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 successful means of starting a balky horse is to lift one of its feet and with a stone, or something hard, strike the shoe several times. This has been proven many a time and invariably has the desired effect. The sympathy of the many friends will go out for Rev. R. J. M. and Mrs. Perkins in the loss of their infant son, which took place on Saturday last at the age of two days. The cause of death was due to congenital heart trouble.

M., o _.f the A. 0. U. W, paid his official visit to the Lodge here on Friday night last. A very pleasant evening was spent by the brethern present and the distin- guished visitor gave the officers great 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 Grand Master of the A. O. U. W., was paying his offlcal visit to the Lodge here. It is reasonable to expect that 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. .A. Kippen correspondent says: "Mr. and Mrs. John R. McDonald, who have been residents of the 2nd concession of. Tuckersmith, for several years, last weel: removed to Thames road, where they purpose remaining for a time, un- til they get their new residence in Exeter completed. Mr. and Mrs. Mc- Donald will be much missed by the people of this vicinity, but all wish them health and happiness in their new home."

The entertainments will be good each night, and a small admission fee will be charged. These entertain- ments are given to advertise the Irish Professor's famous remedies. Persons affected in any way should not fail to call on the Irish Professor during his stay here, Mr: James Atkinson received the sad news last week of the death of his brother.Joseph Atkinson,of Killarney, Man. The deceased was a former resi- dent of Biddulph and was well-known and highly respected by a large circle of friends both in that township and Killarney. Mr. Atkinson had been suf- fering from an internal gathering in the head and that with other compli- When one considers the record being made by the hens owned by several of our citizens, one inust come to the con- clusion that there must have been "a corner" on the egg market to have kept the price to such a high notch, Re- cently T.

Carling and David Rowt- cliffe gave accounts of their hens' do- ings in these columns. ,Compare them. with the following reported by Sidney Sanders: 7 leghorns started laying Dec. 24th and by Jan. 1st had laid 21 eggs.

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.

The weather-wise people, who place confidence in his little hogship's pro- phesying power, declare with all ser- iousness and faith that this animal is- sues forth from his nest, 'or winter qu.u•ters on the morning of Feb. 2nd and surveys the surroundings. If he catches a glimpse of his shadow, he retraces his steps with haste to resume his warm quarters for another six weeks. If un the contrary the skies ate cloudy and no shadow can be seen be makes preparations for spring, shakes off his lethargy and once more enjoys life. However, the day was bright for several hours and little hog gy would unmistakably see his shad- ow, hence we may expect a spell of cold weather such as we have not yet experienced.

JOHNS Tailor, txeter, Ontario 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.
