In 1897 there were 16 creameries in operation- 19 in 1897. and 20 in 1899. The ma} quantity of butter made in 1897 was 473, 903 pounds. last year 484,984 pounds, and this year 501,824 pounds. LThe gross value of the product in 1897 was $85,264. last year 893,740, and this year $105,383.

The bailing is done by a newly invented machine. The hay is put up in bales cylindrical in form. 8 inches high, and of the same diameter. When baled in this shape the hay is as hard as a board. The bales weigh about 145 pounds. When the hay is taken to be fed it is in pancakes or layers, about three-fourths of an inch thick . The most compact bale of hay put up by the old style required about 160 cubic feet space per ton, as compared with 50 cubic feet under the new process. â€"Mre. Thoe.

The forms in ques- tion are furnished by the department to all postmasters for the use of the public. This regulation applies only to parcels 'forwarded under parcel post regulations ; it has no application to parcels of fourth- class matter (generally merchandise) open to inspection, circulating in Canada or addressed to the United States. The object of the department in calling atten- tion to this matter is to prevent the dis- appointment which arises when parcels â€"especially Christmas parcelsâ€"are de- tained for want of compliance with the ‘» formality mentioned. â€"The ice which Thursday morning’s frost formed on the River Don, Toronto, tempted two boys, Douglas Duncan and Walter Smith. one eleven and the other ten years of age. to stay away from school Thursday afternoon. The boys played 1 on the ice, which near the shore was an C inch thick, and. becomim venturesome. 1 they began to slide towards the centre of ‘ the tiVer. This increased the sport, and the last time they ran down the west 1 side of the river and slid out where the . current was running strong under a thin : covering. The ice gave way with a loud report and the two boys shot under the water. A gang of prisoners from the county jail who were working on the Don fists heard the noise. They ran to the spot and laid planks out on the ice. Pat , rick O'Brien, one of the prisoners, climb- ' ed out on these planks and tried to reach 5 the boys with a pike pole. Being unable .' to do this, he plunged into the water and ‘ t secured the body of the boy Smizh. Dre.

Immediately after dinner Peter Baker and Louis Duyea started out with their] V rifles in search of partridae and when they had travelled a couple of miiee from 1the shanty they came upon their game. Both fired at the bird but neither aim was true and the frightened partridge flew away. They endeavored to locate the bird again and while standing on a log looking up into the trees, Mr. Baker 10 some way slipped and his rifle exploded. the bullet entering his right aide slightly above the hip and making its exit near the shoulder. Duvea. who was onlya short distance away from his companion at the time, heard the report and looked around just in time to see him falling to the ground. He ruahed to him but the unfortunate man drew only a few breaths ’ and expired withcut uttering a word. ’ Duyea returned to the shanty and broke 7 the sad news to the employees, among ' whom were the unfortunate man's father, Mr. Joseph Baker, of the French settle- ment, and also one brother.

HUGHES HEARD FROM ON NCV. nthâ€"TALKS OF THE TRIPâ€"THE SOLDIERS WILL HAVE TO'BE DRILL- EDâ€"HOPBS TO GET TO THE FRONT FIRST. Last week a. letter was received from 001. Huahes. He wrote as the ship was nearing: Cape Verde Islands, and his letter was posted on the S S. Oceanic bound for London. Herewith we present a few ex- CI'fl-U Lb . . On S.S. Sardinian, near Cape Verde Islands, NOVEMBER 11th; 1899. The trip thus far has been uneventful since we left Quebec. It was a. fine show there as we left; but in the city there was little or no enthusiasm. The booming cannon, the responsive bombs, the cheers and whistles and handkerchief-waving, were all great and the sight was very pretty, but an hour after our departure the fellows were forgetting it in their “good time.” I really was the proudest man and the happiest in Quebec. My task of fifteen years was accomplished and Canada was taking part in Britain's wars. It would have been better, maybe, had I been in the place chosen for me, i.e., second in com mand. but "Ali's for the best." I will be on the staff of some British general out ‘ there. I am pleased as I am. This force ‘ will not be able to take the field for weeks. while I may get on to the front in a few days after landing, if the war be not over. 1 fear the Dutch may have surrendered and we will have no fun at all. But by December 2nd when we will arrive at Cape Town all will be well known. The boys are a grand lot of fellows, in' telligeut, capable, jolly and some are well drilled; but it is lamentable to think that for one third of the force, the rest will be detained. Some never fired a shot before, scores never drilled a moment. My plan submitted to Borden and Foster was to wire each colonel of battalions to select 10 or 15 (1) good shots, (:2) drilled men, (3) of proper ' size. and send them to the various head- quarters where the weeding out could be further done. Then a force fit to take the field on arrival there, would have been bad. Some good work is being done on board. As it is, as one of the best officers says, “It would be simply murder to put such a force into the field short of a month‘s training." Therefore, I may be in luck after all, and get on to the front in quick shape, ahead of the fellows. so “Ali‘s for the best." Of course I may get “bowled out” and go down, but even so, one must take his chances wherever he may be. We had a three-days storm south of Newfoundland. The boats were washed down. One poor fellow died in delirium. Sixty pounds .of iron in a sack at his feet, a flag at half-mast. a plank, a priest, a few ‘ muttered words, a tip of the plank, a bundle floating as the steamer passed on, the flag run up to masthead and lowered and that was the end of Private Des Lrnries of Ottawa. Yet it was a much in re imposing performance than may pm at many another of the poor beggars vi ° 0 will probably be hauled by the heels tx' he nearest pit and dumped in.

Tomorrow we will reach Cape Verde Islands. but do not step. \\'e may however getletters back so I write you. J. McCrae of ()memee. Jce Matthews, ‘ and Lieut.
