Bldg., To Help Other Sufferers. Collingwood, May 25, '05 D. A. Cameron & Co. Sirs—I was a terrible sufferer from rheumatism for months. I hacl it in my feet and ankles and at last it reached my heart. I could scarcely walk around the house. I doctored for a long time and spent money on every kind of medi- cine any one would toll me of. I be- `leeame so discouraged I did not care what "became of me. A gentleman was in and advised me to get a bottle of your Rheumatic Cure and I must say I had very little faith when I sent for it, but all I could do was to try it, and had only taken half a bottle when I saw a change for the better and when I had taken the second bottle I was cured. I tell to everyone what it has done for me and have given your address so they could send. I feel I shall never be able to praise your wonderful cure enough for I firmly believe I would have been a cripple if I had not received your cure when I did. Trusting you will accept my humble thanks for what you have done for me. I remain, Yours truly, MIss A. L. BOLLEN.

J. Findlay, of Detroit, who was one of the leaders in the Fenian movement of 1800. The letter bears slate of June 2, 1800, and was found on the street, having been dropped by the party to whom it was addressed. The original of the letter was sent to Col. Hawley, then in com- mand of the "regulars" at London, Ontario, —It is not improbable that we shall have a yield of 80,000,000 bushels in fall and spring wheat combined in Ontario, or equal to our best previous yield. But even onr best is to -day a poor second to Manitoba and the West. Ontario is at last hopelessly distanced in the matter of wheat pro- duction. This does not mean, how- ever, that we are taking second place from a general agricultural stand- point.

John McBain, an old retired farmer, died shortly after noon on Saturday last, at the home of Mrs. Grant, on Beownlie St, Deceased haul reached the age of 88 years and 0 months. He had been gradually losing strength for a number of years and died from a general wearing down of the system. He had come from the Old Country in the early pioneer days of Culross, and settled on the farm adjoining the Kin- loss boundary on the Sth con. He left the farm twenty years ago and carne to live in Teeswater. Win. Cousins, who on Monday of last week was tried at Walkerton for the shooting of Alex. Colvin, was sen- tenced by Judge Klein on Thursday to four months in Walkerton jail. Some surprise is expressed at the lightness of the punishment for so grave an offence. The evidence given before the Court went to show that Cousins was only trying to frighten Colvin, and the Judge was doubt- less influenced by a petition presented by the prisoner's lawyer and largely signed by people of Teeswater, asking for leniency on the ground of Cousins' previous good conduct.—[News. Hamilton, July 31.—Doctors have at last abandoned all hope of saving fif- teen -year-old Olive Clegg's life. For five months past the girl has hovered between life and death in a hospital, and was recently sent to Guelph for treatment. While adjusting a belt in a tailor shop her scalp was torn com- pletely off, with part of an ear. The skin was torn off from the eyebrows to the nape of the neck. Two broth- ers of the lady at whose place the child was injured, and six girls, mein - hers of St. George's Church Friendly Society, submitted to losing pieces of cuticle two months ago, in hope of saving her life.

The horse has 40 teeth, while cattle and sheep only have 82 each. The 44 teeth of the pig consist of six incisors, two canines, eight reulolar anal six molar, teeth in each jaw. Another peculiar fact about the dentition of the pig is that while the incisors, or front teeth, in the upper jaw bear a close resem- blance to those of the horse, the cor- responding teeth in the lower jaw closely resemble those of a dog. It is also worthy of note that the molars of the pig gradually increase in size from the front to the rear, the most back- ward of these grinders being ever so many times larger than those in front.

High Art Tailor 'gingham PLEA FOR DEHORNfNO. THE COUNTY COUNCIL. Friday, July 29th, the County Coun- cil held a special meeting in Clinton, all the members being present. The meeting having been specially called to appoint land valuators, the follow- ing applications were react for the positions : Wm. 'Bawden, John Leckie, John Cox, J. Bowman, T. E. Hays, M. Y. McLean and Wm. Clegg. It was decided to appoint three valuators, and that the remuneration be $5 a day, including expenses, while engaged valuing county property. The names were then balloted on and Messrs. Bawden, Cox, and Leckie were appointed. Messrs. Isbister and McQuillan mov- ed that the Council conenr• in the judgment handed down by the High Court in Ashfield vs. county of Huron, and that the consent judgment be now ratified—carried. Mr. Cantelon called attention to the abutments being built for the Prairie bridge at Wingham, and said that large stones were being used contrary to specifications, which provided that nothing larger than world pass through a 2i ineh ring were to be used. Mr. Isbister was appointed to inspect the work at this bridge and see that it was properly done ; and Mr. Lamont was appointed to inspect Bayfield bridge in the same way. The Building Comnriteee reported having met at the House of Refuge on the 28th and found the new addition to that institution nearly completed. Mr. McBride, the architect, was pre- sent and expressed himself as satisfied - with the work, but called Mr. Cooper's attention to some minor platters not completed. The Council visited the House in a body, and the members expressed themselves as well satisfied with the addition made by Mr. Cooper. They said the work was exceedingly well done. (%ottncil then adjourned. A visit any market day to the To- ronto cattle markets would make a decided impression upon any obser- vant person who is of a humane dispo- sition. There is an impression on the hind of many people that the dehorn- ing of cattle is a barbarous act. In past year's when the cattle roamed the bush and further west the wide range, the horns of the animals were their weapons of defence against other ani- mals or wild beasts. Time has wrought great changes. No horns are needed now for defensive use. In- telligent farmers know that firm yet gentle handling conduces to the best results in feeding or dairy cattle. The truth is that in our day the horns of strong animals are used in ripping up the hide of a weaker or less wary ant, mal, causing such Steel' or heifer nitwit pain, A pitiable sight (unfortunately occut'ing rveekly) is an animal with a broken horn, often caused by transit on the cattle cat's or locking horns Such an animal ' animal. with another at . suffers more pain in one day than is filleted in dehorning one hundred animals. Exporters of live animals often suffer pecuniary loss through horned animals becoming excited on the long jourtleys to British ports. All calves that are raised for feeders or the (lairy should be tubbed with caustic potash to prevent the growth of the horns, Veterinarians are scat- tered who would the tered all overprovince soots attend to the business,—(Taranto Wot'M, "Western" A Winner How The London Exhibition Has Adhered to Educational Fea- tures While Embodying Entertainment as Well. A DOMINION BULLETIN. Purohass of Here's in Canada icor the impsrisl Army,--Muoh Miaundsr- standing ..Cl•arsd Away. A. great deal of misunderstanding having arisen concerning the (Meets of the Imperial Qoverntnent in sending oialcere to this country to purchase herpes, or rather to *tee if horses Butt• tibia for the British Army can be pur- chased, the following short summary Of the position should prove of value. This statement may be regarded as ab• eolutely correct and authoritative. First and foremost, the demands Pt the British Army In peace time can be easily met within the four corners of the United Kingdom, That demand Is not large, and may be taken as a nor - ;nal one of 2,600 horses annually, rie- Ing in certain years to possibly 3,500 of all kinds and classes. There is an idea abroad, and certain Ministers and statesmen in this coun- try hate brought it forward a d may y be considered responsible for it, that If the Imperial Government will pur- chase annually a fixed number of horses, say from 300 to 500, in Canada, a great stimulus will be given to horse breeding generally, and to breeding of the military type of horse in particu- lar. Falling in with this idea, the Im- perial authorities 'are anxious to put it to the test and, for reasons of their own, they fully recognize the advan- tage that will accrue to the Empire from the opening up of a large and lim- itless market that can be drawn upon to meet the immense demand that will be created in time of war. The real question then that has now to be an- swered by the practical experiment of purchase during the next few months, le, can suitable horses be procured, and at an average price that will, when the horses are landed in England, fav- orably compare with that paid for re- mounts throughout Great Britain and Ireland? The average price paid in England Is an open secret; it is £ 40, or say $200. The cost of freight and insur- ance will certainly not exceed another *50, leaving ;150, or possibly slightly more, to be paid for the animals select- ed on the spot. A higher price can be paid for horses of special color and type, such as horses suitable for offi- cers' charges and Household Cavalry: It is therefore obvious that Canada is on its trial as to its ability to supply a suitable horse for army purposes. It is, further, of more importance to Canada than to anyone else that , as the horses purchased will be regarded in England, as well as in this country, as typical, it will be in every way a great misfortune if those sent home are of a class and quality that will engen- der a belief that the Canadian horse is of an inferior type, Such a belief evil probably do more harm to Cana- dian horse breeding and the reputation of Canadian horses than anything else. Two classes of horses are to be bought. 1st. Riding horses, fit for heavy and light cavalry, from say 15 to 15 3.4 hands. 2nd. Draught horses fit for being driven postillion, with Horse and Field Artillery. The latter must not be less than 1,230 lbs., 15.2 to 15.3 1-2 hands in height, strong, active, and with good shoulders to enable them to move fast, and even to gallop, when required; the age should be from c4 off to 6 years. In all cases the British Government re- quire horses with short backs, good shoulders, plenty of bone and distinct evidence of quality. In the case of riding horses, those with a near cross of the thoroughbred are most likely to take the eye of the in- specting officers. The British remount officers are in possession of detailed specifications, showing the exact type and qualifica- tions of the horses required. For thirty-eight years the people of Western Ontario and points more dis- tant have been visiting the Western Fair. It has conte to be recognized as the great rallying point for all the people of this peninsula. Small was its beginning. It can't live, said onlookers. No annual fair of its dimensions had ever been made to pay its way before. But the Western Fair wits establish- ed on iL solid and logical foundation. It started out to foster attd develop the agricultnral and industrial arts. It aimed to make farmers better' farm- er's ; to make artisans better artisans to keep the people posted in a peacti- cril way in the general progress of the world. Ii. has adhered closely to these lines, - .11 sprits a�Cie It • heforemost rd isuow t iL 1g and industrial annual fair hi Northern America from an edltcationitl soma - paint.

Hardy, the American 131cnldin, who bas several tithes 'crossed the Niagara Gorge o11 a slendor rope, will give daily performances on the high wire. Thiseat' it will be held from Sept. 8th to 16th. Filling the Silo. The work of filling the silo is greatly facilitated by means of a dis- tributer. This consists of a galvanized iron pipe and hopper. The hopper is hung to the rafters of the silo in such a way as to receive the cut corn as it comes from the carrier and conduct it SILAGE DISTRIBUTER. to the pipe, which Is twelve or thirteen inches in diameter. The Joints of the pipe are connected to each other and the whole to the hopper loosely by means ofsnaps and chains, giving free play. Those who have been in the silo 'al filling time and understand how the heavier parts of the feed are thrown to the farther side of the silo, while the leaves and lighter parts fall beneath the Carrier, will appreciate the value of the distributer, which enables a man simply by directing the bottom of the pipe around the silo to distribute it evenly and thoroughly mix it. Then the heavy corn, falling through the long chute, packs itself far more thoroughly into the silo than it can be tramped by men after it has been forked up loose in distributing. Fattening Old Cows. The cheapest way to fatten old cows is to turn them dry, let them summer on grass, giving them a few pumpkins and a little green corn and fodder, sweet corn preferably. If not too old they will get quite fat at small cost. It does not pay to let cows get old and broken down unless they have been valuable as breeders.—Cur. Breeder's ge-A kte..

Sleep not only rests, but builds up the body. Cut down the hours of sleep, and you cut clown health in the same proportion.
