When Mr. Murray came downstairs and opened the door into the kitchen the smoke and flames drove him back, it being impossible to even 'close the door, and the flames then spread through the main part of the house. Mrs. Murray and little child escaped with just their night clothes, and Mr, Murray did not pave even his coat. Mr. C, Hetherington was the first of the neighbors to appear on the scene and with James Murray who came shortly after succeeded in removing the furniture from the parlor and the spare bedroom. Everything else was consumed and of what was a substantial house only part of the brick walls now remain. There was an in- surance of $1150 on the house and con- tents. SEAV OBT H.

BLiTEVA.LL On Saturday last the Wingham Junc- tion Hockey Team journeyed to Blue - vale for a friendly game with Bluevale "Sky -Scrapers." They arrived here about 1.30 p. m. and found the ice cov- ered with two feet of snow. In a short time they managed to secure a few shovels and by three. o'clock there was a small piece of ice ready for action. At 3.15 the game was called and soon the puck chasers were hard at work. Ait- cheson, the Bluevale Cyclone, made a rush on the Junction net but the Judge stopped him and shot the puck to Hen- derson who managed to put it in between the goal -keeper's legs; Bluevale then saw that they would have to dig in. Inside of a minute Fowler gave a rush at the goal and knocked both puck and goal- keeper into a snow bank behind. At half time the score was 7-1. But Blue - vale went at it harder than ever. Ait- cheson, the cyclone, passed the puck to Taylor, the Bluevale whirlwind who made a rush, but Magee was used to whirlwinds and gave him a dump into the snow. Elliott then got the puck and shot at Bluevale net from the wing. Stewart, the Bluevale loafer let it w.hizz past his ear, knocking a small portion of the skin off. .Bluevale tried hard to score on the little Junction goal -keeper but "Little Peter" could stop most of them. When the game was over the score was 13-2 in favour of the Junc- tion Eskimoes, LINE UP Junction Bluevale W. Anderson goal W. Stewart W. Magee point L. Elliott P. Martin c. point C. McDonald C.

E. McCartney in the National Stockman, If sown early in a soil that has been handled so as to conserve the moisture it will make considerable feed before the A North Dakota farmer In ex- pressing his reasons for preferring the Duroc-Jersey breed of bogs says: "In the first place, they are more prolific than other breeds and always produce splendid litters. They are splendid mothers and take good caro of the little ones. With fairly good care and good quarters they very seldom raise less than all the pigs farrowed. With good feed they grow rapidly and attain maturity in as short a time as any other breed. They put on flesh rap- idly," The illustration shows a like- ness of Bell's Col, the junior year- ling boar at the head of the Duroc- Jersey herd of J. S. Jenks of Fair- field, Ia. bard freezes come. Rye pasture will be green and palatable long after all the regular pastures have turned brown and are frozen up for the win- ter. A. few weeks of late pasture will do much to increase the thrift of the stock grazed upon it and to take it through the winter In good condition. Sows and fall pigs will revel in rye. There is no other feed that can be provided in late fall that will so stimu- late milk Sow as will good rye forage. Lack of green feed is often the cause of fall pigs being less growthy than those of the spring crop. Rye fur- nishes just what is needed to keep those pigs healthy and make rapid and economical growth. The earlier rye is sown, provided weather conditions are right, the more fall feed will be provided. Last year we sowed a patch in August. The ground was quite dry at the time of the seeding, but rains came, and the field made a heavy growth that fall. Sown any time in late August or early September a wonderful green mat will be formed in a comparatively short time if moisture is available. A bushel per acre sown with a press drill is the most satisfactory way of putting it in. Rye will come out early in the spring and be the first cif all crops ready for pasturing. Thus it will furnish a big relief from the months of dry feed of winter. Especially will it be a boon to the brood sows and their promising litters. A Rule For Feeding Cows. The standard method is to feed as many pounds of grain per day to each cow as she produces pounds of butter fat per week, or one-fourth to one- third as much grain as she gives pounds of milk daily. No two cows can be fed exactly alike. Each must receive individual attention according to her requirements. A general grain mixture may be used, however, which will meet the needs of most of the cows in the herd. The amount of this mixture to be given may then be varied according to the production of the cow:' High producers need mora protein than cows producing only small amounts of milk and butter fat. The amount of feed used by cows depends also upon their body weight, larger cows requiring more feed for mainte- nance. Sheep as Weed Destroyers. Every farm should keep a few sheep r -`-say twenty—on a quarter section. They are not only profitable from a wool and mutton standpoint, but as destroyers of weeds alone are well worth their keep. Turned into the wheat and oats stubble during the fall, they will eat many weeds and weed seeds. They will also thrash out and tramp into the ground many weed seeds, causing them to germinate suf- ficiently to be killed by the frosts. Much festal' and other weeds often come to maturity after harvest in the stubble fields, and this can be prevent- ed by pasturing of sheep or other stock. The successful lighting of weeds does not mean hoeing and plow- ing from early morn until late evening. Government Hog Tonic. The United States department of ag- riculture recommends the following mixture as an excellent hog tonic: "Wood charcoal. one pound; sulphur sodium bicarbonate, ttfo pounds: so- dium byposulphate, two pounds; so- dium sulphate, one pound; antimony sulphide, one pound." These sub- stances are thoroughly powdered and mixed. A dose is a large tablespoon- ful for each 200 pounds of hog tlestl. It is most conveniently given in a thin slop. Quality In Milk. With dairying, ns with other lines of farming. the dairyman should famil- iarize himself as much as possible with every fact which can be brought to bear upon the quality of this product. Look to the Barnyard. 'tinny linruynrds are refrigerators to winter and resrtpeois in .summer, and yet in;ltli;;ent farmer: expect good dairy results from letting cows stand around in them. • MgAAAAAA+AeSAAAAAAAAINAAAAAA ek/.APuP.AAei44,e1.0*.hAorsoN0 •840 r, n.,wa►N A jf] JANUARY CLEAN-UP SALE RD'S 1 OF ALL KINDS OF I Ready - To- Wear Clothing Fur Coats, Fur -Lined Coats c At PRICES that will make Business Hum GREAT MONEY SAVING EVENT c____,___ Ladies', Misses' and Children's Coats Greatly Reduced 1 1 A number of Ghildren's Coats to clear at $2.95 ) Girls' Heavy Winter Coats, special cut price $4.50 Women's Tailor-made Coats, best styles, new cloths, s and colors and tweed effects.

Short prayers often last longest. Friends do not freeze to a frozen heart. Easy times often account for hard habits. Nothing is really sacred until all things are. Big plans do not balance small per- formances. Short cuts to fortune are often bot- tomless cuts. If wishes were wings good work would soon cease. That soul is truly lost that gathers darkness of the light. No man ever saw his Father by climb- ing over his brother. Your rank among men depends on how you help them to rise. The faint hearted are those who thinkon 1 i ofthemselves. feeding g maser e vest Many think they are going forward bravely because they fear to go back. There is sorrow without selfishness but never selfishness without sorrow. —Turners' Falls Reporter.
