The Sovereign Bank has opened an
office in Godei•ich, which for the pre-
sent is mules the management of Mr.
Il. T. Rance, the genial manager of
the Clinton Agency.
Iiodgens Bros. have got their cloth-
ing and gents furnishing business set-
tled in the building formerly Oeenpied
by W. H. Newcombe ; they certainly
have at very fine, commodious store.
It is currently repotted that a cer-
tain church choir in town will lose all
its soprano singers this summer; they
are charming young ladies, who, it is
said, have consented to snake the life
of certain young leen happy.
Nine farm laborers were last week
ticketed at Ilalifax, just after their
arrival from the Old Country, for
Clinton, but before they reached here,
they were picked up by farmers on
the train, who induced thein to
get off at intermediate points, and
their luggage, which came here, had
to be sent back to tizetn.
While some iron was being melted
in the casting roost of the Clinton
'1'hreslrer Co. on Thursday, prepara-
tory to moulding, an explosion took
place which blew out the end of the
cupola, wrenching apart heavy iron
doors, and breaking the windows by
its force. Fortunately no one was
near by at the moment, or they might
have been hurt.

Judgment has been given by Chief
Justice Faleonbridge in the action of
the Northern Elevator Co. vs. the
Lake Huron and Manitoba Milling
Co., which was tried without a jury
at Toronto. The action was for the
conversion of 10,000 bushels of wheat,
part of a cargo of 95,000 bushels ship-
ped by plaintiffs to defendants. The
teal issue, apart from any question of
completing between the parties, was
whether defendants had or had not
paid in full for the 95,000 bushels.
Held, upon the evidence, that the is-
sue should be determined in favor of
defendants. Action dismissed with
costs.

---The plan now nnder consideration
by the United States Congress for the
spending of $50,000,000 on coast forti-
ficattions includes the fortifications of
the interior cities on the great lakes,
such as Buffalo, (Cleveland, Detroit,
Milwaukee, Chicago, and Duluth,
Commenting on this, the Springfield
Republican very wisely says that the
agreement under which neither Ca-
nada or the States maintain warships
on the lakes should be made to apply
to land fortifications on the frontier
as well.
—A company of men in the village
of Brussels has been organized to
develop lands which they have under
lease in Elute, and adjoining township,
on which they claimed to have ex-
• cellent prospects of developing oil.
It is proposed to organize the com-
pany with a capital of 100,000 shares
of $1 per value each, and canvassers
have been sent out to solicit subscrip-
tions. D. C. Ross, merchant, is presi-
dent, and Dr. Holmes, vice-president,
of the company, with W. M. Sinclair
as secretary and soliciter.
Manson vs. Landsborough.—This
was one of the cases left over from the
Goderich assizes and was tried before
Judge Magee at Osgoode Hall on Sat-
urday, the 2tth. The action was
brought by the plaintiff, a widow re-
siding in the township of Tucker -
smith, to recover the smn of $1,000 for
looney lent, as she alleged, to the
defendant. The defendant did not -
deny that he got the money, but he
claimed that it was a gift from the
plaintiff to her daughter, the defend-
ant's wife. The plaintiff denied this.
The judge held that the onus of prov-
ing that it was i gift rested on defend-
ant, and that he failed to do so.
Judgment was granted plaintiff for
$1,036.67.
The promoters of the Maitland
River Power Co. have received their
chatter, the company being capitaliz-
ed at $500,000. Arrangements are be-
ing made to begin active work and a
proposition will shortly be laid before
the town council in connection with
the project. On Wednesday an
engineer representing a Detroit com-
pany was in town, and discussed with
the directors a steel and concrete dawn
which his company builds, and which
it is claimed has many advantages
over the ordinary rock and earth darn.
So far as he had examined the Power
Company's proposal, he was of opinion
the work could be easily carried out,
and would undoubtedly prove a pay-
ing investment in sale of power.

—The Traders Bank is building one
of those very high buildings in Tor-
onto, known as "sky -scrapers," be-
cause of their great height. In order
to accommodate the elevator 'plunge,'
a pit 200 feet sleep must be made.
The building will contain 284 rooms,
and strange to say, they are all leased
even before the building is erected,
many applications having been re-
ceived for the floor below the ground
level. The building will be supported
by 36 main pillars ; each of these will
sustain a weight of one million lbs.
The Listowel Standard says :—"Ow-
ing to the energetic action of the
authorities, all danger of infection
from the cases of glanders in Elma
township may be said to be entirely
over. All horses that could be found
affected have been destroyed, barns
and premises effectively disinfected
and no precaution omitted to com-
pletely stamp out the disease. In
talking with the official inspector, he
said that the matter was now well
under control, and that there is little
or no danger of the trouble spread-
ing."
— Over 40,000 cattle were shipped
from the Calgary district to England
last year. The big cattleman of the
Cadge' y district is P. 0. Barns. He
shipped 2,500 loads last season and I e
has 20,000 head on hand now. Burns
went to Calgary from Kirkfield, Ont.,
abort twenty-five yeiu•s ago, anal be-
gan life by plowing up the prairie at
so much per acre. He turned his sav-
ings into cattle, and let them graze on
Government lands. As he made more
money he bought more cattle, and to
make a long story short he is now a
millionaire.
—Another rural telephone service is
being organized --this time near For-
est. It is called the People's, and will
have 35 miles of rural line, and, it is
expected, 200 subscribers, in Forest.
The company has bought a lot of
abandoned telegraph poles, already in
position, at 60c. The phones will cost
subscribers $20 each, and each man
will own his own instrument. He
will pay $10 as his starting fee ; after
that the annual charge is expected to
stand at $2. It is hoped that other lines
will be established, and that conversa-
tions can be had with neighboring
towns at 5 cents.
Kansas City, Mo., March 29.—Gre-
gory D. McLean, a farmer, testified in
circuit court that in the last four
years he had spent every cent of his
fortune of $20,000 in trying to recover
the value of six steers worth $150.
Now he is seeking permission to con-
tinue the suit as a pauper, the state
to pay the costs. Judge McCune has
denied his petition. Four years ago a
neighbor of his shipped a carload of
cattle to Kansas City, and six of Me-
Lean's steers were by accident includ-
ed its the lmnelr. McLean followed
the cattle to the stock yards in Kansas
City and recovered three heed. Then
he sued the neighbor, and recovered
the value of the other three, $75.
Later he brought suit against the Chi-
cago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Rail-
road for damages and expenses hams -
red in making the recovery.
—A strange turn was given to the
Ripley fire business immediately after
tho trial of Fletcher last Tuesday.
Indeed, it seems that before the trial
took place, he made a confession, in
the course of which he implicated two
others in the burning net. The other
two, like himself, ttre barbers by pro-
fessiou, so that if Fletclu't's story is
true, the whole thing has been a bar-
bers' conspiracy. As we have said,
Pletclzer's trial took place on Tuesday
atncl next clay Constable Joseph Arm-
strong arrested the other two men, by
name Kenneth McCaskill and Mur-
doch McInnis. McCaskill was charg-
ed with conspiring with Murdoch Mc-
Innis and another person to commit
an indictable offence, to wit, to set
Dye to 0 cer•tniti building in Ripley
with intent to defraud. A like charge
was laid against McInnis, hilt lie was
discharged. McCaskill was sent up
for trial.

POULTRY NOTES.
Do not use eggs for hatching pur-
poses which are laid by liens kept in
close confinement, as such eggs are
Likely to produce weak chickens.
Have all the eggs in the incubator
as near the same size and age and
from the sante breed as possible, if
good, uniform results are expected.
Ili feeding onions to fowl remember
that they are liable to snake the eggs
taste. Onions, however, make a good
change for fowls in the Whiter.
The best thing to do with a hen
when she gets excessively fat is to
send her to market. She will be

laying purposes.
A good ointment to use for scaly leg
is made of bu•d, kerosene and a little
sulphur. Apply often and rub the
legs well, getting Os much under the
scales as possible.
Hens yarded alone will produce as
many eggs as when kept with the
male birds, but the eggs will sat
hatch. The rooster lots no influence
on the production of eggs.
One poultry keeper says that egg
shells slake good material to feed to
chickens. Pulverize them very finely,
as there is danger of teaching the hens
to eat eggs. If the shells are rut in
the oven until brown they will crush
very easily.
Fowl for table use should be long in
the body, wide in the back, full in the
breast and plump over the keel. Tak-
ing the legs as a centre there should
be more body in front of tate legs than
behind. The body should lie a paral-
lelogratn.

RAISING MILK CATTLE,
Selection of She and Care of Dash
Feeding the Calf.
My care of a calf begins with the
rare before the cow is served, writes a
Pennsylvania farmer in American Ag-
riculturist. I prefer a sire two years
old at least, I keep him thrifty and
vigorous. During the service season he
is limited to two services a day, one in
the morning and one at evening, and
only one service to a cow. I believe
this plan insures a strong, healthy calf
at birth, provided the dam has been
properly fed and cared for during preg-
nancy. My cows have only ordinary
i allow care, but I aim to them to
go dry at least two months previous to
calving. I lose a little milk by giving
them so long a rest, but believe I make
it up in the calf, if he is well enough
bred to be worth raising at all.
When a cow is about to calve I place
her in a comfortable box stall, using
plenty of straw. After the calf is born
I give the cow a pail of warm drink
and leave the calf with her from
twelve to twenty-four hours, or until
he has nursed once or twice, to be sure
that he gets well filled with the first
milk. This is nature's provision for his
first food, and I want to be sure that
he gets it. He is thenn placed by
him-
self
and the cow is returned to her ac-
customed place with the rest of the
herd. The ealf is now fed. new milk
from a pail for a week or ten days,
when I begin to put in part skim milk.
At about two weeks old he is on bis
regular ration, which is four or five
quarts skim milk, to which is added a
tablespoonful of ground flaxseed. I
prepare the flaxseed by putting it into
an earthen dish and pouring a teacup-
ful of boiling water upon it and allow-
ing it to stand from one feeding time
until the next, when it is stirred into
the milk and more prepared for the
next feed.
When the calf is about one month
old he will begin to eat hay and grain.
I feed him all he will eat of both, pref-
erably clover hay. For grain I have
bad good results with one part, by
measure, cornmeal, two parts oats and
two parts brau. The above ration is
fed for four or five months. The milk
and flaxseed are then discontinued. As
my calves come in the fall or early
winter, they are ready to be placed on
pasture, I would like to continue the
grain feed, but find they do not care
for it when they have plenty of grass.
Good Cows Hard to Get.
When you find it difficult to procu.e a
good cow you should remember that
a cow of this class is seldom for sale.
She fills her place so perfectly that the
owner naturally refuses to part with
her. The "breacby" or otherwise de-
fective kind are always on the market,
but the wise owner Is loath to let go of
a good thing.
IMilk and Butter Notes 1
$
ICAUGflT COLD
ON THE C.P.R.
A. dustless milking room is desirable,
Milk should not stand in the .st
If milk is aerated it should be done be-
fore cooling and in pure air. The soon-
er the milk is cooled after milking the
better. Keep the milk as cold as pos-
sible when once cooled.
Skimming Milk.
Professor Farrington of the Wiscon-
sin Dairy school sums up the different
methods of skimming in the following
brief manner:
"These methods are the shallow pans,
the deep setting of cans of milk in cold
water, the water or aquatic separator
and the centrifugal separator.
"The water separator is so inferior a
method that it is not used by the best
dairymen at the present time. The oth-
er three methods are still*in use, but
the centrifugal separator is the most
efficient of them all. The losses of but-
ter fat in the skim milk are greatest
when milk is set in shallow pans. Deep
setting in cold water is a little better,
but the centrifugal separator may be
run so as to leave only one-tenth per
cent butter fat in the skim milk.
Influences on Butter.
A real lover of dairy work—and no
other should ever engage in dairying—
will not think it irksome to comply
with the little details of neatness, says
an Ohio dairyman in Farmers Advo-
cate. This is a most important subject.
How many milkers go direct from their
stable work to milking with unwashed
hands and soiled clothing: Many smoke
while milking, and, should part of the
contents of the pipe get spilled into the
milk pail, what of it? Much more bac-
teria than are necessary to ripening of
cream will find their way into the milk
pall unless proper care is taken of the
udder and of the milkers' clothes, hands
and habits.
Dairy, Dots.
Milk separates best immediately aft-
er being drawn, while the natural heat
Is still In it.
The salt in i,utter will remain in
grains, not being dissolved, if the but-
ter is worked very dry.
The best time to skim is when the
milk has thickened just a little at the
bottom of the vessels.
height of the Milking Stool.
The milking stool should be made to
suit the person using it and be rather
high—high enough so that when being
used the milker's arm from the shoul-
der to elbow hangs nearly straight
down. The weight of the arms then
comes naturally on the shoulder, and it
is not necessary to raise the whole arm
when grasping the teats at each stroke.
Moreover, It is much easter on the cow
than, when a low stool Is used, for, in
this case, the milker, after grasping the
teat, rests the whole weight of his arm
On the teat, and this, with the jerking,
is not conducive to comfort for the cow.
A. stool of the proper freight Will enable
most milkers to handle fully one-third
more cows without fatigue than if the

A. E. Mumford tells how Psychine
cured him after the Doctors
gave him up
"c It is twelve years since Psychine cured
me of galloping consumption." The
speaker was Mr. A. E. Mumford, six feet
tall, and looking just what he is a husky
healthy farmer. He works his own farm
near Magnetawan, Ont.
" I caught my cold working as a fireman
on the C.P,R." he continued. "I had
night sweats, chills and fever and frequent-
ly coughed up pieces of my lungs. I was
sinking fast and the doctors said there
was no hope for me. Two months treat-
ment of Psychine put me right on my feet
and I have had no return of lung trouble
since."
If Mr. Mumford had started to take
Psychine when he first caught cold he
would have saved himself a lot of anxlety
and suffering. Psychine cures all lung
troubles by killing the germs—the roots of
the disease.

q Grand Mogul Teas are
a positive blend of super-

Q Mountain grown in Cey-

q They are a contribution
