(Saturday'.: London Advertieem Fall wheat came through the win- ter in generally excellent condition In Huron county, but the frosts and cold winds of early April set it back considerably. "There Is little heav- ing, however, aril favorable weather would still improve it a great deal," Agricultural Representative G. R. Paterson of Clinton told The Adyer- ther tide week.

Huron enjoys the reputation of supplying a largo number of good 'bacon type market hogs. The per- centage of Meets was high when grading started in 1922 and with a record of 1,5% in 1927 stands very near the top for quality of any of the Ontario counties, This year the low erice of 'hogs has 0005101 a number of the large producers to eie- duee their stock to an appreciable extent. On the other hand, some :tt lead are making little change Huron 14 not the sheep raising' county which it once was. "The sheep population has decreased to 25% of what it was in 1000," Mr. Patterson reports, "There is quite o lot of Interest in sheep raising, however, and indications point to an improvement both in quantity and onality. This year's lamb crop is irsat,pointinz in .one cases, with mnny lambs lacking vitality owing no doubt to a large extent to winter miemanagement. Several of the oleer establiehed producers have re- ported excellent results this spring." Poultry raising is an important item. Meeks have increased in eize 100 per rent in 25 yearand now the numbers stand second only to Mid- dlesex. "It is interesting to note that with 0 capital inveetnikint .of one sixteeeth the total investment in lht eteck and poultry, poultry pro- duct ,. have netted approximately one (emeter of the total live stock re- venue in the last few years," re - mucked Mr. Patterson.

TA PER1NG WITH MAKET MILK Booth, head of It is no longer possible to adulter- ate milk with water or to remove a part of the cream without the risk of detection. Institutions that handle milk for marketing, butter making or- cheese making, are constant- ly making tests to ascertain the pill:- ity and condition of the product. Bulletin No, 14, New Series, of the Department of Agriculture at Ot- tawa, fully explains the process of testing milk, cream and dairy by- products by means of the Babcock tests and tells how adulteration, skimming and other tampering with the milk may be ddtected. 12 part of the cream is removed the milk contain a less than usual proportion of fat. The milk will also have a higher specific gravity because fat is the lightest part of the • milk. Roughly speaking., for each one per cent. of fat removed by skimming, the lactometer reading of the part- ially skimmed milk would be in - 11844:0 by about one degree. The tiee e2 the lactometer is fully ex- lila:tied in the bulletin. As an ex- ample the bulletin cites the case of 1 nor cent milk that has a lactometer reading of 512. When one per cent of the fat or cream is removed, the lactometer reading will be increased to about 38. Further it is shown that if the lactometer reading in- creases one degree with each one per cent of fat removed :hy skimming, • the per cent of solids not fat would not be affected. In actual practice it is usually. found that partially skimming milk slightly increases the per cent of solids not fat. Skimming milk, therefore, reduces the per cent of fat and increases the lactometer readi lie leaving the per cent of solids not fat normal or slightly high. If, on the other hand, instead of remov- ing some of the fat, water is added to the milk, this is also easily detect - ti both by testing for fat end by determining the specific gravity of the product. If a sample of milk shows a lactometer roadhur of 82, one gallon of such milk will weigh 0.112 eeends as against 10 pounde, ti. 0 IV !1'.11t. of a gallon of water. If role gallon of this milk is mixed with it gallon of water we would have 2 pounds which would be the combined weight of a gallon of milk eel a .eallon 02 water. One-half of ale quantity, therefore, would weigh only 10.113, pounde whkh would be shown as 16 on the lade - meter. - If the milk in question contained 4',4. of 'fat with a lactometer reading of 32 the percentage of solids other , than fat would'he nine and mixing a gallon of water with a gallon of such milk would reduce the fat to 2% and ; the solids nee fat to 9(1 . From this it will he seen that adding water to milk reduces the percentage of fat, lowers the lactometer reading and the percentage of solids not fat, all three being reduced in equal pro- ' portions. This bulletin,- which is ob- tainable from the Publications Branch of the Department of Agri- culture et Ottawa, explains not only testing of milk for all purposes but ae well the testing of butter and cheese The museum of Naples has a pen noint of bronze taken from the =ins of Pompeii, which was destroyed in 71) A.D.

Before House Next Year Based on Ottawa Probe, Toronto, April 20—W. E. N. Sin- clair, Liberal leader in the Legisla- ture, demands a special seseion of the House to enact the recommenda- tions of the Royal Commiesion in the South Ottawa bailee case, Gives Reasons. There are two by-elections pend- ing, he pointed out, and possibility of two more, and the Election Act ought to be amended en accordance Mr. W. E. N. Sinclair with the findings of the judges be- fore any of these, let alone a gen- eral election, takes place. Mr. Sinclair's comment upon the South Ottawa affair was given at length before a gathering of the Toronto Men's Liberal Association and the ward Liberal associations of the city, at a dinner in his honor, held at the Ontario Club hut even- ing. Indication that the Liberal leader has no very great expectation of a special session was carried in n statement that if the government did not introduce the destred amend - mints at the next session the Oppo- sition would do so. Mr. Sinclak. pointed out that some of the precautions now advised were statutory prior to 1908, when the Whitney government eliminated cer- tain clauses of the act. "What I would ask tonight," he said, "is, 'Will the government put the law back where it wits and com- pel all the ballots to be returned to the clerk of the crown in chancery by statute?" And I would ask, "Will the government change the law to what it was prior to 1 908 and have the sheriff or registrar of deed be permanent returning officers in each riding of the province?" If they do not act at once in the matter and carry out the recommendations of the commission the people will be justified in thinking there is a rea- son in the minds of the government when they prefer not to return to the law which made elections safe."

Ferguson Sees Differently "The suggestion that there .should be a special session of the Legisla- ture is on a par with Mr. Sinclair's attempt to fasten some improper practices on the government," com- mented Premier Ferguson, when ae- quaineed with the Liberal leader's remarks upon the South Ottawa bal- lot case last evening. "It- is quite obvious," he said, "that Mr. Sinclair feels keenly the fact that what he started out to call a crime has turned out to be a `dud'. It was quite obvious that he endeav- ored to create some partisan feel- ing over the incident that he launch- ed on the House. Ile endeavored to do that ia his speech in the House and endeavored to do it before tho. pile -lieges and elections committee and handed it over to an independent judicial commission so khat there could be a fair, non-partisan report. No Offence. "They found that nobody commit- ted any offence. Returning °dicer Scott evidently thought he had re- turned all the material, but did not do so, They say he was guilty of carelessnese in not returning the un- wed paper and unused .ballots. They find there was no improperity on the part of any official and nothing that could in any way affect the election, Their suggestion ie that the clerk of the crown in chancery should here- nftee open the boxes containing un - weed material to see that it has been returned." In reference to predictions at the Liberal banquet of an early provin- cial election and victory to the Lib- eral party "closer than we think," the prime min!, ter observed plette- antly that Mr. Hay and Mr. Sinclair hail both proved indifferentelection prophets in the past.

On Kitchener' s Favourite Charger "VIDNAPPED" aboard the old AN. Elder -Dempster liner Mount Royal when the ship was com- mandeered by His Majesty's forces as a horse transport, during the Boer War, a boy of ten spent two glorious years on the high seas. The boy is now Frank Daly, District Passenger Agent of the Canadian Pacific Railway at Van- couver, 13.C., and his adventure was recalled by old photographs recently unearthed in England. Memories of Kitchener and of the Boer War are recalled by the discovery of the photographs. The snap -hot ola the centershows Mr. Daly at the age of ten years 071 the back of Haeliener's favourite charger. This was taken on board the S.S. "Mount Royal" of the Eldereteimpster Line at Cape Town, South Africa, during the Boar War, when the vessel was requisitioned by the Government for the transport of horses. The oval on the left shows the boy on the bridge of the ship, Captain James A. Murry, cap- tain of the ship, is seen holding the horse's head. He was later Coin- modore-Captain of the "Empress of Britain", and other steamships of the Canadian Pacific fleet, after the Elder Dempster Line was taken over by them. Be was killed in the great Halifax explosion during the Great Wer. The Boer War involved exciting adventures for the ten year old boy. He was on board as guest of the captain at the time the war broke out, arul the vessel was im- pressed into Government service as a horse transport. They sailed for Cape Town with a load of horses, expecting to return to Liverpool and the regular run 59 ii111111111111,1 between the British Isles and Canadian ports, alter discharging their cargo. The boat was ordered off elsewhere, however, and not until a year and a half had elapsed did the lad return to his home, by that time a seasoned mariner. On one occasion during the time they were on war service, the men went on strike, and the "IVIount Royal" put into Barbados, where the whole crew were placed under arrest, and a black one temporarily substituted, The change was worse thanbefore, however, and the remainder of that voyage to New Orleans was made at a pace of not over six miles per hour. Mr. Daly has been with the Canadian Pacific Railway twenty- two years, over twenty years of which he has spent in 'Vancouver.
