COW I-tAS THREE CALVES
Mr. 3. T. McKnight of the London
road has something of a curiosity on
his farm in the shape of a cow with
;healthy triplet calves."The mother
was running in the wooded pasture
and a week ago Sunday she was found
with a nice healthy calf at her side.
A few days later, on looking her up,
a second calf 'was located and on Sun-
day last on going out to see how the
mother and- twins were getting on,
Mr. McKnight was astonished to find
bossy very busy looking after three
fine calves. : The birth of twin calves
is not so uncommon, though seldom do
both calves live. But the birth of
triplets is more uncommon . and the
birth of three healthy calves which
give every 'indication that they, will
live and thrive as somewhat rare. The
mdther is a Polled Angus grade and
is not yet four years old, although
she is the mother of four calves, a
profitable animal, surely.
HURON PR) lSBYTERL MEETS
The annual conference of the Hur-
on Presbyterial Women's Missionary
Society was held in Caven church,
Exeter, on Tuesday, September 9tii,
In spite of inclement weather the
attendance was good and interest
throughout both morning and after-
noon sessions was well sustained, The
Exeter ladies were delightful hostes-
ses and in every way possible made
the day pleasant for the delegates.
At the morning session the devo-
tional exercises were conducted by
members of the Kirlcto a Auxiliary.
Mrs, Foote sang very sweetly "0,
Master let me walls with Thee." Miss
H. I. Graham• gave e concise and in-
terestiog report of the year's work
as contained in the minutes of the
annual
business
meeting. .

Dunlop, treasurer, gave very interest-
ing statistics which would indicate
that this year's finances will be sat-
isfactory. Mrs, Fair, Supply Sec-
retary, reported that the bales of clo-
thing were splendid in -both quantity
and quality. Mrs. Dunlap gave an•
interesting report of the 'Provincial
meeting in Hamilton. Mrs. 'Lundy
told of the Mission Band Rally held at
Ifippea in July, the meeting WAS
then adjourned for dinner",
The afternoon session was opened
with devotional exercises conducted
by members of Goderich Auxiliary.
3iev. Mr. Mcliermid brought very
cordial greetings front Presbytery;
also an invitation to send a represen-
tative to address a Conference of Her-
on Presbytery to lee held in Clinton
on Septeiivber 18th, to deal with the
question of church finances, espeeial-
i
Y as relating to the present deficit,
and at which the Moderator of As-
sembly arid the assistant secretary Of
Foreign Missions are to speak.
This being jubilee year. in the W.
,111,$. it was appropriate that the past
should be reviewed. In the roll call
of auxiliaries many interesting facts
relating to the organization and early
activities of the difi'ereet auxiliaries
were recalled, As name after name
of those noble pioneer women who
have gone "the sunset road!' was men
tioned in loving appreciation, those
present could almost feel the hovering
presences of those "in glory" and in-
wardly resolved that they, too, will, to
the utmost of their ability, follow the
;;;aster's instruction "Go ye into all
the world and preach the Gospel to
every creature."
Mrs, Hamilton and IaIess. Larkin,
past presidents, recalled interesting
events which took place during 'their
years of office. Mrs, Shaw and Mrs.
Kelly, also past presidents, sent in-
spiring messages which were appre-
ciated by the Presbyterial. 'a
Mrs, McCrae of London, told, hi a
delightful way, of the exactness, . and
seriousness and dignity which were
eharaeteristfc of the early days in
WM.'S. work. She .told of the ob-
stacles which had to be overcome and
the difficulties whieh had to be faced
in those days and confidently expects
the
members of the' e W.M.S
. of the
reser
p t day to •measure: up to the
crlsi5 facing thein in this qday.
Mrs, Morgan sang. a pinch appre-
elated solo. Dr. Fieteher•, the. be-
loved "Father of the Presbytery"
very ' beautifully .gave the closing
words, 'praising the confidence with
'which W.M.S. members undertook
their work and the efficiency to, which
they attained in that worlc, and pay-
ing high tribute to the influence ex-
erted by

HONEY SHORT CROP
In this: year of'; plenty,when `
the
barns' are filled to overflowing,•there
is one crop which isenot up to the
nark. That is°honey. ,The early.
summer was cold and wet and not
only prevented the gathering of honey
but retarded the ;maturity of the,
broods and kept 10 ;colonies weak,
-Honey is'a shoat, erep. ' -Messrs.
Wette, Cudmore and . Scribbins, who
are the largest bee owners in Clinton,
say that they' will not have ,half a
yield, although they: were informed by
the inspector who °visited their apia
a few weeks ago, that they were much
better off than bee -keepers south of
us. In some apiaries the bees have
not enough honey to winter on.
Spine foul brood was discovered
here, too, but prompt action was ta-
ken and it hes, been gotten rid of.
CROPS GOOD IN HURON '
At our request Mr. 8. B. Stothers,
District Representative for Huron
county, has written -a crop summary
for this ,county, which will be found
on another page of this issue. This
sutirming up of the crops of the dis-
trict may be considered pretty authen-
tie, as the work mf one who knows
what he is talking about, •and it makes
encouraging reading.' That the crops
are so' good, considering the lateness
of the sowing in some eases and the
eooI ammuer, refieete credit upon the
diligence of the farmbrs in getting
their seed in as early as they did in
the spring and, in watebing for fav-
orable opportunities for cutting and
storing. But, after all, the bouintie
ful harvest in mostly due to the good-
ness of Providence in producing fav-
orable conditions for its growth in
Spite of unfavorable indications. On-
tario, at least this liortion of it, has
much to be thankful ±Or this season•in
its splendid harvest..
Mr. Stothers calls attention to the
spread of weeds. .•This is'a hatter
which should receive attention,
