Owned by Mr. John Sholdice. She be-
came a teacher and taught at Pelee
Island. After her marriage to Wil-
liam B. McLean, she was a resident

Engagement Announced-,-
The
nnounced-The 'engagement is announced of
Jean Mar5orie, younger daughter of
Mrs. Hetherington and' the late
Major Isaac .Hetherington, M. C., of

quois balls, 'Ont., only son of Mr.

ary 1st, The child is the .daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Peck, of Bay-
field.
Eggs should be gathered .at least
twice a day, and three tines daily is
.better .cluring 'hot weather, The time
of one •gathering'should be just be-
fore dark or as near to it as possible.
Tris last ;gathering may not produce
a great number of eggs but since
broody hens will commonly search'
out the nest containing eggs after the
day's laying has ceased, failure to
gather late in the day is a common
source of ,distinct deterioration.
Each gathering should be placed.
in the coolest part of the .cellar if no
other cool spot is available, as soon
as gathered, Eggs should not be put
into
cartons or cases immediately if
this can be avoided, The ideal con-
tainer for cooling eggs is a wire tray,
A wire basket is the next 'best, and,
perhaps .the most practical These
baskets are ordinarily offered for sale
as waste paper containers.
