Our young man took a. look into his carriage shop the other day and saw the beautiful sleighs and cutters that he is turn- ing out and they are certainly -a credit tn Mr. Barr, and indeed would be to any man- ufacturing establishment in Canada. Mr. Barr says he has a large contract from the Singer Manufacturing company and during the last two years h_e has so (1 this world renowned company over five thousand dollars worth of waggons and sleighs to `be used in selling `Sewing Machines. Some of the rigs have been sent as far asQuebec and all through Northern qanada.` 1` I 3` UL IIIIUI Ll \JILI9\lGo ' It is manifest, when the largest company in Canada, and the one using more rigs than any other, order their goods from Mr . Barr. his work must be rst-class, as this company has a chance to see all the carriage shops in the Dominion. THE ADVANCE` wishes Mr. `Barr every success in his turnin out such excellent work, bearing favorab e compar- ison with similar work either in Ontario or Quebec, andit would be well if all our people who are engaged in manufactures of anyd kind,..would strike out for outside` tra e. r __v v.. -..--uv-v -vvwv - --r-- --- The New England Magazine for December thus speaks of one who formerly wielded the quill in this town.

At London last week Prof. Saunders en- tered into an" elaborate explanation of the Experimental Farm system. .Incidentall"y he explained the reasons which had led to the- establishment of the various branch farms, and then briey outlined "many of the more important features of the work. In the first place, he dealt with the experi- ments relating to cereals.` In this regard he gave the resu -ts of a series of tests which had for their objectthe solution `of the proper time of sowing. He explained that sowing in one-tenth acre plots had been car- ried on over a period of six weeks. the sow- ings being a week apart. The first -sowing was done as soon as the ground was , free from frost in the spring, and successive sowin s were done each week over the peri of six weeks. The eneral results pointed to the important act that the earliest sowing gave the reatest yield, while there was a steadily eclinin_g- yield` for each subs uent week in the series. An exception to t is rule was indicatedin the tests with cats. The date of sowing within a ran '6 of two or three weeks did not have the e ect of reducing the yield to such an . extent as was observed in the case of wheat and barley. T lProf; Saunders remarked ; that this year the variety of cats known as j the Banner had given the best resultspall _ round.

The greatest import- ance should be attached to pure and ! ood seed, and it had been the ef4 ort of the Experimental Farm to . assist the farmer in this respect. For: several years past large quantities of seed 9 had been distributed throughout the Do- minion, and in this way 10,844 farmers had been, reached during the past two years with samples of new varieties of grain. The object was to gradually inuence the whole grain crop of the country favorably, and `thus enable farmers to make their work more protable. It was explained that these samples were sent to any farmer who `l might apply for them without any cost whatever. As a proof of the extent of the I demand, it was said that some eighteen tons of grain were re uired last year tel make up the number 0 three-pound bags , asked for.` - -___ __-__.-~ 4 Oixr Manufacturing lstabighmesu. one of Barrida Newspaper Men.

The Director then `referred to the sys- I tem of seed testing in operation at the Central Experimental Farm, by which any farmer, without a cent of cost .to himself, might ascertain the exact per- centage of his seed grain which might be expected to germinate under favorable cir- cumstances. Another class of work of con- siderable importance was that relating to cross-fertilization. The object was to pro- duce entirely new sorts with a view to brin together in one individual grain the goo qualities of two or more varieties. By this process some one hundred and fourteen new varieties had been produced at Ottawa, and as the result of last year`s operation V about one hundred more varieties had been added. This work would be prosecuted in the reasonable expectation of producing some: varieties which will be of much value to the farmers of Canada. y l vnav anvuun v- -v _- -__ __ -7, Present, the whole council.` The reeve in the chair, called the meeting to order.

The important question of winter dairy- ` the farmers. Lack of time prevented ing was then taken up by Prof. Saunders. . He said there had been an agitation in many of as parts of the country for the estabiidhment . of a creamery with a view_ to determining how far it would be profitable to the farm-~ ers Western of Ontario to make butter` upon during the winter season. Our butter had chief points not hit-herto commanded a very high rice in England, for the reason that every arm- er s wife considered herself a good butter .. . ._ g A His Simple Sparrow Trap, following upon the general methods of fiparrow ls.deve1pmg marveuou butter making adopted throughout the 't1.H0m}t E mg:e_imity' 31 %he'nfp k.elec country, had been disastrous.

At Mount Elgin they were getting a supply of from seven to nine thousand pounds of milk per day, and the butter product var- ied from three hundred and fty to four hundred pounds. The milk brought` in indicated an average of a little over four .~r cent. of butter fat b the Babcock Lester ; but in estimating t e results it was necessary to allow for an addition of one- sixth, which was represented by small quantities of water,cascine and salt. At thisiactory the milk was paid for in pro- portion to the amount of butter fat it con- tained, which plan precluded the possibility of any manipulation of the milk, and had the advantage of giving the greatest pay to the farmer whose cows produced the richest milk. A char e of three cents per pound on the utter was ' made to cover the cost of making and mar- keting. At the end of each month an ad- vance was made to each patron of ft"een cents per `pound on the butter which had been produced from his contribution of milk. No further advance was made un- til the butter was sold and then the net roceeds were divided. Prof. Robertson ad reported to him that the butter thus far produced was e ual to the best Danish creamery make, an it was expected that it would bring from twenty-ve` to twenty- eight cents per pound in the pEn_glis_h mar-_; ket.

It was proposed to put up this butter, in d r .. _cial 'forms of which ' shoul known` as Canadian frst- c1ass._ "butter packages. ` It appeared that tin-lined tube were not used to any extent, outsideef.` Canada, and this was one of the forms of package which Prof. Robertson had `de- cided to use. Another form. would_ be- barrel-shaped rkins` of ' oak.` It hoped that when . these s cial forms s.nd_. brands came to be establis ed in the Eng-` lish marketrthat buyers would feel satised in accepting them as the [guarantee of quality. Tue factory at Woodstock was managed in a di_'erent way -from the fac- tory at Mount Elgin. At .. the latter place the Centrifrugal _ separator was used, and farmers were able to take home. the skim- medmilk with them. - At Woodstock, how-` _ ever, the plan had been _adopted of collect- ing the cream three times a. week. -Farmers were given -directions how to set and store the cream, and threetimes a week theteam came for the p`uTose of collectin the pro- - duct. A samp e` was taken rom each farm'er`s lot, and he-was paid for it in pro- ' portion to the amount of butterfat it con- tained. Here four cents er pound was charged, the one cent ad)ditioual being for the extra cost of collecting. The average quantity of butter produced at that factory was from two hun- dred and seventy-ve to three hundred pounds er day.` The intention was to enlarge t is work of winter dairying next year. V It was hoped that - in other im- portant districts central factories would be established to which six or seven separat- ing branches would contribute. B this means a large area could be covere , and S farmers `would not be obliged to carry their miik long distances. Under this plan one experienced butter-maker would S receive the cream from ve or six contribut- ing stations, and be able to turn out from fteen hundred to two- thousand pounds of butter per day. If the country could be dotted with such factories asthese-`-and he believed that most farmers were new con- vinced of the advantage of bringing in their cows so as to have milk for butter- making in the winter as well as milk for cheese-making during the summer-it would put a great deal of money in the pockets of our farmers. .COLLATEBAL EXPERIMENTS. Prof. Saunders then gave the details of a number of experiments directly collateral to the broad matter of winter dairying. For example, be dealt with the tests which had been undertaken for the purpose of as- certaining the value of milk in butterfat at ` different eriods, ranging from three to nine ` months a ter the period of calving. He then 5 passed on to show the advantagesarising [ out of the use of the Centrifugal separators as against the ordinar methods, of setting. The direct object of a 1 this is the produc- . tion of good butter, and the exploiting of the British market was to put dollars into the pockets of the farmers. In coneludin an address of great interest and practical recent trip through several of the Western States. In the course of that trip he had meta large nnmber of persons who were engaged as instructors and otherwise, and he was able to fairly compare the work done there with the work done on this ide of the line. He was gratied to nd that our farmers were far in advance of the farmers of the Western States. He believed S the farmers of Canada were a the best informed. the most enterprising, and were the best workers on this continent and perhaps equal to the farmers of the Old Country. He was fre- quently told by instructors that it was the custom in the Western States to call atten- tion to the superior methods in vogue in Canada. Moreover. the rices for farm lproducts were consideraby better than those obtained across the line, and the I general results were more satisfactor to I Q.......-lam.
