Rvaatiis atte i a BENS ets Bind ee eT =D — ——— — THEMBEBEE PUBLISHER. R. 8. PELTON, - FRIDAY, DECEMBER 4, 189f. In the North Perth election case, at Osgoode Hall, Toronto, Nov. 30th, the trial judges postponed their decision on preliminary objections until December 19th. The South Ontario case, which is identical, has also been postp ned. Tue Toronto Globe says:—Hon. Oliver Mowat sent a letter to Dr. McKay, M. P.P. for South Oxford, prior to the re- cent meeting at Woodstock in the in- terests of annexation. He argued in favor of maintaining the connection with the empire. TnE municipal pot has not commenc- ed to boil yet. It isa matter of doubt with many whether our present Coun- cil could be replaced by men as well able to grapple with the affairs of the township, especially the drainage sys- tem. now under way. This drainage problem is peculiar to Elma, and to work it in the best interests of all con- cerned requires men of shrewd, calcu- lating minds and years of experience. Tuer village Council of Chesley has passed a by-law making it unlawful to sell cigars, tobacco and all such like, to minors under the age of 14 years, unless on written authority of the parents. Had such a Jaw been enacted years ago by municipalities, generally, there would to-day be less tobacco used, less liquor drank, and fewer dissipated wrecks of humanity in our land. To bacco using is generally the forerunner of strong drink; and mark our words, that out of ten persons who use tobacco seven will not hesitate taking some- thing—-well, stronger than cold water. WHATEVER the outcome of the rail-, way ticket charges may be, it is clear the law standsin serious need of amend- ment.—Srratford /erald, Yes, by all means have itamended. It appears a candidate’s election can be too easily voided the way the Election Act now reads. Itisa costly and troublesome business to elect a man to while by the least irregularity in the econdnet of any unprincipled scallywag of a Grit or Tory will unseathim. The aMember-eleet- should net be held tespon- sible for the conduet of every Tom, Dick and Harry in the riding, even though he be styled an “agent.” oe Some Pointers for Farmers. PROPER CARE OF STOCK. S wipter is on, this is the time to care for cows if the owners are going to make a prolit this sea- son or next. Mileh cows should have been in the stables at nights during the last month and a half to keep the tlow of milk up. It is the milk that makes the profit, and every cow should milk ten months out of the twelve. Cows well fed in the early winter will save feed in the spring, and eattle always fail most in the first of the wiuter. Also, cows milking should be curried and brushed every day and Lie stables cleaned every morning be fore milking. Manure should not be allowed to accumulate on the cows hips and udders, TLalf the milk obtained during the time cows are stabled is tiututed from this cause. muk with this offensive taste may make geod butter and be palatable to the users of tobacco or spirits, but as all butter eaters are not of these classes the taint has a very strong tendency to depreciate the value of the butter, Cows tied in stantials can be kept clean- erthanany other way, and it is the safest way of tying and justas comfort. | avle for the animal. time to fecd calves well that have been fed tie milk ofa cow all summer. It is a poor plan to feed a ealf twenty dol- lars worth of milk during the summer and let it loseit all during «a couple of months of winter. Now for some proofs on the subject of raising pigs:—I bought five Berkshire pigs on the 27th of August, weighing 50d Ibs., and on the {th of November they weighed 1,000 lbs., and dressed 150 Ibs. each. They gained nearly one and a hilf pounds each a day, and a fat pig weighing from 200 to 250 Ibs. live weight will dress about 50 lbs, less if fasted twelve hours. Prof. Robinson, of the Dominion Experimental Farm, stated at the pom ee at Listowel recently that pigs well kept untilsix weeks old will gain, if well fed, three pounds a week. ‘l'o make a profit on hogs or cattle they want to be kept fat allalong until fit for the butcher. If a man gwishes to keep them for ornament in- * stead of profit and likes to have them running around squealing, the better way isto feedthem only a little <A ig ean be kept forja year and not gain 35 lbs. on the samp feed that would make it gain 100 in t months. ape geod qualities of their neighbor's stock.—John C.
