GREY comm BREEDERS’ CLUB T0 now ANOTHER SALE On: the 17th of Mail-ch, 1915, there was held in the village of Mark- dale a sa}e of pure bred beef breeds of cattle; These animals W818 contributed to the sale by the breeders of the county of Grey. This sale was not. the suc- cess that could have been desired but it paved the Wav for sales bigger and better. The breeders had their annual meeting on July 3rd last and de- cided to. have their annual sale for 1916 on the 3rd of March. This is iust two days after the Guelph sale and should catch many of the Western buyers when they come East and do not get what thev want at the Guelph sale. This means that our breeders will have to make it a point to 'get their animals in first-class shape if thev are to command the highest prices for the Western trade. or for any other trade for that matter. All entries for the sale must he in the hands of the Secretary. Thos. H. Binnie, Priceville. Ont. R. R. No. 2. not later than January 1. 1916, so that the animals can be inspected and the poorer animals asked to remain away from the sale, and advice given to the breeder as to how best prepare and ship the animals to the sale in Markdale. With the entries must be sent a money order for $5 per head entered. to cover the ex- penses of the sale. advertising. auctioneer. etc. If the animals entered fail to pass inspection the fee will be returned. This is done so that the officers will not have the same trouble collecting: - the expenses of the sale as thev have had this year. We have the good cattle in Grey county if we will onlv fit them up for sale. Let us all get busy and see if we cannot make the 1916 sale one which will be hard to beat in the years to come.

Jackson. . 8294 3th day of But to resume. According to the pretty tale I remembered, the bitter almond developed in the salubrious climate of Spain and lost its ancient character, ceased to be poisonous and became a peach. With this as a text ‘1 had proposed to show that the peach is the one really good thing in; the world has ever derived from war, but alas, I needed a few more facts and I consulted the Encyclopadia where ll found no mention of my pretty tSpanish tale. I found both Greek and Latin references to the peach and a learned discussion as to whether the :fruit had been first developed to per- fection in Persia or 1n China. The only. reference to the bitter almond was a? note to the effect that Darwi- - regard~ ed the peach as a relation of the al-' mond. It seems that in China they, not only raise peaches of excellent quality but also of unusual shapes. I They have a flat peach in which the .ends of the pit are merely cm ered by 'the skin while the sides have a thick 'layer of fruit pulp They also have another kind which is long and crook- ed and as nearly as I could learn from the dictionary all kinds of peaches are good eating. It is pleasing to know. that even the Encyclopaedia gives Canada the credit for raising the best peaches of all, and now they are at their best. i l Once upon a timeâ€"you see I know' how to begin a stcry in the right way1 â€"â€"a barefoot boy danced by the road- side and shoute gleefully. It was in Canada, back in the nineteenth cenâ€"' tury, in the pioneer days. The little boy was healthy and freckled andi what he Iac‘r :ed in clothes he made up in the kind of body one would have ins1de of clothes. And he “as very,‘ veiy happy. In fact he 11 as so happy the t a passing friend stOpped to ask him the muse of it all. i V :THE PREACHER’S FRUIT “Hurray!” shouted he of the freckles. “Why so happy?” asked the friend. “The. preacher is coming to dinner!" “I ain't, but whenever the preacher (comes to dinner we always have peach preserves.” 1t reany is not much of a. story and I am giving it on account of its arch- e-o-log-i-cal interest and not because it is so very funny. It dates back to the days when people merely knew that peaches are the best of fruits and laad not discovered that Canada is the best place to raise the very ‘gcst of: them. The woman who was fortunateenough to get some from a sheltered orchard or from a lone tree .iiat was so fortunately situated that it escaped the frost put up a few to have for such special occasions as“ the visit of the preacher. In those? days the minister was a much morel welcome visitor on the farm than the' agent of. get-rich-quick concerns and! mining promoters and there is a: moral to that it’ I only had time to . work it out. Because peaches were saved for such extra special occasions a tradition has grown up about them in many parts of the country. Some housewives. otherwise very bright, and a credit to the Farmer’s Institutes ' to which they belong, consider it an‘ extravagance to preserve peaches un-j less they get them at sacrifice prices. Yet these same women will pay from ten to fifteen cents a quart for cur- rants and berries that need far more JMLAUU vagnu ~vâ€"â€"_â€".. sugar to do them up than the already; sweet peaches. As peaches usually! come in eleven-quart baskets you will find if you divide the price by eleven ' that peaches cost less per quart than any other fruit. But because they. were once so great a luxury house-i wives are slow to realize that they should have more of them than of any , kind of fruit, for they arc both the; cheapest and the best. There is no reason why every farmer’s wife in the districts where peaches cannot be grown should not buy them as freely . as they do other fruits and have them 'not only when the preacher comes to dinner but when the boys and girls come home from .he city and at all other times when they want to have something luxurious on the table. 1 Nvmv VVVVVV C, â€" _ Also it should be remembered that for eating from the hand the peach is the best fruit of all, but you should use for this purpose only the peaches that you buy in the full light of day. Once upon a time, or perhaps I should say “Once upon another time,” -__A_ Olivunu saw-I v..- - a newly arrived Irishman went out with a friend to steal peaches. It was dark and Pat had been told to grope along the branches for the fruit. Presently he whispered, “Moike!” His friend answered “Phwat!” “Has paiches got legs?” “Naw.” “Then begobs I’ve swallowed a straddle hug.” The era of submarine warfare be gan in February, 1864, when the United States sloop Housatonic was sunk by an undes-water craft, by means of a torpedo at the end of a war nroiectinz from it. didnt know you were so fond of (By Peter McArthur) ’Creemore school, and causred a Hot of trouble.

What with fault-finding from! among the ratepayers and dissenâ€" sions «among themselves, the! school trustees of Creemore haVe‘ indeed had troublous times for the past year or two. One of the trou- bles they have been up against has been that of collecting fees fur continuation school pupils. Some. parents have paid promptly, and others have declared they would not pay while the school was run as it has been for the past year. In order to settle the matter final- ly the board placed the accounts of several ratepayers who have not paid up, in court for collec- tion. At the last division court sit- ting in New Lowell the matter (name before His Honor Judge \Vis- mer. and after giving the case a very careful consideration last week, handed down his iudgment. which was that the pupils must pay.
