1110â€"1110111" 1111 1111 111111 The Hon. Adam Beck Details the Uses Power Can Be Put To. A despatch from Guelph says: A cream separator was operated twice a day by Hydro-electric p.1w- er in the dairy section at the On- tario Provincial Winter Fair, and attracted a great deal of attention. The machine is so simple that it can be attached to any electric light. fixture. There are also pictures on show demonstrating the uses to which electricity can be put on the farm. The pictures were gathered by Hon. Adam Beck during his travels in Europe. The uses to which electricity can be adapted on the farm were ex- plainedp to over athousand interes- ted listeners from rural ,Jza 'ts at- a public meeting in the City Hall, by Hon. Adam Beck. Professor G. C. Creelman, Presi~ dent of the O. A. 0., presented ‘he case of his college before the far- m-ers, urging them to avail them- selves of it, and to spread its in- fluence. He also urged the crying need of the college for greater fa- cilities and more extended accom- modation and more money from the Government. ‘ The Minister of Power promised the audience that within a few year-s his department would have 1,000 miles of low voltage lines throu Ontario, and country farms for eight miles all along these lines could be served by power. Mr. Beck told of what he had seen of the op- eration of electricity on farms in European. countries. Plowing, thrashing, milking cows. and man other operations were included. He promised the. farmers that in On- tario all these things could be done by Hvdro- electric power, and that the use of electricity would be a rest economy. An expe1iment End been tried at Ingersoll of fil- ' ling asilo by electric power, which showed that the electric operation cost $32 less than the same opera- tion by steam power. A STRIKING DIFFERENCE. The st1iking difference in the 11cc received by the farmer for his Eeef and those paid by the consum- er was pointed out in an address on the economical feeding of beef cattle by Prof. J. H. Grisdale, Di- rector of the Dominion Experimen- l I l tal Farm at Ottawa, who also gave some instances to show how many farmers make little out of their beef cattle. It cost the farmers from six to ten cents, live Weight, to produce them. This cost in- cludes feeding, care, stabling, and all other items of expense. For this the farmers receive from four to eight cents a pound from the butchers, leaving a balance on the wrong side. At the same time the consumer pays from six to twentyâ€" five cents a pound for the same meat. The lecturer said he could not account for the difference in price, but believed the butchers might. Nevertheless, farmeis could make a good profit from beef, in spite of the differences, by care and economical feeding. 'SEED GRAIN MEN. Mr. L. H. Newman, B. S. A., Ottawa, Secretary of the Canadian Seed Grain Growers’ Association, outlined the aims and work of the association, which were, b1iefly, to encourage the production and dis- tribution of the best stock seed through the country. “It is our aim, ”g he said, “top at the hand- ling of the registered seed on a high commercial basis. We wish to increase the supply of 1ea1 good seed in Canada. We have in On- tario this year a little over 3, 000 bushels of registered seed. Many times this quantity are required, and it shall be our aim to work to- wards increasing this supply in fu- ture years.” WOMEN’S INSTITUTE. Two hundred women from all parts of Wellington County held a meeting in connection with the Winter g‘Fair for the purpose of disâ€" cussing the work carried on by the Women’s Institute of the county. G. A. Putnam, of Tor,0nto superin- tendent of women’s institiites, who presided, spoke of the value of the institutes from a community and co- operative standpoint, and 1'efe1- led to the good work carried on along the lines of sanitation of schools and the distribution of good seeds. Next year, he said. the conâ€" vention would be extended by in- viting neighboring counties to send delegates. ”My. ONTARIO’S RAILWAY. Tcmiskaming Lide' s Profits for Eleven Months were $492, 822.

A despatch from Gibraltar says: The P. and O. steamship Delhi, bound for Egypt, 1an ashore on Wednesday two miles south of Cape Spartel, which is on the northeast coast of Mo1occo. A number of B1itish Royalties were on boaid the steamer, including the Prin- cess Royal, Louise Victoria, sister of King George V., her husband, the Duke of I‘ife, and their two daughters, P1i11cess Alexand1a and Princess Maud. The passenger list also included Lord and Lady Kinnaird, Sir Thomas Erskine Holâ€" land and Sir Lewis and Lady Moles- wor.th The Delhi was bound fiom London to Bombay. The Royal passengers were on route to Egypt, and she had about 100 saloon pasâ€" sengers. For-lunately the Delhi is fitted with 111i1eless,yand was able speedily to summon aid from Gib- raltai and Tangier. Several war- ships were soon on the spot, and in spite of the extremelv rough weather all the passengers were rescued. The landing of the passengers was a dangerous undertaking. and all concerned were extremely anxi- ous.- The waves were tremendous and the surf boats were constantly threatened with swamping. The Royal Princess and her daughters suffered like the 1'.est An ey eâ€" ~wit- ness of the landing on the ybeach at Cape Spartel says one boat capsized in the surf and all the occupants were drenched to the skin. Princess Alexandra, one of the daughters of the Duchess of Fife, was narrowly saved from drowning by a sailor, who grab- bed her by tyhe shoulders and bheld her 11p until the two were dragged ashore. The Duchess of Fife and her two daughters, after borrow- ing some clothes at the lighthouse, rode to Tangier on horseback. One of the launches of the French cruiser Friant, which had render- ed the biavcst of services in taking off the women and children, was sw amped and sank. Six of the crew wele dr.o1vned The others strug- gled ashore in an exhausted 'con- dition. Several attemptspf boats that wentto the assistance of the- Delhi were baffled by the tremendâ€" ous seas. It is doubtful if the ship can be saved, but if the gale abates the specie, mails and cargo may he landed. â€"#__E_____â€"_____-_____â€"_â€"__â€".._â€"_â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"-â€"~â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"_ â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"-â€"â€"‘â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"-â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€".â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"-â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"l 1111130111111 PRUDUBTSHIS MAJESTY IN INDIA REPORTS FROM THE LEADING TRADE CENTRES OF M AMERICA.
