Regarding the recent litigation in the McFhersoii estate ni.atter it appears that there was a conflict of opinion among the writing experts as to the validity of .sig- nature ou the note iii dispiite.

L. picnic in Wriiihc's grove, back line, last Friday afternoon wis ra'her flattened out by the rain.

"Profitable poultry farming" (Revised Edition) has been leceived at this office frinu the Chief of the Poultry Division, Department of Agriculture, Ottawa. In is a bulletin of 4t> pages, describing the construction of poultry houses, the feed- ing of poultry, the hatching, rearing, fattening and marketing of chicReins, and also the diseases and parasites o^pcmltry. The Bulletin is ac'nmplete potilSty guide; it is tilled with practical information and is well illustrated. '•Profitable Poultry F.irming" will be mailed free to any ad- dress on applidation to Ottawa. Postage is not required when writing for the Bulletin. The .Advance had a call on Tuesday from Mr. John Ford, late of Dakota. Nine years ago Mr. Ford ran the srist mill here. lie married MiiS Sadie Smith, daughter of Joseph Smith, late of Fleahertoii. For the past live years he has been living in Notth Dakota. A few- weeks ago Mr. Ford met with a sad loss by the death of his wife, who was stricken with consumption of the bowel', and died at the early age of 29 years. The mother and infant: daughter both died of this ilise.iso, which was directly traceable to 1 infection fr<m a source outside the fain \i\y. Mr. Ford and his two brijiht little boys have taken up their abode in Mark- dale, where the former will be employed in his father's mill. Ho was visiting old aciiuaintances in town Tuesd.ay. iNIost of our readers are aware that Brother Irwin of the Durham Chronicle h.vl a son Frank with the American army in theFhillipines.and Frank's racy letters published in the Chroniclowere read with very deep interest. For a h)ng time no wore has been heard from the absentee and many feared something serious h.ad hap[iened him. Last v*-eek's Chronicle quiets these fears. It says : " For over a year we ha"e not heard from our soldier boy, whose lengthy and i-acy letters from the I'hillippines were eagerly read by readers of this paper, in his last letter he told us he would not write again for some time, but not to be unea.ty,as he would be all right. The other day a letter from a friend in Pennsylvania stated he was still alive and well, and since leaving the army he had been in China, Ja^>an and Australia and was then at Loa Angeloj,lutwasabout to s'art to Arizona. He has not yet written home." The Advance occasionally runs against people who might profit if they would read the following from the Shoe and Leather Jo«imal : "Some people goaboot with aoiup on their shoaldais, ready at the sUgbtesk proTouatiun to fly "IT tk* handle.

Of coutre there are phlejtmutio people who would not stir from their snail's gait if the heavens col- lapsed and to whom compliments and in- sults are alike. A man without spirit is only half a man, but these hot-headed fellows are insutferahle bores. Says the Wise Man. ''A fool's wralh is presently known" so that in bis day the world hail its estimate of Hery-tempered individuals who are in the habit of expressing their feelings on the spot.

The long service medal for non-com- missioned officers and men has been awarded by the War Office to Staff Sergt. W. T. Clark, formerly of No. 6 Co. and a resident of Maxwell, who has completed the required twenty years of service in the 31st regiment. "The presentation was made on Sunday, June 14, at Camp Ni- agaraT the regiment being drawn up in close column for the purpose immediately on Its return from church parade. The medal was presented by Lieut. -Col. Campbell, the commanding officer of the regiment, a.ssisied bv Major Sproule, formerly captain of No 6 com|)a<iy, and 2nd Lieut. Richardson, representing Capt. Richardson, who at present com- mands Sergt. Clark's old company. In presenting the medal Lieut. -Col. Camp- bell referred, to the^ long and valuable services which the recipient had perform- ed, and stated that it would always afford him oreao pleasure to similarly decorate any other non conitni.ssioned officer or man to whom the medal might be award- ed. This pleasure was greatly increased on the present occasion by the fact that Sergt. Clark had been a member of No. 6 when Lieut. -Col. Campbell was in com- mand, of the company as captain. While pinning the madal on his breast he ex- pressed the wish that Sergt. Clark might long continue to wear it, both in the ranks of the regiment and, after his re- tirement, in civil life. Tolton Bros', agricultural implement works^t Guelph were damaged by fire to the extent of over §20,000. The late Alex. Fraser, the Ottawa lumberman, left S12,0iX) to religious and charitable purposes, includthg §5,000 to the Methodist church missions and §1,000 to the Salvation Army. Wild mus'ard, a most troublesome pest of the farmers, can be killed by spraying it with a blue stone solution. The secret of the .application is that the' wild mus- tard ba.s a (luffy or hairy leaf, which holds the destructive bluestone, while the leaf of the orain plant is smooth and thereby escapes destruction. > Prof. L' chead, of the C>. A. College Guelph, will leave about the 18th of this month to join a government exploration party which will explore the territory southwest of Lake .Abitibi, north of the height of land in New t)ntario. He will accompany the expedition as an agricul- tural and biological expert, and will de- vote special attention to the soils and plant life of the district, the temperature etc., with a view of determining its value for farm and stock purposes. He will be away six weeks or more.
