FARMING SPECIAL COMING, Tho Department of Agriculture, in conjunction with the G.T.R., is run- ning what is termed a "Better Far- ming Special" throughout' Western Ontario duringthe months of Janu- ary and February. The train will visit fifty-seven places and will be in Clinton ,on .Friday of this week. The cars will contain samples of seeds of various kinds and being to charge al expert lecturers and detnanstrators, who will show the new anis approv- ed nodes of seed besting, feeding stock, pctaltry, etc. and of dairying, will be found of interest to enter- prising and up-to-date farmers and gardeners. Not only aro farmers and their families invited to take advan- tage of this source of information but teachers and the larger pupils of the Public and High schools are es- pecially asked to visit the cars. One car is devoted to weeds, insects, poul- try -raising, gardening, and household qufpment.and conveniences, An illus- trated lecture will be given in the town hall in the evening. No charge is being r<nade for anything, the idea being to promote and encourage bet- ter farming, gardening and dairying among .the people and in consequence larger production, Don't fail to see the cars, they will well repay a vis- it. They go to'Seaforth) for Satur- day and Mitchell for Monday, EXTENSIVE . IMPROVEMENTS. The trustees of Wesley church have been making extensive improvements in the interior of the building during the past couple' of months. The basement has hitherto been lit- tle used except as a furnace room but last year the trustees decided, to put it into shape so that it could be used as a dining hall and the im- provements are almost completed. There is a large dieing hall capable of seating two or three hundred people, a roomy and convenient kitch- en with cupboards, taps, etc,, a cou- ple of lavatories with modern con- veniences, a room for tiie janitor's tools, etc., while, it it is considered necessary, sliding partitions can be used to convert the dining roan in- to class rooms for the Sunday school. ' The heating and ventilation system adopted is the most modern and ap- proved system know, providing for a constant supply of fresh air from the outside to the furnace, the foul and used air being conveyed throught ducts to the Outside again, Thus 'the air is being constantly changed and prevents staleness even Mien the edifice is full, It is said, t0 lie 'the most complete' system, of heating and ventilation in any public building in Clinton, The basement' is now being wired, the conduit system of wiring and, in- direct lighting being introduced.
