The late John Bur- roughs, in the story of his boyhood in Harper’s Magazine gives an inter- esting account of butter making on the farm that his father owned in the Catskill Mountains. The old-time dairy farm was a pic- turesque place, especially when butter “At eight o’clock in the morning inl summer,” he says, “the old sheep or‘ the old dog was brought in and tiedl in the big treadmill of the churning; machine. Sheep were usually more? unwilling churners than dogs; they rarely acquired any sense of duty or of obedience as a dog did. The end- less walking and arriving nowhere soon made them protest vigorously. Sometimes a sheep would pull back, brace himself and choke, thereby stopping the machine; and once a sheep threw himself off the treadmill and choked to death before he was discovered. I remember when the old hatchel from the day of flax dressing did duty behind the old churner and spurred him on with score or more of sharp teeth whenever he settled back to step the machine. “The churn dog was less obdurate and perverse than the sheep, but he would sometimes hide away as the hour of churning approached, and we. would have to hustle around to find him. But we had one dog that seemed to like the task and would go quickly to the wheel and finish his work with- out being tied. A few times when neith- er dog nor sheep was available I have taken their place on the treadmill. In winter and in early spring there was less cream to churn than at other times, and we did it by hand; two of us would lift the dasher together. The work was hard even for big boys. "I never grew tired of seeing mother lift the great masses of golden butter from the churn with her ladle and pile them up in the big butter bowl, with the drops of buttermilk standing upon them as if they were sweating from the ordeal they had been through Then when the butter had been work- ed and washed to free it from the milk and at last was packed into tub or firkin, what a picture it was! How much of the virtue of the farm went each year into those firkins! Literally the cream of the land. Ah, the al- chemy of life \that by means of the D“"‘“J V‘ ---V '--"V bee can change one product of those wild, rough fields into honey, and by. means of the cow can change another into milk. Two local rinks attended the mas- querade twilight bowling tournament in Walkerton Monday evening of this week, both rinks taking home prizes. A rink composed of Mr. and Mrs. T.

Mayor Craig, of Barrie opened the discussion, which at times became quite animated, by making some inquiries re- specting the “thirteenth” power bills caustlcally remarking. “They say Hy- dro belongs 'to the municipalities, but it looks to me as if it is ‘Willie’s calf and father’s cow.” He also referred to the heavy charges for summer cottages the power being taken from rural lines and the steady advance of rates in gen- eral. He also emphasized that in other lines of business, it is the practice to use surpluses when emergencies arise. In the case of hydro, the course is raise the rates. Mr. Stapleton stated that in 1913 Collingwood was told that, with 700 h.p. used the rate would go down. Today, with 1500 hp. used the rate is $40. Why? he asked.
