Very Truly IIRI ToUPIII:Ii JOHNSON. -- .. `ted 'Nin Kann Co., Lim l� Tie Western Foundry EAST HURON SCHOUI,s. WINTER CARE OF COW$, The following facts aro gleaned from the report of Mr, Robb, Inspector of Schools for East Huron ;- There were 123 public school depart- ments open In East Huron during 1905. These were in charge of 33 male and 00 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 6n years, and the average tiure in present school is Si years, There are 20 teach- ers in this Inspectorate who have taught ten years or over. In 1005, 5,061 pupils were enrolled in the whole Inspectorate and in 1905, 5,612, hence there has been a decrease of 52 pupils daring 1005. The average attendance is 61i 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. Ono 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 $61.06, This stun was paid to eight presiding examiners, for ink, ex- pressage, printing, etc. Each examin- er received $6 and railway fare. It is estimated that this outlay of 64.00 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 610 teachers in training have passed through this school. CONTINUATION CLASS SCHOOL. 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 501 pupils taking up high school studies in the public schools of this Inspectorate during the year 1905. Coughers, Hawkers, Spitters ! Public expectoration is against the common law, against the laws of health also.

Don't take our word for it, try Catarrhozone yourself. Once used you'll be delight- ed with its pleasant and helpful in- fluence. How the 6004 fairrrolo► Wilt Pse. Thiel For His Cattle's Comfort. It Is some work to keep a lot of Cows clean in the stable, writes a correspoad- ent of Tribune Farmer. No one will deny that. But the farmer who Cares 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 dol The dairyman will have the platform on which.his cows stand alant 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 eows stand where the platform is longest and the short ones on the shorter planks. Ile 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 lie 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 leas taint the mill{. 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 then` in the stable within handy reach at any time, and he wilt 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 before 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 the winter season, so that they will come out sleek and neat in the spring. 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.

Crerar of Binscarth, Man., formerly of this village was here re- cently, renewing old acquaintances in this locality. It is 24 years since the first mentioned gentleman went West and it is 12 years since he was here.

The 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 1006. $100 has been accepted by the Ladies' Aid as their share ; the Sabbath School will aim tit a similar amount; the League will undertake $25 and the choir $I5. This with $100 from Sinking Fund will leave $750 for the general congregation. It is ex- pected the total will be banked before Dec. 15th next, R. McKinney, of Toronto, father of Robt.

Deceased has ed t. retired life in Toronto for the past three years, but is well known throughout the Province, having for years conducted the Albion Hotel Owen Sound. About 25 years ago Mr. McKinney associated with his brother Thos., kept the American Hotel, Brussels, and will bo renlem- boreil by the elder residents, Building Up n 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. In this way, by care- ful selection, a good herd may be built up in a few years. 1 DAIRY FARM WISDOM Y W Conditions which influence the rich- ness ofr c Sam from thesap o arat r 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. Slcini Milk For the Calf. Afilk 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, in addition, the butter fat will be saved. Test the Milk. You can never tell just what your cows are worth until you have weighed and tested their milk separately. Butter 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 Cleanliness. Nothing iu dairy products appeals with such force to the consumer as to be absolutely certain that the products they pay for have passed through per- fectly clean hands. Washing the Teats. 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 oft[ the sides, flanks and legs of the cow, usually the lathiest parts, and in this way more Isolid 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 do 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 much upon. Factors In Pare Mille Production. Cleanliness, low temperature and sterilized vessels are the important lac - tore 1n producing clean, pure milk. Milk keeps sweet much longer in win- tc.r than in summer, for it is easily kept cool, as it Is a fact that germs grow or germinate much less rapidly In cool and clean milk than itt milk Of a higher temperature.

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 iinportant streets. The Clinton Thresher Co. has al- ready received sufficient orders for machines, for Ontario alone, to keep thein busy all summer. This is with- out reference to the west for which work the foundry was enlarged. In a few weeks a full stair 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 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 Elec.. is 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.
