For ordinary purposes of preserva- tion land plaster or pulverized M- ourn ehoula be freely eprinitled over the droppings and thoroughly mixed with them before they are stored in barrette. If land plaster is not avail- able, good loam or dry muck will answer admirably. Sandy soil has very little value as a preservative of poul- try manure. The droppings should be stored in a cold, dry place until they are needed. ° To avoid lea it is advisable to clean off the droppings boards once A day, as each practice is also much better for the fowls.; it is also a wiser course because when large aecumulations of droppings are allowed to remain on the roosts the escaping ammonia is a source of aiscomfort and injury to the row's, as well as a loss in the feet!. lizer value of the dung. Nearly all authorities agree that hen manure is of much more value as a plant food than ordinary farm man.. ures, and this is due t� the fact that its nitrogen is in a much more avail- able form. When used in the garden It should. be applied in small quanti- ties as compared with other manures. KAINIT AND SAWDUST. Besides land plaster or loam, a mix- ture of kainit and sawdust in the pro- portion of about 15 pounds sawdust, 54 pounds kainit to 60 pounde of hen manure, it is claimed will keep the dung in excellent condition, so that it can be readily broken up for use as fertilizer. Hen manure whien has been etored with the simple addition of hind plaster or loam should be mixed with wood ashes before being used as a land dreesing. Some experienced gar- deners recommend that for every bushel of a mixture of then manure and loam, equal parts, cne bushel of wood ashes be added. This mixture Is moistened- a little occasionally and turned over frequently to fine it be - Tore ming. It is claimed that this makes a powerful forcing manure which should be used sparingly in drills. The Main Experiment Station re- commende the following as a well-bal- anced fertilizer: Thirty pounds hen • manure, 10 pounds. sawdust, 15 pounds acid phosphate, 8 pounds kainit. It states that this ueed at the rate of two tons per acre would furntsh about 60 pounds nitrogen, 85 pounds phosphoric acid and 80 pound e potash. AS GOOD AS GUANO. Poultry manure is equal as a ferti- lizer to the beat article of Peruvian Guano, and, if properly cared for un- der ateVer; ie worth as much as Paci- fic guano, whin before the tear sold at $50 per ton, Profeesor Norton saYa that 300 pounde of well -kept lien man- ure are equal in value to 14 (or 12 two.horsc) loads of stable manure.

It is rich in all the fertilizing elements, but, es- pscially so in nitrogen, whieh is due cretions are semi-solid, and veSded with solid excrements. Poultry manure ferments easily, and is quick acting. It loses nitrogen and ammonia very easily if not prowly tared for. It shoulht be kept dry, and, Le possible, also mlxed with some ab- aorbent and preservative. Aeid phos. phate, phosphate rock, plaster and dry earth are good materlan for this pur- pose. Hardwood a& es (excepting as stated above), ordi-eary slaked lime and such alkaline tnaterials, should be avoided, as they will liberate the ammonia, and. cause it to be lost. A hen will produce thirty to forty potinds of manure in a year. and a tur- key from forty to sixty pounds. The weekly droppings of 3, flock or, say, 25 'hens, when scraped from the roosting platforms should be mixed With about eight pounds of kainit, or acid phosphate and a half peck of sew - dust. If one desires a balanced fete tilizer for form and other hoed crops, a miXture of equal parts of kohnt and avid phosphates could be used. Good dry meadow muck or peat would be equally as good as sawdust, if not bet- ter, to use as an absorbent. - NOTES.

I THE TSTIVISHIAN lYklitholegy of the Tribe Explained in Bureau Report. `The bureau of American ethnology has issued as part of its thirty-firat an- nual report a comprehensive article on the mythology of the Tsimshian Indi- ans, Considerable information is re- corded concerning these Indians them- selves, their life, social Organizations, alphabet, music, religious ideas and Practices, and their folklore, which is a part of the mythology of America. In this connection the author, Dr. Franz Boas, honorary philogist of the bureau of American ethnology, shows the bearing of the Tsimshian mytnology on general mythical concepts and in relation to the manner or dissemina tion in Northwestern America. Among a number of these interest- ing myths recorded en the volume is a peculiar tale concerning a Yonng In- slian hunter who has a wooden Wife. It seems that once upon a. time a certain Indian hunteee who was also an expert woodworker, had a very capable young wife, whom he loved dearly. She was especially adept at weaving the native dancing garments and blankets, then much in vogue, from yarn spun from the wool of mountain sheep killed by her husband. Shortly after their marriage, while they were on a hunting trip, the wife was taken ill In the midst of her weaving, and soon edied. Before she passed away, however. she veiled her husband to her and said. "My dear husband, keep your lovefor me after I am dead. Don't go home too soon!" The husband, deeply grieved, follow- ed her dying wish, He even kept the dead body until he was forced to bury it. and then he carved an image of his wife out of red cedar, which he set before the partly finished dancing rai- ment, still hanging where it was left by his late wife. So cunning was this woodman -artisan that he arranged the wooden figures of his lay-fifure- wife in the threads of the unfinished gar- ment, so that she appeared to be bus-• ily-engaged in its construction. Not only that. he even contrived a clever system of manipulating the figure; when the door was opened its head turned toward him and he - Pretended that his wife -image could speak. Although this fact had been reported in the village, the story never occur- red to two runaway Indian maidens who chanced to arrive at the hunter's camp guarded solely by his wooden wife. Peering through a knot -hole they beheld a woman apparently weav- ing, and being very hungry, opened the door to ask for food. As the door opened, the head of the figure before the weaving frame turned to look at them, so they asked for a little food, but the _figure paid no attention to their inquiry. Only the fingers, twist- ed in the yarn, moved. "That is not a living being!" ex- claimed the older sister. "I will go near and look" So she approached the silent figure saying, "Will you give us a little food, elder sister?" at the same time touching it on the shoulder, which proved to be wood, The mys- tery was revealed to them and they laughed.—this was the wooden figure of which they had heard. Soon they heard the hunter return- ing to camp, and bid themselves in a corner behind some dried meat,. to await developments. He whistled as he drew near, although his load was very heavy and he was tired. "Come out, my dear," he called to his wooden wife, and look at this, indicating his pack of meat and ,fat. Then be replied to himself, imitattng his wife, "Not so, my dear, I cannot, because my yarn is twisted about my fingers." After say- ing this, the hunter ran to his wife, embraced and kissea her, telling her that she was very handsome. Where- upon the two young women laughed at him -In secret, but lie heard them and thein out from their hiding Once. Strangely enough, he is not angry, but spread a grizzly pear skin for them to sit on, and eooked them many things to eat. The eider sister ate a great deal of everything that night, but the younger sister, being afraid, ate very sparingly, fortunately Or her, as the elder Sister Was Ill in the Morn- ing, and did not get up. 'This amused the hunter, and he made fun of her, caling to her to get tip and partake of the breakfast he had prepared. The younger sister arose, but the eider sis- ter Cried, she was so ashamed. In the Meantime, the hunter seems to heve fallen iti love with the younger sister, for now he Rented her to Marry him. Tine elm agreed to t10, If lie would promise to destroy his wooden wife, and never to reveal the fact that nee sister was Bich hem overeating. The hunter preinised, out eXtracted her assurance that she would not tell what he had done with the Wooden figure, "Then," continues the myth, pub- lished by the bureau of American eth- nolegy, "they were married." And, in fact, it is readily assumed that they lived "happily ever after," for so the ,Story reveals: wile young woman was wise and kinds and proved a better wife than the first, espeeially in weaving. Eventually gieWing very Nein the hunter returned to his native Village, where lie gave a great jeast, built a large house and finally became head ehief of hie generation. "Titan" tenelutlee title Indian tale, It th. linad,"seikeloinge, e Acquisition of Csnadiau Nor. thorn Imposes Burden of Unknown Windniutde. The 'following criticism of the policy of the Government in respect of the Canadian Northern Itallevay is made: The Government bill to authorize the purchase by it of the capital stock of the Canadian Northern Railway Is lialt way through the House of Cern- mon O and will snortly be in the Sen- ate. If it becomes law, it will impose on Canada, at a time when, the country is under an unprecedented strain, beirden of unknown magnitude. Ono certainly greater than aoy ever before imposed upon this country, with the exception of the war debt. The purchase of a definite piece of railway property is one thing. The buying of etcialt in a company with unascertained assets and unknown s liabilities Is another, Once the Gov- ernment becomes the principal owner of the common stock, it must provide out of loans or taxes for .all debts of the railway due or to become due and for all future losses in operating. The estimates of expenditure still necessary to be made run into enorm- ous figures. No one knows what the real extent of its obligations are. The railway has bonds outstanding and debts unpaid; so have its sub- sidiaries. There are guarantees given by it to other companies, unpaid bal- ances on contracts and upon ac- count, but to what extent is unknown. What its assets are is equally un; known. It operates and is interested in railway -companies, land companies, telegraph companies, tunnel companies, lumbercompanies, and hotel com- panies,. but no one knows how far it owns thiem, what their assete or lia.- bilitimare, nor to what extent the railway company is responsible for their liatbilities. No other railway company nor any other group or businesd men would consider such an acquisition except after elaborate examination and re- portsifrorn accountants and appraisers on the meets and liabilities., and then only subject to a\solvent guar- antee that all supposed ,assets would be delivered and that neandisclOsed debtsor obligations would appear. To find out these things, where suLti examination and guarantee catinot be had,, the usual courseln the United States has been to 'place 4 -the road in the hands of a receiver, evhose staff can ascertain them and place them before those interested an accurate and clear statement. Systems quite as large, notably thelUnion Pacific, the Atenison, Topeka &-1\ Santa Fe, and the Rock Island, have In' the United States been through this %process and have emerged from if with capital written down to correspond to the actual Values, Inca solvent condition and able to per/form their duties as Public servants. The only examination so far had into the affairs of the Canadian Northern has resented in the opinion of two out of three railway experts that the stock proposed to be pur- chased was everth nothing. This Means that whatever its nothinal value may be, the unsecured debts are more than enough to prevent its eyeing sold to any. reasonahly prudent purchaser. In vtew of the fan that no money was paid to thelcompany for the stock and that the company has never been able to earn anything upon it, there was and is no reason to expect any other result from examination, No agreement or obligation to pur- chase is produced.' In fact, nothing has transpirel except verbally and then between neembers.of the Govern- ment not named and persons whoee names are not disclosed. In fact, what is "to be paid, who is to get paid for it, what the'cost and the of- tendant obligations are, no one knOws, The smallest transaction in common life could not be concluded in such a way, and any attempts to do it by trustees responsible to a court would unquestionably be a broach a trust, ant this is the largest and most on- erous undertaking ever eon tempiated by any Canadian G'overinnent, and the moat risky. It is safe to say that no road capitalized above its earning power can ever be a useful. nubile servant, nor can any road bought by a Geverinnent for more than its worth ever be anything but a continuous drain on the tax payer. The Canadian Northern Railway was built as a private epeenlatton. Its bonds were sold to financiers at a discount, No money was received into its treasury for its stock. Noth- ing has been made public which would justify the taking of other citizens of this country for the pur- pose of giving fictitious value to these SHOE POLISFIES JO § qtlAcK-WHITE-TAN- E. F.

We print in another column a. pro- tea againet the purchase of the Can - rattan Northern Railway signed by many of the leading capitalists of „Montreal, and thia, protest is not • lightly to be disregarded. The point at issue is this, is the country to take over a burden that other shoulders should bear? Will the ownership of the Canadian Northern impoze upon ithe people a financial obligation avoidable without danger to national intereste'e if the Government was in- volved from the enterprise,, the an- swer ie easy. Like any Other bast - nese undertaking the property ehould stew in its own juice, and undergo the eourse of liquidation through re- ceivership, emerging therefrom in stronger condition in reaped of lia- bilities both of .eurrent and of capi• tal account.

They are not desirable In the pantry during periods of warm weath. cr as high temperatures will start incu- bation. Eggs in the first stage of de- cay are not riesirable for human food. It is an easy matter to prevent the fertilization of eggs. If the male bird le just as ordinary one, an axe and a block of weed will prevent further nes- chief.
