11011E DAIRYING AT TOE ONTARIO
Ab11i1CULTUIt,IL ()SWEEPS.
To th0lidtbor 0111un loser,
Slit,—Having, received a number of in.
quiriee about onr mimeo in dairying I
shall sateen it a favor if you will allow
me to say through the medium pf your
paper a few words which may serve ae
an answer to maty gtlaetion8. ' Our
regular students receive leatnros on
dairying and get more or lose pre0tieal
inetrnabiou in that department through-
out their whole course, and the traiuiug
given in this way is thought to be sulfi,
cient for those who remain with no for
two or three yours. For butter -makers,
cheese -ma -ken, and others who can spare
only a short time, we have a special dairy
oonree. The course in this school taste
for two months, commencing on the 15th
January, and is devoted entirely to the
theory and praotioe of dairying in its
different branches, viz.—miik•testing,
butter.meeling and oheese•makiug, Leet
year we admitted sixty applicants for
this course and refused over eighty.
This year we are erecting 8 new dairy
building for the a000mmodation of a
larger number, say 100 students ; and
already, without any advertising, the
pressure has been eo great that we have
admitted 115 for January, 1894, and have
planed on file between twenty and thirty
applications for 1895. Another glass haul
still to be provided for, viz., young man
and women, and perhaps some older per.
sone, who do nob wish to take a full
Demise so as to fit 1181088110e for feotory
work, but want to learn eomething about
the latest and best methods in home or
farm dairying. For this course the are
now providing. Henceforth our new
dairy building and one-half of the old
bnilding will be devoted to systematic in.
straotion iu milk•testing, butter -making
end cheese -making on a large scale, for
those who wish to equip themselves fully
for taking charge of creameries or cheese
factories ; and the other half of the old
building will be used for milk•teeting and
butter -making on a smeller scale, and in
a way adapted to home or farm dairying.
This borne dairy department is intended
espeoially for farmers' eons and dough.
tens who may desire to learn something
about the appliances suitable for dairying
on the farm ; the care of milk and
Dream ; the beat methods of churning;
the salting, working, printing and pack.
ing of butter ; the use of the Bab000k
milk tester, and the running of cream
separators by hand, by tread power and
by steam. Uudor the direction of Prof.
Dean, T. G. Rogers, our own butter -
maker, will take obarge of thie home
dairy department ; and those who wish
instruction in this department may enter
at any time within the two and a half
months, commencing on the 15th Ian•
nary, and may stay as long or as short e.
time ae they wish. I may add that we
bad five ladies in our dairy school laab
year. They liked the work very mach.
and took a high standing at the end of
the term. We hope to have a number of
farmers' daughters apply for this home
dairy emerge to commence on the 160h of
January next, and would suggeet tomb
applicants state when they wish to enter
and bow long they propose to May.

DRAB Enreoi,—I think ae farmers we
have good cause for making a Vigorous
kick against the way we leave been treat-
ed by buyers in oonneotion with the lamb
bushiest; this year and now that the buy-
ing and selling is over until next season
I sound a warning note. What right
have buyers bo some along and make a
straight bargain for lambs early in the
Spring, paying a small deposit to bind
the oontraot, and then in the Pall either
leave the lambs on our kande or take
them at a out pri0e ? We are not to
blame if the market ie bad nor did we
guarantee that it would be good, yet we
suffer the lobe 10 the above mentioned uu-
bustles! like way of dealing. If the
prices are too high why are the buyers 5o
keen to make offers so early in the eea.
son ? I am aware that drovers have lost
heavily this year and I am sorry for it,
but they are largely to blame for it them -
801v88. The dealer who buys and 11e0e1
comes near the honed again, the farmer
refusing other offers to keep hie side of
the bargain, is a mean man. I believe
lambs should not be sold until they are
5 or 6 months old and then there would
be lees "monkey" work, I would like to
hear other farmers express their opinion
on this question. Yours Truly,
Fain PLAY.

run the engine to the coal shed, eget of
the round house, Everything went well
until arrival at the latter plass, when the
man in charge could not bring thoengine
1,0 a standstill. In the oxeitement the
throttle was opened as full as possible.
This resulted in a high rate of speed
being attained, and the coal heaver, see-
ing the predicament into Mende lie had
got himself, jumped and let the engine go
as it pleased, When the speed hal
reached about 80 mi/es all hour, an open
switch was reached. The locomotive
was derailed, plowing up the track for a
000eiderable distance, finally turning
over on its side. It now lies in that pos.
Ilion, and the damage is so groat that it
will have to be sent eo Montreal for re.
pairs, It was fortunate, indeed, that the
switch was open, otherwise the engine
would in all probability have collided
with the way freight whioh oam0 into

Gleoboro', province of Manitoba, in the

In Marsh of 1802 they rented a farm
from John McDonald, four miles East of
Gleaboro', with everything required on a
860 acre farm, The only claim against
them was a chattel mortgage on one of
their four horses. Last and this year's
orops were good and they paid all their
debts, On Oat, 16111 they disappeared.
The hoose was just as if they went out
to work. Their good clothes and their
whole outfit were found intact. They
had over $800 in oath at the time they
left. They had 100 bushels of wheat and
some oats in their granary, and had 800
bushels of wheat in an elevator on which
they had not collected the price. A
neighbor, elre. Wallace, stated last week
that if Bluff lake was searohed the
Pocock boys would be found. A search
party of eight are trying to find the
bodies. There are strong hints of foul
play. A man was found hanging in a
