THURSDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1899. AMONG THE POULTRY. Do not feed too much soft fee& Keep four ducks to one drape; Never use imperfcet fowls for breed- ing. Feed nhilk and bran for growth, milk and meal to fatten. Generally, the better the scratcher the better the layer. 'When you get ready to fatten fowls, do the work quickly. Separate the corks from the bens; irliey molt better alone. Game chickens, given a free range, are in danger of being overfed. Get rid of the hens you do not in- tend to keep through the winter. Rens require a variety of food; they get excessively tired of one kind. The most successful fanciers are those who keep one or two breeds. Hens should be killed when they are three years old; they lay few eggs after that. Grain is sufficient in lime and lain. eras matter, but bran is -rich in nitro- gen and carbon.. Scalding fowls before picking parti- ally cooks the delicate skin, rendering it dry and wrinkled. Tbete never was, and never will be, A universal panacea, in one remedy, for ;11 ills to which flesh is heir—the very nature of many curatives being such that were the germs of ether and differently seated diseases rooted in the system of the patient what would relieve one ill in turn would aggravate the other. We bane, however, in Quinine Wine, when, obtainable in a sound unadulterated state, a remedy for many and grevious ills. By its gradual and judicious use, the frailest systems are led into convalescence and strength, by the influence which '. ni- nine exerts on Nature's own restoratives. Itrel eves the drooping spirits of those with whom a chronic state of morbid des- ondency and lack of interest in life is a sliseace, and, by tranquilizing the nerves, ,disposes to sound and refreshing sleep— imparts vigor to the action of the blood, which, being stimulated, courses through- out the veins, strengthening the healthy animal functions of the system, thereby making activity a necessary result, ,strengthening the frame, and giving life to the digestive organs, which naturally demand increased substance --remit, im- 'Troved appetite. Northrop & Lyman of oronto, have given to the public their superior Quinine Winn at the usual rate, and, gauged by the opinion of scientists this wine approaches nearest perfection of :any in the market. .All druggists sell it. Shan 1? bt.In the English Army. Mock fights are common in English. service, where troops aro taught how to march, charge, retreat, form in lineof battle, and do all the things which are likely to be required in act- ual warfare, except to kill the suppos- ed enemy. The soldiers take great de- light in it. Many persons suffering from rheuma- tism have been permanently cured by 3iiller's Compound Iron Pills. Co-operative Workmen. A little more than 50 years ago a few workmen at Rockdale, joined to- gether to purchase a sack of floor and a chest of tea. That was the begin- ning of a co-operative movement, which now includes 1,000 societies, with a total membership of 1,000,000. Great Things from Little Causes Grow. —It takes very little to derange the stom- ach. Tlie cause may be slight, a cold, something eaten or drunk, anxiety, worry or some other simple cause. But if pre- cautions be not taken, this simple cause may have most serious consequences. leiany a chronically debilitated constitu- tion to -day owes its destruction to simple causes not dealt with in time. Keep the digestive apparatus in healthy condition and all will be well. Parmelee's Vege- table Pills are better than any other for the purpose. Millions of Stars. The most wonderful astronomical photograph in the world is that which has recently been prepared by London, Berlin and Parsian astronomers. It is claimed to show at least 68,000,000 stars. Health for the children. Miller's Worm Powders. Don't Lilco Even Numbers. The Siamese have so strong a super- stition against even numbers that they will have none of them. The number sof rooms in a house, of windows or doors in a room, even of rungs on a ladder must all be odd.

Horses' tails are protected from mud and rain inet w weather b a newly y designed gn d c over,. consisting of a tubular sack of rubber or other waterproof material. The great lung healer is found in that excellent medicine sold as Bickle's Anti 1Consnmptive Syrup. It •soothes and di- minishes the sensibility of the membraue of the throat and air passages, and is a sovereign remedy for all coughs, colds, hoarseness, pain or soreness in the chest, bronchitis, etc. It has cured many when supposed to be far advanced in consump- tion.

Views of Mr. wililanas .Who Sias Spent Twely* Years in Sautia Africa. Mr. P. H. 'Williams, now living in Montreal, spent twelve years in Natal, South Africa, and is enthusiastic as to the country's natural resources and climate, The generally perturbed condition of things which, owing to impending war, then existing, led him to leave Natal for his native country, Eng- land, about a year ago, and business interests subsequently attracted hint to Montreal. It is, however, his intention to re- turn to South Africa when this little unpleasantness has been Adjusted by General Sir Redvers Buller. Mr. Williams thinks Dr. Ledya a distinctly untrustworthy person. Greatly Kruger's superior in, edam - tion, he is subtle and circuitous, and, in the opinion of many residents ite Natal. needs watching. When asked if Mr. Kruger was as ugly as his pictures. some of which present a face that is frog -like in its squat propositions, blinding eyes and vast mouth, Mr. Willialnsreplzed that he was uglier than the ugliest of them, and the Railirs, niways quick to strike upon physical traits, and give their own name to the whites, shave one more than seven words long to distin- guish them. The Kaffir name for Mr. Wililains himself, translated into Eng- lish is, briefly: "The little father frons, above the clouds who could kill the lot of us." Of the Boers, ltlr. Williams says that their hatred of the natives has shown itself in treatment which has been, to his personal knowledge, cruel in the extreme. And he thinks that General Buller will have, as the war proceeds, serious trouble in suppres- sing their eagerness to, as be says, "have ago at the Boers." OPPRESSORS OI`' THE BLACKS. He says that he has often seen little Kaffir boys, guilty of nothing more serious than a perfectly unconscious irritation of some Boer, whose cattle team, 22 strong, he was, according to custom, guiding, beaten terribly, and not a, little of the Boer hatred of Eng- land has its origin in her just attitude toward the blacks, and the knowledge that under the shadow of the Union Tack there is respect for the black man's rights. Mr. Williams does not understand the Free State's co-opera- tion with the Transvaal, except on the grotuld of fear, for the reason that on numberless occasions — notably three years ago— when the Boers of the latter undertook to steal the farmers' cattle and ven- tured to get into the Free State by way of Natal, the British Govern- ment came to the rescue of the -plun- dered Free State and warned the Boers of the Transvaal that in the future they must reckon with it for the crime of theft. Their ingratitude, it is be- lieved, grows out of a fear of the Transvaal Boers, who Mr. Williams characterizes as capable of great cruel- ty where their own interests are in- volved. He says that the British in Natal are the most hospitable people in the world and that the boys will get a rousing welcome upon their arri- val. This, he states, is the hot season in South Africa, the heat becoming more intense as Christmas approaches. Christmas Day is usually the hottest day of the year. The drinking water is largely rain water, and is, on the whole, bad, so that a too free use of it is a dangerous thing, especially for strangers to the climate. It superin- duces a very fatal form of dysentery, from which deaths often occur in 24 hours, so that newcomers should be ex- tremely careful in this particular. Mr. Williams thiol; ; this a very real dan- ger anger for the Bietisle. forces to overcome, especially at this seaon of the South African9 ear. " The Boers are, he says, exceedingly dirtypeople, and da not wash more than once a year, on their birthdays. With their long pipes they literally wallow in their wagons as they go fromplace to place through the coun- try. and the wonder is that long be- fore this disease has not exterminated.. them, Their hatred of the English is inexplicable except through the spirit of the dog in the manger. They will not permit others to do what they themselves are too lazy and unenter- prising to do in. connection: with the mines, and it is, in the war now pro- ceeding, according to Mr. Williams, a case of "benefits forgot" on many occasions, of by -gone need. When the to Boers were in a s to of starvation through Rinderpest and the locust plague, the people of Natal sent them between ten and twelve thousand pounds to aid them and a large amount was also sent from Clap* Colony.

THEY FREQUENTLY COME BACK AGAIN WITH INCREASED SEVERITY AFTER BEING REMOVED BY OPERATION. The statistics of operations for cancer show that fully 85 per cent,. of all cancers removecl by the knife re burn usually with- in a year after the operation is performed and with rapidly fatal resnits. Such auappalling record of failure should he enough to make ancone, who is suffering from this dread disease, hesi- tate and ponder well his chances before submitting g himself to the knife. As Dr. Walsh, the eminent, surgeon, apt- ly puts it, "Excision of a cancerous tumor seems to awaken a dormant force and has- ten a fatal termination." There is not a surgeon of prontin ence bnt recognizes that operation for cancer is a serious nada:: the same time unsatisfactory proceedure. The new method of treatment which we intro- duced"to the cancer sufferers of Canada some years ago, has revolutionized the manner of dealing with this disease. We have superceded the cruelties of the knife and plaster by a pleasant constitutional remedy that permeates every part of the system, removes the cause, strengthens and builds up the exhausted body, ,eases the pain, and day by day the cancer grad- ually subsides, the flesh round about takes on a healthier appearance and finally the diseased spot disappears. We have many cases of cures that bear out these statements. We do not publish testimonials in the papers to satisfy idle curiosity, but if you are interested' write us, enclosing two stamps,; and we will send you a, full account of, our, treatment and testimony of those who have been cured by it.
