After explaining very fully 'the dis- tinct disadvantages of the statute lab- or system in road-niaking, Mr. A. W. -Campbell, Coinmissioner of Highways, outlines in his sixth animal report to the Minister of Public Works the chief points in, the system of road inanagemeat in townships • where im- proved methods have been adopted, Statute labor is coininuted at a fixed • rate per day, he affirms, and •the =omit collected along with the other taxes. The •township, if so desired, is divided into a convenient number of road divisions for road purposes, usu- ally two, three or four, and a com- missioner is appointed over each. The 'duties of* this officer are to supervise all work and repairs done on the roads and bridges within his divis- ion ; to keep hi tonch with modern ideas in the construction and main- tenance of highways ; to attend to the employmeht of laborand the purchase - of materials ; to act promptly in all eases of emergeney incident to wash- outs, etc. ; to collect the poll tax,and ' to report regularly to tile comicil. The usual road appropriation is made from the general funds of the town- ship, • and residents of the township employed to do the work, provided they come properly equipped and are prepared to do a fair share of the lab- or imposed upoti the employees. The number of townships turning from the 'ordinary method of perform- ing statute labor to systems of com- mits:aloft is steadily increasing.

By a un- iorgeting • the dairy ,aiul all- else per- animous vote the ladies, remained :to hear Mr. F, Elfordrs address on "Fat- tening chickens." He thanked the lad- ies, too, kir reinaining. He brought. a model crate for the inspection of those interested. The crates are 6 -ft. long, 10 It. wide and -.2 ft. high. When the chickens. are about two months old . those intended for fattening for honie : or foreign market are put in these crates, ofte in each compart- ment, and- kept there for four or five weeks. The food is ground oats and skint milk. There is. a. little trough in front where the food fs left and kept ,in good. order every day. The last ten or twelve days of their fattening per- iod one pound of tallow is distribut- ed in the food among fifty •chickens. A little grit is left with them and -salt. pat in their food. Then when when ready for market the neek1 is broken by the action of the forefinger and thumb, which breaks an artery as well. He says John Bull wants the head so give him blood and •all, for he says the blood' all gathers in °he spot .in the neck and a few featliers are left to cover the • discoloration. Then pluck the feathers while the bird is warm, as he says, breaking the neck paralyzes it and it suffers no more. Now all. this trouble is to make .the chick's flesh white and tender. Chick- ens that run around the batuyard get too much "Atoisele" and so become tough. The ladies then adjourned to the library and Mrs. Elford discussed Many Matters of interest to the household. She would like to see the ladies of our town become interested in the Women's Institute, as it was as notch to their interest as to the farmers' families. • Mar'eli 20th, 1902 .$ Pocket • Pocket -- Books 0 # • Books --I_Roivr 50 TO $1_50 • SEE THEM R.

He Said prayer was the g„reatest har- bor of heaven. Whi1e. the reverend gentleman yet told them to enter on their seasoii's work in all faith, as their net waS the word of the Lord and -the fishes they would catch should be the symbol of souls they should save, the waterworks whistle soundecj. three times, a signal for the lifeboat melt to gather, and on leaving church, alas, we were told titat Murdoch Mc- Guire inet a watery grave while the sermon was being given his knout fishermen. McGuire, Martin arid Lynn had gone out fit their boat and the winds rose and capsized it, but McGuire tried to hang on to the boat but the other), two swam and were picked up by the life -boat. Such a strange coincidence. Rev, Mr, Ander- son's words fit this SerltOn were pro- phettc. At the offertory the choir sang " 0 happy band of pilgrims." Rev.
