Daylight Saving President Wilson, ia vetoing the American Agricultural Bill which was designed to end the practice (if daylight siviu;;, mentioned particularly the economic advantage of advancing the clock one hour in the summer mouths. Those opposed to the reform may ni t have realized that the saving i.i cocil and in electrical power IS sutil.cient in itself to overbalance any slight inconvenience which may be fek by one section of the population . The advantage to urban residents is undoubted. Since Can'adtau and American railways must operate on the »amo time schedules it is probable that daylight saving will cnulinue in Cauiid'i, as in the L'uitcd States, until l',>2o at ieiist. â€" Toronto Times.

Stocks of Bet he', instalKd a m >iiih a^o the tirst milking machine iti successful operation in this district and he is so pleased with the woik done a.id timj sived that the milking operations twioj a day is one of the pleasures of farm'life. The machine is run by a 4 h. p. gisoline engine, which doos the cream separating at the same time. A» 8)011 Hs *.he last cow is milked there is j 1st that iiiilkirg to put through the separator. . Mr* StocKs has eight cows milking at pro'cnt, but intends increasimj his number. Although he milks the cowssiug'y, taking from one to three niinutes fur each, his michiue has a capacity for milking ten cows at one operation. He hadn't had any trouble wi'h the michiuo or with the ciiws. In fact the cows appear to prefer the machiue to hand milking. The work is done cleaner and hotter by machine and the time and labor saved is ipiite a cousidera- tioD, particuUrly at night when everyone IS tiled. â€" Pundalk Herald. ROCK MILLS Mr. and Mrs. Geo.
