THE WINGHAM .ADVANCE TIIURSDAX, JULY 19, 1906 A DrESTRUCTiVE STORM. (Orangeville Banner) 'What was probably the worst storm of the kind in the history of the coun- ty, ,occurred on Satnrday afternoon, 7th inst., visiting sections of Amar- anth and Mono •townships, The hail area covers the whole of the first con- cession in Amaranth from the vicinity of 15 side road to lot 23 eight lots far- ther north. The east side of the farms in the second concession in the same township and the west side of some of the fntaus on the Mono side of the towuline also suffered, but not to the sante extent. Thrnont the de- vastated section windows were brok- en, fowl killed, trees denuded of their leaves and grain crops mown clown and flattened into the ground. After the storm, which lasted only a short time, had passed, the ground was covered with hailstones, some of them three and four inches in circumfer- ence. So heavy was the downfall, that the stones could be gathered up by shovelfuls even at nightfall and early on Sunday forenoon, At the side of Charles Anderson's barn, where they had accuuuilatecl from the roof, they had not disappeared on Monday. The storm broke on the southern edge of the devastated area with a brisk fall of ordinary white sleet and ended in the same manner at the north. John S. Spence, ex -reeve of• Amar- anth and at present one of the mem- bers of the County Council, was one of the worst sufferers. He had 130 acres in crop and will not have 10 acres worth cutting. Every pane of glass on the south and west sides of his house and barns was broken by the storm. Chas. Anderson, who has a 200 acre farm just south of Spence's place, fared very little better. His crop and hayfields are in ruins and 26 panes of glass were smashed in his dwelling. The hail was heaviest in the 1st con. from 15 to 20 sideroads and it is doubt- ful if there is a field of grain that will be worth cutting in the whole thou- sand acres. Chickens, goslings, hens and even geese that were unable to get under shelter were battered to death. Peas were mown down and flattened into the earth, and in some places scarcely a vestige of the straw was left on the surface. Turnips, potatoes and barley fields were utter- ly ruined. FOR SALE. -Lot 18, con. 7, Turn - berry, one hundred acres, nearly all cleared ; in grass many years ; good soil and well watered. Terms to suit purchaser. -H. DAVIS, Wingham. The well known druggist, A. L. Hamilton, has been appointed special agent for the sale of Dr. Agnew's Heart Cure, Catarrhal Powder, Oint- inent and Pills as well as South Ameri- can Nervine, Kidney Cure and Rheu- uratic Cure. 29-2 Walkerton. Mr. Alex. Haas has signed the con- tract for building the new Hospital wing. The building and equipment will cost over $5,000. The contractor has commenced the work. Alex. Ernst charges the town $1.50 for burying a dog and $1 for burying a cat. One of our mathematicians has figured out that at the above rates the town would go broke if Alex. had to bury an elephant. The Grand Trunk are erecting a sta- tion here near the site of the former structure which was destroyed by fire. The new station will have two wait- ing rooms, for ladies and gents respec- tively, and a ticket office. Another building willshortly be erected for freight and baggage. The contract for the 0. P. R. branch has been let from Walkerton to Flesh- erton, or a point near Flesherton, and the work of construction will begin inside of eight days. The contractors are Randolph & McDonald, of Toroni to, and they are bound to have the road ready for the cars by the first of July next year. Every person in this community will be delighted to hear that Miss Mc- Knight, the efficient Lady Superinten- dent at tho Bruce General Hospital, has decided to remain here instead of going to Guelph to fill a like position at the general hospital there. The latter had been offered her at a con- siderable increase of salary, which she decided to accept. )t. t e at firs1 A few weeks ago a female child, four weeks old, was found lying beside the railway t track near Ghesle Y The child bore evidence of violent death, its mouth having been burned with carbolic acid. A girl named Maggie Murphy, of Owen Sound, has plead• ed guilty to throwing it out of the car window, bet denies murdering it. She is now in Walkerton gaol, awaiting g trial. She claims to have applied at several Children's Aid Societies, and at several institutions in Detroit and Toronto, with the object in view of getting the youngster placed in their care, Her attempts proved unsuccess- ful, and while on her way home to Owen Sound she Was prompted to commit the deed that is supposed to have resulted in the child's death. .d.

Ooderieh August cath NA been proclaimed civic holiday in Mitchell, when the annual Sunday School ol ex nto n will be run to Goderich. The first section of the (Guelph and Goderich .Railroad was opened for passenger and freight services on July 12th by the running of trains. between Guelph and 2 1inira, Tho distance is about 16 miles, with one station inter- vening, Weissenburg. A number of officials accompanied the trains, Registrar Coats is a lover of roses, and owns about 800 varieties, He has converted the wild waste ground in the rear of the registry office into a nice plot with some 200 rose bushes, and will have many more once the groan(' is free from noxious weeds, some of which are very hard to ex- terminate. The immunity which the town has enjoyed for some months from any- thing like a serious fire was suddenly broken early on Tuesday morning by the burning of the Harbor Lumber Mill, How the fire caught is unknown but it was first discovered near the engine, and front the nature of the building, of course made rapid pro- gress. The mill equipment was very good, and the fire is especially unfor- tunate coming at this season when the company were very busy. The insur- ance carried is supposed to be in the neighborhood of $8,000, and the loss will probably exceed this somewhat. The Kintail charivari and shooting case came up last Tuesday for pre- liminary hearing. The following young men, Jno. Sullivan, Jas. Keane, Elliott Drennan, Geo. Drennan, James Griffin, M. McCreight, James Bowler, Thomas Parrish, Charles Taylor and Harry Young, all of Ashfield, were brought up on remand before the Police Magistrate, charged with un- lawfully wounding. to which, through their counsel, Messrs. Proudfoot, F. G. Blair, J. L. Killoran and I. 0. John- ston, they severally pleaded not guilty. After hearing of the evidence, the young men were sent up for trial to the first court of competent juris- diction. :1: Dropped All Others. "I dropped all liniments but Nervi - line because I found Nerviline the quickest to relieve pain," writes E. S. Benton of St. John's. "If my child- ren are croupy or sick, Nerviline cures them. If a case of cramps or stomach ache turns up, Nerviline is ever ready. We use Nerviline for neuralgia, rheu- matism and all kinds of aches and pains ; it's as good as any doctor." The great Canadian remedy for the past fifty years has been Poison's Ner- viline-nothing better made. • Clinton. The building on the corner of Hur- on and Albert streets lately secured by the Sovereign Bank people, is to be remodelled in a manner which will make it a thoroughly up-to-date banking office. The bicycle belonging to Rev. Mr. Magee was recovered last Thursday, through the influence of Mr. Joseph. Wheatley. It had been taken by a youth of town, who was compelled to return it, and apologize for what he had done. Mr. S. S. Cooper has the contract for the general improvements to be made to the new Sovereign Bank building, and has sublet part of the work. The interior fittings will he made by the Canada Furniture Co. of Preston. Mr. Hiram Hill is building the vault, which is said to be the larg- est of its kind in western Ontario. On Sunday while Mr. and Mrs, J. W. Moore and daughter,htor , Miss Merle, were visiting friends in the country, a dog caught the child by the heel, sink- ing his teeth through the shoe and embedding them in the flesh so firmly that it would not for a time relinquish its hold. She was taken to a doctor and the wound dressed, and is now re- covering from the injury. The dog was shot. A few days since a man from Sea - forth, on his way to Belgrave, entered Clinton station for the purpose of pur- chasing a ticket. He placed his poc- ket -book on the window ledge, and had occasion to tarn away for a mo- ment. When he turned back the pocket -book was gone, and not the slightest trace of it conkl be found, al- though Mr. Pattison, agent, rendered every assistance in trying to locate the thief. The loser had to borrow enough money to continue his jour- ney. Y A special officer from the License 11 Department, Toronto, made an 1 , en- quiry into license matters in town last Friday. Among others present were two of the commissioners, the inspector and a number of citizens. Several gave testitnony 1t favor of the Hotel Normandie under its pre- sent management, while others again were just as strongly opposed. A petition was also presented. The facts laid down have been sent to the Department which will decide the matter. ' t Physically Exhausted.

A large number of farmers regard the buying of feed as a sign of Improvidence, If not actually criminal, says a writer in Ohio Varner. Visit almost any farm and one finds stock of some kind that, to Use the general term, Is being "roughed" for lack of time, shelter or feed or the lack of proper feed, and the excuse given Is, as a rule: "We feed them only corn. We know they should have some bran, oats or oilmeal, but we cannot afford to buy it, and we have plenty of corn. We grow this ourselves." The most important lesson the writer ever learned was from his experience in feeding dairy cows. We had for years fed and practiced the "feed only what you raise" theory, and at the end of the year found but meager, if any, profit, and were forced to change our methods or work for the fun we could get out of raising feed. Instead of continuing to play at a losing game we discarded this method and raise such crops as are best adapt- ed to our soil, no matter what they are, and then buy the elements lacking in our home grown feeds. I buy a load of bran, oilmeal or cot- tonseed meal, knowing that when fed to balance a ration with our home grown grains, etc., it enhances the feed value of our grain from 50 to 100 per cent. Cooking the Mille. The main thing is to cool the milk quickly to a temperature of 50 de- grees or less, and it would pay the dairyman to provide ice for this pur- pose. In driving through the country in the early morning you will observe near the well at different farms a can of milk placed in a half barrel, where there is not room for more than a cou- ple of pails of water, which would not be sufficient to properly cool the milk, and unless this is quickly done the germs that may have got into it will have a chance to develop before it gets cooled to that point where their growth is retarded, -J. G. Moore, Wisconsin. To Get the Moat Ont of the Churn. Taking the barrel churn as best for the farm buttermaker, he should know how to get the most out of it. In this form of churn the concussion of the cream necessary to do the churning is secured by the fall Of the cream as the churn is revolved. The faster the churn Is revolved the greater number of concussions per minute will be se- cured. But if the churn is whirled so fast that the centrifugal force created holds the cream from failing no churn- ing will take place. II 11 Dairy Talk of Today i Ownership of pure bred stock yields a profit, rouses up ambition, stimulates pride and lifts the man out of the rut of average conditions. What Some Holateiners Say. "When in doubt put on a herd of Holstein -Friesians. They will do the rest," remarks an enthusiast. Bight months old and weighing 832 pounds is the record of a Holstein calf owned by Abner Van Hooser of Port Byron, N. Y., says Holstein -Friesian Register. No other dairy cow can dig so good a profit out of average condi- tions as can the Holstein. Her vigor- ous constitution, great staying quali- ties and capacity for turning rough- age into dairy products eminently fit her for average conditions. - W. C. Huntington. Big Factor In a Record. It is well said there are three impor- tant factors leading to a great record of a cow -first, the man; second, the cow; third, the feed. We are not sure but it may be safely said that the man. Is the greatest factor of the three, says Maine Farmer. Hitch High. Let the average man keep average cows and make the average products and profits. Better hitch your wagon to a higher star. Are Yon In the Wootiett No, you can't afford to run a dairy without ltnowing where you're at, and you are probably in the woods if you don't weigh the feed and milk occa- sionally. Do it. It's interesting and well worth while. -A. J. McGuire. Far Sight Needed. The dairy farmer must be a far- sighted man. The calves of today are the milkers of tomorrow. If these milkers are going to be up to par, spe- cial attention must be given to their breeding and care, remarks Kimball's Dairy Farmer. The Making of a g i High ScoringHerd. Ilyd n Commenting at a recent stock breed- ers' meeting on a certain Minnesota herd, W. I. Hoard said: So far as we can learn, this high scoring herd was Constructed and brought to its present state of good profit by the owner being a good judge of cows in purchasing and following that up by a most ex- cellent understanding of how to care for and feed a cow after he got her. Of course, added to this was the proc- ess of elimination or weeding out of poor cows, which is one of the most important of all processes connected With the management of a dairy herd. Sernbi. There aro a great many scrub cow keepers, as there Are scrub cows, and both should be weeded out. The only mans who can aford to board a scrub is one who has nothing to lose.

They say there are no lands for homesteaders nearer the railways than t about 30 miles. In some way companies have got hold of the best lands and are holding them at prohibitive prices, and the result is that the majority of houteseekers are forced to hire with those who have the capital, and wages are low. For- eigners can be hired at exceedingly small wages and they claim there is no show for any one without consider- able capital.
