The Grit party promised you recip- rocity with the United States. The Grits have been promising you recip- rocity for twenty years, They have said to y;uu, "Farmers you were pros- perous When`we had a reciprocity treaty with the United Staos ; we will make you prosperous again by making another reciprocity treaty with the United States. The Tories cannot give you this inestimable boon; we can and lye will. Put us in power and you will have reciprocity and prosperity." Some of you were deluded by these statements, and voted for Grit candi- datear to procure reciprocity. When the Laurier party was given charge of the government you feltcluitesure that increased prosperity was knocking at your door,. and that all that was necess- ary was for the government to send a commission to Washington to nego- tiate it, treaty of recipr'ocitq, and the thing would be, speedily. done. You were told that the National Policy in- jured you, and that your only sAlva- tion wits to give the Grits a chance to get reciprocity for you. What has been the result? How have the promises been kept! The National Policy, so far as you are con- cerned, remainv almost unaltered, and where is the long -promised, much - promised, reciprocity ? Instead of reciprocity Uncle Sam has given you a highgr tariff. Here below see the old duty on the articles you produce and the present duty,on the same: Cattle were 20 per cent under the Wilson tariff, which was in force when Litur•ier took the Canadian helm. They are now 27j per cent under the Ding- ley act, which is now law. Hogs were 20 per cent; now $1.50 per bead. Horses were 20 per cent; now 25 per cent or $30 a head. Sheep were 20 per cent, and are now $1.55 per head. , - Lambs were 20 per cent, and are now 75 cents per head. Barley was 39 per cent, and is now 30 cents a bushel. Buckwheat was 20 per cent, and is now l5cents a bushel. Oats were 20 per cent, and are now 15 cents a bushel. Rye was 20 per cent, and is now 10 cents a bushel. Wheat was 20 per cent, and is now 25 per cent. Flour was 20 per cent, and is now 25 per cent, Butter was 4 cents a pound, and is 1 now 6 I Milk was free, and is now 2 cents a gallon. Beans were 20 per cent, and etre now 45 cents a bushel. Eggs were 3 cents it dozen, and are now. Hay was $2 a ton, and is now $4. Honey was 10 cents a gallon, and is now 20 cents. Hops were S cents a pound, and are now 12. Onions were 20 cents a bushel, and are now 40. Potatoes were 15 cents a bushel, and are now 25. Straw was 15 per cent, and is now $1.50 a ton. Veggetables were 10 per cent, and are now •1,5 per cent. Apples were 20 per cent, and are now 25 cents a bushel. reaches, plums and pears were free, and are now 25 cents a bushel. Berries were free, and etre now 1 cent a quart. Grapes were 20 per cent, and are now 20 cents per cubic foot. Bacon and hams were 20 per cent; - and are now 5 cents a pound. Fresh beef, veal, mutton and pork were 20 per cent, and are now 2 cents a pound. Lard was 1 cent, a pound, and is now 2. Live poultry was 2 cents a pound, and is now 3. Dead poultry was 3 cents a pound, and is now 5. e Tallow was free, and is now j cent per pound. Wool was free, and now 11 to 12 cents a pound. Hides were free, and is now 20 per cent. Flax was free, and is now $2 a ton. Lumber was free, and is now $2 a thousand. Paving posts, ties and telegraph poles were free and are now 20 per cent. Fence posts were free and are now 10 per cent. What do we think of that sort of reciprocity? You were told that un- der the Wilson net you were groaning and sweating, and that it was utterly impossible for you to get along. And the result of the Grit promises for your relief is that the American duties un- der the Wilson act have been more than doubled 1 Instead of the fulfll- ment of the Grit promises to secure reciprocity for you, you have -if the Grit theory be correct -been plunged much further into the mire of poverty and helplessness. The Grit party stands before you to- day, with every promise it made brok- en; with a tremendous increase in the American tariff instead of the free trade with the United States it prom- ised you, utterly discredited; utterly unable to make good anyportion, how- ever small, of its lavish campaign promises. How do you like it, gentle farmer, who has voted Grit to secure reciprocity? And what are you going to do about it? Jessie Gordon, the eldest child of Mr. and Mrs. Alex.

If an inexperienced person should he- the poultry business on It large reale bygoing out into the country end buyinng five hundred or one thoas- tnd hes, he would probably make it failure, of his venture says the imerican Poultry Advocate, be- muse he would incur the risk )f bringing lice and disease on his 'arm and would also accept a great navy nondescript fowls which would )rove worthless. One should not ex- )ect to begin in a day, not, should any notit be expected the first year. The )eginner should select fifty healthy, Lardy hens, procured from some reli- tble source, and which arst pure-bred )r well -bread stocK. Iie should Ise only pure-bred mails of the )red he prefers. Use the eggs or hatching from the best hens, Ind endeavor to hatch the pullets not ater than April. If five hunrired pul- ets are hatched and raised, it will be a arge number, but the real result will )enearer three hundred pullets, Save ;hew and increase the number next dear. Always breed from the kind of )ens you desire, and never buy one. :t is the first three years that must be net, but after that time the.work will )e easier, the difficulties fewer and the )rofits larger. NEARLY $2.00 PROFIT PER HEN. Mr. Gilbert, at the meeting of the Dominittee on Agriculture, Ottawa, ;ave details of an experiment with 50 lens ordered by the committee last ,rear. The fifty bene laid 4,773 eggs luring the yeat, the bulk of this pro- luct having been got during the win- ,er, when prices were high, and stock 'ailed when the price of eggs was low. +orty-one settings of eggs were sold 'or hatching. The total revenue made )y the fifty hens in the year was $133,- :3, and cost for feed $40,213, leaving a )rofit of $93.17, or nearly two dollars )er head. Mr. Gilbert handled the :ggs so as to get the highest possible )rice for thern. He showed how it armer by taking advantage of the nigh price markets and raising a sup- :riorquality of inarket poultry ought to nake his hens pay him one dollar to one lollar and a half profit. His evidence vas of a great importance to the farm- ws. The best fowls for a farmer, Mr. xilbert thought, were thoroughbreds; f he can riot get them, first crosses. In its evidence, Mr. Gilbert showed that eleven hens of the Plymouth Rock and forking cross laid as many eggs during ,he year its the same number of silver -laced Wyandottes. THE HEN FLEA. The. fleas (Pulicidie) which are true nsects, belong to the order of flies Diptera). They live upon the blood of mimals. One species only lives upon she fowl, namely, the bird fleet (Pulex rallinae or avium), which attacks also nost other birds. The hen flea, as it is ;enera•lly called, is abundant in dirty 'owl runs, and especially in the nests vhere straw is used. The adult fled, is lark in color, and, as in all fleas, is de- void of wings. The fleas are provided Kith very sharp piercing nlouthb, their `Cod consisting almost entirely of )lood. They are not often seen on the 'owls, hence little notice is taken of ;hem. They are what are termed -partial pgrasites"-parasites that only ;o to their hosts to feed. The fleas are lot noticed in the birds because they Cener•ally attack them at night; then, lowever, they do much harm, causing :onstant irritation and loss of blood, Ind depriving them of rest. To suppress these pests, the houses Ihould be cleaned down at least twice Uyear with a wash made of tot lime, pher and soft snap, the ceilings, walls and nests having a good coating. Che wash should belairly liquid, so its o run into every crack and crevice. Che perches are hest treated with boil - ng water and soft soap, or with an 'mullion of kerosene or crewote. Chis latter insecticide is moot benefl- nal, especially in regards to mites. Dust baths are the natural remedy 'or lice and mites, and fowls should lever he kept without them. Sand nixed with a small quantity of creo- lite will generally keep the birds froin lermin. Finally divided gypsum, nixed with at small quatntity of paraf- in or carbolic, is still more successful 'or these dust baths, quickly getting id of any lingering pests that the )irds cannot reach -Fred V. Theobald. CAUSE OF CROOKED BREASTS. There is a great loss to farmers every rear in Ontario resulting from selling owl on the market with crooked beasts. The fowl in all ether respects s fly fit -class, but the buyer at once vants a discount of from 10 to 50 per ent. on account of the crooked breast, 'he fault would be much decreased, no loubt, if the cause and remedy was mown. The cause and also the re- nedy is found mostly in the roosts ad shelter provided. Poles and narrow perches are not citable for the large breeds to roost n when growing, as they grow fast nd their bones are soft until nearly Matured. The young birds will natur- lly press their breast against the per - hes, and that causes the breast bone D become crooked. Young growing hicks should test at night on a bed of Craw, hay or chaff. Some writers be - leve that crooked breast bone becomes o fixed that it is transmitted from the )wls to chicks. It is my opinion hat most cases of crooked breast bones i caused by bad perches and allowing large number to crowd together in mall boxes. -P. Greer. Souris, Man., Sept. 21, 1896. lessrs.

DRs.11111NEDYAt KEROM e No. 1.48 Shelby St. DETROIT, - - MICH. An oil well has been sunk in Gaspe which has produced 5,760 barrels a day. It is said that the contract for carry- ing the mail daily between Seaforth, Constance and Harlock, has been let to Mr. William McIntosh, of Constance. His contract commences, we are in- formed, on the first of August. After that gate, Constance and Harlock, will, therefore, have a daily mail service. This, also will remove from the road the familiar figure of Mr. Thomas Neil- ans, who, ever since 1872, has faith- fully served Her Majesty as mail car- rier between Seaforth and Harlock. For twenty-six years, rain or shine, cold or warm, through snowdrifts and through mud, Mr. Neilans has faith- fully discharged his duties, and has passed over the road three times each week, and can now retire with honor, although it will be hard for him to re. sign the charge into the hands of an- other person. Mr. Neilans also ten. dered for this dully contract, but al- though his flgnres were low, Mr. McIn- tosh' must have been lower. u ..�•/..�M.-.h...w-...:. _.r...a..,.....r...a YM..,.-Y_T ._.-r...[ W. �_ � . ..J_6.w� ..

He showed how it armer by taking advantage of the nigh price markets and raising a sup- :riorquality of inarket poultry ought to nake his hens pay him one dollar to one lollar and a half profit. His evidence vas of a great importance to the farm- ws. The best fowls for a farmer, Mr. xilbert thought, were thoroughbreds; f he can riot get them, first crosses. In its evidence, Mr. Gilbert showed that eleven hens of the Plymouth Rock and forking cross laid as many eggs during ,he year its the same number of silver -laced Wyandottes. THE HEN FLEA. The. fleas (Pulicidie) which are true nsects, belong to the order of flies Diptera). They live upon the blood of mimals. One species only lives upon she fowl, namely, the bird fleet (Pulex rallinae or avium), which attacks also nost other birds. The hen flea, as it is ;enera•lly called, is abundant in dirty 'owl runs, and especially in the nests vhere straw is used. The adult fled, is lark in color, and, as in all fleas, is de- void of wings. The fleas are provided Kith very sharp piercing nlouthb, their `Cod consisting almost entirely of )lood. They are not often seen on the 'owls, hence little notice is taken of ;hem. They are what are termed -partial pgrasites"-parasites that only ;o to their hosts to feed. The fleas are lot noticed in the birds because they Cener•ally attack them at night; then, lowever, they do much harm, causing :onstant irritation and loss of blood, Ind depriving them of rest. To suppress these pests, the houses Ihould be cleaned down at least twice Uyear with a wash made of tot lime, pher and soft snap, the ceilings, walls and nests having a good coating. Che wash should belairly liquid, so its o run into every crack and crevice. Che perches are hest treated with boil - ng water and soft soap, or with an 'mullion of kerosene or crewote. Chis latter insecticide is moot benefl- nal, especially in regards to mites. Dust baths are the natural remedy 'or lice and mites, and fowls should lever he kept without them. Sand nixed with a small quantity of creo- lite will generally keep the birds froin lermin. Finally divided gypsum, nixed with at small quatntity of paraf- in or carbolic, is still more successful 'or these dust baths, quickly getting id of any lingering pests that the )irds cannot reach -Fred V. Theobald. CAUSE OF CROOKED BREASTS. There is a great loss to farmers every rear in Ontario resulting from selling owl on the market with crooked beasts. The fowl in all ether respects s fly fit -class, but the buyer at once vants a discount of from 10 to 50 per ent. on account of the crooked breast, 'he fault would be much decreased, no loubt, if the cause and remedy was mown. The cause and also the re- nedy is found mostly in the roosts ad shelter provided. Poles and narrow perches are not citable for the large breeds to roost n when growing, as they grow fast nd their bones are soft until nearly Matured. The young birds will natur- lly press their breast against the per - hes, and that causes the breast bone D become crooked. Young growing hicks should test at night on a bed of Craw, hay or chaff. Some writers be - leve that crooked breast bone becomes o fixed that it is transmitted from the )wls to chicks. It is my opinion hat most cases of crooked breast bones i caused by bad perches and allowing large number to crowd together in mall boxes. -P. Greer. Souris, Man., Sept. 21, 1896. lessrs.

DRs.11111NEDYAt KEROM e No. 1.48 Shelby St. DETROIT, - - MICH. An oil well has been sunk in Gaspe which has produced 5,760 barrels a day. It is said that the contract for carry- ing the mail daily between Seaforth, Constance and Harlock, has been let to Mr. William McIntosh, of Constance. His contract commences, we are in- formed, on the first of August. After that gate, Constance and Harlock, will, therefore, have a daily mail service. This, also will remove from the road the familiar figure of Mr. Thomas Neil- ans, who, ever since 1872, has faith- fully served Her Majesty as mail car- rier between Seaforth and Harlock. For twenty-six years, rain or shine, cold or warm, through snowdrifts and through mud, Mr. Neilans has faith- fully discharged his duties, and has passed over the road three times each week, and can now retire with honor, although it will be hard for him to re. sign the charge into the hands of an- other person. Mr. Neilans also ten. dered for this dully contract, but al- though his flgnres were low, Mr. McIn- tosh' must have been lower. u ..�•/..�M.-.h...w-...:. _.r...a..,.....r...a YM..,.-Y_T ._.-r...[ W. �_ � . ..J_6.w� ..
