Some time ago a Rathbnrn lady, while haeing in the garden, came upon a good sized rattler, and endeavored to kill it with the hoe. In this she was unsuccess- ful. and the snake immediately struck at her dress. but did not succeed in biting her. Adog came to the rescue of his mistress and bit the snake in two, not, however. before the reptile had bitten him twice, first on the shoulder and then on the month. The faithful canine, trange to say, is still alive. and beyond a 'light lndiapoaition at the time, has not showed any symptoms of the poisoning that: would naturally be expected to re- sult from the bite of the deadly reptile. â€"The summer theatre at Pine fore Park, St. Thomas, was blown down by a terrific storm that. passed over that city stout 8 o’clock Thursday night. The players were being prepared for the per-‘ formance, which was to start at 8.30, when the building collapsed. John Spurr, a young man about 24 years of age, who re- sides on Curtis-street, in that city and was connected with the theatre, was bad- ly injured. The rest were taken from the ruins and escaped with various cuts and bruises. The structure was a new one, being erected about three months ago. â€"Mr. John Livingstone, en, died at his home in Listowel. Out, on Thursday aged 89.

There was a strong family resemblance between the two brothers. and they maintained an intimate corres- pondence until the doctor’s death.

Ponton’s appeal for a new trial of his $50,000 suit against the Dominion Bank for alleged false arrest in Connection with the robbery of the bank’s branch at Napanee, was dismissed on Thursday afternoon by the Divisional Court at Toronto, with costs. The appeal was from the decision of Mr. Justice Street, who refused to postpone the case at Cobourg and dismissed it. â€"A fatal accident happened Thursday on the flats east of Emerson, when the 12-year old son of Michael Neuman lost his life. The young fellow had taken a horse out to water, and in order to get a more secure hold, had twisted the tie around his wrist. The horse made a and- den start. for the stable, and the boy, being unable to extricate himself, was dragged and struck against: the side of the stable door, being killed instantly.

Scotland. need hardly say that of course they must have dairy capacity, and in this respect the Canadian Ayrshire: are quite super- ior to the Scotch Ayrshires. By the use of imported Ayrshires. the Canadian breeders can bring out the style, or up- to-date Ayrshires. They will ultimately have better cattle than can be bought in Scotland. In the States there has been a great laxness among Ayrshire breeders in regard to breeding to type. The simple truth of the matter is. , they are waking up to find themselves so far behind the times that some are talking of American type, and others ridicule the Sootch‘type altogether. It’s a question of sour grapes. They are. many of them, out of the race altogether. They have been breeding along‘ after utility, and have, it must he said, a lot of rare dairy animals: but, alas, they are not salable for anything like the prices they/would be if they had kept up-to-date in, style. They hate to acknowledge this: and we have seen some awful work in the show rings in the States in late years, where, as last year, from making a large importatioh is the fact, as they have said to me, that if they should get them, judges would condemn them in the show ring; but the seed of oorruptioh. as some of the older breeders At two years“ old.

Kirkcudbright, Scotland. but three years have proven a leaven that is quickly working. and sure to work, in the interest of the up-to-date Scotch type. I know of several breeders that are converts: and all‘that stops them I was informed a first-class Canadian Ayrshire herd went begging for prizes because the judge did not like their light color and upright horns, and found them a little heavy handlers. The fact Was he was used to seeing nearly solid red Ayr- shires with crumpled horns, most likely the result of a Shorthorn cross somewhere back in the fifties, when that thing Was practiced, and to-day in any Ayrshire exhibit in the States many of the ani- mals look suspicious. Nevertheless, men have grown up from boys with this type in their eyes. and when now, for the first time, they see an up-to-date import- ed cow or bull come into the ring the radical difference shocks them. and, amid wailing and gnashing of teeth. they condemn her; but in spite of all this prejudice, the few imported Ayrshires that have come to the States Within the Now, an animal is worth what it will bring, and if Ayrshire breeders want to get the highest price for their animals; they may as well face the facts and breed for style, and the most modern style at that. Scotland sets the style of Ayrshires. as Paris sets the fashions in dress. Call it foolish or dudish, or .what you likeâ€"the breeder who produces it in his animals will be the man who makes the breeding of Ayrshires a. success. I There are some men, even Ayrshire breeders, who profess to keep Ayrshires and breed Ayrshires for utility only. They have never stopped to think that style or Ayrshire type is worth more and brings more in the markets than dairy ability. Go to any auction of Ayrshires and see that it’s not a question of simply being a registered animal that makes such a great difierence in the price of a pure Ayrshire, or grade of equal value at the pail. In fact, there are registered cows with good pedigrees .that will not bring as much as a grade, because of in- ferior milking qualities. but an upto- date, stylish. typical, modern Ayrshireâ€" a 40-pound cow or overâ€"comes under the hammer, and up goes the price one, two, three, four and five hundred dollars. as Was demonstrated at the Drummond sale last spring.

This statement will no doubt shock some (even some Ayrshire breeders), but if $50 will buy a 40-pound grade or native cow, then so far as the dairy qualities of the 40-pound registered Ayrshire are concerned she is worth $50. but her type, her peculiar style, her peculiar markings, the set of her horns. the grace of her lines, makes the differ- ence between a $50 and a $150 animal. every 41erer 11111815 nave ‘60 DB WOPUD)’ of recognition, we wish to discuss the] question of the value of type or style.

Now, when we pay $150 for a registered Ayrshire what is it we pay the extra $100 for, granting the cow is capable of giving 40 pounds of milk a day? It looks to me as if we pay $50 for an Ayrshire’s dairy qualities, and $100 for her Ayrshire their stock may meet with prejudice at our fairs, and their prizes may be less than they deserve, they can do the Ayr- shire interest no better service than to send to the States a representative herd, even if the Ayrshire men have to P11“ ihel‘l‘ hands in their Dockets tn mnlrn "I“ l". 8.

Dhaka- a new plant of the same variety, which at the end of the growing season can be detached from the parent plant by cut- ting the branch 011’ back of the layered portion. It is better to allow such layer- ed plants, it hardy. to remain until the following spring before removing them, but it can be done in late autumn and is a necessity in case of layering half hardy plants that have been plunged or planted out for the summer only. If pot plants are wanted from lavered stock, instead oi placing the layered branch in a soil trench, sink a six-inch pot, at the point layered, in the soil to the rim, well drained and filled with any light garden soil, place the layered portion in the soil in the pot. cover as before, pinning it firmly so it cannot move, The roots from theilayer in this case will be emitted into the soil in the pot and by autumn can be detached as before from the parent plant already growing in a pot. which can be removed when desired. This is the easiest method of summer propagation for nearly all classes of hard wooded plants for those who only wish a few plants. Soft wooded plants, such as gera- niums, that are growing in open ground, are best propagated by air layering in summer. This is done by cutting at a convenient place in the new growth, halfway [through the wood. Treated in this manner, in from ten to fifteen days the cut portion will be well calloused, when the cutting can be detached and potted. and if kept in a cool. shady posi- tion, well watered, will be very certain to form roots and make a good plant. Layering of‘hard wooded hardy shrubs can be done at any time or the year When no frost obstructs. but the best success is in summer months with well matured new wood, although with some varieties of plants the old wood will strike fairly well. yet it is more uncer- tain than the new woodâ€"H.

All such 1 w growing shrubs as roses, weigelias an nearly all low growing, hard wooded plants, as well as vines, that are brought in contact with the soil can be easin and surely propa- gated Dy layering. which operation, I will briefly describe. Choose well matured wood of ,this season's growth, bend it down, and at the point where it will most easily touch the soil with a sharp knife cut half way through the branch on the under side, although any other position will answer for the cut; then draw the ‘knife up the branch an inch or two', splitting the wood for that dis- tance; next insert in the split a thin piece of wood to prex out its closing; then excavate the soil directly where the cut portion touches the soil a shallow trench two or three inches deep. lay the cut portion in the trench, pin it down firmly with a forked wooden peg or wire loop, cover with geil, pressing it firmly. loav- ing a good portion of the end or the lay- ered branch in the air; cut a thick sod and place it upside down over the soil on the out portion to keep it moist, and in very dry weather Water it.

I may repeat, also, in closing, that if the Canadian breeders of Ayrshires will breed up to the highest standard in type, they will produce a dairy cow that is superior to the Scotch animal, because of her better dairy quali- ties. And when they shall have overcome the general criticism of short teats they will have produced an all-round dairy cow that has no equal in the world, either in beauty, style, grace or utility.

I repeat that if the Canadian breeders will make an effort in this direction 'now, I think it will be a. good investment. Let me admonish them, whatever they do, to breed to the highest standard.
