(Toronto Saturday Night) The postal service of Oanada ie one of our best boasts, and it is mauaged by competent men. There is more undilut- ed patriotism put into the postal service 'of this country than into anything else of or belongeng to no, The mail bag is a thing sacred. It is handled with awe. It is meddled with at one's peril. The bewhiskered farmer driving his Clydes- dale through the snowdrifts with a mail bag under the seat of his cotter, the far - wrapped half-breed scooting in his dog- e sled in the glaoial ncrth-these men are on the King's business and they fear neither the face of man nor the fury of the storm, but make their appointed journeys. Far and near it is understood that the carrier of the mails has the right of way on any road, that he oan seize your horses or your cart or your boat, so that, whatever happens, His Majesty's maile shall not be delayed. For a pittance, men ride by day and night, moss raging torrents, tramp on snow shoes through blizzards, go hun- gry, frozen, sleepless, drenched -climb oat of warm beds in the winter's dark and tramp with chilled marrow to the village railway station, to get the pre - cions bag toned from the flying oar. No other public service imposes so many discomforts on those engaged 1.n it, and dangers, too, for the mailcarrier Crosses the river in the flo3d when no other man dares it, and the naafi stramer leav- es dock in the stortn that ties other ves- sels up: There is a devotion in this ser- vice that story writers and poets have rade enough of. The carrier al- worebips that stiff armful of loath - that he bears with- him. An army of asters and clerks are imbued with ame feeling. thio ie well enough as far as it but it is scarcely right that our fin- rvice. should be wrung from men re miserably underpaid. A postal e was an absolute necessity in this I ironntry, and men worked for nothing to establish it. The first postmaster at any one point is utmelly a man so much in- terested in seeing postal conveniences placed there that he cares little about re- muneration. The nation has imposed upon title °lase of men. When the pioneer postmaster dies, his successor re - 4 r'..

Does he do it? Hardly. "Tilia would be a very newsy paper," explained one of them to his subscribers, "were it not for the fact that each of the four men who work on it has many friends. By the time all the items that might injare some of their friends are omitted very little is left. "I wish you would print a piece about our school•teacher," said a farmer's wife to nee one afternoon. "Say that she is the best teacher in the oounty." "But I can't do that -two hundred other teachers would be angry. You write the piece, sign it, and I'll print it." "What are you running a newspaper for if you can't please your subscribers?" she demanded -and cancelled her sub. scription. So the country editor leaves out cer- tain good things and certain bad things for the very simple reason that the per• sons most interested are close at hand and can find the individual responsible for the statement, He becomes wise in his generation, and avoids chastisements and Iaw snits. He finds that there is no lasting reward in a sneer, no satisfaction in gratifying the impulse to say things that bring tears to women's eyes, noth- ing to gloat over in opening a wound in a man's heart. If he does not learn this as he grows older in the service he is a poor country editor. -Charles M.

With proper Care and the use of Mt.o•na stomach tablets, the very worst case of indigestion or stomach trouble oan be Completely cured. It is a sin to deprive oneself of enjoy- ment in life and become a burden to others through indigestioa. The backaches, headaches, distress after eating, loss of appetite, gulping up of undigested food and gases are not natural. Mi-o•naestomach tablets used for a few days before meals will so strengthen the digestive organs that you can eat anything you want without fear of distress or resulting sickness. The directions for taking Mi.o.na em- phasize the difference between this remedy and the ordinary medicine that is given for indigestion. Mi-o•na is to be used before meals, strengthening the digestive system for the food which is to be eaten, whileethe ordinary:remedy is taken after meals, and simply digests the food without strengthening the stomach, We absolutely agree that your money will be refunded should yon buy a 50cent boil of Mi•o•na stomach tablets and not be satisfied with the results. Mi•o•na is sold by druggists everywhere, or will be sent by mail on receipt of price, 50 cents. Write to -day for a free sample pack- age, and also give us your symptoms, and one of the best known stomach specialists will give your case his care - fel and personal attention without charge.

The heaviest and fiercest snow storm we have experienced this winter set in on Monday night and o manned with unabated fury until Wednesday night, when it gradually began to let up a little. The fall of snow was quite heavy all this time, and the wind blew a very respectable harrioane, the result baing that the highways and byways were completely drifted up. The most disastrous fire that has visit- ed this town for many years occurred about three o'clock on Tuesday morn. ing, when E. It. Talbot's dry goods and general store was completely destroyed, together with all its °entente. It was owned by Geo. Green, of Gorrie, and was worth $2,000, which is partly Covered by insaranoe.

It Isn't bard to see why fresh cut Peen bene has given such phenomenal- ly successful results to poultry rattl- ers the world over,. says a writer in Western Poultry Journal, It simply is the most available food product that has yet been discovered to supply fowls with the elements most difficult to get from grain and moat needed -to make bond, to make mus- cle, to make Feathers, to make eggs, to maintain health, vigor and vitality. That's why green bone doubles the egg yield. It contaius more than four times the egg producing value of grain. That's wby green bone makes eggs more fertile. It tones up the entire system and fills the head of the flock with vile and vitality. That's why green bone makes stron- ger, livelier chicks at hatching, Bone fed hens lay egg° with life and vitality in them. That's why green bone develops earlier broilers and earlier layers. It promotes growth and the develop- ment of bone and muscle by providing abtmditnt material for making bone and muscle. That's why green bone makes heavier market fowls. It gives a good framework to start with and helps lay on heavy flesh. That's why green bone makes red combs, bright eyes and glossy plum- age, It gives a tone to the entire system of the fowl that nothing else will. The Molting Period. The best care should be taken of our fowls to keep them in good condition during the trying period of molting. It is a great drain upon their vitality to grow a new coat of plumage. • Too often the needs of our fowls are total- Iy Ignored during this really critical season because they have dropped off= in egg yield, says American Poultry Journal. It .1s best to select such fowls from one's flock as you desire to retain for breeding and market the balance before they begin to sheds their feathers. We are too apt to look' on time spent on our Biddies getting their "new clothes" as lost, not giving due credit to them for the long months of faithful service given in filling the egg basket and hatching and rearing our young birds. In consequence when eggs grow scarce we call into use the hatchet, and not infrequently, the most useful members of our flocks lose their heads because of the ragged condition. Farmers rind Poultry. The farmer has a real grievance against the poultry fancier in that he has done all of his crossing and in- breeding of fathers, daughters, uncles and aunts without any regard to•prac- tical utility, says Farming. Whether the hens from which he has been breeliug were prdducing sixty eggs a year or 200 matte no difference. His whole -aim has been to breed out a foul flight feather or two or to create a bet- ter comb or eyo:e of a better tint at a sacrifice of evoyytbing else. The re- sult is that when a farmer goes into the market to buy thoroughbreds with his money in his pocket ready and will- ing to pay for the best stock he not on- ly often pays for qualities he does not need, but actually pays a premium for something that has been obtained at a sacrifice of the very qualities which he does need. There are a few men, how- ever, raising thoroughbred stock •that is "bred to lay" or to meet certain mar- ket demands, aud those are the men that should be patronized. White holland Turkey. The white Holland turkey is said to be a native of Holland. This breed of turkeys as described by the American standard of perfection is far and away a Iarger and much more beautiful fowl than the common white turkey of Hol- land. The standard weights are: Cock, 26 pounds; cockerel, 18 pounds; lien, 16 pounds; pullet, 12 pounds. DisquaIify- ing weights: Cock weighing less than 20 pounds; hen, less than 12 pounds. The plumage is pure white through- out; shanks and toes, white or pinkish white; eyes, hazel; head, rich red, changeable to bluish white. Bad /labile In Poultry Culture. There are a few bad habits in poultry culture. Among those none are so in- jurious as lack of exercise, overfeed- ing, overcrowding and the presence of insect vermin, says the Feather. The union of these four destroys many that Might otherwise be prosperous flocks, and this can be traced to either the ignorance or neglect of the attendant. Either or all should be blamed upon the caretaker. In this day of poultry enlightenment no one Can present a reasonable excuse for ignorance, and there cannot be any possible excuse Offered for carelessness or neglect. Delaying PUlleta! 1lfaturity. You can keep pullets back from Lay- ing by Ihoving them from one place to another as soon as they show decided- ly reddening combs. A poultryman. Who wants to get large size on his Barred Reek pullets follows this plan each season, with the result that he holds theta back an average of abet* A month, he thinks, and when they do begin to lay they lay larger eggs than do small pullets and keep right along at the laying, Helgian Marie Fiesti Por Ii'ovvls.
