The effect of food on the flavor of
eggs is found by an English medical
man to be surprising. When the hens
act as scavengers, their eggs are made
unfit to eat, but a diet of sunflower
seeds produces remarkably fine and
sweet eggs.
It has been discovered that the most

very pleasant evening was spent by
the brethern present and the distin-

praise for the efficient manner in
which they performed their duties.
With the thermometer registering
anywhere from zero to eighteen below
we have been having some of the good
old fashioned winter weather during
the past week. Monday night was
probably the coldest, some of the lo-
cal thermometers, registeringbelow
eighteen. After all it is probably best
as no ice has yet been harvested in
this locality.
The Advoacte was favored with a
pleasant call on Friday from Mr. W.
H. Kerr, editor of the Brussels Post.
Mr. Kerr, being the District Deputy

the work under his charge will be
looked after in a manner that will re-
flect credit on both W. H. and the fra-
ternity.

Moon's Eclipse.
A total eclipse of the (noon, schedul-
ed for the morning of Feb. 9, is expect-
ed to be remarkable in many respects.
The moon enters the shadow of the
earth at 7 minutes after 12 midnight,
and will be totally eclipsed at 1.08
o'clock. For one hour and thir .-eight
minutes our satellite will be ailing
through a sea of semi -darkness., Two
hours is about the longest time the
moon can be totally eclipsed by the
shadow of the earth.
Livingstone—Hawkshaw.
The home of -Mr. and Mrs. John
Hawkshaw was the scene of a quiet
but very pretty wedding early Tues-
day morning last when their daughter,
Miss Vzr'a, Was united in marriage to
Mr. Chas. Livingstone, of Milverton.
The ceremony was performed by the
Rev. R. J. M. Perkins, at 7.30 o'clock
in the presence of only a few of the
immediate relatives. Both bride and
groom were unattended. The cere-
mony over the happy couple took the
morning train for Milverton and other
places to spend a short honeymoon,
after which they will return here and
spend a'few days prior to leaving for
Calgary, Alta., where they purpose
making their future home. The bride
is popular in social circles and will have
the best wishes of a host of friends for
her future happiness and prosperity.
The Advocate joins in congratulations.

Given a Veteran's jewel.
Mr. E, Spackwan, who leaves this
week for Toronto where he will reside
in the future, was on Tuesday evening
at the regular meeting of Exeter Lodge
made the recipient of au ad-
dress and veteran's jewel, as a token
of the esteem in which he is held by
his brother Oddfellows. We have al-
ready in these columns briefly stated
the regret the town feels at losing Mr.
Spackman, As an Oddfellow of inter-
national
nternational reputation, and wide know,
ledge of the workings of the order his
removal is deeply regretted by his
brethren. The following is the address,
which voices the feelings of each them-
ber of the lodge:-
Dear Brother Spackman,—
As the time draws near when you
are about to leave us we feel prompted
by our own feelings to express to you
our deep regret at losing you as an ac-
tive member of our Lodge and Encamp -
meet, and at the same tune to =express
our sincere appreciation of the earnest
efforts that you were ever ready to put
forth to further the best interests of
our order. That our Lodge has pros-
pered so well financially we regard as
largely due to your zeal and good judg-
ment. We cannot let you go without
again expressing our pride in you for
having brought to our Lodge the high
honor of having one of its members at-
tain to one of the highest positions in
the Order in the gift of this Province.
We would like to express our feelings
toward you in words but words fail us.
We will simply say that we speak the
feelings of every nieniber of our Lodge
when we tell you that in losing you as
an active member we also lose our
pleasant intercourse with a true friend.
We wish you and your family a large
and bountiful measure of happiness
and prosperity wherever you may go
and in going we ask you to take this
small token as a reminder of your
Lodge and its 'members and the many
pleasant hours that we have spent to-
gether there. And as you wear it
when you visit other Lodges let your
thoughts wander back to the dear old
mother Lodge that is dear to so many
of us. Again wishing you every suc-
cess in whatever field of labor you may
engage and trusting that in the even-
ing of your days your heart will turn
to the old home and we will renew our
youth together in going over the scenes
of our younger days.
Signed on behalf of Exeter Lodge
No. 67, I.O.O.F., by W. J. Heaman.
W. W. Taman, J. G. Stanbury,
Bro. Spackman feelingly replied
stating that he would treasure the
jewel and address, owing to its associa-
tion with the lodge that he had been
connected with for about 30 years, and
thanked the brethren kindly for their
good words, and token of appreciation.
In last week's issue of the local papers
Mr. Roweliffe states that on Oct. 4th,
one of his 'Wyandotte pullets began to
lay and by Dec.20th,(two months and
a half) two of these pullets had laid 37
eggs, He says also that the Wyan-
dotte can't be beaten by the Rocks as
winter layers. Let uL see. On the
3rd of Nov. Mr. L. C. Fleming had
a pullet which laid her first egg, and
by the end of Nov. she had laid 19 eggs
and by the end of Dec. had laid 38 eggs.
This means 38 eggs laid in 2 days less
than two months.hy one hen, against
37 eggs laid in two months and a half
by two hens. Mr. Fleming has anoth-
er pullet that laid on 12 consecutive
days These are Barred Rocks.
