Grand Trunk Detective Day was in
Brussels last week, looking into the stray
Ing cattle question. The G. T. R. is de-
termined to prevent the possibility of an
accident, and will have all cows and horses
impounded found along their dines. Far-
mers and other owners of cattle living in
the vicinity ot the railroad should make a
note of this if they wieh to avoid future
trouble and expense,
Canadians will not look upon it as a
good omen that one of the first offiatal acts
of the new Grand Trunk Board of Direc-
tors was to increase the salary of the new
President from $12,500 a year to V20,000.
In the condition the Grand Trunk is in,
a redaction in the salaries of the high offi-
cials and a slight increase in salaries paid
those in lower offices, would have been
more in accord with public opinion.

Last fall when wheat was selling at 53c.
a bushel, a well known Hallett farmev
determined to try an experiment in feed:
ing wheat. He had 71 bushels of wheap
on hand, so he boneht 9 hogs, for which
he paid $29.50 ; the wheat was feed to tile
hogs until it wart all used up. they getti4
very little elee in addition, and when he
sold the hogs he realized $94 on them. 'slt
will be seen that plus his work in feeding
the hogs, he got a very good price for his
wheat.

Proposed New Canadian ]flag.
Sir Donald Smith, M. P. the other
day called a few members ol both sides
of the House together to talk over the
question of a new Cla.nadian flag. The
present one is objectionable from the
crowded effect given by the provincial
arms. To take the place of this, those
who discussed the subject with Sir
Donald were almost a, unit in ',Savor of
the Maple Leaf. Lady Aberdeen has
been consulted about the matter and
warmly approves of the proposed
change, Inquiries are now being made
as to the most effective way of carrying
out Sir Donald's proposal. It will be
necessary first of all, for our Govern-
ment to approve of the adoption of the
flag and then to seek a fiat of the Col-
lege of fieraldry in G-reat Britain. In
order that its use may be legalized on
Canadian ships the approval of the
Imperial Government will be necessary,
and a warrant must be obtained under
Her Majesty's seal: The matter will
be submitted to Hon. Mr. Costigan in a
few dap.

latter. As the members of .Advance

and willing to show the spirit of sym-

of succese to the evening'e entertain-

the invitabiun of Kirkton council, the
chair being filled by T. Roadhouse the
select councillor who made a modest;
but effective speech on the duties and
obligations of the society to the cause of

rrost,, and tbe Xtuit Crop,
Mr. L, Woolverton, Secretary of the
Fruit Growers' Association of Ontario,
writes from Grimsby under date of May
16, as follows :-"A few days having
elapsed slime the occurrence of the frost
on bhe eve eninof the 12th inst., a more
just estimate -of the amount of damage
can be made. In the Grlrimsby section,
the fruit -growers do not think the loss
will be very great. It will only amounb
to a thinning oub of grapes, peaches
and °berries, and still leave a sufficient
number to mature a fair crop, and pos-
sibly the quality of the fruit will be
better for this thinning. .1.1 ortunately,
the blossoms bad not yet fallen, and
the young fruit already formed under-
neath was protected from the frost by
Ibis floral envelope. Cherries and
Peaches on the more exposed portions
of the trees shoW change of color when
examined, and this means that they are
destroyed, bett, in tbe under portions of
the limbs and throughout the middle of
the tree, the fruit appears to have en-,
tirely escaped injury, This section
owes its comparative ininamity from
frost to its being closed in on ono side
by the mountain, and the other side by
the lake."
Excitement in Wheat.
There has been another sharp ad-
vance in the prices of wheat this week,
and in the past few days the July option
has advanced three cents per bushel in
Chicago. The markets on this side of
the line have been unsettled, owing to
this advance. American wheat was
offered to Ontario millers at prices a
trifle less than those asked for Ontario
wheat, and it was impossible for prices
of our wheat to advance further unless
the American market moved up. Now
,prices here are higher this week, and
quotations for winter wheat are over
900., against 57c. and 5Se. a year ago.
Manitoba wheat is also higher this
week, and owing to the small offerings,
holders who have any to offer are very
strong. The boom in wheat is due
chiefly to reports of injury to the grow-
ing orop from insects and drought.
ables are cutting no figure of import-
ance in the present bulge. Sales in
Chicago are for outside account and for
shorts, who had refused to believe that
the wheat was injured, but who, now
that the reports show- a marked unan-
imity, are getting frightened. The
shipments to Europe lately have been
large, and thee appears to be no
scarcity of grain for foreigners.

Incendiary Fire )C
The citizens were again awakened from
their most peaceful elumbera, on Monday
morning about 2 o'clock, by the ringing
of the fire alarm. "The tannery on fire!"
was the general exclamation. While
returning to Hensall after spending Sun;
day in Craig, Mr. J. E. MoDonell saw
the fire while yet small, burning at the
corner of the building. He quickly gave
the alarm, and in a few minutes, the,
proprietor, Mr. McCallum, and tamily had
it under control; and although on the spot
in an incredibly ehort time, the firemeu
were not required. The fire was kindled
en three different places and burning well
at every point when noticed by Mr.
MoDonell.
No sooner had the excited citizens
returned to their homes and were pioely
settled in bed than the bell rang out the
alarm a second time. The sky was
illuminated, and it was soon discovered
that the power house at the G. T. R,
bridge used to force water into the large
tank from which the locomotives are
supplied, was on Bre. The fire had
gained too much headwayand the building,
engine and boiler were burned to the
ground before assistance could reach the
&pot. The persons who made the fires at
the tannery doubtlesa fired the power
house. They are both on the river bank
and the tank house was in direct line ou
the avenue of escape for the fire bug.
A thoroughbred heifer, belonging to Mr,
D. I), Wilson, fell and broke its leg a few
days before the sale. It was killed and
when dressed, weighed 1200 lbs. of meat.
