William Pennington, the subject of this sketch, was born in Devonshire, England, in Adgust, 1850. Ho emi- grated to Canada in 1;871 when twen- ty-one years of age, coming at once to this immediate vicinity, and for Several years he was engaged in var- ious, pursuits in the different town- ships ownships around and about Goderich. A little later, in the early eighties, he went to the Soo district, taking up land in the Pickford settlement' and confined himself to farming aid lum- ber -camp work for a number of years, eventually selling out to a brother, and returning again to Can- adian soil, Goderich and vicinity, about twelve years ago. Mr. Penning- ton. was never, married, and, since his return from the Soo, had tirade his hone at various places in and around Goderich, perhaps most particularly with his brother Tacos,, on the Mait- land, Colborne, at whose home he died, The deceased had also made several trips across the great At lantic to his •home land, since his maiden trip to Canada in 11871. Fie had, during the .greater part of his life lease, enjoyed measurably good health, .but, during the latter few years, complications' settled upon hint' that gradually wore his life away and he passed away on April 28th at sixty-five years of age. Mr. .Penning- -ton was a iliac 'of titlist and unassum- ing manner, 'endeavoring always to avoid those phases of life that wran- gle in the lives,of mets,' , In religious inclinations he was Methodist and in politics, Consarvatiue,.

With a fraction of uncertainty : on one Or two points, such possibly as high ;rices for feed, scarcity- of help, the dairy farmer, nevertheless, the whole Dominion oyer is actually en- gaged now in planning for a more abundant sulk harvest than 'ever from his faithful, patient cows. The prudent, far-sighted man has cogitat- ed' nearly all points, such as seed selection, labour-saving imfplements, better stables, more alfalfa, a new silo, abundant water and the best cultivation he can possibly give to the land owned or rented. On many dairy farms, however, one more point needs immediate attention, before the herd owned can truthfully be "said to be on really safe ground. For if the abundant crop or the ex pensive feed purchased is given to a cow, or cows, whose dairy ability is lacking, sadly lacking, some one is bound to receive an unpleasant sur- prise and disillusionment,. If dairy ability means ability" of the cow to turn' feed into good milk at low cost, is it not the step of wisdant t'o make sure that 'each cow on the pre- mises does possess that ability ? Where no cow testing has been practiced a moderate estimate is that three out of twenty cows consume feed valued as high rue the price re- ceived for the milk they yield. Dairy records aim at detecting these, bovine crooks ; but further, a study of re- cords., kept so easily, show the dairy - elan which cows produce' the most milk and fat, and which produce them the cheapest, (for instance 03 or 95 cents per 100 pounds of milk) so any man keeping dairy records is speedily on the home stretch towards the winning post inscribed "each cow pays a good profit." That is safe ground for the dairyman.—C.F.W Invitation to Rev. T. R. Courtice. The following paragraphs from the Grove City,+Penna., Reporter, refers to a son of Mr. and Mrs, A. J, Courtice of Holmesville ' "Rev. T. R. Courtice -has been in- vited to the pastorate of the Grace Methodist Episcopal church, Oil City, as successor to Dr. W. S. Michael, who goes +'o Plymouth church, Buf- falo. Grace is a church of twelve hundred members and is recognized as one of the most aggressive congrega- tions, not of the Franklin District on- ly, but if the Erie conference. The, salary offered is $2500. However, the matter is still under consideration, as Mr. Courtice is loath to leave the Grove- Cityi work, which is most promising."

After four weeks of illness a highly respected resident of Seaforth in the person of Ann Robertson, relict of the late Angus Kennedy of Tucker - smith, passed peacefully away on the 28th ult. at her home in Seaforth in her 88th year. The deceased was •born in the Isle of Skye, Scotland, and Came to this country when a young woman with her husband, who predeceased her 25 years ago, and settled on the Otic eon. of Tuckersmith where she continued to reside until the death of her eldest son, i\eil, eight years ago when she rs removed t v dui +hie is o n and her two tits It s Seaforth Ass.

She is also sur- vived by twenty-sa' cin grandchildren and eleven great graudahildren. The funeral took place on Friday morning from St. Janes', Catholic church, of which deceased was a de- vout member, requiem lliglt Mass being sung by the Rev, Father Cor- coran after which the remains were laid to rest in Seaforth cemetery. The pallbearers were J. Keating, .J. Canning, J, McFadden, II. McMillan, A. McKinnoe, J. Lannan, Selection of Seed Potatoes. Of all the factors in potato grow- ing, selection of seed is by far the most important. Had we bred our Shorthorn cattle as many of cis have been in the habit of selectingand breeding our seed potatoes, we i would now Have no breed of Shorthorns, Tf we used oulya the culls and scrubs to breed from, our breeds of stock would soon run out. It has been careful selection 'anti the application of scien- tific principles of breeding that Inas brought our pure bred live stock up to the present high standard. One reason why potatoes on many farms in this country have degenerated is that culls, screenings and small po- tatoes have been planted. If no method of selection has hith- erto been followed, the seed for this year's crop will have to be taken from the bin. Potatoes which are of medium size, smooth, free from disease and true to the type of the variety being Gown, 'should be select- ed. During the late summer or early autumn when the vines are beginning to die down, the, best and most vig- orous hills should he marked by put - Sing down a small stake or twig. The Ills showing most vigour of vegeta- tion will usually give the best yield of tubers. When the crop is har- vested, any poor, hills' among those marked should, be discarded and the rest, saved for next year's plantiit'S Ono farmer doing illustration. work, I. the. Commission of Conservation plan- ted potatoes thus selected and ordin- ary potatoes side by side. When harvested four rows• from the: selected seed yielded ten bushels per row, while the four rows on either side of, the ordinary seed yielded seven and one half bushels per row. This was a gain in yield of 33 percent, This method of selection does not take much tithe. anti,;,at, repeated ex- periments have shown it to be the means of substantial , increases in yield, it should be more gdnerally practised.—F,.O.N.. • a News -Record Means.

Everyone knows that trade condi- tions and cotinntercial enterprise have suffered a very serious and, unexpected upheaval during the past year. To this situation the war has, -of course, largely contributed ; but other caus- es, including the general financial de- pression throughout 'tire country, have been operative for sonic months past. The agricultural industry has, natur- ally, been very widely affected by these changing conditions and by the varying 'situation with respect to de- mand and supply. '1'lie rise in the price of grain, together with the cor- responding fillip to grain production, represents, without doubt, the most outstanding feature of the direction which has been given to agricultural activity. We need, perhaps alio' a all things else, wane, level judgment in the con - duet of our agricultural affairs dur- ing the coming year. it is to be expected ' that grain production will he largely increased. The raw pro- ducts of the soil are, and will be, in demand at remunerative prices. What then is to be said, what course rs to he followed, with res; eet to the breeding of live stock ? The high price, of feed, onthe one hand, and relatively low prices for maret stock, have resulted in very heavy marketing throughout Canada, particularly in the Western. Provinces, of the s!tocic, suitable for breeding Purposes. Perhaps this was inevit- able, but trill these cantiitions con- tinue ? Feed grain will, without doubt, lie high in price, but it must never be overlooked that the country can maintain very large numbers of live stock on the enormous quantity of rough fodder which it can 'produce. To waste this, for the sake of the grain which can he grown, would, un- der the present circumstance, be criminal neglect, It is clear, then, that the country should conserve its breeding stock. If grain is to be grown for sale it is recommended that plans should be carefully thought out; as to tire manner in which the great- est quantity of rough fodder may be come available for feeding purposes and as to the nufans by which this otherwise waste product, together with the screenings and unsaleable grain, may be utilized to the best possible advantage. In other words eliminate waste. 'Do it by feeding live stock. The present low prices for stock cannot last long. A careful review of the world situation slakes it clear that there will be a shortage next year. Europe is 'becoming seriously depleted; in both breeding- and feed- ing stock, Cl:e 'United States, for teni months of the current year, at its leading markets is short 740,045 cat- tle, 208,000 sheep and 1,894,939 hogs. Canada has, as before stated, heavily liquidated her breeding animals and, while it may possibly maintain its quota next year of cattle and sheep, it is doubtful if more than seventy- five percent. of the number of liege will find their way to market in 1915, as compared with the current year. It is, therefore,.a time for live stock Wren to stay with their trade. The present tendency is, of courrey all the other way. A safe harvest is likely ,to be reaped by those who have stock for sale next Year, Even bank- ers and business sten are of this op- inion. One word of advice is to be given. Avoid marketing so far as it is at all possible to do so during tlio per- iod of October fifteenth to December fifteenth. This is a time of the year when everybody else has stook for sale. It is a period when packers know that they can fill their cellars. with cheap meat. These aro the' months when the surplus of the Whole country finds its way to the packing centres. It is invariably the period of low prices, uncertain markets and disappointing rete •ns to theproduc- ers, g i, p o ers, Breed, .therefore,, to have your stock available for sale at some other time of the year. Take care to provide sufficient winter feed that you ninny not be forced to sell wizen the cold weather comes. Above al'i,, conserve your breeding stock.
