Tt is the unanimous opinion of suc- cessful up-to-date farmers that the Family Herald and Weekly Star, of Moutreal, is of more practical benefit to them than any purely agricultura journal. In addition to its splendid agricultural section it is also a weekly newspaper and magazine that no amily can well afford to be without. At the small price of one dollar a year it is the marvel of the newspaper world. Any person wanting the best Pi dollar's worth they ever,.got..should give the Family Herald and-weekly Ster 2 trial for 1908. The enormous demand for it at this season' of the year makes it necessary to remit early to ensure getting the paper promptly. Boyd Must Hang.

Engineer George L. Griffith has 'had. survey parties employed for some months in surveying the drain- 'age area of the old Stewart drain and ithe Boyle drain, including the north 'and south branches of the Maitland 'river in the township of Elma, Perth County, and township of Grey, Hur- /on County. The Stewart drain about 'eighteen miles in length carries. off \the flood waters from the townships Ke Wallace, Maryborough, the town of Listowel and the northern part of ithe townships of Mornington and | Elma. It will imelude cleaning out ;about seven miles of the north branch of the Maitland river and will cost in round figures about $30,000. Plans and specifications were pre- pared for part of this work in 1900 by Engineer Roger at the initative of the township of Elma, but the township of Wallace entered a law suit appealing against the assessment and after a hard fought battle in the Supreme Court, Elma lost the cuse, consequently the* scheme as then projected fell through. In the fall of 2906 a petition was signed by a large number of those in- terested in the draining of the terri- | } | Elma Council. They then instructed Mr. Griffith to make surveys and prepare plans, profiles and specifica- tions and assessments. This has been done very Carefully and the re- port of the engmeer provisionally ad- opted by the Bima Council. This drain which takes in much larger territory than the original Stewart drain scheme of 1900, will be known as the Burnett drain, and is an extensive affair, as it includes four townships, Wallace, Mary- borough, Elma and Grey, the 'town of Listowel and the villages of At- i Trowbridge and Henfryn. A special meeting of the Elma 'shonla | Counc! was. held |, Raturday, the 426th day of , at Atwood, to read and provisionally "adopt the re- large drainage scheme. This is known as. the Boylédrain. Engineers Van Buskirk, of Sttatford, and Roger, of Mitchell, prepared plans and re- ports on the original Boyle drain in 1898 or thereabouts, and the work was carried out as then projected, The present scheme however, is on a much larger and more comprehensive scale Joke in @ large portion of six 1e southern part of Stireinetern, Elma and Grey and the northern part of Ellice, Logan and McKillop, including the villages of Milverton and Monkton. This scheme also provides for cleaning out some six miles of the southern branch of the Maitland river. The Boyle drain is about fifteen miles in length. It is intended that the river work especially will be done with the aid of steam dredges and as both the Burneit and Boyle drains are a very large size it is probable that dredges will be used as much as possible for that work also. "Lt is proposed to go on with the whole of the work as soon as possible, and a deputation will interview the provincial Gcvern- ment to get assistance under what is known as the " Municipal Drainage id Act."" This Act enables tbe Government to provide one-third of the cost for cleaning out, deepening and improving rivers for the purpose of better draining farm lands. Taking the Boyle and Burnett drain schemes together, they form one of the largest schemes ever de- cided in the province of Ontario for drainage purposes taking in as they do about one-half of the County of Perth and part of the County of Huron A tickling ong, from any cause, quickly stop by Dr. Shoop's Cough Cure.
