This would seem to be its logieal destiny aside from the sections which are admirably adapted for fruut growing. _ However, the county will dou"tless always be a general agricultural one and not one of heavy specialization. Civic Houmpay ror PricBvILLE.â€" Monday, August 3rd, Priceville citizens are holding their 2nd annual big celeâ€" bration and the varied program of atâ€" tractions should draw all from far and near. _ One of the events is an exhibiâ€" tion lacrosse match, Durham vs. Hanoâ€" ver. See bills for full particulars but plan now to spend the holiday in Price. ville. In spite of the fact that sthe West is beginning to supply the big marâ€" kets of the East with stock grown and fattened on the ranges and farms there, there has been a large demand and heavy drain om Grey county to supply animals for breeding purposes. Last fall practicaliy all the available bulls in the county were pisked up for shipment to the West, reports Mr Duff. These were also accompanied by a number of heifers and sheep. ‘ Yorkshires, 231. FTamworths, 64. Berkshires 52. 1t will be seen that there is a good groundâ€"work for stock rais‘ng in Grey county. The land is well adapted to it ; thero is a goodly supply of pure bred stock already owned on the farms, in every class and the farmers understand stock raising. Pure Bred Live Stock 889 Shorthorn Cattle. 845 Shropshire Sheep. 231 Yorkshire Hogs. 146 Clydesdale Horses. This is the number of pure bred anâ€" imals of the leading breeds owned for breeding ~purposes in Gray County, and shows what has been dore in the way ef improving the etock of the county without erganization other than Farmers‘ Institutes and Farmers‘ Clubs, which have had only an educaâ€" tive influene» at best. The figures are not complete, but are accurate so far as they go. ONTARIO ARCHIVES TORONTO In the directory of pure bred amâ€" mals being prejared by the Depart ment, the folicwing intormation is given, as to the number of animal« being kept for breedig purposes in the various breeds of each kind of stock. The figures do noi include sire stock. In sheep, 42 men have taken up breeding with pure bred stock. Of these 15 are Oxfords, 13 Leicesters, and 12 Shropshires, Fortyâ€"six men hbave taken up pure bred swine, the popular breed being Yorkshire, which are bred by 32, Berkslhires are bred by 13, Tamworths by 10 and Hamâ€" burgs by 2. Live steek forms the largest contriâ€" bution to the markets of the Dominâ€" ion from Gray County, and it is nat: ural that some attention should be paid to this branch of work by the County Representative. As it is elseâ€" where mentioned, there is as yet no organization whatever among _ the stock growers of the county, Howâ€" ever, the decks are being cleared for action, and this fall will see the first step toward this end taken, when a Bhorthorn Breeders‘ Association will be organized, if present plana materâ€" ialize, and an aninal sale will be beld as is done by other Breeders‘ Associaâ€" tions. Tha directory of breeders as comâ€" piled to date shows 50 breeders of horses, nearly all of which are Clyde:= dale breedera, and 105 cattle breeders. Of these latter 71 have gone in for Shorthorns as the practical dual pm#« pose animrl, 5 for Holsteing, 5 fer Jer» seys, 15 for Herefords, and 9 for Aberâ€" deen Angus. A censuas of pure bred stock in the county is being made by the county branch of the Department of Agriculâ€" ture, and will be prinmed for distribuâ€" tion among the county breeders, and to the public in geveral, with a view to stimulating purchases as sales of stcck are doing.

In the case where the crop is partly attacked, it will be found adâ€" visable to cut a swath through the grain and take this off before the | trench is dug. The trench is often unsatistactory, especially in clay soil, if it is not properfy made. Iy should be at least 18 incbes deep, in clay soil, with a straight clean side toâ€" ] wards the crop to be protected. Postâ€" holes at least a toot in depth must be 'unk every fifteen teet in the bottom of the trench. In sandy soil the trench works excellently, but in clay ‘ soil it is often advisable as an extra precaution to heap up the loose earth iou tha crop side right along the treneh. The small particles of earth| loosen and cause the climbing worms | to drop. Henee in clay or muck soil] it may be advisable to scrateh ;the face of the wall lightly with a garden rake. Do this also after rain. When| the worms are unable to climb the wall they will pass lengthwise through the trench, and c~llect in the post holes, where they may be killed by crushing or other means. Ia digging the trench ploughs may be used, but the balance of the work should hbe done with spades to inlnro’ a clean deep trench. Sunday School at 10, Bervices at 11 & m. and ‘I.OO p. m. REV. T. H.
