Canada's Chief Veterinary Adviser. The Minister of Agriculture for some time beak has been finding ooneiderable in0onvenien0e in the administration of the Veterinary Branch, owing to the faot tbat the Obief Veterluary Adviser, Dr, Mo1ecbreu, resided ha Montreal and was not required by hie appointment to give his whole time and atte0tio0 to the work of the Department. Many inoidenta have ooaurred of a purely domestic eharaoter within the Dominion, which indicated diffioaltiea in this regard. Lately cue or two questions of greater importance in oonueation with outside matters have arisen. The situation became SO diffioult that the Minister took the question up with Dr. MoEaahren, and name to the oonolaeion tbat it was absolutely neoes- eery for the future efficient working of the branch that tbe Chief Veterinary should reside at head quarters, and de• vote hie whole time and attention to this work as other Government employees am required to do. In consequence of hie oonneotion with the Veterinary College of McGill Univer• eity and the many large enterprises in which be is engaged, Dr. MoEaahren felt he oould not fulfil these 000ditione. He tberetore banded in bis resignation. Whoa aoospting this resienatioo the Mioieter felt tbat recognition was due Dr. MoEaahren for services rendered in the pest. Be therefore appointed him Honorary Adviser to the Dominion Dept. of Agriculture. Dr. J. 0, Rutherford, of Portage le Prairie, who was in the employ of the Dept, during the last season, for the par. pose of testing with tuberculin animate in the United Kingdom for export to Can• ada, has been appoioted to succeed Dr. Mo]Iachreu, as Chief Veterinary Icepea• for for the Dominion, it beingunderstood that he shall make 0,tawa hie headquar- ters, and devote bis whole time and attention to the work of the Dept. Dr, Rutherford's well known reputation as a veterinary, and hie experience in ail pub. lieter a are a efficient m t s r g n ranteee of the e t working of the Dept, under the new arrangement.

The little son• net "Let doge delight to bark and bite, &o." as the opening ode at their gather• inge would be gaits appropriate, Jun= loving Canadians bave reason to be pleased over the appointment of Hon. David Mille to a seat upon the bench of the Supreme Court. Judge Mills bee won hie spurs ae a cenobite tional lawyer, has bad a wide experience both in the Commons and Senate, was one time actively engaged in newepaper work, and has been a zealous Christian worker and should make a capital judge. If it few weeniest of the ermine still on The Eaton County Packing & Cold - storage Co., with headquarters at Clinton, have secured W. R. Belden to take charge of the fivancial end of the Company for the present. The aim with this concern is to ao complieh as much with apples, poultry hnd produce as has already been done in the hog trade with b this exception, it will do business entirely for the benefit of ire_ shareholders, which oan easily be done on the plane they are adopting. Nearly all the apples grown in Huron County the past season were purchased at around $2 00 per barrel. They are in storage in Toronto and oan be eold, and are being sold out daily, at $4 50 per bar• rel. Each year farmers sell their apple orop for one half what it should bring simply because they have no means of keeping them. The Government has provided cold storage for fruit while in tranmt and re- peatedly points oat to farmers the necee• eityfor notion on their part if they wish to receive a fair amount of the profit in growing apples and other produce. In 1900 it is eetimated thee Huron Co. lost in apples alone $100,000 and annually looses a large sum. They oan pteaotioally. insure against suoh loss by owning a storage plant of their own, situated where it can easily be reached. Besides the above a most modern plant is to be ereobed for handling all kinds of poultry, receiving them alive, killing, dressing and aratiug them as the market demands. . • The entire County of Heron will be canvassed and the tributary townships and an opportunity will be given each farmer to identify himself with the non cern. If be deairee $1.00 more per barrel than he now receives this will be his.time to insure for it. It would be well for all farmers to bear in mind the one fact that NONE MIT PATRON&. OF THIS GOoIPANY WILL SECURE THE FELL BENEFIT.
