THE COUNTY COUNCILS ACT.
Reports from many counties appear
to indicate that the new Act, reducing
the number of County Councillors, is
going to work well. Fewer members
appear to do the work equally well with
the old members; and now each member
of a council has at the end of a . session
a fairly intelligent idea of all the details
of CountyCouucii work, The sessions
have not been longer than usual, while
a good saving occurs is the reduced
indemnity.
In our own County of Huron, we
&nderstand that guided by the experi-
ence of some of the older heads a fair
working scheme was fully inaugurated
at the late session. Under this plan
every member of the Council can sit
en committee work at one and the
,game time, thus economising time.
Then the report of each committee has
to be read, debated, explained and
amended if necessary, in detail in cam.
mittee of the whole, thus ensuring a
general knowledge of all details by
each member. This insures intelligent
action. All new members seem pleased
at the working of the Act as applied
in Huron.
THE .1NDIA V FAil fIiY i.
Millions of people aro on the verge of
starvation in ladle. Not from any
particular fault of their own, but from
real famine, induced by want of rain.
They are abjectly helpless. The situa
tion is rendered worse by the awful
plague that has broken out. It:appears
be a good method of investing some to
of the surplus wealth of rich Canada, to
send some of it to keep those poor
wretches alive until relief comes in the
shape of a new crop. Now is the time
to hear from the missionary societies,
if they want to do some real good to
humanity. Many millions are annually
spent in a futile attempt to convert
such people, but if they refuse to be
converted they will Hardly refuse to be
fed. They are human and take to food
more readily than to changing their
belief. We have plenty of poor with
ourselves, hut yet they are not dying
by hundreds for lack of food as they
are in India, The emergency just now
is out in the orient.
The federal bye -elections of last week
prove true the old adage that "Nothing
succeeds like success," also that bye.
elections are generally inclined to go
with a newly elected party, Particu-
lars elsewhere.
Seaforth: We are sorry to tarn tha t
little Scott Hays, youngest son of Mr..
T. E. Hays, had his leg severely injur-
ed the other evening while endeavoring
to get a rade on a passing sleigh.
3linton: Mrs. Turner, of town, met
with a painful accident a few days
since, While walking in the yard she
slipped down and falling on some hard
substance, nearly severed one of her
ears from her head.
Lucan: W. J. Allan, Palmerston,
employed in the flax mills of Ward Bros,
while removing some tow from a shaft,
had his right arm d"egged round the
shaft, in consequence of which the se-
eond finger was split and torn. He
will be laid up for a few weeks.
Seafortb: Mr. G. E. Henderson, of
the Grip House, met with a nasty acci-
dent on Saturday last. He was stand
ing up on a chair, winding the clock
in the bar when the chair upset, in fall-
ing Mr: Henderson knocked down some
glasses and bottles, ane of the bottles
striking him on the top of the head, in-
flicting a nasty cut.
Twas Hard Work Fifteen
Years Ago.
To -day Diamond Dyes
Make Horne Dyeing Easy.
Fifteen years ago the work of home
dyeing was just in its infancy. The
old•fashioned, crude preparations were
then iu vogue, neccessitating much
time aud great expense, while the re
sults, even with the greatest amount
of care, !lever brought sa'istaction.
The introduction of Diamond Dyes
revolutionized home dyeinwork corn •
plerely. Diamotld Dyes saved time
and money to thousands of busy wo-
men, and at once became popular in
every family.
tach succeeding year found the Dia-
mond Dyes improved in color, brillian-
cy .and durability of shade. To day.
they stand far ahead of all other dyes
in every leading point, and are as per-
fect art science can make . them,
There are many imitations of Dia-
mond Dyes 10 the land, and many wo-
men are deceived daily when purchas-
ing. In order to insure absolute sue
cess in oeme dyeing see that every
packet of dye you buy is marked "Dia-
mond Dye."
Toronto, Feb. 9.—William Hurford, a
baker, and his wife, who lived at 268
Broadview avenue, werefound dead in
bed yesterday morning, having been
asphyxiated, Hurford, who conducted a.
bakery business at that address, was last
seen alive on Saturday night.
Early yesterday morning his bakes, D.
'Fraser, went to the house as usual; and
attended to his work. Nothing unusual
was noticed. But when the driver came
in at mien o'clock, and neither Mr. Her-
ford nor his wife had come down stairs,
Mr. Fraser became suspicious., He went
upstairs, and when no answer was made
to his ,mocks on the bedroom door it
was opened and the bodies found,
Both were lying dead. in the bed, and
across the foot was lying the body of a
pet dog, dead also. The gas was turned
on about three-quarters at the bracket,
and a suffocating smell of gas filled the
room, all the doers and windows of which
were tightly closed.
Dr. Sneath was called, but there was
no occasion for his services, as Hurford
and his wife had been dead for many
hours. Coroner Powell was at onoe noti-
fied, and a warrant for an inquest issued,
but after viewing the remains the coroner
withdrew the warrant.
MANITOBA MATTERS. •
Cattle Exporters Going into the Dead Meat
Tracie ---Grain b'peculators Charged With
Gtuning.
Winnipeg, Feb. 9.—The firm of Gordon
and Ironsides, cattle exporters, intend
going into the dead meat trade. Mr. Gor-
don says: "Wo find our competition so
strong with South American exporters
that we have to change our mode of ship-
ping wild cattle. We have,in consequence,
decided to build large slaughtering -houses
and cold storage warehouses, so that we
may be better able to handle from 800 to
1,000 cattle a week. We will either build
our own cars or have the railway corpor-
ations supplyus with suitable cars for
this trade." Calgary, Medicine Hat, or
Winnipeg, will be the plane seleeted.
W. Beach and J. D. O'Brien, grain
speculators, are charged with contraven-
tion of the Gaming Act. The charge is
that defendants kept a place of business
ter allowing contracts to be made for deal-
ing in grain. A large number of witnesses
are to be examined.. One man is said to
have lost $10,000 in this bucket shop.
On Saturday the quantity of wheat in
store at Fort William aggregated 2,700,-
621 bushels, as against 3,621,714 bushels
for the corresponding date in. 1896. Dur-
ing the past week the receipts were 88,-
389 bushels, and shipments 21,890 bushels.
A BRUTAL LAW.
A Child's Life Endangered by the Action
of the De Barry Gang.
Buffalo, Feb. 8.—At the Grand Trunk
station to -day Mrs. Georgina Smythe, of
Wainfleet, near Welland, Ontario, was
stopped by an immigration inspector as
she was about to proceed up town to ful-
fil an engagement.
She had been engaged by'a prominent
fancily to act as wet nurse so a bouncing
boy in the aristocratic part of the city.
The father of the infant met Mrs.
Smythe at the station, and proposed
escorting her to the family residence,
when he was threatened with the dire
penalties of the law for engaging an
"alien." It was pointed out that the
baby's life depended upon its foster -
mother, but this was urged by the in-
spector as no excuse for breaking the law.
At the station a collection was sug-
gested to defray the buxom Canadian's
expenses back home, but the assistance
was rejected., as Mrs. Smythe is well-to-
do, and merely came over on an urgent
summons to oblige the Buffalo family,
and save a prospective vote for Uncle
SFAm-
The Provincial Budget.
Toronto, Feb. 9.—The Budget Speech,
it is said,will be delivered on Wednesday,
17th inst., when the Provincial Treasurer
will intimate a slight falling off in the
revenue. It will be explained that this is
due to a decrease in the reciepts from
law stamps, from legal fees and from suc-
cession duties. The different institutions
in charge of the Provincial Secretary will
be reported as to a great degree self-sustain-
ing If the Bureau of mines continues to
provide revenue throughout 1897 as fast
as it has for the five weeks of that year
already elapsed, the income will amount
to about ten bines that of last year.
The expenses are said not to vary much
from those of the past year or so.
His Honor the Administrator of the
Government has made the following ap-
pointment:—
John Franklin Hare, of Windsor, bar
rioter, to be a Local Master of the Su-
preme Court of Ontario for the County
of Essex.
William Laing, of Essex, clerk, pro
tempore, of the Eighth Division Court of
the County of Essex.
William A. McIntosh to be Inspector of
Licenses for South Essex in the stead of
Alanson Elliott.
Three Cars Wrecked.
Stratford, Ont., Feb. 8.—The way
freightstanding at St. Paul's station this
morning was run into by the through
freight from Stratford to London, and
the van and three rear cars wrecked and
burned.
It is claimed that the signals were set
against the through freight. The driver
of that train says brakes were applied,
but without effect.
Superintendent Jones, of London, is
on the spot investigating. Passengers and
baggage by the early trains were trans-
ferred around the wreck. No one was

Communication.
TO TUE EDITOR OF E317TnR ADVOCATE.
Sir, I believe it is my privilege to
have published and your -duty to publish
any matter of public import. That
being the case I would ask you to air
my views on the subject herein dis-
closed as a set -oil to the views and
other things aired and set off an me.
Since the foundation of this City—at
least I am so informed, but not being
an aborigine, simply a native, I can't
vouch for its authenticity—oven up to
the present date A. U, C. 57, it has been
the ambition of all our real leaders in
civic affairs to accomplish some thing
which will survive them; something to
save them from total oblivion in the
years to come. A great many have.
been emiuently successful in this re •
spect, some few weak ores—failed, but
especially of late years have these
coups-de•tete been more pronounced..
Take for instance matters even with-
in my'own recollection, the purchase
of No. " 2 " fire engine, probably dur-
ing the regime of Sir Launcelot. I
have not searched the civic archives,
but it is there—was not that alone
worth years of devotion to the public
interest ? Take again the building of
the Town Hall and shortly after—that
rather high handed proceeding, the
purchase of the town clock and its
erection, the acme of horological art,
built in the
to suit the architec-
ture of the tower. Look at it fellow
eitizens—not to see what time it is,
that's futile, but to admire its contour,
and imagine if you cau how it ever
worked, Barnes cant; but it went once,
someone saw it going, years ago. That
is also entered on the Scroll.
Look again at the water system!
Who but the Doctor could devise and
execute such a gigantic success. This
speaks for itself, especially the wind
mill, cause in wants oiling. Who
changed the Market? I don't know;
everyone is too modest to claim the
honour of that. Consider the conse•
quent boom to the centre -town; they
weighed no less than 8 loads of hay
and 2 car loads of hogs there last year,
let alone the business odors so prevalent
in that yiciuity engendered by the
cattle byres, (not buyers,)
Some people (enemies of his of course)
claim that T. B. C. did nothing while
in power ten years. I deny It. point
blank Who got the dog tags I'd like
to know! What do you want a fellow
to do any how? Besides I'}'e heard
Tom declare time and again both on the
public platform and at quasi public
gatherings " that wheu he first entered
public life 10 years ago his father gage
him a new suit of clothes "and he hasn't
soiled them . yet" Who can say as
much ? All very well to talk but show,
me the man who can claim such
economy as that ! No wonder he is
disgusted with you when you can't
appreciate merit and economy better.
Suppose he did sell some collars that's
his funeral.
Then look at that unrequited war
horse W. G. B. T heard him myself: ad-
dress an enraptured audience on the
utility of Gravel (f), Gravel (f1) Gravel
(ppp) as a sole improver and you jeer-
ed at him and left him too. Then who
passed the cow bylaw? There was a
time when cows could be seen on our
streets and in the parks at any hour of
of the day or night, now they are only
allowed out till 10 o'clock in July and
August, quite right too, -better in in
the warm weather—if they wont give
milk we'll have to eat cream that's all.
What is this present witenagemot
going to do to keep their names green ?
'Che snow plow has been out once so far
and the road commissioner and chart
ties have been paid. Now is the time
to think of something during the lei-
sure moments. •:What is the Cabinet
hatching? I have.a suggestion to
make. I don't wish to force it if not
approved, it is simply a suggestion.
It is not made out of especial regard
for the present chief or out of enmity
to the former ones, simply out of
pure sympathy for the public, I would
suggest that Quinn go Tom one better.
See what that tag did for him. It kept

It put him back to an untrammelled

P:ETB.
Farmers' Institute Meeting at, Henson.
A very successful meeting of the
South Huron Farmers' Institute was
held in Coxworth's Hall, ou Tuesday
afternoon, Feb. 2nd. Both the weather
and the roads being good, there was a
large turn out of farmers and others
interested in the work of the Institute.
The chair was occupied by Mr. II. Smith
President of the Association. The first
address was by Mr. R. Thompson, of St,
Catharines on the gathering and mar
keting of fruit. Only one man io a
dozen he said knew how to gather fruit
properly. Some do not handle the fruit
careful enough and consequently it is
mord or less bruised and therefore un
fit for shipment, Others gather the
fruit al! at the same time indiscrimin-
ately as it were, whereas he contended
that the largest and most mature speci-
mens should be picked first leaving the
green and unripe some time ou the
trees uutil better matured. As to pack.
ing for market he said that the pack-
ages used should be selected with re-
ference to the 3emauds of the consum-
er and also to reduce the freight as
much' as possible. He strongly em
phasised the importance of honest pack-
ing. Nothiug but the best should be
packed if we wish to build up a mar
ket for our apples. He said that some
of our shippers had learned a trick
from the Yankees of putting a large
funnel in the centre of the barrel and
after packing good apples around it,
filling the funnel with culls and then
withdraw it, and facing the barrel with
good apples. He did not advise the
farmers to ship their own apples,- but
they should sell to a regular shipper who
ships in large quantities and knows
best how to pack and ship to suit . the
market. A buyer abroad he said when
opening a .barbel of apples, if he finds
small and large fruit, or the barrel im
properly faced he concluded that they
are "farmer packed" and will nottouch
them. Ile encouraged the farmer to
grow moresmall fruit not only as an
addition to their revenues, but also from
their health giving' properties, Small
fruits he said were easily grown if
planted in rows in the open field and
cultivated with a horse 'hoe. He said
that very many were averse to growing
fruit, for fear of swallowing seeds and
contracting' appendicitis which is an
inflammation of the vermiform aAPend
ix of the c<acum. Although the disease
he said 19 nett uncommon, yet very
many of the cases were the re silt of
substances formed within the body it
self and only a very few cases could' be
attributed to foreign bodies, such as
grape and other seeds.
In the absence of Mr. D. D. Wilson, of.
Seaforth,r his son John, read •a paper on
"eggs for export." C rent Britain he said,
was now our 'principal market, The
eggs wanted in England, were brown.
colored eggs, weighing 1?r lbs, per doz..
The best breeds for the farmer to keep
were the breeds that lay brown eggs
and of a good size, such as Plymouth
Rock, Langshans, Andlusians, etc.
Brown eggs as a rule are better flavor-
ed than white. 'The small white eggs
are not wanted in England Is they are
of poorer quality than the lairge and ' s-

pecially the large brown. Infertile eggs
aro better flavored and keep longer
than fertile and hence hens should .not
be mated with the cock except in the
breeding season. Farmers, he said,
should be more careful to provide straw
to keep the nest boxes clean so that the
eggs would not soil with dirt, as is so
common. Attention to this simple mat-
ter would be money in the pockets of
the farmers as these soiled eggs have to
be sorted out and sold at a sacrifice and
the producer is the looser. Eggs, he
caicl should be stored iu a dry room and
never in a cellar. As to shrinkage in
weight of perserved eggs, those weigh
ing 10 t0 the ib. lost nearly double that
of those weighing 8 to the ib.
Mr. Shearer gave a very practical ad-
dress on " raising hogs economically."
He emphasized the importance of select-
ing good sows and of the large breeds,
A good sow, he said, should produce two
litters of 10 or more each season for
seveial years.
In the absence of Mr. N. Lewis, Mr.
R. Thompson gage a very good address
on the cultivation of corn. The princi-
pal points brought out were that the
corn should be planted wide so that
thorough cultivation could be given
even up to the time when the ears were
forming. Many farmers made a great
mistake in sowing broadcast, or having
the rows too close. When thus sown
the stalks have very little sugar and
are almost worthless as fodder or for
silage. When the best varieties are
sown and thorough cultivation is prac-
tised until after the tassels are formed,
the stalks are very much larger and
longer and contain more sugar, and
there is besides a good crop of ears and
which is the most valuable part of the
crop. The best time to cut corn is when
itis in the glazed state. ,It is best cut
with a corn kuife and bound with the
stalks, one man he said being able ets
ily to cat an acre in a day (and which
we do not 'believe, as half an acre would
be considered good work) He conclud•
ed with a description of his silos, how
built, filled, covered and emptied, and
which we cannot reproduce here.
