McLeod,who for the past few years was farming near Reston, Man., returned to his former home on the 4th con of Kinloss. Mr. McLeod was well pleased with business conditions in Man- toba, and came back to Ontario only because of the advanced age of his par- ents who live on the Kinloss homestead. When he left Reston on Monday of last week, Mr. McLeod says there was pract- ically no evidence of a spring breakup, and it looked as if the season would be a little late, The spring emigration in. to the West seems greater than ever be- fore. WESTVIELf. David Ramsay, our postmaster, mer- chant and blacksmith who has been a lifelong resident of this place, having sold his property here removed his fam- ly and household effects to Blyth last week. Mr. and Mrs. Ramsay were es- teemed residents of this place and it is with sorrow that we say goodbye. The people of this community wish them health, happiness and prosperity. On ac - mint of the removal of Mr. Ramsay the Westfield postoffie, which was es- tablished here over sixty years ago, has been taken two miles east, to Mr. Horney's. • • • • • • • • • • ••• • • • • • • • • +♦ • • • • • • • 4 • • • • e HOUSE OF s HONER IN • BIW ITLO • • • •i • • • • • • • • • • s • • •• • • ••• GREY.

A RELIABLE MEDICINE FOR YOUNG CHILDREN Baby's Own Tablets are a safe medi- eine for all little ones.

During the exceptionally dry season of 1911 land that was underdrained produced on the average about $10.50 more per acre than land that was not drained, according to physics at the Ontario Agricultural College. Reports were received from a large number of farmers, of whom 25 were able to give definite figures on yields on drained and undrained land. Three .:of the number said they saw no difference, but all the others reported increases. Eleven counties were represented in the the reports, from Durham, in the East to Essex in the West. The values of increases, including straw, was figured at October, 1911, prices and March, 1912, prices. The former showed an average of $15.97:per acre, and the latter $17.04, and both together an average of $16.60. The three who re- ported no increase were counted in ob- taining the averages. It wet seasons the results are even more marked, but even at $16.50 per acre, drains more than pay for them- selves in two years. The 0, A. C. is again renewing;,its offer of assistance to farmers in lay- ing out their drainage systems. The department of physics has a special staff of drainage advisers for this work. There is no charge for the ser- vices of these men, the only outlay to the farmer being the travelling expen- ses, which are low. As the railway fare is only one cent a mile for this work, and as several surveys are always made on one trip the expenses are divided among the several parties concerned. Anyone wishing to have a drainage survey made should drop a card to the department of physics, 0. A. C., Guelph, whereupon regular ap- plication form will be sent, and later on the department's drainage advisers will make the survey. Legal Questions. J. G. H., Whitechurch. - Qu. -A hired B, a youth of seventeen, to work around the farm. In attending to the horses the boy used a wheelbarrow in cleaning out the stables, The wheel- barrow was left in the passage and one of the horses (not being tied) bolted out and jumped on the wheelbarrow and was killed. The boy was told to tie the horses once. Is the boy liable for the value of the horse, or is his father liable? Ans. -The boy's father could not be held liable in any case, and the boy is not liable under the circumstances men- tioned. A father is not responsible for the negligent acts of his child, He cannot be held liable, even for the cri- minal acts of his child unless he knew that child had a propensity for committing such illegal acts. and could have pre- vented it. The boy should have been told always to tie the horses before cleaning out the stables. MORRIS. James Bowman, M. P., is home from Ottawa the House having prorogued. H. B. Kirkby, 7th line, sold a valu- able filly colt, 10 months old, to Garner Nicholson, Belgrave, for the fancy sum of $200. MY. Nicholson is a well known horse fancier and knows a good thing when he sees it This week Harvey Beam and family, 7th line, moved to the West, where they have taken up land and purpose making their home. Mr. Beam sold his 100 acres here to Alfred Baeker, of Brussels. We regret the going away of this family but wish them the suc- cess their industry and endeaeor entitle them to. Many old friends here will be glad to know of their prosperity. Mr. Beam has resided in Brussels and Morris for many years. Report of S. S. No. 7. examinations. Sr. IV. -S. Proctor, J. Kerr, M.
