Illustration Poultry Stations.
'THEIR. LOCUTION I1 CANADA. DIa1-
T+ERENT KINDS ON' STATIONS.—The
Dominicni;Department of Agricul-
ture has in operation ill Canada
three poultry breeching stations,
three chicken rearing stations and
ten chicken fattening stations—
sixteen in all.
The poultry breeding stations are
located at Holmesville and Bow-
manville, Cat., and Dondvil]e, Que.
At each of these stations a modern
poultry house is erected and about
125 utility -type Barred Plymouth
Rock pullets are kept. At Holmes -
vale and Botwnianville double poul-
try houses are built. These louses
.re 80 feet long and 10 feed wide
and contain ten breeding pens otf
Barred Plymouth Rocks. The
roosting quarters are separated
from the exercising pen, and are
planned to with -stand the cold :
the fowls are kept warns at night.
The single ponitry- house is erected
nt Bondvilie, Que., and is 100 feet
long and 12 fee£ wide. During
3o1c1 nights the roosting quarters
are closed by a cheap burlap -cover -
sad frame. The fowls are kept
warm at night. On account of
the cold winter sveatlier through-
OUt Canada a 'mirth roosting pen
;:houses be built in every single
poultry house.
.It is the intention of the Depart
1001t of Agriculture to develop the
anility type strain of 13arred Ply-
mouth Rocks and to Clistribttte
then to the fanners at a. nominal
price. Last year about 800 Barred
Plymouth Rooks were sold to the
farmers. The demand for Ply-
mouth Rock;; has greatly increased
this year.
The poultry breeding stations are
equipped with incu'bators.brooders,
stud movable honses, One incuba-
tor will generally hatch as many
chickens as 20 sitting hens. The
nt.ost satisfactory method of rear-
ing 200 or more chickens a. year is
with these movable houses :ma
indoor brooders, The house and
brooder are cheap in construction
and can be built at home. It is
profitable for almost every fanner
near a large city* to raise and fatten
from 200 to 500 chickens a year.
The chicken rearing station: are
operated at Chicoutimi, Que., An-
dover, N. B. and Vernon River
Bridge, P. E. I. They carry on the.
..me work as the poultry reeding
stations except that the eggs for
hatching are bought from farmers
who possess good flocks of Barred
Plymouth Reeks. 'There are no
specially selected Plymouth Rook
pullets at these stations.
The chicken fattening. stations
are located at Sandwich, Ont.,
Stanford, Que., Rogersville, N. B.,
East Amherst and North East Mar.
garde:, N. S., Alberton, Glenfinnan.
Montague Bridge, Mount Stewart
and Eldon, P. E. I. These illustra-
tion stations purchase chickens
from the farmers, for fattening.
The stations have an equipment of
fattening crates, shaping boards,
ete, The chickens are fatted for 24
clays in the crates and at the com-
pletion of that time are starved 36
hours, killed by dislocation of the
sleek, pressed into a .square shape
and packed into boxes.
This year it is the intention of
the Dominion Department of Agri-
culture to sell. fatted farmers'
chickens on all the principal Cana -
&ion markets and to show the con-
sumers the improved quality of
crate -fed chickens. Up to the pre -
s nit time no chickens have been
exported by tho Department to
Great Britain. The price received
per pound is from 10 to 13 cents,
plucked Weight. This course will
bestirsued so that farmers in any
-part of Canada fattening their
thickens can sell them to dealers
wi.o recognize the value of 'fatted
chickens and pay an • increased
price per pound for -thein. -
1 t would be to the advantage of
the x�� tternlers living near the fatten-
ing stations to visit the stations
ani learn the modern ,methoc.s of
l t).i a ,phtcking and shaping chick-
ens ahe men in charge of the
stations will give information re-
gardina; the disposal of the tatted
ehickens.

rim w .I.U1: OF' '1'rtT WORK OONDt.TTFD
Rb;NFlti+:w, ONT., BY DOMINION
DEPARTMENT OF Ad.RIC'CI,TVRE.
The Dominion Department of
Agrieulturo carried on illustration
chicken fattening work for three
years at Renfrew, Ont. 'When the
work commenced, Mr, John Frood,
the operator of the station, was
requested to interest the farmers
about Renfrew in chicken fattening
and to inform them of the high
prices paid for fatted chickens in
r,:ontreal. Mr. Frood loaned two
farmers the fattening crates and
showed thein how to feed their
chiekens. These chickens were
sold in Montreal at 11 cents, per
pounds, ilnc:ked weight, and one of
the fariit(rs wrote the Depatrtntent
that he was well pleased with the
price he obtained. This year the
farmer erected a poultry house
costing $300 and is engaging; in the
business• extensively. He speaks
very favorably of the fattening
work. He has chickens in the
fattening crates and is shipping
regularly to Montreal. It is learn-
ed that the second farmer and
three others are also forwarding
chickens to Montreal, One of them
realized for his shipment 75 cents
per chicken, another 65 cents per
chicken. Three years ago these
farmers' chickens, unfattened.
could not have been sold for More
than 5() cents per pair. It was then
difficult to buy firs -Wass chickens.
A great number of Leghorns and
::crab chickens were raised. by the
farmers. This year almost every
farmer owns a firstc]ass Bock of
Barred Plymouth Rocks.
Since the chicken fattening bnsi-
ness us established at Renfrew ami
promises to develop into an int -
portant industry. the Department
of Agriculture decided not to oper-
ate the station another year, The
work will be transferred elsewhere.
The Renfrew poultry business re-
ceived agreat impetus on account
of the operation of the illustration
fattening station, the farmers are
pleased with the increased returns
received from their fatted chickens,
and are in a. good way to realize a
substantial poultry revenue. What'
has boon acooutplishdd in Renfrew
ett.n be repeated in other parts of
Canada.
SAYINGS OF THE SAVIOUR.
Literary Treasures Buried Since
Second Century.
DISCOVERED IN EGYPT.
MANY HITHERTO HIDDEN PASS.%oEs
EXEMPLIFIED BY NEW GOSPEL AT-
TRIBUTED TO ST. THOMAS.
London. November 14. --Many
hitherto unknown sayings of Jeans
Christ have been discovered. in
Egypt by archeologists, who have
dug up papri buried since the se-
cond century-, 100 miles south of
Cairo. Dr. Bernard P. Grenfell,
who has been engaged in Egytian
excavations since 1804, at the gen-
eral meeting of the Egyptian ex-
ploration fund here, yesterday,
gave the following details :—
Aceoinpanied by Dr. Hunt, Dr.
Grenfell found. a rich ptolematic ne-
oropolis at El-Hiben. The bulk of
the documents found from one
mound consisted of a cmllectiln of
sayings of Jesus. They aro all in-
trudueed with the words °' Jesus
saith," and for the most part are
new. The ends of the lines are un-
fortunately often obliterated. Ap-
parently all the sayings -were ad-
dressec. to St. '1'homaaa, One of the
most remarkable is:—
" Let not him that seeketh cease
from his search until he find, and
when he finds he should wonder ;
wondering he shall reach the king-
dom, i. e., the kingdom of heaven,
and when he reaches the kingdom
he shall have rest."
Dr. Grenfell remarked that enor-
mous interest would be aroused by
the discoveries on account of the
variations they disclosed from ac-
cepted texts. One variation. of the
mystical sayings, recorded in St.
Luke: " The kingdom of God is
within you," was of great value, as
the saying in the papyrus appeared
in quite ' different surroundings
from those attributed to it by the
evangelist and extended far into an
other region.
4gt According to Dr. Grenfell, those
sayings formed the gospel which is
traditionally associated with St.
Thomas.
VALt7ARL7> DISCOVERY,
An interesting variation of the
gospel, according to St. Luke,
eleventh chapter ands fifty-second
verse ("woe unto you, lawyers; for
ye have takon away the ]tey of
lcnowlodge : • ye entered not in
.yoursolves, and them that were
entering in ye hindered"), reads in
the papyrus : Ye have hidden the
key of knowledge, yo entered not
yourselves, and to them that were
entering in ye did not open."
Another fragment contained a
discourse of Christ, closely related
to passages of the sermon on the
mnount,, and 'a conversation between
Christ and His disciples, in which
Christ answers a question els to
when His kingdom will be realized,
saying :—
"When ye retalrn to the state of
innocence which existed before the
fall."
A valuable find was made in
papyri, written in Latin, giving
the text of the epistle to the He-
brews, and an epitome of Livys six
lost books. This, with other papyri
covering the period 150-137 B. 0.,
threw much Dews- and valuable
information on the history of the
world and inarited the recovery of
hitherto lost classie:el literature of
Egypt.
A quaint instance of the business
methods in vogue in 137 A. D., is
shown in the diseovery of an
amusing contract whereby a slave
boy was to be taught .shorthand
for 120 drachmae. The payment
was arranged on a thoroughly busi-
ness -like basis, 40 drachmae down,
40 on satisfactory evidence of pro-
gress, and 40 on the attainment of
proficiency.

Temperance Movement in Germany.
G erm any has been held itp to
Americans as an e_xtunple worthy
of imitation in the temperate use
of intoxicating liquors, especially
beer. Like all other countries,
however, Germany suffers from in-
temperance and the government
feels called upon to take action re-
stricting the consumption of intox-
icants. It is stated that in tho next
session of the Reiehstag will be in-
troduced a bill designed to promote
temperance. Under the provisions
of this bill saloonkeepers aro re-
quired to sell nen-intoxicants, such.

To preserve eggs—one who has

them remain as long as it requires
to count ten fast. This receipt has

forty-five or fifty years. The eggs
cannot ho told from perfectly fresh
