Town Oovnc x, —Met Monday
night AU members, present. Fin
ance report was read and adopted,
recommending payment of salaries,
wood for town, charity etc., in all
$313,63. Treasurer’s report for
December and Jany read showing
receipts $10.94241, payment $9.-
199 80, balance ou^hand $1,742.32.
.A.U town officers reappointed at old
salaries. Joseph Cliidley, Geo, E.
Pay, and* Dr. Williams were ap,>
pointed a Board of Health, the
Mayor’ fttid Clerk being ex officio
meiulier of , same. McMurchie
. launched the apple of discord OU the
sweet scented Marv fit. drain.
Cooper of the street com, named a
proposal-to cover the affair up at au
expense of $200. Copp stoutly
urged that such * a disgraceful affair
should he covered up. The stench
from it'in summer cried to heaven.
Forrester mooted a scheme for mak
ing a sewer of the Mary St. and
other drains und levying a r»te up
on the property benetitted. Assum
ing a cost of $2,000, debentures
could be issued payahle in twenty
years and repaid" at an annual cost
of probably $120,00 which ,. would
be much better and cheaper than
t'hd‘ piece-meal proposed improve*,
inent of the fit, Mary sV drain only.
Manning was rather inclined to
agree with Forrester and suggested
that a special committee be appoint
ed. to. report Us to route of sewer*5,
.property likeljt,|q be bvnefltted and
probable cost of the work. ' Coats
cl id'not think the scheme suggested
would work equitably, that so far’as
he understood it those likely to be
most benefit ted would- contribute
the least - A general and intelligent
interchange oLyiqws„,took -place, all
agreeing that the unpleasant disease
breeding effluvia . qf the Mary st,
drain should' be got rid of in some
way; A committee was appointed
to inquire into and report on the
main sewer question as mooted by
Forrester.
•w*ary Societies. Thousand# and tens
of thousands have been brought to

The lest year of the Society wayu

in# $1,140,000 worth, $112,000
more than ever before. In 1804
there was only aivincome of $3,000.
After tliis suocess we look for still
greater. He spoke of Rev. Tbos.
Charles, of Wales, who began the
work there which gave birth to the
Society. He waa once very sick,
and his friend^ prayed that his life
might be spared fifteen years, and
it was just fifteen years after when'
he died, Ilis companion in the
work was Rev, Jas, Hughes. They,
are both gone tn the better land.

though prices have ruled lower than for
many years yet the yield was larger
than for many years, ihtis making it an

■Most of ua r ..T____
grain in the^firtuH will rule 6ven lower
than at preseat owing to the onening up
' of the great Northwest and other grain
fiejds.oypr the diff rent quarters of the
globe.-danadiitn farmers will unques
tionably have to' change their system
i of farming and instead of se’ling most.
of their course grains feed beta on the
faj:,mi The farmers who. have been most
successful for a number of years tire
those who have followed either feed ng
for ibejEnglish murkei, dairying,or breed
ing thoroughbred cattle, Let us take
the general farmer first' who has been
raising barley, oats and peas, and sel
ling them and-raising a few steers, a..d
selling them as storkera, and ascertain
. the loss suffered by such n system. Tile
number ot.store, cattle iu Ontario in'
1.882 was 272 000. over 2 years old and
not more than one in teu of these had a
single cross, from'a- thorough br,ed male
of, any kind ~ Now; « ha' ’ db' practical
feeders say'about common* scrub steers'
in comparison, with a well bred.grade?
Mr. Rowling of Lambton says “the dif
ference between a .fairly well raised
common steer is from | to 5 ctB^per lb,
and that it Would be cheaper to give’
$4 i, 00 for the grade J han $30 00 for the
scrub. Mr Hobson pays “my' experl-
ence bas al wavs"led/me to believe that a
well bred animal is quite ns easily and
as cheaply fed as a; common anim il ;
that is t’o say, hsving'the two auitnals
you would., get 1500 lbs, of good beef
. from, the. thorough bred at the same cost
■ as you would get ’’1200 lbs of poor beef
’ from the scrub,- ■ ', .
.Mr. Olay says as the result of careful
ly made experiment showing the increas-
ed .weight per head per day ; A thoiK
Qllgll'bred will add to its weight at the .
rate of 1,72 lbs uer day, a high gui'de
1 74, and a common steer under the
same management will gain 1.30 per
day thus placing the value of the scrub
35% less than the others.-, .
Last year. tn JJntprIo we had 32 47-
Btore oattie over ;2i years pld-r- 8Oppose

cattle at least $10100 a head less value
than if all were g'-ndes, a 1o8S-to'the
farmers" of $2 812,870.-. .By ‘ the time
these.are fed for market there- would he
the further loss of $10.00 per head lost in
feeding the inferior sort .according to the
statements of practical ' farmers. Su'p-
posing only one .half of this number are
■fed this would amount *o the• loss 1 of
$2 812 870, Which would make,»• total
io’8 of $5,625,740' in the item- of cattle
alone. ” ; ■ '■ _ . •
'■•jlwre-is still another groat lbsS that
we sustain by selling store- cattie'hnd
the feed to fit th -m for the market and
that is tire item of manure. Very few
have any idea of the rCal value of'm in-
ure from the different kinds of food.
John B. Lawes of Rothamstead Expert
mental farm,. lt<ngiarid.'- gives as the re--
suit of close study the following values
per ton of manure from-the ft Mowing :
Kinds of <eed :—Linseed Cake, $1-9.72;
’’••as 3’8 ; Indian meal $6 65;
.Wheat, $7 08 j-Barley $0 32; Oats, $7.70

According to this table the mantirtf)
from - a s'eer, or other, animal fed for 6 I
months on 14 lbs of buy, 11 lbs of grain,
nqital parts, oats, barley peas and bran'
and 1 bush, of roots" per day,-would be
