I ORSESN AN Should Pay for the Priviliges EAGLE RIVER, Ont, Jan. 22, 1922. Dear editor,--I notice in your lasi issue that the Council of Machin ad- vocated cconomy at the expense of the Clerk and Treasurer, whose salary of $175.00 is already low enough consid- ering the work to be done. What about the new school janitor at $240 a year? And as the school is also uced for a dance hall at a rental of $3 per n'ght, which I undersand goes to the janitor for attendance and for cleaning up-- which the dancers could do themselves and save expense. Now, the taxpay- ers should open their eyes to the fact .that three dollars per night will not "pay for the wear and tear of school, fuel and light, let alone help to clear off the enormous debt of same. If a certain class of the people want the room for dancing, let them pay a fair rent to help the ratepayers--not to feather the nest of a few. --AN OBSERVER. Sir,~Having read the articles by Old-Timer and Fair Play in a recent issue, I would like to say that Old Timer has apparently forgotten his "petty sarcasm" contained in his write up on the "cordwood king." Regard- ing the assistance to setlers, it must be admitted thet no one was out of pocket in the helping out process. No doubt Old Timer, having received the credit several years ago as he speaks of, would no doubt--now that he is at the end of hls resources--be glad to renew said credit! In regard to the article by Fair Play, it was quile apparent to any- one reading it that he was not present at that meeting, or he would not have McCormick x Sokal made the mistakes that he did. It was Mr Spencer who was chairman-- not A. S. M'Kenzie. = Messrs Tyler and M'Kenzie refrained from voting, and the chairman likewise. As he calls twenty ratepayers a small meeting, I would like to know what he would call the meeting of three years ago when only four were prejnt: It is only right tha apologies should be tendered on behalf of Farmers to Chairman Spencer for the neglect to thank him for his able services.

These groves make the fields where located rather | awkward to work, but the cattle cer- tainly enjoy themselves among the trees.

They, of course, must be protected when young, from injury by the stock, but this can be done without too much expense. In the meantime, on dairy farms. , where ho shade is available in the | regular pasture field, sometimes a wood-lot ean be utilized for the stock during the heat of the day, though they may damage the young trees: to some extent. Another plan is to: keep the cattle in a darkened stable | for part of the day.

This plan also reduces worry from flies, when the windows are covered to make the stable dark. Cows frequently suffer from lack of sufficient water. As a boy, the writer remembers driving cattle to "Bdg Crick" in Brant County during dry spells. The cows were nearly famished when they reached the "Crick" "apd would drink until they looked like bursting. But, by the time they reached home, after walk- ing for a mile-and-a-half over a dusty road, the cattle were nearly as thirsty a8 ever.
