Beatty died in the hospital of this city this morning at 1 o’clock from the effects hands, justiweiity-lbur hours after re- ’ ceiving injuries in tho‘fire at the Arrow .H‘ead- Lumber Co’s boarding house." It is mentioned, _ incidentally, that “ Robert Tilggart was burned to death after saving the life of one ,of the em- ployees and tryingto save another man." owning: Ior mfewfdays (orhourflthe afterwards celebrated trotting horsc any man of'llm slightest sportingpro- clivities would. naturally...fccl'proud. “ Bob " loft here several years ago, and as-ho waslntoly heard from out Brit ish lolumbia way, he was probably the man we now read cl. But whether he uwere or not makes no difference. The man who lost his life while. trying to save the life of another was undoubted ly some “horny handed son of toil,” - and the barepannouuccmcut of liis‘dcat'li (notwithstanding the circumstances no? dui‘ which it happened) was all that was, thought necessary. But Mr.’ Beatty ' Was a much more important pcrson.,._pol- itically and financially speakingpaud receives a much more extended obituary notice. He had represented Parry Legislature, and was “widely known in lumbering circles by his varied in- terests, being engaged alternately in On- tario, Nova Sociia andfiritish Colum» bia;” andâ€"which incur opinion is greatly more to his creditâ€"-was large- lica'rted, sympathetic and‘ generous. Now, we have nothing to say against thesimplicd eulogy of Mr. Boatty, but we think poor Bob ought to have had more than three out of the forty-eight line's in the despatch from Revelstokc. True, he wasn’t an ~ex-M: L: A':, and hadn’t “varied interests ” anywhere, whichlatter was the cause of his being so summarily treated; but he saved one man's life and perished in the attempt ‘ to save anothcr’s, and we think he do- served a few words of approval. ‘It is not what a man has, but what he is. that he is judged by, and the last act of Taggart'u life showed that he was cap- able: of something far more heroic than getting elected to Parliament or acquir- ing 5‘ varied interests." Scripture says : “ Do good note thyself and men will speak well of thee,” and no truer words were ever written. Mr. Beatty did good unto himself; Robert Taggartâ€" partly from want of ability and partly from the want of favoring circumstances â€"-was not able to do so. and the fact that ho was able and willing to do good unto others doesn’t seem to count. W. _ A Interesting Cow census. ....__.. At the Eastern Ontario Dairymeu’s Convention Mr. F._C. Whitley. of the Dairy Comznissioner's Branch, Ottawa, gave a very interesting account of a cow census which he conducted in the vicin. ity of Cowansville, Que, during the summer of'1904. Under his supervm- ion seventy-two farmerskcpt daily milk records of their cows, ‘and .thrceaiules a month took samples. for .testing from he milk of each individual cow in their dairies, In this way reasonably occur;- (if burns,,ou' his head,- shouldcrs and ..

The re- port of the census says : ‘ it is safe to say that almost every farmer milking 2') cows has three on which he loses money. Until he keeps a record he cann’ct.~tell which they are. It will pay him to find out.” It was 'found that in one held the best cow yielded nearly three times as much milk as the poorest, and the use of scales and the Bahcick test- er to detect the “ robber cows” is rec- ommended. It is said that there are hundreds of dairy farmers who have thus raised the butter production of their herds in a tow yours from l50 or 175 to 300 lbs.- per annum by'using good sires and carefully weeding out the unprofitable cows. .Othcrs can do the same iflhey will go to the necessary expense and take the necessary trouble.
