About eight t toc es of snow fell on Friday night last and many of rhe. orchard tre<s were broken with the weight of the still unpicked fruit and the snow. The farmers are hoping for fine weather so that the apples can be gathered: The poultry business is still boom- ing. Mr. Trewartba has been unable to get sufficient pluckers to keep up with the work. The number of chickens being received is a surprise even to him. Sometimes over a ton a day is expressed.

There : are 'none made in Kin- Cardine now, Some years ago, there were several coopers here who made many har;rels,, but they have gone out of the. business:+ The National Fruit Co., secured some in Lucknow but not enough and their gangs are pick- ing the fruit and housing it until a supply of barrels can he had. No one else appears to be in the apple exporting business here, and much good fruit will go to waste. -Barrels cost 40 cents each. Not many years ago they sold for less than half that amount.—Kincardine Review. if'ECIAL.

All are welcome' to the bright, cheerfdl services weekly. Varna Malcolm Keys, second son. of Mr. W. F TCevs, went over to .Clinton on Monday morning and is now tak- ing a course in the Business College there. Malcolm is industrious and painstaking and we have no doubt but that he will profit by the thor- ough training to be received at that institution. Mr, 3 r I c b Smite lilt has movedinto the House he has bought from Mr. W. F. Key's, who is now located in the Ward residence west of the vil- lage. Mr. John Seeley has taken the house vacated by Mr, Snaith. The Iltcthodist congregation will hold their annual- fowl supper on the evening of Monday, Dee 2nd, and are already preparing for it. This supper has theretofore been very successful and from present indica- tions this year's will be one of the best yet, For the entertainment fol- lowing the supper talent from. Clin- ton and Seaforth has been secured. Mark down the date, Monday, Dec. 2nd, so that no other function may interfere with this one. The members 0f Varna L.O.L, No. 1035, held their annual oyster sup- per on Tuesday evening, to which were invited their wives, sweet- hearts, and a number of friends. It need scarcely be added that it proved to he a Unost en.oyable 'affair. After the supper of juicy, appetizing oy- sters and many other good things provided by the good ladies, had been amply enjoyed, the gathering was called to order and a pleasing program gone through. District Mas- ter Win, Rathwell occupied the chair and performed the chitins pertaining to that position with much accep- tance. Past Grand Master G. B. Manley of the London Road, Rev. II. J. Condeli, rector of Holy Trin- ity church, Bayfield, Rev. E. John- ston,,,. pastor of the Presbyterian church, Varna, Reeve William Glen and Mr. Thomas Wylie of ,Stanley, the utter an old time member of No. 1035, a charter member in fact, each made interesting speeches. 'these were interspersed by violin selections by'the Messrs. Stephenson, Miss Stephenson accompanying on the piano, and several 'selections from Mr. Epps' gramophone, The gather- inging broke up in good time, each well pleased with the success of the Orange supper of 1,912. Stanley Township Mtg. W1 .' Glen returned' on Wednesday last from a visit o several days with her daughters and other relatives in Toronto. Ilir. John Macfarlane shipped one of his Shropshire lambs to an Al- goma purchaser: the other day. Need less to say the price was a sub stantial one. The township council met on Sat- urday and had a somewhat busy af- ternoon passing accounts for gravel, work on bridges and sundry other ex- penditures. It was also decided to again ask for tenders for the excava- tion of 30;,500 cubic yards of Stanley Big. Drain and taps leading thereto. Probably . one third of this is new work on' the taps, that is, the 'smal- ler- drains leading: to the big one; The latter is to be cleaned out. When the big drain was dug about twelve years ago it cost thirteen cents per yard but the engineer in his estim- ate- last ' spring put the new work down at seventeen cents per yard: But all tine tenders put in were above that, figure and it docs not now seem probable that they can be brought down to the engineer's estimate. Miss Maggie Clarke, who spent the holidays under the parental, roof, has returned to Berlin. Miss Pearl Duncan is spending a Pew weeks visiting friends in Meat!. ivary township. Misses Flossie , and Anna` May Stephenhon have returned home after spending a 'few days with friends at Wngiram, Mr,, and Mrs. Thos..

Lahr Sunday the Presbyterians held very successful anniversary services, when the Itev. Mr. Grant of Ayr preached good sermons. The offerings were liberal and the music all that could be desired, furnished by the choir of the church. Almost the seine words would des- cribe the anniversary services in the Methodist, church a few Sundays ago with the single exception that the Rev. Mr. Woods of Brucefield was the minister who preached very able sermons. A large number of auction sales are being held by farmers this : fall. In a nuniher of cases the farm is also offered for sale. Mr. Jas. Gras - sick held a very successful clearing sale recently, horses and cattle brought good prices, all amounting to about $3000. MMlr.

Good crops of beans are being threshed these days, from 150 bush- els up to 300 bushels being common yields. At 52.50 to $3;00 a bushel this crop will give handsome re - teeth as the yield is from fifteen to twenty bushels per acre.

Ditching Machines Pay e read so much these days about flying machines that it will be a change at least' to read about some- thing me- t1,ing more earthly. 1Y Last Friday ns ration of ' there was a demo the t work of a ditching machine on the farm of Nein McDougall, Arran Tp, There were about 200 present and tor the facts of this paragraph we are in. dented to Henry .nkeninaun, once 0 manufacturer, but now a farmer, The price of a ditching machine is 52,700 and with the freight and duty the total cost 18 about 53,600. The demonstra- tion was under the auspices of the 0. I A. C. The power is provided by gas- oline and the machine will dig from two to six feet of a twe foot drain in a minute. The machine •will dig no deeper than six feet and it leaves the drain ,'early for the tile. The Ole for the demonstration was provided free by 'a Shallow Lake brick maker, and our own Samuel Wright. Mr. Aitken - mann is of the opinion that a man would make more out of a ditching machine by taking contracts than from a threshing machine. The farm- ers in the locality where the demon- stration was given are considering the purchase of a ditching machine. This W t has: sonnet• Neinparticularlye shown farmers te necessiy of hav- ing their farces thoroughly drained.- Enterprise, AN INVITATION To our many friends in Clinton and surrounding country is extended a cordial invitation to visit our furnished rooms.
