Each municipality was represented by menibers of its council and Messre. W. Proudfoot ap- peared for Ashfield and Charles Garrow for Goderich. Mr. P. A. Bialeolmson was absent, being in Vancouver owing to the illness of his brother. The situa- tion of the ill-fated road was again dis- cussed and the following steps agreed on: L Tenders will be asked for the pur- chase of the road and material, with the charter, a reserved bid being fixed. 2. In the event of no sale, tenders will be asked for the sale of the rnater- ial now on the line. 3. The solicitors will again urge on the Government the utmost speed in the arrest and prosecution of the abs- conded J. W. Moyes. 4.

Ae a result of the new regulations of the High School Entrance Board only some 850 students presented themselves for the examination for High School Entrance in Toronto, instead of the 2,- 400 approximately that would otherwise have had to write upon the examination. The other 1,500 have been duly certifi- cated by their respective principals, and as a result they will escape the try- ing ordeal, which, this year, however, on account of the temperate weather, was not as bad as usual. While the number of students who must take the examination is greatly reduced through the new regulations, it is expected that in subsequent years there will be a still greater reduction as the principles make a fuller and more acurate report of the work done by their pupils, At present they naturally tend to err on the safe side, and many children are forced to write this year who will probably be successful in their examinations. In future it should be possible to so gauge the capabilities of the scholars that where a principle does not feel justified in certificating a pupil the child's parents will hardly consider it worth while subjecting the child to the ordeal of an examination except in instances where he or she is over the usual age or where exceptional circum- stances intervene. As a result of the mull smaller num- ber of papers that will have to be read the results of the examination should be out this year much earlier than usual, so that there should not be the long wait of three weeks or a month before the results are heard.

The Jersey cow is the most eco- nomic producer of milic for all pur- poses of dairying, say admirers of the breed—that Is, she will produce a pound of butter fat or a pound of tailk solids front less feed than any other breed of dairy cow. This has been proved in competitive public tests. The high percentage of fat in Jerse: milk and its "churnabil- ity" make it the best for butter malting. The cow herewith pictured is a Jo.....ey at' high degree. poesible to bring the cow to a larger tlow of milk. Care must be exeacised after the cow has closely (1pp:welled the limit of the amount of food she can 00115111.110 WW1 - out hurting herself In twenty-four home, 811(1 by no means at that time sbould the ratioa be increased more rapiely than one half pound every oth- er day. Every cow has two limits—namely, the limit of her canacity and the limit of her ability. Tile Ulna of her ca- pacity signifies the amount of food she can consume in twenty-four hours. The limit of her ability signifies the amount of milk she is capable of giv- ing in twenty-four hours. Wise feed- ers do not try to reach the limit of a cow's capacity, bet strive to provide her with just as much feed as is nec- essary to stimulate her to work to the limit of her ability. There is no way of determining thie other than by weighing the feed and weighing the milk. After the cow has reached the limit of lier ability to yield milk the feeder needs to change her ration from time to time both in character and amount in order that the cow keeps in good working condition and produce her maxinium amount of milk, If it be noted that tbe cow is pro- ducing a large flow of milk and be- coming thin in flesh, then it is neces- sary to add carbohydrates to the ration in substitutiOn for some of the protein fend, -Carbonaceous foods are as fol- lows: Ground corn, hominy feed, corn silage and barley. On the other hand, if the cow seems to be laying fat upon her body at the expense of the milk pail, then it is advisable to substitute for a portion of the carbonaceous foods those rich in protein, such as gluten feed, oil meal, bran and ground oats. COST OF SILAGE. Varies Widely In Different Sections of the United States. Investigations conducted by the dairy division of the United States depart- ment of agriculture during the past few years evith eighty-seven silos in various parts of the United States in- dicate the cost of filling to be an aver - a1' 87 cents per ton. The cost of growing the silage crop was $1.58 per ton on the average, which, added to the ailing cost, makes the average to- tal cost of silage $2.45 per ton. However, no definite etatement can be made as to the exact cost of sling°, as so much depends upon the yield per acre, cost of production and other con- ditions that vary so greatly in differ- ent sections of the country. For the individual farms uuder consideration the eost of silage varied from. $1.10 to $5.42 per ton. The investigators state that $1.50 to $3.50 per ton represents the limits between Which naost of the silage is produced. Rape Pasture For Hogs. A good, mellow seed bed should be prepared, and the tleher the gronnd the greater will be the production of forage. The crop will ordinarily be ready to graze ha six weeks from the Clue it is sown. When it has re:Jelled a height of ten or twelve inches the hogs may be turned in. If it is allowed to get too large and rank the hogs may not eat it readily. Where several lots are :evailable it is n splendid plan to make suceeesive seedIngs so that the hogs may be moved to a fresh lot es soon as one is ggazed down. If rape is not grazed too closely it will eon - thine to grow When the !mg are re- moved. and later they May be turned on again. The Ayrshire cow is of Scotch ori- gin and is corninp; into prominence in all parts of North America. It ranks among the foremost of the recognized dairy breeds. Official and competitive tests have shown the Ayrshire to be an economical Producer of milk and butter, yield- ing a large amount for the food consumed. Ayrshires are strong and healthy, with plenty of vitality. The illustration shows an Ayrshire cow of the best tYPe. stitute skinneilk gradually, the propor tion of whole milit being made less and less each day until the calf is get- ting skinandlk exclusively at the end of a week or ten days. By this grad - nal change the calf does not notice the difference, and he is less apt to have the scours. Virhen the calf gets a few months old .T begin substituting water for the skinimilk which leaves me more of this for the hogs. I3y this time the calf will be eating considerable alfalfa hay besides its grain, and it will not need so Much milk. A calf which has been feti grain can be weaned from its al- lowance of milk much sooner than a calf that has received no grain. It also evill be in better condition to place on dry- feed when winter comes. Corn may be included in the grain mixture to replace part of the oats after the calf is a few months old, but I do not like it at first, although theoreticalli it 18 usually the cheapest grain. BREEDING TERMS. Meaning of the Designations Applied to Descent of Animals. A pedigree is the record of the breed. Ing of the animal. It gives the regis. tered name and registered number of the animal's ancestry for a considera- ble number of generations, says the IKenaas Farmer. Pure bred animals 're those only which have pedigrees. ; In the case of dairy animals the oft]. dal records of females are included in the pedigree. In the case of males the number of heifers attaining distinction in milk production are shown. In the ,.base of both beef and dairy cattle the pedigree is not only a certificate of pure breeding, but is an index to the breeding value of the animal by mak; hag a matter of record the accomplish. snents of the ancestry. A crossbred animal is the offspring ;of a pure bred sire of one breed and it 1 pure bred darn of a different breed. I Grade animals are usually those of which one of the parents is a pure bred ' and the other a "scrub," or at least an animal not pure bred. This is the gen- eral meaning. However, the offspring of grade parents would be a grade also. The term high grade applies to an animal from a pure bred sire and from 1 a dam that has much pure blood. How - 1 ever, in the ease of both grade and I pure bred the conditions might be re- Nersed and the dam be pure bred and the sire a grade. This, however, is not • Vsual. A high grade herd of Jersey, ITer instance, would mean ordinarily that a pure bred sire had been used on a herd of common cows ad that an- other pure bred sire had been used on ' the heifers resulting from the use of !',he first sire, etc. The terin high grade ibegins to epply te the animals whieh ! 'have severeeighths of pure breeding or the malt of the third pure bred cross. The term high grade Is usually used 10 tennection with the systematic breed- ing up from common stock. Profit In Live Stock. I Live stock rasing requires diversified farming, the kind that produces art abundance of feed for the animals. It is a mistake to attempt to raise anie Mats when the feed must be bought at 'present prices. Where both feed and diniroals are raised on the farm you have two opportunities for making prof - on the feed and another on the live stock—and in case you "break even" on both the BIM= IS 30 left to maintain the fertility of the soil.

ROWELL FEELS. Mr. N. W. Rowell received the results of the election at the Woodstock Young Liberal Club rooms, and interviewed later in the evening, made the follow- ing statement: -- "It is gratifying to find that, not- withstanding the whole weight of Gov- ernment forces, aided by the organized liquor interests, we have inmproved our position in the House. For the sake of the policy for which we were fight- ing I regret that our gains were not numerous. We were greatly handicap - capped by the short period we had to prepare for the election. It took up all our time to get candidates in the -1d. We had no time to perfeet an organiza- tion in the great majority of the ridings a id no matter how good a cause a good organization is necess- ary to ensure success. In the two Brants, where our candidates were in the field since the first of the year, and had an oPportunity to perfect an organ- ization, we succeeded in winning both seats. One lesson of the campaign is, we must perfect organization in all the ceastituencies of the Province, and we should commence to do so at once. "I desire to thank the electors of the Province who. gave us their support, and particularly the large body of vol- unteer workers -who have freely given up their time in this contest. We have brought into the political affairs of the Province a new spirit of public service, and hundreds of men who have not hitherto taken and active. interest in political affairs will undoubtedly do so in the future. This is the guarantee of the ultimate success. IL 330 not suffer another day with Itching, Bleed- ing, or Pram'. Ing Piles, No surgical oper- ation required.

The Glad Gasne All men admire the cheerful:gent, who doesn't grumble worth a cent when things ,ttre going wrong; who doesn't nurse his trifling sores, but whistles as he does his chores or splits the air with song. This worker hasn't much to say as cheerily he toils away, and hoes his row of beans; he preaches to us by his acts, and not by helpful facts through books or magazines. Example is the stuff we need, for admonition's gone to seed, and precepts are a bore; we're growing tired of Sunny Jims who swing their jaws and wave their limbs and !preach forever more. One man who does his little stunt without a grumble or a grunt, and beams r.with seemly II mirth, does more his brothers to inspire than all the bards who swat the lyre, or orators, on earth. One sorehead, working in a crowd, will act upon it like a cloud that threatens rain or snow; but one brave chap who gaily sings, the while his busy hammer rings, will dissipate its woe. The sermons that achieve the most are sprung by men who seldom boast of how they sing and dance, who wear the workman's sweat - stained clothes, and give their jaws profound repose whene'er they have the chance.

WAS BOTHERED WITH BILIOUSNESS - AND SOUR STOMACH FOR 20 'YEARS Sour Stomach and Biliousness are caused by a sluggish Liver, for when it is not working properly, it beide back the bile, which is so essential to promote the niovement of the bowels, aed the bile gets into the blood instead of passing through the usual diary:lel, thus causing many stomach and bowel troubles. Mr. Charles Pettit, 250i Richmond Street, Lotidoe, Ont., writes( --"I feel it my duty to write you a few lines in regard to your Milburn's Laxa-Liver MIN.

COWS THAT WEAR WELL. ^ One of the many advantages reaped from systematic cow testing is the fact that it not only detects cows gf indiffer- ent value (aving dairymen the burden of providing for worthless cows, instead of their having gooa cows to support them) but also it has frequently dis- covered valuable cows. For instanee, a farmer at Ennismore, Ontario, had a small, underaized 'native' cow which he intended to sell, not placing much value on her. But cow testing showed that she is otie of the best in the herd both for milk and fat production. Don't sacrifice good cows. This recalls another cow at Ayers Cliff, Quebec, bought at auction for $28,00 because no one knew her value. Indeed she was put in with three others as the four poorest in the herd of the man who was selling out. The present owner believes in cow testing, and has refused S100,00 for her: she gave 322 pounds of fat in seven months. The men who have built up herds that average 8,000 or 9,000 pounds of milk per cow are just those men who know, through having proved it, that cow testing pays. Your cows may be like fancy china, of very fine appear- ance, but they may not wear well. But the tested cows, that do produce, that do wear well, may bring you in sixty or seventy dollars each during the seven months' factory season, HOMSEEEKERS' EXCURSIONS TO WESTERN CANADA.
