H EHEEEDE DEEEEDE DEEEEDE DEEEHDB DEEEEEE EEEEEDE DEEEQDQ The Fenclon Falls Gazette Friday, April. 2131., 1911 The Neglected Hen. A noteworthy instance of the im- provement that is being made in vari- ous branches of agriculture is found :in the experience of a. co-operative icow-testing association in the United States, where the annual average : profit per cow was in four years raised from $21.43 to $42.82, or practically doubled. This was the result of weed- ing out animals that Were discovered by actual test to be inferior. It dem- onstrates very forcibly the unwisdom of gueSSWork as opposed to definite and absolute knowledge, especially with regard to the producing capacity of dairy cows. The remarkable in- crease in productiveness and in profit that has followed the intelligent effort of dairy cattle breeders would be cer- tion and management of domestic : their egg-laying proclivities. Improve- ment in this direction has not kept pace with the advance in other lines, the introduction of the trap nest and of record keeping being comparatively recent. Very few farmers or poultry- men can tell which of their birds are the best layers, and may unknowingly be the possessors of a few remarkably good individuals, and at the same time be keeping others that do not pay for their feed. The difficulty in the way of the adoption of more pre- cise methods is that trapnesting looks like a. lot of trouble and fussing. The trouble is, however, more imaginary than real. Besides, nothing worth work. Another obstacle is that too much attention has been given» to show-room requirements in the breed- ing of poultry, although when not carried too far nothing can be said against it. A thing of beauty is a joy forever. But eggs are a. joy only when fresh, and plentiful. The pioneers in the keeping of exact records, for the purpose of culling out poor and indifferent performers, will find that, as far as they are concerned, it will settle the burning question, “Do Hens Pay?” A more general adoption of the practice-would inci- cidentally remove part of Mud.

It is estimated that over $100,000 has been expended in the village of Wilber- force alone. At this. point a graphite mill, which will treatabout one hundred tons a day, has been erected by the Vir- ginia Graphite Co.,,New York, and sufa liciont power has been assured to enable the company to increase the capacity at a later date” Considerable activity will be witnes- sed this spring on properties in the vic- inityof Wilberforce. The English Land. Company are opening up a molybdenite mine about two miles away, and the ex: tonsive plant recently installed would indicate that they intend getting after ore in. earnest. The North American Exploration and Development Company, of Toronto, have taken on large interests, and have grouped their properties..so as to cut down the cost cfmining. They have taken over claims withexcellent show ing of mica, graphite and magnetic iron, all of which will be aggressively worked. Dwyer and Elliott have a gang They have trenched andrsunk pits at intervals over. an area of 250 the iron ore for a distance of over a. mile on their 300 acres.

They will recom- mence work this summer. This section of the Province has recei- ved little publicity, but should the pre- sent plans be carried out, it is likely the results will do much to awaken interest in the rich mineral products that are known to exist there. Wilberforce is in Haliburton county, about 75 miles north of Trenton. The Central Ontario Rail- way passes through the district. Hydro-Electric For Lindsay. Mail and Empire. “ Notification was sent to Lindsay yesâ€" terday by the Hon. Adam Beck, chairman of the Hydro-Electric Commission, of the terms made by the commission with the Lindsay Light, Heat and vaer- Co. The municipality will submit a. by-law to the ratepayers. for the ratification of the agreement, and there is no doubt that it will pass, as the commission has made the terms by which the town will save about $20,000. The town wil take about 2,000 horsepower, and- will soon be in the Hydro-Electric zone. “ The question of the supply of cheap power for Peterborough was discussed there by the Hon. Adam Beck and the Citizens’ Committee. The engineers of the commission have looked over the situation and presented a report; and, if the city act on the report, Peterboro’ will be in a position independent of the power merger which generates power on the Trent River. The city will get power from the Otonabee Power Co. “ Midland and Ponctang will vote next week on byâ€"laws authorizing the towns to make contracts with the commission. Penetang will buy out the existing plant, and both places, together with Waubau‘ shaushene, will take power supplied by the commission through the Simcoe Light and Power Co.” Wind-up Meeting of Curlers. The wind-up meeting of the curling club was held on Thursday evening last at the rink. The treasurer's books show a small balance on hand. This year the regular schedule competition for the J- H. Brandon cup was won by skip 'l‘hos. Graham and his rink, who will hold it until next year. Skip Stan- ton was a. close second. The other eight rinks figured as also rans. As an illustration of the uncertainties of our- ling it may be mentioned that last sea- son skip Graham failed to win a single schedule game, while this year he is at top of the heap, winning seven out of eight games played, and being also suc- cessful in making the highest score in the points competition, the prize for which is the pair of curling stones very generously donated by Mr. F. A. Mc- Diarmid for the points game, previous to his departure for Vancouver. Mr. McDiarmid was an active member of the club for four or five years after his arrival here in 1900, and will no doubt be pleased to hear that the stones have been won by skip Graham, with whom he- was associated on the managing committee during his residence at the Falls. - ~ The two man games for the Brandon trophy will be awarded by the con1~ mittee to the couple who in their judge- ment are best entitled to it.~ Personal.
