remarks, introduced- Mr, Gould to
speak on dairying. He wants stables
above ground with plenty of sunlight
in them and kepe clean and cornfor
table; prefers ensilage as food for dairy
cows- to any kind of roots; would cull
out an cowl; mit up to the standard,
and by good care, kindness and clean-
liness, would be eblo to got the best
results. Ile advocated the inspection
of all butter shipped to Britain and
none to' be allowed to go but first-class
and then the desired ultiniatiou of all
creamery and no private 'dairy butter
would soon be attained. He feeds en-
silage to his cows every day in the
year, giving about 4 lbs per day when
the grass is good in June and 50 lbs in
wjj1ter; gives 6 lbs bran to each cow
tIWyear round. One lb bran is worth
more then 1 lb of grain. He gives
lbs. peas the next week, along with
the bran, also gives pea straw and oat
straw each alternate week in *hater.
Mr. Gould is a very entertaining talker
and can tell a good story exceedingly

A Stand Pipe
The village council are seriously
consiioring tho question of building a
stand pipe in connection with the
water works plant in the village. As
cord wood is getting scarce in this
neighborhood, and we nederstand it
will require some two hundred dollars
to procure enough wood to keep up a
constant fire under the boiler for the
year. There is no doubt about it, that
by the crection of a stand pine, a great
deal of the cost for wood could be
saved, and we see no reason why a
pipe or tank of sufficent capacity
could not be erected on Ballaclava hill
without incurring a great expesme.
It will cost niore on the sitart, but
the great saving effected in the oper-
ation of the plar.t. and in the saving
of wood, would in a very few years
more than compensate for the outlay
in building it.

ITHE FURNITURE FACTORY
Editor Lucknote Sentinel
DEAR SIR—A few years ago the
Municipality of Lucknow made a loan
of five thousand dollars to Messrs
Cliff& Forster, at that time proprietors
of the furniture factory here, for the
purpose of preventing the removal of
the factory to Rome other illace, and to
go toward 'improving the plant. The
money wasi to be payed back to the
town in equal annual instalments of
$250, without interest for ten years,
at itt expiretion of which time the
balance, twenty•five hundred dollars
became due. The corporation taking
Jul a security a mortgage on the
buildings. The council borrowed the
money neceseary to make this loan for
a term of twen,yi, years, paying it
back in equal annuit instalments with
the accrueiug interest. If our memory
serves us right the firm in return
fuaranteed to keep the factory running
so many months in the year, except-
ing when shut down for repairs, and
to keep al certain number of men in
In Cctober 1896 Messrs. Cliff &
Forster disposed of the 'plant to a joint
stock company organized for tbe
purpose, most of the shareholders being
ratepayers, among the business men
and workmen . A few months ago
this company, The Lucknow Central
Furniture Co. Ltd., advertised the
factorytfor sale and since then have
been dismissing their employees one
by one until less than ten remain, in-
cluding the manager.
Under such circumstances the
council who are pledged to look after
the welfare of the village should in-
vestigate the matter and find out why
he stipulations are not being carried
out. If the firm now owning - the
factory can not run it and cannot
council should see if any offers could
be made to induce them or some other
rm to keep it in opperation. If they
re not at liberty to offer any such
nelucements nor to render any assist
noe, let them call a meeting of the
atepayers aL. which the will of the
itizens can oe ascertained. It will
ot pay the tnunicipality, to let the
actory stand idle, while other towns
ore thoroughly alive to their intereets
re making all sorta of liberal o ffers to
duoe the establishment of manuf-
turing industries in their midst.
n the case uf the Doherty organ
actory in Clinton lately burned down,
e council has offered we are led to
leive, to loan Mr. -Doherty twenty -
e thousapd dollars for twenty-five
ears without interest and not secured
mortgege. The longer a factor
nds idla tbe more difficult is it to
ect a sale and the greater the merl-
e that the town will have to make
fc.re it can be again made an active
ge-payiug industry. Trusting that
ose who have been elected to repres-
t the village, PRO BONO PUBLICO will
wide awake and act promptly
the present crisis' YouNCIttrutzley;.

not always invincible as a curler, he
was generally victorious here; and it

ious, the playing all through being
exceptionally good. At the beef and
greens' dinner which followed we are
sure Mr Murdoch would not sing,
"The Great Canadian Curler" --a song
very popular' in Scotland some
years ago,—but rather this song also
op a Scotch poet:—
