Asthma usually attacks at night, the one when rest is needed most, Hence the loss of: str$ngth, the nervous debility, the loss of flesh and other evils which must be expected unless relief is se- cured. Fortunately relief is possible. Dr. J. D. Kellogg's Asthma Remedy has proved its merits through years of service. A trial will surely con- vince you.

Spring and Fall Fairs are •often spoiled by bad weather. 'Many a Fall Fair has had to worry over a rainy day, and often the entries at the Spa ng Show have been reduced by colt- and snow. It remained for fine weather to interfere with the Spring Fair of 1925. The weather was so fine for seeding that the farmers had been busy all week in the fields and many were in the dos- ing days of seeding and fearing a break after the fine spell, they were loath to miss ti day and many entries were cancelled during Thursday morning. Stili the quality shown was in most cases typical of the fine stock for which the vicinity is noted. This was particularly the case in the agricultural and heavy draft classes. • The prize winners: Clydesdale stallion, R. Burchill, Dublin. Percheron Stallion, Fisher & Reyn- olds, Clinton.

Rev. R .
