-_ K 53.95.: V" RETURNED FROM OLD COUNTRY Mr. Charles Cotton, who returned recently {rem a trip to the Old Counâ€" try, says:â€" “We left Liverpool on Friday af- ternoon about 3 o'clock and sailed down the River Mersey and dropped the pilot at the bar. Arrived at Greenock, on Clyde, Scotland. on Saturday morning, picked up pas- sengers and mails. sailed on Satur- day afternoon. We got a glimpse of Scottish coast. also saw coast north of Ireland. When we-got clear of Ireland the sea began to get rough, and lots of passengers seasick. After a couple of days the sea calmed down and various games were play- ed on deck; also we had concerts on several evenings, which were en- joyed. We sailed for two or three days without sighting any vessels. We saw schools of porpoises and several whales. Next we sighted Newfoundland and Labrador coasts. where we saw several icebergs. We took on mail and pilot. at Father Point, passed Anticosti Island in the night, then steamed into the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Here we had brilliant sunshine; previously we .had a lot of fog, some snow, and very cold weather. It was interesting to see the rocky Gaspe coast. We arrived at Quebec on Sunday morning about 3 o‘clock and left there about '10 o'clock. seeing the Citadel. the Heights of Abraham and the. pic- turesque buildings of the city. We next passed under the famous bridge which spans the St. Lawrence. and experienced the optical illusion in passing under. our masts appearing to be too tall to go under. and we alnmst expected it.) see them strike the bridge. After this we centinued our journey up river and saw the beautiful autumn tints of the trees which. line the banks. also the quaint linuses on either side. The next town of any size to come inm ‘i'iew was Three Rivers, where we saw the electric power wires which cross the river here. Continuing our ruurse ul‘ river. we continued to see the beautiful enuntl‘y and vari- Celored houses. which made a pretty picture. until tinally we arrived at Montreal on Sunday evening.

Mr. Kenny was born in Normanhy sixty-nine years ago. \When he was nineteen years of age he moved with. his father and mother to the farm in Glenelg, where he remained until seven years ago, when he moved, with his family to what is known as the 'l'wamley farm. In 1881 he was happily married to Miss Kate Bynan. The union was blessed with seven children. one child dying in infancy and Mary E. seven years ago. He was devoted to his family, a genial friend and kind neighbor, willing to do acts of kindness and charity, and in losâ€" ing him we lose one of our most highly esteemed citizens.

" Glenroadin. “If he By a Dominion Act that came into eifcct April 1, it is required that each bale of hay or straw must bear a tag stating the weight of’the bale with the name and address of the baler. If this is not done, 7a fine of $5.00 per bale may be imposed upon each bale not labelled. It would be. the better part. of wisdom to let evâ€" ery farmer know about this Act. ' The same Act also states that any person who puts-any foreign matter into any bale intended for sale which increases its weight or pre- judicial‘ly affects the quality of the bale shall. on summary conviction, be liable to a fine of $40.00 for the first offence. In regard to straw the same Act holds good except that the fine is only $20.00 in place of $40.00. By a Provincial Act passed at». the last session of the Ontario Parlia- ment provision was made for the es- tablishing of Fruit Warehouses for packing and grading fruit. This was specially intended for the fruit dist- rict and fruit growers of the Geor- gian Bay belt are therefore entitled to the same. The following are the requirements : The Provincial Gov- ernment will pay 25 per cent. of the cost of establishing co-operative. warehouses provided that percentâ€" age is less than $1,500.00, which is the maximum grant. To obtain this grant there must be at least ten mmnlwrs and 104') acres of fruit.

In the past an endeavor has been made by bringing officers of the Niagara Peninsula Growers t0 Grey County fruit districts to acquaint the farmers with their methods, to show us the advantages and to per- suade us to att’iliate with them.
