Mr. AithurPask of Croydaa, England, was a s!uest of Mr. M. K. Richardson durin;; the past week. Mr. Pask bad been out west and called here on his way home. The waruith and moisture of the past week have given vegetation a wonderful impetus. Everything appears to bo growing at a rate that will soon make up for lo4t time. F. Nixon, who has been treasurer of Proton Agricultural Society for 25 years, resigned his position recently. He was reappointed as treasurer only at a salary of $5, and A. E. Colgan is the new secre- tary at $45. Mr. Will and Miw Annie Wilson of Toronto spent a few days of the' past week with their mother, Mrs. Thomiison Wilson.

The cam- paign opeos on May 30. Flesherton figured largely in the cele- bration at|Markdale, carrying off two sec- onds. W. W. Trimble's Topsy and D. Mclavish's Dixie were the prize-winners. At Feversham three firsts and three sec- •nds were annexed by Flesherton sports. We believe that Flesherton people are just as loyal to the flag as other peoples of the Dominion, but they did not show it on Friday last. There was no public symbol of mourning and the ^stores were not closed. A few private flags were flying at half mast. On Wednesday morning while working at the Rockvale mills Stanley Smith of Kimberley was struck on the head by a board which was thrown from the top of a lumber pile. It was a bard knock and made a cut requiring five stitches to close. Ue wUl be off work for a week or so. The Chatsworth News has been again enlarged to a 6-column quarto â€" the same size it was iu the palmy days of the late George BIythe of respected memory. We •re pleased to see this evidence of pros- perity on the part of Bro. Hopkins, The News was never newsier than it is to-day. At the regular meeting of Prince Arthur Lodge, A. F. & A. M., on Friday even- ing last, the annual election of officers took place and resulted ns follows : W. M., C. Munshaw ; S. W., J. P, OtteweU; Jun. Warden, Geo. Watson ; Sec, Thos. Clayton ; Treas.. Jos. Blackburn ; Chap., M. K. Richardson ; Tyler, Wm. Burnett. A youn^ gentleman in town owns a black horse with a white face. This young Abelard has a habit when going out driving with hia Heloise to blacken the white spot on the horse's head with a boot brush and blackening, so as to con- iuse the public. Now all the world loves a lover, and the young gentleman should *>ot be ashamed of his company. Per- iiaps, however, it was only out of con- •ideratiun for the horse ! After the present year all dogs will be obliged to pay a tax. An act passed by the Provincial Legislatuie takes away from municipal councils in towns, vil- lages and townships the authoiity to levy dog taxes and the fee for dog licenses is fixed by the same statute as follows : Male dogs, first fl, second $2 ; female dogs Brst $2, second $5. The statute also fixes tbe method of colleotlun. There is ' to be no more dog tags, instead the as- aessor enters dogs on the roll and th; taxea are collected by the tax collector.

Misfortune seems to follow Messrs. Battels k Mournaban, in their horse ven- tures. Last January they lost Linton Lad, valued at |200U aud on which there was no insurance. Three weeks ago their new horie. Sir George McGill, arrived here, and was much admired. On Wed- nesday about 5 o'clock, just after he ar- rived home, it whs seen that he was in trouble aud a veterinary summoned. But despite all that could be done the fine beast died next morning. Acute indi- gestion is given as the cause of his death. This beasi, also represented an invest- ment of about S2000, but this time they had an insurance of SIOOO. However, the loss is heavy and severe. â€" Grand Valley Star. Mr. Dean, a .hardware traveller, says the Mildmay Gazette, called at Liesu- nier's hardware on Tuesday with a patent invention that should catch the dairy- man's fancy. It is a device for making two [lounds of butter out of one. It is done this way : Take one pound of but- ter, and add to it a pound of milk ai.d two tea.spjonstul of salt, put all into the apparatus and turn the crank. In a few minutes it comes out like newly churned butter, and only a eonnoiseur could de- tect any difference in the taste from the original pound. The operation was wit- nessed by a large number of interestiid persons and :ill pronounceil it a success. On Monday morning early an empty whi.sliey flask might be seen sitting ou a tombstone at the marble works on Main .street. A very suggestive place for the flask it wa«, too â€" a first rate advertise- ment of the virtues of the former con- tents. â€" Mt. Forest Confederate. The Ute Mrs. John Clinton.

ALFALFAâ€" Now is the time to s>>w alfalfa. Many have the impres.Hiun that it should be sown early like other clover. This is not correct. Alfalfii or (lucerine) clover requires warm weather to germin- ate. It can be sown as late m the end of May and still yield a eood crop the same season. Good seed corn is not plentitul this year. A very large percentage of last season's crop biM turned out unfit for seed purposes. Our corn has been tested by the government tester at Ottawa. We are receiving aud will have in stock this week the following seed corn :Coinptous Early, North Dakota, Imperial Leaning and Giant Eu.silage. In ROOT SEED Jumbo tugar beet is a heavy yielder, easy to pull, and for a clean root crop ami good ke9piug root you can't beat it. It sells at 25 cents per pound. Giant sugar mangle, the Kind used by dairymen in large quantities. Our seed produces a big crop every time, and only 25 cents per pound. Giani; yellow intermediate and yellow Leviathan mangles are as popular this season as ever. Our supply of this seed is limited as it is very scarce thin season. First come, first served. Only 25 cents per pound. Derby Sweede turnip, no other Sweede turnip resists the attack of the louse in the summer like this. The veteran reliable seedsman. Win. Rennie, Esq., of Toronts says : we have grown every known variety and Derby is in out estimatioi> the best Sweede turnip for all purposes, and only 25 cents per pound. Don't hesitate buying it, good progressive farmers buy it. We also carry a well assorted slock of field, garden and root seeds, all purchased from the bett and most reliable.seedsnien. Now is the time for Japanese millet, grows 6 feet, yields 10 tons green fodder per sere. When cured makes an excellent quality hay and is much relished as green fodder.
