A aespateil from. Ottawa says f—Itee
markable results have been achieved
by the Depertment a Agriculture ia
connection with the poultry -feeding es-
toliltelainents whieh were opened a
alert time ago. At Carleton Plaee,
where the station was placed in oharge
of Youill and San, ordinary fowls
were purehased from the farmers,
placed in coops, arid put under a epee
cial feeding process. The rations con-
sist- exelasively of oatmeal ground. as
fine as flour, and mixed with skimmed
milk. In two and a half weeks the
firet lot of birds, which were not
ohosee specially, but were taken from
ordinary farmyard stook, made flesh so
rapidly that when killed they ranged
in weight from 7 to 8 11L2 pounds each.
Even Prof. Robertson was astonished
at the result of the experiment. Spe.‘
oial boxes ha.d been made in which to
pack the birds for export, twelve birds
to each box, but after allowing even
for a substantial iecirease in the
weight of tile birds, results proved that
•the boxes were tar too small. This
experiment opens up quite a field. of
work for the Canadiae farmer. It
,shows that as regards the dairy and
poultry feeding industries one is the
complement of the other, skimraea
milk, the byeproduct a the da.i.ry in-
dustry, being the one essential to the
success of the poultry -fattening busi-
ness.

Mr. Moody was despatched by •tlae
Government on the 121h o soptember,
1897, to locate a trail from Edmonton
to the mouth of the Pelly river, The
party met with hardships such as are
fortunately rare even in the West, but
the information obtained is eertain to
prove of very great velae. From Fort
Graham, in British Columbia, to Sel-
kirk, at the mouth of the Pelly, their
journey eccupied in all three Months.
Inspector Moody is satisfied that
there is scarcely a oreek in Northern
British Columbia whieh does not con-

reliable as guides, Comparatively easy
passes exist through the Rocky and
Wolverine raountains between Port St.

Mr. Moody lost five months by going
to Quesnelle for horses, aud before he
could get back to Fort Graham, where
his party were wintering, the ice had

wrote an' eloquent piece of Latin verse
on his approaching end, "Why flatter
thyself 2" •
Ten years later, when he was apos-
tolic delegate at BenevenVO, he came
near dying of a fever. It was thought
that he was lost. ' •
He was saved by the act, then
thought foolhardy, of Dr. 'Volpis, phy-
Aden to the King of Naples, in plung-
ing,hira inta a bath of cold Twater at
the moment of the most violent at-
tack of the fever.
Leo XIII. has not gone out of the
vast enclosure whim surrounds the
Vateaan in twenty years, and yet has
surpassed the years of life of Pius IX.,
who alone of all the Pope e had exceed-
ed, the years of Peter.
In the eyes of superstitious Romans
Leo XIII. has performed another mir-
aole of longevity. Es has escaped a
critical date, one ditermined by • a
cabalistic calculation, whieli set the
end a his life for the year 1892.
It is said. all his predecessors , in
this 1 l'entury, Pius IX., Gregory
XVI., Pius FILL, Leo XII., . Pius
VII., have obeyed the hive of ftgures..
• Leo XIIL,. alone hes est:aped it, •and
the same caaculat ion, if it e tee exact
-hr his nese, would assign him ten
yeas more of existence, which would
make the Pantiff surpass even the age
of Doge Dandolo. •
