If they \voted oniy eay, "It does not pay me to keep itellifeH they ;mild caeily be believed, for I1 o doubt they woulhl be telling the truth. The trouble is they blame the hens, and not themsetven ae it is a base elander on the grea,teet braueh of ani- mal industry in which mankind is em - gaged. More people are employed in poul- try -keeping to -day than in any other part of the world's work. Leen year's poultry products amounted to 650,000,- 000 from. 23000,000 hens, an increaee of 30,00,000 over the prtwious year. It bas been said that the critics of any trade, professioit or calling are those who have been unsuccessful, and tide applye, with full force to poultry - keeping, elhooe who have failed con- demn it. There aro farmers evil° fail in business, teacners who fail in teaching, meehanies who fail at their trade, law- yers and pity:dello:4 who fail in their profession, and yet is any one so stupid or bold as to laim that there ie no mon- ey in any of these callings? The thought preposterotee Then why say -there is no money in. poultry -keeping? It is the individual that fails —not the class. The better knowledge of the value of an egg at food has been a large factor in the growth ef the industry. "Fresh eggs," that is the cry, and they are taking the plitee of meat at the break- fast table- at a pace that should snake the Meat 'leant sit up and take notice. At 40 eents a dozen eggs are now con- eidered as cheap for food as beefsteak at 20 cent; a pound, which is the price in most large cities. Besides, the large waste in bone and gristle, the cost of the "trimmings" in preparing steak in proper and palatable form makes eggs wietaily the cheaper, (Le well as the more Palatable food. Fresh eggs farm a con- epicuous part of the dietary in hospital and sick room, from which fancy prices can be .obtained for strictly-freseb stock. In this connection it may be in plate to addthat no egg is oonsidered. fresli When over six ,nays old. Thosewho sup- ply these markets, and others where this grade of stock is fully appreciated, such ae leading hotels, restaurants and fancy grocery trade, obtain from. five to tete cents per dozen over the top price. The importance to the producer of cultivat- ing and catering to this trade is so plain that he whoruns may read. (:f all people who are in a position to make money on. poultry, the farmer site in the 'driver's &eat,' He poesesses advantages beyond those of any obher man on earth ,and possessed •only by him. Here' is the proof: In the first place, the farmer has the land, and in many eases waste land of little value can be used for buildings and runs. In the next place, the cost of feed .is not in•oee than one-half, but, he says, he has to grow it. Much of it would be lost if the hens did not pick it up, scattered. around the buildings and in the fields after harvesting, when for several weeks e. a large Mel; cam pick almost their en- tire living. Even though the fanner Intel to raise all his feed, he can produce it cheaper than others can 'buy it, If the farmer charged. his dairy with the value oe all the hay and grain fed it, and all the labor expended in caring for it, he would. go into bankruptcy ev- ery year, and yet tbe farmer makes money in dairying. Somehow there is.,a difference, and a vast difference, whether a thing is produced or bought, a differ- ence between theory ancl test. Strew for litter for fowls to screech in is as necessary ae food and this the farmer generally has without expense. Chaff, which is valueless for fodder, is just the thing for litter. In the next place, the eost of lanai is nothing to the farm- er ,whieli is an. inepoTtant item to the professional poultry men. It is a side line to the farmer, and the work, if not done by himself, can be performed by his boy or girl, eeho en often be in- ducted to take an interest in this depart- ment. In many cases his wife has taken hold of it and has put to shame the profits of the dairy, considering the investment. There are three nasons why the farmer eh \ad keep foi'vils. Let us look at the fie \res where all the feed haa to be bought. the fowl of the aver- age size will constime 75 pounds of grain food per year, worth now about $1.60 per hundred, or $1.20. To be conserva- tive, piece the coat at $1.50 per year. A conservative hen will lay 125 eggs per year, on an average for a large flock. Many obtain averages as high as 150 to 175. Eggs are never less than 15 cents and. as high as 50 cents in winter. With & right .market ait average of 25 cents per dozen ean be maintained for the year's production, and if eggs can be secured at 24 cents per dozen the an- nual product is sure to bring $2.50, leav- ing a net profit of $1 per year per hen. This is a, low estimate, and can be veri- fied by any practical poultry -keeper. Now, suppose it costs the fainter 60 cents a year to keep a fowl, he would obtain a profit of $1.90 per head. By keeping 100 hens the farmer can pay from the profits the entire grocery bills for the average family. Certainly it pays tho fanner to keep fowls, or would pay hina if he -would keep them properly'', The (Mire cent of equipment for buildings, incubators and broaden is now placed at $1,50 per head. Where both labor and material have to be purchased. the i total investment for keeping 100 hens would 1:K% $150, with an annual profit of or 120 per eent, Does any farmer elaim that his dairy, or any other leraneli of agriculture pays him 1e0 per cent. upon hie investment for his work? Doet pay one-half or one-fourth, or one-tenth this profit for his labor? It pays the farmer above all °there be - 0141.160 it is a side line, with Icee outlay for both Weer and feed.

The rolloveeng oununary eonstitutes the conclusionarrived at:— Timothy hay, ina4l rations where it was fed, proved a very unfitotory feed for fattening lambs. Lambs fed shelled corn and timothy hay were very unthrifty. Lambs fed shelled corn and olover had made more rapid and more economical gains than those fed shelled corn and timothy hay, A ration of shelled corn and clover hay produeed better finish on lambs than a ration of shelled corn and timothy hay. A ration of shelled corn, ttort seed meal and clover hay, produced faster and more economical tains on fattening Iambs than a dratlon of shelled corn, cotton seed meal and timothy hay. The .addition of corn silage onoe daily to a ration of shelled corn and clover hay did not effect, to any appreciable extent, the rate or gain on fattening lambs. - The additton of corn silage once .dally to a ration of shelled corn and clover hay ,slightly reduced the cost of gains on fattening lambs, hut did not greatly affect their selling* value. .Laanbs receiving silage once daily anti clover hay once daily, at approximately the same quantity of hay as of silage. The grain consumption was affected very little by the addition of silage to a ration of corn and clover hay.

NOTE'S ON REES. The winter so far has been remarkably easy one on hoes wintering out of doors says Morley Pettit, the Provincial Ap'r- let. What in causing uneasiness at pre- sent is the naked vontlition of the clover. It remains to be eeeim how it will come through the freezing And thawing* of spring. "Alice are report ed to be had in some parts and the little rasrals ean do a, lot of hann in boxes where bees or combs are Packed. They are very fond of honey and deed bees and will destroy eombs to get access to either. They also find the packing material nice for making neste right elope to the cluster or bees. Of course this kind of thing would not be tolerated by the bees In :manner, but not they are asleep and will not defend themselves and suffer heavy loss from being- so disturbed. Win- tering boxes should by rightR, be mouse- nroof, but it is not always easy to have them so. The alternatitte is a free use of mouse traps and poison. Out-of-door wintered bees must by ail means be sheltered form cold winds. This is especially necessary on the ap- proach of spring when blood rearing will be starting and all the heat possible mut be retained in the hives to aid incubation. Remember that the brood chamber of a hive is an incubator whose temperature Is kept up by natural heat generated by the nurse bees who . "sit" on the eggs and young lavrce. If the hive Is cold the brooders haVe to sit eloser to gether and cannot cover so many eggs Of lar- vae. If the hive is warm they ean spread out and cover more brood. Thie means more young bees will be hatehed in the same time. Then when summer comes they will be more workers in the hive to gather honey. Anyone who thinks about this for a moment will eee wby all the hives ehould be kept warmly packed and sheltered' from veld Winds during what beekeepers call the sprint breeding up time, right up to settled warmer weather.

One wild and, blustery night I found myself at dinner alone with Rubinstein, the weather being terrific even for St. Peterszurg. The winds were howling round 'the house, and Rubenstein, who liked to ask questions, inquired of me what they repreeented to my mind. I replied: "The moaning of lost souls." From this a theological discussion fol- lowed. "There may be a future," he said. "There is a future," I cried, "e great and beautiful future. If I die first 1 shall come to you and; prove this." He turned to me with great solemnity. "Good, Liloscha, that i a badgaini and. I will come to you." Six years later in Paris I woke one night with a cry of agony and. despair ringing in my ears, such as I hope may never be duplicated itt my lifetime. Ru- binstein'e face was close to mine, a countenance distorted by every phase, 01 fear, despair, agony, remorse and an- ger.
