The neighbors from another conces- sion made daily trips to feed the stock of the stricken villagers and assisted in other ways.

William Elder, of the 10th conces- sion, Eldersle, is going around these days with the thumb of his left hand in a bandage as the result of coming into contact with the chewing appar~ atus of a pig. William selected one of his finest porkers, and wth visions of tasty pork chops and roasts in his mind, prepared to deliver Mr. Pig the final knife thrust which would cause his rapid demise but the ani- mal, evidently sensing that danger was in the offing, reached out and snapped at the farmer inflicting a painful in- living for two and a half years in Gait after which they moved to Mount Forest, where they have since resided. On May 16, 1925, they celebrated the diamond anniversary of their wedding. Mr. Gow was presented by the Ma- sonic Grand Lodge of Canada with a handsome medal for being fifty years a Past Master, and very recently the Mount Forest Lodge gave him a medal as Past Master. Over ninety years old he very rarely missed a meeting of the Lodge and attended Westminster United Church regularly until the very last. He was able to sing a good Scotch song, and enjoyed his walk down town each day, and is the first break in the family circle. Bitten By 2. Pig On January 1, 1929, Walter Gow, an aged resident of Mount Forest passed away at his home in that town after only two days’ illness, in his ninety- four year. ' He was born at Kilbarton, Renfrew- shire, Scotland, and came to Canada when quite young, locating in Guelph. On May 16, 1865, at Berlin, now Kit- chener, he married Miss Mary Stewart, Aged Mount Forest Resident Passes cian Reid and his father, James E.

Substantial progress has been made in building main trunk motor roads through the provinces, 'while material aids are being given in the working of mineral properties by assist- ing in the construction of branch roads to them.

The Chamber has on exhibition an in- teresting collection of the great variety of minerals mined in the province. There is also co-oper- ation with the various 'prospect- ors’ associations of British Col- umbia. Many towns of the province have branch chambers of mines and the classes in mineralogy and geology as well as the min- ing lectures have been largely attended. It is of interest to learn that there are a few women prospectors attending these lectures as will be_ seen from the picture.‘ Research work, too. with regard to mineral deposits is carried on continu- 01131” by the development branch of the Canadim Pacific Railway. A Shooting Fatality An unfortunate shooting affair, re- sulting in the death of a young" man named Langford Nodwell, took place on the farm occupied by his mother, Sarah Nodwell, in Saugeen township, about two miles south west of Port Elgin. The young man, who was 23 years of age and single, had been in the west the past two years, and re- But it is safer for a celluloid pup to swim through the lake of brimstone in Satan’s sweat shop than to expose a case of whiskey in Teeswater and try to get by. The aged couple from Wingham found this out and the police are now working on the case. But trying to pick evidence out of a Teeswater man is as discouraging as a mosquito trying to suck blood out of a graven image. Every Teeswaterite, it seems, votes dry, and to quiz them on the liquor question is to step on their pet corn. They do good by stealth over there and that is why the case of “Old Irish” can’t be found. We would like to think some “Carrie Nation” had dumped the cargo into the river, but we fear that somebody’s darling knows more about that booze over there than the authorities will ever discover. As they never let their right hand know what their left hand does, it is hard for the police to get nextâ€"Walkerton Herald-Times. When the vendor, Charles Huck, heard the request for a case of Old Irish whiskey at $39, he was about to put a smaller limit on the Wingham- ite, but when the latter showed him his former permit, which only' con- tained the one item, Charlie decided to let .the cargo pass, and sold him an- other permit to enscribe the purchase thereon. twelve months.

This is in- dicated, we are told by Science Ser- vice’s “Daily News Bulletin” (Wash- ington), by the results of the U. 8. Coast Guard’s expedition to the waters between Labrador and Greenland, which recently returned after an ab- sence of over two months. By mea- surement of ocean temperatures in layer of water 300 feet thick, covering 100,000 square miles, is five degrees warmer than normally. “Such an ad- ditional heat reservoir of tremendous proportions is bound to have far- reaching climatic effects,” pointed out Commander Edward H. Smith, who commanded the expedition. Other important conclusions were as follows: “The bottom water in the trough between Greenland and Labrador has a temperature of 37 degrees Fahren- heit and a saltiness of 3.49 per cent. ‘The observations showed,’ said Com- mander Smith, ‘that this water was not produced on the surface or by meltimz ice. as suggested in theories melting ice, as suggested in theones of Nansen and Petersson, but indica- tions point to a. slow bottom-creep from the Antarctic as the source of In other land which must be left unbroken, the problem is more diffi- cult. Mowing with the scythe, or with machine if possible is necessary to prevent seeding; to kill or weaken the plants would require repeated cutting. Sometimes considerable can be done by hand-pulling, which removes more or less of the underground parts. The young growth which comes again after either cutting or pulling, it is claimed, will be eaten off to some extent by sheep if other pasture is not too good. In a scattered stand, or when some- what reduced by the above measures, individual roots may be killed by a handful of salt in dry weather. Pro- bably the amount of salt necessary as a general appliction would be such as to injure the soil, but experimental work on this and other points seems to be lacking. Hardhack is oftenest seen in rough and swampy land, but chiefly no doubt because better land adjoining is bro- ken up occasionally, if not regularly. A crop rotation with regular ploughing and cultivation, preceded by a summer of fallowing, if necessary to get the land into arable condition, will keep if from being a weed. (Experimental Farms Note) Hardback (Spiraea tomentosa, L.) , which occurs commonly from” the Maritime Provinces to Ontario (per- haps sparingly in Manitoba, and also sparingly in Prince Edward Is- land), is one of our native shrubs which is only of importance as a weed when it invades pastures. In undisturbed pasture land it spreads rapidly, and by reason of its size oc- cupies a good deal of space. It has been reported to the Division of Bot- any of the Dominion Experimental Farms as troublesome quite a number of times during the past few years, one correspondent, probably from conviction, calling it "heart-ache” in- stead of hardback. ’when he fired the shot he was un- aware of what he was doing: Dr. Wells, 01 Port Elgn, Was sum- moned to the scene, but .01.; course cOuld do nothing, _ as the young man had been dead Some time.
