The Clif- ford Express says :—The latter con- tention is strengthened by a peculiar discovery on Saturday afternoon, in which John D. Moos of this town had what he considers a narrow escape. He was engaged at Frank Dixon's farm at the side of the lake, in Howick township, in deepening a well which he dug four years ago. There was sufilcent flow of water at the time the well was dug hat this season it became dried up and it was decided to deepen. Mr. Moos was engaged at the work on Saturday and in the afternoon he ap- pears to have struck a vein of some- thing of the nature of gas. He •found himself being suffocated and called upon lir. Dixon, who turned the windlass, to pull hint up. On reach- ing the top and getting fresh air, he' recovered from his weakness but con- sidered it prudent not to attempt gos ing down again without investigation. Quite a perceptible smell of the same effluvia as is emitted from coal gas could be felt coming from the mouth of the pit. Lighted lanterns were lowered which became extinguished on going down. Repetitions of this demonstration invariably produced the sante result. Finally straw was set fire to and sent down, which re- sulted in a continuous stream of smoke being emitted for several hours. Mr. Moos returned on Monday and suc- ceeded in getting his pick and shovel out of the well but declares that the shell of foul air or gas was still there and forthwith abandoned the job. He says Mr. Dixon proposes bringing on drillers, in the hope of possibility of passing through the vein of foul air and finally securing wholesome water or otherwise striking a natural gas or oil well. There is great excitement in the neighborhood and further develop- ments will. he watched with interest. .1 The Source Of Neuralgia. It runs hand in hand with poor blood and weak nerves. Health runs down, nerves get irritable, neuralgic torture follows. For the moment ap- plications may relieve—but to thor- oughly cure, the system must be strengthened with nutritious blood. What can equal Ferrozone? It in- creases the appetite, forms abundance of rich life-giving blood, supplies nu- triment and building material for wornout nerves. Ferrozone complete- ly cures neuralgia. Every root and branch of the disease it kills. Abso- lute success in every case. Stop suf- B J. W. King, for fering—•fifty cents buys Ferrozone. y $2; 4th, $1.

When the exerenx0nt secreted by the kidneys, which is normally pure white, appears yellow, though the droppings are solid and the bird appears perfect. ly healthy, look out for bowel trouble, When the crop is hard and unyield- ing there Is danger of the bird becoln- to crop bound, hen the diechargee are streaked wit blood it is time to give preven, tives for diarrhoea.. When the points are hot and swollen and the fowl is disinclined to stand, rheumatism has taken ]sold. When the nostrils are clogged with dirt and the eyes water, ward off a pos. Bible ease of roup by timely treatment. If the case is bas apply the hatchet and bury the carcass. When the bird seems lame and has a small swelling on its foot remove to a house with no porches and oblige it to roost on a bed of straw. Bumble foot is easily cured in the early stages if the cause is at once removed. When a hen seems to droop down behind and goes repeatedly to the nest without laying she is usually suf- fering from a disorder of the oviduct and might as well be killed and eaten, When a bird is "going light," has good appetite, but passes food from the bowels undigested, it is the early stage of consumption, and treatment is useless. When the hen seems giddy and turns round and round she is probably suffering from apoplexy. When the bird has leg weakness, with no disorder of the liver, feed lighter and give plenty of bone form- ing material. When new fowls are bought quaran- tine them until sure they have no dis- ease. When a fowl has difficulty in breath- ing look out for pneumonia. When a fowl is dangerously sick with an organic disease it is worse than useless as a breeder. It is usually safer to kill a bad case of illness than to try to cure 1t.—Canada Farmer's Gazette. y o n ar 1n, By Samuel Burchill, $t for the best grade breeding cow. By Thos. T.

Following is a description of a pair of stocks in use in connection with the Pennsylvania experiment station herd, and which have been giving very good satisfaction, says Hoard's Dairyman. The apparatus is constructed by sink- ing two 3 by 9)/2 inch timbers into the ground, these being about three and one-quarter feet high and eighteen BULL STOCKS, inches apart. At a distance of eight and one-half feet from these and in line with them place two similar sup- ports one and one-half feet high. These supports are each connected by a plank and a bar placed across the upper end, forming a pair of stocks in- to which a cow may be easily got. They ala also made adjustable, so that they can be made larger or small- er, as the case may demand. We append an illustration of a de- vice, which embodies all the essential principles above described, but is made movable and more in the form of a box. It should be made very strong and the planks upon which the bull's feet are to rest should be supported from below by a plank reaching from the front to the rear corner posts. One of these planks should be left loosely fastened with bolts or pins, so that the space between them may be in- creased or decreased to correspond with the size of the cow. Two deaths occurred at the House of Refuge last week : James Tewsley of Colborne, and Geo. Nichol, former- ly of Seaforth. The work out the C. P. R.'bridge at Manchester is snaking good progress. The piling is being pushed ahead and will soon be completed, Wrn. Johnston shipped from Blyth station on Saturday morning a three- year-old heifer that tipped the scales at 1400 pounds ; it was purchased from Alex. McCabe of West Wawanosh. James Cornish of Iiullett has foul' sows from the product of which. he expects to get over $800 this year. During the past six months, the pigs he sold therefrom, together with a few he still has, will bring him $450. And he can easily make up the bat= ante in the ensuing six months. The work on the Guelph-Goderich Ry. at Walton is fast going ahead. Two gangs of Italians have been work- ing on the road at this part and have succeeded in doing a vast amount of work. The biggest featuro in this vicinity is the cut west, of the village. It has been dug out by the labot•ers and is some 51 feet deep. .A. sal and perhaps fatal accident befel 111.1'.

Forty tickets were sold here for the lIarvest excurelon to the west, Candidates for a call are still being heard in the Presbyterian Church and no selection sins yet been made. Teeswater Public School re -opened on Tuesday with Mr. W, Lawer of Allendale, in charge as principal in place Of Mr. D. L. Strachan. Mr, Will Robertson, who went out west by the first Harvesters' excursion has secured the position of principal in the Public School at Grand View, Manitoba.

Mrs. Absalom Hardy, of Elora St„ is very i11, having suffered a severe stroke of paralysis last Friday morn- ing. This is the second stroke she has suffered, a light one having occurred about three years ago. The prize list for the 85th annual Fall Show of the Culross Agricultural Association, to be held on Monday and Tuesday, October 2nd and 3rd, has been issued and copies mailed to mem- bers and likely exhibitors. Six of Teeswater's young ladies, re- cent graduates of the P. S. Continua- tion class room, went to Mount Forest on Tuesday to take the Model School course, which, should they be success- ful with their work there, will qualify them to take positions as teachers. Seven members of the Wingham Rifle team cane over on Friday last and engaged in a match with a team of the crack shots of No. 8 Company. Only six of the Teeswater team could be got together so they were at quite a disadvantage in the matter of scor- ing as a team. There was only thne to shoot at the 200 and 500 yard rang- es. The Wingham team made 225 points and Teeswater 197. Rifle shoot- ing contests is a sort of sport that should be encouraged as while it is a healthful amusement it develops a highly useful kind of skill, and is the hest kind of military training for the citizen. 5000 Telegraphers ., 1 to NEEDED Annually, to fill the now positions created by Railroad and Telegraph Companies.

If you -are feeding a calf for the dairy the feeding should be such as to avoid the laying on of any extra fat. Those feeds of a fattening nature— corn in its various forms, barley meal, rye meal, and the like—should be fed sparingly, if at all. Dairymen would not have nearly so much trouble with unruly and kicking cows and heifers if more attention were paid to the calves. These should never be allowed to get wild. Let the children pet them. This training pro- cess will be found to pay when the calf becomes it cow. Calves weighing 250 to 300 pounds should not receive too much silage, though it is one of the best forms of roughage they can have. Too much distends the paunch, and then its na- ture Is lightly acid succulent.—Chica- go Inter Ocean. The Young Foal. Foals when first dropped that are from mares which have not had regu- lar exercise, and particularly those fed chiefly upon dry hay, often suffer at first from inability to evacute the bowels. The safest, best and least painful remedy for this is to inject per rectum a half pint of warm water by means of a common bulb syringe, such as is suitable for faintly use. If the first injection does not produce the de- sired effect repeat in half an hour. A spoonful of glycerine may be added to the water with advantage. We have never known this remedy to fail, and no ill effects will follow. Many young foals die every year from "stoppage of the bowels,"—Horse Breeder, ----A Substitute For Hair.
