correct pronunciation to the names of towns in the war zone in France and insists upon others doing the same.No matter whether the Queen is listening to a General at the head of an army corps or to a wounded Tommy in the hospital, she interpolates her corrections automatically when the name of a town is pronounced incorrectly.The following story was told by a British staff officer, who said it was related by the Duke of Connaught in the officers\u2019 mess at Al- dershot.The Queen spends much time visiting the wounded men in the hospitals and likes to hear their experiences.There was a sergeant in one of the guard regiments who was severely wounded near Ypres and had received the Victoria Cross for his bravery.The Queen heard about him and on her next visit to the hospital she sat by his bedside and asked him to tell all the details.\u201cWell, your Majesty,\u201d he began, \u201cit was just like this, We were at Wipers\u201d\u2014 \u201cEep\u2019,\u201d interrupted the Queen\u2014 \u201cand got orders to march out and check the advance of the enemy.After we left Wipers\u2014\" \u201cEep,\u201d said the Queen again, and every time he mentioned the name of the old Flemish city she corrected him without it having any effect on the Sergeant, who called it \u201cWipers\u201d every time.Next day the Duke of Connaught said he had to call at the hospital, and asked the Sergeant what he thought of Queen Mary after his long talk with her.\u201cThe Queen is a noble woman, Sir,\u201d he replied, \u201cbut what a pity she hie- coughs so.\u201d f Cale | NOTICE-MILITARY SERVICE

Week 0 Lhe reproach, that the lurmers of Quebec are nol progressive, Lhe not justined by tacts, has suificient Culor ui truth to De accepled by those who do mot know better.Aihere ure sec- tons where little change can be noted, but even in thei there has been 8 not- uble advance on the cunaitions oc fit Ly years ago.l'rogress has been unequal wome districts have lorgeu ahead and will compare with thie best In any province ol the Dominion, while others bave lagged behind.Of all the districts not one shows the same improvement as that of the Chateauguay valley, with the country tributary to it.In the wide belt of country watered by the Chateauguay, English river, the St.Louis and Trout river, the spirit of improvement mas been abroad.Any stranger who visits Quebec, predisposed to regard It a backward province, will have his eyes opened if he examines the country between the elms at St.Philomene and the hop poles at she Us.boundary line.He finds a country as advancea as that he comes from.It would furnish matter for an interesting essay to note the beginnings of this improvement, and trace its development, giving the names of farmers who were first to adopt improved methods, or who led in the importation of stock.It is sufficient for the present purpose to dwell on the stimulus given by tae Ormstown Live Stock Association When Dr.Me- Eachran bought a farm on the Chat- enauguay he became more fully aware than he had been of the resources of the farmers he lived among and of the great possibilities within their reach.They had specialized in the milch cow and the heavy draft horse and had attained a degree of excellence from which they were not reaping the full benefit.Let the rest of Canada know what you have to sell and they will come to buy.What you need is advertizing in a practical shape.and so the Doctor started the project of raising a large building and holding a yearly exhibit.It waa a big scheme for farm- ors who did not on an average, own over a hundred acres but they saw the profit that would come to them by establishing a Dominion reputation.Sufficient shares were taken to justify buying 8 farm adjoining the village of Ormetown, for which $9000 wes paid, and erecting a large steel building.The first show was a success, for it attracted buyers from the United States as well as the Northwest.When the company was in a fair way of doing well, misfortune came.A hurricane struck the building and the posts on which it rested gave way, with the result that the shapely structure became a tangled mass of twisted rods and broken metal.What were those interested going to do?Would they wind up, selling the old metal and the land?That was not their spirit.They would subscribe more stock and rebuild, and they did.A larger and stronger arena arose and the Orm- stown exhibition went on and has been held each spring with increasing success, so that it has become a gathering place of high reputation among stock- men and given the province of Quebec « standing in their opinion it had not before.All this has heen accomplished by the farmers themselves, for they received little outside encouragement, more especially from a source they had a right to look for substantial support.In doing good to themselves, they had stimulated emulation among breeders, to excel, a great impetus had been given to the improvement of stock, and you cannot improve livestock without raising the standard of farming in general.A great benefit had been conferred on the province, and the improvement was of a nature that would filter in time to its remotest parts, for men came from as far as Rimouski and the Saguenay to buy horse colts and bulls.Given a section of country that devotes itself to improve livestock, it becomes a benefit to the country at large.While thus doing invaluable work, the Ormstown farm- ors have received scant recognition from the Quebec government.Its in- elination has been to class the Orm- stown exhibition as a mere local show, and put it off with the grant of a county show, instead of recognizing it is doing a peculiar work by making a specialty of improving the breed of horses, cattle, sheep and pigs.It cat- ors to nothing else.It does not spend money on attractions that draw the crowd, it has no midway, it simply presents to visitors the best animals the district produces.The company is going behind.Had it not met disaster in the wrecking of its first building it would be in different standing.As it ls, the farmers who compose the company have invested in paid up stock $22,000 and are paying interest on loans besides.There is no danger of collapse.The Ormstown farmers are not built that way.They have founded an exhibition of which they are proud and will persevere but they do think Bir Lomer Gouin should recognize the value of the work they are doing.They do not depreciate other exhibitions, they bave no need, for they are not in the same class.The Ormstown show, #0 far as regards this province is the only one that devotes itself solely to livestock and, as such, it makes its claim for distinctive recognition.Mr.MeGerrigle, the capable secretary treasurer, states that if the company were assured of a regular yearly grant of $3000 it would be restored to a sound footing and go on actively with its work.le it worth while for the Quebec government to give that grant?Is it not a benefit to the province to have it proclaimed by the press from the Atlantic to the Pacific that at the Toronto exhibition Quebec Clydesdales came first and that Quebec Ayrshires swept the honors?Those Clydes and Ayrshires came from the county of Chateauguay and were bred by members of the Ormstown Live-stock Association.Is it not, as a mere matter of profit, worth $5000 a year to have Quebec so distinguished?The claim of the association to that grant is based on these three pleas\u2014 1 That it maintains the only live stock exhibition in Quebec; 2 That this has been done by some 300 farmers, who have joined together and paid in $22,000.That farmers should so co-operate and pay so large a sum is an instance without parallel and, in itself, establishes a claim to government recognition; 3 That its exhibitions have done more than anything else to give Quebec province a standing in the agricultural world.Where else in the Dominion, is there another instance of 300 farmers combining to raise $22,000 to promote the live-stock industry?Surely, the request of these farmers deserves exceptional consideration at the hands of the Quebec ministers and an exceptional grant.\u2014\u2014 The rapid spread of Spanish Influenza is as startling as the mortality accompanying it.Cases are counted by tens of thousands.The mayor of Boston estimated the afflicted at 200,000 and appealed to Toronto for nurses.Deaths in that State have been averaging 200 a day.The disease itself, except where the patient is weak, does not kill, but it induces pneumonia, which does.The only redeeming feature about the trouble is, that, where there is no complication, it runs its course in from 2 to 4 days.\u2014_\u2014\u2014 Monday morning milk rose in the city to 13 cents a quart, pints remaining at 7c.An appeal is to be taken to Ottawa on the score that a combine exists to raise prices.That it will be sustained by the law officers is doubted.Whatever may be the merit of the case, the citizens of Montreal have to face this fact, that milk is dearer in the States than the price asked for.It is being bought along the frontier for $3.55 the 100 Mb, This disparity in prices may result in much of the milk now going to Montreal, crossing the border.The entire dairy trade isin a state of disorganization.The Government, in order to ensure a supply of butter for the army in France, has commandeered all the creameries \u2018can make between the 1st October and the 9th November at 46V;¢ for finest, 46 for fine and 45 for No.3.This leaves the general public without their customary supply of winter butter and will lead to general dissatisfaction.Cheese has been fixed at 25c.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 The first decisive proof that peace is near was given on Friday, when Bulgaria surrendered.The Allies had so surrounded its armies that further resistance was out of the question.For nigh three weeks they had been suffering heavy losses and to prolong the struggle meant only more killed and wounded.The Bulgarian government asked for an armistice.It was decisively refused, the answer being that only unconditional surrender would halt the advance of the Allied troops.If they would lay down their arms and disband, and convey to the Allies their railways and the navigation of the Danube, the slaughter would cease, It shows how low the Bulgarians were that they agreed to these humiliating terms.That, however, does not end the strife in Bulgaria.Austria holds a large slice of the country which is strongly garrisoned.Unless Austria collapses there will be e renewal of the fighting.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 General Allenby is completing the conquest of Palestine by capturing Damascus.He has taken nearly 100,000 prisoners with al] their equipment.The news of the capture of Palestine made a sensation at Constan- tineple, inducing demoonstrations against the government and the Germans.There is a report that Turkey sought to make peace and was repelled by being told nothing less than an unconditional surrender would be entertained.\u2014\u2014 It has ben a week of bloodshed in France.The Germans have got their backs against the wall and are resisting further advances by the Allies with desperation, Along 250 miles of their front there is constant fighting.On Friday morning the Britiwh, aided by the Belgian army, made a new thrust at \u201che extreme NW end o* the German line.It was successful in gaining over 5 miles of ground and capturing 5000 prisoners.The Belgians were elated at recovering so much of their country and fighting goes on to win more, the enemy resisting with all the force he can command.The stiffest struggle is that going on where the British are trying to get possession of Cambrai and the French and Americans of St.Quentin.Those who have relatives at the front may prepare for sad announcements, for the British, and especially the Canadians, have suffered severely.Late reports indicate that the capture of both places may be looked for.With them in the hands of the Allies, the Germans will have to make a long retreat, surrendering ed THE HUNTINGDUIN GLEANER.a large part of northern France.Along the southern portions of the German front the Americans and the French are making successful attacks.The weather is against the Allies, being cold and rainy.ORMSTOWN Mr.B.M.Taylor, of Toronto, representing the Christian Men's Federation occupied St.Paul's Church pulpit at the morning service, on Sunday and the Methodist pulpit in the evening, soliciting subscritions for relief work among the starving people of Europe, caused by the present war.The collection in St.Paul's was $435 and in the Methodist $137.Rev.D.N.Co- burn occupied the Methodist church pulpit, in the morning, in the absence of Rev.A.W.Williamson.Ste.MARTINE Mrs Edouard McGowan had a sale on Monday and is leaving for Montreal She sold her property to her son, Ed mour, registrar of the county, who has bought also the store from the estate.On Friday the scholar exposition took place on the Fair grounds.In spite of the rain, which lasted all day, the display of products was surprising.Splendid pigs and calves were brought for the Bankers\u2019 competition.Young pigs .:lh twstsoa ho9gm ond mn Ed.Morand won the first prize on pigs and Wilfrid Parent's son for best heifer calf.Entries in potatoes were numerous and fine, and so were turnips.\u2014 .HEMMINGFORD An offer having been received from Mannagh Brothers of 8300 for the Havelock show-ground, the directors are uncertain as to what should be done.The late show has left a deficit of $180, and they would like to know from the members whether to make up that amount by cutting the prizes 20 per cent.or selling the ground.Man- nagh brothers, in their offer, reserve to the society the use of the grounds and buildings so long as it holds a show, a generous offer.FRANKLIN CENTRE The continuous wet weather is giving the farmers a good deal of trouble to get their work done.Along with the scarcity of help, work is not ahead as it should be for the time of year.The draftees are given another month to help out with the work.It is a good thing, for all the help will be needed as soon as we have good weather.The play, entitled The Country Doctor, was given in the hall Friday night to a full house by friends from Burke, N.Y.Sixty two dollars was taken in at the door, one half going to the Episcopal Church, and the balance to those who gave the entertainment.At the close there was a quilt donated by two ladies, which was auctioned off, proceeds to go to the Red Cross.It was sold for five dollars, D FORT COVINGTON On the arrival of the late train on the evening of the 25th Sept., Herman Collette, brakeman, son of Edward Collette, Dundee, started to walk across the railroad bridge on his way home, and on search being made for him the next morning his body was found underneath the bridge in about three feet of water.It is supposed that he slipped ana fell between the tf end of the ties and the bridge railing.He was 28 years of age.\u2014 ES T\u2014 _\u2014 \u2014The meeting called to organize for floating the new

attendance.The state of the roads not stoned kept back a number of entries.On those roads the mud was deep.Tho the exhibits of horses and cattle were not equal to former years, yet there was a respectable representation.This show, famous in the old time, for heavy draft horses, has fallen away.The registered Clydesdale class had only 2 entries.The competition in Ayrshires and Holsteins was confined to a few breeders.Of sheep and swine there was an excellent display.Had it not been for Mrs.Roberts\u2019 special there would have been no bread and no butter.There was no cheese.Roots were good and 80 were the apples.Of fancy work there was a pretty display.The crowd enjoyed the outing and everything passed off quietly, the Huntingdon band giving eclat to the occasion.ST.LOUIS FAIR

but the magistrate held that they had been assault ed in the discharge of their duty, and fixed voluntary statement for Saturday next.Two Men Shot The second case was then heard, when evidence was given that the police went early the following morning, a party of half a dozen, to make the arrest of the defaulter.According to Thos.A.Gardineny Dominion policeman at Huntingdon, they arrived at half-past four in the morning in the dark, and were greeted by flashlights, and voices which invited them, with certain epithets, to \u201ccome on.\u201d When near the house, they were set upon by Robidoux and others with pitchforks, They retreated, and as they were near a bush they heard someone call out to shoot at them.Aime Rapin, one of the police, was stabbed with a pitchfork, and just after someone shouted to shoot at them from the bush.Thereupon all the police used their revolvers and two men, George and Jim Robi.LN Mr.Plante doux, fell.George Robidoux, when he first saw them, had said: \u201cYou thought we would not be ready; but we are.\u201d Alex.S.Cummings, another Dominion policeman, said the shots were fired only after Rapin was wounded with the forks.Ultimately Charles Robi- doux was taken in the house, and he and the wounded men were brought to Montreal.Rapin was reported to be in barracks suffering from Spanish influenza.: Mr.Crankshaw argued that in this, as in the previous case, the police had not sufficiently shown their identity and the object of their visit and that they had provoked the assault.Judge Cusson pointed out that the policeman was only slightly hurt, while the two men against whom they were proceeding, were seriously injured, and he failed to see that the right to prosecute for assault was now open.He accordingly dismissed the case.\u201cCARDIFF GIANT\u201d PURE FAKE Had Its Origin In Hoax Which is Un.derstopd -to.Have Had Its i.nception at Chicago.Andrew D.White gives some of the particulars of the \u201cCardiff Giant\u201d tn a book entitled \u201cThe True Story of a Remarkable Deception.\u201d The Cardiff giant was the huge stone image of a man which Farmer Newell of Cardiff, N.X,, claimed to have unearthed while digging a well in the autumn of 1869, After It had been sold to a joint-stock company formed to exploit the wonder for show purposes, Barnum tried to buy it for his own museum, but his offer was declined.The showman then bad an imitation made, with the result that two Cardiff giants were on exhl- bition at the same time, the duplicate being shown to the public as \u2018the only and original.\u201d Doctor White attributes the exposure of the fake to Professor Marsh of Yale; in another account it was Dr.John V, Boynton of Syracuse, N.Y., who laid bare the fraud.The original Cardiff giant was carved or chiseled out of a gypsum block in a stoneyard in Chicago and was transported thence by rail and wagon to Cardiff.According to Doctor White, scientists as well as clergymen were much impressed with the colossal figure, Dr.James Hall, state geologist, issuing a statement in which he described the giant as \u201cthe most remarkable object brought to light in this country\u201d and as \u201cdeserving the attention of archaeologists.\u201d \"REFUGEES IN RICH ATTIRE English Writer Describes Grotesque Figures He Saw During the Italian Retreat.Amid all the chaos of the Italian re- \"treat one kept on meeting utterly in- * congruous figures, for alongside of others road-worn, shabby and dirty, to ibe clean and wll dressed is to be ! grotesque.5 ;

the education of the public as to the food value of poultry and eggs; national standardization of poultry and egg grades; proper distribution of reports on market quotations and conditions; Government regulation of factors affecting the costs and profits of poultry products;

the Skeptical of Fact Pretty Generally Conceded.Take a good-sized bowl, fill it nearly full of water and place it upon the floor of a room which Is not exposed to shaking or jarring from the street.Sprinkle over the surface of the water, a coating of lycopodium powder.Then upon the surface of thls coating of powder make, with powdered charconl, a straight black line, say, an inch or two in length.Having made this little mark with the charcoal powder on the suriace of the contents of the bowl, lay upon the floor close to the b~w a stick or some other straight object, so that it will be exactly parallel with the mark.If the line happens to be parallel with a crack in the floor or with any stationary object in the room, this will serve as well, Leave the bowl undisturbed for a few hours and then observe the position of the black mark with refereuce to the object with which it was parallel.It will be found to have moved in the direction opposite to the movement of the earth on its axis.The earth In simply revolving has carried the water and everything else in the bowl around with it, but the powder on the surface has been left behind a Uttle.The line will always be found to have moved from east to west, which is perfectly good proof that everything else has moved the other way.In and Out There 1s gome talk among a number of the women folk of Woodruff place of organizing

Inventors Before Fulton Tried to Build One.As to whether John Fulton really did invent the steamboat there has been (and doubtless always will be) much dispute.He certainly made steam navigation practieal, and tuat ought to be glory enough.There is a story, curiously definite in detail, to the effect that in 1543 a steam vessel built by a Spaniurd named Garay was floated and, on June 17 of that year, arrived at Dar- celona from Colibre with a cargo of wheat.It was a \u2018\u2018side-wheeler\u2019\u2019 of 209 tons burden and its engine was driven by \u2018\u2018caldrons of boiling water\u201d at a speed of three miles an hour, or nearby.Unfortunately, the story lacks proof.The earliest extant account of this steamboat dates back only to 1826, quite a while after the problem of steam navigation was successfully solved by Fulton, and it may be what we would call in these days a \u2018pure fake.\u201d But undeniably there were sleam- boats before Fulton.In 1737 one was built by Jonathan Hull\u2014deem- ed, needless to say, a \u2018\u2018crank\u2019 and visionary in his day\u2014that was used in an experimental way for towing sailing ships.An authentie drawing of it has been preserved.It was driven by a wheel at the stern.The origin of the stern-wheel or side-wheel for driving steam vessels is obvious enough.It is simply a water-wheel, or mill-wheel, adapte for the purpose of propulsion.Less than half a century later John Fitch, a watchmaker by trade, put a steam engine into a boat that was provided not with a wheel, but with twelve paddles (operated by the piston) to push it along.Tle craft made a measured mile, under test, at eight miles an hour, off the water-front of Philadelphia.Later on It covered eighty miles in a day.But as the boat was deemed noe better than a freak money was lacking to carry on the experiments and Fitch, it is said, was driven by disaypoint- ment and poverty to suicide.There were several other steamboats that antedated Fulton, whosa first real success (though not his first boat, which was launched on the Seine near Paris) was a side-wheel steamer built in New York in 1804.It differed in no very essential re- gpect from the Clermont of lmmor- tal fame, hich made its initial voyage August 7, 1807, from New York to Albany, at a speed of five miles an hour\u2014against the current of th: river, be it observed.While the boat was tied to the dock at Albany a man came aboard and paid his fare to New York (for the return trip)\u2014one would like tu know just how much It was.Fulton could have hugged him.As it was he took the money with tears in hls eyes, saying that it was the \"first encouragement he had received for all his labors.\u201d The Clermont made trips back and forth between New York and Albany until, though patched and patched again, she was too decrepit to attempt another voyage.\u2014Bene Bache in Philadelphia Public Ledger.Vibration of Chimneys.A soundly-built chimney vibrates, or swings from side to side, as & whole, under sudden and violent shocks of wind, and is in reality safer when it does so than when it stands in.sullen and unmoved resistance.The vibration indicates that the several constituent parts of the structure are firmly compacted into one coherent, continuous, and, as it were, homogeneous mass, which can sway from side to side like a steel rod or spring, without any tendeney to dissolve its continuity and break asunder at some intermediate point.The absence of vibration, on the other hand, means that there is not this integrity of coherence, and that there are, 80 to speak, fissures of substantial continulty in the structure, at which disruptive strain is unavoidably developed.Sudden shocks of wind bursting upon lofty columns of brickwork in such circumstances tend to break them across at the Joints where the interruption of continuity occurs.The movements of vibration are there absorbed, and converted into the less desirable condition of molecular strain.\u2014Family Journal.Pearls From Cocoanuts.The cocoanuts of the Malay Penin- wsula sometimes produce pearls that are highly prized by the natives.The stones are not unlike the pearls of the molluses, and are similar in composition to the oyster pearls, having calelum carbonate and a little organic matter, The molluse pearl 18 said to cote into existence by the ef- torts of the oyster pearl to dispose of Irritating particles that have entered the shell; but the\u2019 cocoanut could have no cause for producing these concretions, which, while they have great slimilarity to the pearl, are not pearls.These concretions form just beneath the steni, and a pure while pearl brings a high price, as it is supposed by the nutives to possess some kind of a charm.Cases have been known where the cocoanut pear! Las been sold as a mollusc product, but such instances are rare.Ponsion to Be Cut Off.A day or so ago Mr, 8.J.Rodger, of Kingston, acting for the Netherlands Government, paid to Karl Kesa- ler, a convict in the Portsmouth Penitentiary, the equivalent of about $300, being his pension from the German army, of which he had been a member for many years.Aecom- panying the pension was the intimation from the Germian authorities that this would probably be the last instalment which Kessler would receive for some tine owing to the fact that money was becoming short th Germany.Kessler was among the Germans interned in Fort Henry early in the war, and he gave considerable trouble to the guards over there, finally assaulting one of them so severely that he was landed behind the bars at Portsmouih for his offence.He has still some time to serve, Art of Weaving.The arts of weaving and rope and net-making are practiced by some of the lower forms of life, notably among caterpillars and spiders.The

of draft evaders, possibly hundreds, have congregated in the woods on the private preserves of several fish and game clybs in the northern part of the province of Quebec, is the information sent in from various quarters to James R.Innes, secretary of the Provincial Fish and Game Association.From the information received Mr.Innes believes that probably more than 100 men have built camps and settled in one distriet, while there may be many more in other parts, as information is constantly coming in from guides that numerous \u201cetrangers\u201d have been met in many parts of the woods.Quite recently a small party of sportsmen, with several guides, went to Camp Bernard to hunt and fish.They ranged over eonsiderable territory and in several places saw traces of men having camped in the vicinity.At Lake Sorcier they came upon a fully-appointed camp, from which the inhabitants had apparently fled at their approach, and here they saw clothing and other articles for ten men.Outside the camp was the carcass of a cow moose, from which a few choice bits had been cut, while the remainder of the carcass was beginning to spoil, the campers having no means of keeping it.Leaving the camp the sportsmen canoed out into the lake and as they rounded a point two rifle shots were fired at them.At another point near Lake Vison the president of one of the fish and game clubs came upon a camp of four men, the latter at the time fishing in the lake.In answer to the president's charge that they were poaching they replied in excellent English, that they were not doing any harm to the game, as they were only taking enough to keep them alive.Within the territory mentioned are the preserves of the Laurentian, Winchester, Commodore, St.Bernard and Mastigouche Fish and Game Clubs, covering in extent from 20 to 60 square miles each with five or six club houses and numerous camps, says Mr.Innes, complaints have come to him of the operations of poachers, who have built camps and are destroying the fish and game, as they cannot consume all they il] before it becomes bad.Every guide who has reported unus- ua numbers of \u201cstrangers\u201d in the woods states that the latter have the appearance of city people, are usually well dressed and are certainly not woodsmen or natives of the district.An instance of this kind came to the personal attention of Mr.Innes recently when he had gone to the vicinity of Barette to investigate the illegal shooting of deer.There he came across a well-dressed woman taking provisions into the woods, and she admitted that her husband and some friends were living in the woods, but that she was getting tired of the job of looking after them.Thus far none of the camps belonging to the clubs mentioned has been molested, but a camp belonging to another club was broken into not long ago and all the provisions there removed.In every camp a large supply of canned goods, pork and beans, salmon, etc., and staple groceries is always kept on hand.Dr.Wallace of Montreal, who has just returned from France says the deepest impression made by his visit to France and the war zone, was the diabolical iniquity of the German in- vagion of France and of the German methods of warfare.After seeing ruined towns, villages and countrysides, he fully concurred with the dictum of a prominent American that for crimes so terrible this criminal nation should be punished.He had visited the hospital area where a Canadian hospital had been bombed and was convinced that, whatever excuses might be offered, the place had been bombed deliberately and knowingly.Montreal, Sept.28\u2014About $30,000 damage was done by a fire which broke out in the cattle barn of the Elmhurst Dairy, Montreal West, yesterday afternoon.The barn, which was considered to be one of the best of its kind in Canada, was totally destroyed and was in ruins within seven or eight minutes after the fire started.About eight or nine head of cattle were lost, and it is also believed that two horses were burned.Mr.Trenholme stated that about 250 tons of hay were also destroyed.The Government records show that during the past fiscal year in Canada the consumption of spirituous liquors was practically stationary, while that of beer declined, but the use of tobacco increased to one of the-highest figures in the record, namely, 3.6 pounds a head.The cigarette continues to gain in favor, those manufactured during the twelve months numbering 2,321,500,000.Province of Quebec Municipality of the Township of Hinchinbrook.TAXES The Collection Roll for

the Editor of The Gazette: Sir\u2014My attention has been drawn to articles in the daily papers on the increase in the price of milk, in which unwarranted blame is laid upon the farmer.In the first place, it is inconsistent to suppose that the farmer can continue to produce milk at present prices when feeds are about impossible to secure at any price, as also is labor.It has been said that the farmer is unpatriotic.We most emphatieally deny this accusation.The dairyman who supplies you with your milk works on an average sixteen hours a day, wife and family included, and, notwithstanding the fact that never were wages so high in the city, nor work so plentiful, the consumer endeavors; to beat the farmer out of a fair prafit.This should not be so.If the consumer should succeed in holding prices down the result will be low production and higher prices than ever in the end.Even if the price of milk should go to fifteen cents per quart this wintér, it is by far the cheapest, as well as the best article of food that can be purchased.\u2018 It has been suggested that an appeal to the Food Controller be made.Recall the result of last year\u2019s appeal.The price recommended by the producer was sustained by the commission, and the farmer was exonerated from all suspicion of intention to pro- PureGrain Only BARLEY MEAL Barley and Oats Moulie Why feed nat hulls?Why infest your
