Injured Deer Found Near Blyth

after suffering acutely for some time
before it was discovered in a ditch
near Blyth. The animal ran headlong

stable Leaver of Clinton.

Hens Accompany Eggs to Market—
Mr. Henry Kocher, of Hesson, a
trucker for the Milverton Creamery, is
the possessor " of two ultra -modern
hens which hitch -hiked a ride to Mil-
verton on his truck to accompany
their product to the grading station
the other day. After gathering cream
since early morning, during which
time he made a number of stops, Mr.
Kocher drove into the creamery yard
and was surprised to see on • of his
own hens fly out from unde t e pare
tire, on the fender, and proudly an-
nounce .the fact that to -day at least
her egg would be delivered promptly
and decidedly fresh. On investigation
another hen and another egg was
discovered in the same spot. No
doubt Mr. Kocher will be able to' find
a ready sale for his eggs if he can
educate the balance of his flock along
similar lines. It would be quite a
novelty to have him drive up with a
load of cackling hens announcing the
proud fact that new -laid eggs were
being delivered right to your door.—

lis, given a lift by a truck, and let

unexpectedly g
eel right in front nt o ofthe
clergyman's car. It was impossible to
stop the car at such close range, and
the boy was knocked to the pavement.
Unable to rise, medical assistance was
quickly obtained and it was found on
examination that the Iad's leg had'
been fractured, and the bone splint-
ered between the knee and hip. It
was purely an accidental inishap, and
no blame is being placed on the own-
er of the car. -Mildmay Gazette.
Should Win Cake with Potato
If a cake were offered, there is lit-
tle doubt that the potato grown by
R. D. Earley, Kincardine town, would
win it, llfrs. Farley brought to the
Review -Reporter office this peculiar
tuber which is, now on display in the
window. It comprises not one potato,
but, ten potatoes in one, The entire
potato is of good quality and tips the
scales at 1 pound, 9 ounces. Were it
cut up into sections it would be suf-
leientt for a meal for an ordinary sized
family, Thirty eight such potatoes
would make a bushel or fifty-seven of
them a bag, -Kincardine Review -Re-
