The Canadian Horticulturist is on our table for August and is replete with timely suggestions and seasonable cuts. Every person engaged in the culture of fruits, flowers and forestry should have it. The Farmers' Advocate still holds its position as the leadiut{ agricultural journal in the Dominion. It has always been independent and outspoken, ever foremost in adyocating the best interests of the agricultural class. It ia really too bad that the authori- ties have neglected or refused to com- plete the bridge over "Allen's sink hole" by putting on a railing. It is extremely dangerous to leave such a bridge thus and the wonder is that serious damage has not been done before now.

They threshed for Wm. Douglas, adjoining the village, on Monday last 225 bnsbelp: of fall wheat in two hours. This machine is taking a front place in the market, and those who intend purchasing should see this thresher working before buying. Sodden Death. â€" On Friday last Mr. T. H. Carr, lumber merchant, who has made Markdale his headquarters for the last two years, was measuring lumber at Flesherton Station, and while stand- ing on a flat car on the siding, suddenly fell from the car on his face on the ground and died instantly. Mr. Carr was an unmarried man of 38 years. His friends live near AUendale, where his body was conyeyed by train. The Financial meeting of Markdale District (Methodist church) was h^d in this village on Monday last. Each cir- cuit on the District was represented, vi2 Markdale, Flesherton, Dundalk, Melancthon, Eugenia,Priceville, Holland Centre, Walter's Falls and Euphrasia. The meeting is composed of one minist- er and a lay man from each circuit, so that there were about eighteen present in all. • The business of this meeting is the adjustment of the financial affairs of the district, and was arranged in an amicable maimer.

Wiley and was almost a tie. 150 men were present at the raising every iMurt went together well and no accident hi^poied to mar the pkasantness of tixb occasion. Johnston, Shb deserves it. â€" ^An exchange says â€""Give your wife a vacation. She needs one. Little cares are harder to bear than great responsibilities, she has many more cares than^her husband, and sometimes as great responsibilities. A woman's work is never done, and modern life has increased and intensifi- ed it. Cares have multiphed faster than conveniences. Life is more complexi its demands are greater and more num- erous, society more exacting. Who needs a yacation if she does not And she cannot get it at home. The more quiet and restful the home is to yon the more evidence that it is a care, if not a burden to her. A housekeeper can no more take a vacation in her house than a merchant in his counting-room. Even though her absence occasions inconven- ience, give an occasional vacation." Mb. Bell, of Bell's far famed silvery lakes, recently captured a huge turtle which measured two feet from the point of its ugly nose to the tip of its horny ahgator-like tail. The genial Mr. A. S. Cochrane, now in this vicinity in charge of the Government and Natural History Survey, happened at Mr. Bell's and after calmly feasting hh artistic and scientific eye upon the huge reptile for one bliss- ful moment his active brain told him that his turtleship would be a good re- presentative for Glenelg at Ottawa and do honor to his constituents as well as credit to himself, so purchased him of Mr. Bell, and after stall-feeding him on protooxide of hydrogin and chaff soup served with "aqua a la mode" for two days, shipped him to the above depart- ment at Ottawa. The turtle will be skinned and atuffed and placed in the museum along with thousands of other curious specimens gathered throughout the length and breadth of this vast Do- minion. Scientists estimate the age of this turtle at 99 years. A DisUAL Plunge. â€" On Tuesday last while CharUe Sarjeant, of thig village, was driving horse and butcher cart for Berkeley and Holland Centre, as is his custom twice a week, while passing over the floating bridge on Allen's sink hole" the horse took fright and plunged off the bridge into the water. There being no railing and the bridge narrow there was no chance for escape, but horse and cart went souse into the "bottomless pit." CharUe leaping from his xerilous posi- tion and landing safelv ou the bridge was thus saved from what might have proved a watery grave. The horse and cart were almost completely under water and it was with difficulty that Charhe mani^ed to raise the animal's nose up sufficiently to get breath until assistance came, when the horse was hauled out, the cart also brought to land and tbe beef fished out of the water with a pitch- fork. Strange to say very little damage was done and brave Charlie proceeded on his journey none the worse of his ex- ploitr accept a bad eye, having struck a stump while leaping from the capcising cart. horse and is giving hisoyidence before he has agreed on any fair way of de- ciding this questior; he is claiming the money on tbe statement of two men who may turn out to be very interest- ed parties; what use are these when: we have books and certificates to g« by? Now for tbe B. M. be has, liter- ally speaking succeeded, in turning himself clean inside out; he makes a number of false assertions, be says I stooped to slander, c., I defy bim to prove that I ever slandered bis or any other hsrse, living or dead; his Garfield horse was a mongrel and I repeat tbe statement I made in reference to the Derby filly. By comparing letters your readers will find that he seems^ to have lost all respect for what be writes, when be speaks of me saying* my horse was elligable, c., again when he says people round Markdale' are patronizing o., and my colts are elligable c., Mr. Young neyer pre- tended to say that they were, be IS not so shallow, and again when be takes the credit of helping to bring tbe first really first-class horse to Mark- dale, does be mean Garfield or SirColin I would be afraid to say that tbe latter was a mongrel, that pleasant looking Hollander might knock tbe puff out- of me quicker than Mr. W. and bis B. M. together. As to this Garfield and Derby colts being tbe best that ever stood ou my place, I will say that Ihave offered tbe former to different parties this summer at $100 and have always been told it was too much money. About a year ago I sjld two at nearly twenty-per cent more, sometinfe after- wards I sold one that was from a $5 sire, at $100, later 1 sold two for over eighteen per cent more and 1 only paid $6.00 each for service of sire, and I retain a pair that I could haye sold for more than I got for any of tbe others. Tbe Derby filly will be sold when a year older unless they give better proof of tbe sire breeding than they have yet, simply becaut^e- knowing some facts relative to bim I cannot make tbe declaration necessary to count one cross. There are some fine men holding the position of Bus- iness Managers ui different institutions but I am afraid Lord Derby's B. M. has sadly fallen from grace lately. Asitis reported around to tbe damage ot my horses that I did not raise any colts this spring, it was very kind of Mr. Pickell to give me this chance of saying that it was not Just in Time's fault that I did not have two rattling good ones. Now Mr. editor if Mr. P. wants any more notice taken of auytbiug he may say ho will have to write jointly with Mr. "Wright, they seem to be equally interested in tbia horse and they certainly ought to be equally responsible for any false state- ment made by either.
