Phantom cats and lean dogs flitting across one's path in the midst of de- solation and destruction. At night it is eerie and gets on one's nerves to an extent. The streets echo hollowly as one rides through it. It'is as a city of the dead and the spirits seem to haunt it. I know it is not a nice place to be in either, because I wus shelled there, and all I wanted was to get away into the open, where only the big guns were shooting at us. Shrapnel mixed with bricks ani mortar is not nice, The Boches put two thousand shells, big and small into it ong day, and only got twenty.saven casualties, 8) you see he still wastes his ammu- nition, After twenty-six days there we had five weeks rest and needed it too. Then 'I went td a place called Sanc- tuary Wood. All was nice and peace- ful for about séven weeks. Then we blew a mine to stir up the Boches. 1 saw it go.

The ball opened at about three a.m., by a half hour bombard- ment, but I cannot describe it so you could see it. We took the German trenches we were told to take, but could not hold them against bombs, machine guns and a:iillery. For se- von #olid hours, which seemed us many days, we took it, and lost over half our men and about three quar- ters of our officers, My aid'post was 'right in the' forefront for the first park that is until we 'were. driven back.

G. PUBLOW ENDO PRO- POSED LEGISLATION, To Govern the Buying of Milk By Cheese Factories -- Proposed To Have Factories Pay By Test. . The proposed legislation of Hon. James Duff in the Ontario Legisla- ture, to work & reform in the method of buying milk from farmérs by cheese factories, is warmly endorsed by G. G. Publow, of Kingston, chief dairy instructor for Eastern Ontario. The legislation is to be introduced at the present session of the Legisla- ture, and there is every indication that it will be put through . At present factories buy at a speci- fied rate per hundred pounds, known as the ,pooling system. This has proven unsatisfactory, sinee the pro- portion of fat and other values vary in different milks The result has been that the farmer producing extra good milk has got no more for it than the man whose cows give milk poor in quality. The proposed legislation will pro- hibit buying on the pooling system, requiring cheese factories to purchase acocrding to -fat, casein, and other values in the milk marketéd. "This is something we have been working on for twenty yedrs," said Mr. Publow, when asked for an opin- fon by a representative.of the Whig. "I regard it as the proper thing, and think that it should hdve been done long ago. We have been working along educational lines, and the pres- ent appeared like a good time to get some legislation." ; Frank Herns, chief dairy instructé for Western Ontario, is also strongly in favor of the new legislation, and with Mr. Publow has been in eonsul- tation on several occasions with Hon. Mr, Duff, in regard to the matter, Both Mr. Publow and Mr. Herns came to the conclusion that it was time that payment was made for qual- y. Prof. L. A. Zufelt, superintendent of the Kingston Dairy School, is also in favor of the new legislation, and to the Whig he stated that he was pleased to know that such a scheme had been proposed, and expressed the wish that it would be adopted by the Legislature, The fuestion was the subject of a very likely debate at the convention of the Eastern Ontario Dairymen's Association, held in Kingston four years ago.
