WILL GEORGE INGLE EULLEEE MINDEN’S GRIEVANCEâ€"CARELESS EX- HIBlTORSâ€"THE SALE DAY CHANGED ’ â€" AN UNEXPBCTED BIDDER â€" A LITTLE RXPPLE Ber-ause some of the buyers were judges at the Central Fair and were in town on Friday for that purpose, the Cheese Board was held on that day. Salesmen wore a timorous 1001:} as though the memory of the last sale had not wholly vanished from their minds. Buyers \Vhitton, Fitzgerald and Moore were in their places and on tqeir placid features eat no sign of what was going to become of the anxious vendors when the bidding: should begin. But a. dark horse was in the stretch and before the sale was over both the prices and one of the old-time buyers were up in the air. Nearly half the goods went at 11:1; and the rest at 11 9-16. - Buyer Fitzgeraldâ€"I would call the atten- tion of makers and salesmen to a cheese that I bought; here last Lime. In had been gnawed by a cat and I was charged with a. cent and a half per pound on it. Too much care cannot; be taken to send us only per- fectly sound cheese. I may say that; I saw the maker to-day and$he paid me the charge. Buyer \Vhittonâ€"The same thing hap- pened in my own factory lately.so it shows how much care ought to he taken to avoid sending disfigured cheese. Pres. Robertsonâ€"Makers ought to be fair and honest in all their shipments. Buyer Whittonâ€"VVith regard to Minden I believe if they had said they were Willing to have their cheese inspected in Lindsay they would have been able to sell here. If we do away with instructors the cheese business will go to pieces in three years. It was wrong of Minden to reject him. Cheese Sold at II 3-4 Cents on Salesman Mortimer oi Minden explained why his :factory was not offering any cheese. Hedid not consider they had been fairly used last year and as aresult had this year arranged with Mr. Flavelle to handle them. That gentleman had placed them on the market since, but as he was not present they could not be offered that day. The Minden factory had refused to let the instructor examine its cheese and would not be responsible for any of his Day. No poor cheese had ever been made there and no instructor was needed. AI THE TOP NOTCH AGAIN hibitors brand- ed their boxes but did not take the precau- tion to see that their exhibits were ticketed. But for Mr. Shine and me they would not have been judged and some of them were prize-winners. We took the branded boxes off and put tickets on so that the judges did not know whose goods they were judging. A-_ "A“ Pres. Robertsonâ€"The buyers should pay attention to Mr. Mortimer’s complaint. It would be better though for all to stick together and employ the instructor. If Mr. Flavelle is boarding the Minden cheese they should look to him for the fees. UbusA “wan-v"- Buyer Whittonâ€"I may say that one large cheese was the best showed but was not. colored properly. It was neither one thins: nor thefiother.

The question of making Friday the sale day permanently was discussed. , ___‘.1 n.‘:.‘ ma ”+9131- Buyer Whitton - Taylor Perkinâ€"Except the 1331; sane uh]. (Laughter). Buyer Whittonâ€"Yes, and last day too. You will see that Napanee put '2; less than you, Kingston the same, Brockville got 10%, but that was less than you when the freight is considered; Madoc got 102, so 6 id Tweed; Ingersoll sold at 103. So you were well used. It looked hard of courseâ€" A salesmanâ€"It felt hard too. (Laughter), Friday was fixed upon as sale day in future, and the next sale will be on the 6th of October.

Whitton and Fitzgerald baulked at 9-16, and ,while the latter exhorted the remaining salesmen to part with their goods the former cleared the blackboard at that figure. When the street was reached the visiting buyers were in much the same mood as were the salesmen after the sale of two weeks before. They are even now.

The pI'OPOSi- tion is to form a combine taking in the five mills of the Penman Company. the Moody mills, Hamilton, a mlll at Paris, one at Almonte, and then Kingston. The capitalization would run up into a million dollars. It is understood the scheme owes its origin to the Peaman Company . â€"Game Warden Tinsley has in his possession a couple of the very finest guns that were ever seen. One is en- cirely new and the owner says that he only shot with itaconple of times. In was the property of a prominent physi- clan in Buffalo, who Wilh three others came to hunt in the Canadian wildsrness without licenses. They were arrested a couple of weeks ago Sunday at Kosh- namogabog lake and on Tuesday were fined and the rifles confiscated. -â€"-On Thursday of last week a stranger giving his name as 0. Reid, horse buyer. of Ciaremont. Pickering township, pre- sented a cheque at the Daminion Bank, corner of YOuga and King-BIL, Toronto. The cheque was for $971, and bore the name of C. J. IMcNab, Claremont. The cashier, as is the custom, told the stranger that he would be unable to cash it unless he had some me to identify him as being Mr. Reid. The stranger replied that that was unnecessary, and said that Mc- Na‘a said the last time he was in the bank he left his bank book there. A search was made and the bank book found. The fact of the stranger stating this fact was taken as sufficient evidence as to his indentity and the whole amount, (which corresponded exactly with the amount to the credit of Mr. McNab in the book) was paid over. When notice was sent to McNab he repudiated it, and the bank officials wired him. He went to Toronto the following day to look into the matter. He denies having divulged the fact that he left his bank book there to anyone, even his father. There is no such person as Mr. C. Reid known about Ciaremont, nor does the description of the forger correspond with anyone there- abouts. =MoWhlrrsll, in the Kingston pen- itentary for life for the murder of Mr. and Mrs. Williams. a. couple near Cooks- ville. died in the hospital Friday.

He car 'ied or. to such extent that a cm and of 300 people gathered before a pol'ceman could be seen. He started by putting hia wife out into the street. The woman tried to get back into the house again, and was pre- vented by the husband. While Mrs. M c- Guire was on her way to find an cfiicer she was struck with a bric‘,< and witnesses ‘ say McGuire threw the missile. any rate, one man who saw his cowardly ‘ action felled him to the ground witha blow. Fearing violence at the hands of the crowd, McGuire then beat a hasty retreat by taking refuge in his house. At this time the police arrived, and McGuire defied them by smashing everything of value in the house. He took‘an axe, and broke in the stove top with one blow. Next he chopped upa new organ into about 20 pieces, and finished his work with the pictures and making large cuts in the wall. He then went to the win- dow and dared the ten policemen to enter his house. He was leaning out over the window sill, and suddenly the crowd was surprised to see him. topple over and roll on the sidewalk. The officers quickly seized him, and he was placed under arrest. While McGuire ‘was being taken to the patrol box it is said Thomas Long of Brmdview avenue interfered in McGuire’s behalf, and he was also taken into custody. They are both charged with being drunk. 0V likely to rise up and grow. In countries where there is a. great deal of snow the people wear Wide snowshoes to keep them from sinking into the snow. The same principle may be applied to wagon tires. The wider they are the less they will sink. 0! course, tires must not be too wide. It they are they are liable to be heavy and clumsy. From four to six inches is wide enough for general purposes. .I 1-, “1:5- So, summing up, we have this: Wide tires are better than narrow ones because they keep the roads in better condition, do not; cut up the fields so much, are not so liable to kill out; a crop, run just; as easy on smooth roads and ~a great deal easier on bad ground. â€"â€" Pierre Van chk'le, in Faryor’s Advocata. ' THE'WATCHMAN-WARDER: LINDSAY, om; News of the Week BROAD TI'RES BEST. Each Day’s Growth of a. Weed Amen: Hoed Crops Lessens the Yield. It would be difficult for most farm- ers- to calculate how great is the loss from the prevalence of weeds in crops. In a season when dry weather prevails these losses are comparatively small, though even then the weeds take wa- ter from the soil, which is notw all re- turned when they are uprooted and buried in it. The weed that is buried is surrounded by air spaces, keeping the soil more porous than it otherwise would be, and therefore drying it out faster. The case is still worse as re- gards the fertility that the weed has taken. It was originally entirely solu- ble, but the weed has to ferment and be resolved into vegetable mold before it can be put in the same soluble con- dition. Yet, says American Cultivator, we have known farmers to delay cul- tivation of hoed crops so as to have more grass and weeds to be plowed un- der. It is often said that weeds are a. preventive of good farming; that there would be much less cultivation of hoed crops if it were not that'the growth of weeds made it necessary. Yet where the 'cultivator is kept going all through the season, so often as to prevent any weed from reaching the surface, the weed killed as quickly as it sprouted has done the soil more good and less harm than it could do at any subsequent stage of its growth. At this early period about all the plant substance has been directly furnished from the swelling and decomposition of the seed in germination. At this time the carbonic acid gas which the seed gives off when it germinates makes its plant food more soluble than it ever can be after the plant puts forth roots and begins to draw from the soil. Finely powdered malt has been used as a fertilizer. When it has been applied in contact with seed grain of any kind, it has produced remark- able results, though it is too expensive :1 fertilizer to be used on a very large scale. But the ordinary weed seed is much smaller and has far less fertiliz- ing material in it than has a grain of barley. It is the peculiarity of most weeds that most of their growth is taken directly from the soil, and that both it and the moisture to make the plant food soluble are needed by growing crops. Each day’s growth of a weed among hoed crops iessens the yield. If the weed is left until late, its roots will be so intermingled with those of. valuable crops that one cannot be de- stroyed without uprooting the other. A little care in destroying the weeds while small will save much labor later. besides the inevitable shrinkage of the crop among which the weeds have been allowed to grow. A Farm Convenience. Scandinavian farmers in the north- west have preserved a number of old country devices for buildings and tools, some of which gain fa- vor with friends and neighbors iof those who put them into prac- 'tice. A drawing [of one of these sent to The Ohio cessible both from Without and from the inside of the barn. Whatever arti- cles are commonly placed in the win- dows, on dusty shelves, on crossbeams and in odd corners should find their way into the door box, so that one might always know Where to find things instead of hunting them up and losing one’s time and temper. Fine Cantnloupes. Rural New Yorker tells that Mr. Hale of Georgia of peach orchard fame, has 300 acxes of cantaloupes on his farm, which were planted to help out the shortage caused by. the failure of the peach crop. His New York agents sold one car load of cantaloupes for $5 per crate. The varieties were the Paul Rose, Osage and Netted Gem. This was said bv some to be, without doubt, the finest cm of melons that ever. arrived in New York. Save the Babies.

One of these is Mrs. Peter Jones, Warkworth, Ont., who says : “I can .give Dr. Fowler's Extract of Wild Strawberry great praise, for it saved m baby's life. She was c‘utting her teetz and was taken with diarrhoea very bad. My sister advised me to get Dr. Fowler's Extract of Wild Strawberry. I got a. bottle and it cured the baby almost at once." There is not a mother who loves her infant but should keep on hand dur- ing the hot weather a. bottle of Dr. Fowler's Extract of Wild Straw- berry.
