The knowledge gained in year of study
of the Clothing business enables uS to se ect
with taste and judo' ent values in CI the
lug, and more partici.' arly at this eeas n ;
values in Overcoates in both Ulster and
Dress styles.
We by no means ay claim to selling the
cheapest Overcoats in the market, for there
is a elites of goods we vould not give shop
room to, let alone insult the good judgment

article. It is upon
this basis that our trade is built " That
there is nothing too good for the purchasing
public."
So that when it comes to talking about
rlsters and all, other kinds of Coats we are
not attempting to talk or • deal with trashy
shoddy goods.
The first coat we mention is at $5.50.
Bladk Frieze, double stitched edges and
seams, wool lined, this makes quite a Dreesy.

. The second lot is priced at .$7, at t is
price we have six distinct shades. he
goods are very much the same, each Vary' g
an ounce or two in the weight of the fri ze
cloth used.
The third line is a lot we take spe ial'
pride in, as it is made. by oureelves, and he
price is $10, Of course this reachesa gr de
of goods which the ordinary factory -in de
eta.' does not begin to equal.
The fourth and last lot is a Fine Grey Scotch Twill
collar, fly front, wool checked lining, double stitched'
.12. This is certainly a handsome coat.
peaking of Fur Coats, we might tell of
the case ofa man to whom we sold
a $45 Coon Coat the other day. He said :
"1 have been dealing with your firm off and
on now for five years, and I thought to
myself, well these. fellows have treated me
right in small things, so I think that they
will do th5 same in large things"
That comes of dealing fairly with a man,
we sold him the Coat, Made a fair profit, and
he asked ue our best price, made no objection
thereto, saving further as he laid. down his
hard earned money : " I don't beerrude this
because I know I am getting value for it."
Plices are nothing, talk is nothing, for
there is, only one standard to measure the
weath of anything, and that is the satis-
faction yr get -out of what you do buy.

IN DAYS OF OLD.
We here publish extracts; from a letter
°calved from ouir old friend ; Mr. Robert
MoNaughton. Mr. McNaughton, was a
former resident Of McKillop, but for a num-
ber of years haeresided in Duluth, Minne-
sota. Although parted from us for so long,
•0 still has a wenn place in his heart for

Your valued paper almost invariably

Winter reeding of Ca le,
DEAR Exeosrron,-.---As winter is upon us,
the feeding of stock is a most ienportant
question with the farmers, more important
than politics. # bulletin giving the differ-
ent mixtures of 'coarse feeds and gr in with
straw end hay,, and their value as
rations
for cattle would'be of much value. Cattle'
require' protein, carbohydrates and fat in '
proper proportions for beefing or dairy pur-
poses. 1 A cow Weighing 1,000 ,poOnds will
need about 20 Olinda - of dry matter each
day to 'keep her lin good condition and this
ehould bontain ahout 2.25 pounds of protein,
12 poprids of carbohydrates and .75 pounds
of fat. Some authorities say protein stands
to carbohydrates as 1 to 16. From the fol.
lowing table youi can see haw to mix such
feed:
1 s. dry lbs.lbs. car= lbs.

Hoard's Darr man says that bran and
middlings are wtorth about $ 4 a ton for
feeding, oat dust $10, and whe t $13 a ton.
This is contrary to the opinio of many far-
mers I know, bot chemistry is a better
guide than "1 think." Oil c ke should be
fed in ; all rations, as it con ains so much
protein Salt s ould be adde to the feed
each day to aid igestion. A ow shouldebe
given about 100 ounds of water a day to
put on fat or to ive milk. T e above table
of analysis is ta en fnirm Hoar 's Dairyman,
and is the last r vised standard now used.
Farmers can easi y make a balanced ration
from those nam d and save considerable
money by so d big. Professor Robertson
says that about e ven pounds of grain a day
is all a cow can profitably convert into milk,
and the same is tlrue for beef, as what will
make one poadd of beef will make one
pound l of milk. ti
