G. PUBLOW/MR. HEWITT CRTICIH| i ------ | BEFORE THE DAIRYMEN'S MEET- { ING HELD AT KEENE : i Mri Publow Spoke on the Benefits of Improved Breeding - for Greater Production 'of Milk, G. C. Publow of Kingston spoke | at the deirymen's mesting at Keene last . The Peterboro Adverti- ser says that in introducing Mr. Pub- low Chairman Gillespie said, "We can never repay Mr. Publow what we owe him. To his work is due the fine quality of the cheese manufactured in Esstern 3 | Mr Javiaw bas been an . in- structor™in dairying for thirty years, and therefore knows the whole problem. Mr. Publow spoke on the | benefits of improved breeding for | greater production. He sald that the 4 $ | Production of milk per cow should be | ralsed from 3000 Ibs, in a 6 months season to between 6,000 and 7,000 | 1bs., if cows kept up the same pro- duction for the rest of of the season { as they do in June, the yield would | be twice as great. Professor Gris | dale tried this out, said Mr. Publow | and by providing the right kind of | feed he actually did double the pro- | duction. {| Cattle must get an abundance of water. Milk is composed of 87 1-2 | per cent. of waterm@and there is gen- { erally more moisture in the ground in June than in any other months | this is why the cows give more milk {in June. Another great point in | production is to quickly fill a cow up by feeding it better feed and more of ft. 'The longer it takes to fill up your cows the less milk you will get. | Referring to the investigation at | Dundas, Mr. Publow said that a man { Rear there had a herd of cattle giv- | ing from 3000 to 7000 ibs. He in- j creased the production and found | that as the production increased the | cost of production decreased. You must consider the proper feed ri see that the cow has enough of it. | Mr. Publow said that Ontario {could take a few pointers from Que- {bec.. A more careful grading in { Quebec has raised the standard of | the cheese. "'You must find out how | much i costs to produce your milk | 80 'that you oan produce figures to | | show that you are not charging ex- cessive prices and you must also try your eyes.

Corbett, the Chairman, Was Warmly Praised for Work He Casr- riod on During the Year--An Offer to Purchase Property. The civic property committee held its final meeting of the year, on Mon- day afternoon. The chairman, S. S. Corbett, presided, and the other il | members present were: Ald. S. Rob- oi | ortson, Simmons, and Norris. There was. but.a small grist' of business. A letter was received from I Co- hen regarding a couple of lots on WANTED! Raw Furs Gourdier's 78 BROCK STREET, Orchard street, on the water front, which he desired to purchase, with the intention of erecting a ware- house. However, the committee moved that no action be taken in the matter, as it was felt that it would be an ideal spot for an industry, and as the city is endeavorimg to land a few industries, and may possibly ap- point an industrial commissioner next year, it was felt that it would be wise for the city to hold on te the pro- pert \ FY Ald. Norris said that with the wid- ening of the Welland canal, there was no doubt, but that something wonld come to Kingston, and that this property would be good for some industry. The other members of the committee were also of the opinion perty, with the result that no action was taken. On motion of Ald. Robertson and Al. Norris, a hearty vote of thanks was tendered to the chairman. Ald. Corbett, for the able manner in whidh he had presided as the head of the committes during the year, and for the attention he had givem all the business coming before him. Ald. Simmons added his tributé to the chairman, and the motion was car- usiasm. ried with much eath It is required by every organ of thé te functions. 5 that it* would not be wise to open | consider his action, 'states his opin- negotiations for the sale of the pro- | i 1d | OF THE CANADIAN UNDERWRIT. | | ERS" INSPBOTOR'S REPORT ™ i FE i | Concerning the Kingston Waterworks i | Pumps--He States That the In | { Spector's Figures Are All Wrong. | i For several years Kingstonhasbesn | unfairly treated in the reports of the | { Canadian Underwriters' Inspector in | regard to the waterworks. For the | | past three years, Thomas Hewitt, ex- | superintendent of the water plant {has "called" the reports of the in- | Spector and shown his figures to be { wong. At the Utilities Commission | meeting Monday afternoon, Mr. Hew- | #tt, who 15 a member of that body, {presented his critisclsms of the | year's report of the inspector, andthe | Commission ordéred that it be sent | to' the city council for reference. Mr. Lond, report is as follows: | "On looking over the fire insurance | inspector's report of July 17th, 1819, | he has again made the statement that | the speed of the waterworks pump | Is very dangerous and excessive and | no pump for fire service should be | run more than 100 feet per minute. | "In answer the Killey pump has | run for 30 years and the Inglis pump { for twenty-three years and there has never been 'a break due 10 this exces- i sive and dongerous speed, and 1 know | of many other pumps running suc | cessfully at this speed for years. I i also know that Montreal waterworks | pumps running at 100 feet per min- | ute had spme bad breaks." Toronto | had two of these 100 feet per minute pumps and had many breaks with | them and were glad to get rid of { them. "Further he says the two pumps cannot be run together on account of the intake on the boiler capacity be- | ing insufficient. In his 1917 report | he stated the intake would supply 2,500,000 gallons. This year's test proves that it supplied to the electric | pump at the rate of §,480,00C gallons | through four bands, two stop valves j one check valve, and a twelve inch { inlet to the pump. This is not the Hmit of the infake discharge but only of the pump which the inspector { in his 1917 report said wes a 3 1-2 | million gallon pump. | "The inspector gave that report in face of the fact that the eral con- sumption was at the rate of about four million and the discharge of twelve streams, 2,482,660 gallons in addition. . To meet this he states (1917) the amount of 4,000,000 gal- lons said to have been pumped up in one day was computed from the revo- lution counter on the pump, is there- fore totally unreliable and cannot be taken to account in giving the capacity of the pipe. In 1918 we made a test of the pump discharge through the meter and found a dif- i tween pump displacemen meter measurement. J "As to the bollers he hasinhis 1917 report 98 three-inch tubes in each boiler which is not correct. They are 3 1-2 inch. These boilers have | been running for over twenty years and we have never found them in-/ sufficient to run the pumps to their full capacity. If we required more steam we could get it by increasing either the draft or the grates. 1 think this proves that the computa- tion from the engine countre is en- tirely reliable end the inspector's re- port is unréMable and ds full of state- ments that are not correst. As he blames the engineer for giving him wrong information, he himself is to blame for not going to the manager or chief engineer for it. r A $As to the drop of six pounds pres- PACE 8] TARE ~~ remmne E-- 'Again we draw Your attention to Travelling Goods Which make the most 1 Handsome and useful Gifts . i: Ladies' and Gentlemen's Travelling Bags -- best grades range from ........$20.00 to $35.00 Our $10.00 to $15.00 grades are the best that can be had at the price.

FOR SPEAKER-TO-BE Now Reconciled to Loss of Prince Edward . Member. Nelson Parliament, Liberal mem- | ber for Prince Edward, whose ac- | 'ceptance of Hon. Mr. Drury's offer | of the speakership of the Ontario | Legislature was not at the outset at | all to the liking of H. Hartley Dew- art, K.C., who did not fancy losing any of his following to the Farmer- Labor Coalition, has now received. the Liberal leader's blessing. - Ina letter to C. T. Stevenson, pre- | sident of the Prince Edward Liberal Association, Mr. Dewar, comment- | ing upon the fact thas Mr. Parlia- | ment's supporters .are to meet to ion that the offer to the Prince Ed- ward member is "an honor and dis- tinction" which will be appreciated by his constituents. "Whether the life of this Govern- ment be long or short," he says, "I feel assured that in accepting the position, with your approval, Mr. Parliament will not sacrifice his ad- herence to the - best traditions of Liberalism and of the new construc- tive Liberal party." Mr. Parlia- mwent's absence from Liberal confer ences, Mr. Dewart is sure, will not be due to any lack of sympathy with their progressive policies.
