BROWN DAIRY FARM
MAKES SPLENDID SHOWING

Threshing at the Ormanzo Brown
farm east of the city was finished
last week and the records show very
satisfactory returns for the years
work in the fields.
From 140 acres 5000 bushels of
wheat were threshed; 80 acres of
barley yielded 1,4OO bushels; and 200
acres of oats 10000 bushels, which is
a nice lot of grain.
The corn from 40 acres was used to
fill the two silos of 12O tons capacity
each, the Brown Dairy having 24O
tons Of ensilage for the big dairy
herd. The corn shocks from 80 acres
are now being worked, the best husked
and saved for seed, which will be
scarce and high priced the coming
year owing to the cool summer and
early frosts, and the rest used as
fodder without stripping off the ears.
Mr.. Brown has $50 tons of alfalfa,
clover and timothy hay and quanti-
ties of straw for bedding purposes.
At present he is feeding ensilage
twice day to his dairy cows and a
mixed ration of hay, corn, fodder,
etc., for the third feeding.

PRIVATE GEDDES' BRAVERY
MRS, /, ANDERSON'S. S BRO,

The following London dispatch in a
Toronto paper will have especial local
interest since the man whose hero
ism saved many of his companions in
the recent channel disaster when an
English hospital ship was sunk,
Private Geddes of Gait, is brother
Of Mrs. Herbert Anderson of this
city:
London, Nov. Geographic stories
of their peril when the hospital ship
Anglia sunk in the Channel We're told
by eight Canadians visited by the
Mail and Empire correspondent at the
County of London Hospital, EPSON.
They were mostly invalided or suffer-
ing from slight wounds, and therefore
were in position to help themselves,
but a number of Canadian COM
panions more seriously incapacitated
have perished.
Private Geddes, of the Goth Winni-
peg Rifles, well known in the milling
trade in Gait, was on his way home
after an attack of rheumatic fever.
Shortly after lunch, he said, when
within three miles of Dover, an ex-
plosion was heard, the ship shivered
throughout, and listed toward the
bow. Nurses and R. A. M. C. men
rushed to the wounded in the cots be-
low. Lifeboats were lowered, one of
which capsized, the result being that
the occupants nearly all perished, not
having lifebelts. Private Geddes pro-
cured belts for several helpless men,
and finally leaped into the sea when
the ship listed dangerously, and after
struggling in the water he came up
near raft. The ship sank in 25 min
utes after the explosion. German
shells and bullets in the dugouts and
trenches are bad enough" said Priv
ate Geddes, "but for real nerve
racking horror a mined or torpedoed
hospital ship beats everything else"
Private Geddes emphasized the
heroism of the nurses. One Of his
companions, seen later, paid a tribute
to Geddes' ready help and his refusal
to leave the ship until the last pos
sible moment.
The few belongings which the men
had were lost, but J. M. Clarke, on
behalf of the Ontario Government
Agency, has visited all the Canadians
and promised to supply their needs.
A complete statement shows that
400 officers, one nurse and 129 SOL
diers from the ranks were lost. All
of these except five described as mis-
sing, are believed to have drowned

When the doors of the armory are
thrown open next Wednesday for
the opening day of the poultry and
corn show, the public will have an op-
portunity to view some of the best
specimens of poultry that were ever
exhibited in the northwest. The en-
tries closed December 8 and birds will
begin to arrive Monday and Tres,
day Of the following week. n:
The large armory will be beauti-
fully decorated for the occasion. Of
ficers having charge of this work
have everything in readiness and
will complete preparations Monday
and Tuesday, so that the interior OF
the building will present a fine ap-
pearaace, December. Is, 16, II and
1S. The room will be steam heated,
electric lighted and otherwise made
comfortable.
Officers of the Missouri Slope
Poultry Association have worked
faithfully to make this affair sue
cess. Many of the duties have fallen
upon the shoulders of a few who are
endeavoring to put the poultry in
dustry in it's proper place at the
head of our resources. You will learn
great deal about poultry by at
tending the exhibition and no doubt
see some varieties that you never
knew existed.
AS far as is known there will be
no roosters that lay eggs placed on
exhibition, though we have no record
of the specimen dying that was shown
last year. However, there will be
scores of beautiful birds-in their
best clothes-all dolled up and an
xious to pose. ~
Plan to attend at least one day and
assist the association in staging this
exhibition, which is by no means a
money-making scheme.
There will be turkeys, ducks, geese,
guinea fowl, bantams, games and
scores of varieties of white, red, buff,
spangled, barred, stippled, golden, sill
yer and blue chickens.
No doubt there will be many fine
pens and single birds for sale.
The entries up to the middle of this
week totaled 1926 birds, or more than
the entire entries of year ago. Sew
eral large entries are already made
Members of the association will make
all trains on Sunday, Monday and
Tuesday and all birds will be taken
from the trains in a covered wagon
to the armory, where competent men
will be in charge to care for them.
The care will be the very best and
will be absolutely free.
