SHOULD AVOID ALCOHOL
Statement of a Veteran German
General,,
A Berlin despatch says: In answer
to an inquiry by tho German Tem-
perance Society, Count I:Nelsen-Has-
Woe, the most, popular of the retired
German Generals and a supposed to-
tal abstainer, has written as fel-
lowm—
"During twenty'llve years X drunk
neither beer nor wine, and never took
spirits, except on the rarest owns -
lofts. On the Emperor's birthday I
took a small quantity of champagne.
In 1€178, after a serious leng attec-
tion, the phyeicians advised me to
take two glasses of wino 0 dey, I
S0011 recovered, and no one is better
now than I. I am, convinced that a
man works better without aleohol,
Spirits are the worst, mid boor is al-
most as bad, because it causes fa-
tigue and mentos a thirst. For the
soldier, water, coffee and tea are
best,"

CX.R. TO MAKE OFFER
Big Corporation May Get • the
Fast Atlantic Service.
An Ottawa despatch says: Sir
Thomas Shatiginiess,y, president of
the C. P. R., was in the city on
Tuesday, and had a conference
witlt several Ministers. It is said
the object of his visit was in con-
nection with the fast Atlantic ser-
vice. When tenders were called for
recently for such service the C. P. R.
did not put in a bid, but now that
the Government has definitely decid-
ed not to 'accept either of the offers,
it is the general impression that the
only corporation which can grapple
successfully with the problem which
has been engaging the attention of
the public Mon and the press of Can-
ada for the past ten years is the
Canadian Patifle. No information is
forthcoming regarding the nabfre of
the interview which Ste Thomas had
with the Goverement, but it would
not be a matter of surprise if with-
in the next fbw clays the announce -
Matt Were made that a. contract had
beon entered into, under which the
0. P. R., will agree to furnish a
weekly 20-161100 service from Quebec
in summer and Hollins in winter.

in London, ea -island, \'as received
last week. Thie firm wished to
"start an unclertaking for the

success of such a project and tha
possibility of obtaining poultry, (es -

firm in Cape Coloey wished a pou1.
try trade developed with that Col-
ony. One shipment of Canadian
chickens was made to Cape Colony
which arrived in a satisfactory con-
dition and pleased the trade. A.
New York firm wrote that they de-
sired to import Canadian chickens
and were recommended by the De-
partment to a. firm in the Marti:len°
Provinces, from whom they pur-
chased chickens and were impressed
favorably by them.
The above and similar requests are
difficult of solution even by one in
touch with the Canadian produce
firms ana packing houses that aro
buying and marketing chickens. The
majority of our esta.blished firms
are equipped with a complete plant
for marketing in Canada or Great
Britain several times more chick-
ens than they can bus,. Noverthe-
less merchants in Great Britain,
Cape Colony, the United States and
even in Australia are looking to a
suPPlY of Canadian chickens to sat-
isfy their growing trade.
The problem of supplying this
wonderfully increased demand for
chickens can be solved by the farm-
ers alone. Instead of the farmer
rearing fifty or a hundred chickens
that reeetVe little attention or feed,
he should rear from 200 to 1,000
chickens annually. These should be
of a utilitytype, such all Can be
found in the popular merits, Ply -I
in.outh Rocks and Wyandottes. The
chickens should be hatched mist
reared by incubators and brooders,
and when ready for market the
cockerels should be placed in fatten-,
ing crates mud fatted. The equip-,
meat required to do this work is '
not an expensive one; 5200 to 51500

Canada luts grown and prospered
Wonderfully during the last decade.
Its trade has increased to onOrennia
proportione. Its crops have been
auch as to merit for Canada abroad
the title of "granary of the world,"
Its mines and ore fields, eartioularly
those of Nova Scotia and Cape Bre-
ton, have been developed in 8111311 a
way es to set dreaming the most
pessimistic and It is now generally,
conceded that the ftnest jewel ol
Great Britain's crown can more than
supply its home market for minorale
while it exports annually milliona
worth of grain, fish, lumber and tim-
ber.
Of the industries based upon no.-
turill remources the fisheries rank
second in Canada. This country has
over 5600 miles of sea coast, in ad-
dition to inland soon, innumerable
lakes, and a great number of rivees.
The exports of the fishery products
in 1897 amounted to 522,7135,546.
The home consumption is estimated
at a value of 535,000,000, giving a
total yield from tile fiSberieS 01
nearly
558,000,000 ANNUALLY,
exclusive of the catch by foreign
fishermen.
The sea, inshore and inland fisher;
ies of Canada furnish cod, mackerel,
haddock, halibut, herring, hake, sal-
mon, shad, eileWiveg, etriped baStia
smolt, lake trout, muscalonge, white
fish, sturemon, pike perch, black
bass,, brook trout, pike, eels, and
gold -eye, besides oysters, lobsters,
seals, whales and walrus, The rich-
est whaling regions in tho world aro
said to exist in the Hudson Bay and
ArotM regions of Canada,
The Pacific coast fisheries furnish
halibut, black cod, oulachan, ancho-
vy, herrhos, smolt, and. many species
of sahnon and trout. The salmon
of British Columbia aro worth over
55,000,000 annually, and the total
yield of the fisheries of that prov-
ince exceeds $6,000,000.
Lumbering ranks third among the
extractive industries of Canada and
the forest wealth is very great. It
is stated that 123 species of trees
grow in that Country, 94- occuring
oast of the Rocky Mountains, and
29 on the Pacific Coast, The forest
belt extends a distance of about 4,-
000 miles cast and west, with a
breadtlt of some 700 miles. The
trees consist principally of tho fol-
lowing species: Black and white ,
spruce, banksiau pine, white pine,
rod piae, larch, balsam fir, balsam
poplar, aspen, canoe birch, bird
cherry, white cedar. Black ash and
mountain ash occur sparingly in the
southern part of tbis belt.
British Columbia is 111005110 to
possess the greatest compact reserve
of timber in the world. The wooded
area is estimated at, 285,000 square
miles and includes many kinds of
timber. The Douglas spruce is the
show tree or British Columbia, and
indeed of Canada.
THE FORESTS or CANADA
contain pine, spruce, hemlock, oak,
elm, maple, beech, birch, butternut,
hickoty, bass wood, etc. Nearly
38 per cont, of its whole, area is '
forested.
In 1800 the capital invested in tho
pulp mills of Canada alone was
about 515,000,000. The capacity of
the mills was over 1200 tons per
day, The value of the forest pro-
ducts exported in 1901 was nearly
838,000,000, and their total must
have been al least three times that
amount.
11 will readily be seen that indeed,
Canada has sotnothing to show and
she inteeds to spring a universal sur-
prise next year. Mr, Willi 1081 Hutch-
inson, Canadian Farposition Com-
missioner, is just back in Ottawa
from Japan, whore ho represented
his country at the Osaka Exposition.
Mr. Hutehinson's trip to Japan is
certain to bo of considerable future
benefit to Canada and already trial
shipments of wheat and flour have
been made tho Par East; Country
just visited by him.
The Cannslian Commissioeer is now
actively engaged in making prepare,.
tions for the World's Fair at St,
Louis. On his way bailie, from Van-
eouver to Ottawa he made prellmin-
ary arrangements for a thoroughly
representative exhibit of tho timber,
fisheries and mining industries of
Caeadn. British Columbia will foe-
nish the forest monster and an et-
fovt, will be made to obtain the
largest and longest piece of Douglas

Pacific Coast and the nuMberless
