Sewell, a highly respected : pioneer of this locality. Some fif- iteen yiars ago deceased contracted j gangrene in his foot and it became [necessary to have it amputated. He recovered from this and was able to get around until a year ago when his heart became affected. For the last three months he ha.s been confined to his bed, and the end was not un- expected. The late Mr. Sewell was a son of tho late Arthur and Ann Sewell [>nd ' was born in Hogg's Hollow, near I North Toronto on September 15th, 1849, jusj a short time after his parents came from Ireland. When ^10 was about four years of age the family moved to the townline between Euphrasia and Artcmesia, where de- ceased grew to manhood. In 1875 he married Lydia M. Postill of the ninth concession of Euphrasia, and took up a homestead on the town- line, where they farmed until 1896. when they bought a farm on the llth jof Euphrasia. He sold out and moved to Toronto about twenty-six years ago, where he worked as a car- ! pcnter with the Laidlaw Lumber Co., [until he became incapacitated through the loss of his foot. The deceased was the last survivor of a large family, and leaves: bis widow, five daughters and two sons to mourn the loss of a loving father, namely: Mrs. J. P. Gauley, Mrs. G. W. Cooper, Mrs. David Anderson, Mrs. Leslie Harper and Mr. Richard Sewell all of Toronto, Mrs. Oliver Hill of Meaford and Mr. J. P. Sew- ell of Rock 'Mills. He also leaves 35 grand children and thirteen great- grand children. He was a staunch Conservative in politics and a mem- ber of Pearin Memorial United Church. The funeral, which was largely at- tended, was conducted at his home, 56 Beechwood Ave., by his pastor, Rev. W. W. Wallace, and then pro- ceeded to Prospect Cemetery. He was carried to his last resting place by his six grandsons: Messrs. Ernest and Wilfred Gauley, Clifford Cooper, Duncan and Elwood Sewell and Har- old Aplin. Among the many floral offerings there were a wreath from Pearin Memorial United Church, Presbyter- ian Choir and the Presbyterian W. A. Relatives from a distance wer n : M.-. and 'Mrs. Oliver Hill, Meaford; Mr. Postill Sewell, Rock Mills; 'Mrs. .TBS. Penelton and Mrs. David Lee, Markdale; Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Mc- Kenzie, Detroit; Mr. Wilfred Gauley, Brantford and Mr. and Mrs. Duncan Sewell of St. Catharines.

BRACKENBURY Flesherton, Ont Early Oals Gain Favor Early oats, such as the Alaska and O. A. C. No. 3 have been increasing in popularity throughout the pro- vince In counties where the season is rather short the early oat is pro- ducing * hicher yield of heavier oats thi>n the later varieties like Banner and O. A. C. No. 72 The earlier var- ieties mature before being caught by frost rust. Ofte". the yield of latd varieties of o"ts is materially reduc- ed by rust. The acerage of mixed grain throughout Ontario is also in- crea.sing, ind nn e-rly oat fits in bet- ter with b'i'-lev. the two maturing at the sume time. Another reason why some fanners BIT using early oats is to combat sow thistle. They work the ground later than i"siM in the spring 1 a"d then sow a quick matur- ing variety of oats. The percentage i)l hull in early oats h IHS as n rule than that of later oats, and as the hull has no more fed vluo than straw, the early oat is of slightly higher !Vdimr vluo than is the late oat. Lost In Markdale Last Friday night the Fesherton high school boys journeyed to Mark- dale and came home with the small end of the 7-5 score. The game was fairly fast and clean. In the first period Markdale succeeded in flipp- in four goals, while Eddie Patton made a lone rush for Flesherton and prevented a shut-out. The second period Markdale counted three and George Boyd slipped one past for Fisherton on a pass from Sled, who was behind the Markdale net. Ed. Patton again counted near the last of tho period making the score read 7-3. The third period found tYi-i Flesher- ton net minder, Fred Gorrell, replac- ed by Bob Phillips. The Local lads were becoming used to the large ico surface and had most of the play. Gorrell dented the twine twice in this period, making the final score 7-5 for Mnrkdalo. Flesherton Goal.

For the season of 11)30-31 therp are approximately 500 flocks oi" poultry under inspection in the province under the Ontnrio policy for approved farm flocks oi breeding stations. This in- volves ir'ound 175.000 bird", ".s com- pared with 45,000 when the wlicy became operative in ll>28-2'.>. The in- crease reveals :i keen di-sire on the purl of flock owners to improve their laying stock. The flocks rre c*'llfd find banded by an inspector nnd this work is usui'lly done by th^ fi"st of December. The birds culled out are disposed of and those banded are then blood tested during 1 December and January. The blood testing: is to determine the free- dom of thu layers from that costly tlisenso of young chicks, known as inillorum. Flock owners under this policy must maintain a certain stand- ard of sanitation, guard against in- fectious or contagious diseases nnd use inspected or qualified male birds. This i< one of several policies U-tulhu: towards imnrovement of poultry fli'-?kr. ind of the quality of chicks distributed. Some men never get old enough to! know better.
