Walkerton Care and Abuse of Farm Machinery Recent investigations by the Consrrva tion Commission several some very inter- eatii.H f^s ;-e(5%rdinp the effect of care,<>i neglect, as the case may be, u[x>n the life of machinery on the farm.

In Saskatchewan, out i.f !>4 t .liners visited by the Coinfiiitiiion's represent* tive, 7tt leave all : their implements ml of doors. On 7^> of tlie farm*, there were no implement sheds ol any descrip- tion.

While swiping apples in Garner's or- chard in the wr.st ward here one night ,sl week, a prominent mule member of one of our church choirs, lost a love lett- er from In girl in Nova Scotia, which was found by the owner of thu orchard the following morning under the shade of his best apple tree. While a mushy love letter is great evidence in .-t breaeh-of- pro.nise suit, yet it apparently has also va'ue when founl in an orchard on which a night raid has bean nride. V\ hiie coming over the railway truck into Walkerton on Monday morning Uet, a hor-ie driven by Father Gehl of For- in. > i|i . .k fright at an approaching train and in an effort to stop the beast from lowering the world's record down the road, the line broke, and the horse pilot ed into the ditch, upset the buggy, dump ing the reverend gentleman onto the Up of mother earth, where he landed little the wor.se fur the ceremony, and with no greater injury to his person than if he had fallen onto a bed of down. Tu horne continued its journey into the towi and was caught by Mr. Jack McKinuon in the vicinity of the biscuit works. Harold Godfrey and Leo Herrintrei 1 two Mildmay youths, were each finec f 1 .1 'i.i and cost*, or a total assessment ol 95.00 a piece, by Magistrate Tnlton in Walkciton last week for giving cigarette stubs to the 4 -year-old son of Petor Sane of Mildmay. The father claims that the accused pair pushed the cigarette stubs in his child's mouth and that the boy got sick and was unable to eat for a few days. The .story, however, told by the defon dants was .different. They stated that the Sauer kid begged the butts of thuir cigarettei from them and that they gave theiii to Inui. As (his, itself, wan au in fraction of the law by supplying minors with tobacco, the Walkerton oaili he!c the K ' ;-,.,l liable and assewed them ai above.

It was not until the guard liad regained consciousm-i" about two liours Inter that the alarm was given and pursuit of the fugitives took place.

Minister of Agriculture a distribution of supetior sorts of grain and potatoes will I.e made during the corning winter and aprin? to Canadian farmers. The samples fir general distribution will consist of spring wheat (about 5 Ibs.}, white oats (about 4 Ibs.), barley (about Ibs.). and field peas (about 5 Hi*. ). These will be sent out from Ottawa. A distribution of/potatoes (in U Ib. samples) will be carried on from several of the experimental farms, the Central Farm at Ottawa supplying only the provinces of Ontario and Quebec. All samples will bu sent free by mail. Applicants must give particulars in re- gard to the soil on their farms, and some account of their xrrieu<;o with uch kinds of grain (or potatoes) as they have grown, so that a promising sort for their conditions may bo selected. Each application must be separate and must be signed by the applicant. Only OUR sample of grain and one of potatoes can be sent to each farm. If both samp- les are asked for in the same letter only OUR will bo sent. Applications on auy kind of printed form cannot be accepted. As the supply of seed is limited, farm- ers are advised to apply early; but the a pphuatio!in will not necessarily be. filled in the exact order in which they are re. ceircd. Preference will always be given to the most thoughtful and explicit re- quests. Applications received after the end of January will probably be tco late. All applications for grain (nd applica- tions from the provir.oes of Ontario and Quebec for potatoes) should be addressed to the Dominion Cerealist, Central Ex- perimental Farm, Ottawa. Such applica- tions require no postage. If otherwise i.li---- . I deUy and disappointment may occur. Application*, for potatoes from farmers in any other provinca should be address- ed (postage prepaid) to the Superintend- ent of the nearest Branch Experimental Faun in that province. .1. H.

The clock ar.d some o'hei article! he had thrown through the windows). And in the midst of the * racked home Weir ws enjoying. a siesta on the floor. A partly filled whincey bottle explained to some extent the havoc. ftlcCurroll trussed Weir up and then went ouUidu to investigate Hi ir he found that still morn .l.un ,.'. had been done. The railing of the vern_ d t was wrecked and at the barn a thre. shing engine and two buggiui had been badly smashed. A constable took charge of Weir, who was given summary troatmont a couple of ditys later by I Ill- police magistrate at Aurora McCarroll knew Weir Well aiul had a long converaat- ii> with him a couple of days previously. There had been no quarrel between them and there was no explanation for Weir'n conduct, except that, the whiskey had made hint run amurk. The magistrate imposed a fine of $200 aud two years in the penitentiary, and if the fine WAS not paid, four years in thu pen. Weir had no money, so he i< now prcticinz the look stitp in Kingston's penal inititution After-Dinner Story-Teller Mr. fortune, clerk of Nerumnby Township, was severely injured, having h<lf a dozen ribs broken, by running : ntO a telegraph port with his auto.
