In Canada, com- paratively few ineubalors are in iuse, but in the United Statss there are many large poultry raising establishments that would have to go out of the business, but for these useful machines ; in other words, they are the result of theinvention of the incubator, which opened up a new industry which could not possibly be carried on by any other means. To give some idesof the extent to which incuba- tors and brooders are being used in the United States, I may mention that at one large establishment in New Hampshire they keep sixteen incubators in almost constant operation, having a capacity of six hundred eggs each ; then there is the well known poultry farm of James Ran- kin, who annually raises thousands of chickens and ducks for the Boston mar- kets by the aid of his incubators and bee iders ; W. II, Rudd & Son, who also cater to the Boston market, and raise thousands of Plymouth Rock ohiakens, do all their hatching and rearing by artificial means. In New Jersey there 14 a little town oallod Hammonton, where the chief industry is raising broilers for the New York and Philadelphia markets ; they are all hatched ia inotthators and raised in brooders, thousands of them being marketed annually. Many other oases 00111d be mentioned, but this is surfisient to give some idea of what is being done in commercial poultry rtsis ing. I will not weary the reader with any further exposition of the matter, but I deem it necessary to a proper ap- preciation of what is to follow, that we should thes hastily survey what is actu- ally being done at the present time. At this jurtoture it may bo well to consider the question of supply and demand. We have no official statistics in Canada re• hating to the cousomption of poultry and eggs, but American figures will serve our purpose very well in making an approxi• mote estimate of our own consuming naivete. In an article on "Comparative Taxation" by Edward Atkinson in the Century Magazine, June, MO, he says The value of Ibo entiro product in pig iron in that year (1.800) was less than 0118 1)511 the value of the segos ancl pool. try which were supplied' from all the barnyards' of tho country.

But soma s• are thousands of our people who do not eat an egg each day. Granting this to be true, we must face the fact that many other thonsands eat from 2 to four eggs daily, one that eggs enter very largely in the composition of many articles of food which we oonsume each day, such as cakes, pies, salads, ooffee, custards and puddings. Applying the same figures to Canada, and estimating our population at five millions, and eggs at on average price of 20u per dozen ; 11 each person in Canada were to oat an egg to -day there would be 410,006 dozen eggs consumed represent- ing an aggregate value of 682,353. Then if each person in Canada were to eat an ogg per day, for a year, the con- sumption would amount 11 the enormous sum of 630,410,140. It is the opinion of the largest aimless in table poultry and eggs in New York and Beaten, that a constant supply of first ohms goods, has a tendency to con- stao tly increase the demand, so that the probability of orerstoaking the market is very remote. James Rankin who is pro- bobly the largest breeder of market ducks in Ameriort, says that years age when he first went into business, he had to go into Boston, and almost worry the dealers to buy his duolcs, but today with a stock of twelve honked breadths bieas, he finds it diffioult to fill bis orders, Other largo producers beat similar testi- mony to the demand for ohoioe goods ; and commissioa merchants find no diffi- culty in platting all that is offered at good prime, but there is no room for poor goods, and no money in it for anybody who handles soots stuff; 111 Canada at the present time there is unfortunately very little else to be had, hence the low Prices of dressed poultry. Go on tho markets of Toronto and Montreal at this season of the year, and you find little else bat a lob of miserable scrub hens from one to five years old, the refuse of poultry yards all over the land, too old many of them to lay, and others after laying all winter are sent to market because they aro not broody and have noosed to lay ; verily these aro tooth-sonie birds SO for an eqicuro.

That Ayer's Sarsaparilla is the best cure for Indigestion, even when complicated with Liver Complaint, is proved by the following testimony from Mrs. Joseph Lake, of Brockway Centre, Mich.; — "Liver complaint and indigestion made my lifo a burden and come near ending my existence.
