A. BIG WHISKEY HAUL
IN Si. MARYS.
The St. Marys Journal says:
"Some time Friday afternoon Chief
of Police Hunt got a tip that a
freight car which had just been plac-
ed on the G. T. It. siding smhlt
strongly of liquor. A personal visit
confirmed the suspicion on th
at liquor
was in the car, which was under seal
and the contents invoiced as furni-
ture to a fictitious address, Mrs. .J.
Clifford, St. Marys, _ Ontario. The
goods had been shipped from Mon-
treal and $75 freight paid thereon.
Chief Hunt phoned Inspector Elliott
of Stratford,who motored over reach-
ing here something after 7.30 p.m.
Police Magistrate Butcher was called
from the Board of Trade meeting to
issue a warrant. All being in readi-
ness, Chief Hunt and Inspector El-
liott went down the G. T. R. yards
and lay in waiting some 150 feet
from the car, which stood. near the
Doolittle factory. After an hour and
a 'half four ni.en appeared, and after
twenty minutes hammering broke
the seal, and two of them got into
the car, when they were pouncedup-
on. The two men outside were arres-
ted, but the two men within jumped
out and escaped. Eight cases of li-
quor were found hidden among old
furniture. This with the prisoners
were taken to the police cells and
locked up for the night. They gave
their names, as G S. McDowell and.
J. Johnston Henry of London. Satur-
day morning they were brought be-
fore Police Magistrate Butcher and
swore they knew nothing of the li-
quor: that they had come to town
to look for work and while walking
the street were stopped by the other
two men in the car and asked if they
would like to make a couple of dol-
lars. They accepted the offer and
were taken up to unload the car.
They asked permission to telephone
London, which was granted. McDow-
ell's two brothers motored over and
put up $400 for each. The case comes
up for hearing at Stratford Thurs-
day afternoon. On Monday morning
the liquor was transferred from St.
Marys to Stratford. There was 380
bottles which at from $5 to $8 a bot-
tle would run from $1900 to $3400
in value, making the biggest haul of
liquor ever made under the Canada
Temperance Act in the County and
reflecting no small amount of credit
on Chief of Police Aunt and Inspec-
tor Elliott, in not only capturing the
goods but two of the parties impli-
cated. It is sincerely hoped that at
the investigation at Stratford, the
guilty parties will be discovered and
brought to task."
The liquor cases were disposed of
on Thursday by Magistrate, W. R.
Butcher who at the conclusion of the
evidence fined two London young
men $50 and costs.
McCurdy — Miller .—On Wednes-
day June the 25th, the home of Mr.
and Mrs. John M. Miller, Hibbert

ding when in the presence of about
sixty guests their daughter, Eliza-
ibeel became the bride of Mr. Milton
P. McCurdy of Usborne. The cere-
mony was performed by Rev. D.
Ritchie assisted by Rev. Dr.. Flet-
cher. As the strains of Lohengrins
march was being played by Edna
sister of the bride, the bride who
was given away by her father, "took
her place under an arch of ever-
greens and orange blossoms. She
wore a lovely gown of ivory crepe
de chene with bead trimmings and
a dainty veil arranged in cap effect
with orange blossoms and carried a
shower bouquet of carnations and
fern, and wore the groom's gift, a
pendant set with pearls. During the
signing of the register Miss Rhoda
Barbour, Cousin of the bride, sang,
"Because." After the wedding supper
was served the bridal' party left for
their home amid good wishes for a
long and happy wedded life. The
numerous and costly gifts received
by the bride and groom show the es-
teem in which the young couple are
held.
Rev. A. J. Love took a car load
to'Stratford to attend the tempepr-
ance convention that was held there.
Miss Jean Hamilton was in Strat-
ford writing on exams 'in music.

26th, about eighty people gathered
at the home of Mrs. McVey to do
honor to Miss C. McDonald, who af-
ter teaching for four years has re-
signed her school.. A neatly worded
address was read byb Mr. R. Sillery
one of the trustees, expressing their
deep appreciation of Miss McDon-
ald's services, while the pupils pre-
sented a beautiful caserole and a
silver and gold cream and sugar set.
Miss McDonald responded in a feel-
ing manner. All spent a very plea-
sant evening.

nard Lawson, of 249 Nile St. Strat-
ford, was united in wedlock to Sam-
uel Earl Treffry of the township of

ed at the home of the bride's parents
The bride looked charming in a wed-
ding dress of white silk crepe de

with orange blossoms as she entered

and carrying a bouquet of white car-
nations. The bride was attended by
her sister, Miss Margaret Lawson and
the groomsman was Mr. Arthur Tref-
fry, brother of the groom. The brides-

O -OPERATIVE experiments
have been conducted in agri-
culture throughout Ontario
annually !since 1886. Previous
to the war the number of farmers
conducting these experiments reach-
ed over 5,000, and in 1918 (the last
year of the war) the number was
slightly over 3,600. Some of the
leading varieties of crops now grown
in general cultivation throughout
Ontario were introduced through the
medium of the co-operative' work,
such, for instance, as the O.A.C.
No. 21 barley,Marquis spring
wheat,
,
O A.C. No. 72 oats; O,A.C. No. 3
oats, Dawson's Golden Chaff winter
wheat, U,A.C. No. 61 spring rye,
Canadian Beauty pease, O.A.C. No.
81 Soy beans, Rye buckwheat, Golden
Bantam sweet corn, Early Amber su-
gar cane, Dwarf Essex rape, Irisb
Cobbler pptatoes, Yellow Leviathan
mangels, Grimm and Ontario Varie-
gated alfalfa, etc.
The co-operative experiments en-
able practical farmers to obtain in-
formation,,regarding varieties of field
crops, mixtures of grain for grain
and for fodder production, ways in
increasing soil fertility, etc., for their
own particular farms which they can-
not possibly get in any other way.
They furnish hundreds and even
thousands of object lessons annually,
which form centres of interesting
study along the lines of progressive
agriculture. ' They enable farmers to
get a supply of pure seed of the
leading varieties of field crops which
rapidly increase in quantity and
which • furnish seed for. sowing and:
planting in large areas and for sell-
ing at good prices. The whole work
leads to a ;,substantial increase in
farm profits and to a steady advance
in agricultural education throughout
Ontario_
The plan of the co-operative work
for 1919 is printed in circular form
and has already been sent to all the
successful co-operative experimenters
of the past few years. Other inter-
ested farmers could' secure a copy of
the circular ey applying to the Depart-
ment of Field Husbandry, Agricul-
tural College. Guelph, Ontario. Dr.

HURON OLD BOYS OF TORONTO
MAKE MERRY.
A large crowd of holiday makers
visited Queenston Heights from Tor-
outo, a very large per cent of whom
were taking the trip with the Huron
Old Boys' Association of Toronto. It
is estimated that tickets were sold to
nearly one thousand people for this
excursion, about 600 of whom left
Toronto on the. 9:30 boat.
George J. Murgrove, M. P. P., for
Welland, was among those who met
the excursion at Queenston; also

Care of Cow and Young Calf.
cleanliuess are the
to observe in caring
Kindness and
two chief points
for dairy stock.
About a week before the young
calf is expected, the cow should be
placed in a clean, well -bedded, com-
fortable box -stall. The practice ei
oompeleing cows to give birth to their
calves, tied in the row, is cruelty for
the cows, dangerous for the calf, and
bad for the whole held. Privacy and
quietness should be the rule at this
time.
The cow should be allowed to lick
the calf dry, and should be kept - tied
until the after -birth is removed. The
two may be left together for one to
three days. Some remove the calf
at once, but if it is to be reared, It
should be left with the dam for a
abort time, in order to give the young
animal a good start. Leaving cow
and calf together for a day or two
also tends to remove inflammation
from the udder of the cow.
If necessary the cow's udder should
be bathed with warm water or some
form of liniment such as camphor-
ated oil, or equal parts of turpentine
and vinegar and an egg in one quart
of the mixture.
In case the cow and calf are all
right, they may be separated in not
over three days, and the cow be re-
turned to her regular stall. The calf
may be allowed to remain in the box -
stall, it not needed for another cow,
or be placed in the nursery along
with other calves, as this will cause
it to forget its "mammy" more quick-
ly. It should receive its mother's
milk for a week, whole milk for two
or three weeks, then skim milk and
other suitable feeds for six months,
and be kept dry and clean at all
times.—Prof. H. H. Dean, Ontario
Agricultural College, Guelph.

EW growers realize the Int-

ing and marketing their early
vegetables, The large major-
ity are expert enough to produce an
excellent crop, but there is perhaps
only &beet one out of ten that har-
vest and market their crop to the
best advantage. The public is to-
day. perhaps more than before, de-
manding a high grade product. They
are willing to pay the price if they
get the quality, and the gardener
that will make the greatest success
will be the one that caters to this
demand.

There are several

greatest amount of success. Fore-

they are taken from the ground.

least possible loss in quality will be

To market the vegetable crop to
best advantage the grower must ever
keep in mind the ultimate destination
of his goods. The housewife Al the r.!
one that he must please. If she s
well pleased then she tells her neigh-
bors quietly over the back fence, 'but,
if' She. finds 'that she 'haft received
something of very inferior quality
then she proclaims her grievance
front the housetops and forever after
will be hard to convince that there
is such a thing as high quality.
The most important factors to bear
in mind are few in number and are
not hard to put into practice. The
proper degree of maturity is the first
one that must be considered. Carrots,
beets, onions, radishes and the other
bunching crops should not be pulled
before they reach the proper size.
They should be carefully pulled and
taken to the bunching houses. There
they are neatly bunched, tied and
washed and then should be protected
from the atmosphere as much as pos-
sible by covering. Lettuce, spinach,
parsley, cabbage and cauliflower
should be carefully cut and placed in
baskets or carriers. Care should be
taken that none of the dirt is taken
up and allowed to fall through the
leaves, as this is hard to remove even
In, careful washing and will always
lower the quality.
There is perhaps not more than
one person in ten that can be called
a really successful salesman, and
here is where a good many of our
growers fall down, and after produc-
ing a high grade product they are
unable to market it to the best ad-
vantage. The first requisite, as has
already been mentioned, is a high
grade article. An inferior grade can-
not be expected to obtain the highest
price. The proper care in preparation
is also important. A. neat, attrac-
tive package, well -packed, with high
grade vegetables will always com-
mand the higher price. Furthermore,
an attractive article will be its own
salesman, and no matter how over-
stocked the market may be, will com-
mand a good price. The proper care
in sorting and grading is also quite
important. Vegetables of poor qual-
ity should never be placed on the
market. They will not only have to
be sold at a much lower price but
will also have the effect of lowering
the price on the higher grades, with
the result that many a good market
has been almost ruined by a small
quantity of inferior goods.
From this we see that the greatest
results can only be obtained by grow-
ing a high grade article, carefully
harvested and attractively and effi-
ciently marketed. A. H. McLennan,

Trimming and Staking Tomatoes.
This method of handling tomatoes
has come into very extensive use in
the past few years among the com-
mercial market gardeners, owing to
the high price of land and backyard
gardens. The plants as a rule are set
two feet apart each way and after
piantiug are given one cultivation.
The sticks are then set; driving
them down about a foot into the
ground and leaving from eve to five
and a half above the ground. These
sticks may be made from mill edg-
ings, saplings or anythtege else of a
similar nature about on;rand a half
inches square and strong enough to
hold the plants when the fruit
is fully grown. After driving
the sticks and tying the plants
to them the ground should be
covered from four to six inches thick
with very strawy manure, as a mulch.
This mulch will keep the moisture in
the ground and, at the sante titre,
remove any necessity for cultivation
and other disturbance of the roots.
In growing tomatoes on the single,
stens, such as is used in this method,
all side branches wbich appear
where leaf stems join the main stem
of the plant are removed as quickly
as possible. If they are allowed to
grow It will take away very eetuable
plant food from the growing plant.
The plant should be tied every eight
or twelve inches to the stake and
when they 'have reached the top are
cut off. ---A, I3. MaoLenuan, Ontario

Why Plenty of Water Is Necessary!
for Cows In Hot Weather.
Water is very necessary for cows
at all times, because the body itself'
contains a large proportion of water;
the functions of the body • cannot
properly take place except plenthy of
water be supplied; and milk contains
about 87% per cent. water. All this
makes water needful at all times to
the cow giving milk, but in hot
weather there are added reasons why
the cow should have plenty of water,
Tbese hot weather additions to the
water supply of cows are necessary:
1. To assist in cooling the body
When the animal body becomes tot
warm, nature suggests an extra sup
ply of water, which lowers the tem
perature of the body of the animal
making the cow more comfortable
henee she produces mare milk,
