I'lay ranged up and down the field at break-neck speed with both teams missing great chances chances to score. Finally near the half .way mark of the-first half, Hampton got the first goal of the game and Clarke were put on the spot in having having to score two goals to win the game. After this the team put on - The real power, the lines were switched switched around somewhat. Stobert was brought up to the forward line and Macdonald was put on full back. The first half ended with Hampton leading leading 1--0. The second half even produced better better soccer than the first and it was apparent that Clarke was going to go after those two needed goals. About half way through the period Stobert,got the hall out of a pile up of players and made no mistake in driving it through the Hampton goal. It was a brilliant goal and •.veil deserved by the Clarke boys.

Hp to two cents more pea - pound may be paid for lambs of desirable weights than' for lambs weighing over _ 110 pounds. Unfinished and, cull lambs Will be paid for on tbe,basis of their relative quality. As any 'abnormal marketing affects prices, all lambs should be docked, and all buck lambs castrated when 10 days to two weeks old as a sure means of eliminating the buck lamb from the market. The advantages of marketing ewe and wether lambs are many, the chief of Which may be tabulated tabulated under four head's.
