Mr. Fisher â€"Mr. Gilbert Boyd of Gravenhurst, one of the best known deer hunters and all- round spox tsmsn in Muskoka, died at the General hospital. Toronto, on Friday after- noon ot last week as the result of a cancerous growth in his jaw and neck. and the shock attending the operation. Mr. Boyd was admitted to the hospital early in the Week, and the seriousness of his condition was explained to him by the surgeons. The patient, however. decided to take the risk or an operation rather than bear the pain of the growth. He was operated on, Friday afternoon, but shortly afterward collapsed unexpectediv, and died almost immediately. He was 43 years the stomach, musing slight temporary congestion, which relieves the blood vessels of the brain. The hot milk is also quite strengthening to the stomach.” ‘ to a little work I would recommend. instead, a bowl of very hot milk, (without so muchas a water) immediately before retiring. The hotter the mlik the better for the purpose. This will prove a. better sleep-producer than all the oolates known to medical science.

In connection with the export apple trade, however, it is not the farmer who has afew barrels of apples to sell, but the one who makes fruit- zrowinga business, who is the more guilty. And from a purely business standpoint it is hard to understand why he should be so dishonest when in the end it will re-sct against himself. He is in the business to stay and its future success will depend upon the permanency of the future marker, It must not be taken for granted from the foregoing that all the fruit-packers in his province are dishonest. There may be Only a. few guilty of dishonest packing. but the actions of these few are eufl‘icient to bring the whole trade» into discredit, and to make it almost impossible to develop it further. For this reason it is more urgent l that summary [erasures should be taken land that these dishonest parties, who are not only robbing the British consumer of what he pays Ior and the Canadian prom ducer of the grad name which he has acquirei for upright dealing, but are also robbing their neighbor who packs his apples in an honest way, in that they pre- vent him from getting the price for his goods which he would get if every barrel sent out of the country was honestly and careiully packed. There are times when shipped everv day, it would take a‘ whoie army of officials to see that every barrel was honestly packed. The difficulty then of getting at these dishonest parties is therefore very great, but, nevertheless, some method should be adopted to prevent their repetition the coming season. and dumping the apples out, which would mean a. great loss to honest packers. If every packer were compelled to put some distinguishing mark upon each barrel by which the dishonest packer could be traced up and puniehed, the practice would soon cease.

Last week about 250 visitors assembled at Chelmsi'ord to witness the demonstrations. On all the plots the crops were oats and beans. Plot 1 had been sprayed eiuht days before with a two per cent. solution of sulphate of copper at the ;rite of thirty-five gallons per acre.

Plot 3 had been sprayed six days previously with a two per cent. solution of sulphate of copper at the rate of fifteen gallons per acre, and plot 4 three days before with a two per cent. solution at the rate of twenty gallons per acre. On both plots the charlock was killed and the crops were not injured. Plot 5 had been spray- ed three days before with a two and a halt per cent. solution of sulphate of iron at the rate of forty gallons per acre ; the charlock was seen to be dead, whilst the oats and beans were uninjured. The demonstration afi‘orded much satisfaction to many who had travelled long distances in order to see it. l â€"A sad diowning accident occurred in Orillia on Saturday afternoon last. Mrs. Geo. Haynes ot Meatord, with her son Maurice, was visiting her sister, Mrs. D. Carmichael. The little lad went out to play with his cous'n on arising from his afternoon nap, shortly after four o’clock. The latter missed him a few minutes later, and asked Mrs. Carmichael where he had zzone. She went off to search for him. Meantime Mrs. Havnes went to th-z Ciiiel n to draw some Water, and on looking in saw her son floating near the op hing. She pulled him out, and called for help. Every effort was made to revive the lad. but without avail. He had been out of the house only a few minutes. The lid of the cistern is a heavy one, and fitted tightly, Mr. Carmichael having placed it there for safety just before his visitors come.
