choly days aro come and to the
ears of the lonely silent bachelor,
alone in his remote secluded corner
bereft of the inexpressible joys
that surround the domestic fireside
will bring the sad, .sacl message
"Autumn is here again and I am
still alone."
The excessive dry weather of the
past few weeks, has diminished
the water supply in many places
and as a result therefrom farmers
in country sections have to resort
to drawing water long distances
for the maintenance of their live
stock.

T: Snowden of the firm of Snow-
den Bros., has recently had the
metallic root removed from his
barn and replaced by one of a more
modern make and more adapted to
meet with the approval of this
agriculturist.
Mr. A. Horner says, that owing
to the absence of rainfall for many
weeks past, the ground in his loca-
tity adjacent to the lake shore, is
becoming particularly hard and the
work of ploughing is thereby ren-
dered an impossibility.
E. Snider has at present a fine
colt, which in the eyes of compet-
ent judges would be considered a
good animal. It is pure black in
color, and of muscular build, with
clean limbs and good action and is
sired by that famous stallion "Vol-
taire" the property of 3, Chambers
of Kippen.

Some time ago the writer -visited
that famous skunk farm. which for
the past two years has been gain-
ing a world wide notoriety in the
minds of the sportsmen of our
village and surrounding country.
and describes the situation of the
place and the scenery connected
therewith as follows About one
half mile north and one quarter of
a mile due oast, of the village of
Drysdale in .the township of Stan-
ley, in the county of Huron, situa.
ted on the north half. of the east
half, of the south half, of a high
hill overhanging the gurgling
waters of a beautiful spring creek,
lies a rectangular enclosure, con-
sisting of about one twentieth of
an acre of barren land, carefully
enclosed on all sides by 'a closely
interwoven wire fence, extending
some three feet below the ground
to an altitude of ten feet called the
skunk farm, a place which has and
still continues to excite the admira-
tion of the sportsman and to the
passing wayfarer to present an in-
teresting and picturesque appear-
ance. The writer entered the in
terior of the farm and was surpris-
ed to find the place wholly destitute
of life. Here and there and care-
lessly scattered about were numer.
ous heaps of small bones, the ske-
letons of skunks, the remains of
the sole survivors of the place,
whioh no doubt perished many
months ago, probably through lack
of freedom and proper nourish-
ment. In other places the ground
was strewn with the bones of do-
mestic animals, consisting of hors-
es, cattle and sheep while upon
close investigation the remains of
fish were found, all forming the
nutritious elements which served
to appease the hungry appetites of
the skunks during the frosty days
of the winter season. The winter
quarters for these animals though
long since constructed are still in a
particularly goorl state of preserva-
tion and consist of a square wooden
box, of the most modern make, and
with an internal capacity of about
one hundred square feet, located
some six feet below the surface of
the earth, with wooden pipes at-
tached thereto, extending to the
open air above and through which
the skunks descended to their nests
below. At the top of each pipe and
on a level with th'e surfaoe of the
ground is a funny shaped box re-
sembling a bee box in appearance,
constructed no doubt for the pur-
pose of preventing the rain and
snow during inclement weather
from penetrating downward The
location of this skunk farm is in-
deed an ideal one being, bounded on
the north by a section of unexcelled
agricultural land, on the east by a
continuous stretch of dense woods,
great distance .on the west Hes the
broad and ecliilaratiag waters of
Lake Huron. With such congenial
surroundings as are herein above
described it is believed that had
the proprietor 'of this farm, who is
also the wealthy proprietor of a
large and valuable tract of land in
this immediate locality only en-
larged the habitable regions of
these animals so that their diet
would not have consisted mainly
of meats, but also of a vegetable
variety, the industry would have
been both successful and remunera-
tive and wouldin many .respects
have resembled a modern zoologi-
cal garden.

Most housewives judge the purity
of a flour by its whiteness. White
somehow signifies purity. But while
pure flours are always white, white
flours are not always pure.
Royal Household Flour
is the whitest 'flour that is milled.
It is also the purest. You may think
the flour you are using is about as
white as flour can be. Yet if you
place it beside Royal Household
Flour it will look yellow by com-
parison. Ask your grocer for Royal
Household, and make sure that he
understands that you mean it.

PHYSICIAN GIVES ADVICE
Tells Why So Many Suffer from;
Catarrh and Rheumatism.
A distinguished physician, famous
for his successful treatment of
catarrh and rheumatism, kidney and
bladder troubles, states as follows
"Our climate being more or less
damp and changeable, is bad for ..
catarrh and rheumatism, and care
must be taken not to let these
troubles gain headway. In addition,
he states that a great many Cana-
dians are careless in their habits,
and to this as much as climatic con-
ditions is due a great deal of the
trouble. Insufficient clothing • and
improper eating will cause rheumatic
and catarrhal troubles in any cli-
mate.
This eminent authority gives the
following as the simplest and best
treatment known to science, and to
it he gives credit largely for his
success :—
Fluid Extract Cascara % oz.
Carriana Compound r oz.
Syrup Sarsaparilla . 6 oz.,
Directions : One teaspoonful after,
each meal and at bedtime.
The ingredients are all vegetable,
and have a direct and specific action"
on the liver, kidneys, and bowels,.,
eliminating all poisonous matter from;
the system. Any druggist can dis-i
pense this, or you can buy the
gredients . separately and mix at
home by shaking in a bottle.
