SERVICE SPELLS SUCCESS
We have learned our spelling in the creamery busi-
ness, and find that to succeed we must give our
patrons service. Mr. Beninger, who is a graduate of
Guelph Dairy School, will have charge of our Crcam-
ery, and will test the cream on delivery in your
Ipresence. Then we pay city prices in cash. This
we believe is the only way to conduct a creamery
business. Remember it makes no difference to us
hew much or how little you have. We supply cans.
If you want: to know the value of a dairy cow, test
her milk. Use this testing department as much as w"
you like. We established it for your benefit, and
if you want us to take an oecassional can, we will be
glad to show you how our testing works. • ti `
Our Poultry Hatchery is very busy. The chickens

noi;ice of which the people of Wing-

In the midst of life we are in death.
"The words of the prophet were

years. In 1898 he moved with his
family to Dauphin and has resided

MARKED INCREASE
A. H., McDONALD, Ethel Ontario,
says;
"Last; Spring I purchased a quantity
of Iiohestead Bone Black Fertilizer
from J. K. Baker, and from the results
shown by its use on plots of corn and
potatoes, I can confidently recommend
its use on a much larger scale. This
shows the value of intensive farming.
If every acre available on an average
farm were properly cultivated and
Homestead fertilizer used judiciously
I am sure the financial returns would
show a marked increase."

THE 16Ist HURONS
One bright morning in November,
From off the transport ship,
The 101st disembarked
From their Trans -Atlantic trip.
Seasick, tired and dirty,
From their voyage o'er the main,
They thought t'was next to Heaven,
To be safe on land again.
Te be in merry England,
They hailed the thought with pride;
To walk upon the sacred sod
'For which their fathers died.
The land of sunny meadows,
Of palaces of gold;
The land of logely maidens
And of heroes brave and bold.
They recalled the many stories,
Wheu as children they had read
Of the hedges white with blossom,
And the sunshine overhead,
How tile grass was green and thrushes
Sang throughout the whole long day
Till they were glad they left old Can-
ada, •
Now many miles away.
But, alas, their dream was shattered
For this land across the main
Had a nasty winter season
Filled with weeks of chilly rain.
And instead of sunny meadows.
There was mud up to the knees,
While their strong young bodies
shivered,
From the chilly ocean breeze.
They caw no blossom hedges,
Beside the tinkling rill;
And they heard no birds singing!
For thelark'e sweet voice was still.
The land of ►bilk and honey,
Of palaces of gold,
Had changed to one of misery,
Of mud and rain and cold,
How they thought of mother's pud-
ding,
Dry bread was now their lot,
They slept upon a hardwood floor,
And not upon a cot.
They drealned of fried. potatoes,
That they used to have each day,
In the now "D.e tr Land Of Canada"
So many miles away.
Their thoughts turned back to Huron.
Sa many miles away,
Where they have a decent winter.
With the cotter and the sleigh.
They thought of •little sweethearts,
With their cheery hopeful emilee,
Till they wouldn't trade old Huron,
1t'or the entire British Isles.
But eines they've crossed the ocean,
Old Huron's 1 0 1
Will not return to Canada Without
A good scrap with the Hun.
Then they can bane their country,
Of mud and rain and ahowere,
And we will keep our Canada,
That Canada of outs,.

KING COAL
Old King Goal ieilly soul,
And be laughed with a fiendish glee
When old Jack Frost crawls out of his
hole,
For or he corners the market—See?
Hie minions clave like the imps& of
.Hell,
In the depths of the grimyearth.

For the ore which the poor old king
will sell
At double its actual worth.
And his billion free•bortr slaves bow
low,
While the north wind shrieks and
°►leap
'Tie their hearth* blood makes his fat
cheeks glow
And brightens hie twinkling eyes.
The rich and the poor, the halt and the
blind,
.All dance while his fiddlers play,
And the dance is the grimmest of its
kind,
1i'ar each must a fiddler pay!
