The farmers who delivered beets to the Wiarton beet sugar factory re- ceived 30i per cent of the value of their beets from the government. -Mr, Andrew McPherson of Tees. water has purchased Mr. John Mc- Xague's 100 acre farm, a mile and a quarter west of the village. The price paid is $6,500 and Mr. McPher- son is to take possession the first of April.

Nothing will go to waste. Energetic business men are in charge of things, and the establish- ment is to be conducted on correct business lines. Montreal, Jan. 27, -Madam Louis Rosseau, about the oldest resident of Montreal Island, died yesterday at Verdul, aged 104. The old lady had habitually smoked ever since she was nine years old, using a clay pipe, but it never seemed to affect her health. She retained her faculties to the very last, and seenaed bright and Intel- ligent. -The Government of the Orange River Colonys'has sent a young Boer farmer, Mr. Neethling, over to the Ontario Agricultural College to study Canadian methods. Mr. Neethling says that Mr. Palmer and his Ontario associates are doing' an excellent work in itnproving agricultural methods in South Africa, and the Boer farmers in both colonies are in sympathy ,with their work. -The act passed some years ago un- der which the government bore one- fifth of the cost up to $500 of es- tablishing cold storage warehouses - expires in March. The Ontario Fruit Growers' Association have decided to ask the government to extend the time for another five years, and also to give the same aid to the estab- lishment of central fruit -shipping stations. It has also been decided to take steps to form local 'fruit grow- et�s associations throughout the pro- vince. :_: SALES DEPARTMENT :_: 4. x78 Mountain St. X ;i; MONTREAL - QUE. ;i; 2 :i� -OR- Y t To any Local Manager of 1 the Bell Telephone Com- j ._: pany of Canada. •.r..;. ❖ .O.r.. 4..1..:40 0.0.. 4.+.0.:..x..00.0..0 ..................

(Weekly Sun.) The Public Accounts of Ontario for 1903 show that the Province was then engaged in paying off a debt which, before it is fully staid off, will take from the people of Ontario, in princi- pal and interest, nearly six and three- quarter million dollars, This debt has all been incurred as a result of the policy of subsidizing railways,. The statement in the Public A.c- counts of 1.903 does not show the entire liabilities of the Province, Other sub- sidies have been voted since 1903, and some, voted previous to, that period, have not yet, owing to the non -com- pletion of the lines subsidized, been paid out. It is probably safe to say that the Province will be compelled to pay, in interest and principal, eight or nine million dollars on account of sub- sidies already voted, Quebec has gone even further in this course than Ontario. The sister Pro- vince to -day has a gross debt of $30,- 000,000, practically all of which is clue to the freedom with which legislators there have yielded to the demands of railway promoters, There is taken from the Quebec treasury every year one and a half million dollars to pay interest on the Provincial debt which has been created. Quebec's interest charge is greater than the entire stun spent by' the Provincial Government of Ontario for education and adminis- tration of justice. Where Quebec is now Ontario will be unless the people of this Province demand that the policy of subsidy granting shall absolutely cease. -The Goderich Star says :-From time to time we have had Huron crack shots on the Birley team,•bnt a new hero has developed in the person of Mr. Sohn Newcombe, a valued member of the Goderich Township Rifle Association. At 200 yards, five shots, he has scored five straight bullseyes ; at 400 yards, four bullseyes and an inner, 24 out of a possible 25 ; 20 shots at 400 yards, 97 points out of a, possible 100. This is a marksman's record which might court the chal- lenge of an Empire crack shot. Our township association has done much to encourage good marksmanship, and fortunately we have some good material. -The size of farms in Japan runs from less than two up to about three and three-quarter acres apiece. Even these diminutive farms are often in several separate pieces, the average size of which is about one-eighth of an acre. During the past four years a law has been in operation for the rear- • rangelnent of these scattered farms. The owners are to exchange fields, in such a manner as to make their pos- sessions more compact. The spirit of scientific progress is behind the move- ment, the Government wishing to en- large the cultivated fields so that agricultural machinery may be used. With all his primitive ways, the Japanese farmer manages to make his soil very productive by thorough cultivation and fertilization. Sugar advanced 10c. a cwt. whole- sale last week, and all signs point to a further increase, within the next few days. Fifteen years ago one dol- lar would buy just ten pounds of white sugar, and it is not improbable that history will repeat itself, before the year is out, The increase in price is due to a decrease in the supply and an increase in demand. The Brussels Conference two years ago abolished the bounty which the German Gov- ernment was paying for the export of support of sugar from that country. Then the German Surtax bobbed up, further discouraging the importation of German Sugar. Besides all this, the production of cane sugar has greatly fallen off, owing to the low price, until now Canada has to depend almost entirely upon the sugar beet for her supply of sugar. Dr. Shuttle- worth tirade the statement here last week, that all the sugar used in Cana- da is beet sugar, but contended that as to quality there is no difference. Sugar is sugar, no matter what source it wines from. -[Walkerton Telescope. W. F. VanStone :: LIFE FIRE INSURANCE Iiighest Price Paid for all: ..r kinds of Logtl.

Stanbury of the London Road was kicked on the side by a colt on Tuesday and was so s. verely injured that he has since been confin- ed to bed. W. C. Searle recently underwent- an operation, which confined him to his room for several days ; his many friends will be glad to know that he is recovering from the effects thereof. A number of the older ]parried ladies of town have taken the craze to once more enjoy the pleasure of skat- ing and many of them have not for- gotten their old time gracefulness on the ice. The schoolhouse at Summerhill was sold by auction on Friday last and knocked down to Mr. S. S. Cooper for $225. The building is of brick, was built four years ago and cost $1550, of which over $600 yet remains to he paid. A young ladies hockey club is likely to be formed in Clinton with the fol- lowing young ladies as members :- Misses Hoover, Stanley, Wiseman, Copp, McCaughey, Lula, Gunn. To see them practise affords lots of fun, although many of them are very active on the ice, and handle the stick well. J. E. Cantelon attended the annual tournament of the Hamilton Gun Club last week and as usual kept up his past reputation. Shooting from the thirty yard mark, the heaviest handicap inflicted on any Canadian, ha won high Canadian average on live birds and second average, including Americans, killing 63 out of 68. Ben. Webb, of Clinton, has a curi- osity in the shape of potato growing directly through another. Last year he took a sound potato, and cutting a slit across an eye on either side, plac- ed the potato in a pile of old papers, having read that a potato would grow without air or earth. The result is a well developed potato which has forc- ed its way through the original slits on both sides. Dang r Of Diving With Consumptives.

CALIFORNIA DAiRY COWS, Otilta $rt►d Uolsteins Ilam Mads Trine Meeurdar I+or /Mk +stets Butter, Wonderful capabilities for milk and butter production have been discovered by the University of California antrual iaduatries experts of tits agricultural department in their tests of the cows on the famous stock farm at Rough and Ready ieland, near Stockton, the joint property of Charles D. and W. Prank Pierce. Q. L. Coke of the Berke- ley .department has been testing 1h15 magnificent herd of Holsteins, and al- ready a larger number of cows have qualified for the Advanced register in ofiicial butter tests than from any other herd in the world. Although only three years old, this collection of cattle out- ranks herds a quarter of a century' old, so successful have been the breed- ing operations conducted by the own-.- ers. Juliana de Kol, a two-year-old heifer, ranks today as the finest Holstein in the world. In appearance and per- formance she is perfect, She, like all the other cattle on the farm, has reach- ed a point where she Is milked three times a day. This product is weighed each time and tested twice a Month, each time the tests being duplicated in the Berkeley dairy laboratory, Juliana de Kol has the world's record for milk and butter production in her class. She gave 66 pounds of milk on the first day of her test, 437 pounds in 7 days, 1,852 pounds in 80 days and 3,512 pounds in 60 days. On an 80 per cent basis her yield of butter on the first day was estimated at 8 pounds 9.8 ounces; in 7 clays, 22 pounds 8.9 ounces; in 80 days, 92 pounds 73i ounces; in 00 days, 175 pounds 91/4 ounces, the yield on the sixtieth day exceeding that on the first day, Juli- ana de Kol has thus smashed the thir. ty day record by 19 pounds 5 ounces for'the previous holder of the record, Homestead Aggie de Kol, owned by ex -President W. A. Matteson of the Holstein -Friesian association, had pro- duced in that time 1,572 pounds of milk and 78 'pounds 2.4 ounces of but- ter, Now that California is producing some of the best cows in the world, just as she has produced the best. horses, the University of California dairy department is looking forward to an early date when the vast possi- bilities for improved work in cattle breeding will receive recognition and aid from the state.

The bull is owned by a Missouri breeder. He is very large for his age, is well marked and is considered a very high class animal. Holsteins for milk are TYPE 1'9IIND IN MIDDi,ri Sou'rn. exceedingly popular in sections where this product is sold direct to consum- era. They are also popular in condens- ing factory regions, where farmers who sell milk to the eondensaries are in many instances very partial to 13o1 - stein cattle. In addition to that they are exceedingly healthy and vigorous and are seldom troubled with disease of any kind. -American Agriculturist. Inflammation of Udder. New York has a cow whose udder swelled and became hard on one side. The animal refused her food and had a chill, but in two days her appetite re- turned. The udder was bathed with a solution of hot saltpeter, but the part remains hard, although there is no heat in it, A little bloody matter comes from the teat on that side. In the ear- ly stages of this derangement give the cow one and a half pounds of epsom salts and an ounce of ginger dissolved In Water and taken at one dose; also keep the udder constantly wet with three ounces of acetate of lead mixed with a gallon of water until the swell- ing disappears. The animal usually gets well under this treatment in three days. When the udder or part of it be- comes hard and cold mix two drams of iodine with two ounces of vaseline and rub on a little every third day for sev- eral weeks. -Cor, American Agricultur- ist. Popular Breeds. None of the dairy breeds are com- ing to the front faster than the Hol- steins and the Guernseys, says Ameri- can Cultivator. 'These breeds are in the bands of men with ample resources and a thorough belief in the merits of their favorites, backed by enterprising associations and special papers devot- ed wholly to the breeds. There is some little rivalry between the two, as well as with other breeds, as a result of various public tests and the different conclusions drawn therefrom. The Holsteins, with their relatives, the Dutch Belted, illustrate the Rolland type of dairy cattle, while the Guerra- seys, Jerseys and Alderneys represent the Channel Island type. The general public is probably not tar wrong in its impression that whatever may be said of individual specimens or strains the strong points of the typical Hol- land dairy' cow are vigor, size and tho quantity of milk product, while the representative Channel Island cow is famous for docility, beauty and rich, lligh)y colored Milk.
