In fact there are signs that spring really has come. On Monday, Mr. Jack Stewart of the wes* back line â- was in the Advance office, and told us of fifiding a caterpillar which was crawling on a stone at the side of the road. He took it home and it is now living in a window of his house. In fact mahy believe that with the hard weather we have ex- periencd during the past couple of months that spring will come earlier than ever this year. THE COW CAME BACK The Mildmay Gazette says: A very amusing story is told concerning a Carrick farmer who started out to deal an aged cow that had given fair service during a long period of years and was now becoming hard to milk that it was almost necessary to use a gasoline tractor to extract any lac- teal fluid from her. This farmer who for coBvenience sake, we shall call No. 1, set out the other day to do a little trading. Calling on a neigh- bor, Farmer No. 2, he managed to deal off the bovine on an aged horse, and returned home well satisfied. Farmr No. 2 also, a good hand at dealing, passed the old cow on to Farmer No. 3, who knew how to re- juvenate old cows, and make them look young again. He took the anti- quated bovine, cut off her horns, and was soon ready to meet all comers who might be looking for a chance to improve their stock. It happened that Farmer No. 1 had two more old cews that he wanted to get rid of, and meeting No. 3 the other day he stumped him for a deal. Both being anxious to make an advantageous dicker. Farmer No. 1 traded his two cows for one from Farmer No. 3, getting a little "boot" on the deal. Returning home in triumph with his youthful looking cow, he lost no time in trying her milking qualities. He found it pretty tough going, in fact, just as tough as the old cow he used to own. Then he began to entertain suspicions, and a close investigation revealed the melancholy fact that he had traded back the old stager that he had fondly hoped to have seen the last of a couple of weeks previous.

Miss Agnes Mcphail, Progresive M. | P. for South Grey, displayed the economy of words for which she is , noted. Her comment was the one word: "Bunk." « , Miss Macphail did not take much ' stock in the rumors of a co-operat- ion or coalition government. Her ' attitude was that of a member of a ' cabinet. She was still a watchful critic. With her, vigilance was the price of safety against political back sliding.
