EVOLUTIONARY ENTERTAINMENT

Those who were present at Miss Rowell's
elocutionary entertainment Monday even
ing, were well paid for their attendance.
The programme was replete with heroic,
pathetic, and comic. A special mention
of the first part, in the rendition of 'The
fall of Pemberton Mills" her power in
this surpassed all former efforts; as she
ftly described the Idol Cripple" buried
beneath the ruins, while the fast approach
ing flames gathered around her. she family
but heroicly sang 81 am going home"
In the pathetic she excels. and herein lies
her forte. In the death of Paul Dombey
her portrayal was complete. In the rem
dition of "Sistcr and T. an aber pen can
only describe 1t, but the general verdict
pronounces it fine recitation.

Brightside Sa66, seven years old, IS a

She is an unusually large cow for a
Jersey, but is still good one at the
pail and has the appearance of being
good breeder. Her sire is Worm.
wood I746, he by Hector .or by
Blucher; dam, Beattie 4I64, by
Burnside aud he by the famous Rajah
$40. The other COW is valuable
one as a butter COW and breeder.
Her heifer calf, four months old, is
as trim and neat as deer. Besides
these there is an unregistered bull
calf that will score well up in points,
and a fine three-quarter blood heifer
calf by Syringa's Yokun 9346. The
COWS on the place are mostly natives
and will be crossed with the Jerseys.
Last year seven cows were kept on
the farm, from which 1913 pounds
of creamery made butter was sold at
an average price of aoH cents. This
season an average of SO pounds per
week is obtained from eight cows,
and which is sold at from 7 to 10
cents above current prices. This is
certainly paying business and with
herd of Jerseys he will do still bet
ter.
A flock of 200 sheep are kept on
an adjoining farm, 100 of which are
full blood Merinos of Barnes Bros.
and Burllngame stock. There are
also "a Poland China hogs that will
be ready to swell the pocket book of
the proprietor of Spiritwood about
tax time next winter.
In the poultry department-over
which Quincy Mcbride has charge
we find Langshan and Hohdan
chickens, and 10 Bronze turkeys.
From January Ist to August 9th, $sI
worth of eggs have been sold from
SO hens-and all at market price.
This department is one of the best
paying on the farm.
All in all, Spiritwood farm seems
to be well managed and paying each
year a fair dividend: (
After wandering around the farm
and receiving instructions from Kirk
White as to how to smoke out wood
chucks-and we think he would be a
success at the business; seeing Byron
Dawes jump rail fence to get out
of the way of chipmunk; giving
Wilbur Pierpont a pointer on the
"escutcheon,' and listening to Ed.
Dewey tell what strange oats a piece
of barley was, we started for the
house at the call of the supper bell
and it Is needless to say that four
hungry boys can always do justice to
as ample repast as was prepared by
Mrs. Mcbride. Soon after we started
home, all agreeing that a visit to
Spiritwood would be profitable and
certainly enjoyable to oil.
We might add that some of our
free trade friends could profit by a
few minutes talk with J. N. Mcbride,
who is we'll posted on this subject.
