where she resided ever since until het..
death, having lived at her late residence
some 40 years. Mrs. Feagan and her
husband were early settlers upon a once
leading road through the• centre of
Wawanosh, and many of the first settlers
ean testify to her kindly and hospita-
ble nature, as her house was always
open and every service which she could
bestow- was cheerfully afforded without
even the expectation of recompense.
Yrs. Feagan gained the entire respectsof
aJ1 who knew her, by her quiet, unas-
suming manner, and her sincere desire
to promote peace and harmony amongst
all around her.
-The Exeter Times of last week says:
Last evening, Mr. N. J. Clark and fam-
ily left for Butte City, California. On
the eve of his departure, Mr. Clark was
waited upon by a, number of his friends
from Usborne and presented with a
handsome present, accompanied with
heartfelt expressions of regret at his de-
parture and good wishes for his future
welfare in the sunny west. The Misses
Clark were also •the recipients of some
nice presents from their many lady
friends in the village. Mr. Clark has been
clerk of Usborne township for ten years,
also secretary -manager of the. Usborne
and Hibbert Fire Insurance Company
since its organization, and was instru-
mental in establishing for the company
a good business. He kept a general store
at Farquhar for a number of years, and
after retiring from business removed to
Exeter, where he has lived for nearly
two years a He and his family, who are
held in the highest esteem, carry with
them the best wishes of their numerous
friends, who very much regrettheir de-
parture.
-The Goderieh Signal of last week
says: Thos. and Wm. Stoddard, from
Watipau, Wisconsin, old residents of
Colborne, who are on their way to the
old country, irisited their sister, Mrs.
Morris, and other relatives io this sec -
time last week. It is thirty years since
they left Canada and took up their resi-
dence in the States. They were ac:
companied by neighbor § of theirs, Wm.
Inglis and Robt. Bogie, drover, another
old Colborne boy. The first three are
shouting Democrats and strong Knights
of Labor -advocates, and the latter is a
Republican, and not so much in sym-
pathy with the Knights, but all agree
in the abolition of second chambers, in
home rule for States, Provinces and de-
pendencies, and in the fact that Glad-
stone is the greatest statesman the world
has ever seen. A night with the Ameri-
can -Canadians would . open the eyes of
the most hide -bound Tory- that ever
lived. Mr. Inglis wants to go to Scot-
land, where he was born, and see the
estate on which he was bred. Apropos
of his visit to Auld Reekie he gives. the
cause of his coming to America. When
a young man he owned the finest collie
in the seetion, and the landlord being
jealous of the ownership of so fine a dog
by a tenant, ordered the animal to be
shot. The killing ofsthe poor animal, so
disgusted Inglis that be made ' up his
mind he would not live in a country
where such arbitrary and tyrannical
prover was in the hands of the land-
lords. He came to America and has
-
largely prospered, and he is now going
back to stand side by side with the
owner of the estate, as a man and equal,
-without being ashamed of the fact that
he was once a poor despised tenant who
dared not own a dog.

A Voice from Algoma.
DAT's Mitts, March, 24th, 1886.
DEAR EXPOSITOR, --Your • paper comes
to us every week away in the backwoods
of Algoma, and a welcome visitor it is
to a great many here, as it brings ,
good news from the dear old home, as
well as interesting tidings from distant
lands of Sunny Skies, Manitoba, Michi-
gan and elsewhere.. It has also occurred
to me that a few words Concerning this
portico of Her Majesty's heritage might
be .of interest to some of your readers, as
I believe there is not nearly as much
known of this country as there should
be. Although we are all frozen in from
the outside world, here a portion of the
year, business goes on and industries
flourish; and people live and some of
them prosper as well as in the more
highly favored and privileged districts.
The principal industry here in the win-
ter is lumbering,and a very iMports,nt
one it, is for this gauntry. Many of
your readers would be .surprised if they
were to seethemasses of saw togs and
timber- which line the banks of the rivers
in this country -awaiting the advent Of
spring to be floated down to the mills as
soon as the ice hreaka up. It is estimat-
ed that twelve million feet_ oftimber
and saw iogs will be floated down the
MissiSsaugua river this spring, and there
are a -good many Other streamsin this
district which are utilised similarly to
this one. You wilI therefore see that
the shanties have been busy -scenes of in-
dustry during the past winter. I Most of
the shanties employ from 50 to 70 men.
The lumbermen are taking the pine out
of this country very fast, although it
will take years yet to complete their
limits.. There .is lots -of work for both
man and beast; and if any go without
employment here it is because they are
not willing to Work.- Horses are very
scarce in this country, and every one
this fit for the woods is made to do
y. A team of horses will men $1.50
per day and fee&. and men receive $1.8:a
Month and board. :The old. lumbermen.,
who have followed the woods- for years,
think it is very hard times when they
have to work for $18 per month; as some
two or three years ago wageswere from
$26 to $35 per month, and men scarce at
that, but times pre changed now. Hun -
Areas of aettlers have come in within the
last two years, and ,sorne of them have
to go out and work in the winter to earn
something to help keep house, and it is
fortunate for them that they can get
work, as the clearance on the. farm is
small and money scarce. .
Since I came here, two years age, an
immense number of settlers. have Come
in, and many of them are from the coun-
ties of Huron and Bruce, and there is a
great deal more land taken up by parties
who aro now , waiting until spring to
come and settle on it. Ile land. along
the Mississaugua river is all. thickly
settled with people of an classes
and denominations, and an are doing
well. Ask any of these settlers how
they are getting along and they will
reply: Oh, first rate; times are brisk -
and. everything we have to sell brings a
good price." You see we cannot raise.
enough to supply the home demands,
and the lumbering shanties will con-
sume all„ and a great deal more than
we can raise, and pay high prices for it, so
that those whaare so fortunate as to have
produce to sell do well. A neweettler
coming in. would be apt to think this a
•
rough cotintry, but those who have
been here awhile are quite contented,
and I have never, seen one who would
care to exchange hiss present situation
kr that -he occupied before .Coming here.
There is lots of good land here which is
fit for settlement, and there is some.
which is rocky and never will be settled
on, but this latter is whete the pine and
other most valuable timber grows. In
the townships of Wells and Parkinson"
there are large tracts of land timbered
with hardwood, such as maple, birch,
tamarac-and cedar, and here and there
a pine. This land, where the hard.
wood grows, is a rich clay_loarn, and
some ,of it very heavy. There are
other tracts again, of pine lands, which
are light and sandy. There Was a new
township surveyed' last sunnier, in
which there is it lot of good hard -wood
land, and there are no settleris
in it yet. All around on my trav-
els I notice good clearances, and
large fellows coming down, which shows
that the people are prospering. We
have Men here from Manitoba who like
it better than in that country. They
say we have timber here to keep us
warm; which the settlers in Manitoba
have not.
The Government are putting main
roads all through this country, and they
are going to builld a bridge across the
river this summei at a cost of $10,000.
It is to be of iron, and is to re -place the
wooden one that was carried off last
spring. There is also considerable talk
of a railroad which it is said will be
commenced next surruner. This also
'would be a great boon to the settlers.
Th conclusion I would say to young men
in search of land, Who are able and
willing to work, this is the place for
them. The land only costs 20 cents an
acre, and if they do not wish to settle
'on it at once they can get plenty of work
to do at fair wages.
Wm. Woonaow,
Formerly of Bluevale.
Mr. McMordie Criticised.
Mn. EDITOR, -DEAR SIR, -The first
thing Mr. McMordie should have done
was to define what over -feeding is, and
then look for a remedy 'e the course
pursued by medical men is'first to make
a diagnosis, and. then apply the proper
remedies. Now it strikes me that if
judges were ordered to withold prizes
from over -fed animals there would be
found to be a good deal of difference of
opinicai as to what constituted over-
feeding, what one man would term an
over -fed animal another might not. Let
us suppose that two horses enter the
show -ring, one is much fatter than the
other. Now, Mr. McMordie would
give the lean horse the prize, and yet, in
the sense in which he uses the term
the lean horse is the more over -fed of
the two. The fat horse has been kept
in a roomy, well ventilated, well lighted,
well drained apartment ; he has had
regular and sufficient exercise.; his food
has been of the very best quality, not
all of the fat -forming kind, but the fat -
forming and the muscle -forming ju-
diciously combined ; the fattening has
not been done in a few weeks but has
extended over a considerablelength of
time, so that not a single function has
been interfered with. Now, the fat
which is on the thinner horse may have
been put on in a few weeks by the
"stuffing and doctoring" process; he
has .had little or no exercise ;Ale is kept
in a close, dark stall, where every par-
ticle of air he breathes is impregnated
by the poisonous gasses emanating from
the decomposing organic matter beneath
him. NoW, I ask, which Of the two
horees would have the soundest consti-
tution? which would be most likely to
have his procreative power diminished?
which would he most likely to transmit
to his progeny an enfeebled constitu-
tion.? Surely the latter. Mr. McMor-
die blames " over -feeding " for the
large death rate amongst foals. Now,
are there any statistics to bear out this
statement? I think not; this is a
ground on which we ought to tread very
carefully. Our county has achieved an
almost World-wide celebrity for its
horses ; such statements will assuredly
-
detract largely from our good name in
this respect, and, again, it will injure
those individuals who have "dared the
-dangers of the deep" and risked their
all in building up that reputation which
is the means of drawing thousands of
dollars within our borders every year.
The cause of the numerous deaths
among foals I may discuss at another
time: A. M.: CAMPBELL.
Stanley, March 30, 1886.
Sir John Macdonald's Hettith.
The Ottawa Citizen of Wednesday
last says: Statements regarding Sir
John Macdonald's condition are not so
satisfactory as some days ago. From
two distinct sburces information has
been received which, if correct, indicates
that grave apprehensions exist regarding
Sir John's ultimate recovery. It is
said that Sir John's trouble is not
sciatica as at first aupposed, but
that the pains of whieh % he com-
plains are caused by a derange-
ment of the kidneys, they pres-
sing upon the spine. It. is stated, also
that lithic acid has been forming in his
system, and that physicians fear that
dropsy may follow. The treatment of
the disease is now being carried on by:
local physicians, who are constantly in
communication with Dr. Howard of
Montreal. It is hoped that notwith-
standing Sir John's advanced years,
the efforts being put forth may be suc-
cessful.
LATER.
Since the above was in type we notice
that Sir Hector Langevin- read the fol-
lowing letter in the House of Commons
on Wednesday, from Dr. Powell, attend-
ing Sir John Macdonald : -" In reply to
your inquiries I may say that SinJohn's
physical condition is remarkably good,
and though his local symptoms have
been Very obstinate, yet they are now
undergoing a rapid change for the better,
and I look forward to his complete
convalescence at an early day." This,
announcement was received with hearty
applause on both sides of the House. •
---The Stratford Beacon of the 2nd
inst. says : We are sorry to have to
announce this week the death of Wm.
Huxley, who has been a resident of
Stratford for a few years, and last year
built a handsome residence on Cambria
street. He had been ill during the
greater part of the winter, but had re-
covered sufficiently to enable him to
visit, friends in Norwich on Saturday.
The fatigue of the journey must have
been too great for him, for he died there
on Wednesday morning'and was buried
there yesterday. Mr. Huxley resided
for a number of years at Fullarton Cor-
ners, where he successfully conducted a
cheese faetory. He was last summer
employed by Mr. Thomas Ballantyne,
M. P. P., in purchasing cheese, and in
that capacity enjoyed the confidence of
his employer and the respect Of every-
body with whom he came in ;contact.
He was a careful business man and a
good citizen whose untimely .death will
be regretted by all who knew him and
be a loss to the community. n He leaves
a wife and four daughters. • His age
was 48.

TH E WINTHROP CHEESE
FACTORY.
IMPORTANT ANS'OXINCFMENT TO PATRONS :-AN
the season of the year is approaching when th0
1 -
fa.riner is in e quandary to know what to do with
his sows, support a Cheese Factory, Creamery
or raise calves. A word of advice to those in-
tending to send to the above factory may be in
Vine. Firnt.-Tht Directors are Alex. Kerr,
Finlay Ross and Stephen Godwinnand tile maker,
George E. Leech, whose names are a sufficient
guarantet to Patrons to get good Cheese and
fair dealing.' Secondla.-They are putting in
new presses and vats in the factory, and making
this season ior two and three-eighths emits pet
pound, which is cheaper than ever before. And
as we arways took as small a quantity of milk tia
a pound of cheese as most of the factories in
Ontario, We think with the improvement thin
year to be able to ( o still better. Thirdly.--Ilin
factory starts on the 17th of May, so as to giant
Patrons a chance to raise their calves, and haat?,
them five on six weeks old at the thne of start-
ing, and what milk is fed during that tune should
be given three times a day instead of twice a day
as is customary. A small onantity of ground
Oil Cake and peas or barley meal with vernal
water twice a day afterwards,will produce better
calves in the fall than if I( don milk alone. And
starting the 17th of May, leaving 144 days for
sending to the factory -until the 1st of November -
And if cows are fed so as to average 25 pound*
of milk per day for that thne, at 8 cents per
10 pounds of milk, would be $28.80 in the season,
or 20 cents a day per cow'but if cheese Antal
only average 7 cents per 10 pounds of milk, it
would be 25.20 per season, or 17 cents per day
for cow. A eow averaging three-quarters of -n
pound of butter a day would be 10s pounds
butter in the same time, of course a cow wi2
average more butter in Ma a and June, and less in
the fall. And one thing shown at the tests in
London and Toronto last fall,v:as that the longer
a time after the cow calving to the time of test-
ing the less butter and the more in proportioa
to the quantity of milk. Fourth. -No Polyp!
will be allowed to start after the first week In
June, nor allowed to stop until the factory closet!
in the fall, without leave of the Directors in
both cases, and those only sending three month)
ar less, will be charged at the rate of threie
cents per pound. Patrons will put money ih
their own pockets by making preparations in
the spring for green feed of some kind for Jul
and August, when they are likely to be scarce fol
pasture. To those who have not patronized!
the factory since coining into the bands of the
Company, we inight ntate we pay the full Yalu"
of milk sent at each sale by cheek on banli, an
send a statement of quantity of milk receivea
and price sold for, and price per 10 pounds a
milk, so any person can understand, and all mill -
takes will be rectified it shown to exist. Thy
locality around Winthrop is the best adapted fx.
pasture of any in Huron, on account of being
well watered and level, and growing Whiteeloviztr
abundantly. I And the cheese of Canada pro-
duces more money than the wheat, and a sin"
crop if the cows are only fed. We invite every
farmer to become a Patron and Shareholdeta
And the latent probabilities are that wheat an
Eggs will be cheap. JOHN C. MORRISON,
Secretary and Treasurer.
