Fenelon Falls, March 8th, 1893, The Fcnelon Falls Gazette. Friday. October 6th, 1893. The Travelling Dairy. On Tuesday afternoon the travelling dairy from the Guelph Agricultural College gave an exhibition in Ingram's _ Hall, and the modus operandi of mak- ing butter scientifically was explained by W. F. Carlyle, B. S. A., who runs. the whole show with a single assistant. The outfit, which is carried around the country on a spring waggon, consists of a daisy churn, a triangular board on which to mix butter with a wooden roller, a little machine that presses the butter into one-pound rolls, and the Babcock tester, in which chemistry and centrifugal force unite to discover just how much butter fat there iein each sample of milk submitted to it. As we were only able to be present for a short time towards the close, we missed \lr. Carlyle’s lecture, which was listened to attentively by a fair audience, though by no means as large as it should have been, consideriagfithe valuable informa- tion that was to be obtained by attendâ€" ing. Circulars header “Hints on But- termakiug," and containing full instruc- tions on the subject, were distributed free to all who chose to accept them; and if these instructions be closely and carefully followed “ gilt-edged ” butter can almost invariably be made. The Babcock tester is not an expen- sive machine, and- Mr. Carlyle told his hearers that a size large enough to test four samples of milk at once is to be manufactured and sold at $5. At that price every farmer ought to have one, or a share of one with two or three neigh- bors, as it is of the utmost importance to know which cows are profitable and which are not; and the value of milk (to everybody but a city dairyman) depends upon its quality. The average percentage of butter fat in milk is 3.07; but of the samples tested by Mr. Car- lyle one was as high as 6.09 and the other a fraction over 7 per cent. The first of these was from a thorough-bred three-year-old Durham cow (white, but with a yellow skin) owned by Mr. Richard Lamb, and the second was from a venerable cow of samhughcsliko pedigree that Mr. W. H. Stevenson got in a trade. After the show on Wednes- day Mrs. Stevenson kindly presented us ,Willl a pound of the “ Government butter” as somebody called it; but, as it was made of mixed cream and had been on exhibition all the afternoon in a Warm building, it was fairly good butter, and that was all. M Agricultural Shows. If the time ever arriveâ€"and it is now often predicted â€"â€" when animal strength as well as steam power is super- scded by electricity, there will be a sad falling off in the attendance at agricul- tural shows; that is, unless human nature undergo a radical change, for, as it is at present constituted, all the legitimate attractions of even the Lind- say central exhibition would draw com- paratively few people from their homes without the additional attraction of what somebody has sarcastically called “ a pure agricultural hoss trot," but which is eupliemistically known as “ speeding in the ring.” To be sure, performing dogs count for something, and so do fireworks and other things; - but it will be a bad day for agricultural shows, if not for agriculture, when horses are knocked out. by electricity. The Lindsay Central last week was fully up to the average-in some respects better ; but the racing (to “call a spade a spade ") was the paramount theme on almost every male tongue, the other features of the exhibition being evi- . dcntly looked upon as mere “ side shows " by a tremendous majority of the men and boys present. It was the same here on Wednesday. the second and last day of the Fcnelon Branch Agricultural Society’s fall show, which was better than that of last year in all kinds of live stock except poultry, of which there was no more than can be seen in any fairly prosperous farmer's barnyard. The heavy rain on Wednes- day morning no doubt kcpt some in- tending exhibitors at home; but there was a good turn-out of not only horses, cattle and pigs, but. of sheep also, although the day was extremely un- favorable for them. There were no implements or carriages on the ground, , as the money prizes for them were taken off the list two years ago. Down- stairs in the hall there was a fair dis- play of fruit. vegetables and butter in rolls, but there was very little grain, and somebody said (jokingly) that what there was must have been grown last season, as there was this year none to exhibit. Upstairs there was an un- usually good crop of quilts and a fair , . _ . _ mcnt beng always m~ connect-ion Will): number of other articles; and at the upper er east end of the hall the Syndi- catc store had a line display of dry goods, clothing, carpets, etc., which elicited a good deal of admiring com- ment. Early in the afternoon the hall was crowded, but as the hour for the “ speeding in the ring " approached it was deserted. The races were keenly , contested throughout, and very good“ time was made considering the condition of the track. Echo is a four year old colt, and was owned up to a month ago . by Mr. B. Maybee.

The Port Hope Guide says: “ There is some talk of a Government tax on patent medicines. It is advo- cated as a means of revenue, and, inci- dentally, as a discouragement to ‘quack ’ medicines. Canadians do not care for many more taxes, but if the Govern- ment required every proprietary remedy package, big or little, to be accompanied with its printed formula, and provided a penalty for adultoration or fraud, the public might be benefited.” We doubt whether a tax on “ pro- prietary ” medicines, as they are called, would do any good, as the only effect would be to lessen the profits of the proprietors or to increase the price of the medicine; but the suggestion rela- tive to the printed formula is certainly a good one, as it would tell the pur- chaser exactly what he was getting, and would probably weaken his beliefiu the “miracles” so persistently advertised in the public prints. Some few of the oldest patent medicines no doubt sell on their merits ; but many a new one has had a run for a time, until its worth- lessncss has been proved, in consequence of the outrageous lying of its prepric- tors; and to induce the public to pur- chase a medicine, or anything else, by misrepresentations is simply obtaining money under false pretenses and should be punished as such. rawâ€"m . _._..._ .â€" Powlcs’s Corners.

Obituary. ,, Within the past fortnight two old and well known residents of this village have: been removed by the hand ofd-cath. Mr. Wm.

In 1813 he was brought to: Canada, and lived in the county of York until he reached manhood} when he bought. a farm in Brock, which he often» wards sold and bought another in Finâ€"- elon, where he lived until about seven years ago. when lre-sold‘ it to his son-in» law, Mr. Peter Purdue, and moved into the Falls. He leaves four sons, for each - of whom he bought a farm as they grow up, and three daughters. The- faithful partner of‘ his joys and sorrows died“ soon after they came to the village. He- was a man of genial disposition and‘hnd’. many friends, and his funeral on the- 24th was very numerously attended, especially by residents of the township. On Monday, September 25th, about noon, Mr. James Cameron was gathered to his fathers. He was the son of Dan-- icl Cameron, a native of Scotland, and Johannah Kenoally of Cloync, County of Cork, Ireland, and was» born at Queenstown in that county on August 15th, 1831. He emigrated to Canada in 185â€"1., and, after spending a year at Montreal, came to F-enelon Balls, whore! ho resided until his death, his employ- thc lumbering. business, except a- short time spent as purscr‘ on Capt. Wallace’c- boat. Mr. Cameron was married on April 14th, 1858, to a daughter of Mr. James Junkin, who now lies dying of' sheer old age at his late son-in-law’c. residence on Louisa. street. Mr.Ca1uâ€" eron was for several years treasurer of the village, and for the long period of 38 years he was a constant attendant, and the greater part of the time an oflicial, of St. James' Church. He was cut off in what ought to have been but little past the prime of life by a disease of the threat that began to- trouble him about a year ago, and which apou‘ mortem examination, made at his own- request, proved to be malignant cancer. Deceaased was interred on the after-- noon of the 27th in the English church: burying-ground by the side of a daughter who died upwards of 20 years ago, and, as an evidence of the respect and esteem: in which he was hold, all. the stores in: the village were closed from 2 o’clock until 4, in order that employers and em-. ployecc might attend the funeral. Mr... Cameron leaves a widow, four com and three-daughters to mourn the loss of a loving and beloved husband and father. W Personals. Mr. Henry Graham of Kinmouut is at the Falll helping to put up- the ad- dition to the Baptist parsonage. Miss Lovell of Lindsay was at the Falls visiting Mrs. W. L. Robson from Tuesday last until this morning. Mr.Thomas Archer is home from the shanty of which he is chief engineer in the township of Longford, but will go back in a very few days. Mr. M. W. Brandon is home from Callander, Out, and will not returnâ€"4 at least for the present, as the mill in ' which he was book-keeper and manager has shut down for the season. Mr. R. R. Elliot. formerly proprietor of the Millbrook Reporter, and recently appointed High Inspector of the I. O. O. F., was at the Falls last Wednesday on business of the order and went north the same day. Mr. George Whissile is off to the woods again. The last we saw of him- he was going down street with his head hidden in a canoe, making him look like an animated capital T, and justthe spectacle to frighten horses. Mr. Henry Mulligan of Millbrook, valuator for the Midland Loan 00., war at the Falls yesterday on business. He is in mourning for his wife, who Wfll hero with him on the 18th of last June- and died aftcra few hours illness on the 12th of July. Village Council Proceedings. D Fenclou Falls, Oct. 2nd, 1893.
