JOHN COLIN FORBES R. C. A.
Canada's Great Portrait Painter.
The artist who was commissioned by the Canadian Government to, paint
the portraits of King Edward and Queen .11exandra for the Dominion' House of
Parliament, and w•bo was honored with sittings by their \fajt•sties in the early
part of this year, is John Colin Forbes who hada long trail of succexee$ in his
sixty years.
lion in Toronto of Scotch -English parents he was elscated at l.'pper C'anaada
('ollege in his native city, and at as early age phownl'ihe first,faidt dawning,e
of his artistic genius, He was entirely self-taught, following with the son' instinct
of true power along the lines of natural developneeytt, and silently working out
his own destiny until he produced his first read- 'so n portrait of his father.
This revealed so commanding an exhibit of his ability tat he was want to study
at the South lienaington Mustum and hater at the.lt.y 1 Academy in London.

adian Liberal party sent him to England to paint a full-length purtrait'of Glad-

his work has been done in the t'nittd States where be has made portraits of many
of the leading men of the country. '
Fire and water have been merciless in.fhcir pursuit of Mr. Forbes. When
the steamer "llitiernia" went down in mid -ocean in Ilihn it carried with it ionic
of his beet paintings and he Rarely escaped with his life, and his famous painting
of the work was destroyed by' fire in 1579. 'In three later fires the work of years

GEESE FOR FARMERS.
Pere Bred steel. More Profitable
Tama *rub Blade.
In these days of utility poultry it,
stents strange so natty farmers stf;l
kt*p what may be called "just geese'
--bird,' of no particular breed that
have descended for generations iu the
locality and for this reason only ere
respected, writes John Malcolm in
American n A
griculturist. It is high
Ilmp to awake to the fact that such
bifcl% are lees profitable than well bred
Mock. In proportion to the amount of
food they consume they yield far Ie.a
in meat and feathers, and both these
are of poorer quality tbau in the case
of well bred birds. Again, they geuer-
ally lay fewer eggs and consequently
produce smaller !locks of gosling+, and
these are more difficult to bring • to
goon Marketable size and quality than
pure stock. In short, there is no com-
mon sense reason for` breeding from
em whet a few dollar; expeudtd for
sodic birds se for a sitting of eggs
would lay the foundation of a far
more profitable flock, an expenditure
that would be many times repaid the
arab year the birds rear goslings, tier -
haps eyeu before, by the sale of sur-
plus ganders.
The most popular breeds of geese are
Toulottsr. Embden and t'hiuese. The
Toulouse is the largest. Birds often ex- -
ceed the standard welght of- eighteen
aad twenty pounds for the young mid
old gander respectively and tlfteeu and
ei[lteaen pounds for the young and old
geese. They are gray of various shades,
lighter below than above, abdomens
white. 'l'he females lay eighteen to
twenty-four eggs while young, thirty
to forty when old. They are *Meter
Mau most other breed,' and are better
suited than others to places where wa-
ter is seance_ Though treat popular,
this breed is sot "o highly valued for
market as some others, Ifbden geese
do not as often petrel the standard
welgbts as the Toulouse, though the
standards are the same. They are
white. ,In comparison with Toulouse
they are inferior layers, but dress bet-
ter for market. In this respect they ex-
cel all other breeds.
Standard weights of Chinese geese
are ten and fourteen pounds for gan-
ders, young and old respectively, and
eight wad twelve pounds for geese.
Tbey are of two varieiiea, brown and
white. The brown are very fecund.
Tliey lay forty to fifty eggs a year.
Theme are noted for their fertility.
This breed ham the reputation of being
hard to plot•► and to make presentable
iu the• market. The white are some
what smaller than tlxe brown, last are
aaperier to thew IA market birds. Au
objection Is that, though tee females
are excellent layers, they often by in-
fertile eggs. Another bred kept more
or lees is the African. its standard
weight, as the same as the Toulouse.
The birds are gray, not as good layers
as Toulouse, hut better than Embden.
An objection raised against then, Is
that their dark pinfeathers, dowu and
dark skin snake dressing dinlcult, par-
ticularly with old birds, and the ap-
pearance is decidedly, inferior to that
of white breeds.
Winter Poultry Keept•s-
]Keep your henhouse warm and give
warm food, seen an small potatoes boil-
ed, mixed with bran, fine meal and a
little ground meat, writes A. V.
Neertich in Western Poultry Journal.
Stir thoroughly and let cool if boiling
hot Give plenty of freak water, not
too cold. It fa a good rule to put char-
coal in the water once or twice a week.
Do not forget ground oyster or ether
shell as grit; also plenty of scratching
material, such as hayseed or chaff.
Give bot corn at night before going
to roost. Ile sure to close the henhouse
door every night, so that they will not
get out too early in the morning. If
bene get lousy in winter, grease their
wings, rump, head and neck; clean and
spray roosts with crude carbolic acid,
a pint to about ten gallons of water.

Pruning Dewberries,
The most common wry of managing
dewberry plants 1s to drive a sake
three or four feet high between two
hills and tie the young canes from each
hill to the top of the stake, cutting
their loose wide back to about ono foot
above the stake. The fruit h then
borne above the now growth, kept
clean and can be easily picked. The
young canes are allowed to run over
the ground at will during the grhwing
season and the next year aro tied to
the top of the stake, while the old
fruiting ones are cut away,—Rural
New Yorker,
Cheap Isotbed.
A cheap and easily made hotbed
much in use by extensive growers may
be made as follows: Cut all the posts
twelve inches long and nail the side
boards on, allowing them to project an
inch over the end posts; then nail in
the end boards, which give a level top
when set up. When the bed is set up
ready to nil, one able is tilted, resting
the posts on blocks or bricks, which
gives the necessary slant to carry off
the water when the sashes are placed
on. This bed gives very satisfactory re:
sults, but of course is not a "thing of
beauty."
Fall Pigs.
Generally speaking. many farmers
fall to make money out of fall pigs be.
cause they do not handle them rightly.
They put them in a pen and feed them
OA corn to the exclusion of all other
diet unless it may be a little milk or .,
pail of kitchen refuse once or twice a
day and then wonder how anybody ran

wonder tdo.—Farm Progreas.

connection with horizontal bars, which connection
makes sidewise slipping of the stays next to impossible.
Very materially aids adjustal:ility, the fence readily
conforming to the ground surface regardless 'of grade.
Expansion 'add Contraction --Tension Curves
Tension curves are placed six inches apart in all
horizontal bars, adding largely to the natural elasticity
of the steel, rendering tho ence self-adjusting under
various conditions such as contraction and expansion
(rue to changes of temperature, hot and cold weather,
climbing, sudden pressure and other strains.
Years of experience In the manufacture of American fence, at-
tended with enormnu.'salea, have demonstrated beyond 'mention that
we hey.. thin problem figured right and that the tension curve, with
the hinge joint feature, keeps the fend• right tinder all cireuindancpt,
every day of the year, and as long an the poets stand in position.
