FARM FACTS.

Even half dozen sheep are better
than none, as they will keep down the
weeds and prevent the fam from being
seeded with such pests.
Farmers who sowed crimson clover
last fall will have an excellent fertiliz
ing material for blowing under. Nc
nitrogenous fertilizer will be required
where crimson clover has grown, but
applications of phosphates and potash
will be beneficial. Tl>ey cost but a small
sum, however, compared with the sub
stances containing nitrogen.
Do not ridicule or discourage the
progressive farmer because of his so
called fancy farming procivities
The fact that he is not satisfied with
what he has demonstrates that he is
enterprising and is reaching out for
something better. Observe all that he
does, as he may succeed where you have
failed. Every effort in the way Of ex-
pertinent should be approved by the en-
tire community, as without such there
would be no improvement at all.

Mount Lake Creamcry--A Good Record
Through the courtesy of the man
agemeut we are enabled this week tC
present our readers summary OF the
business done by the Mount Lake
Creamery for the past eleven months.
This new enterprise started year
ago, May 1st.
This summary does not cover the
month of April as the account for that
month is not made up until May 10Th.
AS we predicted year ago this EN-
terprise is meeting with good ane
served encouragement. Its system
method OF doing business xand
prompt settlements the 10th OF 'd
month has been matter OF n Y
qualification to the patrons.
Since the first start it has enlarged
through securing the Glebe aud Wes-
ton factories. This has given to the
patrons of these an all-the-year round
market for their dairy products and
presents to all an oportuuity for a
steady monthly cash income.
We understand that market is al
ready secured tor $500 pounds of but
ter week during the coming season,
if milk can be obtained sufficient to
make that amount. A comparison of
prices realized through this creamery
with those of butter markets during
the period of its life shows the high
standing the products Of this factory
has attained viz: an average through
the eleven mouths OF 1886 per pound
net to the patrons. The following ia.
Bile gives the eleven months transac-

USES OF WATER.

Ordinary headaches almost always
yield to the simultaneous application
of hot water to the feet and back of the
neck.
Nothing so promptly cuts short con-
gestion of the lungs. sore throat, or
rheumatism as hot water, when APP
piled early in the case and thoroughly.
A proper towel folded several times
and dipped in hot water, quickly wrung
and applied over the site of toothache
or neuralgia, will generally afford
prompt relief.
Hot water taken freely half an hour
before bedtime is an excellent cathartic
in case of constipation, while it has a
soothing effect upon the stomach and
bowels.
A strip of flannel or q soft napkin,
folded lengthwise and dipped in hot
water and wrung out, and then applied
around the neck of child that has
the Group, will usually bring relief in a
few es.-Pharmologica journal.

Average, Test, Al Price per pound, 1896.
Three strong reasons can easily be
seen why our farmers can derive good
and lasting benefits from patronage
of this creamery.
1st. A steady cash income every
month.
I'd. The valuable use that can be
made of the returned skim milk, sweet
and good.
Sd. And by no means the least,
the relief from the work incidental to
the dairy when the labor is performed
by overburdened wives and mothers.
This latter of itself should be an all
sufficient reason for the patronae ee Of
the creamery.
The success of this enterprise is a
matter in which the SITTER takes
much pride, it having champioLed its
cause from the beginnig, feeling that it
would prove an enterprise of sterling
value to our citizens as whole, es-
pecially the farming portion-the bone
and sinew Of the town-upon whose
shoulders rests future prosperity.
The creamery is now receiving, from
its different stations, nearly 5000
pounds OF milk and is making about
200 pounds of butter per day. This
will soon be largely increased.
