We are pleased to report that Mr. Jno. 01•0eson who recently had his leg broken, is making favorable progress towards recovery. Mr. Dan McInnes has moved on to the Archy Gordon farm, and Mr. Gor- don has moved into Jas. Taylor's house on the 4th con. where lie will reside clueing the summer. After four years service as teacher in the Langside school, Miss Milne has resigned her position. Her resigna- tion will take effect at the mid -sum- mer holidays. Miss Milne has been a faithful teacher, has given good satis- faction and the Board would like umch to retain her services. The Presbyterian congregation has had an organ placed in their church ]fere. The step has been found neves- salt' owing to the want of a precentor since Mr. A. D. McKenzie left. This is the first time an organ has been used in the church for church services and it is at present in only on trial. ----The town of Slnith's balls has vot- ed to loan tlic Frost & WVoo(1 Co111- pany $150,000 l()mulls rebuilding their shops recently burned, J. 1t'41ly was liberated at Belle- ville last week after having served his full year for his connection with the bogus ballot box intended to switch ballots. ---Some time ago a certain Roofing firth advertised for names of farmers who intended bending during the cooling snuunee. The result of this public appeal was the receipt of 0,000 names of Willem who intend building houses or barns, Most of these pros- pective builders are in Ontario. —The third artesian well at the Stratford waterworks was turned on last Friday shortly before noon, Chairman Savage told The Herald, the connection having them been made all complete, and at the sante time the river water was turned com- pletely off, so that at present the first three artesian wells are furnishing the city's entire water supply. —A farmer in the township of Nel- son informs a well-known Hamilton seed merchant, that while the turnip crop in his neighborhood was a partial failure the past season, owing to the prevalence of the turnip louse, he sav- ed his crop by spraying with common salt and water. He used an auto sprayer and a handful of salt to a gal- lon of water, and two applications were sufficient to destroy the vermin. If this simple remedy had been gener- ally known it would have meant much to many farmers whose crops were practically ruined. —Two remarkable railway projects are under consideration, one at Ot- tawa and the other at Toronto, at the present time. One of these is a scheme to establish an electric rail- way, (170 miles in length, running .from Montreal to Ottawa, thence due westerly to Orillia and on to London and St. Thomas, with a water termin- al at Port Stanley. A branch will ex- tend from Orillia to Toronto. The other scheme, which is before the Legislature, is for a railway to run from Port Credit by way of Bramp- ton, Georgetown, and Acton to Guelph and to be operated by gasoline at 30 miles an hour. Lucknow. About thirty young people joined the Methodist Church on Sunday last. We are sorry to report that Mr. Donald McCorvio had the misfortune of sliding and breaking his leg on Thursday. On Saturday last death removed au old and highly respected resident of the village in the person of Mr. Jos. Anderson. Deceased was amongst the oldest settlers. Mr. John Joynt this week bought the "burned block" from the McKen- zie Bros. and intends erecting a large and handsome block of stores. Mr. Joynt is one of our most enterprising citizens and we are pleased to see flim secure this property. We have to report the death of Mrs. Margaret Hayes, lot 5, con. 11, Kin- loss, in her 74th year. MI•s. Hayes was a woman of quiet manner, thoroughly domestic, an affectionate mother and wife and one of the most womanly of women. A frame cottage on 'Willoughby. St., occupied by Miss Doyle, was destroy-. ed by Lire on 'Tuesday last. hiss Doyle was out of the house at the time, and when discovered, the fire had gained such headway that it was 1111 - possible for the firemen to save the building. Clinton. AN INTERESTING TRiP. Last week Doherty tt; Co. received a considerable order for the world-re- nowned Doherty Organs, from Bue- nos Ayres, South America, Ale, ,Ino, Joynt, the well known fruit evaporator and ash exporter, Of Lneknow, was in town last week. Alt'. Joynt has made a fortune by looking after what most people throw away ---their wood ashes. It looks as if Clinton will be a poor spotting town this year. It is rumor- ed that baseball may be dropped, and it is not likely that the national gauge of lacrosse will be played; we hope, however, that something yet may be done towards organization. The growth of business in this town is shown in the fact that the Customs Ciollections up to the mouth of April will be as great as fur the entire fiscal year of 1005. It is probable that the returns for the year will considerably exceed those of any other office in the county, Goderich not excepted. At the Nicholson sale of shorthorn stock, on Thursday, near Parkhill, Me. Jas. Snell bought a fine four year old eow. Mr. Snell has among his herd a 19 year old cow, which has a sucking calf at her side ; she has had a calf every year since she was. two years old, so that site has been a good investment. Last week Guy Cndmore bought from Chas. Allinson a small house be, John lett/ the railroad, occupied by Ellison. The world has gone hard with the latter, prolonged ill health keeping him out of work, though lat- terly he has been able to do more in this respect than formerly, but in ad- dition to acquiring a family he has acquired no wealth, and paying rent Os well as providing for his family has been a hard problem. The purchaser of the house ordered theta to move out, but he failed to (10 so, and on Fri- day he went and took oft the doors and windows leaving the unfortunate family exposed to the rigors of the weather. This was not a wise or pru- dent thing to do, aside from its legali- ty, and Ellison complained to the mayor, who sent Chief Wheatley down to see that they were replaced, before any of the family died from ex- I posure. The doors and windows were replaced, and Ellison was quietly ad- vised that he had better get another . place, which he promised to do. —Au American -Canadian syndicate has purchased 300,000 acres of land along the main line of the G.

It is better to keep the hens tame, as a frightened fowl will never do well. Use sweet oil one teaspoonful, tur- pentine one teaspoonful for frostbit- ten combs. Three things which cause tender or tough chickens are food, care and age. The habit of egg eating is sometimes chased by lack of oyster shell or lime. A chicken that is allowed to run free and get lots of exercise is bound to be tough. People who ]neve failed at every- thing they have undertaken should not try the poultry business. Insect depredations are like tweeds. They can be kept in cheek by prevent- ing their getting a start.

I left Graf- ton on the 20th of June, 1005, and went by the Northcu'n Pacific to Detroit, Minn., to change cars. I arrived at Livingston, Mont., at 0.10 a. rn. on the 22nd. I here [net Captain Shaw, one of the Shaw & Powell Transportation Co., who gave. ore his terms ($30) for the round trip through the Park, 150 [Hiles, including board, etc., from Gar- diner. I aceepted his terms, paid for a ticket to Gardiner ($1.05) and arrived there before dinner. After dinner ten of ns were driven to Mtanhmoti Hct Springs, and after viewing the won- ders there, drove on to the Hoodoos and Silver (Tate, and on to Golden Gate, four utiles from Mammoth Hot Springs. After feasting our eyes on this grand scenery, we drove four miles farther to camp on Willowlow Creek, where we saw beavers and their clams. \Ve waited here one day for the rest of the party to come up. Next morning our party numbered 41-8 men and 33 ladies ; from Pennsylvania 19, Michigan 5, Montana 3, Illinois 3, Texas 2, Maryland, California 2, Min- nesota 2, New York 2, and North Da- kota 1. We rode in eight covered spring wagons. Two four -horse teams drew the tents, and the company's help numbered 18, including two cooks. We generally made a start before 8 a. rn., the pack team and cooks going ahead and having dinner ready be- neath beautiful trees. After dinner the same order was observed, and when we arrived the dining tents were up and we had supper about 6.80, after which we ,unused ourselves in differ- ent ways until sundown, when we would occupy the camp stools around. 0 good fire of dry pine logs.

The help, some of Iwhom were ex -college students, had three or four musical instrnments, and we had music, singing, recitations, anecdotes, etc. One of our cooks was a lady, who had her horse to ride from camp to camp. I was amused one morning to see a elan of our party ap- proach her, when she was ready to mount, and offer to assist her. She declined his offer, and when he turned away she mounted, Ulan -fashion, and cantered off. (They all do it.) I shall not attempt to describe the wonders of the Park ; you will find it better clone in "Wonderland, 1905", and The Yellowstone National Park, by Chit- tenden. I may say that, of the spout- ing geysers, we only saw two in opera- tion, Old Faithful and Lone Star, each twice. But of boiling springs, hot pools, lakes, boiling paint pots, etc., the sate no end, some boiling so vio- lently that the water is thrown up several feet. The number of these boiling springs, and the extent of the - territory in which they are found, is wonderful. You trill see steam rising on every hand, sometimes at the side of the road, also up on the mountain. The Obsidian Cliff, Yellowstone lake and Falls of the Grand Canyon are most interesting. In fact the superla- tive can be truly applied to very many The in the Park. Park is heavily wooded in most places, with pine chiefly, even up the sides of the rocky cliffs the trees nee trying to live. The roads are gravel and kept in a good state of repair.

Each tube also passes on through the ceiling space and opens up a similar vent from the ceiling. This gives twenty-four differ- ent special air openings in the stable. There are also eight larger openings and four tubes for the removal of foul air, as shown in. Fig. 2. The latter are all built in the side walls and in places constructed for that purpose. The amount of fresh air which is allowed to enter depends upon the di- rection of the wind and temperature of the outside air. This may be varied at pleasure by the use of the spring shutter over the intakes. Since the stable is heated entirely by the ani- mals, a rapid change of air is not prac- tical and unless particularly foul is not .04 FIG.

The room is particularly free from dis- agreeable odors, and this room is one of the cleanest to be found in any of the modern experiment station dairy barns. Why Cow. Should Be Tested. A great many overlook the value of testing the milk of each eow in the herd, for the profits at the creamery depend more upon the percentage of butter fat contained in the milk than upon the amount of the flow. Two cows in the same herd may serve as an illustration. One gives 600 pounds of milk during one r.:-,a)th which tests only 3 per cent butter fat, while the other cow will only give 500 pounds, but the test shows 5 per cent butter fat. It can be easily seen which is the more profitable of the two. A number of North Dakota cream- eries are insisting that their patrons make tests of the milk of each of their cows. They believe that if the dairy farmer is taught to keep profitable dairy cows they will be more satisfied with results and, as a matter 0f course, will remain patrons of the creamery longer than theyif were dissatisfied. If the patron will not keep a tester of his own the creamery will protide him with separate cans for each cow's milk and will test the milk for him free of charge. Apple. a. Cow Feed. Apples make good feed for cows if fed in small quantities at first. Begin with three quarts at a feed and gradu- ally increase, says II. G. Manchester in Rural New Yorker. In this way you eau work the cow up to half a bushel at a feed without injury. If the cow is given all she will eat at one time she will bloat and go down. We call such a cow drunk, but the scientific men claim that intoxication is impossible from this cause. At any rate, the cow is very weary, stops giving milk and in some cases dies. 'When fed in shall quantities the milia: flow Increases and the eow does well. We like to feed some cornmeal when feeding apples. Be careful not to feed large ones or the cow may choke. Losses In Skimming. It has been estimated that the losses of butter fat by the different methods of skimming the milk of twenty cows in a year amount to $120 by the sial• low pan setting, $60 by the deep set- ting and $15 by centrifugal separator; This is based on a price of 20 cents per pound for butter and an average loss of fat in the skim milk by each method. When Heifers Freshen. A. cow is worth much more when her milking habit is well established. Spe- cial pains with cows that are fresh for the first time is for thls reason im- portant, _ ..
