It is generally true that short•legged fowls fatten a great deal more quickly than Iong•legged once. It is easier to keep fowls in a good condition than to allow them to run down and then build np again, Neat eggs are not needed to induce herie to lay. They have no influence whatever over the hens, and have been discarded on most farms. Nests in the poultry house are prefer- red by the hens, if the nests are cora, fortable, but when the houses and nests are filthythey will seek laying planes outside. Fowls are very fond of wheat, but they should not be allowed too much of it. An excess of this raw grain will very frequently induce n looseness in the bowels. A ration of about one• fourth wheat will be snificient of this grain. Shade is necessary for poultry these warm days. The orchard will afford splendid range for the fowls ifyamhave planted a clover crop for the orchard. Eggs must be kept cool these hot days, if they are not used promptly. Gather every day, store in a cool plaoe until they are used. For the beat results, they should be kept in an ioe-box, Poultry feed for the best result°, should be changed occasionally. A var. led diet insures a good appetite, and is of much value in regulation of the bow- els and keeping fowis healthful. The kerosene spray is a valuable pre ventive of lice and mites during sum- mer, The porches, nests and interior of the house should be thoroughly sprayed frequently, to keep down these trouble- some pests.

Paying for Laziness. The idea of advertising in Bummer time is foreign to some business men, because they have never thought about it before, having become slaves to the custom of their fathers or predecessors in the businesses they are now handling. It is not always true that a new broom swoop clean; it is occasionally true that a new broom is just moved over the old ground. That means, as applied to some business men, that they sink into a partially comatose state in the summer time, summoning up jnet enough energy to "muddle through," their excuse to their own oonsoienoe being that they will make np for it in the winter time, And they certainly do, for they have a lot of lost ground to make up then, and a great deal of missionary work to do that should have been 'going along steadily all the time in the advertising columns of the Tmnts. t LONDON, ONTARIO Business & Shorthand SUBJECTS Resident and Mail Courses , Jr., C.A., Catalogues Free J.

Only eight iron mines aro in operation, and only one of these is producing as much as 100,000 tons of ore in a year, it is true; but active pre- parations are being made in the eastern provinces for :exploiting the recently - proved deposits of ore on a Large soale, At present the chief Canadian blast furnaces draw moat of their ore from Belle Isle, in Conception Bay, near St. John's, Nfld. Newfoundland is very rich in iron ores, and nearly 1,000,000 tons are raised annually, most of which is used in Canada. But enormous and rioh reserves of hematite ore have been found in New Brunswick within easy dietanoe of large coal fields. Deposits of hogh quantity and high quality have also been proved in Ontario Quebec and Nova Sootia.in the east, and in Vancouver and British Colombia in the West. Repent iuvestigations con- ducted by the Department of Mines, coupled with private prospecting, in. spire the hope that Canada is as rich in iron and steelmaking materials as the United States•-Oassles's Magazine. Sir Wilfred's Tour St. John Telegrrph: The letters and the despatches show Sir Wilfred at his best. He is an old man now, with many years of encoese behind him and the fair promise of other years of success to oome. He speaks with the deoision and confidence whioh are becoming only in men of great achievements. Much of hie abounding and inspiring faith in this Canada of onrahas been already justi• fied by events; but he looks forward to still greater progress, and as he goes among the people there is everywhere to be seen convincing evidence that his faith in the future is sure to be justified. His trip throngh the west will be the most enooessful by far ever made by e public man since this confederation was formed. The premier has no pert,onal enemies, and even his political oppon• ents cannot withold from him a meas- ure of administration because of the greatnees of the work that be has done and the magnetic and inspiring "person. ality that is hie. Politically, the west- ern trip is the despair of the opposition.

Sawdust is usually regarded as an objeotionable product because it inorea- see the danger of fire if deposited near mills or lumber piles and necessitates either cartage with accompanying ex- pense or the construction of a "burner" and the use. of conveyors or carts to transfer it from the saws. A double economy, however, is now in progress. As a result of the use of band saws instead of the old oiroular and gang saws, a log that, under the old system produced 8 boards, will now produce 9, a very enbstantial increase in prodnot with a corresponding decrease in the amount of sawdust produced. Owing to its chemical and .meohani. cal properties, it has an ever inorezeing field of usefulness, Used as an absorb. ent for nitro-glycerine, it produces dy- namite. Used with clay and burned, it produoes a terra-cotta brick full of small cavities that, owing to its lightness and its properties as a nen-oondnotor, makes excellent fire -proof material for partition walls. Treating it with fueled caustic alkali produces oxalic acid. Treating it with sulphuric acid and fermenting the sugar so formed, produces alcohol. Mixed with a suitable binder and com• pressed, it oan be used for making mouldings and imitation carvings; while, if mixed with Portland cement, it produces a flooring material, It is an exoellent packing material for fragile articles and for dangerous explosives and can be ,used as packing in walls to make them sound proof and cold -proof, Easier for Candidates. In view of the large proportion of candidates for the entrance examin• ations who failed to make the required number of marks to get them through this year, on acoonnt of the alleged "triokiness" of some of the questions, the Minister of Education of Ontario has authorized Boards of Examiners throughout the Provinoe to grant at their discretion, for the present year, pass standing to candidates who have made leas than forty per cent. in any one subject, but who have made sixty per oent on the aggregate marks.

Accompanying his annual letter, in which he asks the readers of the Trues to send him the' names ane post•offioe addresses of any boys or girls, known to them, whose eyesight is so defeotive that they oannot attend the Publio Schools with advantage, Principal Gar- diner, of the Ontario Institution for the Education of the Blind, at Brantford, sends a card on whioh he has printed, without ink, the letters used by the blind in their reading. These lettere are oomposed of raised dots or points, ar- ranged in two horizontal rows, and the combinations of points tbat have been contrived to represent the various literary, numeral and mustoal characters are most ingenioaa.

RIGHT AQVgRTISING PAYS Every advertising solicitor for a local daily or weekly has heard these object. ions: "It wont pay me," "I've, tried it but it does not pay," "Yes it pays him, but hie line is different from mine," "If I were on the wain street I would ad. vertise," "There's nothing in advertis- Eng, it's nothing bat a fake," eto, Now in nine times out of ten, these men do not know whether it will pay then or not, They have, perhaps, advertised, and without a resulaut increase in bus. inose,, yet that is no proof that adver, tieing does not pay, No it simply proves that it did not pay that man that time, and very likely the reason for the failure lay entirely within himself. He did not know how to advertise, Re- cently some one looked up the adver- tisements of the men who claimed that their advertising had not paid them. The reason immediately became plain. One changed his ad. every three months or so. Another devoted himself to hot air and general statements, A third used space that was absurdly small for his store, with the result that returns were small in proportion, A fourth used a plan that made hie competitors laugh -and made him successful, CARTERS( ITTLE IVER PILLS.

It is really most remarkable that the reports of short crops have been turned to account maliciously and for the pnr- purpose of diverting immigration from Canada. It looks as if a oonoerted movement has been projected by some influential syndioate, or probably by officials of the American government, that circnmstanoes have been magnified, and for a purpose which will certainly miscarry. The American papers have been sent despatches from Washington, and of a semi-official kind, representing the oat - look in Canada as very bad, so bad that the people are deserting the country in thousands. Some time ago it was asked, in Wash- ington, "What oan be done to arrest the movement northward and oat of the United States?" The answer seems to be in the lying reports which are in cir- culation. They have not had ranch ef- fect so far. They have put r, check up- on the land boom, but that is all. The people are holding to the farms, consoioue that the Drops oannot always be enormous, and that the prodnot in Canada will be very good. There are streaks in the newer provinces, and in all of them, where the yield will be light, but there are divisions of land, and large divisions in whioh the yield will be a normal one. The crops in some parts of the United States are very bad, Is that a reason why the Canadian press should advertise the laud as aban- doned? -Kingston Whig.
