A Correcticin.-A couple of errors °counsel in Mr. Treivartha's letter which we published last week, on creameries; and which made him say, something different from what' he intended. He is made to say: "1 "also measured eight inches of cream "out every morning for our own "use which made the four pounds "of butter a week which we used." What he die say was,_ thathe meas- ured eight inohes of cream out ev- ery morning which made eight lbs. of butter, churned every two weeks, or four pounds of butter a week. He is also made to say; When us- ing a separator never put the " milk in until it is cold, and then "keep it well stirred/' It should have been: The hot cream should not be mixed with the cold cream until it is thoroughly cooled, and then- kept well stirred before the test eream istaken out of it. With these corrections Mr. Treeevarthy,41 remarks will be intelligible. Our Boys. -The Brnssels Post in referring -to the foot ball match held in that town last week between. the Hurons of Seaforth and theirrus- sels club, says: "Brown Jackson, of Seaforth, was the referee and his decisions gave satisfaction to both teams. -The Seaforth team was az- compaiaied by, severel of , their towns- people. They are a gentlemanly lot of young men and will make the op- posing teams in the.senior series hustle this stetson. The match on Monday evening was nOt in Connec- tion with any, programme but mere,- ly a friendly practise glame for both teams. Some Wingham enthusiasts terested as they have n Intermed - took in the match beil specially ine- iate as well as a tjunioe team in the field who will have td try conclus- ions with both Seaforth and Brus- sels kickers in clam ionship com- petition in connectithi with these League contests, Se forth has no junior team." Womens' Inetitutes.-The sun:muse' 4 meetings of the Worn n's Institutes1, in the county of Huro will be held at the following places and on the dates named: Exeter, June 2; Bay, - field, June 3; Bluevalm June 4.; Eth- el, June 6; Molesworth, June 7,; Fordvrich, June 8; Gerrie, June 9; Wingham, Chisholm's hall, June 10; Blythe in the opera house, June 11 e Clinton, council chamber, June :13e Goderich, June 14. These 'meetings will be addressed by Miss Belle Miller of Guelph, and Miss Jiessie Hilli, of. Toronto. Miss Miller's, subjects are: " Some practical Hints on Home Nursing and Emergencies," illustrat- ed; " Women's Institues, Past, Pre- sent and Future," " G eanings from House-cleaning," " A lound an But- ter," " The Farm Eodl of the Dairy Business." Miss Hills ill take some one of the following, subjects:- " Talks on Food," with demonstra- tions, "Invalid Cookery," Miscon- ception of Domestic Science," " Aims and Objects of- Wome,n s Institutes," " Practical.

' The Town Council.e-Ait the regular meeting of the town council held -en Monday evening the clerk was in- structed to advertise for tenders for -the completion of the drainage works under the by-law , voted an and carried by the property owners last January, .tenders to- be _received un- til the first of June; the work to be commenced not later than the 1st of. July and to be completed not later: than the first of October. The clerk was also instructed. to notify the John Dick Company that alter - the first of June next the town will not be able to furnish them with water from the water Works except such as can be taken at the regular times for pumping and the chairman of the fire, and water Committee was instructed to nalify the en- gineer at the water, works not to do any extra pumping fiu• any person after the date named.; The reason for this action is that tf e evatergets so low in the creek in the summer , that extra pumping e1 :idangers the supply for fire protection purposos. The. Mayor was also requested to In- struct the policeman lo perindical- lyvisit all the private hydrants- and and tanks receiving to%sin water and if be . finds tiny hydrants or tank valves left open so as to permit a -waste of water eontrary to the by- law to have the. particis in default prosecuted. In accordance:- with a request front the count:701 the Elec- tric Light Companysubmitted pro- positions -for the sale of the whole of the present plant to the town; for the sale of th-e arc lighting part of the plant with whi0 to do the. -town lighting, and the terms and price for which they will renew the present contract for 'terms of five and ten years. ,The Mayor was re- quested to call 7.a public; meeting of the ratepayers at an early date to consider these various .propositions anet-to advise the ceuricit in the mat- ter. -A communication from Mr. J. M. Bes(, barrister,- on behalf of -Miss Halpin, claiming damages for the flooding of her residence by water during the recent ire-Oh:et, was refer- red to the street -committee to en - ;quire into the merits of the com- plaint and to re -port at the next reg - utter meeting of the council. A by- law, -introduced by Councillor Wil- lis, forbidding the practice. of spit- ting on the sidewalks of the town, :was passed. Councillor Cardno gave notice that at the next regular meet- ing of the eouncil he will move, to athend the bread by-law so as to per- mit bakers to sell a ponnd and a halt loaf of bread instead of one of Leo pounds. A petition, properly signed, asking for the watering of Main street was presented and the 'contract for watering 'the streets was awarded to Morrow Brothers. The offer of Mr. F. Gutteridge to construct the cornea side wa I ks in the town for. thie year, at the rate of ten and a half cepts per foot, and under the same agreement as formerly, was accepted. Several pe- titions for cement side walks were received and all tItat had the requis- ite number of signatures attached to them were accepted and a by-law passed, to carry, out the work as soon as th,e time specified by law will per- mit, and those not properly signed were ordered to be returned to the petitioners for completion. We may say a petition of this kind requires to have on it ehe signatures of two thirds of the property owners whose properties are to be taxed and the property of the.petitioners must be rated 00 the assessment roll for one half of the value of all the pro- perty. The date for the Court of Revision was fixed for Tuesday, May 31, at 10 o'clock a. m., in the coun- cil roqm; the usual grist of accounts was passed and a few other items of business of minor importance at- tended to and the council adjourned to meet at the call of the Mayor. Things in Winnipeg. -A gentleman who left here several weeks ago to reside in Winnipeg, Manitoba, write.ii on April 5th, as follow"I am very favorably impressed with this country, especially the city of Win- nipeg. We have, also, had, lovely, weather here since I arrived. For the past ten -days the thermometer has been around 85 every day. Seed- ing is well on in many localities, the grass is quite green and the trees are out in leaf. One of the great draw- backs here is, living is so high and especially house rents.They, are out of all proportion to the wages paid. I have as yet been unable to get a house to live in and have almost de- cided to allow my family to remain in Ontario this year rents are so un- reasonable."

It was soon ascertained that the scene. of the trouble was Dick's hotel. at is supposed that a spark from the kitchen chimney had a- lighted on the roof of the kitchen', burning through the roof and runt 'Ilene up inside to the main part Of the frame addition at the rear of the hotel. The firemen were soak on the spot but found it very difficult tO got ati- the seat of the fire as there sras such a net work of roofs that as soon- ate they, got out the fire in one part it broke out in another. Howeve J. i t was subsequently sub- dued nd the building was saved with ve y little injury, comparative- ly speaking. The roof of the kitch- en was 1 broken through in several places and several of the rooms in the maip part of the hotel were dam- aged by ' water and the loss through- out will be considerable, but it is well covered by insurance an the serious inconvenience occasioned will be the main part of Mr. Dick's loss. Too much praise can not be given the firemen for the splendid work they did under very difficult circumstan- ces. Had the fire got into theanain building of the hotel it is hard to say where it would have stopped, as everything was very dry and there was , quite a breeze at the time and the consequences might have been serious, not alone to Mr. Dick but to ; other property owners in the neigh- 1 eoorhood. Owing to some of the ptti- • va to hydrants or tanks around town i having been left open, it was full/ [ 25 minute e before the engineer could i OR MAY i3 1904 Mangold miurtzel. oesef Ir.00.•• Thoroughbred Dunhill grown from select- ed rotes, Our thtee prize winners : Prize Mammoth or Sawkg Giant Yellow Intermediate Roval Giant Sugar Mangold.

This is a very, serious matter and might result in disastrous conse- quences to the town. There is a by- law forbidding those having the use of the town water leaving their hy- draets or tanks open, under a pen- alty. The mayor should instruct the policeman to visit all those places -periodically, and where he finds per- sons violating the provisions of the by-law, have them summohect- be- fore the police megistrate and fined. This should be done without fear or favor and regardless of persons, and if an example were made of two or, three in this way there would be less cause for complaint on this se OTC.

Somerville, railway and steam- ship agent; Morley Habkirk to Van- couver, B. 0.; Mrs. McDonald anti her daughter, Gouinlock street, to Mount Clemens, Michigan; Colin Hudson, Tuckersmith, to Rochester, N.

Carey, of Cobourg, makes the following ex- cellent and timely suggestion in the last number of the Canadian Horti- cutturadist. It is as applicable to this county as fro any other dilitrict in the Province; " There is a good opening for a man who will buy a sprayer and contract with farmers to spray their prchards at a nomin- al price, say 50 per tree. Hundreds of farmers are anxious to have their orchards sprayed, but cannot afford to do the work, and do not know how to go about it. A man with a spraying outfit who will do this work can make a handsome income in the same way that the threshers do in the fall." It is now an accept- ed fact that good fruit cannot be successfully grown unless the trees are properly sprayed. There is, al- so, always a ready market and pay- ing prices for good, clean fruit of the right varieties. Football. -The first football match of the season was platted here on Fri- day evening last between Wing -ham and the Hurons second team. The game was in L he Intermediate series and gave some idea of the relative strength of the teams in theedistrict. The game was a good One although the score of four to nothing in favor of Seaforth may give it e one eided appearance. Wing ha m has a good team with considerable snap and go, but they lack the 'ability to shoot on goal and. that is where they lost. by so large a score on Friday. Of course neither team had had the practice necessery for first class football, but it was a good starter and was above the average in the In- termediate class. The next game will be played this Friday, in Brus- sels, between thp Hurons II and the champion Brussels players. -A practise game was played on the recreation grounds on Wednes- day evening, between Stretford and. the Hurons, whicb resulted in a victory for the Hurons by two goals to one. Stratford have a good team and are looked upon as claimants for the intermediate champioaship. a -A despatch from Guelph says ; There are honest men alive yet.

Death of a Worthy Pioneer. -It be- comes our sad duty to'chroniclethe death of one of the pioneers of the township of I -shone, in the person of John McInnes, who died at Exeter on Tuesdes--Aast, the 10th inst.' He was born on the island of Tyree, Ar- gykshiree Scotland, in the year 1830 and when be was but a few weeks old his parents and family came to Canada and settled in the township of Dalhousie, in the county of Lan- ark, and roughed it there while that part was in a very primitive state. In the year 1851 he came west and located on the Thames road in 13s - borne, his parents ana family fol- lowing hire two years later. In 11361 he was converted under the ministre't of the Rev. John Hooper and. a* once became a member of the Bible Chris- tian Church. In 1882 he married Eliza Passmore, elde.st daughter ef the late William Passmore, of Us - borne. He resided some years near. Woodham, where he occupied the po- eition of class leader and Sabbath sehool superindmident at RP hobath church. He moved to Exeter in 187 and settled on Elizabeth street,where he remained until -death called hiea home. He was a teacher and class leader for many years in connection with James street Methodist deurchr of Exeter. He was one of a family; of fourteen, three sons and eleven daughters. He leaves an affection- ate wife, one brother and three es- ters to mourn his loss. He was a good MILD in the highest sense of the term; a useful citizen, a staunch, true friend and a congenital com- panion. Hie death is a distinct loss to the community in which he had lived so kong and where he was so highly and so deservedly respected. -Hon.
