A telegram from Belgrade reports the death of Colonel Maschin, who, with a band of officers, forced his way into the palace on the night of June 10, 1903, and slew King Alexander and Queen Draga and those who sought to defend their Majesties. Mascliin was the hus- band of the Queen's sister and the pro- moter of the conspiracy. Japanese sealers reaching Vancouver Island state that motor boats are being used this season on some vessels sent from Japan, a majority of which will go to Behring Sea. Sealing regulations pro- vide that only sail craft may be used for sealing, but the Japanese are not a party to the treaty, and the regulations do not apply, to them. The Dominion Salt Company.

HARVEST Of SEA Scilly sand Inhabitants Enriched By Steamer's Cargo. 77'• Stopped Work to Gather Up Goods From the Minnehaha. Arris fa, --The inhabitants of the rocky Pugh Town, St. -Mary's, Seiily Islands, Islands were famous wreckers of Primitive times, but they will forever remember this as the greatest day in their history. The Atlantic transport liner Minnehaha, *which ran ashore early A1ondaY morning, disgorged part of her 17.4'Cft tons of valuable caro. casting it upon the waters all day long, to be gath- ered in by those iIto cared to take the trouble. Farming and fishing were abandoned; school,. even, was dismissed, and most of the population of the nearby islands, men. women and children, devoted them- selves to obtaining treasures from the waves. The salvagers decided to try t•, rescue the Minnehaha in the same way as they did the White Star steamship Suevic, which went ashore near the Lizard In March, DM, by cutting her in half. Every effort to lighten the ship is now imperative. To -day the waves were too high for the tugs to go alongside, consequently goods were thrown over- board front the forward hold as fast as the stevedores and a large crew could raise them to the decit. fluge cases containing automobiles and niano-players, sewing machines and clocks followed one another over the side into the ocean. Mans bales of cigarettes covered the face of the water. and tons of cheap American novels drifted to the nearby shore of Bryher, where they were plied like seaweed, Tidings of this jettisoning of wealth snread early, and a fleet of fishing craft, lun-gers and row boats scurried to the scene. As fast as the cargo struck the water the enterprising boatmen pulled un the small cases and took the larger ones in tow. CENSURED CHIEF. Englishmen at Brantford Resented Slemin's Remark. A fowl should, always -be fattened as quickly as possible. Ten days is long enough, but it should be confined either in a Boar or a number in a small yard. Thee must have a c.)ntifual supply of fresh water, and siloaid be fed four times a day, the first Peal being given early and the last one ]ate. A recommended mixture in three party cornmeal, one part ground oats, orte part bran, one part ,rude taIIow, the entire lot scalded and fed for the first three !nea.ie, with all the corn and wheat that eta be eaten tip clean at night.

While it waa first raised and developed in South .lersey, it has proved ire adaptation to the varied eontlitions of lvany sections. In Western New York gardens it is con- sidered a leader. P.y manuring pastures in winter the grass is protected from the bad effects of freezing and thawing, and the fertil- ity which would be lest by allowing the manure to lie in stable, or lots is ab- saribed by the sell, read, to feed the grass roots with the coming of growing weather. Grass seed in the manure will help to re -seed the pasture. Apple growers in Berkley county, West Virginia, have sidepeci a great den; of fruit abroad this year at prices ranging at from $2.50 to•.3111 a barrel, in the or- chard. In many in.tances the net profits front the orchards have exceeded the ori- ginal purchase priee of the land, some orchards having produced over $1,000 per acre. Brantford despatch.: There was a lively time here to -night, .when about two hundred Englishmen assembled at the lodge rooms of the Sons of England to protest against the state- ment alleged to liavo been made at the Police Court last week by Chief Slentin, to the effect that the police had more trouble with Englishmen than any ether class in the city. Some rousing speeches were deliver- ed, in which the (chief was severely criticised. Tnere ware some doubt as to the exact words used by the Chief, those present differing in their ver- sions, but the meeting was almost unanimous in declaring that a slur at Englishmen as a class was im- plied. Those who interviewed the Chief subsequently to the conference were informed by him that this was not intended, but that he referred only to a certain troublesome class of Englishmen, and not to them in gen- eral. The outcome was the unani- moar, adoption of a resolution to the City Council and Police Commission "protesting with nil the power at our command against the unpatriotic language need by Chief Siomin." The Carnegie Institute has employed some western inre,tigator; to study the potato hu_, with n view to it, extermina- tion. The experiment will Cost $10,000: There appeared in some parts of In- diana last season a small brie with varie- gated wings which destroyed thousands of potato bugs. A half-dozen hugs will quickly kill 100 or more of the potato bugs on a single plant. Specimens have teen sent to the Government for exam- ination. It is recorded that the dairy cows of 'Holland average little more than 9,000 pounds of milk per eow par year. This gives the Hollander as mach butter fat from one cow its the average western farmer secures from four. About iv: yecrs ago cnestntit trees in the vicinity of New York were observed to be dying, and since that time it is estimated that i;lte loss has reached $3,- 000.000. The cause is a fungus disease of the bark which experts have been un- able to cope with. Thousands of fine chestnut trees have recently been cut dawn. The Minnesota Experiment Station is growing with considerable success a new variety of rye, known as Minnesota No. 2. It is stated that this rye will pro- duce from eight to ten bushels more per acre than the common varieties.

It is estimated that the toin] apple crop of the United States for 1409 will. be about 3,500,000 barrels less than last year. According to estimates made by the Virginia. Experiment Station over 6 per cent. of the lambs born in that State la't year died because their mothers did not have sufficient milk to support them. Investigation shows that the cause of this lack of milk was due to unwise feeding before and after lambing. It bas been found by experiments at one of the New 'York stations that the soil mixture best adapted for forcing head lettuce is of a rather compact tex- ture ani contains a good portune of rine sand, clay, and salt, moderately lighten- ed with fairly well -rotted horse manure. It was also found that after a heavy application of stable manure any further addition of chemical fertilizers is only thrown away. Chemical fertilizers gave best results on sandy soils, fairly well - rotted stable manure on clay soils. Fertilizer tests with corn show clearly that plowing under green leguminous crops is a highly beneficial practice, and that where this is followed only moder- ate amounts of fertility will be neces- sary to give increased yields. When vege- table matter is lacking, however, heavy applications of fertilizers seem advisa- ble. It is claimed that fresh sawdust con- tains an acid which, when used heavily, may injure soils which are deficient in lime. The liquids of manure are alka- line and will neutralize the sawdust if well soaked into it. The chemical ac- tion in the manure pile is also alkaline, so that sawdust used for bedding and -well nixed with the manure is safe to use on the soil. A new disease among pears has been noted in Belgium. The diseased fruit shows round, brown spots, which in- crease in size until the gerater part of the fruit is affected, after which it falls. In one instance the loss due 'to its fun - Nr 0:0 gus was great, fully one-half of the fruit being destroyed. ''Where the pears have been bagged they did not suffer from the fungus. Spraying with Bor- deaux: mixture, it is believed, will pre- vent the disease. The quality of Maine seed potatoes is discussed by Director C. D. Wood, of the Maine Experiment Station. He shows as a result of tests made at the station that the appearance of blight does not depend upon the seed usd, but rather upon the weather at the time when blight is ]fable to occur. Seed from a field *herr, blight prevailed the year before does not necessarily produe blight; and, where there was no blight does not guar- antee any freedom from blight in the succeeding crop. For the first time in five years Euro- pean eggs are being imported into this country. Their arrival in the wholesale grocery district of the West Side, New Yory, worries speculators, who have beeu holding domestic eggs in storage in the hope that prices would go up in the first part of Lent. The foreign eggs ars shipped by brokers from Hull, England, but were gathered originally from Aus- tria. France and Germany. The total receipts amounted to 900 cases, each vaso holding from 60 to 120 dozens. 0.0 PRICES FALLING. Farmers Feeding Grain to Cattle and Cheaper Meat Coming. New York, April 25.—Close obsery era of the food markets to -day ex- pressed belief in lower prices for food- stuffs. "The tendency of prices. is just now unmistakably downward," said one big dealer. "It seems to ole entirely reasonable for the people to look for a drop in the retail prices of meat in a short time. The pleanitude of grain has compelled the farmer to feed to his cattle which are waxing fat and which must be put on the market." TO MISSION CONGRESS.

When your physician gives you a prescription you would scarcely risk having it compounded by a grocer or n baker, even if you were sure they had the right drugs. You insist on your druggist's skilful dispensing. If you did not protect yourself in this way the laws of the country would protect you, for they demand that physicians' prescriptions be dispensed. by physicians or qualified druggists only. Is it not equally important to know that the house- hold remedies, such as laxatives, cough syrups and tonics, and the toilet preparations such as tooth paste, which' you use so frequently, are also compounded by expert chemists? Whets you use NA -DRU -CO medicinal or toilet preparations you have the positive guarantee of one of the largest wholesale drug firms in the world, the National Drug and Chemical Company of Canada, Limited, that each one has been compounded by expert chemists only. This is just where NA -DRU -CO Cascaral...oxatives. NA -DRU -CO Liquorice, Linseed, and Chlorodyne Cough Syrup, NA -DRU -CO Tasteless Cod Livor Oil Compound and everything else on the NA -DRU -CO list are pre-eminently better than mixtures at present flooding the market. They are compounded by men who know. Some NA -DRU -CO Camphor ice Greaseless Toilet Create Talcum Powder Tooth Pasto Tooth Powder Rab s Tablets Carbolic.
