When groomed from head to tail I stood back and looked at our lovely i cow and in later years when I first heard of dual personalities I under­ stood perfectly what was meant, I thought of this Ayrshire which looked so much like a j front and so much like a lion A wise judge gave no prize bushy-tailed monstrosity. Compared, contrasted by what oth­ ers think* Alas! how sadly our possession shrink. I fared better, however, with wash­ ed ducks. The hectic morning of the show I was without a chaperone for a Pekin duck; but at the last moment as animal, cow in behind, to this I was able to borrow Bradleys’ drake and as they were as unclean as lep­ ers, I wash them both, bills, feet and feathers, in a tub. Dripping wet ,1 put them in a pen—a show' pen — made out of shoe boxes from Mills oi- Kings, and the afternoon sun rea­ ching their pen before the judge they plumed themselves out in spotless white and took second prize. These and kindred experiences of a like character, make up the sum total of my old-time recollections. Time would fail me to recount the half of them and these twelve instalments to the Editor of the Advance-Times have been written fcr personal amusement and with the thought in mind that some of the former boys and girls who are yet in the landing of the liv­ ing, on seeing these incidents relat­ ed, will immediately recall similar oc­ casions in their own care-frce child-j hood and so get a happy respite from the corroding anxieties of life’s later years. In the short time that remains while we naturally seek to “husband out life’s taper at the close and keep the flame from wasting by repose” may we also acquire a deeper fond­ ness for the sacred volume and read at least a chapter a.day of its incom­ parable contents like genial Tom King used to do.

May God bless the old boys and the old girls—if girls ever get old— and by the investment of the influence of our united lives may there yet be a much better Wingham than has been. I3. S. Fisher. Marm Marketing Plan Appoved Approval of the recently enacted birds Provincial legislation for the market- ; year. t Discovering that almost anything of apparent extraordinary value could be exhibited for the modest entry fee of One dollar, I decided in the warmth of my youthful enthusiasm to enter the family cow. Now it is a well- known fact that a sleek coat makes any animal look better and at the rate girls go to have their hair done shows how important this adornment is in emphasizing a good appearance. I decided to frizz the cow’s tail, and, believe it or net, I am of the opinion that so far as Wingham is concerned I was the originator of the perma­ nent wave. I gave her an afternoon appointment and allowing for other minor duties 1 was able to "take her” at four o’clock. Her stall, to the best of my know­ ledge and belief, was the first beauty parlor in town. The process of frizz­ ing was prececded by the last foot of the tail being immersed in a pail of water, which was placed on a stool directly behind the patient quadru­ ped.
