so much pleasure to us all.

The following gentlemen were the sue
cessful contestants for the prize np?nei
offered by the Union Oil and Manufacturing
Company for the b-st yield oi
wheat from one acre fertil:/.-d with th<
products of the Uuiou Oil and Mann

The first prize of $25 00 was won b\
Mr. J. W. Cunniirghatn, of Jot.esvilh
township, who harvested 40] bushel;
from an acre. The second pr.zo o1
$15 00 went to I lades liobo, of Cross
Ke>s, who got 05 J bushels, and the thud
prize of $10 00 was won by Mr A li
Osltorne, of Union, with 1{5 bushels.
This annual offer of this company ol
fifty dollars prize money should b? ar
incentive to all our farmers to make h
try for it. One of the troubles with out
farmers i3 that thev are slow to take advantage
of the oppor'unities that lie ii
their path. We are informed by the
president these three m si were the only
ones who showed up. There were p-?s
sibly others who had made a trial hut
finding that these had a better yield did
not report. It. is very evident that onl\
a few made an tamest effort to win th<
prizes, wlnle every farmer in the count}
