The two Walkerton papere were last week served with a request from the Biuce County Hospital Board to re- frain from publishing the names of patients entering the local Hospitalon the ground that such publicity was de- trimental to the inetitution. Oa the other hand the same papere were re- cently asked by a doctor ;most friendly to the Walkerton Hospital not topub- lish the fact that a certain patleut went to the Guelph Hospital on the. ground that it was not expedient to advertise the Guelph establishment, but rather that our aim should be to keep the Walkerton. Hospital to the force. This latter is good login, and is in direct line with the stand that we have been taking in the past. The Hospital Board in requesting us to do otherwise wot)ld seem to have been most ill-advised, and, as we learn, has been lending all too credulous an ear to the vapouringe of a certain doctor or doctors, whose names the papers don't happen to strike any too often in reporting the numerous cases of ail- ments in this section. This is not the fault of the papers, but is probably the reason the request came from the Hos- pital Board, as the squeal generally domes from the under -dog, and in this case the Board is sjmply being used as the megaphone for a howl that a medi- cal voice is uttering from behind the scenes. We happen to know whereof we speak, as one of the Board disclosed to us the name of the physic mixer be- hind this kick, if his repugnance against publicity were verified by re- sults, then the physicians whose names are most frequently mentioned would be the greatest kickers and the biggest ordinance, ggt losers by the a dinanc , Their practise would be falling off. their patients occupying fewer beds at the Hospital and their presence gradually becoming less familiar about the in- stitution. But the contrary seems to be the case, as they are mainly respon- sible for stocking the establishment, and if we bad but more of this ilk, the Hospital would probably be so full that the feet of the inmates would stick out of the windows. Knowing that the poorest wheel may make the moat noise, and that the doctor whose name aid patience are the least mentioned is doing the biggest holler against prin- ter'e ink, we are not inclined to take the notice from the Hospital Board too seriously, feeling that the Board has merely lent too credulous an ear to a medical cry that is probably not alto- gether devoid of sour grapes. Any patients going to Hospital and wish- ing their names kept out of print have only to get word conveyed to the pap- er and their wiehes will be respected by the publishers, but to turn down wholesale the numerous requests of friends to insert at different times that some loved one bas gone for treat• ment to the Hospital, is requesting more than we can grant, and more the Hospital Board should ask.—[Her- ald-Times, Walkerton. r Convicts Send New Year's Greeting It is a novelty indeed for a prison warder to receive from his convicts New Year's greetings, but Dc. J. G. Gilmour has for himself and Hon. %V. J. Hanna been tendered such feticide - tions by the men working on the new asylum property at Whitby. Yester- day a copy of a resolution p.tesed' on New Year's Day reached the Provin- cial Secretary's Office commending the Government for establishing prison farm colonies and giving the hien a measure of liberty which the old sys- tem did not provide, expressing the opinion that this treatment was not de- leterious to, but increased prison disci - line. ` Is It Fair g That the Bruce County Council which meets in Walkerton on Tues- day, January 27th, isn't a shining ex- ample of the principle of "representa- tion by population" is evidenced by .r,ho small number of voters that some of its members represent. For in- stance in the township of St. Edmunds we find that Reeve R'tnshury received 42 votes and defeated his opponent, Mr. Munn, whose vote was 38. In other words Mr, R'ensbury comes to he County Council representing a constituency with some 80 voters, and t the Bence Parliament will have an cpl:r.l voice in t.l:e affairs at the,,,Board with the reeve of Huron who repre• •ruts nearly 1000 voters, o' with the .neve of Greenock who represents near 800 voter's, If the County Council were conducted on the samebasis as most parliaments, where the rule of rept. sortation by population prevails, then a few sesttered settlers in the north would not he able to send enough repieseutatives to the County Council to control the balance of Dower, end make the heavily taxed and thickly populated South dance to the music net by the Northern man. The time would seem to have rung for a change and a fairer basis of repro- sentatiou at the County Board.— tlerald•Timee, Welker' on, Nox A Cold i08 While You Sleep 't'tie moot rematkable Cough told Cold tent'tdy kne*n to senesce, F•'r alt lung and throat trouble it ham no sgeel. 25 and 500 per 'bottle, at alt dug s ores ere Listowel Suer, s S'roul l 'ire. What might have proved to be the Acct disaetroue firein the history of Listowel occurred early on Wednee. day morning last, when the town hall, including the fire hall, Mr. R. Marks implement shop, the Grand Central ebede and stables were almost completely destroyed, Between 130 and 2 a.m. the fire was first noticed, but it had gained such headway that it was impossible to use the fire alarm on the town hall, however, the fire whistle 'and factory whistles immediately were put into ueeAs the entire fire fighting equipment was in the burning building and could not be got at, the firemen were almost', helpless, but the hose from the 'roper - lel Bank and from the foundry were hurriedly secured and put into use, and help was telegraphed for to Palm- erston and Stratford. Aid from Palm- erston arrived first, and everything possible was done to fight the fire, Assistant chief Hammer of Stratford arrived about 4 a.m. and also lent a helping band. For a time it looked as if the entire block would go, but the favorable position of the wind and the large amount of snow on the buildings con- siderably aided in keeping the fire con- fined to the three, buildings. While the fire was a serious one, it is very fortunate that it was so. Had the fire reached Main street it is hard to tell where it would have stopped. Absolutely nothing was saved from the town hall .which ie a complete wreck. Only the horses were saved from the stables. Mr. Gooding saved some of his furniture. and Mr. Marks saved a portion of his implements. The fire ie supposed to have started from the furnace pipes in the town hall.—[Listowel Standard.

An Object Lesson In the Value of Feeding Crepe on the Farm. A fetor days ago a striking (Meet les- son came to me while out on one of the trips I like to take when work slacks up u little, writes E. L. Vincent in American Cultivator. For some time I had been riding through n neighborhood where the grass was about the poorest I ever saw, I remarked to my wife, who watt+ with me, that it did not seem as if It would pay to eut that grass at all this year so very short and thin on the ground was it. And really it would semi almost like robbery to do it. The soil would be the better for it if ev- ery spear of grass and other stuff growing ou the land conal Just go back into the ground. 'Then all at once we came to a farm where the conditions were so different that it appeared as if we had suddenly stepped into a new world. Here the grass stood rank and of the beautiful deep green we farmers love so.well to see in our meadows. Those fields 'would no doubt turn two tons of hay to the acre. Now, this last mentioned farm,., was not n bit better land naturally than those we bad already passed through. in fact, of the two I think I would rather choose some of the land which now lies so barren. •What is the dif- ference? Largely,, dairy farming. Of* course there are other things involved in getting a crop of hay like that than keeping cows. Good farming involves a lot of things, but in great measure the fact that the owner of this good grass farm owes his success to the cows he keeps. About the time I was along tltere the manager of a farm bureau was at the farm where dairying is a specialty and stopped to make some Inquiries about the methods of the young farmer who Is making such a good thing of it there. Among other things he asked was what crops had been turned off the previous year, and the answer prov- ed that no hay, corn or other rough fodder was sold; all had been fed out on the place. lu short, 'the farm Is being fed, not starved and robbed year after year. Now, here are some pointers for ev- ery titan who has n mind to take them. How can anybody who reads and keeps his eyes open help putting things to- gether and profiting by them? We will off the month of ary Great Reductions' lines of Goods teen DRENCHING A HORSE. Errors to Avoid When Administering Medicine to Animals. ° Errors are quite common In the drenching of a horse. First one should understand that medicine must never be given by way of the nostrils, says A. S. Alexander, 51. D. C., in the Farm Journal. So administered it will be certain to flow into the lungs and cause fatal pneumonia. We have known of horses. killed in this way: The right way to drench a horse is as follows: Back him into a stall; then he cannot back away. Fut a running noose in a soft half Inch rope, cotton preferred, -and place the noose around the upper incisor (pincher) teeth. just inside of the upper Hp. Have the knot of the rope come directly iu the middle of the front of the, upper jaw. Throw the free end of the rope over a beam well above the borse's head. Raise the bead high and hold it there with the noose and rope. Get the head high enough to prevent medicine from running out of the mouth,, but do not pull it up so high that the horse will be Humble to swallow comfortably. Stand on a chair or box so that the right hand holding the bottle may insert the neck of the Crottle into the right side of the mouth. Then pour in a couple of ounces of medicine and k'1 tale horse swallow that before more Is given. 1)o not grasp and squeeze the horses throat. This snakes it difficult or impossible for him to swaliow. Tic - Isle the roof of the mouth with the neck of the bottle or fingers and swal- lowing usually will oeeur. If not, there pour 0 teaspoonful or so of cold water into the nostril and the motileine will he gulped down nt one. Ile sure that the medicine Is not s0 strong that it will burn the Muth. Sri eertnin that It is the right medicine to give. It always is well to go slow in drenching n horse. 'Raise a Few Sheep. There seems to be more Interest in sheep than for arveral years. Tbie itt as It should be because sheep are very Profitable fnimnisaunder favorable con- ditions on the farm. Every rarme tvho has ft small acreage in pastor& or wood lot should have a few sheep to supply the home oceaslonnlly onto mutton and to bring in the needed cast, for farm supplies.
