W. Stevens in Ameri- can Cultivator. The shed plan seems to be giving the greatest satisfaction among those who have adopted it, and none of them seems at all inclined to go back to the old method of handling the dairy herd. We notice, iu fact, that a majority of the dairy barns that are being built now have the covered barn- yard, with milking stalls attached. The care of the ecru is a matter of retest importance g a portents when she is ex- pected to bring in the most profitable returns. To have her do her very best she must have an abundance of fresh air and light, as much comfort as pos- sible and a reasonable amount of ex- ercise, not alone for humane reasons, but that she may produce the most that she as an individual Is capable of on the food supplied. The common O practice of keeping cows shut up in a tightly closed stable, cramped on a platform with their heads fast in rigid stanchions for nearly twenty-four hours a day for six or eight months in the year, is going to be given up for improved and better plans. The advantages of keeping cows in this way over ordinary stabling may be summarized as follows; Cows keep much cleaner and the milking stalls are in a more sanitary condition; cense- O guently it is easier to produce clean • milk. By this method there is less • difficulty in providing cows with an abundance of fresh air, and they are • more vigorous and healthy and have O better appetites than when kept in the stable. Labor is saved, as the shed can be bedded much more easily and quick- ly than can stalls. Tliere is little sta- ble cleaning to be done, and the manure is hauled directly from the shed to the field at any time most convenient and when least damage is done the land by tramping. 0000000000000010000000000♦ 111•1111•11111111111111'O .

Breeding is of the utmost importance, but so is the individual excellence and strength which will enable the bull to transmit the good qualities of his an- cestry and so show his prepotency in his offspring. Perhaps some one who has been writing breeders for prices says he cannot afford to pay for a bull to use on his dairy herd. But it seems to me the question Is how can he af- ford not to buy and to go on in the old way. Suppose a grade cow sired by a pure bred bull gives but one pound per milking more than her dam, an amount so small that the milker could not no- tice he had it without the scales; In the 300 days of the milking season, or 600 innings, she will give 000 pounds of milk, worth at the very lowest 75 cents per 100 pounds, or $4.50 for the sea- son. But a good dairy cow is milked eight seasons, and that would be $30 for the one cow, and if the bull got but ten such it would have earned its own- er $300. But a good bull will do three times as well as this and make three times the money for its owner. -M. II. A Fine Holstein Cow.

Feeding Winter Calves. • With good, warm, dry quarters in the stable and the skimmed milk that can be fed clean and warm to the calves, it is found that they will do as well as In warm weather and will get a good start over those coming along in spring. Some care is necessary in not overfeed- ing and thus inducing bowel trouble. Increase the amount of milk gradually as the calf grows older, and there should not often be trouble. In a few weeks these youngsters will begin to eat a little nice hay,and then they y should have It every day. A. bit of good grain feed will also soon be ap- preciated and repaid by these thrifty growing animals. For Dairymen to Consider. The fact is beginning to dawn upon the dairymen that it costs no more to shelter and but little more to keep the cow that will give from 300 to 500 pounds of butter fat a year than It does the average cow of today that only gives 150 pounds and that It is possible for the average dairymen with a little care in breeding and in study- ing the true type of the dairy cow to become possessed of a herd of them.

THURSDAY, JULY 12, 1906 The Lord's Day Bill. Speech by Dr. T. Chisholm, M. P. for East Huron, in the House of Commons, June 29tH. 1900. Mit, SPEAlix:lt :• - I wish to say a few words with regard to this clause, I think there is a great ,deal of truth in the remark which the gentleman who has just sat down (Mr, Gervais) made with regard to local habits and cus- toms and a d I think we should give con- siderable attention to these things. From the tone of the discussion I in- fer that hon. gentlemen on both sides theof House are fairly well agreed in regard to the general principles of Sabbath observance. The difficulty seems to be in the application of the details of the Bill, its different clauses and sections, the different localities and classes of people with whom we have to deal in the Dominion of Can- ada, This clause which we have un- der consideration at the present time seems to the to lack a very essential and broad principle that should go with it, and I think that the Bill might be so redrafted as to include that principle. To show that there is a broad principle which is not involved in the Bill at all, and one that would be acceptable to the various and dif- ferent portions of the Dominion, you will notice that a few days ago the hon. member for Brantford (Mr. Cock- shutt), who is a representative from Ontario, a Protestant and a Conserva- tive, seconded an amendment that was made by the hon. member for La- belle (Mr. Bourassa), who is a repre- sentative of Quebec, a Roman Catholic and a Liberal. Now, a principle that these two men could adopt would be a broadmei lr' e p p and it should have been included in the Bill ; the Bill has not been properly drafted or it would have embraced a principle which is as broad in its application as that. Again, the hon. member for Labelle (Mr. Bourassa), under certain condi- tions, was willing to accept an amend- ment proposed by the hon, member for Leeds (Mr. Taylor). That also shows that there is a broad principle which is not involved in it. It appears to nae that the Bill has far too many details, too many clauses and too many exceptions. It is improperly drafted. It is like an attempt to build a house from the top instead of the bottom. It seems to me that this Bill should have a great deal more local elasticity. It should be so constituted, so framed, that it would command the respect and the support of the public and of the local authorities in the dif- ferent parts of the Dominion. After all, they are the parties who must en- force and administer this law, if it is not to become a dead letter. I can see very easily that this Sabbath legisla- tion is a very, very difficult problem. Canada contains a great many differ- ent races and creeds. It is a very ex- tensive country. It is nearly as large as the whole of Europe ; in fact, it, is so extensive that it is larger than the six days in the week. It is so exten- sive that we might be punishing a poor Jew in Halifax for a crime which he had committed against Sabbath observance, while at the same time, owing to the difference in time, the people of Vancouver or Victoria could be going about their daily labors. People in Vancouver would still have r four hours of the Saturday on their hands when the people of Halifax would be observing the Sabbath, and when parties there might be made criminals for breaking the Sabbath. That shows that there must be a cer- tain amount of local elasticity in this Bill, It must be broad enough at least to make four hours difference in the application of the Bill. I believe the Bill should be so re- drafted as to suit the different provin- ces. I might say that I am perfectly sure that in the part of Ontario which t I have the honor to represent the peo- ple will never be satisfied with a Lord's Day Bill that actually legalizes i and permits games of baseball, cricket, t football, hockey, golf, and so on. They will never be satisfied with that. It will be very difficult for them to appreciate the fine line which appears rears PP 11 to be drawn between games played for t amusement and those played for gain. My opinion is that we must have a i certain amount of local elasticity in t this Bill,and T think that the ne 1 present discussion and the amendment which is suggested in connection with this n clause will result in that being secured. p There are other parts of the Dominion c where theya • • not so strict in e to regard these things as in my constituency, t and I can see very well by the discus- sion, so far as it has gone, that even c the members of this House are not n aware of the changing conditions that I exist in different parts in regard to t the keeping of the Sabbath day. I know there is a great difference in the t rules and regulations with regard to s keeping the Sabbath since I was a t boy, I ean,remennber for sixty years, 1 and I can well remember how strictly a it was kept then. There has been a r great change in the last ten years, and a there is 00 doubt that is one reason t thsorigidlykept s why tint. Sabbath is not l to -day. It is right that the Sabbath s should be observed and kept by differ- a ent people in the different localities e according to their religions and their c conscientious convictions. The local :authorities in the different parts of 1 the Dominion should be given some 1 little liberty in regard. to the enforce- rent of this law, for, as I said, it can t never be enfon'ced unless it has the • c sympathy mid support of those who e are to administer it. I ant like the t hon, member for Halton (i%fr. Ilendar- son), if I had uty way 1 would llko to a see this legislation kept as near to th fourth commandment as possible, But I do not wish to impose my opinion on others who have different ideas. I was in the city of Quebec not very long ago on the Sabbath day, and I was very much pleased to see, during the forenoon, how strictly the Sabbath was kept. It was far better kept in the city of Quebec up to one o'clock in the day than it is kept in the city of Toronto. I do not say any- thing about the way it was kept after- wards. But let us have some regard for local conditions. We cannot put the same coat on every man in this House, If you tried to put my coat on the hon. member for Brockville (Mr. Derbyshire) he would think that be had got into a strait -jacket, while seine other members of the House might feel in the same coat like the Irishman who said his coat fitted him all over and never touched him. That is the way with this Bi11. We must not try to make a cast iron Bill that will suit. everybody. On the other hand if the government try to please everybody they will please nobody. Now if we leave aside the religious question altogether. We should have a day of rest, nature requires a day of rest. We may break the laws of the land and avoid detection and punish- ment, but if we break the laws of nature there -is no way of escape, we must pay tie penalty. There is an- other thing. If we do not enforce a careful observance of the Sabbath in different localities according to the opinions of the people who reside there, the millionaires and monopo- lists in this country will soon have things manipulated • in such a way that the poor man will be compelled to labour seven days in the week to obtain a living. He will be given no time to prepare for the future, either of this world or the next. The great corporations appear to be the princi- cipal objectors to this Bill, and I am not sure bat we have yielded to them too much. I believe the Bill is im- properly drafted so far as their in- terests are concerned, At the same time, we must remember that, as has often been said, corporations have no souls, no consciences and no hereafter, therefore I suppose we need not as- sume that they have very many scru- ples in regard to a matter like this. Their altar is a golden one, dedicated to money and larger dividends. On it must be sacrificed every lofty princi- ple, every tender sentiment and every religious scruple. A strict observance of the Sabbath interferes with trade and the accumulation of money, and therefore I suppose it too must be sacrificed. Now a strict observance of the Sab- bath is not only a religious but a phy- sical necessity. No nation has long continued to prosper that has not ob- served it. Think of the mental, the moral and the physical differences which separate the Sabbath keeping Scot from the heathen nations of the east. The ancient Jews and Israelites were physically and morally far above their surrounding and contemporary satious, and at the time of the cru- sades, one Christian soldier was con- sidered a match for three or four Sar- acens. We all know that Cromwell's Sabbath -keeping Ironsides were sim- ply invincible. At the time the peo- ple of Fiance fell into infidelity and revolution, they made an effort to establish every tenth day a clay of rest, but they were soon compelled to return to -the keeping of the Sabbath. At the time gold was discovered in California it was proved conclusively that during the overland journey of nearly 3,000 miles, those who rested during the Sabbath day not only reached their destination sooner, but n far better condition than those who ravelled seven days in the week, Then take the ease of the modern Jew uvho has been in the habit of keeping not only our Sabbath hut his own also ; I am sure it is a • +ll well known fact hat he is able to save more money in five days of the week than an ordinary van can in six or seven. So well is his known that to be as rich as a Jew urs become aproverb. ! However, I fear that as the Bill is ow drafted, unless there are iln- rovectents made in it, some of the lames will open the gate for those who wish to desecrate and dishonour he Lord's day. The original Bill was weak enough surely, but it was strong =pared with the emasculated rem - ant of it that is presented torts to -day, think the government should redraft his Bill entirely, and I am sure that with the immense majority they have, hey could well do so, 1 would. like to ee it made so as to fit a little better he different localities and to snit a ittle better the different opinions that re abroad. I think with the inn- sense: majority the government have, nd with the concurrence of gentle - nen on this side of the house, they Mould be able to etc more and give urs ometlting a little better than this, in nswer to the enormous number of eeriest petitioners, belonging to every reed and denomination in Canada, N have asked for stricter Sabbath egislation. I will support the 13111 re- nctanntly even now, but, only ott the principle that' half a lost! is better ban no bread, and because a few rumba are better than. nothing. But Mainly es it stands now, I do not hink that it will give satisfaction to any part of the country, and 1 a111 sire that it will not give satisfaction to. Canada in general. I think it should be remodelled and *east, and I have no doubt that it can be utade acceptable to the different localities, The different localities must be con- suited, because they have different opinions and different ideas in regard to the Sabbath, We are a Christian people on certain broad general prin- ciples, but those general principles upon which we are all agreed are not in the Bill at all, as is shown by a 0 reference made to the amendment proposed by the hon, member for La- belle (bin, Bourassa), while a num- ber of minor and irritating details are put in the Bill. In section 3 you have a number of exceptions under nearly all the letters of the alphabet, and I ant afraid that after you get through with this Bill, you will have so many amendments that you will require all the figures besides, to indicate the ut n tuber of exceptions that will be asked for. I think the Bill should be redrafted. It is at present badly drafted and incongruous, and I do not think it will give satisfaction. Walkerton. Mr. R. H. McKay has been instruct- ed by the Government to receive ten- ders for renovating and repairing the Post Office here. In 1905 Bruce County Council spent thirteen thousand dollars on roads and bridges. The Councillors expense accounts for expending the same amounted to $1020.09. This looks like an extravagant system. The Grand Trunk officials have de- cided to erect a new station here on the site of the old one. The new station is to be similar to the one at Harriston which is one of the finest structures of the kind in this part of the Province. The government's arrangement with the Canadian Bankers' Associa- tion for the deportation of United States silver terminated Saturday, and it is stated at the Walkerton banks that the implied reason for the decision to stop further deportation is, that the work has made no appre- ciable change in the demand for Cana- dian silver. The contract for grading the new branch of the 0. P. R. from Proton Station or near that point, to Walk- erton, has been let. Work will be commenced very soon at both ends of this section -viz. at Walkerton and work eastward through Hanover and Durham, and at Proton working westward. From the Walkerton end, the road will be extended through Formosa to Teeswater. The station at Walkerton will probably be erected either on P. Heffernan's lot south of the foundry, or on the exhibition grounds. Teeswater. The 32nd Regiment appears to have made a very good record at the an- nual training. Although they did not conte home with any trophies, the general standard was very high. We have heard on what seems very good authority that Mr. Varson has disposed of the Vendome property to Mr. Dick Harrison. The deal was put through a short time ago at P.ss.;na, where Mr. Verson is at present. A. McKinnon, of Kinloss township, sold last week to Mr. Corbett, of Tees - water, a two year old gelding raised by P. J. Brown, of Tiverton and bred by A. M. Polley's heavy draught stal- lion Lochinvar, for the handsome figure of $285 ; the colt weighed 1780 pounds. Teeswater has had many a success- ful Dominion Day Celebration, but never before did so many circum- stances conspire to make a day of field games and sports so completely satis- fying to all concerned as on Monday hast. And it is safe to say that never before did a crowd gather here dis- perse better satisfied with a day's pro- ceedings. Already a few fields of hay have been cut and within a week the hay harvest will be in full swing. The crop is fair though not quite np to the heavy crops of the past three years. The fall wheat fields are turning yel- low. Those that ha.t wereg nod in the spring are still in good condition and a few are considered np to anything ever seen in the locality. Spring grains, roots and corn are looking well. WESTERN FAIR, LONDON. The Western Fair of London, Ont., will be held this year Sept. 7th to kith. Over three thousand prize lists and several hundred hangers have already been mailed, and the Large posters will be sent out in a few days.

Entries are coating in ' <mite fast and space is being alloted accordingly.
