George Ro- bertson, President, occupied the chair. Mr. McMillan, of Owen Sound, was present and gave a very practical ad- dress occupying 114 hours on the ques- tion of patronizing butter factories. An animated discussion followedand the conclusion arrived at was that the creamery was a good institution for the live farmer to do business with. The next meeting on May 21st, will have as the topic for consideration "Roots and hoed crops." It is expected that a speaker will be secured who will deal with the question from a scientific and practical standpoint but in the mean- time the members of the Club should be gleaning all the information possible on the subject. The Farmers' Club is a good organization and those who have not yet joined should do so. t* • 0 • O • • • • 0 • • • 4 0 • 0 0 • • CLINTON. Thomas Gibbings, a farmer living near Clinton, was badly injured when as he was out on the land operating a big roller, the seat broke, and falling backward pulled the horses hack. Only the seat raising up one side of the roller saved him from being killed. As it was the doctor had to put fifteen stitches in his forehead. Gibbings was also hurt about the ribs, though none were broken. He got up and rod•' the horses half a mile to the stable and then waked to his brother's house to telephone for the doctor.

A reception in the evening was largely attended by the young people and dancing and other amusements were indulged in to a late hour. That Mr. and Mrs. Wheeler have a warm place in the hearts of a large circle of friends was easily seen by the array of presents, including a most beautiful mantle clock from the members of Knox church choir, of which the bride was a valued member and upwards of $200 in cash. Groom presented his sister and the flower girl with a ring and necklace respectively. The young couple will leave shortly for their new home in Vancouver.

The ageu couple were married in Toronto, on April 20th, 1852, by the Rev. Mr. Bar- clay. They commenced life together in the township of Scarboro just east of Toronto. In the year 1854 they settled on the 13th con. of this township and lived there until seven years ago when they retired from the burden- some work of the farm. They bore the brunt of pioneer life in the forests of Howick and did their full share to- wards making the township what it is to -day. They were blessed with a family of sixteen children of whom thirteen aro living but they are scat- tered too widely here and there throughout the country to permit them all to be present. However a consid- erable number of them as well as of the forty grand -children and of the twenty-five great -grand -children with their friends met at the home on Sat- urday evening. At the request of the family the Rev. S. Young, of Clifford, read the address, following which a pleasant evening was spent.

In 1911, the total consumption of coal in Canada amounted to about 24,- 400,000 tons, made tip as follows: 9,800,- 000 tons of coal produced in Canada and 14,600,000 tons of imported coal. Ac- cording to the figures Canada produces only 40.2 per cent. of the coal which it consumes. It must be noted, however, that if all the coal mined in Canada had been used in the country, it would have constituted over 46.2 per cent. of the consumption. The consumption of coal in Canada has increased from 3,- 480,111 tons in 1886, tO 24,400,000 tons in 1910. During the same period the coal consumption per capita has in- creased from 0.758 tons to 3.389 tons. Itis undertsood that the Canadian and United States Governments have arriv- ed at an aggreement regarding the fish- eries, on points left open by the Hague award. The bodies of C. M. Hays, Col. Astor Isidor Straus, George Graham and Al- lison of Montreal and other were ident- ified among the bodies recovered from the scene of the Titanic disaster.
