The Hog Motor - Grinding their own Feed
Fainters of \\'(stern Olrlada Iu1Q
the Uiter Mtn It's have the past

known as the 11og Motor for grbltiing
grain and at the sante time feeding

used it idle past year claire) a saving

eliminated the objectionable features
of hog raising. By its use the fa mer
is saved touch time and expense in
having the grain ground,' besides the
work three times per day mixing chop
and water or swill to feed the hogs.
The hog by rooting the mill causes
it to revc,lve thus grinding out shier
own feed, dry and eating when they
desire it but very slowly, more after
the fashion of gleaning grain from
w h eat stubble.
The motor holds about four bushels
but may be kept fee] by having a bin
over the hog pen aud.with a spout to
carry grain to the mill. Hogs are
kept fed without any further trouble
or as long as therre is grain in the bin.
Whilst the mill will grind flue chop,
users do not consider it advisable to
feed it other than fairly coarse owing
to pigs being fed slowly and with dry
grain, the result being au entire ab-
sence of stomach troubles in their
herds of bogs.
T. R. Bennett, of the North boun-
dary Grey, has become interested in
the mill and tells ns he intends inves-
tigating its merits at the Guelph Fat
Stock Show with a view to introduc-
ing it in 1101oil 0011063,, where he
believes farmers need itjust as much
es the hog raiser' on the prairie. In
fact if it will relieve the labor problem
ever so little it will be worth trying

TERMINATED
A large and sympathetic audience
assembled in Knox church. Oran -
brook, Tuesday evening Dec. 3rd, at
8 o'clock. Wm. Cameron an-
uo0nced that the Meeting was called
for two reasons namely, in the 1st
place to have a pleasant and social
time together but, chiefly to pay a last
tribute of respect ars a congregation
to the McRae family who are remov-
ing to Arrnow, Bence Oo. After de-
votional exercises Rev. and Mrs. Mc-
Rae were asked to come to the front
and the.. following address was read
by 1VIr. Cameron :-
DEAR MR, MCRA1l.- Among all
the associations that adorn our social
and religions life there is no relation
closer than that of a minister to his
congtegaLion. It is like that of a
HP
he held to his flock, Where these
associations are about to be severed
3
nothing produces in us so great a
measure of pain and sorrow, It is
our fate to experience such feelings
Weight. Oui' relation as minister and
oo)gt'egation have been so pleaealit
and have continued for eel long a time
that we ctrl scarcely realize that they
are about to end, If the severing of
these ties cannot even be thought of
without feelitags of emotion, what
feelings of regret and s0trow must
the actual experience of it call forth ?
'Though these Material Lies may be
bl•okeu, though you may be removed
from us, though you may behold in
theplace so long and so worthily 00-
eimied by you another of the Master's
servants, that }nacre is still yours.
ill united with us byties
You ar0.at
that can never be broken or destroy-
ed, ynxt are associated with nearly all,
of the most important events of our
lives, and tate rllernoey of you will re-
main with sus to the end of our
existence, 'P01 havebeen as-
sociated in our Minds with our.
Hester, impeessious of thinge
i e and holy you have 11 ed
Divine , y leaned
with us in the solemn ceremony anti
joyful festival that matdted the be-
ginhing of many of our homes ; yen
have been present with ala i the
hour of tribulation and trial and your,
words of empathy and eotisolation
have soothed ns in times of sorrow
and bereavement when our loved ones
have been called away tri that rest
hprepared byour Good Shepherd who
aslgone bfore to welcotn all who
love Him. Our rnet1Otry of these
scenes will be forever associated with
you and will bind tis together with
bonds that can never be severed be-
cause they are immortal and eternal.
These ties will make us feel that you
still belong to us. We would not
have it otherwise and we would like
you to be consoled ith this assur-
ance
w
nce that your memory will ever be
most jealously guarded among our
most cherished recollections. We
now ask you to accept this purse as a
token, in some tangible form, of our
love and esteem assuring you that
it is accompanied by the sincere love
and regard of a grateful people to abe-
loved pastor, which feelings we know
full well cannot be valued in silver 01
gold or represented in material form
by any earthly image.
DEAR MRs. 1VIcRAE.- On behalf of
the Women's Foreign Missionary
Society we ask you to accept Ibis
"Book of Praise" as a slight token \•'lf
the esteem in which you are held b\
your fellow -workers in the Society,
your kindly counsel and sympathetic
assistance will be greatly missed by
us in our work, We sincerely trust
that your retnembrance of our past
associations will be as pleasant and
happy as ours will be and that the
good work in which we all have been
and will still be engaged, may go on
and increase in results. That the
grace of our Lord and Saviour may
ever continue to comfort and bless
you both is our earnest prayer, We
wish you both health, prosperity and
happiness in your future home trust-

of meeting you often again herebelow

wholesome advice to the people wish-

HURON COUNTY OLD BUYS
A warning against any relaxation
of the marriage tie and less stringent
divorce laws, as certain to ve a
baneful effect on national morality
and family life, was given by W.
D. McPherson, M. P. P., Friday night
at the twelfth annual meeting of the
Huron Old Boys' Association in the
Queen's Hotel, Toronto. The speaker
emphasized the gravity of the divorce
problem and deprecated the existence
of lax legislation in many of the
Statest o the South. In Canada
divorce was increasing and both
Government and people should take
steps to counteract a tendency, whose
results could only be harmful.
Speaking on "Canada," Mr. Mc-
Pherson also urged the ' removal of
the naval issue from polities and
united e ortin non-parti-
san
securing anon- pa.
san and statesmanlike solution which
would do credit to the Dominion.
Any gift that Canada could make to
the Empire would be paltry and in-
adequate he said, to the great trust
placed in Canadians by the British
Crown and the people of Great
Britain. In conclusion, Mr. Mc-
Pherson refereed to the influx of
foreign peoples into Canada, and
pointed cot the necessity of education
in order to slake of thein loyal and
useful Canadian citizens.
While J. S. Willison was giving
some reminiscenses of former days
in Huron County, L. Whitely was.
called to the telephone and immediate-
ly made the shocking announcement
"You will excuse me gentlemen, for 1
must leave. Sly two uncles Captain
Albert Nicholson and John Freestone
have been drowned at Port Huron."
H. Olucas, the President elect ex-
pressed the deep regret of the asso-
ciation and its syrnpathy with the
bereaved member.
