'We are sorry to report the Dices of Mr. Will McDonald, of the 8th con.. Re is suffering from typhoid fever and for a few days his condition was quite serious. He IS now improv- ing, llfr. J, B. Coomhes, a former prin- cipal of Teeswater Public School, and litter science teacher in Mount Forest High School, has bought a grocery business in Iaistowel and will abandon teaching. The results of the Teeswater P. S. Continuation Class examinations were received yesterday.. Of the nine mein - bet's of the class seven are known to have passel their exam., a showing that is very creditable to themselves and their teachers. Mr, Adam Case returned home on Saturday after paying a visit to friends at Wiarton, Montreal and To - ionto. Mr. Case last saw Toronto 59 years ago when instead of the street car and automobile, oxen and wagons were the familiar means of locomotion to be seen on the streets. One of the oldest residents of Kin- loss and one of the very early settlers passed away on Thursday last, in the person of Win. Fraser who lived with his son, John, on the Oth con. Deceas- ed had been gradually sinking for • some time and died from a natural wearing down of the constitution. IIe had reached the age of 80 year's. Edward Bell of the 8th con., assist- ed by Geo. Couch, working at John- ston's blacksmith shop, completed the other day the construction of a machine that is calculated to scuffle and thin turnips. The implement is the invention of Bell who, we under- stand, has applied for patents in Ca- nada and the United States. It is cal- culated to take two rows at a time, the thinning being done by two sets of revolving hoes. Though it was known for some time 'a pre- carious Gillies' health was in that Dr. Gi 1 carious condition, general surprise was felt when on Tuesday it was learned that he had passed away at four o'clock that morning. The doc- tor has been in declining health for nearly two years, suffering from anemia (in common phraseology a turning of the blood into water) a disease, at present, regarded by the medical profession as incurable. He had been about the street until within a few days of his death when on ac- count of a rapid decline of strength he went to bed where he suffered a good deal from the excessive heat which prevailed during the latter days of the week. He was not so old as those who have long known him as a prominent figure in the life of the vil- lage would suppose. His age was 81 years and 10 months. MGM 'MILK CALF. A Story of Profit, Provided the Cow le a Good Milker, By D. H. Otis, Kan- sas Experiment Station. Th@@ questiop is often asked as to b w large a Akira Milk calf should bo a d what weight it should attain at i kr, agel'J. In order to give a sat- isfactory answer to this question we have averaged up the weights of a large number of skim milk calves that we have raised at this station. We see that at six months of age the average calf weighs 849 pounds. We see that the average skim milk calf consumes 858.9 pounds of skim milk, 124.1 pounds of grain and 387,2 pounds of hay to produce 100 pounds of gain. The feed cost of this 100 pounds of gain Is $2.68, the labor 91 cents, mak- ing a total of $3,59, This 858.2 pounds of skim milk represents 953.5 pounds of whole milk, which, with an average test of 4.08 per cent„ makes a butter fat yield of 38.9 pounds, The average price of butter fat at the college Creamery during th past year was 21.03 cents per pound. This mekes a total value of $8.20. Deduct from this the cost of raising a skim Clinton. The excursion to Sarnia on Satur- day last, from Wingham and inter- vening points. was pretty well patro- nized, over 30 tickets being sold here. • Last Wednesday, the new threshing machine of Morris & Morrel, while at work at Mr. W. Robinson's of Gode- rich township, went wrong and they sent to the foundry for a mechanic to • repair it and Mr. Jno. Holmes, one of the oldest employes of that company, was sent out, and while thus engaged, suddenly dropped dead. On Thursday afternoon last the en- gine of the freight train on the L. H. L1 B. coming north, met with an ac- cident between Brucefield and Kippen. A sidebar on the locomotive broke, and the end went through the side of the boiler, allowing all the water to es- cape. Fortunately no one was hurt, but the train was delayed until the ex= press pushed it back into Kippen. The charge against Mr. Peter Lewis of the Hotel Normandie of selling liquor over a second bar in his house on the 12th of July last, was decided on Friday against the defendant. The next day Mr. Lewis entered an appeal, so the matter goes to a higher court. Whatever may be the result in this particular case, there is but little doubt but that the Liquor Act will be so amended at the next session of the Legislature, that there will he no reason for question as to the exact meaning of the Act or the regulations bearing upon the sante, 6000 Tcl Telegraphersit`i4JuCcaiSgeneOfnt 1wsh riondpeOrretcilllteeasntyt decides that municipal corporations N I+: r D Iu D I keen their highways free front Annually, t cull the its ted by Iitttst 1 g 0 1 new pas ons croa llaiiroad and Telegraph Companies, We ' obstructions allied have it tendency LEARN TELEGRAPHY i travelling on the rosins. lair, I).

Going To The Western IN TWO WEEKS THE GREAT PiONEER FALL EXHIBITION AT LONDON WILL OPEN • COWS A • CALVING TIP/111. Feeding flefore and After Thle Hotta -Wu' of Hot Water. Our cows are liberally fed at all times of the year. After they are dry they are, of course, fed less. The grain feed at this time is usually ]mill feed--. bran and middlings or so called mixed feed—writes H, Cook in American Agriculturist, Oata are as good and at an equal pike would be preferable. Ilay and silage make the coarse foci, der ration. If they calve in summer time and there is a disposition to a caked or inflamed udder, we keep them in the barn for a time. I am satisfied it is a bad practice to reduce the feed while dry to a point where the cow loses nerve std muscu- lar force. If the feed is properly bal. ;laced and the ask content of the ra- tion is necessary, there will be no dan- ger of inflammation—in fact, I find where the system 1s nourished and strong there is less danger of reten- tion of the afterbirth and caked ud- ders, The main reason for this fear is the custom of feeding at this time feeds lacking in protein and ash, a practice sure to bring trouble. I have known farmers to feed four quarts of oats just after calving and feel sure it was the cause of the cow getting on well. This is tradition—feed her oats for four weeks before, and I am sure good will come from the prac- tice, Cows fed in this way will pass through the ordeal easily. I prefer to have them by themselves in box stalls, not in an adjoining room, but in the same stable where the tem- perature is the same and they feel quite at home. As soon as the calf is dropped I give the cow all the hot wa- ter she will drink. The animal is more or less feverish and needs water, but not cold or even cool water. I would prefer to give a small quantity of cold than none at all, But hot water—just as hot as she will take it—will take out the kinks and do more good than a V.S. and drug store combined. Try it. Whether the calf should stay with the mother is of less importance and may be a non-essential. It will largely depend upon the peculiarity of the mother. If she is inclined to hold up her milk when the calf is taken away I would not let it suck, but milk her and feed the calf. If the udder is caked and the cow is not irritated by u the calf i t will be a quick k and easy Y way of reducing the udder to a nor- mal condition. It is nature's method. I do not believe the mother and calf should be separated from sight at once after birth. It is not natural and cre- ates an unrest, often damaging to the future of the cow. The individuality of the mother should be noted and catered to at this time rather than the arbitrary judgment of the owner. P4• LIVING 1WNUMSNT TO SKIM MILK. (Average daily gain for 103 days, 2.29 lbs.) milk calf, $3.59, and we have left $4.61 to pay for the expenses of milking and hauling 963 pounds of milk to the creamery. These figures do not tell the whole story as to the profit. Cows that are milked produce larger yields than when suckling a calf. For instance, the college herd has averaged 6,273.6 pounds of milk per cow during the year 1902, The amount of skim milk • consumed by the skim milk calf repre- sents 1,978 pounds of whole milk. Sub- tract this from the average product of the average cow in the college herd, and we have 4,295.6 pounds to be cred- ited to raising calves on skim milk. According to the average test of the herd, this milk would contain 175.26 pounds of butter fat, which, at 21.08 cents per pound, would amount to $36.95. This 4,295.6 pounds of extra whole milk produced by the cow that is milked would yield 3,S66.1 pounds of Skim milk, which, at 15 cents per 100, would be worth $5.80, or a total of $42.75 additional income per cow. Add to this the $17.01, the income from the butter fat secured from the milk fur- nishing the skim milk for the calf, and we have a total of $59.76. Deduct from this the cost of raising a calf, $7.43, and we have left $52.33 to pay for the expenses of mincing and the hauling of 6,273.6 pounds of milk to the cream- ery. According to statements received from successful. Kansas dairymen, it takes thirteen minutes to milk a cow. Assuming that an average cow will milk 200 clays, we have a total of six- ty,flve hours to be charged to each cow, At 121,4 cents per hour this costs $8.12. It will probably cost 12% cents per 100 pounds to haul the milk, mak- ing an expense of $7.84 per cow, mak- ing the total expense for milking and hauling $15.96. Subtract this from $62.33, and we have left $36.37 per head to pay interest on the money in- vested in a common cow, besides pay- ing for the labor of the men and boys on the farm. The, figures just given represent av- erages. No enterprising dairyman will be satisfied with averages. The expe- rience in raising calves outlined above indicates clearly that unless the cow gives considerably more milk than is needed for the calf it will not pay to milk her. Only two weeks more until the opening the Western Fair the pioneer of all the big agricultural exhibitions, ' Sept. 8th to leth. This fair has annually for 38 years afforded instruction and pleasure for thousands of people in western On- tario, and this year will be no excep- tion to the rule. Many exhibits of an instructive na- ture are being added this year for the first time. Practical demonstrations in new methods of butter and cheese making will he given twice daily in the splendid new dairy hall, which is worth many times over the cost of reaching the fair to every farmer' 1Lnd dairyman. The amusements are entirely new, Among thein will be three concerts daily by the Ninety-first Highland Regiiuettt Band, a great musical treat; leaping the gap in mid -aid int tt steam ttutotnobiio by Mons, I3retonne, a dal.- inng act, and clever and perilous high wire performances by PCI Rarely, the "American Blouditn," and greatest aerial artist the world has ever seep. There will be many other "features, too, includingrand fireworks, repre- sentation of Battle of Copenhagen by Prof. Hand, A pleasant and enjoyable outing is guaranteed everyone who visits the Western Fair this year, Money In Sheep. It seems strange that while the sup- ply of cattle and hogs is on the in- crease in this country the number of sheep is decreasing, says Shepherd's Criterion. This seems more strange when one stops to consider how pro- lific sheep aro and how quickly the supply might be doubled if stockmen would turn their attention to it. It is stranger still when figures show that sheep are the most profitable animals the farmer can raise. Year in and year out there Is positively more money in sheep than anything else the farmer can produce. Mr. Farmer, if you don't raise sheep you are overlooking an op- portunity. Condition Powder For Fowls. The following formula is recon- - mended by one of the leading authori- ties on the subject: Powdered mustard seed, 10 ounces; powdered fenugreek, 8 ounces; powdered sulphate of soda, 2 ounces; capsicum, 1 ounce; table salt. 1 ounce; powdered carbonate of iron, 1 ounce; ginger, 1 ounce; black antimony, powdered, 1 ounce; fine ground bone, 1 ounce; cornmeal, 10 ounces. Reduce to a fine powder and thoroughly mix. Mix a tablespoonful with each quart of mash food. Give two or three times a week,—Reliable Poultry Journal. Wool and Mutton. Good wool as well as good mutton depends largely upon the quality of the food. Succulent food makes the best wool, the cleanest, brightest, soft- est and strongest, As a rule, the wool of young sheep is stronger and has more elasticity than that of aged once, which, for want of youth, has less strength and fibrous body, --American Sheep Breeder, Breeding Swine. It is a good rifle to hate young sows with a nature boar, one that has done service before, and to use young boars on sows that have had at least one lit- ter of pigs. In this way you will avoid the results of immature breeding, which are sometimes bad if both sow and boar ark ,very, .,yduag, „ Fence Out Leaf Eating Bugs. A very effective way to protect cu- cumbers, melons, tomatoes, etc, from the ravages of leaf eating bugs is to have a cone-shaped cover made of wire netting or fly screen, as shown in the sketch. Cut a circular piece 20 inches in diameter. From one side 2a• SCREEN PLANT PROTECTOR. make a straight cut to the centre of the piece, then bend the piece into a cone, by lapping the two cut edges and fasten with a piece of wire, or heavy twine. The cut sides must overlap each other half way mound, in order that the arrangement may be cone-shaped. It these covers are placed over each plant, with the edges pressed slightly into the soil and painted green, they will give a good shade for plants and will protect from bugs, insects, birds and other pests and will last for a number of years.—Orange Judd Far- mer. 6 - Isard's The Leading Store I Isard's Vloney can be saved buying at 7SARD'S during their Great Building Sale.

It was first used in 1827, and it embodies the regulations which were enacted by the famous ordinance of 1869. That ordinance reaches far back into the centuries, for it recog- nizes prescriptions which had been enacted by Charles the Wise in the fourteenth century. In order to keep our forests and to supervise them they have an army of their own, an army of rangers, foresters and keepers, an army of 6,000 men, who are subject to military discipline, so that in time of war all this army is available to the minister of war, but iu ordinary times it is under the control of the minister of agriculture for service in connection with the forests.—M.

Draining farm lands is a matter that is not getting the attention it deserves. In some parts of the country—in fact, most of it—tile drainage is unknown, while in a few localities a great deal is being done and with very satisfac- tory results. Where it is possible it will pay to tile drain. An experienced man figures the worth at fully the value of the land, thus doubling its worth, This is a subject that a little study of would give some surprising facts to those not familiar with it.— Cor. Farm Progress. Feeding the Dairy Cow. The best dairy authorities aro divid- ed on the question as to how many Hisses a day a cow should be fed, says Hoard's Dairyman. Some prefer feed- ing but twice a day, while others feed three and some more often. We feel that twice a day is quite sufficient, although we can see no serious ob- jections to feeding fodder at noon. It is held by those that feed twice a day that a cow has more time for renasti- eating her feed, therefore it is the bet- ter system. Rheumatism In Pigs. This is a very common disease among young, growing pigs, says American Agriculturist.
