huntsville knocks t ta huntsville forester mr hepburns decision to levy a tax on amusement fares up to 23c is perhaps the most unpopular bit of tax legislation he could have de vised it is more than an annoyance it is irritating and in the end will prove abortive the case of an enforcement of the new law came to light the other day in huntsville the orangemen here decided upon a street dance to end their celebration word of this in tention reached the ears ot the government officials at toronto to ensure that there should he no eva sion of the tax an inspector was de spatched to huntsville to cheek up after the admissions paid had been accounted for the dance ended rather abrutly under civic authority the government representative istied a receipt for 43c as the share claimed by the department it is not supposed that the cost of collect- ins this amount could have been less ban 1500 even if slightly less the cost was so absurdedly out of proportion to the revenue that the whole

literature the other day about hogs and the theme was that at six mouths the hog should weigh 200 pounds and right close to that time the hog should go to market pictures in the litera ture too showed the way fat aud lean should be streaked in the bac on directions for feeding were given everything must conform to that one idea of six mouths and 20 0 pounds then off to the pack ing house perhaps that is the best way to raise hogs but its hard on the hogs they dont get a chanc to live long enough to learn much or see much or do much they are cut off before they ve had time to feel at home on the farm where they belong it did not use to be so according to a bethesda farmer whom the scribe encountered at the whitchurch council meeting on saturday this old stalwart trom bethesda locality said that in his early days a hog had a chance with no limit to weight as we have to day he explained that it was well led and the day of its departure was not hastened it got everything to eat in the way of swill whey a bit of bran some corn cobs and all it could pick up on its own hook how many wormy apples the hog ate in season we never knew it grew big and it got fat time came though suid our informant when there was a lire put under the old iron kettle in the yard beside the barn that meant the hog was going to be scraped and the fact that it was go ng to be scraped meant that it was going to be killed but even so that hog had been allowed to live long enough to know what winter and summer was like in some cases it could nomparo this summer with last summer it had opportunity to per ceive the wickedness of the wo id and that should have made it easier to escape from any more of it ac tually there were no particular dim ensions to which a hog shouid at tain in those days wo know that after a hog killing the young folk used to be able to play football for a short time of course said the old timer people who live in cities will not understand that we recall too there was much lard to be rendered and if the hog were made into sausages there would have been enough of them to have roped oil a diamond for a softball game the thing seemed to go along more smoothly than it does today at a hogkilling some of the neighbors used to come over just like a threshing or a barn raising we dont recall that there was any literature issued then saying how long or how high a hog ought to be before the hangman slipped the black cap over its head but the idea of- doing away with a hog at six months was not heard of a hog used to have a decent chance to show how big it could grow but of course that was finite a long time ago be fore everything got pin on efficiency basis fire destroys farm house on peter sunday the moynigham goodwood miss evelyn and master lloyd tate are

letter in which they express ed their gratitude for mrs whites work as organist refreshments were served well well the advanced legisla tion brought down by councillor owen davies in uxbridge council meeting on saturday was defeated some members with cold feet fear ed to try an improvement that a good many other municipalities have found to be satisfactory mr davies we understand wished to take ad vantage of the law which permits municipal elections to ho held on the first monday in december in stead of a month later the early date would avoid snow blocked roads and other inconveniences ot that season mr davies bylaw might have been given a trial and if the earlier election date did not suit the majority then the january election could be reverted to at any time i anyway we do appreciate a man with ideas on the municipal board and no doubt the majority of the council will give the matter more thought and possibly the new date a trial anyway classified notices collie pups for sale each

smother crop was seeded about june 15 the mustard seed lying in the first 1 vz inches of soil germinated about the same time as the buckwheat but the mustard seedlings were soon killed by the faster growing smother crop after harvesting the buckwheat the land was not cultivated or disturbed in any way the following spring oats were seeded on the buckwheat stubble directly with the seed drill with no previous cultivation some mustard came up in the grain but the infestation was so small that the plants were hand pulled with little difficulty and the yield of the grain was higher than an
