Joe Paterson was one of these. There have been so many disap- pointments this winter owing to storms that people are afraid to an- nounce even a wedding in the usual way. There is one this week we are inclined to think. going under an as- sumed name. The party last Tuesday night at the home of Mr. S. Chapman was a very enjoyable affair, the pastime con- sisting of singing games and dancing the latter being the chief attraction. Excellent music was furnished by a string band, consisting of violins in the hands of Tony Zavetz and Ben Woods and S. T. Orchard with the autoharp. All thoroughlv enjoyed themselves. Your Top CHE young man says he never hears "the Durham Cement whistle now at all. He is possibly sound asleep in bed when it blows in the morning “and back to the house again before six in the evening, and yet he declares almost in the same breath that he is going to advertise for a wife, as though any woman would throw herself away with such a sleepy head. If he would get up in reasonable time in the morning and get a move on he would soon receive lots of leap year proposals the same as other young men do.

Lascelle of Strath- coua had u trying time with liver complaint, but wisely used Ferrozone in time. He says: "My liver gOt sluggish and torpid, and made me feel about half-dead. When I got up in the morning I was as tired as if I hadn’t slept at all. My head ached, and specks swam before my eves in- cessantly. If I bent over or did any stooiiing Work I would be in a perfect whirl in two minutes. I felt depress. ed and out of sorts, and only get re- lief from Ferrozone. It went. right to work, and before long cured me. I feel ever so much improved in health since using Ferrozone. which I strongly recommend for the kidneys and liver.” Mr. Ed. E. Monci'ief of Springfield says: “For years I was subject to frequent attacks of liver complaint, and no remedy ever cured like Ferroo zone. When my head acbed fit to split. and I felt drowsy and sick, Ferrozone relieved quickly. I used Ferrozone two months after being cured. and haven‘t been bothered since.” \Vhen it comes to curing liver and kidney ills you can’t beat Ferrozone. It has a specific action on these organs, and at once puts them in a strong healthy condition. Ferrozone isn’t the kind that just relievesâ€"it cures. and cures thoroughly. Ferro- zone prevents a return of further trouble, and costs only 50c. per box. or six boxes for 82.50. All drug ists or by mail from the Ferrozone gam- pany. Kingston. Out." Get a supply to-day.

As we have been almost snow bound for the last couple of months Feb. 5th, 5w., pd: That the power of Nerviline quick- ly makes itself felt. Any aching tooth can be relieved by nerviline in a few mo xents by filling the cavity With batting soaked with Nerviline. A good plan is to rub the gums with Nerviline also. There is’nt a single remedy that has one fourth the pain- relieving power of Nerviline. which acts like magic. Nerviline kills the pain outright and prevents it from returning. You can’t beat Nerviline for toothache or Neuralgia; it‘s the best pain cure made. Price 25c. The township Fathers had a big day's work on Saturday.

Deliveryof butter to railway Sta- tions. Every precaution should be taken to see that butter is delivered to the stations at such an hour as to make the closest possible connection with the refrigerator cars. An hour exposure to the heat of a warm sum- mer day means positive injury to the butter and shortens its life. It would be better to have all the butter car- ried to the station by contract, so that some man would have a proper equipped wagon, with a cover {or pro- tection against sun and rain. It would be possible to insist on having such a wagon always clean. The manager would lave authority and control over a contractor but he has very little over the independent pat- ron, who takes the load when it suits his convenience. very often in an unsuitable wagon, dumps it down at the station without any consideration except that of getting rid of it as quickly as possible. The cost of hauling the butter to the station should be considered a part of the operating expenses in all creameries. W. A. Cannons. Publication Clerk.

Fourth: \Ve sufler from the lack of a. proper distribution of our fruits in the different markets we are ship- ping to. - Third: We need canning and evaporating factories to take our sur- plus fruit. the ripe and lower grade varieties will nor. ship long dis- tances. varieties that are subject. to the attack of fungus diseases. there- by relieving the markets of these qualities of fruits. and leaving the higher grades and better fruits to sell at increased prices. Second: We suffer, as fruit grow- ers. from the general lack of know- ledge or want of confidence as to the benefits of Spraying. Drawbacks. That the British Co; lumbia. growers labor under disabili- ties similar to those of the 638th”! fruit men is shown by the following list mentioned by President Metcalfe in his opening address First: The lack of co operation on the part. of our growers in shipping, marketing and maintenance of prices, the purchase of packages, paper. spraying materials. and redress of grievances on November 9th. in first-class condi- tion and were sold at an average price of about 63. per box, while Eastern Canada apples were selling in the same place at about $1 per barrel less, figuring three and one half boxes to the barrel. However when the extra freight charges to Montreal were de- ducted. the net returns Were hardly satisfactory. Enquiries are now be- ing received from other firms who saw the British Columbia fruit and learned that it gave first-class satis- faction. so that it is thought. that if more and larger ahipmeuts were sent foreward better prices would be realized. Concessions in the way of freight. rates will evidently have to be obtained. if this‘export trade is to be developed. Markets. At the present time British Columbia fruit practically rules the market as far east as Cal- garv. The markets of the North- t west, though vast and valuable, are very scattered: Winnipeg is the great : wholesale centre. and is of such im-l portance that it enters into the cal-l culations of fruit growers allover the ' continent. consequently the competi- ' tion there is keen. Orders are being' received from Australia, Hawaii. China, Japan, and eflorts were made last fall to get a foothold in Britain. On Oct. 16th last Messrs Stirling and l Pitcairn of Kelowna shipped the firstl carload of British Columbia apples,l consisting of Spies, Baldwins. On- tarios and Canada Reds to the British 1 market. They arrived in Glasgow i Some interesting fects regerdiug the fruit industry in the Prairie Province were brou ht out at the re- ,cent. meeting of the rivish Columhie ’fruit growers' Association. The growing commercial importence of the industry is evidenced by the in- creased shipments by freight end ex- press, as the following figures show; There were carried by the C P R. during 1902. 1469 tons of fruit, while! in 1903, 1987} tons were carried; an increase 0135 per cent. The Domin» ion Express Co. carried in 1897, 70; tons of fruit; in 1901, 378 tons; in 1902. 483 tons: in 1903. over (572 tons. The establishment. of 0. fruit cannery in New We~tminister is assured. ‘ which will employ fortv to fifty hands during the season. This will give growersa market for their surplus fruit.
