the pail.France weakly conrented fo give the Sultan credit, dividing the amount into 16 monthly instalments of $107,000 each, the ârat payable in March.The general belief is France will bave to «end her fleet again when the instal- meats come due.The Sultan egnals Micawher in readiness togive his note of hand and unconcern about lifting the bits of paper.ORMSTOWN Many have put in coal furnaces.for wood is acarce, eellinx at from $3 to $5 per cord, according to gnality.The new schoolhouse at.Tatehurat {na credit to the district.It is ronmy, with vestibule neatly fitted up, and having side rooms.Its appearance from the road enmpares with any school io the district.The building is claphoarded and painted and out- huildings are whitewashed.Mise E.Chambers in teacher and has eighteen scholars.The school cost nearly $800, A series of special services in St Paul's commenced on Sabbath evening of this week and will be continued till Friday eveniog, Mr McLeod preached a mostimprensive discourse on Monday night to an attentive audience that numbered nearly 200.The Tuesday evening meeting was larger than that of Monday.The Rev J.1.Strong preached a rousing sermon aod was listened to with earnest attention.On Tuesday evening, while these solemn services were in progress, several young men threw snowballs into the church, rattled the doors, and then they placed heavy barricades against the outside doors.James Hunter has bought the farm of Samoel Geddes for $7000.This farm is well built opon and situated 1% miles west of Ormstown village.Peter Cavers shipped large lots of mixed stock to Montreal on Wednesday and Friday of last week.This week his shipments are aleo large.Pork bas (allen to $4K to $5, live weight, but the bulk of it je sold, our farmers securing the high price.Oats are 47 to 50c per 401d.HOWICK There is a greatsonrcity of potatoes in this section, altho the yield was abundant, owing to the rottiag of afllicted the brute when he out the isnocsnt's throat, any one of Mos- treal's 400 licensed bar-rooms cas prodoce in half an hour.Outs ave still rising and om Tv day small lots were sold is Mostrel nt 33¢ per 341d.At that figure far m- «rs who have to buy feed would s.ve money by grinding wheat or bari:y.There bas been a rise in flour, be first for many months.Millers cr m- plain they have been doing bue::-2 on toc narrow à margin, especir!ls ns hard wheat ia scarce.Ocean Ds vi- gation is expected to close this we k.The lust of the Allan liners Las g« ne nnd the few boata in portare loadiug with all despatch, With the close of navigation the prices of grain ure likely to fall a little.There bas been no change in butter or cheese, Now laid eggs are bigber.Last week President Ronsevelt received a deputation representing the chambers of commerce of the chiel cities, to press on him the advantages that would accrue to the United States from making a reciprocity treaty with Cunada.The spokesman of the deputation stated that, after Britain and Germary, Canada was the largest customer the United States had, and thir in apite of tariffs designed to stop trade hetween the two countries.With a reciprocity treaty that trade would wdvance by leaps and hounds, The States did not need the customs Aunties levied at the frontier on Canadian goods for the support of ite government, and of the Amerienn mannfactures bought by Canada faw any longer needed protection.The Avlegation wanted freer trade than now existed, believing it would greatly help American interests, The President declined to express any opinion on the rulject, but left the impression on his visitors that he was not favorable to modifving the tariff to favor Canada.In bis message, which he will deliver Mondny week, he will likely give his views on the subject.A trust was formed in the United States on Friday ofa magnitude that har evoked astonishmentevenin that happy land for trusts and combines.Two of the great Pacificrailway companies, the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern, with their branches and connections, have amalgamate, with a joint capital of four hundr d million dollars.There two roads have been running in opposition and nf late the competition hasbeen keen.By coming under one head, rates will he raised, and the people who live along them made to roffer.The States affected by the combination propose invoking the power of con- grera, hut it in to he feared their influence will count for little against that of the three men wbo represent 400 million dollars, and who, if need be, would apend millions in buying votes.It ie nnderatood the Union Pacific, not in the combine.will co-operate with it in raising raten, which our own C.P.R.will alo likely do.The Home Rulers are greatly encouraged by President Roosevelt's reception of Mr Redmond and bis friends.Ii they will read Mr Roosevelt\u2019s life of Cromwell, published a vear or so ago, their tune would change.In round figures it in entimnted the war Is costing Britain a million dol- lara a day.No other European Power could atandauch a drainon ita treasury,and Britaincannot without resorting to new sources of taxation.What taxes the government will propose, when parliament meets after the New Year, are now the subject of anxious speculation among the people of the Motherland.That they will take the shape of customs duties levied in such a way as to give a preference to colonial produce is improbable, The operation of the corn laws gave the working class such a horror of taxation on bread, that, even if it could be proved to them a discrimination between foreign and colonial grain would not raise the price of the loaf, they would not submit, from fear of what would bappen it the point of the wedge of the protective principle was allowed to enter the tariff.The bread riots, which ended ia the repeal of the corn laws, are among the saddest episodes in Engtieh history.The cost of the war is telling on British trade, and there is a shrinkage ia both exports and imports.been stored away.They are being imported forsale here by the car-load.There were 3 funerals here on Tuesday, ons belug that of the late Wm.Robertson, a much respected farmer, who had lived many years on Fertile Creek concession.He sufiered from xs injary received last summer while working à roller, from the shock of which be never fully recovered.The other fuveral was that of Mies Inabella Muir, a danghter of the late Rev Dr Muir of Georgetown, who underwent a successful operation for # tumor but whoss beaith gradually declined from that date.Her popu- lavity was evidenced by the large attendance at the services held in Kuoox church, shortly alter the body arrived by the morning train from Montreal.Rev G.Whillaus officiated assisted by Revs D.W.Morison and J.W, McLeod.A foot of snow is said to have fallen last week, but the coutinued mild weather since bas put the roads in au almost impassable condition, either for rleighs or wheeled vehicles.Ste MARTINE The snow that fell last week still covers the ground, and no earth is to be seen except on the roads.It ie almost impossible to travel either with runners or wheels, for there is no frost in the ground.Dealers are buying oats at 55c for 40d and are storing, hoping to strike n higher price later on.All the cheese factories are closed and farmers having milk are bauling to the creamery in the lower village.Many are complaining of their cowe failing and don\u2019t see Any money in feeding mounlie at

on the war-path, every possible meana tosecure an advantage on either side heing employ- od.A homhahell war thrown into the Conservative rank and file hy the annonneement that petitinner Poirier had auhatitated Lawyer C.Piche of Montreal in place of Mr Lanrendeau of Beanharnoir «0 act AA legal prose- eutar in the hearing of thecare,which ia fyled to come off on Dec.8th.This did not meet with the views of the party, as the newly subatituted lawyer does not generally assimilate with Conservative political principles or doings.The political barometer showed great disturbances, and the Rouge thermometer accordingly rose to fever heat, and the Conservative thermometer recorded momething like 110 below freesing point.The consequence was that the adherents of the temporarily lost cause were politically, physically, and morally blue, and inasmuch as the petitioner was not to be found this tended to give the case a gloomieraspect.But, bv dint of adroit manosuvring and skilfalstrategy the tables have been reversed and the temparatureof both parties has again reached a more normal condition, with the difference that the exuberant joy of one party bas been tarned into a dismal forlorn hope sensation, which has knocked the starch out of thelr \u2018billed\u2019 aspirations for the time being.The petitioner has again revoked in favor of Mr Laurendeau.James Wattie, jr.manager of the Cbina Mutual Insurance Co, Shang- bat, China, is paying his parents a visit here.He came by way of the Sues caval and returns via theC.P.R.MrWattie being in China at the time of the late unpleasentness, js in s position to correct a good many of the reports which bave Leen spread world-wide.: With the incomingof the first snow this sennon, there arrived with it that great public nuisance the pow bell, which many of our delivery sleighe are ornamented with.We hope the towa conneil will have this nerve: racking instrument of tortare put to rest.It is an abominable nuisance apd its users shoold be compslied to subetitute more proper bells, 1 people would decline to purchase galls bom any vimdor Wid ss ouch a relic of barbariem such bells would disappear.While oa the subject, mention must be made of the other extreme, of parties driving through the town strests without apy bells.This in particularly the failing of our rural cousine, who.probably, are not aware that a fine is attached to such delinquency.The brick work on the chimney of the Gault wills was tinished oa Tuve- day, the 19th.It soure QUS feet high und ia à tine specimen of bricklayers\u2019 work, and a

with great speed.Part of the buildings are already roofed.When completed the boiler-house will stand unrivalled in the country.Steps were taken some tims ago to form a glee club in convection with the club house, Everything seemed to be making fair headway towards a successful issue and the different appointments were made.Since then we have not heard any more about tbe scheme.We hope it will yet become a realized fact, E.E.Clark bas been appointed geveral mechanical superintendent of the Montreal Cotton Co.\u2019s works.\u2018The nomination is favorably looked upon by all concerned.It may appear we are too persistent, but the common cause of the taxpayers compella ue to again call the attention of those in arrears to square up their tax acrounta in order to secure their votes for the next municipal elections, The council has for once passed a very ratiopal resolution, that ie, that.the chief of police have full control over the men on the force.This removes a serious obstacle in the way of securing proper performance of duty on the part of the subordinates.Removing the appointments out of the bands of party friends into those of a judicious man, as we find the chief to be, cannot but be beneficial to the force and the town.ST STANISLAS We had a few days of fair eleighing last week, and farmers were not slow in taking advantage of it, as nearly everybody wangettingshortof wood.There ia a brisk demand for good clean oats.Not mach doing in hay as yet, but there is any amount of it being pressed and .awaiting futare delivery.The butter factory is atill ruvnine, and up till the time of the storm the amount of milk was never larger at this time of year.HEMMINGFORD \u2018The contract for the bridge between Hemmingford and Havelock was awarded to Joseph Parent for the sum of $475.There was only one other tender, $540.Dr Harper made his annual visit to the model school on Monday, Nov.18, which was very brief, the morning train not arriving till nearly

serious.The snow arrived only a day or two later than last year, and under much the same conditions, there being no frost in the ground.Miss Lucy Baker, who has passed the greater part of the summer in Dundee and Montreal, has left to resume her mission work on the Sas katchewan among the Indians.She has been there since 1879.The vacation was taken on account of ber bealth.Duck-shootiog on the upper portion of the lake has not resulted in bagging many birds.My informant, who lives on an island, said there were (this was just before the snow fell) numerous tents on the pointe and islands,

Nationalist member of parliameut, now visiting this country, being present, the nucleus was formed of a new Irish- American society.Men prominent in the professions and in the commercial life of New York, were present, and enrolled their names.Mr Red mond addressed the conference, out: lining the plans of the Irish Nation.alista in parliament, looking to compelling England to grant the demands of the Irish people, Io electing Duncan McCormick, K.C.to the highest position in the Ancient Order of United Workmen, the grand lodge has made a most felicitous choice.Mr McCormick, since he became a member of the order, has been unremitting in his efforts on its beball, and to his practical advice and assistance the order owes a great deal.In the discharge of his duties he has displayed not only marked ability, but good sound business sense, Since Mr McCormick became the grand master workman the order has made rapid progress in the province of Quebec.Not only have the various lodges added to their membership.but new lodges have been instituted, and quite recently soveral new lodges bave been organised in the Maritime provinces.\u2014Mon: treal Star.London, Nov.18.\u2014An extraor- dioary demonstration of pro-Boerism is reported by a Brussels newspaper.It scoms that a Dutch fishing boat belonging to Youuidon, while off Wielingen lightship, in the North sea, pretended to be in distress and approached a British smack.Thirteen fishermen from the Dutch boat boarded the British craft and attacked the crew of the latter, shouting \u201cLong live the Boers.\u201d Several bf the Britishers were wounded.It le alleged that before matiog the attack the Datchmes locked their captain in the cabin.The British smack euc- ceeded in escaping and arrived at Qetend, where the captain lodged 8

at the aftersoos mertiog bs Mr Maclaren, M.P., who introduced T.G.Rarson of Rosshall, Prive Edward county, Ont., who said be was a farmer, and had come as much to have an interchange of ideas as to impart knowledge.The Hom Mr Fisher, minister of agriculture, seeing that the cheese trade was as fur developed as was possible, recognised the necessity for finding new products for export to Britain, and considered hoth butter and bacon were capabl- of indefinite development, for in neither did we begin tosupply a tithe of what the Eoglish market would absorb.In the bacon trade Canada had made wonderful progress, but out of -the 11 million dollars\u2019 worth shipped lant year the provinceof Que hee only supplied half a million.Mr Fisher thought thiscould hechangad.wo that the farmers of Quebec would enjoy the full benefits of the new trade.The first step towards doing 80 was to secure the sort of pig that made the baron required by the Eng- tinh customer.What was required wan a long sided animal, deep in the flank, with little fat and that well.mixed with the meat.The hreedn that met thesp reqnirements were the Tamworth, the Yorkshire, and the Improved Berkshire, and their erosres, The shart, heavy pig wan of no use in the hacon factory, which not only wanted Inngeidesand tapering bama, but wanted tender meat.ao that a pig over 6 montha was oh- jectionahle an a heavy fat one.The pig that weighed round 1801b was what waa asked for.THOS.WHITE said he had anid his vien.ronning from 1801b to 2501b, at $6.25 the hundred.A.S.CUNNINGRAM had got $6 83 for heavy hogs.Mr RayNor\u2014Yougot that for pork for lacal nan.W.F.STEPHEN sowed atieighth of an acre with vetchee into which he tarned 12 or 15 hogs when turning 2 montha old.By the time the vetches were eaten, clover was ready.He kept them pasturing 3 months, After a month he allowed them à ponnd of ground harlev and shorts to each hog.He fignred.when he anld them 5 mantha\u2019 old, that they had cost him $48 for feed, leaving $22 for lahor and akim-milk.Mr RayNor\u2014We pasture all our piga in Ontario.We sow a mixture of pear.nate, and rape, and find we ean raise pork at 3 cents a pound.so if we get 6 or 7 cents wamake money, For young pigs it pava to boil roots, eapecially potatoes, but when pigs are 8 ar 4 montha\u2019 old conking does not pay the time or labor.It makes little difference whether the meal be ted wet; or dry.I prefer myself to mix it to a thick connistency with ekim- wilk or whey.I believe in sonking and rouring the meal, Pigs waste a good deal when meal is fed dry.Yon should be careful not to give too much whey or skim-milk to your hog, for they can only assimilate a fized quantity.If you givethem too much, they will have indigestion.I always mix the solide with the drink.Grind the grain ae fine as you can get it.Several farmera demurred to the atatement that It did not pay to cnok feed, when Mr Raynor asked for their experience.Davip À.MoFARLANE said his practice was to cook all the food and give it to the hogs slightly warm.He put the faod in barrelsand then turn- od steam into them by a hose, which cooked the food quickly and with little trouble, Unless a farmer bad & steam-boiler it would hardly pay to cook the food, it would be too much work.He cooked three times a week and when taken out of the basrels the feed was slightly warm and sour,and much relished by the bogs.He considered by cooking he saved a great deal.On killing, be found the fat and lean well mixed in the hogs so fed.Several farmers confirmed the advantages derivable from cooking.Mr RAYNOR remarked he could see the advantage of cooking where skim-milk ie scarce.Me McFanLANE\u2014Milk fed cold is apt to give à young pig achill.It will pay any farmer who keeps 20 hogs to buy & steam-boiler.1fed turnips 3 winters and found they did not do well, especially with young pigs.Mr Raxnor\u2014Have you tried steaming cut clover bay with grain, it answers well?Mr MoFancaxE-I have not.Mr Raynon bere explained a table hung on the platiorm, giving the vais of dent Mids of fout, Hp gs em showed that foodsrich ia protein were the best for forming muscle, blood, and milk, and that those abounding in carbo-byrdrates formed fat.The object of the farmer was to mix the difterent kinds of fond no ns to get a telanced ration.Timothy bay was deficient in proteids and therelore good lor fattening but pot for milk.Clover wan beat, having the right proportion of the flesh forming element to fat, and so were oats.No mixture for finishing hogs was better than oats, peas, and barley ground together, Mr WaITE\u2014We raise lew peas, from their failing so often.Mr Raynor\u2014Have you tried the rans pea 7 It is small but rich, is hug proof, easy on the laud, and ood for feed.Its straw is equal to ont straw, It comes op like grues, very thick, and forms poda at the joints.Tfcut at the right time, use nmower, We sow a bushel to a bushel aud a pack to the acre; but generally we sow it aloog with oats and barley, all 8 ripeuing about the sume time, Mr WuiTE\u2014It is the wet that spoils our peas.Mr RayNor\u2014You will find the grass pea stands wet better than the ordinary pea.[Asked where the seed could be had he referred his enquirers to C.A.Zavitz of Guelph, but eveut- unlly promised to supply some bim- self] For breeding sows he fed man- zolds and sugar beets, with not much turnips, the kitchen slops, and a mixture of grain.Breeding sows need exercise.It is now agreed that «ll animals while carrying young ueed moderate exercise.Veterinaries now recommend that brood mares be ziven so much work.If your litters come weak, it is very likely due to your not giving the sow a yard to run in.Food that forms fat should not be given to a sow before dropping her litter.If ensilage is given, it should be in the proportion of one to 14 of other food.A farmer said his litters came all right but when 2 or 8 weeks old they bumped up and panted and died.Several farmers testified to great mortality in sucking pigs of late years, Mr RayNor\u2014] would say the trouble you have had is due to indigestion in the wother, and would not likely have happened had you given her access to rofl, rotten wood, or charcoal.In Ontario our largest breeders place where the pigs can have access to it when they like during the winter, a mixture of woodashes, salt, and sulphur, or copperas.Running in the fleld in summer they get all the mineral they want in the soil but in winter the farmer must supply the lack.The two fatal ailments in hogs are indigestion and constipation.JAMES STONEHOUSE of Port Perry, Oot.,who represented the government ut the Buffalo exhibition, described the test there made of the different dairy-breeds.At the beginning of May 5 of each breed were brought and kept together in a large stable until the 1st of November, during which time their food was weighed and their milk not only weighed but tested for butter-fat and solide.Every precaution was taken to have the test a fair one so as to flud out which of the breeds were the more profitable.The price placed on the different kinds of feed was the average paid for them in U.8.cities and for the butter 25c a pound was allowed and 9c for the other solide in the milk.Halt the herds were supplied by Canada, the other half by the States, but in no sense wasita contest between Canadians and Americans, but of breed against breed.The cows selected were, of course, the best available, fresh calved and in best milking condition.(The speaker here repeated the information as to the quantity of milk given by each herd, with proportion of butter-fat and solids, which will be found in an article.in last week\u2019s Gleaner.] The fodder supplied wag green clover-hay and ensilage, and it was noted that though\" the latter was always 48 hours old, having to be fetched 16 miles, it was tore greedily saten by the cows than the clover or even green corn.This showed that when pastures fail, ensilage is the food for your milk cows, One of our largest Ontario dairymen, Mr Tileon of Tilsonburg, who stores away each fall 9000 tons of ensilage, keeps 8000 for summer use.The feed given by the managers of the different breeds varied, but sobstan- tially were the same according to the analysis of foods, being a balanced ration.The Holsteins ate most and produced the largest amount of milk, but cost of their ration ate up the profit il the milk was used for better.It was the same with the Short Hors, During the hot spell, all tbe borde cuit from Um Wend, lesiond, wy ere rer Perte mises 7 { 4 .thought some would die, and strange to say, the Ayrshires suffered most.Despite that, the Ayrshire heed looked best at the end of the test and came ont the sleckeat, The Guernseys took the lead from the firat, but doring the last few weeka did not hold out.Between the Jerseys and them there was practically no differ- euce in their value as butter cows.The herds were milk d 3 times a day And were watered 7 or B timen, some.bowever, only B times.Alter a ful! feed it was observed they wanted n driuk at once.Oae lesgou learned by the test was, that cows should be watered often, and given water when they want it.Singular to say, during the hottest weather thecows took least water, shewing the heat al-eted their digestive apparatos.It was noted at tbe same time they chewed the cud less.When the hotapell came the milk of all went down in qnantity and quality.The temperature of 3 of the Ayrehires rose to 106 and 106% degrees, very near the danger point.The stable wns bot avd the only means of cooling the animals was to turn the hose on them, We learned that cows do beat when the temperature ranges between 60 and 70.and that heat over 70 or cold below GO checks the flow of milk.Dairymen will learn from this that during the heat of rummer it will pay them to give their cowa shade.or if they have a stone stable to drive them into it until the sun hegins to fall.Exposure to cold atorma is just as bad.Irrespective af breed it was observed that the beat milkers allhad a certain con- formation\u2014that is, were wedge shaped when viewed from front or ahove, head shapely and fine, long neck, and prominent spine.Cowan with fleshv spines did not do well.The gond milkers had deep barrels and well-aprung ribs.The Red Polls came out second to the Guernaeya and Jerseva, and, as they have nize.come nearer the general purpnseenw.good for milk and heef.ao much de- gired.than anv other breed.The French-Canadian in an economical praducer, hat amnall averaging T00H and are suited tn small families who need only a moderate quantity of milk.The row that paid heat war a Guernsey, which shawed a profit on the 6 manthe of $88 50 and the next an Avrahire $74 64.As the Avrahire gave the larger quantity of milk the difference might be made un in value of skim-milk, which, in the teat, war nat taken into acennnt.In total anlids of milk the Halateins tnok the lead.with the Avrshirer next.prav ing their valine for cheess, The Rhort.horn gained moat in weight of anv breed.The Duteh Belted herd earned Tenant: of anv, their net profit ner head being only $11 58.and that of their bent cow onlv $38.In answer to questions, Mr Stone- house anid the cows got no exercise during the test, unless heing taken © out at night: during the hot apell and walked a litt'e round the ham.He eonaidered a cow that gave lean than 60001.of milk or 2501.of butter in a season not worth its keep.According to their size, Holsteins cont no more to feed than Gnernseva.The French-Canadians wereeconomical in feed but did not produce enough of milk per head to anit à dairyman.The tent showed the quantity of butter-fat in a 100th of milk to he ar follows: Jersev4 58: Gnernaey 4 06: Avrahire 869: Short Horn 857: Holatein 8 25; French-Canadian 3 09° Dutch Belted 804: Polled Jersey 4.98.The milk of the Polled Jersey was the richest.but the gnantity given was email.They have been in- and-in bred fn order to fix the polled characteristic and are of low con- stitotion.Several farmers said they valved the Holstein because of their quality for eating rough fodder and being easily kept.One put the question whether it was advisable to cross the Ayrshire with the Short Horn.Mr StonEROUsE\u2014Where a farmer goes in for milk, he will not cross with the Short Horn, unless the Short Horn hechooses conforms with the dairy type, which a few of them do.The dairyman may aswell make up his mind, be cannot have both milk and beef.If he wants to sell steers and calves he will cross, for only the Short Horns and Red Polls have calves worth raising for the butcher.This closed the session.A report of the evening session will be given nest week.* Tiflis, Rossia, Nov.16-Erseroum bas again been visited by an earthquake.Altogether there were flity shocks, 10 of them being very violent.Twenty-two persons were killed, and 1000

who were captured have since been relensed Col.Hickins moved out to support the patrol and drove off the enemy.Marked progress is being made at Jobannesburge.The streets are resuming their normal appearance, And the demands for bourses are alread) exceeding the supply.An interesting discovery was made at one of the camps of prisoners of war a few days ago.One of the pri woners was missing when the roll was called.Ho was of continental extraction.A search was made for him all over the camp, but without result, votil someone began to tear up the floor of the hut, when, RUre enough, there was the missing man roncenled under the boards.Further research resulted in the discovery on his person of complete designs for the wrecking of traine, and the in- gennity of the invention lies in the fact that it makes use of a pilot engine as part of the machinery necespATy to accomplish the purpose, That is to aay, the invention is of such a nature that a pilot engine passing over the mine merely set going the machinery necessary for ita explosion, } Reporta fram phyaiciana in charge af the refngee campa confirm oll that has heen reported ahont the ignorance of the Baer women.These
