CHURCHILL--0n Thursday, Oct. 13, Mrs. Mary Ooulter, almost the last of the oldest settlers in the Township of f Innisl, died at her residence here, after i an illness of some time. Her husband died in 1880, since which time she has lived with her son, Mr. James Coulter, ot this place, for a time, until a few years ago when she again. went to re- side on the old homestead where she peacefully passed away. Mrs. Coulter came to Churchill over 60 years ago from the Township of Markham. Her remains were interred in the Presby- terian burying ground north of Churchill on Saturday last. Mrs. Coulter was the mother of eleven children, six of whom still survive her.-Advocate. 1 AI L1s'.roN-After a long illness, Mrs, Betsy Johnson, wife of Mr. John H. Johnson, succumbed to a complication of diseases at her residence on Elizabeth street on Friday evening. The de- ceased was a lady of many estimable qualities. She was married 45 years ago in Boston church, Linoolnshire, England, and came to Canada. about 28 years ago with her husband, settling at Barrie. Eighteen years ago the family removed to Alliston. Her has band, ve sons and ve daughters sur- vive her. Although but 66 years of age at the time of her death, the late Mrs. Johnson was a great grandmother. It is also remarkable that she and her husband were born in the same week, on the same street, and were baptised in the church in which they were after- wards married.-Herald. s Eentleman of authorita_tive:ajnd,some-' PENETANGUISHENE - On Monday 1 morning, 17th inst., a very estimable ; lady, in the person of Mrs. A.

Agricultural News and Comments. A writer states that a horse well `prepared for the sale ring is halt sold. This is more true to-day than ever be- fore. Several years ago this was not so much the case and horses, particu- larly? trotting-bred horses, would sell quite well regardless of the condition they were in. Now, however, no horse 'will bring as goodprioe when led` into the sale ring unless he shows good care and good manners. It is a common practice to use a curry comb on a horse but how seldom are such things used on a. cow. The keeping of a. cow clean is just as essen- , - --..- -1-..- I 2 tial as the keeping of a horse clean. Garding or carrying a `cow helps to keep her clean and prevents hair or dirt, which if left ivonld get into the milk. It helps to maintain a condition of good health and in winter time is VIVL _..- vn `vow: ---.._-_ no bad substitute for exercise- Those who desire to progress "in dsirying should not forget the large part which thorough and regular cleaning of the cows has in up-to-date dairy work. For some time therehas been a bit- ter feeling between the cattle _ and sheep men on the ranges in the West- ern States. Cattle men claim that the sheep poison the grass and the cattle will not eat it, or they bite so close that it is useless to graze cattle where sheep have been. The sheep-men have offered to divide the ranges with the cattle-men, but the latter seem to want the former to get out altogether. Re- cently this feeling has been intensied by the death of a sheep man in Ne- braska in a ght between the two ele- ments. The sheep men are now organ- izing to avenge his death, and it is hard to say what the outcome will be. __ I The wdrkers in a bee-hive are all females, in whom the sex organs are present put undeveloped. The devel- opment of the sex organs depends upon the food supplied to the young bee when in the larval stage. By feeding" certain foods the. bees can pro- duce a developed female or a queen bee,,aud this queen bee, when impreg- nated, will produce eggs that will hatch out either as workers or as drones. If a queen- bee. has not been impregnated she can produce fertile eggs, but they ;v-ill all hatch out males: ` y_Impregua- nion is, therefore absolutely necessary to the production of females. Thus it would appear that there may be some truth in ` the old belief that males take chiey from their mothers and females `from their fathers. The Worrying of Sheep by Dogs. -In a recent issue of The Osnadisn lstatesmau a. correspondent discusses 1n 'I\ a practical way this subject. Refer- ing to his own township, he points out that the amount paid out in sheep `damages each year by the treasurer is but a `fraction of the total loss of the municipality through this evil. In proof? of this he states that a number of farmers--have gone out of the sheep business altogether owing to the danger from dogs; that the council onlyallows two-thirds of the value ;.'that often a . number of sheep are bitten, but not _ serious lenough-to claim damages`; that `when only one is killed the farmer will not, go.
