GODERbCH,
:The police count chamber was too
small to accommodate those who
wished to hear five charges' of cruel-
ty to animals and once of assault
leaving their origin in >Colbarne town-
ship, so adj;otsrnntent was taken ,to
the town hill, wfhre there was more
elbow room. As a result of the morn-
ing's woc,k, Dan SIw'antz was con-
victed on the cruelty charge and re
mauded on his own bail for sentence.
Sim'ila'r charges .against 'Stanley and
Lawrence Snyder, Sant Heiden and.
Williams Yloung were withdrawn.
Norman A9din, edit-vole/inlet-it in the
cruelty charges, was himself convict-
ed of "technically" assaulting ,Lawr-
ence Snyder, T'hese police court
cases are the outgrowth of a feud
!which has existed on the Maitland
concession for some time between M-
ini and his neighbors, Data Swartz
claims that Allin's cattle and horses
.have repeatedly invaded and damaged
his maugo'lds, turnips and buckwheat.
;Lite ':farms adjoin and in some places
fences are down or do not exist. On
Saturday, September 26th, at about
8.30 in the evening Swartz faun.d two
of Allin's horses in his betc'kwhcat..
He ,put what he ,ca.rried a "war bridle"
or twitch on th;e lower Hp of a three-
year-old mare; tied it up in his barn.
and later took it to the place of 1.
iFisher, the poundkeeper, without re-
moving the twitch. On his trip to
the poundkeeper's he had with hint
the Snyder, boys, Heddettl and,
Young. He ad matted he expected,
trouble from 'Pullin. He filed a dam-
age claire with the poundkeeper far
$105. Next morning it .was found that
the 'horse's lower lip was paralyzed
and that i1 'could - not eat nor drinks
properly. Dr. Fredman V.S. of God-
erich; and Dr. Evans, V.S., of Clinton,
said the horse had been practically
render'e'd' useless, Mand worthless.. It
oudd not pick up 'its oats, eat grass
nor lap water pronely with'a para-
lyzed lower lip, the blood vessels and
erves of which had been killed by
he twitch. The paw was, badly
'wollen and the horse was generally
in a bad way, Dr, Freeman .had little
tope for recovery. Dr. Evans said',
here was a retniate cli'ance. Mr.'
'Swartz took full responsibility for
his act. He said he had used "war
bridles" on horses before without iii
'ttrious results. He admitted the horse
was not particulanly fractious but
that it at first refused to be led Other
evidence was that it was a quiet 'mare.
The magistrate asked Dr. Freeman to
continue his treatments and ordered
Slwantz to pay bhe veterinary'' hill. Dr.
Freeman said he had been out to see
bhe horse at 7 o'cllocic that morning
and had pierced :its lower lip with
needles, but the animal had no feeling
or sensation in the injured part. This
is a serious offence.. The penalty can
he as high as $500 or one year's im-
prisonment, or both. The Act was
autended by the Legislature last ses-
sion and the Act is more severe.

Crop Report.
The .production outlook for agricul-
ture in !Ontario is excellent, :according
to reports received from representa-
tives. The harvesting 01 a record crop
in -several lines of production is about
completed and most of it has been
garnered in good condi'tion. !Pastures
in Western and .Central 'Ontario have
been 'goad and recent rains in the eas-
tern sections .have greatly improved
the condition of this very important
(crop'. Live stock has 'been in. good
cond'i'tion. 'Farmers are well adv'ance'd'
with .their work. Mere after -harvest
cultivation has been done this year
than in any recent seasons. Soil con-
ditions have been favorable to the
preparation of fall Wheat 'land and
early sawn 'crops are looking well.
Fall plowing is well advanced. Mark-
eting.' condi'tions - continue' extremely
discouraging.

Render Important Service,
The important :work -which'agricul-
tural representatives are doing in, the
rural districts of Ontario is pirdbably
not fully appreciated although it is re-
ceiving 'greater recognition each year.
Many of the representatives have been
with the department over a long per-
iod of years, have gained a very useful
knowledge and are serving their re-
spective d`s,tricts 'most capably. It is
learned that thirty o'f the representa-
tives have been in the service five
years or mote; 114 /or fifteen years or
more; 9 for sixteen years; 8 for seven_
teen years; 7 for eighteen years; 5 for
nineteen years, and one 'for -twenty
years. Since the present director, R.
S. Duncan," assumed office 14 years
ago, there has been a turnover; of 06
agricultural representatives in the,
service. Twelve are now farming, 1,;
are still connected with agriculture in
some way or other, and 18 have allied
themselves with other business.
