One of the most striking of the re- cords made by cows lately enrolled in the American advanced register for Holsteins, is that of a Holstein cow 18 years, 10 months, 21 days old at the time of cropping her last calf. In seven days she produced 418.4 pounds of milk, containing 13,611 pounds fat, an average of 59.8 pounds milk and nearly two pounds of fat per day. A. North Dakota man claims to have invented a machine that can be mov- ed down a row of shocks, threshing the grain as it goes.

One of the most valuable of all in- sects to know and to protect is the ladybug, says the New York Sun. The ladybugs live upon all forms of plant lice, and devour them by mill- ions. They often enter houses and seek out the larvae of the Buffalo moth or carpet beetle, so destructive to carpets and to woolens. The lady- bugs are oval in form, with red color- ing and with red and yellow spots upon their backs, They will be found crawling over the plants in the gar- den or upon trees that are infested with any forth of plant lice.

Born On A Train, An exciting event took place on a southbound train recently between Woodbridge and Weston, on the Owen Sound division. Mrs. Paper - nick, wife of a Hebrew merchant of Corbetton, was taken ill and gave birth to a child. Conductor Joe Walker who was in charge of the train, was aware that to carry two passengers for one fare was contrary to the rules of the C.P.R. but did not have the heart to put the young passenger off at the next sta- tion. Died in Goderich. On Friday last, Councillors Greer and W. F. VanStone attended the funeral of their uncle, Mr. Robt. Greer of Goderich, who passed away on Tuesday,• lOth inst. Deceased had been in failing health for some time and had reached his 67th year. He formerly resided in Gorrie. He leaves one son, Charles, editor of a Duluth paper, and one daughter, Mrs. Harri- son, with whom ho resided. Mr. Geo. Greer of Lucknow is a brother, and Mrs. Bentley of Blyth, a sister of de- ceased. To Clean Kid Gloves. Make a strong lather of white soap and new milk. Put one glove on the hand and use as soft brush or a fine piece of new flannel, keeping the strokes towards the end of the fingers. Apply until all the dirt disappears, then take a clean, soft towel and dab it till the soap is removed. Take the glove from the hand and blow it open to the fingers, then hang it up (with a bit of string put through the button hole) in a warm place where there is a current of air, When dry they will have regained their Dolor and will also be smooth and soft. Fon SALE.—A good story and a half frame house, with four rooms, pantry and woodshed down stairs, and four rooms up -stairs, hard water in wood- shed and soft in kitchen, Apply to Robt. Maxwell, Tailor. insect Pests. Just at this season of the year, those who have barclens begin to be troub- led with insects that destroy plants and vegetables. One of the greatest boons would be the discovery of ef- ficient methods and remedies, easily to be procured and of easy application, for the destruction of insects. This, however, is a difficult matter to ac- complish. The cabbage worms are abundant and destructive. Ono who has bad considerable experience says —I have warred against them with - tobacco water, saltpetre, alcohol, etc., in various Combinations, but finally settled upon an emulsion of kerosene and soap -suds as tate remedy, all things considered, the most satisfac- tory. Dissolve I pound of hard soap in k gallon of water by boiling, then remove from the fire, add 1 gallon of coal oil, and stir vigorously five to ton minutes, or until it becoiiies thick and creamy. This is the stock solution, and must be diluted to 15 or 20 times its bulk of water before using, For rose bushes use 20 to 25 times water to 1 of the stock solution, It should be applied as a fine spray. This mix- ture destroys all worms that become thoroughly wet with it, and sloes not injnre the plant, The kerosene is the insecticide, the object of the soap be- ing but to weaken it. There is one caution to be given. If repeated ap- plications of the mixture are made up- on the same plants, the snore tender varieties will be injured or destroyed. The growing cabbage furnishes so many hiding pieces for worms that one cannot hope to destroy them all with one application, however thor- oughly it may be made. The perfect remedy should destroy the worms wherever it touches them, and should not injure good growing plants In the least u ruler any number of appliea- tlons. Now is the time to place your order for Coal. If you leave your order at I. D. Burns' you will get the beet and at lowettt price. Killed A Horse. A boar belonging to John Knoll of the sixth of Brant was turned out Sunday into a field in which was a valuable horse, The boar charged the horse and ripped out its intestines with its tusks, killing the poor brute almost immediately, Farmers say they never heard of such a thing be- fore and don't know how to account for the action of the boar,—[Bruce Herald, Dn.

Mr, Finlay will receive much sympathy in the bereavement that has clouded his home, WANTED—At once, partner for Real Estate and Iusuranee business; must be a hustler. Apply personally to C. J. Maguire, Real Estate Agent, Wing - ham, Ont. The Horse Market. Farmers are paying more attention than formerly to this branch of farm stock, and it pays to do so. From the point of view of market value, there is no commodity in which during the past few years, a greater advance has been made than the horse. Ten years ago animals that could have been pur- chased for $50 or $I00 now command double those amounts, and even more. The prices realized during last week at the Repository and the Canadian Horse Exchange, are as follows :— Heavy draughts from $160 to $250 ; general purpose from $150 to $200 ; drivers from $125 to $225 ; delivery horses from $140 to $200 ; saddle hor- ses from $160 upwards ; carriage horses from $185 upwards. Encourage The Birds. The codling worm is the cause of greater loss to the apple industry than any other insect. The extent of the loss to Ontario alone runs up every year into the hundreds of thou- sands of dollars, and into the millions in the United States,—all because the remedies which have been discovered by the Entomologist have not been applied by the apple -growers. The plan is to poison the "Worms" with Paris Green or some other arsenic mixture before they enter the fruit. The trees should be sprayed (1) a few days 'after the blossoms fall ; and (2) about the middle of August for the second brooch of larvae. The practice of banding trees. is commendable, but everything taken into account is more expensive than spraying, and is more- over, actually harmful unless the bands are examined; and the larvae destroyed every ten days or two weeks during the latter half of June and all July. Every fruit grower should acknowledge the value of such birds as the Chickadee, Downey Woodpecker, Nuthatch, Bluebird, Swallows, Wren, and Song Sparrows in checking the increase of the Cod- ling Moth and injurious insects, for without them fruit could scarcely be grown. Encourage the birds, there- fore, to cisme about the orchard by keeping the gun at a distance, and by punishing the robber of birds' nests.

Mr. Howson addressed the Connell on renewal of water lease, expiring October next. The Company would like to have a lease for a term of years and as they proposed building a new flume and installing new waterwheels, they would like an answer at an early date, as the work would have to be clone in dry weather. The Council will consider the matter at an early date. The Canada Furniture Manufactur- ers asked that their assessment be placed at a fixed amount for ten years. If this was done, they would erect an addition to the Inion fac- tory, three storeys high, 64x70, with basement, and double the number of hands now employed there. After discussion of the proposition, it was moved and seconded by Conn's. Greer and D. Bell, that the Clerk prepare a By-law to that effect, to be con aidereed by the Council at a future Meeting ; motion prevailed, On motion of ('orn's. Bennett and VanStone, the reading of the By-law for improvement in Waterworks was deferred until a special meeting to be called to consider 13y -law for fixing assessment of Canada Furniture Mfrs., so that both By-laws can be voted on at the same time.

ROW, MOIS11)o0. $1.40 ,PER YEAR IN ADVANCE Wingham Methodist Church. The reports from the various de- partments of the'Wingllam Methodist Church, as presented at the Quarterly Board meeting 00 Monday evening last, were very satisfactory. The membership report showed a net in- crease during the year of 16, notwith- standing 78 removals and 0 deaths. The present membership is 516. The Epworth League, Sunday School and Junior League, showed satisfactory progress, especially along missionary lines, the senior and Junior Leagues reporting an increase of $50 in mis- sionary givings, and the Sunday School of over $20. The total mis- sionary contributions for the year amount to over $600, besides $72 for special objects, as Chentu hospital and Missionary Raley's personal account, The increase in the regular missionary offering is about $160. The Educa- tional and Temperance funds are more than three times those of last year, and the W. M. S. is also largely in ad- vance, amounting to $98.73. The La- dies' Aid have raised $503, and $1,500 have been paid on the mortgage of the • church. The mortgage debt has been reduced during the past two years from $6,000 to $1,400. About $600 was paid on the organ fund, paying off the balance of that debt and a note of $200 which had been running for a number of years has also been cancelled. All the other funds of the Church are in a satisfactory condition, The pastor was invited to remain another year. Have you had sickness in the home ; then your feather beds require cleans- ing.

No mixing of feathers by us ; every bed cleansed separately ; satisfaction always results. The Canada Feather Washing Co., Wingham. In all probability, the property- - owners of Wingham will be called upon at an early date to vote upon two By-laws, It is an acknowledged fact that our fire protection is not as complete or as reliable as it ought to be for the safety of the town, and an effort will be made to improve it. As it now stands, insurance rates are liable to be ad- vanced, as the Underwriters consider our system very defective. One of the By-laws to be submitted provides for the expenditure of $12,000 on the work referred to, com- prising : 1st --The construction of a new flume. 2nd --The erection of a standpipe on the hill within the eas- tern limits of the town. 3rd—The ex- tension of the watermaius to the standpipe, etc. The debentures will run for thirty years and the annual payment including interest and prin- cipal would be $736.70. The By-law sets forth that the present assessment of the town is $671,842, and that there are no arrears on the present existing debt. As the Advance pointed out a few weeks ago, this will not give us water for domestic purposes, but it will give first-class fire protection, and the pres- ent machinery will be available and sufficient to keep the standpipe full, with a very little pumping each day. There is also this advantage that if in the future, it should be decided to secure water for domestic purposes, the same mains and standpipe will be of service and thus what is, or may be, now expended would not be lost, but prove a valuable part of a system for domestic purposes. Besides, the outlay would be a good investment, as there is already an almost assured income for water, that will more than meet the annual debenture falling due. This debenture, as above stated, will be $736.70, and the Council already see $1000 annually in sight. The G. T. R. and the factories want water, and many citizens would avail themselves of it for sanitary purposes. So that as a matter of income, the scheme will be a good one, in addition to the im- provement to our fire protection. The second By-law will not provide for any expenditure, and hence need not cause any alarm on the part of any taxpayer. It is now in course of preparation and will authorize (if car- ried) the fixing of the assessment of the property of the Canada Furniture Manufacturers at a stated amount for ten years (say $25,000) on condition that the Company erect an addition to their Union factory here, size 61 x 70, three storeys and basement, and double the present number of men there employed, The Company is closing some of their smaller factories, consolidating their business and en- larging the factories in other and more central places. Wingham is 000 of the latter. The passing of this By- law will not only result in the em- ployment of more Inca, lint will en- sure the permanence cif the Canada, Furniture Co.'s factories here. With such an addition (as the one proposed) to their present properties here, the Company show their intention of leaking 'Winghatn e perinanent place of business, Look over Ontario and see.
