—The Ontario Temperance Legisla-
tion League is moving for a referen-
dum on fairer conditions than the last
one, about a year hence.
—Stratford ratepayers will likely
vote on a by-law to grant the 0. P. R.
a $25,000 bonus to go toward the buy-
ing of right of way for the 0. P. R. on
the north side of lake and river.
—The Grand Trunk is greatly im-
proving the line between Wiarton and
Pahnorston. All the wooden bridges
are to be re -placed with iron, and tho
roadbed placed in first-class shape.
--Construction work on the Guelph
and Goderich Railway line is progress-
ing most satisfactorily with the favor-
able weather conditions. The line
will be finished and in operation by
Jan. 1, 1906, if the present success con-
tinues.
—The farm belonging to the estate
of the late B. Higgins, lot 13, con. 2,
Usborne, was on Saturday sold by
public auction to Mr. R. Welsh, who
resides on the adjoining ferns, The
price paid was $6,300. A few hundred
dollars spent on the buildings would
make this farm second to none in the
Province.
—The G. T. R., have made plans for
the erection of a new depot at Exeter.
The depot would have been built last
year, but owing to the Exeter Board
of Trade asking that the railroad be
brought nearer town, the building
was postponed, The depot to be built
this year will be just across the track
from the site of the present struc-
ture.
—A more than usually interesting
event took place in Exeter on the 6th
inst.,when eno
twofthe oldest •es'
residents
were united in marriage, in the per-
sons of Mr. Daniel Kernick, formerly
of Usborne township, and Mrs.
Martha Brewer. Both Mr. and Mrs.
Kernick have lived longer:than the al-
lotted number of years, being over
70 years of age, and during their long
lives have always been highly respect-
ed.
—A, few"' weeks ago the death of
Francis Clelland, a former resident of
the 4th con. of Culross, was reported.
This week we have to mention the
departure of his wife, whose death
occurred on the 7th inst. Mr. Clelland
had reached the age of 76 years and
11 months, his wife died at the age of
60 years and 2 months. The remains
of Mrs. Clelland were interred in Tif-
fin's cemetery, Kinloss, beside those
of her
late husband.
—An accident occurred one day last
week to a freight train between Strat-
ford and Goderich, near Dublin. A
defective switch caused four cars of
coal to leave the rails. The breaking
of the train was not noticed by the
crews on the engines and the short-
ened train with the last car thereof
derailed, was run through to Seaforth
leaving in its wake six miles of the
sorriest looking track that could possi-
bly be imagined. Ninety tons of the
coal had to be carried up the embank-
ment before the wreck could be
cleared.
Winnipeg, April 12.—Manitoba will
require the help of 90,000 new -comers
to help on the seeding, haying and har-
vesting this year. Such is the opinion
of J. J. Golden, Government immigra-
tion agent. Last year 50,000 were
needed. There is no falling off in the
quantity of settlers' effects arriving
here, and ahead the number of cars
is almost up to the total for last year.
The more pleasing feature is the num-
her who are coming from Eastern Ca-
nada, and the Eastern States, where
the movement is spreriding with
rapidity.
—On Tuesday of last week the sad
death took place on Thames Road, Us -
borne, of Violetta A. Russell, beloved
wife of Mr. John Ratcliffe, and daugh-
ter of Mr. Thos. Russell, of Exeter, at
the age of 25 years and 8 months.
About a month ago twin children
were born to Mr. and Mrs. Ratcliffe,
and the mother, it was thought, had
fully recovered, and she attended
church on Sunday last. On Monday
she was as well as usual but was taken
suddenly ill on Tuesday, ancl although
everything possible was done, she
died shortly after.

The Clinton News Record says --•111r.
Alf. Asquith, license inspector for
West Huron, is making a tour of the
hotels in the riding preparatory to the
meeting of the commissioners to be
held in Clinton on Thursday of next
week. 'rite Government has issued
instructions that the law governing
licenses must he strictly adhered to
and that if there are any licensees who
cultivate .only the bar and neglect.
other parts of their houses, they are
to be admonished that they trust keep

Asquith is, we understand, calling the
attention of some dealers to a few
deficiencies,
—On Monday of last week there
died at his home on the 13th con. of
Culross, a well known and respected
fernier in the person of Wm, Heath.
Deceased was 65 years of age, but ow-
ing to several years of ill health had
the appearance of a much older man.
During the winter he had thought of
going to California but be had not suf-
ficient strength to stand the journey.
He had been somewhat of a wanderer
and had visited California no less than
seven times. The first time, during
the years of excitement over the dis-
covery of gold on the Pacific coast,
the trip was made by the overland
route. He leaves behind a widow,
formerly Mrs. Taylor. The funeral
took place on Wednesday to Smith's
cemetery.
Ponetanguishene, Ont., April 13.—
A double murder was committed in
Penetatnguishene last night. Mrs.
Maggie Desroches, aged fifty years,
and her daughter Annie, aged four-
teen years, were horribly murdered
and their bodies thrown into a -hole
under the floor of the house, both be-
ing deprived of every article of cloth-
ing. The culprit or culprits, after
making a poor attempt at cleaning up
A
the
floor, left the axe with which v itch the
cringe had' been committed and
the bloody clothes on the floor. Con-
stable McLaughlin has charge of the
case. Coroner Walbridge, Midland,
has arrived and will open an inquest
this afternoon. Suspicion rests on
Mrs. Desroches' son, aged twenty
years, who lived with the murdered
woman, the young man having made
a number of contradictory state-
ments.

Goderich.
The • Goderich Organ Co. is shipping
a car load of seats and also a car load
of organs to Liverpool, Eng.
The Goderich Engine Company the
past week shipped an engine and boil-
er to Wiarton, a boiler to Port Arthur
and a brick machine to Ottawa.
Alex. Cooper had men engaged for
the past week cleaning the debris from
his burned grain warehouse, so as to
be ready to make an early start in its
re -building.
The steamers Majestic, of the North-
ern Navigation Co., and King Edward,
of the Algoma Central line, will make
Goderich a port of call this season.
Wm. Lee has received definite infor-
mation to this effect, and Goderich is
assured of a good steamboat connec-
tion for the coining summer.
On Monday while Arthur, youngest
son of Otter 'Wilson, of Goderich tp.,
was out shooting, his rifle accidentally
went off, and the bullet with which it
was charged entered his side and pass-
ing upwards is supposed to have rest-
ed in his lungs, but at last report its
position had not been exactly located.
Mr. Wilson is seriously t
ill but great
hopes are entertained for his recovery.
It looks as if those who bet that
trains would be running over the C.
P. R. to Toronto from Goderich the
coining fall, will be losers. as the im-
mense quantity of earth to move,
abutments for bridges to lie built, lay-
ing of tracks and building fences are
much too heavy jobs to be completed
inside of six months. The contractor
has quite a number of men and teams
working along the line.
On Tuesday a married woman nam-
ed Richards, who with her husband
lives on the Britannia Road, claimed
to have been assaulted with criminal
intent by a num named Jas. Atkins.
The scrap or whatever it was, was ap-
parently the outcome of drink, and
the woman's appearance when she
eame up town was most shocking. A
warrant was issued and Atkins ar-
rested; he was committed,
Until lastweekthose t lose interested had
been unable to locate the corner stone
in the old Methodist church building
now being demolished, but on Tues-
day, George Acheson, who had just
arrived from California, pointed it ant
and on being opened it was foted to
contain the articles deposited therein
forty-six years ago. They were in
fairly good condition, however, and
were quite readable. The name of R.
W. McKenzie, still a prominent mein-
ber of the church, appears on the list
of officers at that time. The member-
ship of the church then numbered
seventy.

20, 1905,
The ability to utilize food profitably
and convert it into milk and butter is
an individual characteristic in which
there is •an immense variation among
COWS.
The difference lu the profits from
keeping good, medium and poor cows
has been strikingly illustrated by the
experiment statlona in their herd rec-
ords and in various feeding experl-
wents.
Thus a bulletin of the Utah station
giving the record of fifteen COWS for
one year shows that the cost of the
food eaten for each hundred pounds of
milk produced varied with different
cows from 20.48 to 52.07 cents. The
cost of food per pound of butter ranged
from 5.91 to 11.8 cents in the case of
different cows, and with butter at 20
cente a pound the net profit per cosy
for one year ranged all the way from
$14.71 to $51.37. The cows were coin -
mon native and grades selected with
considerable care.
A recent experiment of the Pennsyl-
vania station touches on this point.
Nine cows, mostly Jerseys and grade
Guernseys, were fed in an experiment
lasting 150 days. The difference bo-
tween tbe profit from the best cow and
the poorest cow during 150 days was
$33.10. The cost of the food was very
nearly as much for the poorest asfor
the best cow, but the value of the prod-
uct from the best cow was $04.32,
while that from the poorest cow was
only $28.06, This gave a net profit of
$37.65 from the best cow and only
$4,55 from the poorest cow.
These figures emphasize the impor-
tance of keeping a record of the differ-
ent cows of the herd so ns to know
which of the cows are being kept at n
good profit and which are only barely
paying their keeping and thus
be able
to weed out the unprofitable stock and
improve the herd.—Cheese and Dairy
Journal.
Improving the Dairy Herd.
I do believe there is untold benefit to
be derived from grading and that this
is the way to improve the average dai-
ry stock and also to make a market for
pure bred bulls. No matter how poor a
herd a dairyman may have, the first
crop of calves from a pure bred size
will be half bloods or better and the
next generation three-fourths or bet-
ter. I cannot imagine how a dairyman
can improve his herd more surely or
more economically than by this meth-
od.—Professor Frazer of Illinois Uni-
versity.

DOLLY BLOOM.
world. This resord was commenced
when the heifer was but twenty-three
months old and closed on March 25,
1903. On Sept. 3, 1003, Dolly Bloom
gave birth to a bull calf. Ou Sept, 7
she commenced her second official test,
being then three years and five months
old. From that date to Sept. 6, 1904,
she gave 12,674.83 pounds milk, aver-
aging 5.07 per cent, containing 623.4
pounds butter fat. Dolly Bloom was
dropped April 14, 1000. She is owned
by P. Lathrop Ames of North Easton,
Mass.
Raise the Calves.
Keeping up the dairy herd by pur-
chase is at once expensive and unre-
liable. By far the better way is to
raise the heifer calves, which, if bred
from n good sire, ought to be superior
to their darns in production. A judI-
cious selection from this source, com-
bined with a rigid system of culling out
ail inferior animals, will result in greet
improvement in a few years' time. A
certain standard set up and adhered to
cannot fail of accomplishing the desired
result. Keep no cow which does not
approximate 300 pounds of butter in
a 3 -ear when matured. This standard
may seem high to the man who is feed-
ing cows which do not make 250
pounds, but It is none too high and can
easily be attained by a systematic
course of weeding out and grading up.
In fact, a better record even than that
is entirely possible to the man who
knows how to feed as well As breed
dairy animals.
Testing the Cows.
To determine exactly what a cow
produces in a year every millcingemust
bo weighed and sampled, but if the
herd is given a one week test every
three months it will be sufficient to
yield valuable results, All the appara-
tus necessary for this purpose is a
spring balance, as many common glass
fruit jars as there are Cows in the herd
and a four ounce bottle Babcock milk
tester. --Cor. Farm 'Visitor.
