"■ ; fifts. father followed railroading in trie early days, of Ontario', and was the first trackmaster ’ on the Ontario . Simepe Huron-Union Railroad, which started from Toronto about 1845. In the year 1854 the - section mas- . ters anil men of-that railroad pres ented his father with a gold watch . suitably inscribed as a token of their ..esteem. The watch, still running well, is a ,solid 18k, gold one maae in London, Eng. On one side of the outer case is an engraving of a loco motive of the old wood-burning type. On the other side are engravings, of ’ a* lion and unicorn of the Royal Arms. The owner is getting along in years, and is not well off financial ly. ‘ ‘What better disposal could T . ' make of the watch,” he asks,- “than citizens of Toronto to contribute, say 25 cents or .50 cents each, to wards" making a present of this valu- able old relie of early day railroad- ; . ing to tlie City of Toronto.” , This railroad veteran is willing to sell the .watch for the value of the gold in it, and suggests that it might be placed in a museum in memory •<'b'lr-’'his father, apd as a relic of early • railroading in Canada.

Question — How would you tight the Cabbage or Onion Maggot? Answer — I suppose what is meant Is what is the best way. to light both .ttiiesb. insects. Against...the. cab.-J. bage maggot, the best thing to use is corrosive sublimate at the strength of 1 ounce to 16 gals, of water. The poison is dissolved’ by- . .putting it first into a little water, just enough to nicely cover it when it is all crushed, then add more water and stir well.
