The following facts are gleaned from the report of Mr. Robb, Inspector of Schools for East Huron ; -- Thare were 123 public school depart- ments open in East Huron during 1905. These were in charge of 33 male and 90 female teachers, a decrease of four male teachers. In 1904, 44 school departments changed teachers ; in 1905 there were 51 changes. Of the 123 teachers, seven held first class, 58 second class, and 55 third class certificates. The average experience of all the teachers of East Huron is 6f years, and the average time in present school is 3e years, There are 20 teach- ers in this Inspectorate who have taught ten years or over. In 1905, 5,004 pupils were enrolled in the whole Inspectorate and in 1905, 5,012, hence there has been a decrease of 52 pupils daring 1905. The average attendance is 01e per cent, This is an excellent showing. Three hundred and thirty-one can- didates wrote on the entrance ex- amination, of whom 288 passed. The average age of these successful candi- dates was 131 years. One hundred and twenty-four candidates wrote at the two Collegiate Institutes, Clinton and Seaforth, and 207 at the five out- side centres, Brussels, Wingham, Blyth, Fordwich and Wroxeter. These centres were established by the county council and last year cost the county $04.00. This sum was paid to eight presiding examiners, for ink, ex- pressage, printing, ete. Each examin- er received $6 and railway fare. It is estimated that this outlay of 64.60 saves in railway fares, board, etc., at least $1,000 to parents who have pupils writing on these examinations. The county council has full power to abolish these centres. Mr. W. R. Lough has been principal of the Clinton Model School for 22 years, during which time 040 teachers in training have passed through this school. CONTINUATION CLASS SCIIOOL. The three large continuation class schools in this Inspectorate are doing their usual successful work. Two of these schools, Wingham and Brussels each have two teachers devoting their entire time to high school work. At the high school examinations in July they were more successful than many of the high schools of the Province. Blyth employs but one teacher of high school work. This school also, had good success at the midsummer examinations. There were 504 pupils taking up high school studies in the public schools of this Inspectorate duviug the year 1905.

FEBRUARY 1, 1906 WINTER CARE OF COWS, • now the Good Ipairynaino,Willll pare. vide ,For His Cattle'o Comfort. It 1s some work to keep a lot of cow clean in the stable, writes a correspond- eut of Tribune Farmer. NO one will deny that. But the farmer who carea anything for the real comfort of hie herd will willingly do all in his power to make them as neat as possible, Here are some of the things he will dos The dairy7laan will have the platform on whiehhis cows stand slant backward slightly --not too much, for that would tire and perhaps permanently injure the cows that must stand upon It such a large part of the time, He will see to it that the long cows stand where the platform is longest and the short ones on the shorter planks. He will do his best to have the stanchions which keep the cows from creeping up at times when they are apt to foul their sleeping place. He will provide some kind of litter on the floor for the cows to Ile on. This may be straw, If he has it to spare, and there Is nothing better for the bedding than clean straw. Some have a way of putting the horse manure under their cows for bedding. This surely must give the cows an un- pleasant smell and more or less taint the milk. If horse manure is used at all, it should be In the gutter behind the cat- tle to absorb the liquid manure. This is a most essential thing, for the man who lets this part of his barnyard fer- tilizer drip through a hole bored in the stable floor in that way deliberately robs himself. There are not so many of us who can afford to do this, and yet it would scare us if we knew what losses we incur every year through that auger hole in the stable floor. But bedding and littering the gutter is not all that needs to. be done to In- sure neat cattle. There remains the most particular work of all. The man who would keep his cows clean will have a good currycomb and -brush and keep them In the stable within handy reach at any time, and he will use them too. Every day the comb and brush must be called into play. With me I take the time for this work when my cows come into the stable, after hav- ing been out to drink In the forenoon. Then the sides and flanks are compara- tively dry, so that everything may be removed with little effort. Then the man whois tidy about his barn will brush his cows }Afore he milks them morning and evening with a cloth of some sort. An old bran sack is better than nothing. Every particle of filth should be brushed away, so that none may find its way into the milk pail. These precautions will take cows through tha winter season, so that they will come out sleek and neat in the spring. Building Up a Dairy Herd. It takes years to build up a good dai- ry herd, and the greatest care is neces- sary in breeding and purchasing, says Farmers Advocate. A good plan Is to buy good heifers, just a little before they come fresh. Iu this way, by care- ful selection, a good herd may be built up in a few years. Brussels. Some farmers were plowing on Monday. Not bad for Jan. 22nd. E. Cober, who bought a hardware business in Moorefield some months ago, has disposed of his home on Prin- cess street to Mrs. Moffatt, of Turn - berry. Bert. Gerry left this week for Fort William where he may embark in the hardware business. He has had quite an experience in business circles and will no doubt do well. W. H. Kerr is visiting the A. 0. U. W. lodges in the Westerly section of the Co. this week as D. D. G. M. He has 20 lodges in his district with a total membership of over 1300. Mr. A. S. Crerar of Binscarth, Man., formerly of this village was here re- cently, renewing old acquaintances in this locality. It is 21 years since the first mentioned gentleman went West and it is 12 years since he was here. He is engaged as grain dealer at Bins - earth and associated with his two sons are also farming. Last year they had 4,000 bushels of wheat and 2,000 of oats. Tho various departments of the Methodist church are evincing an active interest in the project of pay- ing off the balance of the church debt in 1900. $100 has been accepted by the Ladies' Aid as their share; the Sabbath School will aim at a similar amount; the League will undertake $25 and the choir $25. This with $100 - frotn Sinking Fund will leave $750 for the general congregation. It is ex- pected the total will bo banked before Dec. 15th newt. R. McKinney, of Toronto, father of Robt. McKinney, proprietor of the Queen's Hotel, of Oshawa, was found dead on the side of the Grand Trunk Railway tracks near the Oshawa sta- tion at 4 o'clock last Friday morning the body being frozen stiff. Heart trouble had affected hitt for some time, and attack may have seized him while out walking,.

About 25 years ago diel inney associated with his brother Thos., kept the American Had, Brussels, unci will die reaieut- bared by the older residents. 1 DAIRY FARM WISDOM Y 1 Conditions which influence the rich- nessf r o cream from the separator are the speed of the bowl; the flow of the milk in the bowl and to a certain ex- tent the temperature of the milk. High speed and a low feed give a rich cream, while a low speed and increasing the amount of feed will give a thin cream. This accounts largely for the great variation in the cream test from the same machine. -Cor. American Agricul- turist, Skim Milk For the Calf. Milk direct from the cow run through a separator and balanced with flaxseed meal will not only make the calf grow as well as one fed on whole milk, but, iu addition, the butter fat will be saved. Text the Milk. You can never tell just what your cows are worth until you have weighed and tested their milk separately. Batter From Butter Fat. A pound of butter fat will make about one and one-seventh pounds of butter, depending largely on the per- centage of moisture it contains. Value of Cleanlinexa. Nothing in dairy products appeals with such force to the consumer as to be absolutely certain that the products they pay for have passed through per, fectiy clean hands. Washing the Teat.. There has been much said about washing the udder and teats before be- ginning milking, and some do so thor- oughly. Others do It just so as to dis- solve whatever dirt may be there and leave It to drip down into the milk, while more do not do it at all or even take the trouble to brush off the sides, flanks and legs of the cow, usually the filthiest parts, and In this way more solid matter gets Into the milk than Is in the proper proportion for the butter fat In it. -American Cultivator. Clean the Separator. Those whose business it Is to clean the separator after using, which should be done every time, do not do it at all or de not do it very thoroughly, and it becomes a lodging place for all the mi- crobes, otherwise the filth in which breed the most pernicious microbes, until it Is much worse than the milk pails that lecturers used to harp so =eh upon. Factors In Pure Milk Production. Cleanliness, low temperature and sterilized vessels are the Important fac- tors in producing clean, pure milk. Milk keeps sweet much longer in win- ter thalt in summer, for it is easily kept cool, as it is a fact that germs grow or germinate mueh less rapidly in cool and clean milk than In milk of a higher temperature. • - Chamberlain's Cough Remedy the Mother's Favorite.

The Dominion Draft Horse Breed- ers' Association, which was organized in Clinton twenty years ago, will cease to exist in a few months. Many are in favor of issuing deben- tures to the extent of $10,000 for per- manent roadways. This includes a scheme for thorough drainage, crush- ed stone and the use of a steam roller. It is proposed to begin with the most important streets. The Clinton Thresher Co. has al- ready received sufficient orders for machines, for Ontario alone, to keep them busy all summer. This is with- out reference to the west for which work the foundry was enlarged. In a few weeks a full staff of hands will be put on the work. A lady of the east end of the town met with an unpleasant experience on Sunday while returning from church. She was walking down Gibbings street and that thorofare being dark, the electric lamp not giving forth any light, she stepped off the walk and in- to such a deep pool of water that she almost went out of sight. A brakeman had a narrow escape from death at the station one day last week. The crew was engaged shunt- ing in the yards and as he was step- ping in frontof a moving car to fix the brake, he slipped and fell, but fortunately his clothing caught in the loose brake and he was carried along for thirty feet. When the car stop- ped he had to have assistance to get free. Had lie not been• caught in the Himself Cured of Catarrh and Throat Troubles, by (PRONOUNCED - Sr -KEEN) He is now anxious to save others. Leger L. Hardy, St. Basile de Portneuf,P.Q., writes as fol- lows: "Isuf- fered for two years with Throat Ca- tarrh and a n obstin- ate cough. Psventxu had a splen- did effect in my case.

The latest addition to the House of Refuge is Donald McGinnis, an old resident of the township of Goderich, who was brought in with his feet frozen, and gangrene having set in, his condition is such that medical as- sistance can only afford him tempor- ary relief. He is one of two brothers who were famous in the early days as choppers, the other having gone to British Columbia ; and while the statement seems incredible, it is vouched for by those who know that Donald has to his credit the chopping and splitting of seven cords of four foot wood in one day. The Clinton Knitting Co. started its machinery running in the new fac- tory, on Monday morning, and the hands are busily engaged in trying to catch up with orders. The factory is heated, lighted and run by power from the Electric Light Works, three motors being required therefor, and is fitted up with modern and up-to-date machinery. Some of these are auto- matic, and require practically no care; some manufacture nothing but stock- ing legs, others make stocking feet, while others take the two parts and attach them. They have also ma- chines for making fancy silk stockings and a slight adjustment turns out any pattern desired.
