When he assumed the duties of head of the Postal Service, one of his first offieial acts was to start an investigation into the conditions under which the employes of his department labored. One of the things he diseoverecl was that mail clerks,the majority of whom were receiving $800 a year, were com- pelled before entering the service to write essays on the rise and fall of the Roman Empire, and other lion.

Next Mr. Pelletier turned — his abtention to the country post- i1- master. He took the attitude that nd if the Post-Oface was going to be at run by the people for the people, od hs the people who ran it should be pro- perly treated by those for whom it was run, and he dipped into the de- partment's fat surplus for an in- crease of salaries all around.. He next investigated the grievances of his thousand or more employes in Ottawa, and soon satisfied himself that th e conditions—housing and sanitary—under which they worked were not conducive to health, con- tentmenb, and consequently, to efficiency. So he ordered every- thing ohanged, and the gratitude of the employes was tangibly express- ed last summer by an attempt to present him with a loving cup—an attempt which was foiled by the nem; and Indy Edith went white; for tut instant she saw that the 1110(141would have to be 1,001310(104,"Mr poor Olive!" eeid Lord Chaste leigh.

New Process Is In Vogue in Smite The American consul at Zurich recently made a. report of a new process of preserving eggs whieh has been brought out in that 001111 - try and which has attracted a great deal of attention because of its con- venience and economy. It, is said that, the materials from which the preservative is made may be had in almost any country and are no- where expensive. In the treatment of the eggs a fiat vessel of about ono hundred quarts is filled to half its capacity with the preserving agent, into which the eggs are dip- ped for two minutes and then al- lowed to dry. For the dipping pro- cess the eggs are placed in flat ware WAS A 0011FIRMED BYSPEPTIO Now Hods It a Pleasure to Noy Meals here is a case which seemed as bad and as 1(011010013 80 yours can possibly be.

After 010381510,11 -study of their hab- ite, the conclusion has been reached that the crow consumes enough grassleopper,s, out worms, white grubs, and other injurious insects to make him highly valuable to farmers. There ie, however, one bed habit which the crow has, and that is the destruction of young birds and bird eggs, but this trait is outweighed by the good -1110 11111(1 is doing for the farmer in the de- structien of worms and insects. The 0110 danger from the crow lies in large numbers. If the num,. ber can be kept down so that its normal food is eufficient, there is every reason why farmers should encourage the bird to remain about their farms. Not long ago the writer was watching a 01,011 feedbag in a, cornfield, It 'seemed that the bird was pulling up young coxn and car- rying 117 -3,0 a nearby nest to feed its young. After the crow had left the nest the youngebirds were secured and an examination showed that in- stead of young corn or the kernel of the corn, the older bird had been feeding the young one with eub worms gathered from around the corn plants. Crows are notoriously clannish birds and except during a few weeks at nesting time, are usually seen in flocks, Moreover, even while nesting they are more or less gregarious, for, although two nests are seldom built in ,the same tree, yet half a dozen pairs often build within easy hearing distance of each other, and if one is disturbed all are likely to unite for common pro- tettion or protest. When the young are able to y the parents accompany -them, forming little family parties of six or eight, and these soon associate with similar parties. They commonly travel in flocks and often congregate in largo numbers, but only during winter do they unite to roost in immense com- munities. Many roosts are known where not less than 100,000 erowii spend the night, and most of these roosting places have been used year after year. On the Farm Keep the Cow Clean. Milk from healthy COWS iS practi- cally free from bacteria when se- creted. The problem of a sanitary milk supply, therefore, is to keep out all bacteria as far as possible. Bacteria are introduced into milk .mainly by small particles of dirt• which either drop .into the milk from the cow or are carried in the air. Repeated tests have shown that even when a eow is cleaned as thor- oughly as is possible under stable conditions, particles of dust will be thrown off from her bodyduring milking -time, and these get into the milk and contaminate it. Cows should be kept away from sources of contamination, seek as sink holes in which stagnant water aceumu- lates, for such holes breed enorm- ous numbers of putrefactive bacte- ria which are especially dengerous to infants, causing digestive troubles. There should be no places in the barnyard for water to stagnate. The manure should be kept gathered up and every other effort made to keep the cow free from contamination The core should be thoroughly cleaned, preferably immedl'ately be- fore milking. It is also well to clip the hair short around the &aka and udder and always advisable to moisten the flanks just before milk- ing, All of these precautions tend to lessen the amount of clad or loose hair which will be given off from the cow. ,..— Give ChiCkellS Sour Milk. Sour milk is utilized in one of the best possible ways by feeding it to ehickense Those who think that they get greeter returns by feeding it to hogs should remember that the flesh of chickens brings at least twice as much on the market as that of hogs, writes Mr. A. 0. Smith. Milk and corn are both liked by ehiekens, and a proper mixture of the two makes one of the bent and most appetizing rations foe the Ha- wn wh-en the days are warm and the nights cool. For the beat re- sults tho corn should be cracked and soaked several honi's in either sweet or sour skimmed milk or in buttermilk. The corn may bo pat in pailg in the Morning and the milk poured on entil the top of the corn is submerged two or three iecheti. When this has been absorbed more Should be added at intervalg during the day and the mixture will he ex- cellent foe feeding by ti.ight. keAeplitb161el'aell6litlePkPoinYli°gfit:Obtelif:allearl'idllyt and ingure iheie beiteg conger* plenip and in eecellerib ectiditioree'y for ilio markete Try it *nee aeere- the fowle will tell you whether 0 t3, vII4' ialtinkdae iirithenT,vdrYtteniilttil t ;Vol cibt eoW:y:el :to 481 '°1,‘VI. 11 a:ta et I 101 littiti'etel thee7' „„,„„.,.., on livery inn (um "I'll give you something - if you'll chop wood for IV 0 WOnian positevely, "Eos, rllel,ladinPt.gIe eelprto I:e:mIvance. 1 Choppin' woed kiv 171.1 821)18 appotlte,''
