TI.E. WINGHAU ADVANCE, THURSDAY, JUNE 24, 1909..
TSE )3;UQTRICAL AGE..
(Stratford Herald,)
This has been aptly designated as
the Electrical Age. A few years ago
(and not so many but that those of
us who are not yet very old may re-
member) we had the Steam Age, a
time Vhen the *Hinds of inventors
were practically directed to the uses
to which steam could be applied.
The result of these inventions will
be evident to the end of time,
During the past few years electricity
has been in the ascendancy, and
electrical inventions; bane literally
turned the world upside down.
It would be useless to attempt to
enumerate the new things given to
us during the last generation, but
among the most common and useful of
the new inventions and older ones
which have been perfected so as to
make them practicable, are the tele-
phone, the electric light, and the
motor by which electricity is made
to run machinery of all kinds.
It requires no great stretch of
imagination to make us feel that we
are to -day living in a veritable fairy
land.
You touch a button and a flood of
light fills the houses and parks em-
anating from little bulbs of all the
'colors of the rainbow. Another and
the most melodious music fills the air;
reproductions not only of instrumental
music, but also of the very .voice and
words of absent ones, one of those who
have gone to their long homes.
You speak in the ordinary voice to
a friend a thousand miles away, You
board a car and without any appar-
ent motive power, ere carried along
at the rate of a .mile a minute.
A new arrival on the earth having
been told all these things, after look-
ing about for a short time could say
with the Queen of Sheba, "The half
has not been told me."
Not the least of the inventions
prominent before the world to -day is
the Electric Railway, with its bands
of steel on which its cars shoot back
and forth driven by an unseen power,
carrying their loads of living freight,
the rich, the poor, the happy and the
sad, swiftly' and 'safely to their desti-
Ntion. Not only so, but also distri-
buting to aII parts of the land the
necessities and the luxuries of life.
POULTRY NOTES.
Remove coops to fresh ground fre-
quently.
Don't feed much, if any, corn in hot
weather.
If you over -feed you have fat hens
and fewer eggs.
Thefirst food for chicks is bread
crumbs well mixed with clean white
sand.
Feed chicks at first about every
three hours, and less frequently as
they grow older.
It may be advisable once more to
recommend occasionally washing of
roosts with kerosene.
It takes more food to grow the
larger breeds of fowls, but you have
more to show for your work.
A hen that exercises will lay twen-
ty-five per cent, more eggs than a
hen that doesn't, and at less cost per
dozen,
Varieties of black chicks at first
show a white or cream color, but this
gives way to black in a short time.
At the first indication of bowel trou-
ble in chicks a lady gives boiled milk
and sprinkles their runs with charcoal
and sand.
Fill empty egg shells with mustard
and cayenne and leave them about the
yard for egg eating hens to indulge in.
It often cures the habit.
A two -weeks old ehicken, says a
writer, requires as much medicine in a
day as a six -months old child, a site
months old chick as a year-old child.
Some roosters are so gallant that
they step aside to permit hens to eat
and do not get enough themselves,
Don't let a rooster fail of sufficient
nourishment on that account.
Small deeds and cracked grains are
the natural feeds for small chicks ;
meal or dry bread is good for them.
Lots of simple things Idako good feed.
There is nothing about nature that
suggests a steady diet of soft feed, al-
though a change is good for them.
Practically and truthfully so, there
has been nothing new and improved
in nature the last one hundred years,
notwithstanding the talks to sell
stuff.
Fowls should have a, comfortable
place to roost. This ;Weans that the
roost must be on alevel so they will
not crowd; not too high for them to,
reach easily, and, since the time spent
on the roost is usually the coldest part
of the twenty-fonr hours, the heat
generated by their bodies while on the
roost should be retained as tnueh as
possible duringgethe cold nights, but
allowed to escape on warm or hot
nights. It does not take more than
square foot for each hen to provide all
these facilities for cotnfortp,b7e roost-
ing,
Wireless telegraphy has not yet
reached the limit of its usefulness.
Recognizing its effectiveness, the
United States Government is erecting
In 'W`ashfngton, a concrete tower site
but;deed feet high, with a base of dity
feet square, and eight feet square at
the top, This tower is to be used as
part of the system for a wireless stat-
tion intended to cover the North A,t•
fatale Ocean. Wonderful to thtok
and realize, that it is expected to OM.

cele three thousand miles distant,

CONSUMPTION ON DECREASE.
i)r. William Osler, Regius Profes-
sor of Medicine at Oxford, and an
eminent Canadian, declares that tub-
erculosis is on the decrease. In . one
generation he thinks the mortality
from the disease has been reduced
fifty per cent., and he looks forward
to the time when its ravages will
be reduced to the extent that those
of typhoid fevei: have been. Statis-
tics bear out Dr. Osier's encouraging
view, For example, the percentage
of death rate adjusted to each ten
thousand of population in Boston was
25.09 in 1000, It had fallen to 17,31 in
1908. In St. Louis it was 17,40 in 1900
and 15.10 in 1908, In Brooklyn it was
20,00 in 1000 and 10,04 in 1008. In New
York (old city) it was 25.07 in 1000 and
22.03 in 1908. In London the rate in
1900 was 17,50,vhereass in 1008 it had
fallen to 13 38..In Berlin it was 24.52
in 1900 and 18.19 in 1908. In Vienna,
88.40 in 1900 and 27,53 in 1008 and in
Paris 40.10 in 1000 and 38,09 in 1908.
These statistics may not be altogether
conclusive, owing to their lack of
uniformity, but the personal. observa-
tions of Dr, Osler on the decrease of
the disease may be taken as serviceable
testimony. Tho evidence that the
disease is controllable and preventable
ought to encourage the public to great-
er and more concerted efforts to stamp
it out, One way is by education.
Canada's Publications.
According to .the 1900 edition of the
Canadian Newspaper Directory, re-
cently issued by the A. McKim adver-
tising Agency of Montreal, Canada
now has over 1400 periodical publica-
tions. This number is made up as
followa :-135 dailies, 1015 weeklies, 202
monthlies or semi-monthlies and 14
published less frequently,
Some 'Laying On."
'tLaying on hands" for complaints
especially in children, is now taking
the place of Christian Science. A
mother cured her boy of the cigarette
habit with one dose. She laid her
left hand on the boys neck, her right
hand on one substantial slipper, and
' then laid the slipper where it would
do the most good. It effected a cure
and a relapse is not looked for,
A Mother's Brutality. .
Because she resembled a disliked
sister-in-law, Mrs. Nelson Lajoie, of
Aylmer, with nine children, is alleged
to have tortured her daughter of 10
until she almost died. The child is
now in the hospital, her body a mass
of bruises, the head being disfigured
by five cuts, The neighbors say that
Mrs. Lajoie made the child run back-
ward and forward in front of her while
she struck her with a stick, also that
she tied her hands while hungry and
placed her where she could watch
others eat. The child willingly ate
potato peelings,
Over Half A Million.
Up to the present time the Provin-
cial Treasurer, Hon, A. J. Matheson,
has received over half a million dol-
lars in subscriptions to the public Pro-
vincial loan of $3,500,000. The
Treasurer's mail bag is daily deluged
by subscriptions and applications. It
is interesting to note that, with the
exception of one or two large pay-
ments, the applications are pouring in
from individual citizens desirous of
investing small amounts. That the
interest is general is noted from the
fact that all parts of Ontario are re-
presented, and scores of ladies are
among the investors.
Will Be Big Berry Crop.
All signs point to an extraordinary
strawberry crop. "There will be
cheap strawberries this year," said a
grower. The plants have thrived in
the weathetoof this spring. The wet
is much to the liking of the berry.
Prost has kept away. Not a blossom
has been lost to the frost kings. --a most
unusual thing. The vines are simply
loaded with berries which are fast
hastening towards the ripening stage,
while the blossoms continue to appear.
"Give us not too much dry weather,
with a sun not too hot, and there will
be an overproduction of strawberries,"
said a dealer. It might be that berries
woold in some places be found not
worth picking, because of an over:
supplied market.
Spectacles for Cows.
"There are cows that wear glasses
in Illy country," said the lluseian
traveller. "L once saw a herd of 40,-
000 cows with glasses on;
"It was on the steppes, the 'RAO
Russian prairies. For six months in
the year our steppes are covered with
snow, batt during a part of the time
delicate, fresh grass tips pretruded
from the white Ansi ,Ola ling mantle.
The eows are been titrltegl o.nt to peed
on the new grass ; but, if their oyes
are unprotected, the dazzle of sunshine
on the snow gives them snow blind-
ness, Thousands of cows suffered
horribly, and hundreds died of snow.
