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. rnuniettte from this station, with veli- cele three thousand miles distant, Surely this is an Ulcetrio Age. I 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. blindness, until a rude, cheap kind of spectacles, made of leather• and spel lied glass, was invented, and put, wht Map Attccess, on the Russian markets How To Gain In Weight.
