-There re two things here just now in

is coming I -boasted to yen in last
letter that we could produce acres of ice

to 493 below zero,- a thing I never saw
here before on any reliable thermometer.
- If it werq net for the glass we could
hardly tell how cold it is here. To -day
at noon 4ith some degrees above zero it
feels mu h. - colder in a southeast wind
than sore times in the 400 below.

When he curlers. came in we had
hard worl by sweeping and baling to
get ice on which to play all night in re-
lays. They were sowing patches of
wheat outl in the country to see how it
• wouldturn out. We got back after
some day a to a temperature in which
ice wouldnot Melt, and the final honors
•were pretty equally divided. The two
crack rinks of America, from St. Paul.
and Po e, Wisconsin, got trophies
each, the est prize stayed in Winnipeg.

Miss Niemier is rather a good looking
young girl of 18 years, and has hitherto
been a student at .the Walkerton High',
School. Dr. Kern admitted his inten-
tion of marrying her, but he changed
his mind when another girl got after
him. He married the other girl -and
then pleaded that Miss Niemier did not
grow big enough to suit his aesthetic
taste. As a means of enabling the
jury tofix the damages, Dr. Karn's love
lettersto the young lady . were read in
or o e grea amusement of the
crowd. The jury awarded Mise Nientier
$2,500. .
-A Belleville paper of the 14th inst.,
says: "The wonderful exodus of farm -
ere to the Western States from this dis-
trict is becoming alarming. The nuniber
going west this spring is unprecedented.
Eight families,including some forty
people, have taken, out papers at the
Consulate here withinthe past four days.
Their names are: Fermin, Garrison,
Daly, Hynes, McNeil, -Ryah, and two
families named Harris., Most of them
went to Port Huron and thence to the
Western States to take up land. As
one man said: 'I can't pay my rent here
let alone sive money.' There are also
two families of MeCtsulays, two families
of MeNeirs, and another_ family of
.Ryans. -A. through train has been

The Way to Make Cows
Profitable.
DiSR Exoosrron.-As the season is
now - approaching for those intending .to
keep,cows for profit to commence right,
a little advice may be of use. As the
cow is only a Milk machine, to be profit-
able she must be fed either for butter or
for cheese, :Ian) writing for the benefit of
• the patrons of Winthrop cheese factory.
Some people think if they have a certain
number of OOWS without either grass or
&liking properties they should make as
much, money as their neighbor with
the same number of good cows,
well kept, or else some one has
cheated, theta in weighing milk or.
paying the money. They might just Of
well expect the same number of bushels
of wheat from the same =libber of acres
of poor land, half cultivated and sown[
with poor seed as their neighbors wonid
have off good land, well cultivated ahd
sown with good seed, and if not, that
Providence cheated them orisome neigh-
bor bewitched their crop., . I ; • -
A good Ow should make forty dollars
a year for &farmer without purchasing
any feed except a little bran and even
without that, and keep them milking
for ten months in theyear. A cow will not
pay to keep her milking only five or six
months. One party in a United States
Agricultural. journal stated that his
cows fed on wheat straw and branon
the second of last January, were. giving
thirty pounds of milk each day, and had
calved in April and in .calf; again from
June laid. That WAS not expensive
feed. •
• I will now give illy plan and guaran-
tee forty dollars from each good cow,
if • the milk is sent to the _Winthrop
cheese factory and my plan followed.
Suppose a cow drops her calf this month
or next, feed the calf new milk for one
week; after that -set the milk in the
'creamery cans and Aim every twelve
hours for the next three weeks, and feed
the calf - the skim -milk warmed to
ninety degrees of heat, feeding the cow
well with hay and roots, or bran and a
little chopped oats. At the end of four
weeks the calf is worth four' dollars, -
either to keep or Sell tp the butcher,
and. the cow will have made at least
half a pound of butter each day besides,
for three weeks; or -say 12 pounds at 15
cents per pound is $1.80, which makes
$5.80 the firet•four Weeks. The sectind
four weeks, set the milk twenty four
hours and if anything of a cow she will
average one pound -of butter per day,
that is, 28 pounds of butter at 15 cents
per pound is $4.20 besides the milk.
Now if the calf is raised; one dollar's
worth of flex meal and oil cake mixed
will keep jt wellthrough -summer. 'Send
the milk to the factory and any mid -
ling cow ought to average 35 pounds of
milk a day, from the second week in
May until. the Mond week in July, if
given as good pasture as steers that are
kept for the Old Country markets.
'Thirty-five Pounds a day for .6 days will
be 19 ga/kme a week for the next eight
weeks which would be 152 gallons, at 7
cents per gallon, would be $10.64. But
it might be only 6 ante, that would be
.$9.12 at the latter price. Ninteen dollars i
and twelve cents n sixteen weeks', the
next eight weeks at thirty pounds a day
would ,be 18 gallons a week, and 144
gallonsto•the first of September, at 7.
cents a gallori- wenld be $10.08, for Sep-
tember and October say 25 pounds a
day, or 150 pounds a week, or 120 ' gal-
lons for eight weeks at 8 cents per gal -1
Ion is $9.60 at the end of cheese making
and the total to this time is $38.80, and
from the•first of May, or cheese making,
I have not counted Sundays, which is
one-seventh of the time, and I have
only counted 32 weeks, and there still
remains 7 Weeks to make nine months,
but if the cow is. fed and milked ten
months any one can see she will go
nearer $60 than $40, as butter is worth
15 cents generally- in the fall and *in-
ter, and any patron knows the prices
for the Milk are not above the average
that has been paid in the Winthrop
cheese factory, and all will agree that -
the quantity of milk is uot more than
an everage cnw ought to give. The
prices per gallon received last year,
and cheese was low, was 6c., 6c. and 7c.
for the three sales. Now as for the
feed, every farmer should sow a patch
of born for feed incase of a dry season,
and sow peas and oats on some piece of
dirty ground that would be plowed a
couple of times, for green feed in the.
fall, and raise mangolds to feed in fall
and winter for butter making and early
in spring, and if a little ,-bran is fed as
well se much the better q The object of
