THE ROAD TO COBOC'ONK;
It Is a Leisurely Little Line Where
Trainmen 1 -lave Few Worries.
"Fifty on Wire -in, straight and pace."
'A hundred and fifty on War Whoop,
across the board."
Of the thousands of raeegoers at
the Woodbine track who in years past
have heard these phrases in the bet-
ing ring, there were probably .very'
{ew who ever paused to ask where
the Kirkfield Stable, under which title
the raoing string' owned by Sir Wil-
liam Mackenzie's sons were known
on the• turf, had obtained its name.
The. answer to the question, had it
en asked, casts an interesting side-
on the human side of the fail,
railway magnate. The stable was
e eel after the little.vi lage in Vies
rut County, where r Willian4 *SS'
born eixty three yeares aggo, and the
strong affection which the presid 13
of the Canadian Northern feels le
his humble birthplace is apparent not
'only in his maintenance of a summer'
tresidence there, but also in somi)
substantial benefactions which he has
bestowed upon the village.
Kirkfield is situated on the Lind
-C'obcconk branch of the Grand
ltic railway, near the cutting,
eviasi terries the Trent Valley Canal
;from the [ awartha chain of lakes to
Lake r:,a - - If the citizens of South- ,
tern ;)nt•ii . , long accustomed to the
luxury, ted and comfort of travel
by lim.t.. 1 trains, wishes to obtain a
last, of tits railway conditions enjoy-
ed (or :ether endured) by a previous
gel::...vion, he need only take a trip
up the Coboconk line. If there had
been a railway in Arcady, it would
have been closely modelled upon the
4`olroconk branch. Every morning at
^x.10 the mixed train leaves the north -
,.ern terminal and niakes its leisurely
„progress southward, at the rate of 37
;roues in three hours. At 6.30 in the
-evening it departs from Lindsay for
its return trip, and as there are no
. connections to make, the already gen-
ped byten
n
Brous- schedule is lengthened

unseemly
minutes, and even thew no ens
effort is made to arrive on time. At
each station the train steps to dis-
charge freight, mail, express, bag-
gage, and, an •occasit,ttal passenger,
while once' in a while there is an emp-
ty car, to drop or a full one to pick
up. The postmaster, the blacksmith,
and the preacher stroll down to ex-
change greetings and gossip with 'tem
train crew, and if the conversation le
especially interesting, the :train
merely detained a few minutes longe:.
It is not so long since the Coboennk. ,
branch was run upon an even m ire
primitive plan than it is at present.
Whenever three or four old Vict t-
ians get together and begi.i swappii,e
reminiscences, the talk is •certain 'o •
tern sooner • or later upon the late
"Jimmie" Greaves, who for yearn
held the :post of co.-tductor on the
line. Jimmie was a famous,character
. his day, and his rotund form an I
attend oounteance were truthful iu• .•
to find; alter 'proceeding` -to 'the bat
stop, that Jimmie was absent. The
train's prdgress was reversed, and af-
tee running back neerly, to Lorne-
ville, the crew sighted 'Jimmie walk-
ing at a comfortable pace toward his
train, he having set out to pursue it
on foot when he discovered that it
had departed.
Jimmie hada watch by which he
swore. It is related of him that one
morning he was seen standing with
watch in hand and staring fixedly at
the eastern hills. "What's the mat-
ter, Jimmie?" asked an acquaintance.
"If the sun isn't over that hill in
lone minute and twenty seconds, she'll
be late," was the old conductor's sol-
emn reply;

Shot Five Bears.
r
There is a good bear story told by
General Agent Lee of the Temiskam-
ing and Northern Ontario Railway, a
marl who knows every inch of the
North Country and can supply every-
thing from a goode fishing spot to an
Indian guide. He and a tenderfoot
doctor were out bear shooting. After
a while, they took separats routes and
in a few minutes Lee heard six shots
in rapid succession. Running to find
the doctor, he was discovered leaning
exhausted against a tree and a big
black bear laying dead on a hillock
along a narrow path. Behind the ani-
mal were four good-sized cubs, also
dead, and, making his escape, was
father bear. The doctor had shot five
out, of six, but, in the excitement of
his maiden shooting expedi tiot i,
thought he had shot only one, for as
fast as they. came up the hi:.•.ick the
medico blazed away with eyes half
shut. Lee guarantees this s`..ry, elide
ws will let it go at that.

Has No Effect on Stock Market-.
Exemption of Ireland From Con-
tribution to Arrny, Navy, or Diplo-
matic Service is Ground of Chief
Criticism -Debate on Monday.
London, April 13 --Tho adjournment
of the home rule for 1l:eland debate
in the House cf Commons lentil Mon-
day has given an interval in which
the opinions of public men of all
classes are being canvassed on the
main outlines of the measure. As far
as details are concerned, especially
of, the complex financial proposals, it
will be needful, however, to await
,.until the bill is in print, which prob-
ably will be Wednesday.
In the Stock Exchange yesterday
the introduction of the bill had no
effect whatever. Consols roza slightly,
but Irish bank and jandtock prices
did not change. According to the
Unionist view the failure of the meas-
ure to affect prices was the outcome
of a belief among bankers and finan-
ciers that the bill will never become
a law. Criticisms of the measure
seems likely to fasten itself upon
the financial proposals, not only on
the part of opponents, but also sup-
porters of the bill, as the financial
scheme, together with the clause call-
ing for a nominated senate, are con-
sidered its weakest spots,
The exemption of Ireland from any
contribution to the army, navy, di-
plomatic service, etc., also is severely
criticized, while it is predicted that
such a scheme of dual government as
the bill proposes would lead to con-
stant friction between the Imperial
and Irish Parliaments, since the Im-
perial Parliament., the Lord Lieuten-
ant of Ireland and the Privy Council
each would possess the power to veto
over the Irish Parliament.
The Spectator describes the bill as
both foolish and cowardly. It says
the Government, afraid to grant the
Nationalists' demand for colonial
home rule, bribed them into accept-
ing much less to begin with, but in
allowing forty Irish members to re-
main in Westminster, have provided
them with an instrument for extort-
ing in the future full colonial powers.
The Spectator adds that as the Na-
tionalists thus eventually will get
both the bribe and full powers, they
naturally are contented. -

JUDGING A SEPARATOR.
Same of the Essential 'chines to Be
considered Before Making Purchase.
In an article of advice on separators
A. W. Rudnick, assistant in dairying
in the Kansas State Agricultural col-
lege, says;
In buying a separator the most es-
sential points to be considered are:
(1) The amount of milk to be separat-
ed, (2) the efficiency of the machine,
(3) the life or durability of the ma-
chine, (4) the ease of cleaning the parts
coming in contact with the milk, (5)
the simple construction of and rigid-
ness of the gears, and pinions, (6) the
oiling device, (7) the construction of
casing or frame.
The efficiency of the machine is a
very to ential point. This does not re-
fer alone as to whether the machine
Trainmen Vote Strike.
New York, April 13. -By a majority
of more than 23,000 out of 25,000 votes
cast, locomotive engineers on fifty
railroads east of Chicago and north
of Norfolk and Western, have author-
ized their officers to call a strike,
should further negotiations with the
railroads for increased pay fail. The
count of the vote was completed at
noon yesterday, and the result made
known immediately by Warren S.
Stone, Grand Chief of the Brother-
hood of Locomotive Engineers, to J.
C. Stuart, chairman of the General
Managers' Association of the Rail-
roads.
The general managers have called a
meeting, to be held here. April 15, to
consider the result of the vote. The
engineers' officers have notified Mr.
Stone that they would remain here
for "a reasonable tine" to await a
counter proposition of_ the railrpads, +

one must furnish a 40 per cent or 45

cleaner than any other providing other
requirements are equal? The separa-
tor, with care in keeping the tempera-
ture of the milk between 90 to 100 de-
grees F., having the machine on a solid
foundation, the bowl running true and
turning the crank at the required
speed, should not have more than five -
hundredths per cent of butter fat in
the skimmilk when skimming a 30 per
cent cream.
A. good separator with reasonabid
care and attention should last from ten
to fifteen years, with few or no re-
pairs.
When we say that the parts of the
separator which come in contact with
the milk should. be so constructed as;
to be easily cleaned we do not refer to
the number of parts to be cleaned, but
to the construction, 01 these parts. Can
every piece of the bowl be taken apart
o thatzwe (hive ,no cracks or shoulder-'
to .clean? If it is a disk machine, will
all of the disks come apart so that we
can 'wash them individually, or, it
there is any other device, can it be
taken apart so that all of the surface
will be exposed and be easily washed?
Some machines may be so constructed
that there are only 'a few parts, and
yet these few be more difficult to wash,
and keep •clean than a machine with a
great number.
The parts coming in contact with
the milk should be heavily tinned, as
this makes washing easier and pre-
vents the parts from rusting. If the

work to keep the machine clean. How-
ever, no separator is so constructed
that it can be kept clean and sanitary
without taking it apnrt after each sep-
aration. In - order to get the best re-
sults from your machine wash • and
scald all tbe parts coming in contact
with the milk after each separation.
Most of the standard machines have
vertical and horizontal gears, with
each end of the pinion in a bearing,
thus reducing the chance of the gears
moving out of place to a minimum, and
this kind of gearing will run for years
itbout any repair or adjustment if

FARMER'S BEST PIAN.
It is said: that the best assur-
ance for peace is for a nation to
be prepared for war. Be that as
it may, the surest plan for the
farmer is to save the moisture he
already has in the soil. This may
be done by plowing and harrow-
ing. "Pray, but keep the pow-
der dry," was the admonition of
a warrior.

Law Points For the Farmer.
The district court of Weld county,
Colo., has decided that reservoirs 1d'r
cated on government or railroad land,
cannot be held by mere entty and
used without filings or condemnation.'.
Reservoir owners will be obliged to
buy their present sites outright or con -
deans them. '
The time to read contracts for dear
lite is before you sign them. If folks;
took half tbe pains to keep out mf
trouble that they do to get out afters
they are in knee deep they would be a'
lot happier, richer and wiser. It is a
good plan. never to sign papers that
AN brought along by strangers.
The degree of care required of rail-
road companies toward their passen-
gers, according to a recent Arknn5ae
aeusion, is the highest degree of care
which a prudent and cautious mate
mould exercise and which is reasopa',
