The Commissioner of Fisheries has received an interesting speci- men of the paddle fish, or spoon- bill cat, which was caught in the Spanish'River, Algoma. It meas- ures 5 feet 1 inch over all and is a dangerous looking creature. It has never previously been seen in Ca- nadian waters. The fish belongs to the Sturgeon species, its roe be- ing available for caviare. In thirty-five years, that is from 1867 to 1902, there were 69 divorces iii Canada and 700,000 in the United States. Thus, while the population varies as one to twelve, the num- ber of divorces are as one to ten thousand. To the ordinary citizen these figures ±eel convincing and satisfactory argument against the pleadings of Goldwin Smith and others in favor of the establishment of a divorce court in Canada. A large number of counterfeit one -dollar Dominion of Canada bills have been floating around To.. ronto within the past week. One issue A 1898 is a photo wood pro- duction, and bears the log -rolling scene vignette. The paper is of poor quality, and to an expert the fraud is easily detected. A second issue, series B, bears the imprint "For Minister of Finance," It is difficult to say whether these bilis have been put in circulation at the Woodbine races, but it is beleiveci that not a few of them were palmed off on the holiday. People should bo careful in their inspection of one -dollar bilis at the present time. Meat On The Farm. Much valuable information re- . garding the butchering, curing and keeping of meat is given in the Farmers' Bulletin No. 183 of the U. S. Department of Agricultural, on. titled "Meat on the Farm." The illustrations enable any ono to fol- low closely the directions for kill- ing and cutting up cattle, sheep and swine. The general advice given is worthy of close attention by all farmers who do not depend on the butcher for their meat supply. Selection of Anima]:,. The aut- hor of the bulletin points out that in the selection of animals for meat health should be given first consid- eration. No matter how fat an animal may , be or how good its form, if it is not in perfect health the best quality of meat cannot bo obtained. If suffering from fever, or any serious derangement of the system, the flesh will not be whole- some food. Flesh of animals that have recovered from the ravages of disease before slaughter: is not likely to cure well and is very diffi- cult to keep after curing. Bruises, broken limbs, or like accidents all have the same effect on the meat as ill health, and, unless' the animal cart be killed . and dressed immed- iately after such accident it is not best to use the meat for food. A rise of two degrees or inose in the animal's temperature at or just previous to slaughtering is almost sure to result in stringy, gluey meat and to create a tendency to sour in curing. Condition. • First class meat can- not be obtained from animals that are poor in. flesh. A reasonable a- mount of flesh• must be present to give juicinese a ci flavor to the flesh, and. no s,A.t:tor an animal is, within reasonable limits, the better will be the eeeel. Fite presence of largo =emits of fat is not essential hoese1"o , to Wholesome meat and itis far more important that . an animal be in good health than that it be extremely fat. It is not wise to kill an animel that is losing flesh as the muscle fibres • are shrinking in volume and contain correspond- ingly less water. As •a consequence the meat is tougher and dryer. Whon an animal is gaining in flesh the opposite condition prevails and a better quality of meat is the re= suit. Also a better produot will -be obtained from an animal in• only medium flesh but gaining rapidly than from a very fat animal that is at a standstill or losing flesh. Breeding and Quality. quality in meat is largely dependent on the health and condition of the animals slaughtered, and yet the best qual- ity of meat is rarely, if ever, ob- tained from poorly bred stock. The desired"marbling" or admixture of fat and loan is never of the, best in scrub stock, nor do the over fed show ring animals furnish the ideal in quality of meat. There seems to be a connection between a smooth, even and deeply fleshed animal and nicely marbled meat that is not easily explained. Fine bones, soft luxuriant hair and mellow flesh are always desirable in an animal to be used for meat, as they are indicat- ions of small waste and good qual- ity of meat. Age for Killing. Age affects the flavor and texture of the meat to quite an extent. It is a well-known fact that moat from old animals is more likely to be tough than that from young ones. The flesh from very young animals lacks flavour ane is watery. An old animal prop- erly fattened and in good health would be preferred . to a younger one in poor condition. Cattle are fit for beef at eighteen to twenty months if properly fed, though meat from such animals lacks in flavor. Tho best beef will be ob- tained from animals from twenty to forty months old. A.calf should not be used for veal under six weeks of age, and is at its best when about ten weeks old and raised on the cow. Hogs may be used at any age after six weeks, but the most pro- fitable ago at which to slaughter is eight to twelve inonths. Sheep may be used when two to three, months old and at any time thereafter. They will be at their best previous to reaching two years of age, us- ually at eight to twelve months. Preparation of Animals for Slaugh- ter. An animal intended for slaugh- ter should be kept off feed from twenty-four to thirty-six hours, otherwise it is impossible to thor- oughly drain out the veins when the animal is bled, and a reddish colored unattractive carcase will be the result. Water should be given freely up to the time of slaughter, as it keeps the tempera- ture normal and helps to wash the effete matter out of the system, re- sulting in a nicely colored carcass. The care of animals previous to slaughter has a considerable effect on the keeping qualities of the meat. In no instance should an animal be killed immediately after a long drive or after a rapid run about the pasture. The flesh of an animal. that has been overheated is usually a pale colour and very often develops a sour or putrid odor with- in three or four days after being dressed. Bruises cause blood to settle in that portion of the body affected, presenting an uninviting appearance, and often cause the loss. of a considerable portion of the carcass. Therefore, a thirty- six hour fast, plenty of water, care- ful handling, and rest before slaugh- ter aro all izuportant in securing meat in the best condition for use. South Huron. Farmers' Institute. The annual meeting of 'the mem- bers of the South Huron Farmers' Institute was held at Hensen 'SVecl- nrsday, June 1st. There was not a very large number present. The annual report of the " directors, which was adopted,;showod that a good work had been done during the past year. There had been two regular and six supplementary Institute meetings hold during the year. At these meetings 41 addres- ses had been delivered and the aggregate attendance was 1,675. The attendance at each of the meet- ings was as follows : Farquhar,210; Crediton, 200 ; Grand Bend, 90 ; Hensall, 290 ; Varna, 215 ; Seaforth, 90, The membership for the pre- sent year is 203. The year was commenced with a balance of $309 in the treasury and closed with a balance of $381. The receipts for the year amounted to $266 and the disbursements to $194. It was re- solver to make a change in the mode of soliciting members. Here- after, members will not be solicited at the Instiiute meetings, but will be secured by the directors. The following directors were appointed for the current year.: Stephen, G. Penhale, W. D. Sanders, Yin. Lewis, John Love. Exeter, -- D. McInnis and E. Christie.

John McNevin, Tricker - smith, and Wm. Monteith,Usborne, were re-elected auditors. At a meeting of the new board of directors, Mr. Thomas Fraser was appointed president, Mr. Robert Gardiner, vice•president, and Mr, S. S>auillie, Howell, secretary -trea- surer. . It was decided to hold the regular Instituto meetings for the year at Exeter and Brumfield as usual, and the supplementaries at Bayfield, Hensall, Zurich, Grand Bend, Crediton and Elimville. Ex. W. O. T. U. The W. C. T. U. held a most suc- cessful public meeting on Friday evening, June 3rd, in the Baptist church. A large number were present and the following excellent program rendered. The county president, Mrs. E. P. Paulin, of Dashwood, was present and occu- pied the chair, opening the meeting with singing "Hark, the Temper- ance Bells," after which Miss Lam- bie, of Hensall, led in prayer. An- other hymn was sung, followed by a mandolin and guitar duet by Mrs. Hawthorne, of Bay City. and Mr. C. Hey. The scripture lesson was read by the President of the Hensall W. C. T. U., who also made a few remaris. A male quartette was rendered in fine style by Mes- srs. Shetler, Stelck, Gellman and Rennie, entitled "Blue Galilee." Owing to the absence of Mr. Howard, of Blake, who was to be one of the evening speakers, Mr. Hoggarth, teacher of Hillsgreen, was called upon and spoke of the great amount of good teachers can do along temperance lines in the school, and the many children that can be• reached. Another mando- lin and guitar duet was given after which Miss Lizzie Rennie and Miss Ethel Williams sang "Eternity is Near". The next speaker was C. Hey, of Kilmanagh, Mich., a former resident of this place and his address was much appreciated. He spoke on the temperance ques- tion in general, basing his remarks on biblical foundation. He also related some exciting incidents which occur daily the world over. The quartette favored the audience with another song "Rock of Ages." The collection was then taken up and the pledge passed, a great num- ber signing. Then came the re- freshing part of the program, lunch, consisting of sandwiches, cake and coffee, was served to all, anti to which all did ample justice. The meeting closed with singing the temperance doxology. E. M. WILLIAMS, Press. Supt. Metal Works For The Soo. Sault Ste. Marie.
