The fine,

Fine Oats
Mr. J. Brownscombe, of lot 16,
EIinloss, near the Black Horse,brought
several stalks of oats to this office on
'Thursday last, the heads of which
measured 18 in length. The field
from which the oats were taken will
yield between 60 and 70 bushels per
acre.
Cattle Shipment
On Monday last twelve car loads
of fat cattle were shipped from the
Lucknow station, ten cars of which
- - were for the Old Country markets.
Te owners were,Hugh Girvin,4

is- not the victim of the sportsman.
Qifr native birds are gradually dis-
appearing and in a few years will be
extinct. It is not -boys but full
grown men who are the criminals, and
justice ought to be meted out to them
with no gentle hand.
Make an Exhibit
In a few weeks- more the fall show
will be held in Lucknow, and every
farmer should lay his plansto make
an exhibit. He should study the
matter and determine to take some-
thing if it is not more than a fine
sample of his best wheat. Perhaps
some things from the garden are
worth having other people look at ;
e ers pears, plums or the like.
• A Pointer for Fun
,A. laced shoe race is the latest for
exhibitions. All those entering the
contest take off their laced shoes and
hand them to the referee. All the
• shoes handed over are put in a bag,
well shaken up, and dumped in a heap
on the ground. The one who first gets
his ehoes, puts theni on -and ties them
with a. bow knot is the winner.

A Rare Bird Now
' While out shooting in the woods
near Lucknow last week, a couple of
young men secured a fine specimen of
the wild pigeon. This bird is a rarity
in this section now, and one is very
seldom seen. Twenty Or twenty-five
years age this part of the country was
abundant with them. As Many of the
• old settlers-know-they-catne-Tiresnch_
numbers that they would darken the
sky. It required no skill of the
sportsman then to shoot them. Any
