The number of chrques iesued by the Town Treasurer during November was 135, being the greatest number issued in any one month during the year.

Dear Sir â€" Having bad ocension some time ago to travel through Muâ€" koka, I was requested by the President of tho Berlin Orphanage, i‘r. Honsâ€" berger, to visit fise places in the B acebridge district where the Directâ€" ors of the Orvhanage bad placed as mauy children about three years ago. The ages of these children ranged from about 6 to 15 years, at ihe time of my vieit. _ I jfouns that the children were in good situations, in families, where, from all that I could gather, they were considered as reid members of the same. _1 made emquiries from the children themselves. 1 folt satieâ€" fed, that they were well treated aud that tho educational, the moral and the religious advantages, to be found in every true christian Canadian home were not waniing in any of the homes 1 had the privilege of visiting. The kind bearted people who so generonely wcontribated to the Berlin Orphanage, both for its insitution and its invintenance, can indeed feel that their beneficence is well applied. _ The President and Directors apparently do not consider their obligation to their charges ended when sent away from the care of the excellent matron at present in charze of the institu‘tion, but they keep a lively interest by corâ€" respondence and personal investization in the welfare of these compitted to their care. â€" Yours sincerely, JosErH BINGEMAN.

Snider, A Voelker, J Winn, M Zimmerman For the benefit of the public generâ€" ally, I wish to make a few remarks regarding the subject en much discussâ€" ed just now, viz: The examination of awabs supposed to contain the bacilki of diptheria, and if possible to allay the unnecéssary apprehension that seems to possess the minds of a few worthy citizens of our town. At the outset let me ray that the subject of Bacteriology is a . highly scientific one and for that reason it is not easy nor satisfactory to explain to the man or®woman who knows little or nothing about it _ Prejudices are as old and sometimes as lasting as the hills and with out possessing any real knowledge of the subject it is only natural that wrong conclusions would be formed as likely as right ones. The discussion of this subject leads me to remark, in the first place, that bacilli may be divided into two classâ€" ess, active and inactive or quiescent. It will probably astonish your readers to learn that there are vastly more inâ€" uctive than aotive bacilli baving their abode within and without the average man, woman and child. If the baciili of tuberculosis for example could all be seen by the naked eye we would be amazed at their great number and exâ€" istence almost everywhere. . Lucky it hhmm-rm. that so few of them can a suitable place. ‘If they all accomplished Sfla they ‘.g‘firfl MWQMM‘ acon laman Ts mm on pnsom THOSE DIPHTHERIA SWABS.

It is only when they become active and prostrate . the individual that the Board of Health asd attend‘ng physician are calied upon to declare war against them. _ In the light of these facts of bacteriâ€" ulogy, it will be rewlily scen that in apy community where diphtheria 1as recently existed,it would be impossihle :o pick out any individual and say positively ‘Here‘s a man, woman or child who hbas no dipuiberia bacilli about their person."" It simply cannot be done without bacteriologzical examin â€" ation, and I bave factsabundant in my posession to demonstrate that the bacilli may be found on any healthy person in an exposed community. _ _ Without going into the details of what has happened here recently, it will be noticed by what I have already written, that to find bacilli in the throat of a market clerk or any other adult, does not mean that be has the «lisease and needs isolation and treatâ€" ment, er that the declaration of finding ‘hem destroys the truthfuloess of the examination.â€" When the public fully grasp the meaniog of active and quiescent bacilli, and that the latter "stand thick through al! the ground" is well as the former, they will at once see the folly of judging rashly in reâ€" ward to matters that â€" require a technical _ knowledge, _ and _ will conclude that the finding of healtby persons who carry these "offensive weapons" does not qualify them for a bospital. When the Board of Health catches these mischievous little bacilli "in the act? it punishes them and does not desist until thâ€"y are totally wiped out h»w time being. Beyond that, the presént condition of things does rot warrant further action against them. Perhaps some day the quiescent ones too will be : unted out from time to time, and destroved. Just now, in x senge, they have tSfreedom of the city as long as they behave themâ€" <elves. â€" Yours sincerely, Mr. G. C. Creelmin, Superintendent of Farmers‘ Instituses, har just comâ€" ple‘ed arrangements for theâ€"holding of over 700 meetings dur ng the coming months of December, January and February. All the delegates who have been appointed to address the various lostitute mectings are practical men who have studied closely the subjects thâ€"y are advertised to discuss. Besides the regular topics there are three special aubjects that will receive attention this winter and the following instructions have been issued to the Aelegates by the Superintendent:â€" "Last winter, at the request of the Prov Minister of Agriculture, the "Baâ€" con Hog" was discussed at all of our mmeetings. The wisdom of this course is already marifesting itself. A better class of hogs are being offered for sale this fall than ever before. The Regisâ€" trar of Live Stock for the Province states that for the first time the bacon breeds lead in the number of thoroughbred animals rrgistered and we are receiving enquiries from all parts of the Province in râ€"ference to breeding, feeding and finishing of this class of animals. It is likely, thereâ€" fore, that this subject wil come up for discussion again at many of our meetâ€" inga this winter. Our duty does not lie along the line of advising farmers to ;mke up bog raising as a business, but rather to assist those who are already pork prodrcers to raise and put on market a better article than they have done heretofore. We have not a home market now for thick fat pork and we caunot successfully compete with the Americans in their market so long as they have cheap corn with which to feed their hogs. _ Bacon, therefore, must be our principal pork product and the kind.y reception which our Canadian "Wiltshire sides" have been accorded on the British market is sufâ€" ficient to justify us in recommending the farmers to breed to the bacon type. Much has already been done by our progressive swine breeders to improve the bacon classes and it was a noticeâ€" able feature at our fall fairs this year that in all classes of hogs there were longer individual animals and the judâ€" ges gave the highest premiums to those animals that showed the least indication of carrying superfluous fat. The subject of cold storage for l'nrm{ products will be discussed this winter at our meetings. You must be preâ€" pared to discuss this question. New laws have been passed in Ontario relating to this subject and these you should familiarize yourself with. I have already sent you the latest pubâ€" lished information on the subject and you will please study the principles involved and the method and cost of construction of such a plant as would be p acticable for the average Canaâ€" dian farmer. When we assemble in Guelph at the time of the Experimenâ€" tal Union and the Provincial Winter Fair, it is exp cted that an expert will be there to address you on this topic and we hope also to have a cold storâ€" age plant there at that time for pracâ€" tical demonstration. _‘ FARMERS‘ INSTITUTE MEET INGS. Another indusiry that is deserving of more attention than it receives, and which the Hon Minister of Agriculture is anxious to promote, is that of Poulâ€" try Raising and Fattening for the the Home and Foreign Markets. 1 am arranging for a series of special poultry meetings in connection with our Reguâ€" lar and Supplementary Meetings, but the number of farmers who will attend these district meetings must of necesâ€" sity be limited and I request that you acquaint yourself with what has been done and is b:lht;.' done in this country to promote industry. ?I instrnotion on poultry matters will also be furnished at the Winter Fair and you will there obtain practical hints W. .J.
