Mr, Carter had not been In good health for the past two years but was able to be about most of the time, and on Tuesday night was up town for his mail, called at The Standard and spent an hour with others, dlecussiug the late war news, in which he tools a keen interest, He appeared in his usual health, and little did those present think when he left, it wa'b his last "good -night." 1tlr, Carter had retired but a short time when he complained to his wife of a severe pain in his bead and arm, when it did not improve, she :advised her brother, Mr. Archie Taylor, who, with Mre. Taylor, went to the house,• medical aid was summoned but the patient gradually grew worse until he finally succumbed about 0 a.m. Iu the death of Mr. Carter ie retuov ed one who, for many years has held a pro.wiuent place in the affairs of the town, and Blyth loses a truly loyal citizen. He was born in T'uckeremith Township, County of Huron, in the year 1850, and when about sixteen years of age was apprenticed to the cabinet making trade at Constance, where he served four years, three as apprentice and one as journeyman. Ile came to Blyth1n the year 1870 and lot four years occupied himself at con- tracting and building and at times had as many as fifteen men in hie employ. He then branched out in the menu• facture of shingles, barrel heads and staves and erected a mill on the site where Dr. Allison's residence now stands. He met with considerable success in this line of business, but owing to 111 health, caused from the dust, he was compelled to dispose of the business, which he did after con- ducting it for two and a half years, his brother and a Mr, Alexander be- coming proprietore. it was following thie time that he commenced to exer- cise his inventive genius and in 1878 the Carter Automatic Boiler Cleaner was perfected and patented. For two years be travelled through the United States with his invention, covering every state in the union, but through- out all kepthts home in Blyth. On his return from his tour of the States, he went Into the livery busi- nese, the barn then standing on the lot now occupied by Mr. J. Stothers'. residence. Mr. Carter 'deposed of this business to Mr. Alonzo Shanes and in the year 1881 he built the block now owned and occupied by Ur. James Mc - Murchie. It was about this time that (,he first entered Blyth's Municipal Council, and after three years dropped out and took the Aesessorehip which he held for two years in sueeestion. About the year 1881-5 he entered the employ of 1lfeeers Lucas &Tanner and was stationed at Calgary, Alberta, for three years superintending their ex- tensive livery and sales stables at that place. In the year 1888 he again bad a seat at the Council Board and had been one of our town fathers ever since, with the exception of the years 1892-3 when he was defeated by the small margin of two votes by Mr. Wm. Sime in the contest for the Reeveship, and for four years which he spent in the State of Michigan, For two years prior to his defeat by Mr. Sims he oc- cupied. the Reeve's chair. It was under the supervision of Mr. Carter that all the cement walke were laid in Blytb; also the erection of our public school and the Blyth Driving Park, the latter of which he was Vice - President, Mr. Carter's abilities were early re- cognized and when there was a labor- ious piece of work to be done or look- ed after, he was the man selected for the job. Since the purchase by the town of the electric light plant, Air. Carter had been chairman of the Water and Light Committee and he placed that, department of the town's affairs on a paying basis—an under- taking which some maintained could not be done. Under his direction t'ne toe n inaugurs ated acohpletc system of fire protec- tion in the laying of water mains throughout the town and the installa- tion of a pump with a capacity of 'r.i0 gallons per minute. The major part of the improvements whieh,eitizens of Blyth now enjoy are due to the ability and efforts of the late Mr. Carter, The late Mr. Carter was married in the year 1875 to Meet Mary H. Taylor who survives, and to whom much sympathy is ezttended ick her bereave- ment. The funeral was held oti Thursday last to Blyth cemetery and among those who attended from Wingham were: Mrs, Putland, Mr. and Mrs , Harvey Shane, A. 11, Musgrove, M. L. A. , Dudley Holmes and. Geo.

'The question is whether grazing damages the wood lot and whether, if it does, there may not be certain ad- vantages which outweigh the damage. Two advantages are claimed to re• suit ft'oui grazing in forest areas—fa• voreble germinating coudilious in the soil cover and protection from fire. Where there, are extensive forests with beavy grass and weeds or the timber tracts are interspersed wIlh range areas there is a possibility of some fire protection from grazing through the reduction of the crop of inflammable forage. In small isolated wood lots, surrounded by cultivated Gelds, this does not apply. Where wood lots form contiuuuus strips along ridges grazing. night occasionally af- ford some fire protection, but practical- ly its value is negligible. As to the beutefleiel effect ou seed bed conditions, (here is a wide difference of opinion. Where there is a heavy leaf litter or grass sod intermittent grazing may serve to break the cover and let the seed reach mineral soil. In some cases there is the further ad- vantage that young seedlings are bene- fited by having the shade of a heavy forage cover reduced. Under favorable natural conditions good may result from adjusting the grazing to the re- 'quirements of the trees for vigorous growth. The difficulty lies In the prac- ticaI application of interrupted graz- ing. The use of the wood lot for graz- ing purposes is apt to be continuous when once begun, particularly if it is found to be profitable, and all the good clone at first is offset by later damage. The damage done by grazing falls into two main classes, browsing and trampling. In browsing the foliage, bark and stems are damaged and de- stroyed, many of the young, seedlings are uprooted' and killed outright, and others are so damaged that they die or make defective trees. Trampling packs the ground so that reproduction starts with difficulty, and it kills seed- lings and damages ntaturo trees by lay- ing aying bare the roots anis packing the ground around them. The amount of damage, of course, depends on the ht - tensity of the grazing. Light grazing will not do great damage eecept under very unfavorable conditions or when the trees are young. In conclusion, it may be laid down that it the welfare of the wood lot alone is desired, grazing has no place in it. Light grazing may be permitted if other considerations make it neves• sari, but it is bettter to keep stock out it t eeklb:t; or oraetical. Frotu the standpoint of stock raising or dairying it may }lecomo desirable to do some . ,;,;e e; ie the tilnbe} areas on the farm or to use their pi' teetlou. If protection only is wanted a small part of the wood lot can be fenced off for the purpose. In any event, if the wood lot in to have a permanent place on the farm the grazing should be as light as possible and adjusted to the nt'eds of the timber.

'i THE F'RITeNDLY SPIES ' d• . .A tale of Camp Borden The main camping ground of the Huron Indians was near, where Camp Borden is now situated. Where soldiers build their camp fires, At night there gather 'round The spirits of the Hurons From Happy Hunting Ground, No sentry hears their footsteps, They need no countersigns; As silent as the moonlight, They pees within the lines. Fierce shine their dusky faces As'through the tents they glide, Once more they smell the war paint And know a warrior's pride; The white man's modern weapons , Their ghostly fingers feel, 'rho guns so swift and deadly, ,rhe long, sharp blades of steel. They nod to one another, Nor know such savage joy. Since, leagaed with the Algonquins, Tltey fought the Iroquois; Among the sleeping soldiers They pass the silent night, And nudge, and smile, and whisper, "White brother make big fight," Johnny stood beside bit mother as ehe made her selection from the husk* ster'e wagon, and the farther told the toy to take ahandful of eberrlets, but the child shook hie head. "What's the matte)? Don't you like theme" asked the huckster. "'Yes," replied 3ohnny. "'Then go ahead an' take some." Johnny hesitated, Whereupon wpon t bo farmer put a generous handful in the boy's cap, After the farmer had driven on, the mother said( :�'VVhq didn't you take the cherries when he told you to?"'
