The vol- ume is steadily growing, and there is reason to expectc that in the course of a year it will be such as to off- set the $200,000 estimated reduction in revenue. Stimulus will also be given the British move for similiar reduction. It is a well-known fact that even before the penny postage rate was re-established, the number of letters coming from G -eat Brit- ain to Canada wa.^ much less than what went the other way. SCHOOL GRANTS IN GREY THE SECRET OF EGG PRODUCTION He's a cracker- jack to sneeze! It runs in the family. Dui- ing the big storm last week he went to feed the hens for his better half.

TRIPLE1JALVES Mr. John Meihm, who resides in Derby township at what is known as Penner's Comers, is the proud pos- sessor of a handsome Holstein cow which he considers the most vuK: able animal in the herd. It is not unccmmon for a good healthy cow to give birth to twin calves, but on Tuesday of this week this Holstein cow brought triplets into the worla. much to the surprise of Mr. Meilim, and they are all well formed, normal calves in every way, and on Thurs- day morning wero reported as being as lively as cricketj around the place with every promise of devel- opinfj; as well as any other calves on the farm, while the mother cow is also in splendid condition. Tv.'o of the calves arc red in color with a whits star in the centre of the foreheads, while the third one is grey. This is accounted for by the fact that the sire was a Shorthorn, and this puts the calves into the grade class. Tho arrival of the triplets has brought many visitors during the last two days to the farm of Mr. Meihm. and much interest i'J being manifested in their growth and development. â€" Ex.
