: o .- s I v; . it .4 ’J’ ’ ‘Ithat town. crisis, in falling from m Cow Beats World’s Record. About twenty two miles south of Utica, Inear Solsville, New York, a cow has just - distinguished herself by smashing the ‘ world's record in the amount of milk and butter production in a seven day test. Farmer Eugene ,Lamunion had a cow which was producing milk and butter in 7 such quantities that he had to milk the animal four times a day, so he took ad- vantage of a privilege granted by the 1 State Department of Agriculture and ‘ called upon the department for a test of the cow, the State to pay one half of the lzost of the test and the owner the other 3- a‘l’. _ A A representative of the State Depart- ment and another dairy sharp from the Oornwall Agriculture College, came to the farm, and for thirty days they fed the animal, weighing every ounce 01 food ; given her as well as every ounce 0! imilk and butter she produced. The reâ€" ' suit was that the 2 years, 11 months and 23 days old cow has smashed the world‘s record. not only for the production of «cows of that age, but of the test that a I cow of any age has produced. Lockhart de Kol No. 101,544, is the .‘highly poetical name of this extremely practical cow. and for seven days she- ,gave over 80 lbs. of milk each day and ;produced 29.27 lbs. of butter. The high- -est record for this age of a cow was 27. ‘ 06 lbs. of butter in seven days. Farmer Lamu‘nion was offered $2,500 for the cow ibut he promptly refused it. o‘ The cornerstone of the Knox Church, of . Peterboro, of which Rev. W. H. Keith is } pastor, was laid Saturday afternoon by Lt.Gov. Gibson. The new church will r seat 000, and is to cost $23,000. The Orillia Board of Trade proposes ti- “establish a fish hatchery for pickerel in The first cost would be in 7the neighborhood of $500, and it would :require about $150 a year afterwards for ivrunning expenses. The capacity would "be several millions yearly. A large assortment of Campbell's IStains and Floor Finishes have just been received by J. Heard. These Stains are unequalled for staining and, varnishing ‘furniture and interior wood work. The floor finish is very durable and suitable L for all floors. Ask for color card. At St. Thomas a day has been set aside ‘ as a " cleaning-up " day, and the Mayor has gone so far as to proclaim a school 'holiday upon the appointed day, so that rthe children can assist in cleaning up 'the city and in improving their schoo' agrounds and homes, making them more attractive and sanitary. ‘ The Department .oi" Railways and ~Canals at Ottawa is said to be consider- i-ing‘ the appointment of another govern- ment otlicial in Lindsay in the near future.

Surely it is worth Something to have :au organization representing the busi- ness interests of the town, and payment 'of the member‘s fee and attendance at a few meetings durng the year are not a very onerous requirement. If it is worth having it is worth supporting. if it is not doing its duty, let those who see where it is going wrongr attend the meetings and help to put it on the right track. In reply to the question what eli‘ect prohibition had on Kansas. Governor Siuhbs replied that “Kansas is now and for a number of years has been the most prosperous State in the Union ; that her banks, In rns, and bins are full to overflo- wing; that in some. of h-r counties no criminal prosecutions for any mine have been had for more than ten years; tha‘ 150 per cent. of her jails are empty; that ‘75 of her p-mrhousos are empty. and in many counties have been sold and dis- posed of as no longer necdl‘ul : that alâ€" most one-third of her entire population is enrolled in public school-4 and private colleges: that Kansas is a land ol'plenty. and that nowhere on the globe exists a more sober, happy, :1. ‘(l prosperous pm)- bla."

Any Farmer Can Grow the Gourd and Transform It Into a Pipe. Do you want a calabash pipe? It so. you needn’t: pay a dealer from $5 to , Gmw it and make it t, yourself. After you have grown the gourd you can make 'the pipe in about $12 for one. half an hour at a cos‘t.ot half a dol- lar. So says the bureau of plant in- dustry at Washington. homemade calabash, if you take prop< er pains in the making. will be just as artistic and satisfactory as the ex- pensive imported one.- The Calabash is made from a South African gourd. Until recently this gourd was not grown elsewhere, but the American consul at Cape Town, (3me mm: oceans. calabash seeds to the department of agriculture in 1906. Since then the government has discovered by experi- nlmost anywhere in the United States. It grows luxuriantly. each vine pro- ducing many gourds. Not'all of them are suitable for pipe materiaL Many are blighted by inscct bites or other causes. Most of the gonrds crook their own necks in growing. If the grower wants a pipe neck with arti~ ficial kinks he can get what he wants by bending the pliable neck in the way it is desired for it to grow and then waiting until the gourd matures. Cut off the big end of the gourd at the point indicated for your pipe bowl’s top. Clean out the pith. Cut off the neck end and make a little hole with your knife blade. Get a curved pipe mouthpiece with a screw thread. One from any old pipe will do, but it should be carefully boiled beforehand to cleanse it from nicotine deposits. Screw the thread into the opening in the neck of your gourd. It you want an inner pipe bowl that can be takenout for cleaning, you can buy a cheap one, such as is used in meeb schaums, at a tobaccontst’s store. A little plaster of paris poured into the calabash bowl and the inner bowl then pressed down flush with the top of the cut off gourd will make the. in- ner bowl fit snugly. Don’t leave it in the plaster of paris more than three minutes when fitting, for if you do it will set hard and be permanently stuck. Take it out after two or three minutes, when the plaster is partly dried. ' Afterthe plaster dries thoroughly put the inner bowl back. get a pipeful or good tobacco, light a match, place masasn’rirns. the bit in your mouth. puff away and dream dreams of cold long sync o.- F rashes in the air.
