Under local option the number is. eonstantly increasing, --20 property holder's in Fergus have agreed to become liable to the extent of $125 each, on the guarantee attached to loan of $2500 by the municipality to James Gow. Bohn Topham of Proton has commenced mining on the bank of the river and has succeeded in unearthing something, whether diamonds, rubies, radium or silver it is not known, but reports say that a sample sent to the Government analyst is worth $0.00 per ounce. --After a long period of dormancy, there is a prospect that the Harriston Packing house may soon resume operations. An offer of $38,000 by the Win. Davies Co., of Toronto has been accepted by the directors of the company, subject to the approval of the shareholders, —The total vote polled in Canada at the Dominion elections was under 800,000. Liberals had 53 per cent. of the vote polled, the Tories 47 per cent. Liberal majority of votes about 50,000. Apart from the Province of Quebec the Liberals have a majority of 11,000 votes in the other Provinces. —A fire occurred in West Luther about two miles west of Monticello on Friday night, when a fine new barn on the farm owned by Thos, Gibson and leased by Thos. Smith, was de- stroyed. Mr. Smith lost all his imple- ments, all his feed, and the larger part of his crop, and has only about $100 insurance. London, Nov. 28.—Speculation in consols and Kaflirs at the close of the Boer war drove Rothschild's bullion buyer to fraud. He was head of ore of the departments of the Wood Street Smelting Works, which were operated as a gold refinery. Blumen- thal adulterated the gold, and made by this means £50,000. —Dr. Hodgins, of the Provincial Board of Health, reports that the Province is entirely free of smallpox, and has been for two months. Vac- cination in the lumber camps has been thoroughly carried out. There were over 300 men in one of the largest concerns vaccinated under the direction of the Board. --The Owen Sound district will be thoroughly tested for oil and gas by the Owen Sound Natural Gas and Oil Co, A meeting of the directors of the company was held on Tuesday even- ing when it was decided to push the sale of stock and as soon as enough had been subscribed that five or six wells be drilled in the territory around. Owen Sound. Over 15,000 acres are now under oil lease. Ottawa, Nov. 28. --With a view to preventing a recurrence of the recent tragedy in the Sarnia tunnel, Chief Engineer Mountain, of the Railway Commission, has been inspecting the Baltimore and Ohio tunnel and the New York subway. The former has a length of 7,000 feet, a thousand longer than the Sarnia tunnel, and a continu- ous grade of eight -tenths of one per cent. Engines operated by electricity, each weighing 160 tons, are used for drawing the traffic through the tun- nel, so that there is no risk to human life from the escape of gases. The probability is that the Grand Trunk, in spite of the greatly increased ex- pense, will adopt electricity as the rnotive power through the Sarnia tun. nel in place of steam. DAIRY NOTES, Always milk in the same order, and at the same time of day. When it conies a cow's turn to be milked, she knows it, and expects it, and wants to be milked. Always milk the cow dry before Ieaving her, but do not continue strip- ping after the milk is all drawn. Rave the byre clean, and have the cow clean, or you can't get clean milk. Lime and whitewash for walls and posts are good. Always milk a cow in the same manner, at about the sante time and speed. Any change will tend to ir- ritate and excite her. There should always be a friendly feeling between the cow and the milk- er, and milkers should not be chang- ed, if it can be avoided, After a little manipulation of the teats and udders, the milk is ready to "come down." Then is the time to take it, and do not delay. No definite rule can be given as to how the teats should be handled in milking, as cows differ, and hands dif- fer so much, bat be sure of one thing —please the cow if possible. If yoi't disappoint a coW, and Snilk half an hour later, the chances are that you get less and poorer milk than if you milked at the proper time. Catarrhal Deafness Is Canned By a thickening of the lining mem- brane of the middle ear owing to pro- longed inflammation from catarrhal germs. The only cure is frttgrtut Healing Catarrllozono one which is carried by air yotr breathe to the remotest parts of the throat and ears ; It reaches the source of the trouble and cures deafness permanently. Every sufferer from impaired hearing should try Catarrlrozone which has effected wonderful cures. You siml ' ly breathe its healing medicated vapor very easy and pleasant. Do this and your hearing will be restored. Cal tar•rhozone never fails; it is gttitletli teed. Two months treatment for $1.00 at druggists.
