I have been out here three years and have to see my first thunder storm yet â€" a climate hard to beat. Goats feed on the vacant lots all winter and there is plenty of grass for them.

A New Forgery Scheme Slick Stranger (iet.s .Man's Signature and then forges It on Check A gent who worked the bluff that he represented a firm in Toronto specializing in heating appliances, called on Mr. Bannister secretary of the Southampton public school board one day lastl week, and after explain ing that he had been sent out by his firm to try and interest the town of Southampton in a central heating plant for its schools, asked the secretary if he would oblige him by placing his signature to u letter ho was forwarding to his company to .-Viow that ho was on the Job. Read- ing the letter, in which there was nothing to lead the secretary to susnect anything crooked, Mr. Bann- ister placed his "John Henry" at the botton of the letter as requested. The stranger, after getting Mr. Bann ister's signature copied it on a check for $100, made payoble to himself and cashed it at the bank. It was not till neat day that the forgery was discovered and an attempt made to apprehend the slick stranger. He was traced to Owen Sound, but there the trail v;as lost, and all efforts to locate his whereabouts have as yet proved futile. It has learned that a similar trick, apnar(,ntly by the same man, aws recently worked in Allandale. .\s the cheque was drawn on the ])ublic school board it looks as though the teller in the bank erred in cashing same as neither the school stamp or the chairman's and t.rcas urer's signatures appeared on the check wliich arc necessary to make .';uch an order valid, and in all like lihooti the bank clerk will have to make good the sum of his negligence. â€"Port Elgin Times.

When a man Ib In need of dairy cows and y >eB out to search for anl- nial3 that ;.re likely to be profitable to hint thcj'o are a number of things lo be kept in mind.

The pur- chaser should depend on his own judgment, and not on statements of owneiM jalesB such statements are backeil up by carefully kept records of prcductlon. Cov.s with "dairy temperament" have thin necks, sharp withers, prom- inent vertebrae, hips and pin' bones; thin incurving thighs and a general •jodv conformation that U wedge- shaix.'d no matter from what angle it Is \ .ewed. Dairy temperament is also as.-oclated with alertness, marked ac- tl\ iiy, and lack of all coarseness In th ) Individual. Cows with "feed capacity"' show p'.eiity of room or middle for the s loraKO of feed. They are long and deep between tho shoulder and the !ilp, loHH faces, wide foreheads, broad muzzle, and larsf; Jaw with full well- developed salivary glands. Cows with "conatllutlon and vigor" are wide through the heart region, have a big strong heart, a strong cir- culation of blood to all parts of the body. This condition Is usually re- flected In the healthy condition of the hair, oily secretions of the hide and well-developed, prominent veins on the under side of tho abdomen and on the udder, face and neck. Constitution and vigor Is also shown in largo bright eyes, large nostrils and a general alertness. Cows with "well-developed milk or- Kans" can boast of the following characteristics: ITdder well attached to the body and not pendulous. Udder tissue pliable and soft to the touch, free from coarseness, hard areas or lumps. Udder of good size, extended well forward and high up behind.
