J. Denman, niter a brief illness of four days. .Sunday, 20th ult., she took a severe chill which turned to pneumonia and heart trouble and although medical aid and a trained nnrse were procured her heart weakened till she paned peaoefully away while sleeping, at 3 15 Friday after- noon. Deceased was a daughter of Robt. Yen, of Tornberry ; was born in the township of Wilmot, and at the age of three years moved with the family to Tornberry. She was married to her bereft husband Feb. 19,1882, With ber haeband she moved to Brussels about two years afterwards where they resided about seven years. Mr. Denman mime gaentiy purchased a farm near Blasvale, to which tbey removed and resided to the time of her death. Deoeaeed led a quiet, nuaseuming life and was noted for her strong atteohment and love to hus- band end children. She joined the Metho dist ahorab several years ago and was a regular attendant when health and sir- domstaoaem permitted. The funeral, Sunday afternoon, was attended by over six houdred people and many failed to obtain entrance into the church, The service was conducted by Rev F. Swann, the text being obosen from Roo. 9 and 10, "Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might ; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom in the grave whither thou goeet," and also John 9 and 4, "I most work the works of Him that aeut me while it is day ; the night cometh when no man can work." Referring to deceased he epoke of hie last visit Thursday evening and her reference to the enorament the following Sunday which ebe would be unable to attend end he alluded to the previous communion when the deceased had ber nhildren partake of the same - went with ber. The remains were en• Mused in a canopy oesket covered with a number of baguets and wreaths from friends and relatives. The husband, family and relatives bave the sympathy of the community in their sad bereave. went but the sweet consolation that it is only a brief epees of time that separates them from their loved onee is theirs. Something New in Silos. Mach has been written in regard to silos and silo building, and numerous plans have been published, but in aotnal experience none of them has proved en- tirely setiefactory. Some are to expen- sive for ordinary farmers, others are cheap, but last only a few yeare. The round stave silo is one of the olteapeet aorta, and if it were not liable to collapse on amount of shrinkage of the staves, and the expansion of the iron hoops, it would be very eatisfaotory. There is now a proepeot of these die• advantages being overoome. A number of farmers in the United States have adopted the plan of using wooden hoops, whioh cannot shrink or lengthen endwise. The inside sheeting is of one inch Georgia pine, whioh seems to be the best kind of lumber for silos, on amount of its non- ehriukable ehal'aoter. It ie so full of pitoh that moisture has practically no effect upon it. This lumber has been rdoently laid down at Ottawa for $27.00 per M,, and at that price should be one of the most economical our farmers oould 0188. The fortndation of this new [tort of silo is in ire wooden hoops, six inohes wide, and made of half snob eim lumber, sprang around a form, and built up with well lapped joints, using a trifle louder noel each time, until the hoop has 8 thxakuoee Inc the three bottom hoops ot five layers. The remaining flue top hoope require only tour layers moll. The average silo will not require More then 600 ftof lumber, and 20 poande of nails, for the hoops which are easily Dead gnioltly made and should not met more than 01,25 eaob, or $10.00 for the lot, This is a good deal less than the cost of bbe usual iron hoope and loge. A. three garnered frame ie erected at the meet outside circumference of the silo, and the hoops planed in position and fastened. The lining of the eilo is then put on, and should be of inoh Georgie pine lumber three inches wide, matohed and nailed to the hoops the same as Glue flooring: When tbe lining is on within twenty incbee of the starting place, stop, and put is 2x4 studding, up and down between tbehoope on eaob side of the door and door etays and jambs. Make the doors of the game lumber as the walls, cutting them in to "joints" on the inside of obs hoops, If the silo is outside the barn, it can be covered with tarred paper, and cheap siding, run both up and down as a pro - Motion against frost. The root and foundation is the same as for any silo, and the outside oovsring could be of any sort the owner wished, or it might go without siding, the same a0 any other tub silo. If proteoted from the weather the wooden hoops should last for years, and if at any time the inside lining be- came "dozy" in might be lined with tarred paper, and then sheeting, thereby making it serviceable again for a number of years at email most. John Gould, the well known Ohio Dairyman and Farmer's Institute looturer, who has Been a number of theta tilos in operation, thinks highly of them. F. W. Ronson, Live Stock Commissioner. EAST HURON LIBERALS. The anuaal meeting of the Liberal Association ot the East Riding of Huron (Provinoial and Domioiou) will be held in the Town Hall, Bruesele, on Tuesday, May 13tb, commencing at 130 o'clock.

P., for East Huron, and Deputy Speaker of the Oummone ; Hon. R. Har- court, Minister of Education, and otbere. A Large attendance from all motions of the 000etitneooy fa expected. Political Notes. Balld up Ontario! Nomination on May 22nd, Election Day, May 29. Dominion Parliament is expeoted to ohne for this session about the 10th or 12th Mete. The Liberals have been in power for 80 years in Ontario, but the real griev atone of the Opposition is that the Con- eervativee have been outside for 80 years. The Nortbweet Legislative Assembly will be dissolved at once and writs will be issued on the 30th inet. Nomination will be held on May 10 and voting May 21. The Goderiah Star says :—The Herons should assist in the swing of victory. Mr. Spotton in the East is a young man full of energy and pbnak, and against great odds will stand by his guns. Candidates Hislop and Spotton are bony with organization and as a oonse• queues no pablio meetings are being held this week. Mr. Hislop will hold meet- ings next week and arrangements may be made for a Series of joint meetings for,the balance of the campaign. The Dominion government is expro- priating forty more aoree in Eequimalt, B. 0. Owing t0 the iuetalbatiou of new batteries on Signal Hill, the houses on the property in question have beoome untenable. The buildings invol. ved include churches, bells, schools and residences. Dont forget the Annual meeting of Eaet Huron Liberals in Town Hall Brussels ou Tuesday, 13th inst., oommenoing at 1.80 o'olook, II addition to A. Hislop, the Liberal oandidate addressee are ex. peoted from Ron. R. Haroourb, Minister of Education, Dr. Macdonald, M. P., Deputy Speaker of the Commons, and abets. Toronto Globe sizes up East Huron ae follows :—In East Haron, A• Hislop, the late member, is again the Liberal condi. date, and even the Oonservetives do not expect to defeat him. They have put np an outsider, Anson Spotton, of Harris - ton, to oppose him, none of the local Opposition snpportere doeiring to ander- take tbe hopeless task. The government of Ontario is a good deal stronger today than it was on the eve of the last general election four years ago. Hon, Mr, Rose and hie aeeoofatee have done good work for the people of the Province in the interval, and the as- sent bye eleetious show that the eleotors are not nnappreoiative of servboee.

Dr, Carman, generaleuperiuteudeub of the Methodist Church, had this to say of the temper. once reoord of the Ontario Goverpment 1 "Ontario bat done well during the last twenty years. To rednne the tioeusee from 6,000 to 8,000, eo that, iaetead of a license for every 300 people, it is now a Hoene for 800 people, ie onooutaging enough to work on." The London Free Frees /Mould put this item in their col. mmne. New Bre, Clinton, remarks :—The temperance question ie being toned into the political arena at this juaotnre. Ta be logical and aooeistent, every temper• anoe advocate should support the govern - men of Mr. Ross. He promises that if he is returned, and the referendum carries, he will introduce a prohibitory law. Mr. Bose hes been n total abababesr ail hie life, Hie government is a temperance government. On the other band Mr. Whitney is not pereonally ill taunt of Prohibition. He ede ublisl he dose not believe in it, and will nothing to secure, nor will he introdnoe it, if eleoted, Phe temp( ranee party baa therefore, nothing to expeot fien ISr, Whitney. Yet peeple are askeob pledge their sup. Port to Whitney oaodldates as temper. Anne men. The position la menifest,y inconsistent. In our opinion Probibibion is all right, but it is not by any means the only Motor that eboutd figure in ref. eronoe boa government. Mr. Greenway's government—a temperance one—was de- feated on this very question, and bow sea the result in Manitoba. The Huron Expositor views it this way :—The Ooneervatives of East Huron have ab length A oandidate. Their ohoioe has fallen on Anson Spotton, barrister, of Hurrieton. It will time be seen that the Emit Huronitea have had to borrow a candidate from Wellington county. Who or what be is we do not know, but the electors wit' likely have en opportunity ot geeing and hearing him before election day. East Huron may be counted eolid for the Ross Groverument. There ars many local men who would have nude good candidates; mime of them shoe d have had plrok enough to give Mr. Rte - lop a tussle, if for nothing better than appearance Bake. The Hurrieton Tribune of last week speaks of ire townsman ae followe :— Barrister Anson Bpotton, B. A., of our town, bas been nominated as the Oon• ecrvative candidate in East Enron, where hie native home is and where he holds ooneiderahie property, There is only one regret in hie candidature, and that is that Mr. Spotton is too good a man to be maorifleed. . Barrister Anson Spat. ton, B. A., President of the Coneervatfve Aseooiation of Harrieton, having been nominated as the Conservative Candidate to contest the Provincial elec. tion in East Huron, it is interesting to know his stand on Prubibition, Be le what might be called on thefenoe. Speak. ing of the Prohibition Bill be was non- committal. He said that "the Bill should satiety all advocates of Prohibition. Ike submittal will be a fair test of public feeling, and the Bill should carry, se it will nnieee its leading advocates rant too muob about it, and thus antagonise those persons holding mora moderate opinicne." Later, Mr. Spotton said be was eonvinoed that very "ranting" had occurred, and that he is going to vote against Prohibi- tion. Ha has not yet, however, made a public avowal of his intentions with re. gad to the Bili slum he entered the field. No doubt he will before long. Go in and win if you can, Anson. Yon have a big snow bank to book against, but you do not lack pluck and determination. Perth County.
