It is altogether likely that Huron county will be subjected to a recarrying in the redistribution bill which is now before the Dominion parliament at the present session. It is understood that the county will lose one member, and that the new division will constitute north and south ridings, with the dividing line 'probably not far from the Grand Trunk from Dublin to Goderich. If this plan is carried out, Mr. J. J. Mermer, the, present member for South Huron, will no doubt be the favorite for the Conservative nomination for the new south riding and Mr. James Bow- man, member for East Huron, will prob- ably expect to be chosen for the north riding. The present member for West Huron may receive a senatorship or a Judgeship, A provineial redistribution also is due and the latest news is that Huron is to retain its three members, but that God- erich township is to be taken from South Huron and added to the centre riding. The idea, of course, is that the large Conservative majority which the township always gives may embarras Mr. Proudfoot, who is not exactly a favorite with the government at Toron- to. Wawanosh Pioneer Dead. There passed away at his home in Sidney, Vancouver Island, on February 3rd, Samuel B. Fralick, a former well- known resident of East Wawanosh.

One of the chief reasons for testing cows not simply once in a while, but at regular intervals, is found in the fact that they are known to vary so greatly and often so inexplicably, Apart alto- gether from what are termed normal variations from milking to milking, be- sides the variations between morning and evening, and the variations between the for milk and the striepings, careful observers have noticed in two days a variation in the test of almost two per cent of fat in the milk of individual Cows, for which no reason cats be assign ed. Obviously then it would be quite un- fair to judge any cow on any one iso- lated test when it might be 3.0 one day and 4-8 another. Which could you take? A fair and just way is to take samples regularly and test a composite Sample once a month. Then there will be cred- it given where it is really due, not nec- essarily to the one that is supposed to be it high tester, because she is of fancy Mime or fancy price, but frequently to tacitly depised individual which is really the queen of the dairy. It will pay to select those cows that are known, not aupposed, to yield milk rich in fat. IMO Florence Guernsey, president of the NOW York Federation of Women's Clubs, belongs to 32 club organizations. She is a Worker, not a figurehead. Little Girl Badly Burned. Irene Marsh, of the Township of Grey, a little girl, three years of age, was brought to the Hospital on Thurs- day last suffering from terrible burns on the lower part of her face, neck and arms, as the result of her little brother playing with matches. She is receiving the mot careful attention at the Hos- pital and it is hoped that in time she may recover, ,but he may be disfigured for life.

Mr. Waiter Haines returned to his osition in the Dominion Bank in Sea - forth on Monday after spending a few weeks at his home here nursing a sprained ankle The Horse. Be kind to old Dobbin, the generous steed that labors whenever he's told, and see he has lots of the life-giving feed, and blanket his frame when he's cold. The horee is the best of the sse. vents of man, the one that is anxi, to please; he mills on his feet jus' .s long as he can, and pulls when L's down on his knees. He'll work whee so sore that's it's torture to walk, he'll work when he's feeble and lame; the story we'd hear, if the horses could talk, would fill human bosoms with shame. The horse is so faithful, so patient, and good, he ought to be loved and caressed; too often men lam him with billets of wood, and score him with language unblessed. Too often men work him Until he is old, then sell him to wandering knaves, to roam o'er the country, be bartered and sold, with other poor heart-brolteri slaves. Be kind to old Dobbin, who never refused to toil for you, early or late; whenever you look on a horse that's abused, you'll know that its owner's a skate. You'll know that his soul has been twisted awry, or made ort a dissolute plan; you'll know that he locks all those qualities high which thrive in the heart of a Walt.
