( TO ASSIST FARMERS With a view of assisting the farmers iirsolccling the best material for their dairy herds, Mr. Henry Rive and Mi*. V. Bjorscn are making a tour of the agricultural districts of the Fraser Valley. Testing station^ for the purpose of discovering the percentage of butter fat and other qualities of each individual animal" thus enabling the dairymen to. select only such cattle ~s will give tlie best results, "will be established at different points.

In nearly all cases the growing industries in these localities do away with the old-time steam method and adopt electric appliances to drive their various machines. . ��������� As an instance, of this the Western Canada Power -Company, whose large electric plant is -'situated at Stave Falls on the north bank of the Fraser River, and who supply nearly the whole Fraser- Valley ' with light and power are opening up a sub-station at Kilgard. From this new station light will be supplied to this rapidly growing community, as well ' as motive power for the Kilgard brick works. The s'cation-'ls" built' on the"'same lines as the Company's various substations throughout ��������� the Valley, being of metal sheating with a concrete floor. The building at Kilgard is already completed, with,all the machinery on the. spot - ready for installation.' On Wednesday last a number of employes from the central station at Mission City with their camp equipment and other paraphernalia passed through Abbotsford on,.their way >to put the 'finishing touches to the work and in the course of a few weeks the juice will be turned on. The same company which supply Abbotsford with light'and power have- their men busily engaged remodelling the present office here, and in the course of a few day's a number of new transformers will be installed to take the place of the present ones.^which are becoming inadequate to the increased demand for more light and power. GONE, BUT NOT FORGOTEN. My. Dan McGillivary, well known.in football circles and who for several years held a position in the grocery department of,.the Pioneer Store, left on Thursday to take up,a similar .position in Saskatchewan. \ ��������� \ ��������� "Dan's" genial smile will be missed- in Abbotsford as he was a prime favorite with all. Mr. W. Wells another well known Abbotsfordite, also left the same day on'a few weeks vacation to his people in Alberta. Mr. Dominy, of Rosedale, will also join the above two*and 'journey to hjs old liome on tho Prairie, where he intends to dispose of his iuterests there and then return to Rosedale where he has purchased a livery and feed stable there. He also intends Lo bring some thoroughbred stock b'ack with him. Mr. Domiriy knows va good cou'ntVy when he sees it. . "Dan" paid a parting .visit to, Mt.

It would appear that in many parts of the Dominion the demand for these useful and profitable animals is rapidly developing and that those who at present have any surplus stock can .find a ready sale for them if a channel of communication between supply and demand is established. Accordingly as a means of starting aK convenient Directory of Canadian Breeders of Angora Goats and Milch Goats, the Live Stock Commissioner will be pleased to receive from such breeders information regarding their respective flocks covering the following points: 1, Kind and number of goats kept. 2, Usual number for sale each year. 3, Approxpniately the price asked. 4, If possible a brief statement regarding expenses found necessary and the returns which-may be expected by one engaging in raising this class of stock. Communications supplying the above information, should be addressed to the Live Stock Commissioner, Ottawa, Out. Such leters do not require postage.

"��������� Our ShibbolcUi-Neithor for nor agin the government. Friday, April 4, 1913 Have you registered that vote yet? It might be worth money to you. The general financial head of the United States has passed away, leaving thousands of dollars for some .one else to finance better or worse for the community. It would be a good idea for us poor fellows if all the money reverted back to the government above a certain amount and to be spent in building roads and bridges throughout the country. Some day the same would happen when some British Columbian millionaire passed away, if that were also law in this country. But then in the meantime there is a whole lot of work and thinking in many of us yet. whose mission it was to teach the science of business and city building to all parts of the British Empire ;nt? besides a number of carcases. . The supply of eggs has been very noticeably decreased, butter, ever, in the same department still remains steady in both supply, and 'demand. The market was attended by a splendid array of shippers this morning and all household, commodities, flowers and foodstuffs met with a brisk demand. The supply of meats was somewhat .larger although prices were seemingly not affected. In all departments the proximity of spring was noticeable, more fresh meats", less eggs and poultry, and the supply of greens and fresh fish, heralding the arrival of springtide. Cut flowers, rose bushes, bedding pansies and wall- These words mean different things to different peo- .. pie Takentogether they will, in a measure, . describe for all the.people- the quality of . His first contention was that a city.������ flowers and seed potatoes also spoke posed not of houses but men.j this fact aiid the demand for the produce in its briskness recalled the markets of the middle months. A good supply of duck eggs for hatching purposes were offered at 50 and 75 cents, respectively, and buy- were found at both prices. An un- cessfully lis citizens, weak cities ��������� (From Fraser Valley Record) In regard to the lighting of the town there is no person laying any blame to;-the Western Canada Power Company, because the light is in darkness. The committee having the matter in hand asked the company to turn off the lights that is the reason why they we're turned off. It is generally understood that the'lights would still be)THE burning if tlie committee had delayed instructions. There is however, no blame attached to the committee as this paper believes they.were acting as the majority of the people thought was right, but did not see where the money was coming from/ The committee were not authorized by any power to keep the lights on when it was not known how they were to be paid for. The fault all lies in the fact that a bill was not made law at the last session to enable the provincial assessors of the town and other unorganized dis- , tricts of the . province where light could be had to pay for it in this way. Of course it was an oversight, there is but. little doubt, unless it be the fact that the provincial government are asking us in this manner to incorporate. But then they are treating us so'well in respect to building streets' and sidewalks- in the town that the majority of the property holders do not feel like incorporation f-.t the present time. 1 There are many little towns in the province���������several in the Fraser valley, placed in exactly the same position as Mission City���������too young for incorporation, but yet needing all the requirements and conveniences that would be forthcoming if they were in the proper position to incorporate. v/us L.oinp and that in order to build a city suc- it was necessary to build up "Build weak men and would result; crooked men' and a crooked city will follow. The value of a citizen to his city was not to be measured by what-he spoke or did, or by his reputation, but by his character. To build up a man attention must be given to physical development, for, though the body was not as important as the brain, well developed physical powers. And greater .than ���������jither body or brain was the soul." The great thing to do, continued the speaker, was to, find out the point in which each citizen was lacking and put that right. Often a small change would mean the difference between the failure and the successful man. The self-reliant man so far from being afraid of obstacles, welcomed them as opportunities of showing his power to overcome them. All that cities needed to become better cities, greater cities, was more-'men, better men, and they mus^t strive to see that they were building such men in'Victoria.

TO BUILD A CITY BUILD CITIZEN THE London, March 17���������The newest of all Europeans countries js far and away the tiniest. Its name is Mount Athos, and it only came into existence a week or two ago, when the ambassadors of the Powers decided that, however else the Balqan question is settled, Mount Athos is to be an independent holy republic. It is a mountain twice as high as Ben Nevis, near Salonika, and is certainly unique among the countries of Europe in the fact that no woman has set foot in it for five centuries. When, some years ago, the Queen of Rou- mania announced her intention of visiting it, the rulers of the holy mountain threatened to commit suicide if she persisted. The new republic, which has a little seacoast of its own, holds another record. .It is the only state in Europe who national income is obtained solely by selling cruscifixes, rosaries, amulets, and similar holy objects. As Mount Athos contains 21 monasteries, the export is quite a large one. The least known o,f the other pocket countries of Europe is San Marino, in the heart of Italy. It also is a mountain, surrounded on three sides by perpendicular cliffs. It possesses nearly J.00 castles with an army of about one man to each castle. The last :me San Marino was at war was when one general and 23 men t solemnly marched out to assist Napoleon, who received them with full military honors.

Chickens wore more scarce although the prices in this department remained the same, as iast week. Although the supply of apples were not lurge, several boxes . changed rands at. prices ranging from $1 to $1.25, some securing the latter figure. In the vegetable department prices uf potatoes remained stationery at from $S to $12 a ton, seed potatoes selling for $10.'

With the diminishing supply of eggs on the market, caused, it is said, by the reservation of eggs for hatching purposes and the cessation of the importation of the commodity from the States, a strong tendency to, strengthen was noticed in the price of eggs at the weekly market this last week, and some of the farmers exp'ress the opinion that the price of 35 cents per dozen would prevail next week.

PROFIT IN KINDNESS. Speak to a Cow As You Would to a Lady. Too few breders and dairy farmers give the needed recognition to the basis on which the dairy industry is founded���������the motherhood of the animal furnishing the milk. One of the most successful of the early "Wisconsin dairymen had for his motto, "Speak to a cow as you would to a lady;" and when he was asked if he removed his hat when entering the stable door in the morning, he replied that he certainly would if he could get more milk thereby, writes a contributor to Farm and Home. What owner, especially in''testing, has not noticed that some one of his milkers are liable to get more milk from the cows than were the other milkers. It is the personal equation the regard the cow has for her attendant, that gives hand milking an advantage over the, machine; and the more nearly the cow has adopted her milker in, the place of her calf, the greater will be his success as a milker. There is usually a vast difference in results between the milker who gets a cow into position by pushing the leg of the stool into her flank and then kicks her on the shin to make her step back, and the one, who gains the same end with , patience and gentleness. Who can blame the cow for ���������wanting to kick, the first man? Aside from the knowledge of how to feed in general and the study of the special wants of the individual cows, to attain the greatest success a man must win the affection of the cows. Some will say that this cannot be done. But if the calf and growing yearling is treated gently and kindly, and then is stabled and handled before freshening like a cow, there will be no such thing, as breaking the heifer to milk; she will take it as the regular thing.
