To Advertisers.
The benefit derived. from an adver-
tisement depends altogether upon the
number of persons who read it. To
reach the greatest number of readers
at the least possible expense, is a
question that, should be considered
very carefully by business inen. A
thousand snsall bills satiated in Tor-
onto or London, and. distributed in
this section, would be just as effective
as if the bill had been printed in 6011713.
There is not a doubt about that, but if
you want to reach the people in their
homes, newspaper adverasnag is the
only successful way. To get the best
results use the paper with the largest
circulation, and thegreatest amount of
local news. Circulation is the proper

If a newspaper with a circulation of

quent loss to advertisers is in the use
of several papers when oue covers the

Royal McKenzie, a, patrolman on the
Duluth police force, claims the distinc-
Won of being the giant policeman of
the United States. McKenzie, as he
appears on his beat, measures 7 feet 3a
inches from the soles of his feet to the
tip of his helmet. His actual height
is 6 feet lot inches, and he weighs 265
pounds. When he stands with his
arms spread apart as far as he can
reach, he marks a distance of '7feet, 6
inches from the tip of the under finger
on theone hand to the tip oath° other.
Royal or "Babe" McKenzie, as he is
called by his brother officers, was born
in Huron county, April 13th, 1571, be-
ing therefore, 26 years of age. His
father was a man of ordinary height
and build, being but 5 feet 11 inches
tali, but his mother stood 6 feet 1 inch

force by ex -mayor Lewis, who is part-
ial to tall men. McKenzie says that
be is one-quarter inch taller, andheav-
ier than be was a year ago. The big
fellow is good natured and proud of
his height, and is the pet of the police

• CREAMERY NOTES.a
The follosviag questions and answers
will be of interest to patrons and 1.. -
tended patrons of butter factories:
Qua. (1)-1s it possible for the per-
centage of butter over butter fat to
vary every month ? Prof Dean, of
Guelph, says 'rt is possible for the
butter to oyer run the fat. The in-
crease should be from 10 to 15 %. 20 %
I consider too high." Prof. Robertson
says : "The quantity of marketable
• tter made from 100 lbs, of butter.
-fa in milk does vary from time to
tarn " Then be gives his reasons,
whic are as follows: (a) The thor-
oagline with which the butter fat is
recoveres from the milk by separating
and by ch ning. (b) The percentage
of -water lef the butter. That will
vary all the y from 9 to 16 or even
1/ % of water utter.
• (2)—Will not a sound of butter fat
ake as much bu er one month as
nother ? • Prof, De says: "Yea a
ound of batter fat in e whole month
wilimake as much las one month
as another, unless there is a, loss some-
where, or it might be due to an excess
of water in butter." -
(3)—If a party sent milk to a, butter. ,
factory for the mouths of May and
Sane, sending 1,234 [lbs. in May and '
2,712 in June, the test for May being
3.8 and for June 3.51, ; the -percentage
of butter over butter fat being 1;
butter sold at 16a cents I lb. What
difference would there be if this party
was charged 8c a lb. on butter fat or
4ac on butter for making ? J. B. Rey-
nolds, B. A., of Guelph, answers this
as follows (1) Paying this patron 3c.,
less per lb. of butter fat than the bat-
ter was sold for -3.8 of 1,234=46.8 lbs.
butter fat; 3.5a of 2,712=96.2 lbs. but-
ter fat—Total, 143 lbs butter fat at
184c=$19.30. (2) Paying this patron
4ac less per lb of butter than the butter
was sold for : 143 lbs. batter fat=
143 x 11810O=161S lbs butter, ancl 164
butter at 12c= $19.38. Practically na
difference.

years employed by Samuel Marriott,
Base Line, Blowhard, left Thursday

James Pinder has returned from
Washington Territory with his wife
and family. He expects to spend a

Last Thursday Harry J. Mothers,
well known to many in Hibbert and
Mitchell, left for the Klondike, accom-
panied by two other gentlemen. '
On Friday last Mrs. John Harter,
after several months illness, passed. to
her reward., at the age of 72 years.
Deceased went to Mitchell with her
husband. in the year 1862, and has ever
since been a respected resident of that
town.
Win. Powers and wife leave Mitchell
fer Indian Head, N. W. T. where they
will make their home in the future.
They will be very much missed, espec-
ially Mrs. Powers, who is a general
favorite with all. They carry with

circle of friends.
• A highly respected and old-time resi-
dent of Blanshard passed away on
Wednesday, March 2nd, in the person
of Mrs. Catharine McEwen, relict of
the late Alexander Murray. The
deceased was a native of Perthshire,
Scotland, came to this country in 1860,
and until 12 years ago resided with
her husband on the River Road, Blau -
shard, since then in $1. Marys.
On Saturday night about 9 o'clock,
at the Division street crossing of the
G. T. R. at Cobourg, a rig occupied
by George Cockburn anOnagh Mayer,

ibis expected internally injured. Mr.
Mather escaped with a broken collar-
bone and a severe shaking up. The
horse was not hurt.
To Advertisers.
The benefit derived. from an adver-
tisement depends altogether upon the
number of persons who read it. To
reach the greatest number of readers
at the least possible expense, is a
question that, should be considered
very carefully by business inen. A
thousand snsall bills satiated in Tor-
onto or London, and. distributed in
this section, would be just as effective
as if the bill had been printed in 6011713.
There is not a doubt about that, but if
you want to reach the people in their
homes, newspaper adverasnag is the
only successful way. To get the best
results use the paper with the largest
circulation, and thegreatest amount of
local news. Circulation is the proper
basis upon whichprices should, be fixed.
If a newspaper with a circulation of
2,900 charges $100 per year, then one
with a, circulation of 600 woold be entitl-
ed to $30. An advertiser should take
these facts into careful eonsideration,
whee making contracts. Another fre-
quent loss to advertisers is in the use
of several papers when oue covers the
ground. TAB Tiaras is read by more
people in Exeter, -Osborne, Stephen,
Ray, the northern part of Biddulph
and McGillivray than an other comity
papers combine& and an advertise-
ment placed in it still be found the
most effectual way in which to reach
the people. •

Royal McKenzie, a, patrolman on the
Duluth police force, claims the distinc-
Won of being the giant policeman of
the United States. McKenzie, as he
appears on his beat, measures 7 feet 3a
inches from the soles of his feet to the
tip of his helmet. His actual height
is 6 feet lot inches, and he weighs 265
pounds. When he stands with his
arms spread apart as far as he can
reach, he marks a distance of '7feet, 6
inches from the tip of the under finger
on theone hand to the tip oath° other.
Royal or "Babe" McKenzie, as he is
called by his brother officers, was born
in Huron county, April 13th, 1571, be-
ing therefore, 26 years of age. His
father was a man of ordinary height
and build, being but 5 feet 11 inches
tali, but his mother stood 6 feet 1 inch
8,14 was a heavy woman. The big
patrolman, in spite of his great height
is no mean athlete. He has won sev-
eral prizes for hammer throwing and
was at the head of the tug ofwar team.
McKenzie was appointed to the police
force by ex -mayor Lewis, who is part-
ial to tall men. McKenzie says that
be is one-quarter inch taller, andheav-
ier than be was a year ago. The big
fellow is good natured and proud of
his height, and is the pet of the police
force. In speaking of himself to the
press, be said : I was born in Huron
county, Ontario, a few miles from the
village of Lucknow.

• CREAMERY NOTES.a
The follosviag questions and answers
will be of interest to patrons and 1.. -
tended patrons of butter factories:
Qua. (1)-1s it possible for the per-
centage of butter over butter fat to
vary every month ? Prof Dean, of
Guelph, says 'rt is possible for the
butter to oyer run the fat. The in-
crease should be from 10 to 15 %. 20 %
I consider too high." Prof. Robertson
says : "The quantity of marketable
• tter made from 100 lbs, of butter.
-fa in milk does vary from time to
tarn " Then be gives his reasons,
whic are as follows: (a) The thor-
oagline with which the butter fat is
recoveres from the milk by separating
and by ch ning. (b) The percentage
of -water lef the butter. That will
vary all the y from 9 to 16 or even
1/ % of water utter.
• (2)—Will not a sound of butter fat
ake as much bu er one month as
nother ? • Prof, De says: "Yea a
ound of batter fat in e whole month
wilimake as much las one month
as another, unless there is a, loss some-
where, or it might be due to an excess
of water in butter." -
(3)—If a party sent milk to a, butter. ,
factory for the mouths of May and
Sane, sending 1,234 [lbs. in May and '
2,712 in June, the test for May being
3.8 and for June 3.51, ; the -percentage
of butter over butter fat being 1;
butter sold at 16a cents I lb. What
difference would there be if this party
was charged 8c a lb. on butter fat or
4ac on butter for making ? J. B. Rey-
nolds, B. A., of Guelph, answers this
as follows (1) Paying this patron 3c.,
less per lb. of butter fat than the bat-
ter was sold for -3.8 of 1,234=46.8 lbs.
butter fat; 3.5a of 2,712=96.2 lbs. but-
ter fat—Total, 143 lbs butter fat at
184c=$19.30. (2) Paying this patron
4ac less per lb of butter than the butter
was sold for : 143 lbs. batter fat=
143 x 11810O=161S lbs butter, ancl 164
butter at 12c= $19.38. Practically na
difference.
