COCKING. MAIN. -Toronto, Hamilton
and other places 0 importance have
stely come to the front as cock-figeting
C and now Goderich `joins the
band. On Sunday morning last about
eight o'clock, a cockily main was held
n the yard of St. Patrick's Ward School,
and a few of our young local sports en-
joyed themselves for some time in
watching the belligerent action 0 a
couple of roosters. The party then &d-
owned to meet at a designated lace on
Sunday next, when the "sport' will be
II indulged in. We believe our Chief
Constable is a sporting man;and would
like to be present at the next exhibition.
We call attention to the advertisement
I the Detroit, Mackinac and Marquette
R. R. Co., relating to lands in Northern
Michigan. The company are offering
lands at low prices to attract settle-
ments. In this connection we cannot
do better than quote the following from
the Toronto W eekly Globe of February
18th: "Our advise to Canadians is to
stay at home, but if they will go to the
United States they had better go to
Northern Michigan, where they will find
flourishing Canadian settlements, good
markets, good soil, abundance of wood,
well paid work and a climate to which
they are accustomed They will not
run the risk 0 freezing in winter for
want 0 fuel, nor 0 having their crops
destroyed in summer by drouth or in-
sects, as is likely to be the case in Kan-
sas and Dakota. And then, it does not
coat much -to go to Michigan, and if they
do not like it they can return home.

A LABOR-SAVING CHURN. -On Wed-
nesday evening last a novelty in the
shape 0 a labor-saving churn was exhi-
bited in the sitting room of Martin's
hotel, by John Brown & Son, the agents
for Perth and Huron, in presenoe of a
number of our prominent business men,
among whom were Geo. Old, Charles
Nairn, D. C. Strachan, Wm. Mitchell,
Chas. Andrews, M. Swanum, Robe
Same Sloane, McBrien, Samane, Henry Wells,
Lucius Carey, John Martin, Elijah Mar-
tin, John Knox and others. The churn
is the celebrated Baldwin Figure Eight,
and is incomparably in advance of any-
thing in the shape of a churn we have
ever seen, and worked to perfection
during the test. A gslion and half
of cream was procured from Mrs. Blake
on the Huron Road, and pbtce.l in the
churn, and operations began. At the
end of 4 minutes the cover 0 the churn
was removed, and it was found that
seven pounds of excellent butter was
the yield. The time -keepers were
Messrs. Elijah Martin and D_ C. Strach-
an The greatest satisfaction was ex-
• mrise.1 lee all who witnease l the opera -
'i. ns. ;'.:: Figure Eight appears to be
testinexd to supplant all other churns at
present in the held. Mr. Geo. H. Old
1 has been appointed local agent in Oode-
rich, and we would advise all our friends
interested in the dairy business to drop
in and see him, and observe the working
of the churn.

OBITUARY. -We regret this week to
chronicle the death of Wm. Donaldson,
son of Mrs. Jane Donaldson, of this
town, which oocurrxd at Bay City,
Mich., On the 7th inst. The deceased,
who was in his nineteenth year, left
Goderich, last August, for Bay City,
where he had been employed, up to the

which culminated in brain fever, and he
succumbed on the following Saturday.

On Tuesday morning last a reporter of
THS SIGNAL paid a visit to the Seeg::til-
ler Chilled Plow Works, situated on manufacture
St., Goderich, and viewed the pro-
gress of the anufacture of the celebrat-
ed implement there made a specialty
of.
THE PRINCIPAL FEATURES
of the Seegmiller Chilled Plow are (1)
the beam, which is a true truss, consist-
ing 0 three small rods of iron, bridged
over the standard, and ia constructed
without either bolts, nuts, threads or
rivets, which thereby lessens the cost of
the plow, and yet ensures greater
strength and durability; (2) the adjust-
ment, which is made through the me-
dium of a universal joint on top 0 the
standard, and which admits of the plow be-
ing adjusted vertically or laterally, thus
giving either depth or width of fur-
row without the use of the cumbersome,
old-time clet-is; (3) the eye -bolt at the
promised this year, the lands will be reap

ustifiability of the execution of Mary miller, in Canada, the United !States and

the guidance of all who wish to purchase
the best plow manufactured our Canada,
if not in the world.
THE aIOULDLNIG SHOT
of the works is located on the north side
of East street, and is a commodious brick 1
structure. When viaited it presented
a scene of the ntmest activity and in- 4
dustry. The shop is under the personal
supervision of Mr. Hewry Huntington,
who is a practical moulder of years ex-
perience in the manufacture of chilled �
plows in the United States, and he is 1
ably assisted by an efficient staff of cots- 1
petent workmen, each member of which
appeared to have the interest of the fac-
tory at heart almost as mach as the pro-
prietor of the wqrks. The neatnoas and '
order which obtained in the moulding
shop was most complete, and the facility
with which the work, both heavy and
light, was done, wais truly marvellous.
as we stood watching the master work-
man of this department as he traced in-
delibly the word "Seegniillere on a

that Mr. Seegmiller had succeeded in se-
curing the services of a competent

THE GRINDING 8HOP
was the next place of interest, and here
the rumble and clatter of machinery in

what was expected. Mr. Frank Anetin
is the chief of this de.rtrtmett, and as
we watched the sparks fly during the
operation of _putting on a polish on a

liancy of any mirror, we were amazed,
for we had no idea of the extent to which

in addition to the departments for the

Seegmiller chilled plow, the energetic
proprietor has ale) in thorough running

other in Ontario, the machinery for
which was purchased at the time of the
fitting -up of Ogilvie & Hutchison's mam-
moth mill. Mr. Wilson Salkeld, is the
foreman, and under his supervision every
class of work capable of being done in a
well-equipped machine shop is turned out
in amanner and of quality surpassed by no
other institution of the kind in the
Dominion. Repairing of machinery of
all kinds at short notice is s speciality in
