' As a rule a man does riot invite his best 'iend and his tailor to dine togethee with him at a swell restaurant. Still less common is the spectacle of a young millionaire gie- ing a dinner costing $5,000 to some sixty persons, about equally divided between his friends and his tailor, bootmaker, haberdasher, hosier, shirtmaker, hatter, etc. Nor yet is It given to every young man to be- come 21 years h of age and be the possessor of $115,000,000 in his own name at the same time. It was this happy eircuanstance that prompted E. A. Robinson, son geof the late Peter Robinson, of Lon- don, England, ice give a grand din- ner to the above mentioned company at the Trocadero the other night. LOYAL TO HIS FRIENDS.• Besides, during Mr. Robinson's minority he was faithfully ,waited upon by a bevy of obliging 'trades- men, and he wished to express his appreciation a their kindness. So he mixed up his friends and his tradesmen, mid fed them as most of them never had beea fed before. Everything veas or the mot ex- pensive kind in London. A Vien- nese band played Swim's "Imperia Edward" march and other choice items during dinner. The menu WOW printed in gold. There . was turtle soup to follow royal Whit- s ab e and. le SWCOTS pro- perly included souffle Rothschild. Yet it must be recorded that the menu nearly broke the manager's heart, for it was insisted that some -a of the most curious of the chef's masterpieces should be omitted in favor of such thing's as roast chick- en and water creee and saddle of mutton, ancl, worst of all, as • the manager admitted with a sigh, the whole menu had to be printed in English.. There was champagne at 14 gill- - lings a magnum, and Chateau La- •fltte, 1877, et 2 guineas a magnum, - and liquors in the shape of Cour- ' voisiers, 1815, and 'brandy, at half a crown a glass. Gomorra FOLLOWED DINNER There was not only a dinner, but there was also a concert. Thirty- three of the most eminent ladies and gentlemen from the music halls were especially retained to look in be- tween 11 p.m. and 4 a.m. to enliven the after-dinner proceedings. There were comedians and comediennes, burlesque actresses+, comic jugglers. tertorsa bassos, 'celloists, duettists and dancers, a human cornet and a e man of memory.

NEXT 81)RINII'S GARDEN THIS IS THE TIME OF 'YEAR TO START IT, Nearly All the Bulbs an.d Many Annuals Sown, in the Autumn', It ie a long look ahead for next spring's garden, but flower lover know that to experience the joys of the first awakening' of nature pre- parations must be made. S,1Irubse bushes, hardy plants and bulbs can- not be expected to be platted. in the early spring a,nd settle down to im- mediate 'business after having been kept in an unnatural, dormant Con- dition all winter. How much better then to set out all such plants dur- ing this month, when, growing ac- customed to their envirenment, they will live their normal life during the winter, and, with the first opening of spring, strengthen root and gain vigorous bloseoming possibilities. Hardy shrubs, bushes and plants should be set out now, well watered, fertilized, • and when eold weather comes covered with leaves or straw. The peony, •that favorite of our granchnothaa's garden, will rarely bloom if delayed in planting. Some of the iris and lilies may and do in tbeir bounteous, generous way, but not very often, No hardy bulbs do as well with a spring setting out, and would the flower lover be joy- fully greeted in the earliest spring • ' littIe a d Y and crocus, with their followers, the hyacinth, tulip, jonquil: and daffodil, , they must be planted during this Month for best reehlts, as they colcl weather comes to insure good blossoms in spring.

CemMieSion- er Tells of the Fuaction of the Dairy CQW. It is scarcely necessary to say Viet the produetion of milk is •the greatest function of the dairy cew. The economical production of Serge quantities of milk, butter or cheese, determines the v ale e Of the cow, and the best efforts of breeders of dairy stook should always be airecte ea towards this goal. if the dairy cow does hot yield a profitable flow of milk, she ceases to have any rea- son for existence, Beefing qualities are • of comparatively little im- portance, except in cases when • a good ciew loses the use of a portion of her udder, or in some way be- comes undesirable as a milker. • FANCY POINTS. It naturally follows that to secure the best practical results, little at- tention should be paid to what are commonly spoken of as fancy points. It is only in very exceptional cases that color of the hair, size and con- tour of the horns, graceful carriage, and conical teats„ can make any possible difference in the actual value of a cow, yet these and many other equally useless fancy points are held in high esteem by many breeders and judges. Beauty of form and breed type are always desirable, and breeders may well en- deavor to combine these in as great a degree as possible with capacity at the pail, but the latter must ever remain the first consideration. POINTS INDICATING. PRODUC- The first grear eOssential point to be sought in the dairy cow is con- stitution, without which she cannot stand the strain of many years' Y, heavy feeding and milking. The g wide chest, good heart -girth, and g general appearance of -vigor are the n- chief indications of constitution. O Other points largely indicative of production are :-a wide strong e muzzle, a comparatively open back - d Uwe or chine, indicating a tendency e- to make milk rather than fat, a n capacious barrel, capable of mak- ing use of large quantities of feed, d and a roomer, 'well -shaped udder, t with large mammary veins and • milk wells. A well known Canadian Y breeder has tersely summarized these ✓ qualinoations in the words -a big • mouth, a big belly, and a big bag. TESTED ANCESTORS. - Experienced men are able to select - good cows with a reasonable amount Y of certainty, but • the most expeat as to eecome a n sante 1± not pro vided with a bed wholly its own.

For the others, larger bulbs, beds must- be prepared, and each kind should be planted separateia, though there sheuld• be chosen varieties o - dairy judge ' is largely at sea when s he attempts to select a good bull by - appearances alone. When we come to the question of raising good cows, - we find that the only road to sue- s, cess is in breeding from cows of 01 known capacity and from bulls 1. whose female ancestors have also 0:been tested for merit at the pail and S I churn. It is almost imperative that • a good bull should 'be backed by 'a S1 considerable number of good pro- ,• deicing dams and grand -dams, if -; satisfactory results are to be expect-, S ed from his daughters. ADVANCED REGISTRY. About twentY ,years ago some of the prominent Americanbreeders of Holstein -Friesian cattle, impressed with the importance of the above the Supply ot Eggs. Professor J. W. Robertson, the Domini on Commissioner of Agricul- ture and Dairying, has jusIt held a conference in Montreal with the. poultry and egg branch of the Mon- treal Merchants' Association. The pi eaident and members represented that, owing to the attention which has been directed lately to the Rao - fits from the fattening of chickens, they feared that farmers were .1 at- tenipg and killing a large number of Pullets. If that practice were fol- lowed to any great extent, the mer - ?K,) chants feared there would be a great reduction in the production of eggs, consequently they advised that farm- ers be encouraged to put in the crates for fat -Lena -1g only cockerels, and that they should rear as many as practicable of good pullets for • the supply of eggs during the win -1 ter as well as for the supply of eggs• , during the summer. The export of 1. eggs from Canada which in 1896 on-; • ly amounted to the value of $807,- 086, two years later had grown to' , $1,255,304, and in 1901 had in- • creased to $1,691,640. THE EGG MERCHANTS the same balb, whose early- and lat- er habit of blooming will lengther out the life and beauty of the bed. For inetance, all varieties of tulips are marked by the seedsnian as question, started what is known. as 1 an "advanced registry," in • which cows could be recorded only after !making a milk or butter record greater than a certain high Istand- greally improved setae eight years stand- ard. This system of registry was , ego by the adoption of what is , known as "official testing." Under ,this plan all tests made are directly supervised by a capable dairyman sent as a representative cer an ex- periment station or agricultural col- lege, who sees the cows milked, weighs the milk, and tests same in duplicate with the Babcock tester. The correctness of these tests must be sworn to by . all concerned in conducting them. The system has now been adopted by the Guernsey, Ayrshire, and Jersey Associations of the United States, but in Canada only the . Holstein-Friesiau breeders have recognized the importance of the movement. They have recently established a "record of merit," in which a cow maybe entered only after rnakieg an official test for pro- duction of butter -fat. The standard requires • that a two-year-old heifer hall produce in seven days at least eight pounds of butter -fat, a three- year-old heifer ten pounds. a four- year-old cow eleven and a half pounds, and a mature cow thirteen pound. This is the highest stand- ard adopted by any association and it will doubtle.ss have a very bene- ficial effect on the butter producing qualities • of the breed in Canada. Other breeders of dairy cattle might well take tiei this matter also. SOME OF THE TESTS made by the Canadian Holsteins, nearly all under the 'supervision of Prof. Dean, of the Ontario Agricul- tural College, are given herewith, These are all for a period of seven clays. Tbe amount. of butter may be computed • approximately by adding one-sixth to the amount of butter- fat, since good butter averages about 85 per cent fat. Breeders of other sorts of dairy cattle are in- vited to send authenticated records of their cows. AGED COWS. Lbs. Lbs. Ver 1. jessle Veeman. A... 584.8 20.99 2. Calamity Jane...-. 572.5 20.04 3.

The bed should be well drained. A. south ex- posure will of course, give earlier flowers. 'The soil should be light and sandy, enriehea. with a good fer- tilizer well worked in. When Cold weather comes the beds should be well covered, not because Ireezing. will harm the bulbs, but that they may escape sudden thaws. Every garden should have bulbs to bridge over with their bloom the first awakening of spring flowers that must have time to leaf before- buds and al.ossoms come. In • the preparation for next spring's garden it must not be for- gotten that there are many of our anneals thatdo much better if the seed is sown, in the entainn. If one wants the wild cucumbers to do well, if fact to grow at all, it should be sown in the fall. Morn- ing glory seeds, too, will give earlier growth, while sweet peas, if semi in a eriney epot this autumn, will as- tonishone by coming up before snow has fully determined to leave. In anticipation of. the joy they will give the work is a pleasure. • HELP FOR xoTHERs. • further recommended that the farm-, ers be advised to kill off the cocks! after the first of June. This is de- I, • sirable in order that eggs collected • during June and later may be infer- tiie, arid therefore possess bettor ' keeping qualities during the hot weather. It is reported • that large quanti- ties of eggs are now imported into • the United Kingdom from continen- tal countries, notably Russia and Austria. These eggs are received In large cases packed ie. Straw. Ow- ing to the excellent reputation won bar Canadian eggs, English dealers in many instances are re -packing these • continental eggs into cases similar • to the Canadian standard egg case, holding thirty dozen each. Al- though the eggs are not labelled or sold as Canadian eggs, they are sold as eggs in Canadian cases, and to that extent they ha,ve an unfair advantage. While this practice is • are comaaaaaat,...to the quality and repliration of Canadian eggs, it is, • also, a direct injury, since some re- • tailers ma,y take it that those con- tinental eggs in Canadian oases, al- though not labelled "Canadian," are Canadian eggs, or that Canadian egg e are similar to them in siee, quality, and condition. The egg merchants, also, petition- ed that the Government should as- sist them to sectire a niimber Of ven- tilated cars for the carriage of eggs on the railwa.ers. - Depertmeat of Agriculture, Otta- • wa. • --.......4. • 1 trouble myself lees and less about What a book is; the main, point is what it briags me, what it suggeate • to ma -Goethe.

May Be Preveated by Using a Solution •Of Formalin. • Reports have beep received that a few lots of Canadian butter have been delivered in the United King- dom somewhat spotted with mould on the butter paper and between the box and the butter. That has oc- curred on saltless butter. As mould is a tiny plant or fungus, it is im- portant that butter makera and but- ter dealers should know by what means they can' entirely prevent its growth on butter packages, butter paper, or on the butter itself. Mould -can only come from pre-existing mould, or from spores, which serve the purpose of seed of fruit for its reproduction. If the spores be de- stroyed mould cannot begin to grow. Theconditions favorable for its growth are a certain degree of dampness and a moderately low temperatula-that is to say, a tem- perature below sixty degrees. Some forma of mould grow at temper- atures as low as 32 degrees Paha, or the 'freezing point of 'water. Formalin is an effective fungicide, or, in Other words, it is a destroyer of fungi and of the spores , of fungi. A weak solution of formalin is ef- fective for the destruction of spores of .mould. A good course for the butter maker to follow is to pre- pare A STRONG BRINE Ola SALT. adding one ounce of the forracain to one gallon of the brine. The but- ter paper should be soaked in this solution. The inside of all butter packages should, also, be rinsed with it. The butter paper while Still wet with the brine containing formalin should be placed inside the butter box, and the butter iramedi- ately packed in it. The brine con- taining the formalin will destroy all spores of mould on the butter pa- per and 011 the inside of the box. A brine can be used for a long per- iod if it be boiled °nee a week. As the formalin evaporates during the boiling process, it will be necessary to add to every gallon of brine, af- ter it has boiled and cooled, one °undo of formalin. For the protection of the butter which is to be shipped to the Unit- ed Kingdom, it is important that the butter be cooled to a tempera- ture under 38 degrees Fehr., Irma the second day after it is made. When butter is allowed to remain at a high temperature changes begin which spoil its delicate flavOr and fresh -made aroma. Each creation, should have a cold storage room at a temperature under 38 degreea Paha; only refrigerator cars should be used for the carriage of butter; and it should be put in Cold stor- age compartments on the steam- ship, and be carried at a teinpera- tare under 25 degrees.

Sumner, Asea.', Sept. 29.-(Spe- aial)-Mr. Louis 'Teeny, of this place, was so ill with 'rifleman:ration of bhe Bowels and Kidneys that no one ever expected him to recover. All hope had been abandoned and Ma. Teeny had made his will, fully expecting that he would die. In this extremity Mr. Cosgrove Postmaster, thought of Dodd's Kid- ney Pills and inimediately gave Mr. Teeny a dose. This treatment was continued at intervals with the re- sult that in a very short tane the man who was thought to be dying, was on his feet and going around as if nothing had happened. This remarkable cure of such an extreme case has created quite a sensation in the neighborhood and many kind words are being said of Dodd's Kieuay Pills for the wonder- ful work they did in Mr. Teeny's ease. 'This remedy has always been re- cognized among the people as a sure cure for Backache, Rheumatism and all ICidney Troubles, but this is the first ease ever reported in this vicin- ity where they have been used with such quick results. Mr. Teeny himself is very grateful to Dodd's Kidney Pills for his hap- py, restoration. People in and about Sumner have just about concluded that there is nothing in the way of sickness that Dodd's Kidney Pills will not 'cure, and there is scarcely a home to be found in the neighborhood that does not contain a box of this wonderful medicine. Men, women and children are find- ing out every day some new virtues in it and it is very interesting to hear them -get together and com- pare notes as to what Dodd's Kid- ney Pills have done in their various homes.
