place in recent years among the farmers in housing their cattle and other live stock he says that the very cold weather of last week would have been very trying on domestio animals a rew years ago when the farmer only had frame stables or even the old log buildings of pioneer days where as now we have warm comfortable stables within stone walls the farms around us being all practically cleared up the cold north wind has a greater sweep than it did in the good old days when we had large tracts of woods on either side which afforded a friendly shelter during the cold biting blasts flesherton advance at division court last week- judge sutherland gave a decision in a case that has not been received by the farmers arid others in this district with very good grace the plaintiff was lead ing a pig along the road at night when a car came along from behind and struck it the rplaintiff claimed that it was within three feet of the side of the road at the time it was hit but the defendant said it must have been on further as he was tra veiling on the crown of the road and the pig was on an angle facing the centre of the roadway the plaintiff was within his rights in travelling along the highway at night but the judgment was given against him as he didnt have lights to show that he was travelling on the highway the judge seemed to think that it was a good opportunity to show that the car had the right of way at night over all classes of traffic and that if anything or anybody were injured thereby it was not the fault of the car the farmer has rights on the highway with his stock when leading them and in thla case the road was quite wide and there was any amount of room for a car to pass on the right side school report primer a margaret forsyth and floyd forsyth equal lily
