BLACKSMITHING DONE The new steel bridge on the Owen Sound highway was completed last week under the supervision of Road Overseer W. "J. Caswell. This bridge is amile and a quarter north of Mark- dale over the Saugeen river, and has been under construction during most of the past summer. The bridge has a, steel span of 38 feet, is 25 feet wide and 19 feet high. It required \ three car loads of cement and steel I to construct it. The filling at either ; end is completed temporarily, bu, ; gravelled and in good shape for traffic. The work called for 13,000 yards of excavation, of which amount : 7,000 has already been done.

ONTARIO AI^ GREY COUNTY SUCCESSES During the last week in October, Ontario breeders of Holstein and Jer- sey herds won over all American contestants. There were ten head of animals in each class. More recently at the British Farm- ers' Dairy Show, London, England, Onario swept everything in the Colon- ial sections with cheese, honey and eggs. Here is the record â€" first and third prizes in a class of 37 entries for cheese; this came from Frontenac County; first prize for honey from Grey county and first prize for eggs from Oxford county. The gold medal for best colonial exhibit was won by Ontario. Three cheers for Grey county. Mr. H. D. Mclntyre, Durham, deserves the greatest commendation for his success To win the highest award in honey at the Empire Exhibition is indeed a wonderful success. The success of the Oxford county eggs is a testimony to the good work being done by the organization which was brought into being by the egg circles of the County, which was re- sponsible for the grading of all the eggs handled before the egg grading regulations came into force. So suc- cessful has this organization been that already there is a constant grow- ing demand for Oxford county graded eggs, which in reality, is a result of equal if not greater value than tne London success. Here it is a case of an assured market for a graded pro- duct sold only on the basis of quality and in indirect, perhaps we should say, dii-ect-result is the crowning achievement of producing .gradine; and exhibiting eggs in competition with the whole British Empire and of carrying away the highest honors. It is apparent that in the affiliated egg circles of Oxford county quantity and quality production go hand in hand, the all important essential for real, not apparent, market s'ipreniacy. While Grey county has won laurels worthy of the greatest commendation, why should she not win the prize for eggs ? Grey county eggs are just as good as Oxford but we have no organ- izataion, no egg circles. The remedy is in the Grey county farmers' hands. Get busy, organize your egg circles, and prepare to take the honor from Oxford county as the producer of the best Colonial eggs.

Here is a caution â€" Use only the best oats and then treat them with 15 drops of Formalin to one gallon of water. It destroys all mould germs so that the mould will not be so likely to develop on the grain as it sprouts. QUEER BABIES , ( London, England, is rejoicing just now in the queerest baby show on earth. To the lion cubs and the four foot elephant, which arrived some time, ago, the Zoo has added a baby hippopotamus of the pigmy variety from Liberia, v/hich, when full grown, is not much larger than a big wild bear, whereas his cousin is eleven feet long and weighs three or foui- tons. The zoo authorities already own a fine female specimen, which has been in the garden for about ten years. Percy, the newcomer, four months old and eighteen inches long, is doing well "on the bottle," and add- ing about a pound a day to a weight of forty pounds. He is a friendly little beast, built on the lines of a stocky short backed pig, and quite a beauty, a3 hippos go, though, as a Cockney visitor says, "He ain't no art gallery." The zoo has also acquired a walrus, who was promptly named "Old Bill," from his facial resemb- lance to that popular hero. At pres- ent his daily ration is 20 pounds of seal blubber, which came from Nor- way with him, but, if he lives to grow up, he will need several hund- red weight of fish every day and cost the society something like $2,000 a year.
