The hen can be thoroughly dusted with 'sulphur or in- sect powder and special pains should be taken to dust her head well, unlese she has been well greased several days be- fore betting. When the chick e are hatched the first thing to do is to grease each little head and neck thor- oughly with sweet lard. Remove the hen to a warm, dry coop, with a floor and door to prevent rats entering. An old. shoe box or other goods box, with a top covered with tar- red paper is good, provided there is a place cut out of the door covered with wire netting to admit air.

A little extra care of your hens and a bit of choice feed will pay in eggs many timen. Don't be afraid of doing too much. Only be careful that what you do hits the spot. When a hen brings off her chicks, dust her with fresh insect powder, and grease her Shanks with coal oil and lard. Study to prevent disease more than to cure it. If disease enters your flock, remove the cause and the ailing birds at once. Buy a good poultry guide and study your business thoroughly at night and on wet days. Also read a good poultry journal. To succeed in your work you must love it; but at the same time make it harmonize withwhat the world de- mands of it. To keep chickens from eating with Your young ducks, feed the latter on a platform in the pond, level with the sur- face. To break hens from sitting, tie. two of thein together about one or two feet apart and place them where they can't hurt themselves. Have good, roomy houses for your fowls; they need not be expensive. They should be well ventilated and. kept clean. Don't neglect poultry on the farm. It should be one of your best paying crops, especially during the present period of high prices. Don't forget that newly -hatched chicks should not be fed before they are 48 to 60 hours old, Then give a little hard- boiled eggs. Go out from the city and where is there a farm without some sort of poultry? Many of the city people them- selves raiee poultry, and find it pleasant and. profitable. To get fertile eggs the hens must have plenty of insects and worms in free range, or else be fed with beef scraps and cut bone. In feet, such is necessary to get many eggs at all. If you want eggs don't allow the hem to be frightened. or chased by dogs. Give them plenty of exercise and fresh air. Also the premises must be kept in a san- itary condition. You can start in poultry without any capital at all, or at least with none to speak of. Again you may start with thouaands; but the chances of success are in favor of the poor man. The farmer need not take much time for poultry from hie regular -work. His wife and children can do most of the lighter details under his direction—or their own, if they study the business Well. When you are selling eggs in the gen- eral market for table purposes, you don't care whether there is it rooster in the yarn or not, but for hatching there ahould be one rooster for every ten eggs laid daily.

A subscriber to Canadian Farm, who is spending his summer abroad, sends the following interesting account of how anriculture in some parts of France is carried on. While the Frenen fel-morn methods are primitive as compared with those followed on this side of the At- lautic, he endeavors to utilize every por- tion of the and. There are no waste places around the fences. Every particle of land is cultivated and made to pro- duce its quota, time leaving no room for weeds to grow and take nourishment out of the soil that should go exclusively for plant food: "The Province of Touraine is known as the garden of France, and. the beautiful valley of the Indre, where I have been staying, is the richest agricultural region in the Republic as far as the variety end abundance of its product goes, rival- ling even. Burgundy in its vineyards. The day -worker ,who cares for the vines and superintends the picking of the grapes by the women and children, works for 50 cents a day, but he carries with him to his work it couple of juicy lamb cutlets or even a roast chicken, eo one may judge from this that his pay is suffi- cient for his needs in this land of plenty. "The French farmers reside in towns and set forth every morning to their work, so that the rolling valleys are seen for miles without a house, but every inch of the ground is cultivated and checkered with fields of yellow grain and blue vineyards. I do not take an artistic license in saying 'blue,' for the vines are all sprinkled with copper sulphate to destroy the butterfly eggs. The culti- vators are also burning nieotine around the vines. "At all the horticulturists I saw 'Am- erican Vines' advertised, and asked. a French farmer the meanine of this. He told me that good and bad things come from America; that some years ago a worm known as the cphyloxera! had been brought into the country from America and had eaten the roots of the vines throughout France, and that now the grape cultivators were grafting the Am- erican wild grapes on to their vines in order to strengtheu their roots. "In the field one sees the harvesters cutting the grain with scythes, followed by women who tie it in bundles, and. after the grain. has been tied into two - wheeled one-horse carts, the gleaners come and pick up little bunches of grain that the reaper e have overlooked. A reaping ma.enine of ancient date was pointed out to me with great pride by one of the peasants, for it is quite a novelty in this part of the country. "All the southern fruits, except the olive, are found here, and the French farmer is particularly clever in econom- izing space; he trains his grape vines up above a stone wall, and. forces his fruit trees to grow vinelike along the sunny wall below. His flowers are planted round about his vegetable garden, with hedges of roses and daisies, so that the whole place is both beautiful and uaeful. He takes infinite time; spends infinite pains and produces a finer fruit than we do in a smaller quantity. "A great many women work in the fields, and instead of using it whole herd of cows, you will meet it bent old woman leading a single cow along the roadside, where it crops the grass that grows by the way, or a little girl in wooden shoes taking care of a couple of goats. Horsestoo_ are scarce, and sometimes a dog is harnessed to a push cart to help hie master take the vege- tables to market, but most of the farm- ers own donkeys, and it is quite a pretty sight to see the little donkeys with their red tassels pulling a cart heaped high with cabbages, carrots and cauliflowers, while a fresh -faced peasant woman in a white cap and red apron.walks beside. "Altogether a more picturesque sight than ours. but far less agreeable." MAN WHO FINDS THINGS. Our everyday earelessnese, and the manner in which it providee a living for vagrants, is strikingly illustrated by a remarkable book written by W. H. Davies, the literary tramp. It was in a London lodging house that Mr. Davies met "the finder," a man who day after day walked. the streete of London with his eyes on the ground, looking for things which people had lost. Tn itcosi- fidential moment "the finder" showed Mr. Davies the contents of his locker in the lodging house. "When 1 saw the things he had I was astonished, for I believe thie man sould have made a, living by merely walking about. He had several fountain pens, one gold mounted, which must have cost 30 or 40 shillings. He showed me a gold pencil etiee and two silver ones; also a silver matchbox'finely emboeeed, which still contained the matches as it had been found. I saw several purses all of which had contained md money, an: there was a lady's silk parasol, which had been left on a seat on one of the peeks, and also a gentleman's costly cane found in the same way. "He showed me several articles of jewelry, such as rings, bracelets and brooches, and one pendant, which was a silver cross with a Chriet crucified in gold, which he had. found one Sunday Morning in Hyde Park. Even. booke— popular novels that had been left on seats, one of which may not have been forgotten but read and thrown away— were to be seen in this man'e locker. "The finder confeseed that sometimes he went for a whole day without finding anything of the least value, but on other days he was almost certain to find a. number of things. One of his methods wae to visit it heath or common after a bank holiday, when he invariably found something; of value. And he is appar- ently not the only one who follows this extraordinary occupation of looking for wealth on We ground, but he finds it necessary, after a bank holiday, to be on the spot he has in mind as aoon t.6 it is daylight, "for there are others that do the same." "The contents of his locker must have east the owners considerably over £100. Extraordinarily enough, he never at- tempted to- any of these things, for he possessed, a small incosne which was enough to keep him, and purposely kept himself looking like the commonest beg- gar so that people would take Jess notice when they saw him stooping to pick things up. "Another dodge to which he resorted. wae when he found an envelope lying on the pavement to take it to the ad- dress iviii*en on it, no matter whether there was anything in it or not; and if the person to whom the envelope was addreeeed did not offer to reward him for his trouble he would plead that he had walked several miles to return. the envelope, as he did not know but what it might be of some value. Needlesto say, he invariably reeeived it monetary reward after this explanation."--Tit- Bits. ;- WHAT MAKES POSTMASTERS BALD. (Reported v erbatim.) BUMBLE FOOT.

A ton of peat thus treat- ed, cononande about half the price of it ton of coal, but it les said that even, the best grade of eoal hats not twice the heating value of peat. As might be inferred from its kinship to coal, peat has a number of by-pro- ductof commercial importune°, retelt as dyes, ammonia and tanning materials. Experiments are now under way by chemiete looking to the fuller develop - men t of this potential asset in the wealth of the world. As one of the natured resources of the United States peat is bound to oc- cupy it place well to the front in years to come. It is a cheap source of heat and power, easily mined and readily changed into safe form for transporta- tion, and some idea of its prominence in the future commerce of the world may be gained from the fact that ex- perts estimate its total value at $40.- 000,000,000, because that is the only only way in which to judge him. Above all, we want a sire that will transmit individuality and performance to his female offspring, and how can the breeder tell about this until the heifer is old enough to be judg- ed at the milk pail? No promising dairy sire ought to be disposed of until he is four years old. Then, if he does not prove to be what one desires, the sooner he is disposed of the better. On the other hand, if he does prove to be a valuable sire, the longer he can be kept the better for the herd, providing he is safe-temperea and inbreeding is avoided. Australian beef and mutton sold in Great Britain to -day represent a very substantial profit to the graziers of the Commonwealth. One hundred years ago the Australian sheep had a covering which was described as being more like hair than wool. The average fleece then weighed 31/2 pounds.

If a bull is properly cared for pro- viding he is healthy and sound consti- tutionally, he ought to be in better con- dition and more vigorous at four years of age than he is at one year or eighteen months. Many a bull has lived to be ten or twelve or fifteen years of age, and was vigorous during Ms entire life. Some of the best bulls of every breed have lived. to be that age. As a mat- ter of fact, the value of o, bull is not known until he is four years old. There Is no way of judging accurately the val- ue of a dairy sire until his *heifers be- come cows. That would be when they are at lea.st two veers old, and this will make the bull four years old.

A salesman is the centre of activity In any retail business. lie is the visible of the store, and stands between the rnanagemeut and the customer. Stores are judged by the impression created by individual salespeople. A successful salesman knows his busi- ness so thoroughly, and commands the situation. Unless a capable salesman is connect- ed with the proper eort of concern his capability will never develop into real breadth. A good salesman endeavors to make sales that will be permanently satisfac- tory to the purchaser. He must be genial, attentive and re- spectful, but not subservient. Good health is one of the mod import- ant requisites of successful salesmanship. Every salesma.n needs recreation, but it must be sane recreation—the kind that will add vitality, and not sap it. In addition to all this every success- ful salesman must have intelligence, hon- esty, faithfulness, good nature, tact, courtesy and patience. The New New Power Plant of the E. B.

If the deposits of coal in the United States ever becomes exhausted the con- sumer may fall back on peat, a fuel up - ply as yet undeveloped. it is estimated that the peat deposits in this couutry cover an area of at least 11,000 square miles, and that they contain the enor- mous total of 13,000,000,000 tons. 1. Peat has been in extensive use in many of tne countries of Europe, nota- bly Ireland, Holland, Germany, Russia, France and Austria, for several cen- turies. In the United States peat deposits are found in the New England and other Northern States, aloug the Atlantic coast, in Texas, and on the Pacific coast, In parts of Maeeachusetts and Rhode Island may still be seen traces of aban- doned peat hogs from which early Co- lonial settlers obtained their fuel sup- ply. As means of transportation in- creased coal came into gradual use and finally caused the mining of peat to be discontinued almost entirely. Peat is partly decomposed and dis- integrated vegetable matter. Its origin is similar to that of coal, though the period of time required for its formation is considerably less. It varies in color from brown to black, and in texture is coarse and porous or light and spongy. When exposed to the air for drying it crumbles and is therefore difficult to transport for any distance unless con- verted into bricks. Peat abounds only in wet or marshy lands. The beds are nearly always found jut below the surface of the ground, and for that reason the cost of mining is comparatively small. No ex - A HAT FOR THE SWEET QUAINT GIRL.
