OLIVER MILLS General Agent, Wingham. Teeswater. On going to the stable Monde morning Wm. Hutton found one o his dray horses dead in its stall. Chas. Stewart an old pioneer of IKin- loss died yesterday morning after a long illness. He was aged 87 years ands months and was one of the first settlers of the township. He leaves a widow, four sons and flue daugh- ters ; his death being the first break in the large family. • Mr. Andrew McKague has joined the ranks of the 'benedicts. He was married at 0 o'clock Tuesday evening to Miss Jennie Hill, only daughter of 142r. John Hill, Oth line east. Rev. D. Tait officiated at the home of • the bride's father's father in the presence of about sixty guests, relatives and friends of the contracting parties. ars, Robt. Elliott, who for about three years bad been a resident on Mill street, north of the river, passed away early Monday morning, after suffering over a year from consump- tibn. For several weeks she had been very low so that the end was not unexpected. Mrs. Elliot was aged a little over 32 years and had been mar- ried about ten years. Her maiden name was Lillie Collins and her early home was at Gorrie, Brussels. y Frank, son of Jas. Drewe, formerly of Brussels, committed suicide at Win nipeg by sending a bullet through his brain. The deed was done it is sup- posed as a result of ill health. Mrs, Hugh Ramsay and son George, removed to Wingham this week to rejoin Mr, Ramsay, who recently pur- chased the Swarts livery there. We wise thein a pleasant and prosperous sojourn in Wingham. At a special meeting of Brussels Council on Monday evening to deal with the Good Roads Movement the following streets were designated :— Turnberry, Queen East, Mill West, Princess, William to Princess and Albert streets. The ideal should be nothing but first class, permament work. Good drainage, broken stone and workable method. Wednesday of last week Rev. H. M. Lang -Ford, rector of St. John's church, had the misfortune to have a rib broken. He was changing the position of the shafts on his cutter when the horse started, the corner of the dashboard striking hint in the side. Three or four years ago he had this same rib and a couple of others damaged. .. On day last week Alex. Strachan, Treas. of Brussels corporation, receiv- ed a letter with a type written address on the envelope, enclosing a blank sheet of paper inside of which was a $100 bill, a $2.00 and a $1.00. Why it was sent or from whom it came is a Chinese puzzle. The postof;ice stamp on theenvelope was not decipherable cipherable and Mr. Strachan has not the slight- est idea of whom the sender may be. :i: Never Cry Quits.

SOLD IW Geo, B. Green - Winghtun The Ililehigan experiment station has begun a very important line of work awl ono which deserves wide attention. In the fall of 1904 it purchased twenty grade Shorthorn cows, None of the an- imals contalu a large percentage of Shorthorn blood, yet they have enough t0lv b" a the evenness and uniformity sought in a foundation herd. The first year's report of this grade herd says: "In maintaining a grade dairy herd at this institution two chief ends are sought --Bret and foremost, to show ob- jectively how the common dairy stocks of this state can be improved as to quantity and quality of milk produc- tion by tt rational and continued sys- tem of up grading, and, second, to show the effect of careful feeding and Man- agement upon average, eommou or even iuferlor dairy animals. 'while the stocking of farms with pure bred dairy animals is desirable and strongly ad- vised, it is generally recognized that the great mass of improvement among dairy cattle must come frons intelli- gent up grading. In selecting the foun- dation stock for a grade dairy herd at- tention was given first to the health and general physical characteristics of each individual selected, "For breeding purposes the herd is divided into four groups or subherds of five, animals each, One of these groups is to be bred continuously to Jersey bulls and the female progeny bred in the same line, another group to be bred continuously to Holstein bulls and the female progeny in the same line. The third group is to be bred in the same way to Guernsey bulls and the fourth to shorthorn bulls." The average results of the herd are as follows: Milk, 0,259 pounds; butter, 298 pounds; cost of feed, $33.07; value of products, $09.05, and profit of over feed, $30.58. The poorest cow gave In the year 1,205 pounds of milk, forty-eight pounds of butter and was kept at a loss of 30.88. The most profitable cow gave 8,113 pounds of itt.ik, 422 pounds of butter - and return a net profit over feed consumed of 300.01. Despite the logic of 'these facts, which are different in no way from hundreds of other •instances where rec- ords have been kept, how few, very - few, farmers and breeders of pure bred .cattle think that it pays to test, says Hoard's Dalrynfan. What can a man do that will pay better? _ A Fine Holstein. The subject of the illustration, from Kimball's Dairy Farmer, is Genie Clothilde, 48,097, a registered Holstein - Friesian, owned by W. W.

At the age of four years and seven months she made seventeen pounds three -ninths ounces of butter in a week. At the age of five years and nine months her record was 21.G8 pounds of butter, and when seven years and one month oldshe s e made 22.0pounds you ds of butter. Study the Individual Cow. I see before me in this room men who have grown gray in the business, men who may be considered well off—rich— who do not owe anybody a dollar and have plenty to take care of them. They do not do much now. They have ceas- ed to work. Cows have made them well off. But those men have been good dairymen. They have been stu- dents of the dairy cow and have learn- ed the dairy busine,i from start to finish, They have learned that there is an individuality in the dairy cow, just as there is in men, in dogs or in trotting horses, just as much difference in the individual ability of dairy cows as there is in the ability of men, and that is where litany dairy farmers fail—in studying the individual cow. We do business with the herd and pay atten- tion to the cows collectively and not in- dividually. It seems to me that it is every dairyman's duty to study each 'cow in his herd. Every herd in this state has some good cows and some poor ones, and in many of ter herds the profit derived from good cows is lost in supporting the poor ones.—C. 1t, Everett at 'Wisconsin Dairymen's Con- vention. t Ilandling Silage. • For removing the silage from the silo I have found a common four tined ma- nure fork a most convenient tool, writes J. 1'. Fletcher in the National Stockman and Farmer. The larger the fork and 41 the closer together the tines are the 4 faster the work may be accomplished. 1' It Is important, however, that the sur- 4, face of the silage be left as nearly level 4 as possible and the amount removed i 4 from time to time simply be skimmed 'off the top to a depth of two or three 4. inches each day. It is never best to 4 thrust the fork down Into the silage 't' five or six inches as though it were ma- ,,, Imre you were pitching. Simply take 4 off the top layer in as Careful a man- . nes as possible, not loosening up more 'f • than Is taken out. to this way there 4' will be Considerably less waste f either 4. by molding or freezing. i ,. a 4,-- ._. 41: o 4.
