THE MAPLE SUGAR INDUSTRY.
It may surprise many to learn that
the maple sugar anda'syrup crop in Can- .
ada is worth about two million dollars
1 .per year, In the Province of Quebec
the industry has maintained a strong
foothold, more especially in those
counties that contain more or less rough
and rocky land. In Ontario it also
bulks large, and in New Brunswick and
Nova Scotia considerable quantities of
sugar and syrup are made each spring,
During recent years the industry has
shown signs of decline, and in order
to encourage its improvement the Hon.
Martin Burrell, Minister of Agriculture,
has authorized the preparation of a
bulletin which should give it consider-
able support.
One cause of the decline is given as
the poor quality of much of the goods
made. On the authority of extensive
dealers it is estimated that fully sixty
per cent of maple products do not grade
above No. 4, and that this vast amount
has to be sold for not more than half
the price per pound of No. 1 goods, of
which about 10 per cent. is made. On
this account it is pointed out in the
bulletin that makers are losing each
year on quality alone, fully one million
dollars.
The bulletin goes fully into the sub-
ject of syrup and sugar making, de-
scribing clearly the necessary equip-
ment and its operation, and gives use-
ful information on marketing. An in -

Locomotor Ataxia.
"My nerves were very bad, and I
could not sleep at night, nor could I
control my arms or legs," writes Mrs.
Robt. Bustard, Maxwell, N. B, "Dr.
Chase's Nerve Food cured me of what
I believe was the early stage of loco-
motor ataxia or paralysis. I cannot
describe what I suffered, bu,. now I am

WHY MEN DON'T MARRY.
A certain American writer, Mr. E. E.
Rittenhouse, dealing with the fact that
thirty-nine out of every hundred men in
the United States and Canada of mar-
riageable age are unmarried, declares
that there are "an enormous number of
men who lack the moral fibre and cour-
age to marry and take a man's part in
human affairs. While an army of single
rnen are lavishing their earnings and
affe,:'tions upon themselves, and many
of them developing extravagant and
often vicious habits, another great
army, of young women, is forced to
toil in our factories and business houses
for the neceessities of life. This is an
unfortunate state of affairs. But the
Daily Telegraph, of Montreal, takes
issue with him on this point, and insists
that the women must bear some of the
blame, The editor says: "There is
no blinking the fact that we are in an
age of revolt against domesticity on
the part of the women. The majority
of our girls refuse to take an interest
in household work. They scorn econo-
my and quiet life. They have expen-
sive tastes. There beau ideal is a
young man with plenty of money, an
automobile and a never-ending capacity
for giving them 'a good time.' Let
young women who want husbands go in
for the study of domestic economy.
Let them dress as neatly as they please
but with due regard for propriety and
and the avoidance of reckless expense.
Let them preserve at all times a strict
regard for decorum in their conduct.
The young men likely to make the best
husbands aro not inclined to ask frivo-
lous and extravagant young women to
become their partners of life." We'
fear that on the part of both young

One Way to Fight Mail Orders.
Down in Oklahoma, the other day, a
man went into a store to buy a saw.
He saw the kind he wanted and asked
the price. It was $1.05, the dealer said.
"Good gracious!" said the man. "I
can get the same thing from Sears,
Roebuck & Co., for $1.35."
"That's less than it cost me," said
the dealer, "but I'll sell it on the same
terms as the mail order house, just the
same."
"All right, "said the customer. "You
can ac,.d it along and charge it to my
account."
"Not on yoar life," the dealer re-
plied. "No charg accounts. You
can't do business with the mail order
house that way. Fork over the cash "
The customer complied.
"Now two cents for postage and five
cents for a money order."
"What-"
"Certainly, you have to send a letter
and a money order to a mail order house,
you know."
The customer, inwardly raving, kept
his agreement and paid the nickel.

"Hand it to you? Where do you

Whereupon the dealer hung the saw

SQUARE DEALER,
BRIEF POINTERS FOR POULTRYMEN.
Young turkeys are of a delicate na-
ture until they are fully feathered and
have thrown out the red on their heads,
which usually occurs at about three
months of age. After that they are
hardy and may be allowed unlimited
range at all times.
When the hens have the run of the
farm, which is common, many are dis-
posed to make their nests away from
the regular buildings, says The Weekly
Witness. Unless they are to be allow-
ed to set, much care is needed in locat;
ing these nests and gathering eggs.
Indeed, it is best to confine the hens
for a time to induce them to lay in the
regular nests.
Immediately after dressing, poultry
should be placed in ice cold water and
allowed to remain there until all the
animal heat has left the body. Failure
to do this is very apt to cause the car-
cases to turn green in parts by the time
they reach their destination.
Once a week at least disinfect the
drinking fountains and dishes used by
the poultry by scalding them in boiling
water. Infectious diseases are spead
very rapidly through feed troughs and
drinking fountains.
A chicken never should be eaten the
day it is killed. The tenderest fresh
killed chicken will be tough immeaiate-
ly after the animal heat has left the
body. In about twelve hours, however,
the muscles will relax and it then be-
comes acceptable for food.
A hen that begins to lay in Novem-
ber and lays even as many as ten eggs
a month through to the end of Febru-
ary, at the prices that prevail in any
town, has paid for her feed for a
whole year. and all she produces the
remaining eight months of the year is
close profit.
When taking eggs to market, cull
and keep all the dirty and small eggs
at home.
Assorting market eggs according to
size and color is a good business move.
It attracts the eyes and the appetite
of the buyer, and the sale is readily
made. It always pays to cater to the
whims of the buying public, notwith-
standing what our personal ideas may
b:.
Utility must not be forgotten. No
breed that fails in practical points can
stand well in popularity. And the
practical points are: Great productive-
ness in eggs, even colored, even shaped,
generous -sized eggs, and the greatest
possible increase of weight for food
consumed.
There is only one way to build up a
heavy laying strain, and that is to select
hens that are good layers, and if pos-
sible hens that come from a line of good
layers, and add to them a male bird
that is known Lobe the "son" of a good
layer. This work is possibly only by
the use of trap nests.
The hen is truly a profit -payer. She
is capable of producing from 150 to 200
eggs in a year. If these eggs were
hatched and the chicks sold at the age
of six months they would yield a return
of not less than $60.
Now is the time to get rid of the old
the price isgood. They
while c

will get poorer and poorer as the moult-
ing season advances. When disposing

less they are valuable breed specin. .s.
Some Cow Feeding Suggestions.
Always keep the c„w taking her grain
ration with avidity.
Always place the feed before her in
an appetizing manner.
Always keep her manger sweet and
clean.
Always weigh every ounce of grain,
roots, and silage you feed that you may
know exactly what you are doing and
always make a note of the weights of
of the feed which you will find helpful
to you in acquainting yourself with in-
dividuality, for surely you will find that
every cow in the herd has an undivid-
uality peculiarly her own and that in-
dividuality may change from year to
year according to condition and en-
vironment.
Always consider that palatability is
an important point in the selection of
your feeds and always remember that
variety is very desirable in the make-
up of your rations. -From address by
W. .T. Gillett, President, Wisconsin
State holstein Breeders' Association, -
reported in H'oard's Dairynisti.

Sewing Hints,
Extra bobbins cost very little at
the sewing machine supply, store, and
pay for themselves over and over in
time saved when doing a quantity of
sewing. If a dozen or more are filled
at one time when the same kind of
thread is to be used for several garments,
it takes but a moment to put in a new
one as one runs out, without stopping
to throw the machine "out of gear"
and fill it.
If the belt is so loose that motion is
lost, a few drops of machine oil on it
will seem to tighten it and offers an
easy temporary remedy.
Oiling the machine frequently and
not too liberally is more conducive to
easy running and makes less danger of
oil -stained garments.
Pins may often be made to take the
place of basting in ordinary sewing at
saving of time. A flat cushion tied
with tapes to the crossbar of the mach-
ine head is extremely handy and helps
in forming the "pinning habit."
Did you ever "guess" at the length
of your skirt placket and then endure
the discomfort of having it too short or
the displeasing appearance when it prov-
ed too long? For most people, eleven
inches is a desirable length for the
skirt opening, and it takes but a
moment to measure and have it right.
The Common Drinking Cup in History.
The New York Sun points out that
there is nothing new in the movement
for the abolition of the Common drink-
ing cup. The danger of infection,by this
vehicle was recognized so long ago as
the fourteenth. century, when it was
discovered to be instrumental in the
diffusion of the plague. The Catholic
Church directed its abandonment for a
time. The records of the Protestant
church at Bopfingen in Wurttemberg
mention in the inventory "one small
gold plated cup for the sic and one tin
cup for the infected persons," and
these tin cups appear in the inventory
as late as 1832.
During an epidemic in Strassburg in
1564 individual communion cups were
suggested by a professor of theology to
prevent the propagation of disease by
this medium.
The suggestion that communion cups
may become the source of infection
with dangerous diseases was flrst made
in America by Dr. Terry in 1887, and
Dr. Forbes presented to the Rochester
Pathological Society in 1894 evidence
obtained by the microscope of contami-
nating material from the mouth and
clothing. He traced to a com mon drink-
ing cup an epidemic of diphtheria effect-
ing twenty-four families. A bacterio-
logical examination of dregs in a com-
munion cup used by many showed

Little Hints.
Before laying oilcloth, put a layer of
sawdust on the floor, and it will give a
soft tread to the feet, as well as pre-
serving the oilcloth.
The quickest way to clean a greasy
hearth is to rub it well with dry
hearthstone, and then brush it off.
This will remove the grease immediate-
ly.
In Australia the birth rate has also
declined. As one means of preventing
a futher decline, the West Australian
Legislative Assembly has added a new
clause to the Criminal Code Bill, pro-
viding that any person or corporation
prohibiting under threat of dismissal
the marrying of an employee over 21 is
liable to a fine of £500 or three months'
imprisonment.

"Your remedy, "Fruit -a -Lives" is a
perfect panacea for Rheumatism. For
years, I suffered distressing pain from
bciatica or Sciatic Rheumatism, being
laid up several times a year for days at a
time. I went to different doctors who told
me there was no use doing anything -it
would pass away. They gave me
mustard plasters and other remedies
that did no good. Plasters took no
effect on me -except to blister me• and
make raw spots. I took many advertised
remedies without benefit, but fortunate-
ly, about two years apo, I got •'Fruit-a-
tives" and they curea me.
Since then, I take "Fruit-a-tives"
occasionally and keep free of pain. I
am satisfied "Fruit-a-tives" cured me of
Rheumatism and they will cure anyone
who takes them as directed. If this
letter would be of value to you,
