The guests were delighted with the evening's enjoyment and voted Mr. and Mrs. Edgar ideal host and hostess. The shipping of stock has been a sore distress to those engaged, this severe weather, owing to the irregular run of the trains, and want of cars. Cattle had to stand over night in the stock yards, Saturday, until some time on Sunday. The consignment, we understand was for Montreal, and it is doubtful if their condition was much improved by such usage. East Wawanosh. The oldest school trustee in Huron in point of service is Mr. David Scott of S. S.

Nethery, lot 40, con. 6, East Wawanosh. Their daugh- ter, Ada, was united in marriage to Mr. Matthew Henry Craig, a young farmer from near Londesboro. Des- pite the stormy weather the house was filled with guests. Rev. J. Ed- monds of Blyth performed the cere- mony in the impressive and beautiful form of the English Church, and a knot was tied that cannot be easily untied. The bride's sister, Mary, was bridesmaid and the brother of the groom was best man. The presents were many and useful, and testified to the esteem in which the young couple were held. They left the house amid a shower of rice and good wishes. They intended taking the afternoon train from Blyth for Sarnia, but the train was cancelled on account of the storm, and they drove to the parental roof of Mr. and Mrs. Robt. Craig to await the opening of the railway after the storm. 'I• WEST HURON INSTITUTE. Wingham School Board met on Wednesday evening ; present -Messrs. Homuth, Abraham, Moore, Kerr, Douglass, Irwin.

Holt, of the 4th con. was driving through Fordwich with his wife and child in a cutter, they were run into by a runaway team ; the cutter was pitched on to the horse ahead and the occupants received a few severe cuts and bruises about the face and head. One of the many spectators tells us it was the hardest sight he ever witness- ed, and could not see how the oc- cupants of the cutter were not killed instantly, The West Huron Farmers' Institute held a meeting at Auburn Jan. 9th. The deputation consisted of T. H. Race of Mitchell, and W. C. Shearer, of Bright. Mr. Race gave an address on ''The Orchard." The farmers should en- deavor to grow better stock of all kinds, better grain of all kinds, and also better fruit of all kinds. Every farmer should be a student of nature. Farmers should grow fruit because of the great market that is in the West for all kinds, especially apples. Orch- ards should be planted and well look- ed after. Trees should be planted 36 ft. in square or 30 ft. by 40 ft. Plant good shipping varieties, North- ern Spy, Greening, Baldwin, etc. Ben Davis is not a good quality.

John Bur ese Clerk, J. Snell Londesboro. gave a very g instructive and interesting address on his trip through the Western States in behalf of the Leicester Sheep Breed Salem. ers' Association. Mr. Shearer spoke on "How to Im- prove and Maintain a Dairy Herd." He said that every farmer should know just how each cow in his herd is doing by weighing her milk at least once a week. Then weed out poor milkers. By so doing the dairy herds of Ontario would be greatly improved and the output of butter and cheese in- creased without increasing the num- ber of cows and without extra food or labor. A dairy cow should be of the dairy type, wedge-shaped, udder well balanced and of good size, teats properly placed and large enough. A dairy cow should give from 7,000 to 10,000 pounds of milk in a season. Farmers and dairymen should en- deavor to keep flies off cows by using some of the different fly epraya. One is coal oil, gal. ; crude petroleum, gal. ; crude carbolic, cupful; fish oil, } gal. Dairy calf should not be raised the same as calf intended for beef. Feed dairy calf on bulky, cheap feed, with an addition of small grain ration. (Too late for last week) Mrs. J. W. Green is at present epending a few weeks in Toronto.
