Huron's erations Murray, of Harpurhey, • Alamein. GLAI.N.—We have received from Mr. Wm. Murray, jr, of Port Fin- lay, Algoma, saanples of wheat and. oats grown GE the farxn -of Mr. Thos. Murray, son of Mr.. Wm. Murray, of Harpurhey. The wheat stalks measure SL feet in length, and the oat stalks five feet nine inehes. Both wheat and oats are well headed out and present every appearance oflurnishing an abundant yield. Mr. Marray's farm 18 situated in the town; ship of Laird, on the Sault Ste Marie River, and about 39 miles south-east of the tose-n of Sault Ste Marie. These saMples prove that Algoma is capable -of producing excellent grain and ithat its 301 must be very fertile. We hope, hriwever, that the wheat will not meet ertth the „same fate that has befallen the spring wheat in this section. 1 A-NoTHER Goon SAL-F.—Mr. John Illannah of the Seaforth, Creamery, has Id his July make, of butter for 18a ,nts per pound. There Will be about 6,000 pounds. This is half a cent a pod more than the butter manufac- tured at the Model Farm Creamery for the same month sold. foi. a -This speaks volumes for the qu lity of the butter manufactured at the Seaforth creamery. These sales of crea ery butter should set our farmers thinking. Theepatrons oT the creamery wila get for their butter WI cents clear of all expenses, while tae most that can b got for private - made butter at the jresent time is 12 cents per -pound. The creamery patrons,: theaefore, get 21 cents per pound more, and, save all the labor and expense of manufacturing and marketing,and many hold that a larger yield of butter is got from a given amount of cream. And stili, in view of these plain and potent facts, there are many who will persist 'i4 coutinuina the practice of makina their own butter although they would: by sending their cream to the factory, save all the labor and , get n cents per patina more for their butter. • , x-1*LANATIo.N.—Two weeks ago a mmunication appeared in ME Ex - a sietat under the heading of "Belgrave cl signed "Paul Pry," in which, al- ough no names were given, the condi) et several parties was animadverted upon very severely, and they were cle- ated sufficiently plain to be known m. the neighborhood.

If this is the case we, are very s,(nry that we have been led iato injur- lag any innocent parties, and deem it our duty to make this statement in con- nection with the matter.
