The offence is not at all a new one, and we are sure that the sympathy and approval of every right- minded citizen would be with the man who laid such an information. We do not object to the boys enjoying them- selves. either by dancing or otherwise", but we do object to hearing language commonly used by toughe and rowdies of the lowest grade.

Although the spring is considered a late one, yet: the weather is beautiful, the land drying fast, and the farmers are very busy putting in the seed.

This firm manufacture sugar, flour, apple and sell: tarrel staves, and their mills are well worthy ashort des- cription. They are situated on the shores of Cameron lake and consist: of a saw mill 24 by 60 and a shave mill also 24 by 60, each with a powerful engine. The boiler room is 18 by 24 and is sup- plied with two large boilers. There is a large mill yard and numerous sheds, but the latter have to be areatly increased, as the mill turns out 30,000 staves in a day. The firm employ thirty-five men regularly, and will have extra hands em- ployed next week putting in the switch from the mills to the G.T.R. station. The process by which the staves are manufactured is an exceedingly interest- ing one, as the firm is most decidedly enterprising. and work in the most im- proved and up-to-date manner. The logs are first conveyed from the landing place by horses, one at each end. and are joined together by a pin driven into each log and also into a link of the con- necting chain. They are thus rolled through the water to the saw-mill. There they are cut into blocks by a drag saw and afterwards split into bolts with a large circular saw. The bolts then go to an endless chain conveyor which takes them to the steam boxes thirteen in number, and each holding three cords. Here they remain all night and are steamed, in the morning they are re moved from the home on the opposite side from which they entered, placed on another chain conveyor and taken to the stave mill. Here they pass between two circular saws and are cut into equal lengths, after which they go to the stave knife and are cut into staves. They are then put on wagons and drawn to the sheds ready for shipping. The industry is thriving and we trust that it will lone continue to do so and bring into the firm mood interest on the large sum of money they have thus invested in our village. -Every man needs an umberella, GOUGE has them from 25c up to $3.00. THE WATCHMAN-WARDER: LINDSAY. ONT;- FENELON FALLS Advice That Comes From the Results of Successful Experience.- I1‘he splendid crop of clever harVested in all the eastern provinces last year must have proved of great value in the feeding of stock this winter, since there is no fodder crop grown in this country which so fully meets the needs of the animal economy, being more nearly a balanced ration than any other. Large areas of clover sod were doubtless plowed down last fall in preparation for this ear’s crops of grain, roots and corn, and will tell mightily for good asa fertilizing agency and in supplying the necessary vegetable matter which will improve the mechanical condition of the land, enabl- ing it to retain moisture and to keep the land from running together and baking from the action of the sun after heavy rains, as“ all clay soils especially are liable to do. The clover plant stores up in its tissues large supplies of nitrogen, one of the most valuable and expensive fertilizers gathered from the air, and thus cheaply provides one of the most efiectual fertilizing agencies for the deVel- opmcnt of most farm creps, while the roots penetrate deeply into the subsoil and bring from these lower strata addi- tional stores of plant food. Clover when fed to stock goes back upon the land in the form of rich manure to recruit its fertility, and thus leaves it in about as good condition as it found it, while the returns from the stock fed, in the form of beef, butter, cheese, bacon, mutton and W001, will prove as satisfactory, taking one year with another, as any of the pro- ducts of the farm. Experiments conductd at the Central Experimental Farm last year showed that the Weight of clever leaves. stems and roots produced by the end of October from seed sown with a grain crop in April ran from six to eight tons per acre, and chemical analyses have proven that each ton of this material adds to the soil almost as much hydrogen as one and a half tons of barnyard manure. It has also been demonstrated that land on which clover has thus been grown has given from five to ten bushels per acre more than similar soil where no clover was sown, the treatment being the same. The low price of clover seed at the present time may well be taken adv nt- age of by farmers, and liberal ing should be the rule. It will pay well to sow clover with all grain crops, even it it has to be plowed down next fall, since the clover seed can be sown with the grain without extra labor, and the cost of growing it is only that of the seed, which at present prices_}s only about 75 cents per: acre. It will furnish some pasture for stock, and will more than pay for itself as a fertilizer when plowed down. We are aware of the discouragements met with in some districts from repeated failures to secure a catch of seeds, but the doctrine of “final perseverance" is in this matter a safe one to follow, and the only safe one, for we cannot aflord to give it up, and we all know that pleasant surprises sometimes await us, when the heart of the farmer is zladdcned by the bloom of the clever and its SWeet fra- grance. It is a harbinger of good times, an omen of health and thriftiness in the farm stock, and of a profitable increase in the quantity and improvement in the quality of the products of the farm. Therefore we feel safe in urging the admonition to sow clover and keep on sowing it.â€"London Farmer’s Advocate. gagoru Goa“. H. T. Fuchs of Texas has this to say of Angoras: “Any part of western and central Texas is good for goats where you find plenty of brush. herbs and weeds. with clean water and rough. hilly. rocky country. A well graded ANGORA BUCK flock will produce ‘four pounds of mo- hair per capita each year. The muttons can be easily sold to Texas butchers. as everybody is fond of Angora mutton. They pay as well as sheep or better, and do not need as good range as sheep. These goats will do well where other stock will starve. In kidding time you should keep the does that bring kids in a separate small pasture that is not too brushy, so you can find and bring home the kids at night. About the only kind of feed I ever give my Angoras is cutâ€" ting down some live oaks in the winter in case of snow and sleet. Where we have plenty of range inside of a wolf. proof fence we can raise these most profitable and beautiful animals as cheap as or cheaper than chickens.
