C.Lee Jenkins being sworn in as coustable.The witnesses examined were the Messrs.Austin, Mr.McNally and Dr.Gilfillan.Inthe course of His testimony Dr.Gilfillan said it was possible that deceased might have died of heart failure before actually freezing.Act cidental death by freezing was the substance of the jury\u2019s verdict.Yesterday the body was taken to Crystal Lake Cemetery, where it was placed in the.vault.Deceased was last employed as a tool sharpener at James Brodie\u2019s quarry.He was a good workman, but badly dissipated.During a lapse of sobriety last summer he disappeared as completely as if the earth had opened up and swallowed him.When he \u2018came too\u201d he was in a swamp in the vicinity of Griffin.It is believed that on the fatal night Baldwin lost his way and wandered to the lonely spot where he met his tragic end.Deceased claimed to hail from New Brunswick when he first came to this section.In this place nothing is known of his antecedents or relatives.MAS SAWIPPI.Mrs.Carl Moulton went to Sherbrooke Monday to visit her father, Mr, J.Leavitt, at the hospital, It has been a week since his leg was amputated at the knee joint.He is doing well and stands a fair chance to recover.There was no service here Sunday, owing to the train connection at Sherbrooke.Mr.Joyce, student, went on to Hillhurst and held the regular service there.Miss A.Hitchcock has been ill and confined to her room with the grip.Mrs.L.Colt has recently had it, but is better and out again.Mise Sadie Smith has gone to North Hatley to remain a month at Mr.H.D.Turcott\u2019s.Mr.L.Colt left this week for a trip to Ontario.Why shake in our boots?If the people of Stanstead county, who have telephones, bave any ennd they will endeavor to make more favorable terms (than those predicted) with the new Telephone O.There is generally two sides to every question and we ought to be able to work our side for all it is worth.Mrs.Wellington Ruiter, an aged and well-known resident ot Stanstead township died last night at the home of her daughter, Mrs.O.A.Jenkins, Smith\u2019s Mills.She had been pooriy a lông time and her oondition became oritioal for some weeks.112 pc.89.50 English Set 87.50 WHOLE No.3444.SPECIAL PRE-INVENTORY.CLEARANCE SALE ON DINNERWARE.112 pc.815.00 Gold Band Set 812.00 100 pc.Gold Decorated Set 86.50 SAMPLE CLOSEOUTS AS FOLLOWS: 91.25 Oovered Dishes 8.65/81.34 Dozen Ple Plates 8 .90 76 14 Covered Plates B50;

eatie- fying all the desires of her heart.When he was taken from them of heart failure, suddenly on Nov.3rd, 1804, it seemed her heart was broken.Since then she has never ceased to mourn for him and visit the epot where his body lies, often asking the Heavenly Father to take her to join her loved one.There is loft to mourn her loss one sister and a goodly number of nephews and nieces in Btanstead Oounty and in the United States.LEADVILLE.Mrs.Fred Fields and danghter, of Mansonville, are spending & few weeks here at the home of ber pargais, Mt.and Mrs.E.Aikéoe.° Mr.Ralph Wheelock has been viett- ing relatives at Newport, Vt.Mr, Chas Brown visited relatives at North Newport recently.Mr.R.G.Orcutt died very suddenly Saturday, Feb.8rd.Mr.Orcutt was a resident of this place for many years, his father being one of the first settlers, but for the past few years he had lived most of the time at Beebe, and North Derby, moving back here last autumn.His death occured at the home of a nephew, Mr.Wright, Magoon, of Vale Perkins, where he was making a short visit.The bnrial services were under the auspices of the Free Masons, of which order deceased had long been a member.Of a genial kindly disposition he will be much missed by a large circle of friends.Deceased bad reached the age of 76.MAPLE VALLEY.Mr.and Mrs.Benton Stratton of Holland, visited her parents, Mr.and Mrs.O.B.Flanders, a few days recently.Mr.Lute Welch and Mrs.Sterling recently visited her daughter, Mrs.W.Merrill.Mrs.Major Merrill is a little better at this writing.She is attended by Dr.Brown.Much sympathy is felt for Rev.and Mrs.Smith in their sad bereavement.HERE AND THERE.A newspaper in Lewiston, Maine, because it called the International Paper Company a trust, is being sued for libel.Eleven lives were lost by the sinking of a British submarine boat by collision with a gunboat off Pertemouth, England, Feb.2 A big escape of gas which was noticed on the surface immediately after the sinking of the submarine indicated that the boat quickly filled with water.After two men deputy marshals failed to serve papers in a $1,800,000 railway suit in Dallas County, Mo., a woman succeeded by poeing as a book agent.This is another trinmph for the sex of the suffragettes, as a mere male agent with books is sometimes poena server.The Woodside plant of the Acadia Sugar Refining Company, located on the Dartmouth side of the Halifax harbor, was totally destroyed by fire Thureday evening, Feb.1, with a loss of considerably over one million dollars.The insurance, it is said, will come measurably up to the million, and there is not a company here but what is interested.Professor Bailey, of Yale University, in a lecture at Hartford, declared there were in the neighborhood of 300,000 tramps in the United States, who cost the country 81 a day to maintain.The professor suggested as a remedy the providing of working places for the tired ones.Compulsory hard work at no pay keeps the tramp away from a municipality.Herman Smith, 26 years of age, and a native of Cornwall, Ont., was instantly killed in a fall from the roof of a pit furnace at the Minnesota Steel Company\u2019s plant at Duluth, Minn., Jan.31.A truss on which he was working turned over unexpectedly, causing him to lose his balance.Striking on his head on the cement floor fifty feet below, he was crushed to a pulp.B.F.Pearson, proprietor of the Halifax Chronicle, died on the night of Jan.31st.He was the promoter of the Dominion Coal Co., and one of the organizers of the Dominion Steel Company.Many other large concerns were organized by him.In 1901 he entered the Nova Scotia Legislature as member for Colchester and was a member of the Provincial Government at the time of his defeat last year.The bill amending the charter of the town of Thetford Mines, which was before the Quebec Legislature recently, among other privileges, sought to change the name of the town, and to increase the liquor license fee to any amount not exceeding $1000.The privileges named were objected to by the Provincial Treasurer and the promoters of the bill agreed to drop the clause which was struck out without farther discussion.It was recently announced by Hon.J.E.Caron that convict labor will be used on the new provincial bighways, including tbe King Edward Road, if other labor cannot be obtained doring the busy summer season.A start has already been made on the latter and within a short time fourteen stone crushers will be at work on the material which is now being carted in.The Quebec government is undertaking the construction of three highways between Montreal and Quebec; one highway from Montreal to the international boundary near Rouse\u2019s Point, N.Y., and one from Quebec to the international boundary, via Sherbrooke.Should convict labor be need on any of these roads it would be the first time in the history of the province.It would, however, be a legitimate tse of convict labor and in line with what le being done in other pro- gressive countries.About as welcome a visitor as a sub- ONE SINGLE PILL SAVE GREAT RELIEF FOUR CURED \u201cI suffered from Klâney for Gin Pills.One single pill gave me selief.I have now es Ee soet four boxes of Gin Pills and find m: come ly No more humor in weight\u2014clear and This color-\u2014\u2014more strength vigor.is what Gin Pills have done for me*\u2019.H.POWIS HERBERT.Gin Pills will do the same for you\u2014 if bave any trouble with your K 7 or Bladder\u2014or if you suffer with Pain in the Back or Rheumatism, Try them before you buy them, Write National Drug & Chemical Co.of Canads, Limited, Dept.Q Toronto for free sample.Then get the lag size boxes at your dealer/s\u2014soc.a 6 for $2.50, et Water Works, Water Power, Patent Solicitor, Surveying, Bel! phone 349, People\u2019s phone, ENGINE BARGAINS.1 Olds Gasoline Fogiue, 83 h.p., almost new, run about a year, also 1 Leon Steam Engine, 18 hb, p.in good repairs, und boiler, 28h.p.Am selling to put in larger power and will offer th he separately at a bargain.owe together oF OPERA M, HASELTON.9041 Junction, Que.SUGAR RIG FOR SALE.Becond hand Bolling Rig.12 feet, made b: tbe Grimm Manufacturing, Montreal, u.bunt little and in first class condition.Inquire of A.A.LANGEVIN, Stanstead, Que.41% HUNT'S N ALL KINDS OF Heating a HECLA & KELSEY F OTHING has more to do with the health and happiness of the average home than;a Cooking Stove or Range that is sure to do its work right, consuming a reasonable amount of fuel;

the political millennium would be in sight.Educational qualification and compulsory voting are needed for the good of the country, but they would likely be unpopular from the politicians\u2019 standpoint.Western Canada is suffering from a serious grain congestion.Transportation facilities have not kept pace with the increased wheat production, and a late harvest aggravated the case.Large quantities of wheat have not yet been moved, and itis feared that damp grain will be ruined if it cannot be shipped before \u2018\u2018soft\u201d weather.The Canadian government has induced the Interstate Commerce Commission to waive certain restrictions to make shipment via.Minneapolis and Duluth practicable.Only a few years ago some people were protesting against the building of lines to compete with the C.P.R.as a ruinous policy.The three lines at present operating west of Lake Superior have not been able to handle this year\u2019s crop\u2014and the country has only begun to develop.More railways are wanted.Certain Montreal interests recently conceived the idea of relieving country municipalities of the responsibility of approving or disapproving applications for liquor licenses.The appointment of a permanent central commission, presumably in Mouotreal to control all licenses outside the large cities was recommended.The Montreal Chamber of Commerce has been canvassing some of the town councils to obtain their opinions upon the subject.It is rather difficult to imagine any municipality, however small, so devoid of self-reliance and so unmindful of the interests of its citizens as to willingly relinquish control of such an important matter.GREAT BRITAIN AND LIBERTY Mr.Lemieux Advises Freach-Osnadiane to Study History of England.AN APPEAL FOR TEMPERANCE.Speaking to young men in Montreal the other night the Hon.Rodolphe Lemieux, former postmaster-general, advised them to study the history of England as the British, better than any other people, bad learned to appreciate the utility and correctly gauge a parliamentary opposition.\u2018All oar liberties,\u201d he added, \u2018come from Great Britain,\u201d and he quoted the famous French writer, Gaston Boissier, who declared that the Latin nations had never properly understood the role of a parliamentary opposition, for, while in Britain the opposition is strengthened and supported, it was generally suppressed by the Latin races when becoming too critical.Referring to a brilliant French-Ca- nadian orator of that time, who had gone down to a premature grave, the victim of intemperance, Mr.Lemieux made an urgent appeal to his young compatriots in favor of temperance.He was not, he said, a crank on this question, but no one should be ashamed to join a temperance society.The liquor habit, he regretted to say, had almost become the French-Cana- dian\u2019s national vice, and again he appealed to his compatriots to do all in their power to stay the excessive use of alcholic drinks.MANHOOD SUFFRAGE.Premier Gouin's Measure Gives Vote to Every Man Earning $10 Monthly.Manhood suffrage is practically granted in the new Government act amending the Quebec electoral law.The bill provides in a wide sense that any one who earns $10 a month is & gnalified voter.By this latter provision the mass of the people become voters, and it would be difficult to say who ie excluded except vagabonds and tramps, of no known oc- cupatiof and of very uncertain income.Plural voting, which has existed in Quebec since Colonial Days is abolished, and the one man one vote principle is to be enforced.This will of itself become a notable step in advance in Quebec as each voter must qualify at his domicile and irrespective of what property he may have, he may vote but once.While property qualifications remains, the amount is not determined so long as it is property.The main feature of the act is that it extends the number of qualified voters by reducing to a minimum the property qualification and it regulates the principle of one man, one vote, by requiring that registration shall tuke place at the place of residence.Under the present law to be a pro- worth of property was required in any city municipality, or 8200 in real value in any other municipality.the son of a proprietor in the first instance, if for example, there at 8900 would be needed; vote by that fact iteelf.of being a tenant, is the best and quickest way to perfect health.Women and girls who suffer are simply weak \u2014weak all over.Opiates and alcoholic mixtures are worse than worthless, they aggravate the trouble and lower the standard of health.Scot\u2019s Emulsion\u2019 strengthens the whole y, invigorates and builds up.Be sure to get SCOTTS\u2014 it's the Standard and always the best ALL DRUGGISTS .11-21 ERISA can vote.Sons include also step- \u2018sons and grandsons in law.|! As to those who formerly qualified lon & revenue of 8300 they will now ibe registered on a return of 8120 a year.All workmen, tradesmen, do- F4 : mestics, clerks, sailors and others who can earn $10 a month will in future be entitled to the exercise of the franchise.The right to vote is extended to priests, clergymen, college profes sors and teachers without any other qualification.The Act provides that it will come into force on March 1, 1913, the reason of the delay being to give time tor the preparation of new voting lists which are usually prepared once in two years.CARD OF THANKS, We wish

three centuries, the Manchu dynasty, represented by the child Emperor Pu Yi, abdicated Monday.Edicte were issued, the first proclaiming abdication, the second dealing with the republic, and the third urging the maintenance of peace and approving the conditions agreed upon by the imperial premier, Yuan Sbi Kai, and the republicans.A continued point as to whether the tbrone shall be perpetuated or will terminate with the present Emperor's death, is not mentioned.; The legations consider that the first phase of the revolution has been con- eluded, but they fear that the.second may be more disastrous.The proposed Republican constitution consists of seventy articles.It followed the American model, except that the president and vice-president will be elected by congress, which will also name the premier, the latter selecting his cabinet subject to the approval of congress.It will establish religions freedom and provide for conscription.AID TO POULTRY RAISING.On Friday the Quebec Legislature voted $3,000 to encourage poultry raising in thie province.Something has already been done in some parts of the province to encourage farmers to build special \u2018\u201c\u201ccoops\u201d\u2019 for the prodaction of eggs and fattening of chickens.The promoters of the chicken industry in Montreal succeeded in arranging with tbe O.P.R.and Allan Steamship Company to supply themgwith chickens.\u201cQuebec milk fed poultry\u201d may now be seen on the bills of fare of the C.P.R.buffet service.When the matter came up in the Legislature Friday the sum of $3,000 was promptly and unanimously voted.The other agricultural items passed were: Grants to butter and cheese syndicates and inspection of same, $28,000; Provincial Agricultural Merit, 83,600; Arbor

viands as any bunch of healty men could wish.It was one long, beautifal temptation, and 24 of the members of the I.OC.Band and their guests, Mayor Melioon of Rock Island, Trustee O.M.Carpenter of Derby Line, Obas.E, Bennett of the local press, Edward Garceau and Wil- done much for the band, drew up and fell to under the spell of the keenest fellowship and cheer.After the luncheon, the decks were cleared for action with A.E.Bishop in the conning tower, and from that moment on the fusillade of oratory and wit was worth listening to, Mayor Melloon opened the battle with his 14 inch guns, shotted in behalt of the band, and tiere was a broad hint from the Mayor that his turrett was cited for a readopable appropriation for the boys, and the base drum rumbled amen.Trustee Carpenter tossed in a couple of stories from bis rapid fitrers cited on the efficiency of director Hovey and his team of coming musicians; the \u201cDevil\u201d shot bis usual charge of \u2018\u2019boiler plate\u201d from bis email calibre battery.Gar- ceau and Girard seemed to feel that their account against the band was paid to date and they were looking for work.With the flood wood out of the way, the real fun began, Dr.Lampron seemed to have admitidd that somebody \u2018had him\u201d, Louis\u2019 feet got cold, Frank, preferred to walk a mile and a half through rain and sleet to band practice to making a speech.Lawrence, cited to the benefit to a man ot week lung power from playing a born.George Emerson\u2019 proved by a former experience the value of pulling together.Charles Wells, spoke for the Butterfleld shops, considered it a benefit to the 156 men from their works that are members of the I.C, All this company needs to have a shop band, is a leader, but we all know there is but one and he has a job, .James N.forgot his text and lett his manuscript at home, bnt he got there just the same.Uncle David, carried off the palm, giving us a broad side of the real article; agreeing with the general sentiment that it is a good thing for a fellow to play a horn.Director Hovey lost his bAton in the shaffle, bat said be\u2019d had a very katosh time.Capt.Bishop seemed to be at home in the conning tower and guided his ship through the melee into clear water without breaking bulk or any head Sock occasion weld the hand of good fellowship more firmly and make men feel that life is worth while, the proceeds are for the band.MRS.OSMAN CASS.At Hatley Brook (between Fitch Bay and Oliver Corner) on Tuesday, February 6, Mrs.Osman Caes passed away at the age of 66 years.For some years Mra.Case has been a patient sufferer, who could keep the pain within her bedy and pass out the smile and friends as they called upon her.And instead of accepting sympathy, was always ready to offer it to any who met with misfortune or hardships.Recently when cottage prayer meeting were held in the community, although she could not attend, outside her home, yet there was not a more in- teresjed person.Some time ago realizing that her sickness was unto death, she made arrangements for her funeral then waited with patience until her Master should call her out of her euffering unto His Heavenly Home where she would be at rest in perfect peace.The maiden name of Mrs.Cass was Mary Davis.She was born in Bolton and was married 49 years ago.There devoted wite and mother, her husband, three daughters, Mrs.Stewart Harris, Mrs.Bert Miller and Mrs.Arthur Davis, and five sons, Homer, Lewis, Melvin, George and Oloff, all of whom reside withima few miles of the old home, all of whom are married except the last named and a large number ot friends who loved her for her true worth.The sympathy of the entire community is extended to the be- A.W.Parker reported a temperature feaved family.The funeral service was held at her late home on February 8,at 11 a.m.conducted at her request by Rev.J.J.Hutchinson of Lyndonvilie, Vt., assisted by Rev.R.Wilson Carr of Fitch Bay.The body was interred in the cemetry at Griffin.\u201cShe is not dead.\u201d The Sheep Industry in Canada.In July 1910 Messrs.Dryden and Ritch were appointed by the Dominion government to investigate conditions

sheep and the production of wool.Every man at all interested in sheep should send for a (ree copy.A postal addressed to the Live Stock C'ommissioner Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, will bring one.«

Ayer\u2019s Cliff, Friday morning, removes a familiar form and figure from the active stage of life.Last winter he contracted pneumonia and was in a critical condition for weeks when the last hope was practically abandoned, he began to improve, to the surprise of his friends, his recovery proving hie wonderful recuperative powers, for a man of his advanced age.He never fully recovered his strength, however, but kept about until within two days of his death when he took to his bed.Deceased was well know throughout Stanstead County.For a number of Years he was secretary and treasurer of the Stanstead County Agricultural Society, an office which brought him into contact with people from far and near, especially among the agricultar- al classes.For a much longer period he was the local representative of several well-known insurance companies, and also did considerable work of a \u2018notarial\u201d character.A few years ago, owing to advancing age, he quietly laid down the reins he had so long held, his mantle falling largely upon his son Mr.F.J.Robinson.The late Mr.Robinson possessed many amiable gualities which won for him a host of friends; of enemies he had none.Deceased was twice married, his fret wife being Elizabeth Sanborn of Whitefleld, N.H., who dled eleven years ago.Hie second marriage some seven years ago, was to Mrs, À.M.Hunt, widow of the late M.E.Hunt, who predeceased her second husband by a few years.In his decline and final illnees Mr.Robinson was carefully attended by his son and daugh- ter-in-law, Mr.and Mrs.F.J.Robinson.The funeral services were held in the Union Church at Ayer\u2019s Cliff, Monday afternoon, Rev.G.Ellery Read of Sherbrooke conducting the service.Deceased was a member of Golden Rule Lodge, No.5, A.F.& AM.and ,a goodly number of the brethren of that order were present to take part in the last ead rites.The late Mr.Robinson was 83 years of age.CANADIAN RAILWAYS, Although Canadian Railways operate through a new country, and for the most part thinly settled territory they have been able to improve their lines and the service to such an extent that they are now attracting the attention of travelers all over the continent.A gentleman who recently traveled through Canada using both the Grand Trunk and the Grand Trunk Pacific, bas written to one of the Railway off - clals as follows: It occured to me that the exception- \u201c\u2018ajly good and efficient service that I shad, was worth calling your atten- sition to, especially in the splendid sdining and sleeping cars that you ran.Ihave had occasion to travel \u201con many of the largest and important \u201cTrunk lines in America, and can say \u201cwithout aor an that 1 have \u201cnever hoster Pan, or more ex-.\u201coellent 4 Ring oars.\u2019 East Bolton,

February 6th, under the auspices of the Ladies Aid was an initial success.the evening being fine a large crowd was present, fllling the room to its capacity.A very attractive program was secured and

and with the doughnuts and coffee was very much enjoyed and appre- olated by all present.The proceeds of the evening amounted to $16.50.The funeral of the late Mrs.Hiram | Woodward, of North Hatley, was held in the Abbott schoolhouse on Monday, Feb.12th, at 11 o\u2019clock a.m., Rev.E.E.Marggrat, of North Hatley, officiating.Music was rendered by the choir.The service was largely attended by

when I did not get the JOURNAL every week, since my father subscribed for it when I wag very young, .and have had it ever since.\u201d ABOUT OUR NEIGHBORS.Judgment in the case of J.P.Marchand, charged with setting fire to the Holy Oross Oollege, Farnham, January 30th, was given by District Magistrate, Mulvena at Bweetsburg, Monday, che lad being found guilty.Copsidering his youth he was allowed to

Lennoxville has petitioned the council of the latter village for a free site, free water, the constrvetion of sidewalks and placing of street lights on the road to the Ames property which had been chosen by the committee.The representatives of the college also want the village of Lennoxville to subeoribe to stock in the institution to the extent of $6,000.The matter came up at & meeting of the council last week.A number of alternative sites were suggested which could be obtained upon reasonable terms, and the matter was laid over for future conference with Mr.Campbell.McManamy\u2019e block located on Wellington Street, Sherbrooke, was gutted by fire, starting at about 6.30 a.m.Tuesday.Among the tenants were W, H.Griffith, druggist; L.E.Chamberlain, shoes; P.D.Authier, stationery; Leonard & Juneau, and H, Duffett, law offices, C.O.Biron, notary; John J.Griffith, appraiser and the City Club, whose rooms were on the top floor.The greatest loss was in the drug and shoe stores, although water caused considerable damage in the stationery store.The total damage is estimated at $30,000, a considerable portion of which is on the building.A defective stovo pipe caused the fire.A meeting of the officers and non- commissioned officers of the 13th Scottish Dragoons was held at Brome Friday, Lieutenant Colonel B.B.Mor- rill, of Rock Island, presiding.For two successive years the regiment has won the efficiency shield, and in the course of his address Coi.Morrill counseled his hearers to prepare for a similar success this year.The business meeting was followed by a supper at the Central Hotel.Bedford is to have an up-to-date electric lighting system.A.A.Ayer of Montreal has purchased the power and fixtures from Homer Uampbell and will install a modern equipment.The old

building.The school will have elementary and model grades.Consolidation plans were accomplished at a largely attended meeting at the Dustin hill schoolhouse recently.The principal speaker at this meeting was Dr.J.C.Sutherland, of Quebec, Inspector- General of Superior Schools.In the recent telephone shuffle the Bell got the city of Sherbrooke, and retained Magog.It will also have the long distance business over the lines of the newly organized E.T.company, in which it will be largely interested.The Bell officials have always contended that the straggling lines and village exchanges were the lean end of the telephone business.That they should help themselves to a few fat slices is not surprising; it is only human.Mr.Gilinan, collector of customs at Mansonville, has been dismissed for political reasons.His successor is Mr.D.A.Manson, who bas been a staunch adherent to the Conservative cause as long as the average man can remember.Mr.Manson represented the county in the Federal

3,110 shares.OUR MAIN STORE CASWELL & O'ROURKE STORE CO.Columbia Coffee, Squires Bacon, Bag and Link Sausage, Lard, Pickled Pigs Feet, Western Beef, no bone, GROCERY DEPARTMENT Squires Skinned Back

and digest more than he can use.So it Is not a fact that a pig can take care of all he can eat.There is no feed better for young pigs and calves than sweet skim milk right.from the separator.Pigs, sows, and fattening hogs should be kept in separate inclosures.They will be healthier and derive more benefit from thelr feeds by such handling.The most profitable pork is produced by using as largely as possible other feeds than corn.Pointers for Dairymen A real good cow has large, promli- nent milk veins and a rich, velvety skin.When the dairy farmers of a community begin buying pure bred bulls it augurs well for the dairy business in that section.It's a mighty easy thing for one man to advise another to be kind to his cows so that they will give lots of milk.It ls sometimes quite another thing to follow out such advice.He knows best who has tried to milk a kicking heifer on a hot evening in fly time.Of course there is nothing to prevent being kind to this helfer \u2014 nothing except human nature.and human nature always seems to find expression most easily under such circumstances.A few minutes each day spent in cutting some green fodder and throw- Ing it over the pasture fence for the cows, or better still, feeding it in the stable, is time well spent.It will result in larger cream checks right now and more economical feeding next fall and winter.Scours in pigs accompanied by pains in the bowels can be cured by giving each pig 25 grains eubnitrate of bismuth and 10 drops laudanum at each dose two or three times daily.Cooking the feed for pigs having diarrhaea is a good remedy; add some lime water to feed and give some singer in every feed First Expert Chess Player: \u201cWon't you eit down and play a game with me?\u201d = d Expert Chess Player: \u201cI can ve an important engagement ia six weeks\u2019 time.\u201d - GETS OF RARE COINS.Addition te the Collection of the Numismatic Society.The members of the American Numismatic Society, made many notable additions to its colleo- tions in 1907.One member donated a collection of gold and silver coins \u2014about 3800 silver and 200 gold\u2014- the value of which is variously estimated at from $25,000 to- $50,000.This gift, the name of whose donor is not yet made public, has not been entalogued, but it embraces numerous rare specimens hitherto missing from the society's collection.President Archer M.Huntington, as has yearly been his custom, gave many jnteresting specimens, among which was an entire proof set of gold and silver coins of Queen Victoria for the year 1893; five gold coins of Japan, Tunis, Italy and Russia; also many of the recent issues of the Bel- glum Numismatic Society, which included medals of Count De Flandres and Admiral De Ruyter, and a nuum- ber of Grand Army badges which were issued in connection with the recent Saratoga convention.These were added to the Society's department of badges and insignia.Former President Daniel Parish, Jr., gave two very rare South American medals struck in silver, six fine gold Roman coins of ancient issue, à large bronze medal of Henry War] Beecher, and many early store calus or tokens.J.Sanford Slatus, who is an authority on American insignia, presented sixty specimens of gold and enamelled foreign insignia, a full set of money of Edward VII., which included the Maundy money; three silver Salmagundi Club medals, a full proof set of United States colons for 1907 in gold and silver; two of the new twenty-dollar gold pieces of \u201ce Saint Gaudens design, also the ten dollar gold plece; a full proof set of the Philippine coinage for 1908, five bronze foreign war medals, a full set of the medals issued in connection with the English Bury St.Edmunds pageant, and a full set of medals commemorating the 700th anniver- gary of the foundation of Liverpool.Edward D.Adams gave two brouze placques showing the obverse and reverse of the Str Francis Drake medal and an electrotype copy of the silver world map showing the voyage made by Sir Francis Drake 1577- 1580.He also presented a silver jubilee kroner of Francis I.of Austria and a beautiful bronze medal issued by the city of Florence in commemoration of Paolo Toscanelli and Amerigo Vespucci.The committee on publication of medals of which Mr.Adams 1s chairman, donated the first impression in silver and bronze of the Sir Francis Drake medal.An important gift was made by two of the mint engravers of the United States at Philadelphia, Messrs.Morgan and Barber, who have designed nearly every coin turned out by this government for the last thirty years or more.Sixty of the specimens of their most important work were presented to the society by the mint engravers.Mrs.Jane L.Nichols gave an interesting collection of sixty-five South American gold and silver coins.Robert McLachlan, the authority on Canadian metallic issues, presented a number of Canadian religious medals.W.Boerum Wetmore, the well known collector, donated 250 Oriental colns to that department of the soclety\u2019s collection, which is becoming an important section.What Happens in a Forest Fire.The tragedies of the wild are brought home to the human beings of this world when the fires occur in forests that extend close to settlements.Many little farm shacks located in clearings of the Western woods, are completely wiped out by tnese fires, and many are the tales of heroism told by frontiersmen whose fellows bave fought for their homes and sometimes for the lives of themselves and their families.The 2p- proach of a forest fire js usually heralded by great flocks of birds taat fy overhead going with the wind and away from the fire.Soon after a migration of crawling and creeping and running things is noticed, and this is followed by a smell of smoka.The atmosphere seems to become satar- ate.with the odor of burned wood and grass, and sometimes when the fire is still a mile away the air becomes heated as from a furnace.If the frontiersman has a large enough clearing surrounding his home he is frequently able, by the use of switches and wet blankets, to stop the fire and let it burn around his home without destroying it.If the clearing is small, however, the cinders and flames carried by the wind, leap the clearing space and lick up the buildings, the cattle, and the people themselves.Forest fires are sometimes started by hunters, who are careles.in throwing away matches alter trey have lighted their pipes, by wo-d- choppers, who leave fires after coox- ing thelr meals, by the sparks {rom stacks of locomotives, and by hundreds of other ways.\u2014Illustrated Sunday Magasine.English capitalists and Japanese manufacturers have organized a trust to control the Japanese match output.The trust, which will be capitalized at between $2,500,000 and $5,000,000 to be equally subscribed by the Japanese and the English will also in- cludr the smaller markets.One of the aims of the trust will be to ex.|siiders.tend the market for Japanese matohes into Burope and Australie.WARNING TO SLIDERS.Notice is hereby given that the by-law prohibiting sliding on the and sidewalks of village of Roc!

These sre Amongst the Most Serious of Farm Posts and Ought to be Chased to the Death.The plant referred to generally as the Canada thistle is not, as a matter of fact, a native of Canada at all, but of Europe, from which continent it was brought over many years ago.| The plant is a perenniatb with deep running root stalks, little less persistent than quack grass.The stalks grow from two to four feet tall, and in June and July produce a large number of rather small purple or leaves are long and slender, sprinkled, and very prickly.This is the worst of our thistle pests and very difficult to get rid of, but the most effective work of eradication is by plowing or cutting just after the plants come into bloom, and before there has been any opportunity for them to form seed.On land which can be put into cultivation, the plants should be plowed under at this time or they may be mowed down and the land plowed as soon as new growth starts.The land should then be gone over frequently during the summer and fall with some form of surface cultivator, cutting off the new shoots as fast as they appear above the ground.The next year the land should put into potatoes or some other cultivated crop and thorough cultivation given during the season.Where the land cannot be cultivated, as in rough pastures, mowing when the plants come into bloom and at intervals thereafter so that no seed is produced and the top growth {is kept down, will prevent their spread.If the cutting be done with the hoe below the surface of the ground, and salt or kerosene applied to the roots, the plants can be killed out even more rapidly.REAR SALE HORSES The man who has a horse for sale should make him fat before offering him.The increase in price will always pay for the feed many times over, even if the latter 18 high in price.Feeding can be done better and cheaper by the farmer than by the city dealer.Conditions indicate that those who have the feed on hand could not do better than buy up a few good horses and prepare them for sale, urges \u201cThe Farmer's Advocate.\u201d An expert horseman has little difficulty In picking out the good ones, even if they are thin.Extra quality will usually be recognized, even if the animal is low in flesh; and, for the farmer with plenty of feed at his disposal, there are few more profitable undertakings than to purchase some of these good animals which are thin in flesh, and fit them for sale.Thie class of horse can always be had, because, unfortunately, there are always those who, because of scarcity of feed, or for other reasons, are forced to sell, and these animals can be bought right, and sold at a subtantial profit.For all those who can, it would pay to give the horse extra feed and improve his condition before placing him upon the market.City dealers do not hesitate to pay increased prices for their horses, provided they can get the finished horse, and someone must fatten these horses before they can be profitably sold to these men.A Dairyman\u2019s Yara A bunch of dairymen were together a few days ago, spinning yarns about the cow when one of them sprung this: \u201cWe had a cow once and one of the boys by mistake left a pall of gasoline stand where she could get at it.She tasted the juice and liked it, so, lapped it all up.Some time later we heard an awful commotion in the cowyard.I ran down and saw the ocow galloping around, Yelling \u2018Honk, honk, honk, honk!\u2019 When I saw the empty bucket I knew that the cow was suffering 'auto-intoxication\u2019 We oouldn't get the animal into the barn, so I painted a sign \u2018garage\u2019 and hung it out.In she steered.We had to cut a hole in her hoof to keep her quiet until the effects of the gas wore off.You see, she thought she had blown up a tire when the hoof was punctured.\u201d Poultry Pointers It is too late to be setting eggs.For this reason it is well to take the male birds out into a pen by themselves.Throw open the windows every night, but tack some wide-meshed cloth or screen of some kind over them to keep out things that have no business in the house.Sort the young growing stock as to size, it will give them all an equal chance and you wili find they will grow better and less trouble will be experienced.When there are two pens of fowls in the same house, separated by a partition, the drink dish may be set in the partition so that fowls may drink from both sides.It should rest on a shelf so that it may be easily removed for cleaning and disinfecting.Fall Plowing Advoeate.It is almost always advisable to plow clay lands in the autumn.If clay land can be plowed shallow svon after the hay is removed in the case of sod, and after the crop is taken off In the case of stublne, it is so much better, as it not only ensures a good reservoir for holding moisturé, but also stores up more available fertility than where the soil is plowed but once.Destroying the Germ.: It the broad end of the egg le pricked with a fine needle, this will effectively prevent it from hatching.Dipping in boiling water slightly coagulates the white, and likewise renders the egg useless for iacuba- tion A VERY WISE KING Advised Strengly the Baising of Cattle as Sell Fertility Bestoress ~ and Earners of Dividends.ft 1s related of Frederic the Great that after the cruel Seven Years\u2019 War fn which Prussia was almost ruined financially and otherwise, this great king and warrior went about among his people, more particularly farmers, loaning pull tere them money te make a start, offering advice and help wherever needed, that Be invariably advised the farmers to in for cattle-raising.A man wou come to him and say, \u201cI don't like cattle; I prefer horses,\u201d or some other line of farming, but the scarred warrior would reply: \u201cTake my advice, and raise cattle; they will restore your soil fertility and pay dividends from the first\u201d Fortunately the Prussian farmer profited by this advice, and we have in the German Empire a forcible example of what cattle raising can do to restore the fortunes of a practically bankrupt nation in the 18th century.What was good advice at that time is good advice to-day in Canada, and everywhere that nations are making a beginning.Breeders of Holsteins can help very much in national prosperity by selling pure-bred bull calves to the average dairy farmer at a reasonable price.We have heard men say that if they could not get thelr price for a bull they would sell him to the butcher rather than take a lower price.A good animal sold in a locality, formerly inclined to under value pedigreed stock, would be bound to win favor, and in the end would result in increased demand for pure-bred males, and consequently increase the profits of breeders in the long run.Insurance Against Hafl Switserland is one of the countries where insurance against hail has made most progress.It may be said that there is not a single canton where there are not some persons insured against this scourge of the farmer, and all the products grown in the country (cereals, fruit, vegetables, etc.) may be gharanteed against hall risks with the national insurance companies.The authorities of the cantons realized 80 well the advantages that would accrue to the district by encouraging the spread of insurance among farmers, that in 1908 there were only five cantons which were not benefiting by the provisions of the law.The other twenty expended In this way a total sum of 376,888 tranes in 1908; in some cantons the money was used as part payment of premiums, in others the costs of the insurance policies were paid with it while in others it was kept as & re serve capital.Water for the Cattie Cattle invariably prefer to drink water that is pumped from a deep well of artesian water flow through pipes, rather than to drin water from what seems to be the purest and clearest of springs or branches.We often find cows and hogs will go straight from a pasture well supplied with pure spring water and will be quite thirsty for water in the troughs from the pump or tank.Attended to vehicle Springs It is the attention to small matters about the farm that makes the dif- \u201cGINITez DUT SSCO0NS U00MJOGQ cOUBIOZ Not the least of these is the equipment of the heavy farm wagon with springs.A pair of bolster springs will frequently save their cost on one load of fruit, vegetables or eggs, or, in fact, on any article spoil- able by the jolt and jar of rough roads and springless wagons.They add greatly to the usefulness of any vehicle.They save repair bills \u2014 make the pulling easier, effect a saving of harness and add to the comfort of the driver.Cows and Their Food During the recent drought in the southwest the buttermilk made directly from fresh sweet milk was discovered to cause diarrhoea and other unpleasant symptoms, although it had for several months before been found entirely satisfactory.Investigation led to the conclusion that the change was due to the cows eating weeds and leaves of trees instead of grass.The feeding of cows from which infants\u2019 milk is obtained is especially ime portant at all times of year, as well as their care otherwise.Milk produced in northern pastures and cone dense\u201d or evaporated without the application of a temperature above 60 degrees F.may be superior to the local milk obtained fresh.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Is the Show Ring Useless?One of the most prominent gentle men connected with racing affairs in the country being toast-master at a recent social function, saw proper, in the course of a lengthy speech, to use this language: \u201cThe thoroughbred is the essential oll, so to speak, of horse flesh.The show ring is useless as a method of selection and will ultimate ly go far astray with its theoretical requirements as to a conformation based upon what is deemed best for k something the horse used to do.With all honor and respect due the bench show, we all know what havoc it has played with breeds of sporting dogs which have ceased to be used for the original purpose for which they had been developed by the sportsmen.\u201d K Regular Accounts Ordinarily farmers do not keep ao- counts of the different farm opera tions.Too often one Is surprised to lsarn that a certain farm operation has cost so much and has produced #0 little in return.Every good farmer should at least keep a credit and an expense account.The habit of keeping farm account is one highly to be commended.It's the unexpected the\u201c always apenas, caresriglly to the man who \u2018a niv ays dead sure he can never be rong.Some of us are so easily fooled that the wolf wastes time putting on sheep's clothing.- CAN'T BE TOO CLEAN Paieying is Profitable, but te Make and Keep It So Demands Attention te Miner Details.The matter of cleansing dairy utensils is a big proposition, and where, there Is a large herd of cows it is almost a necessity to have a steam boiler in the dairy building.-Clean- ing may be done by hot water, but this is a slow and hard process of washing, where by steam the work can be done quickly and cheaply.In addition to added \u2018convenience the boiler furnishes heating for a dairy building in winter and provides power where any is necessary, for separating milk and churning, etc.The power is beneficial and adds to the cheap production of dairy products, but cleanliness is the great essential in the dairy business.This can only be obtained by an abundance of hot water or steam.The dairy business is one of the progressive branches of our agriculture, and, has been proved to be & very profitable business, worthy of the best brains of those engaged In agricultural work, and to get the most out of it requires attention to the small details, as well ae a wide knowledge of methods of feeding, stabling and general care of cows and of the methods of handling and disposing of the dairy products.NOTHING LIKE PURE BRED + POULTRY The reason that scrub poultry always proves unsatisfactory may be understood by considering the rela-, tion which they bear to certain laws of breeding.These laws hold good whether with plants or animals, whether with birds or beasts.The law of inheritance that \u201clike begets like\u201d means that certain of the characteristics of a parent are inherited by the offspring and the apparently contradictory law, the law of variation, tha \u201clike begets unlike\u201d means that eve offspring differs from its parent some extent.If a variety of fow has been bred pure for a great num ber of generations and in eve generation only those allowed to liv which conform to a certain type, tha resulting offspring are very likely to possess a uniformity of type and characteristics similar to that in the birds which have been used for breeding through the previous generations.À bird resulting from such a line of breeding is prepotent, which implies that it has the power to imprint its own likeness upon its offspring.To Preserve Vegetables Vegetables properly prepared and stored in a good cellar can be kept as good as new far into the following summer.Potatoes and all roots will keep better if covered with dry earth.Cabbage and lettuce should be trimmed of rough leaves and roots, and packed head downwards.For celery, take all rough, worthless stalks and leaves off the roots, place close together on the cellar floor and fill in between the plants with fine sand to nicely cover the roots.If properly done the celery will keep until June.Onions, if well cured, can be kept in long boxes a foot deep, suspended two feet from the cellar ceiling.All stuff should be covered with cotton sheeting or old bags, to keep it from sudden changes of temperature by opening doors.The cellar should be kept at a forty to forty-five degrees temperature.With just a little care and trouble fresh vegetables can be in use every day In the year.Fighting the Hessian Fly When fall wheat is attacked by the Hessian Fly sowing should be postponed as late as possible, that is to the end of September.By this means the young plants will escape the second or summer generation of flies and their eggs will not be deposited on the young wheat, as it will come up after the flies have disappeared.If care is taken in the preparation of the land and a little fertilizer used any loss which might be experienced owing to the late sowing will be made up, apart from the fact that the increase In yleld incident to the young plants escaping the Hessian Fly will be considerable.This procedure has proved successful in Ontario and also in the United States, and from its results appears to be the best remedial measure that can be adopted.To the

LF.W.D.MELLOON, 1 AC I= J = DON'T LIKE IT ANY MORE.| Beebe\u2019s Once Curiously Interesting Post- office Becomes an Absurdity\u2014Cana- dian Handled American Mails.- Trouble is brewing over the post- office at Beebe Plain, Vermout.Some years ago the United States and Canadian postoffices at Beebe were housed i together and virtually placed in the hands of one man\u2014principally as a matter of convenience to the patrons of the two offices.For years this joint postoffice has been regarded eimply as one of the curiosities of the boundary country.\u201cTourists\u201d were always interested, and more Kodak filme have been wasted upon the old stone structure, with its two postal signs, than upon any other building in this section.The friendly union of the two offices has been the eubject of a number of press sketches, in which there was not the slightest hostility until within a few weeks.Recently, however, some \u2018\u2018bad blood\u201d has been stirred up because, it is alleged, a Canadian happened to be handling United States mails.Mr.C.F.Bay- ley, the official postmaster at Beebe Plain, Vt., was charged with farming the office ont to the Canadian postmaster, retaining only 875, out of the annual salary of $5632, for the use of his name.As the result of the \u2018\u2018hal- labaloo\u201d thus started, and the report of the U.8.inspector sent on to investigate the case, Mr.Bayley\u2019s res- iguation was called for.And now the scandal of having Uncle Sam's mails housed with Miss Canada\u2019s is troubling the American nation in general and the Vermont press in particular.7 MINTON.Mr.Armitage, of Ooaticook Woolen Mills was in this vicinity for the week-end with his woolen goods and yarns.\u2019 Mr.Morton Qousens, of New York, called on friends here Monday.Miss Helen Shedrick spent the week-end with her uncle, Mr.Slick.Mrs.H.R.Slack is spending a few days with her daughter, Mrs.Thos.Oohoon, at Albert Mines.Miss O.Meyer, Sherbrooke, spent Sanday

below sero the cold was acoom- panied by a strong wind.returned ~ HOCKEY.Olympics vs.Richmond.Those who went to the rink Saturday evening expecting to see a walkover for the home team were disappointed.From a spectator\u2019s standpoint it was an interesting match.The opposing forces were very evenly balanced\u2014and it was either team\u2019s game almost to the end.The visitors were \u2018good sports.\u201d Their mettle was proven when, in the face of a gale, with the thermometer away down below zero, they drove across country trom Coaticook to keep their engagement at Stanstead.The Grand Trunk train was about an hour late at Richmond and the B.& M.re- | fused to wait at Sherbrooke; this necessitated the drive.The true sportsmanship of the Richmond boys was again shown when, in the first half, the umpire failed to see an effective shot to goal and the score was not counted.In the end they accepted the \u2018fortunes of war\u2019 gracefully, admitting that the best team had won.The game started off with a rush and throughout there was no lagging on either side.The heavy body checking by the visitors threw the Olym- | pics off their guard at the outset and\u2019 it took them some time to recover, but their defensive work was good.For ten minutes or more at the opening the visitors kept the puck flying about the Olympic goal, without scoring.The first goal recorded was to the credit of the home team, The Richmond goal keeper had such an easy time at the outset that he was caught napping when the Olympics finally broke loose.After that he did splendid work throughout the game.The locals played clean, fast hockey.Their rushes were brilliant and they were quick as lightning to follow back wheneVer they were baffled in a forward movement; the goal was well covered at all times.While all the players did well the work of Seguin of the Olympics and Oaswell of the Richmonds was worthy of special mention.The first six goals were scored alternately by the opposing teams, but the superior work of the Olympics counted, when as the end approached they added two to their string and won out by that number, the final score being 5-3.The line-up was as follows: Olympic Richmond Hebert Goal Taylor Point Mactarions Lang ; Point Burbank Bassett ver Boucher Moulton guet Caswell Young RW.Cook The game was well handled by W.B.Frost and Kenneth Leith.Rock Island, Que.BRESETTE CORNERA pleasant and profitable meeting of the W.C.T.U.was held on Feb.7 at the hospitable home of the Misses A.and E.Wadleigh.A goodly number were present and

-of pleasure to those interested in the growth and progress of this important factor in the life of our villages.The last two months they have made a wonderful improvement, as they are playing a much better class of music and they are doing it well.Mr.Hovey is eutitled to much commendation for his leadership and the men are worthy of having good things sald of them for being loyal in their attendance at the practices Tuesday and Thursday evening of each week.The results that were revealed at the concert fully warrant this par- - |agraph.It would be difficult to find a similar number of young en banded together for such a purpose, that present a cleaner appearance.They are of the best we have and as we watched and listened at the concert we were proud of them.We congratulate and thank the boys for what they are contributing to the success of our village lite.From 800 to 1,000 people listened to the outdoor concerts for seventeen evenings laet summer and we looked for a full house when there was a small charge to secure funds for needed supplies, but the proceeds were about one hundred dollars, just one hundred dollars less than it should have been.We publish the program:
