SPOILED THE DAME.
T&ii Prospects Were Excellent, but
Thy Wars Too One Sided.
A. young auger who had hem study,.
lug for opera worts had the good for-
tPao to be engaged by an Impresario
Tor a tour through South America. Isla
•tsbeet a*elled with pride as he walked
the deer of the steamer that was to
take him on his >drst trip to foreign
bugle. Ott thesecond morning out he
was much surprised to meet an old
classmate, who, like himself, was a
teaor`bfinger.
"Well, Weli, where did you come
from? ' Where are"you going?" each
asked the other.
A.nd each answered, "I'nl engaged by
an opera Company for a South Amer.
eau tour."
"My manager is on this steamer."
said one.
"Aird mine too."
Within five. minutes both singers
t found that they had been engaged by
the same opera company for the same
Part. "What does the man mean by
hiring two different men for the role
of first tenor?" naked one.
"Pardon me," Interrupted a youth
who had been standing near and over-
heard their conversation. "You have
myself and two other singers for com-
panions in this affair. We have just
found out to our surprise that we have
all been engaged by the same man for
s, the same part on the same tour. What
under the sun can she mean by having
five first tenors?"
The five youths then took counsel
together and decided that they would
see the manager and demand nn ex-
planation.
They found b"i`tn•;on the forward deck.
He listened, seemingly amused at their
complaint, and said: "Gentlemen. don't
you worry. I am an old ap experieuc'•
ed. man in this game and know what
I am doing. If you were acquainted
with the climate of South America you
would know yourselves that it is �Lhso•
lutely necessary. We shall seareely
arrive there before three or four ut
you fellows will be stricken with the
deadly tropical fever. Experience has
taught me in all my tropical tours to
allow for all sorts of mishaps and mis-
fortunes. Of course yon can see what
excellent prospects dre offered to the
chap who is able to withstand every
thing." And with these words the
manager retired to his cabin.
The five young singers then sat dots
and debated the "excellent prospects."
They soon came to a decision. One
chance in Ore of heing a star singer
instead of a dead one did not prove
sufficiently attractive. So when the
steamer stopped at Liverpool the
youths went ashore. and the impresario
never saw them again. -Youth's Com-
panion.
Pills For Earthquakes.
In 17M a number of smart earth-
quake shacks were felt in Loudon.
wbicb created quite a panic. The cler-
gy, from the bishops down, exhorted.
warned and pnmphleted the people to
an almost incredible extent lest worse.
things yet should befall Quacks made
small fortunes out of pills which they
advertised as "good against earth-
quakes;" ladies wore "earthquake
gowns" --warm garments for sitting
out of doors at night -and most of the
fashionable world lived through that
summer in their conches in the parks.

candles." -London Express.
Old Scottish Words.
A correspondent of the Glasgow Bea.
aid submits the following samples of
cid Scotch words from East Aberdeen -
;hire: Mowse-To say anything is ane
mowse menus it is uncanny or danger-
ous. Connaehed-Spelled, Clean con.
nacbed would mean utterly destroyed
or rendered useless. BIaud-To bland

child's forearm. The last is a very
utd expression. hut t have beard it
used. "Sic bonnie gardies be has;'
means the baby has plump arms.
Verdi's SeoreCy.
Verdi observed great secrecy con.
(erning hie operas. even to bis busi-
ness nssoelates, and it is said that the
first intimation his business managers,
the tticordis, received of the compost -
duct of "Falstaff" was a toast offered
by BBoito. who as supper one night.
when the publisher and his wife were
present. slyly glanced at Verdi and
proposed a health to the "fat knight,"
at which it seemed Verdi and lioito
had been workiug for months.

SEASONABLE HiNTS.
"The real test of the farmer is, per-
haps, in his ability to make the most
profitable use of the various products
of his farm and his forsight in getting
ready in every way practicable between
harvest and seed time for the produc-
tive operations of the next season."
Thus states Mr. J. H. Gri,dale, Direc-
tor, Dominion Experimental Farms, in
presenting Seasonable hints, No. 3, for
November, December, January and
February, to the farming public of
Can-
ada. A careful perusal of its sixteen
pages will amply reward the stockman,
the agriculturist, the horticulturist,
the poultryman, the tobacco grower and
those especially interested in bees. A
feature of this third issue is the advice
under the caption "Shelter the Im-
plements." The enormity of the vast
sum of money spent annually on farm
machinery is impossible of realization.
To equip an average farm with machin-
ery costs about $1,000, which under
ordinary conditions of treatment will
not do good work for more than Ave
yeats. To counteract this waste, for
unsheltered implements means waste,
shelters should be built. A. working
plan of a shed 25 by 47 feet outside
measurements is given, with directions
necessary for its construction. A care-
ful study of this plan, which, as stated,
is capable of many modifications, will
be helpful to those intending to build.
To those, therefore, who would have a
compendium of information, which out-
lines matey necessary fall and winter
duties pertaining to agriculture in all
its phases. Seasonable hints, No, 3, is
available on application to The Publics.

POULTRY FOR ALL.
The keeping of poultry by all who
can engage in the business, is strongly
recommended by the Board of Agricul-
ture of Great Britain. Emphasis is
placed on account of the feet that Coun-
tries, from which Great Britain has
formerly imported eggs, are no longer
able to make export of this necessity.
Canadian eggs have been more
plentiful this year than formerly and
as the standardizing of the product is
receiving more attention there is every
prospect of a fairly large export trade.
For this reason the keeping of poultry
should be practised by all in Canada
who have sufficient roorti' fur even a few
hens. City dealers seem to be more
easily interested in the keeping of
fowls for the supply of their own
tables than many farmers, who have
much better facilities for the work,
and the keeping of a few birds in a
small yard should not be discouraged,
provided that cleanliness is strictly
observed, but the person who should
keep always, at least a small flock, is
the farmer. On the farm, the crowing
of the rooster is not found to be a
nuisance as it is in the' city, though for
that matter there should be less of that
noise than often prevails and the voice
of the male bird should only be heard
for a short season. Free range for
fowls is becoming more popular with FEEDING DAIRY COWS
those who understand them, and the
general farmer, as well as such
specialists as fruit growers have this
free range to spare in most cases, yet
many refuse to keep poultry because of
the poor returns from the business.
The matter of marketing eggs for a
large flock that lays only in Summer
when eggs are cheap has been one
reason for discouragement rad has re-
sulted in the survival of the straight
poultryman who has had to be depend-
ed on by the farmer, who could not
have lost money if he had taken pains
in the selection of his birds and their
care, if even only a sufficient number to
supply his own table had been kept.
Starting in a small way with poultry
will be sure to give satisfaction to any
farmer, and if he takes advantage of
the activities of the Live Stock Branch
in its efforts to further co-operative
marketing, he will find it possible to
extend his operations with profit.
There is certainly no heavy work in the
keeping of a few hens and if the rules
of the game are carefully playe up to
there is every chance of success and
absolute satisfaction.
Recent experiments have shown that
it is impossible for the X-ray to find
flaws within metal that appears on the
surface to be sound,

In purchasing feeds for dairy cattle
buy only those rich in protein and
mix your own ration feeds, as these
are usually too expensive.
There are several rules given by dif-
ferent authorities for the proper feed-
ing of milking cows. No set amounts
can be given, however, either for the
size of the animal of the breed. They
all depend on the individual.
One feeder gives the three, following
rules, the owner judging for himself
which is the most suitable for his
cattle.
Peed all the roughage they Will clean
up, and
One pound of grain for each pound of
butterfat they produce each week,
or,
One pound of grain per day for
every three pounds of mills they pro-
duce, or
Feed all the grain they will eat with-
out gaining in weight.
Another good rule to follow is to
feed all the roughage they will clean
up, and
One pound of grain for every five
pounds of three per' cent. milk they
produce per day, . or
One pound Of grain for every four
pounds of four per 'cent of milk, or
One pound of grain per day for every
three pounds of five per cent milk,
