No on ~. $1.27 NEW HIGH â€"~__IN CHICAGO . VOL. 47, NO 29 2 All grains, wheat, corn, oats, rye, barley,â€" were wanted by speculators, who acted as if this were their last chance to buy. ‘Prading was not a noisy scramble, as has so often been the case, but was an orderly affair. . Without a Pause ‘The epeculators were not l;l?-lll for profite. Wheat, for example, opened elightly higher and then proâ€" weeded to march right on up the hill, almost without a pause, until a maxiâ€" mum advance of 6 1â€"8 cents a bushel had been recorded. ‘Then the market reacted a cent or more. At the close, the maximum gaings were just under 4 cents a bushel, with the new deâ€" livery at $1.26. _ Al Grains Get Taste of Prosâ€" perity.â€"Liquor Stocks _ Wheat for deivery next May sold at $1.27 1â€"4 a bushel, with a maxiâ€" mum advance of 5 cents a bushel. The advance in wheat was startâ€" ling enough, but was overshadowed by the action of barley. Quietly and with no more fuss than wheat, barley prices advanced 12 cents a bushel in the short space of two hours and every step of the gain was made by 1â€"4 cent and 1â€"2 cent jumps. . The prophets were all wrong when they predicted "$1.25 wheat by Sept. 1," because that price was passed on Monday. BC The December delivery opened at 78 1â€"4 cents and never stopped risâ€" ing until it hit a peak of 83 1â€"2 cents, which was 110 3â€"4 cents higher than Suturday‘s close. Not only wheat and barley, but rye, corn and oats enjoyed a taste of prosperity. â€" â€" â€" Liquor stocks also showed a sharp advance.

Gillies of Teeswater, without a word picked u;})l a .44 calibre rifle and went to the stable, where he shot to death a heavy draught horse which had won many show ribbons. Then Watson disappeared, and later his body was found beside the rifie in a field.

Martin of the Crops and Markets Branch, Parliament Buildings, Toronto, isâ€" sued a note of warning about a very dangerous plant known as Water Hemlock, sometimes called Spotted Cowbane, Musquash, and Beaver Poison. Weed â€" Inspector Emphasizes Danger to Cattle from Cowbane. Thig plant which grows from from three to six feet in height is a perennial. It sénds forth new stems every spring and is now in full bloom. It looks like elderberry, wild carrot and caraway, and is usually found along waterways or besides wet marshy places. ~, _ . This plant should never Pe harâ€" vested in hay as it is very poisonâ€" ous to cattle. The roots are aromatic and seem attractive to live stock. The roots contain a very strong poison called cicutoxin. _ A whole family was poisoned in Quebec last l)."e:u'. A boy died from eating it this year in Guelph. _A farmer in Waterloo Township lost five cattle from it this year. This plant should be dug up and destroyed. Col. F. H. Deacon Says They Can‘t Protest Loss of Compensation. ‘*FARMER HAD 10 YEARS TO TEST HERD FOR Tâ€"B‘ Little concern was felt at Toronto about the announcement Saturday before the Ontario Whole Milk Proâ€" ducers‘ Association in Ottawa that the Bennett government had "indeâ€" finitely" discontinued the payment of compeneation for cattle destroyed as tuberculous. Toronto has no producers, so that the only ones seriously affected by this abandonment of the governâ€" ment‘s compensation policy will be the farmers who have not yet had their cows tested. According to Col. F. H. Deacon, breeder, "farmers have had ample opportunity in the past ten years to test their cows and they haven‘t any real ‘kick‘ coming, if they didnt take advantage of the pportunity the government offered," he sald. "It‘s only an emergency measureâ€"perhape it will teach the farmer a lesson." Distributors rely upon‘ pasteurizaâ€" tion to protect their milk from im purities. o Packers are not affected because every animal sold is tested both beâ€" fore and after it is killed that there is no possibility of impure meat being sold. wWOMAN‘8 WILES WIN BATTLE WITH FISH; 92â€"POUNDER CAUGHT At Petawawa July lith a huge sturgeon ,weighing more than 92 pounds and measuring 5 feet 10 inches in length, was caught in the Petawawa River by Mrs. Harold Ross.
