Canada, He- boasted that he could get tip steam in six minutes and proved that it was so, At this time, as well as the ' Vanstone Mill, W.F.Mann had a flour and grist mill in operation, near the site Of the present Topnotch Mill. Both could be operated by steam or water. An earlier mill on the Mann site, owned by a man named Grewar, had been ravaged by fire. A woollen mill owned by D. McIntosh was also in operation at' this time. It was located at the site of the present public school with a furniture ,faCtory nearby, Another existing industry was a planing mill, owned by J. Bennett. This operation was situated just south of the railway tracks on the east side of Turnberry Street. In addition, there were a • custom foundry, six blacksmith shops, ten carriage shops, two pump factories, a steam flax mill, three tailors, four boot and shoe The recent outbreaks of Brucellosis in cattle in Ontrio are not a cause for undue concern or for the introduction of massive calfhood vaccination programs. ''Reacting to the recent increase in the incidence of Brucellosis in the province, some livestock men 'have been quick to point out that calfhood vaccination should be reintroduced on a breed scale if the disease is to be controlled," notes Dr. Howard Neely, extension veterinarian with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. "In the light of present circumstances," Dr. Neely continues, "farmers are nat urally wondering whether they should vaccinate their cattle against Brucellosis or not. Our feeling is that each case should be considered on its merits, in consultation with local veterinarians. The incidence of Brucellosis in Canadian cattle is currently 0.07% and the problem in Ontario has been limited to a Use sterile soil to germionate seedlings Although there are many sterile soilless mixes on the mark& these days, some home gardeners prefer to germinate plant seeds in topsoil. "Topsoil must be properly sterilized if it is to provide a good medium for seed germination and plant growth,"• says Burke McNeill, a horticultural specialist with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. Sterile soil helps to prevent the development of . disease organisms and weeds. You can use the oven of your kitchen stove to sterilize soil , if you wish, Preheat the oven to 180°F, Place the soil in' a shallow, flat pan and leave it in the oven for 20 Minutes. Cool the soil to room temperature, and it's ready to use. Sterilizing topsoil does not entirely eradicate weed and `disease problems, but it helps control them, It's a simple process that should help gardeners to grow bigger, better plants indoors.' .':..i• Innen t tidying Lesson` TO drive a baby buggy just tickle its little feet! shops, six general stores, five grocery stores, two hardware stores, four tin and stove stores, two drugstores, three bookstores, a corset factory and two confectionaries,.

The Tecumseh, was built at the north end of the business section, The American and The Queen's, which still stand, ate within a block of one another on the west side of downtown's main street. Finally, the Central, was built on the east. side of main street, just south of the Queen's.. It can be seen from an article written in the Brussels Post, 1886, that Brussels was viewed as a village with a bright future. The article was entitled "Brussels: A Glance at the Town - and its few outbreaks." Federal authorities have moved into the areas in Ontario where problem herds have occurred and .quarantined, tested, slaughtered and paid compensation, as the situation warranted. Farmers should be assured that both affected and unaffected areas are being constantly monitored.," 'The recent Brucellosis outbreaks are not the first to be recorded since federal-provincial programs drastically reduced incidence of the disease in livestock through extensive vaccination. Since that time, wide scale test and slaughter programs have kept Brucellosis outbreaks to a minimum. If, after consultation, a farmer and his veterinarian decide that vaccination is required, it is mdt 'important to remember that only heifer calves betweeti the ages of three and six months should be vaccinated.

'Filially the Queen's Hotel was praised as being "one of the most efficiently managed hosteleries in Ontario" with over thirty sleeping apartments, As can be evidenced from these' Written accounts, Brussels was o prosperous village in 1886, and yet; even then the insidious population decline had begun, population of 1,800 in 1882 had decreased by over 200 in 1886. By'. 1891, this had further diminished to 1,204. Although it is impossible to know exactly what happened to cause this decline in population, we have discovered some contributing factors. McIntosh's woollen factory was not (: mentioned in the 1886 article. It is most likely that it had closed clown prior to this date. The furniture factory had ceased operating also by 1886.
