Goderich. `Plews Items -One clay hist• week, the body of an elderly Imran was found by some school boys, in the lake at Kincardine. He was shortly afterwards identified as Mr. John Mngford, who for the past four years has resided with Mr. Sam. Laxton, South Side. He was subject to attacks of weakness, and it is sup- posed was overcome by exertion of walking and falling near the water's edge wits suffocated uttoc;steel by an incoming wave. Ile was a native of Colborne Tp., Il:uron Co., and was in his 71st year. Two of his sons reside in Gode- rich. -The Detroit and Cleveland Navi- gation Company is having built a steamer whose cost is placed at $1,- 250,000, which will be the monster of the lakes. This boat is to be a side- wheeler. There are to be passenger elevators, open fireplaces, and private telephones in every room, while pri- vate verandahs aro to lead from the expensive parlors. ITpon the decks of the steamer can be stowed 110 car- loads of freight, while her passenger excursion limit will be 4,500 persons. The size of the vessel appears in the fact that a stroll r 11 of a mile will he in- cluded in a walls around the boat, starting at the gangway and return- ing to the same point. -A cow belonging to a colored man named J. G. Taylor, living in the out- skirts of Woodstock, became infested with lice. Another colored man nam- ed Smith, tied the animal to a wagon, smeared her all over with coal oil, and set fire to the oil. Tho poor animal was at once transformed into a flam- ing torch. She'bellowed with the un- told pain, and writhed under the blistering heat, but could not get away from the wagon else she might have rolled on the ground or rushed into the adjacent river to extinguish the flames. Her body is now covered with blisters from head to foot, rang- ing in size front that of a ten -cent piece to a good-sized saucer. Smith thought he was doing the cow an act of kindness and had no idea that such disastrous results would follow his ex- periment. -A remarkable story comes front Paris to the Chicago 'Record -Herald. It tells of the curious complications arising between twin brothers on the one side and twin sisters on the other. The brothers were so much alike, even from earliest infancy, that their moth- er could not tell them apart. The same was true of the twin sisters with which the story deals, and their mother. Eventually the twin broth- ers met the twin sisters, a double mar- riage followed, and then the complica- tions grew more perplexing. Hus- bands were unable to distinguish be- tween the brides and the brides be- tween husbands. As both couples liv- ed in the same house the embarrass- ment of the situation was aggravated. Eventually the difficulty was solved by the aid of a distinguished ribbon in one case and a password in the other. Clinton. Hodgens Bros. have increased their already large tailoring staff by the ad- dition of two more coatinakers this week. The assessment roll shows real pro- perty assessed, $063,685 ; assessed for School purposes only, $8,500 ; business assessment, $72,7-t5 ; income $8,050 ; total, $774,480. • Mr. W. Graham received word on Tuesday that the Berlin Sugar Co. will not accept any further contracts for this season. They already have over 5000 acres. `The home of Mr. Robs. Crawford of the 13th con. of Hullett was the scene of a happy event on Thursday even- ing last when his daughter, Carrie, be- came the bride of Mr. J. E. Johnson of Blyth. The Lacrosse boys have organized, and it has been decided to enter in the Intermediate series of the C. L. A. with London, Kincardine, Wingham, Goderich, Seaforth and St. Mary's which would form a good district. We understand that Rev. J. Greene will return to Clinton at the end of the present Conference year, although he had been invited to remain on his present field for another year. He and Miss Greene were here this week, getting the house and garden in shape. The S, A. officers presented a peti- tion to the Council on Monday night, offering to give an open-air Band per- formance once a week, in considera- tion of a grant of $100. The Band is a decidedly creditable one, more espe- cially when it is borne in mind that the army is not strong numerically. A young than named Lesson arriv- ed in town on Wednesday, and is at present being looked after by Mr. Jas. Ford ; lie has had a pretty tough ex- perience dining the past two weeks. Ile is a Dublin College graduate, who was left an orphan, and was sent out to this country as an immigrant, ar- riving in Toronto with only $1 in his pocket. He was sent to work for a farmer, but having no experience had to quit the job. He made his way to Owen Sound and walked from there to Goderich, sleeping where he could and getting his meals in the same way. He diel not get work in Gode- rich, and camp here, dropping into Mr. Ford's store by accident. When Mr, Ford heard his story, and satisfied himself that he was not being deceiv- ed, lie acted the part of the good Samaritan, providing hint with food, and giving him temporary employ- ment. The young man is certainly well educated and refined, being very quick at figures, and would make it good office hand or shipping clerk. Last week eight feet of cement wail was added to the elevator, a pretty good week's work. Assessor Campbell reports the town population as 1410, and the increase In assessment as about $200,000. Alfred Dodds of Colborne put away 55 hives last fall and finds now, in good condition 51 hives, showing that the past winter was comparatively mild. The owners of the fishing tug, the Two Macs, brought in a trout turning ng the scale at 40 pounds on Tuesday, the largest fish brought into this port this year. It was as beauty. The Goderich Organ Co. will be among the exhibitors at the New Zea- land International Exhibition to be held at Christ Church, New 'Zealand, during the Australasian stnnmer, opening November 1st. Mr. Colin Campbell raised over 700 chickens this spring from his incuba- tors. He now has spring chickens weighing over two pounds, and ex- pects to make his first shipment to Afontreal next week, and will realize 35 and 40c per pound for theta. The contractors are making fair pro- gress at the station end of the line, but until the overhead bridge at Har- bor Hill is in position and joined to the new road, no very great advance can be made. Of course the $40,000 depot can be proceeded with. and it is expected the contract for its erection may be let any day. The non -jury spring sitting of the High Court of Justice opened on Mon- day,before o tits Hon. Air. Justice +lute, with the following docket :- Pigott vs. the Imperial Cement Co. An action to recover for the value of cement bags returned, was by consent of counsel postponed. Armstrong vs. Inglis, et al, an action on a deed of land, was settled trY consent of counsel. His Lordship directing judgment in accordauee with consent ininutes signed by coun- sel, declaring the defendant the own- er in fee simple of the lands in suit. R. Vanstone for defendant. Duncan vs. Gentles, an action for dowry. His Lordship directed that judgment be entered for plaintiff for dower out of the lands in the pro- ceedings mentioned, with costs of action. Crawford vs. Tilden, et al, was an action by a sub -contractor against a sub -contractor, for work done by the plaintiff, who resides in West Wawa - nosh, the work perforated being in the neighborhood of Auburn. The action necessarily brought Pigott & Co. and the Goderich and Guelph Rail- road Co. in as defendants. The lead- ing argument of the defendants was that the lien could not be claimed under the Dominion R. R. Act. His Lordship directed that it be referred to the Local Master at Goderich to en- quire and report the amount owing to the plaintiff and other lien holders by the defendants. Nagle vs. thrills, an action for the price of the construction of 0 grano- lithie pier or dant at the village of Auburn. The dispute is as to the manner in which the work was done, the plaintiff claiming that it was pro- perly finished according to plans and contract, and the defence that it was imperfectly finished and that some of the material was not up to the requir- ed standard. The case lasted the greater part of the day, and when the court adjourned at 6 p.m., there were over 20 witnesses still to examine. During the evening the parties to the suit discussed their differences, and just when the Judge was about retir- ing they called on him, and then all returned to the Court House and set- tled the suit. Sell Your Cold For $1? You surely won't stop at a dollar bill to cure that horrid snilfeling cold? Go to any druggist and get "Catarrho- zone" and your cold will be a thing of the past. There is almost witchery in the swift way Catarrhozone kills colds. But when you consider the penetrating, healing and antiseptic qualities of Catarrhozone perhaps it's not so wonderful. Certainly there is no remedy half so prompt for colds and catarrh as Catarrhozone. Refuse a substitute and insist on having only "Catarrhozone." -In Russia the per capita invest- ment in industrial enterprise is $4; while in the United States it is $125. --An accident that night have been attended with serious results and loss of life occurred on the farm of Mr. Thos. Dickens, con. 4, Usborne, Satur- day last. Mr. Dickens and his two sons, Wm. and Alf., Ern. Davis and another num were engaged in raising the house and had succeeded in jack- ing it up several feet, when in saute manner it took a slide and fell to the ground, all the then being underneath. Fortunately it happened that there was sufficient timber and materiel under the building to prevent it from crushing the lives out of the men but all had IL narrow shave, and some of them were injured.

The committee have the preparations well under way and everything points to a larger number of lodges being present than ever before. Mr. Wm. Cannell, an old and high- ly esteemed resident of Lticknoty, pas- sed away at his residence on Thurs- day, 3rd inst., in the 80th year of his age. Deceased was for many years a resident of the township of Kinloss before coming to the village, Kinloss loses one of its most valved residents in the death on Sunday, Oth inst, of Mi', henry Moulton. Al- though a sufferer of kidney trouble for many years, he had almost reach- ed the advanced age of 81, and was able to be up and about until within a day or two before his death. The remains of the late Mr. Thos. Falconer, who died at Moose Jaw, on the 3rd inst., were brought to Luck - now station on Monday last, and con- veyed to tate house of his father, Mr. Thos. Falconer, on the 6th Con. of Kinloss. Deceased was in his 41st year, and about two weeks before his death he met with an accident while breaking in a colt. Ho had been 17 years in the West and had amassed an independent fortune, being the owner of some 1200 acres of land, and was one of the most prominent and highly respected residents in the sec- tion.

A correspondent of the Ohio Farmer sketches a plan for keeping the cow clean in the stall, which is designed for any one who does not like stanchions and has no room for a box stall, It Is adaplled to a common earth floored stall, but it the cow feeds over the edge of a manger this must be chang- ed to a rack. The principle is the fa- miliar one of having the cow stand on a platform so abort that the droppings will fall over the edge. The rack Is about a foot wide at the bottom, with bars wide enough apart to let the cow's nose pass through, The sketch shows how feed rack, platform and drop are arranged. In arranging the platform floor a good plan is to set a 2 by 12 inch plank PLAN OP COW STALL. on edge just a little (two or three inches) behind where the cow's heels will be when her nose touches the bars of the feed rack. Secure it firmly by stakes. Then fill it with earth up level with the top edge of the plank. Clay Is beat, and be sure to tamp it well. If It becomes rough or uneven from be- ing tramped by the cow fill up the low places until it becomes packed hard and level. Keep a little clean straw on the platform and plenty of litter below in the passageway. DIVIDED RESPONSIBILITY. It Pleases Many Writers to Take a Whack at the Farmer. "The farmer has been scolded and shamed and thoroughly 'lambasted' for not taking better care of his cream," said Hon. R. M. Washburn, dairy com- missioner of Missouri, in his recent ad- dress before the National Creamery Buttermakers' association, "and what has been the result? Poor cream con- tinues to come and bad butter con- tinues to go. Poor Teaching and Poor Practice. "The hand separator agents who have taught and are still teaching the farm- ers that once or twice a week is often enough to wash their particular make of machine should be the first men laid out and with them the company they represent for allowing them to do this thing, which in most cases is against the orders of the house. I was surprised at learning from one whose word cannot be questioned in Kansas City, Mo., this winter the agent of a separator company was heard to tell a farmer that his machine was `washed with the crank.' Their teaching is more filthy and a greater source of evil than the farmer's dirty barn. "The second man to be slain Is the creamery manager, for he, though howling lustily, is, after all, the chief offender. His sin lies in accepting at first class prices cream which no mor- tal man could make foto good butter. During the past two years the mad chase among the creameries of the west for more business has led all to take any old stuff named 'cream' and, what is worse, pay a good cream price for it" Vitality In Milk. To the controversy ou vitality in milk Dr, W. C. Huntington of :::.'ti- gau furnishes the following in Hol- stein -Friesian Register: The fat globules in Holstein milk are finer and more intimately mixed with the other solids than in the milk of any other cows, and hence Holstein milk is best for all purposes for which whole milk is used. Jersey milk is here not considered suitable for condensing because it is too inclined to churn simply from slop- ping about in the can during trans- portation to the condensary, and the tendency of Jersey milk to separate In the stomach into melted butter and hard indigestible curds is the reason why the puny Jersey calf so often cannot live on the milk of its own dam. Milk which is not fit for the offspring of its producer Is certainly not very suitable for human consumption, and there need be no mystery about the recognized fact of greatest vitality in Holstein milk. Dollars In the Distance. Too many of us fail to notice the dollar In the distance in our eagerness to procure the penny that drops at our feet, and to many the sum of $100 or more expended for a good sire seems an extravagant waste, but I will say that the approved pure bred sire has been the salvation of all live stock im- provement. As a means of raising the standard of performance of the dairy cow I firmly believe it highly essen- tial for our dairymen to keep constant- ly at the head of their herds carefully selected, pedigreed sires of some of the distinct dairy breeds. -W. J. Gillett, Illinois. Hay, Feed and Silage. Three experiments at the New Jersey station with alfalfa hay versus pur- chased feeds gave an average net gain of 28.3 per cent and 27 per cent re- spectively in milk and butter from the alfalfa ration. Cowpea hay was equal In feeding value to alfalfa hay, while crimson clover hay was less valuable. Cowpea or soy bean silage, With al- falfa or crimson clover hay, returned Less net gain in milk and butter than rations et alfalfa hex and corn silage.
