Aluminium paper is now manufactur- ed in Germany, and recommended as a enbstitute for tinfoil. The paper used is a sort of artificial parchment obtained throngh the action of sulphuric acid on ordinary paper. The sh ets are spread oat and covered on one aid with a thin coating of a solution of resin in alcohol or ether. Evaporation is hastened by means of a current of air, and the paper is then warmed until the resin has agaia become soft. Then powdered aluminium is sprinkled upon it, and the paper enb. jeoted to a strong pressure to fasten the powder thereon. An amendment to the Municipal Act has been introduced in the Legislature to secure uniformity in elections. Under the present conditions, in cities, and towns and villages nominees must file a declaration in respect to qualifloa- eion before nine o'clock on the day fol- lowing the nomination or have their names from the list of names for the ballot. In townships the act works the other way. All nominees are allowed to go on the ballot paper un- less they resign before nine o'clock on the day following nomination. This has Ied to great annoyance in elections in townships, where many candidates have been nominated without their consent, while other nominations have been made as jokes. The townships will hereafter be placed in the same position as towns by the new act. ' Hon. H. R. Emmerson, Minister of Railways and Canals, recently was the guest of the Canadian Clnb of Cornwall at a dinner. Hon Mr. Emmerson spoke at ce,isrderablI length on Canada's na- tional railway, the Intercolonial. He related the history of the road from its inception to the present day, and claim- ed that the building of this railway, linking the various Provinces, had cem- ented the bonds of confederation. The Intercolonial had opened up trade be- tween upper Canada and the Maritime Provinces, and Ontario got the greater share of the benefits. It had brought the people of the various colonies to- gether, and had helped to wipe out sec- tionaliem and make Canada a nation. Ii'e claimed that the money spent on the Intercolonial was the beat invested money in Canada. Th.' interest on it came iu the development and prosperity A Great Health Builder Mrs, J. Hatcher, 224 Sherbrooke Street, Peterboro, Ont., and whose husband is a moulder at the Hamilton Foundry, states: "I had an attack of inflammatory rheumatism which left me in a very run down state of health, and in fact my whole nervous system seemed exhausted and worn out. I could not sleep and at times the pains in my head 'were almost unbearable. As a result of these symp- toms I was unable to attend to my house-- work, ousework, andfelt miserable most of the time. On the advice of a friend I began Awing Dr. Chase's Nerve Food, and cart say that it has proven of very great bene• lit to nee. I nm able to do my own work now, and feel stronger and healthier than I have for years. I can truthfully state that this is due to the use of Dr. Chase's Nerve Pood, which I consider a great feeeltli builder." Note your inereese in lvtieiglit while wing Dr. Chess Nerve Food, 5A cents, boxes for $2.50, at all dealers, or Ea. Bette k 00,1 Toit'e to of the country. Iu this it was like the. money spent on canals and subsidizing railway®. A considerable amount of discnesion has been published in the endeavor to prove the existence of direot correspon- rence 1eiween the ccourranee of large thunderstorms and the state of the solar aotivity as evidenced by the epook of sunspot frequency. Quite recently, Dr. A. S. Steen examined the data from a large number of stations in Norway, Sweden and Denmark, obtained during the period of 1873.1903. Ha concludes t let the epochs of maxima and minima of thunderstorms odour at or near the epochs of maxima or minima of sunspot frequency. In addition to the main period of eleven years a subsidiary per- iod of about 5.5 is also indicated. Deal- ing with the same subjeot, Mr. A. Hutt announoed at a meeting of the British Astronomical Association, that on al- most every occasion in his experience on wnieh there had bean a thunderstorm, a new spot had broken out on the sun on that or the next day, or that one of the already existing spots had greatly in- creased in magnitude. "WHISKY" COLD CURES. Danger of 'using Alcoholic Mixtures or Coal Tar Tablets. The most dangerous thing that one can do when affected with a dough or cold is to use a medicine that contains whisky or a tables tlnatis made of some coal tar product. Putting aside all moral object- ious to filling up with whisky or drugs because one has a oold, the injurious physical effect should be sufficient to keep one from using these strong medi- cines. The moat sensible as well as the only scientific way to treat a cough or cold is by inhaling medication that will kill the germs and give relief to the irritated mucous membrane in the nose, throat and lungs. Among the few remedies that are used in this way, Hyomei stands preeminent. Is is breathed through a neat pocket in- haler that comes with every outfit, and the first breath of its healing air relieves the irritation, and its continued use soon effects alshorough cure. The best people in Wingham always keep Hyomei at hand in the winter months, and at the first symptoms of a cold or bran. hial trouble, use the remedy and prevent eerions and lasting trouble. The complete Hyomei outfit costs but $1 00, extra bottles, if needed, 50 cents. We do not want anyone's money unless Hyomei gives relief and cure, and we absolutely agree that money will be re- funded unless remedy gives satisfaction. All druggists should be able to supply yon with Hyomei, or we will send it by mail on receipt of price, and every pack- age is sold with the distinct understand- ing that it costs nothing unless it cures. Write us to -day for a symptom blank, which we will send you free, together with treatise on catarrh, and how to cure it. When yon fill in and return to us the symptom blank, our consulting phy- sician will give your case the best of care and attention, and write you a letter of advice without charge. Booth's Hyomei Company, Buffalo, N. Y. EXPERIMENTS IN FRUIT - GROWING. For a number of years, extensive var• iety tests with fruits have been carried on at the Ontario Agricultural College and the various fruit experiment stations in the Province. These tests have given a good idea of what are some of the best varieties for the sections where the tests have been made. The following list gives the names of a number of these, whioh are now of- fered for co-operative testing. One of the objects of this co-operative testing is to distribute these leading varieties more widely that they may be tested in every township of the Province, and that each grower may select for himself and grow more extensively those which give the beet results on his farm. Over° 2.000 experimenters are already engaged in this work and are profiting because of its practical and educational value. The co-operation of all who are interested in fruit -growing is invited. Any resident of the Province who wishes to take part in this work may select any of the experiments in the list, and the plants for the same will be fur- nished free of cost. All that is required is that each applicant must promise that he will try to follow the furnished direc- tions, and will report the results each year on forms which will be furnished for the purpose. The experiment select- ed should be indicated by giving its number on the list. Experiment No I. Strawberries - Splendid, Fountain. Ruby, and Parsons -12 plants of each. Experiment No. 2.

The many expressions of disapproval of the teachers' salaries in the new school sot have produced good results, and important amendments are promised. In outlining the intentions of himself and his colleagues, Premier Whitney said; -"The situation as to rural schools is as follows;- "Firstly we have found that there is not a sufficient number of properly qualified teachers to meet the demand under the present law, and that this condition of affairs is likely to continue, to a greater or less extent, nutil the new normal schools are established and bo - gin their work. "Secondly, it has become evident that considerable difficulty will arise in work- ing out the provisions of the law as to increased ealaries dependent upon the assessments, which vary very muoh. For these reasons we think it best to make eertaiu changes in the law as fol- lows: - (a) The minimum grant of $300 per annum by the township to eaoh school section for salary will be retained. (b) An unconditional grant of 815 per annum will be made to each sec- tion. (c) A grant will be made for the purpose of equipment and accommoda- tion and (d) A grant of 40 per oent will be made on the excess of all salaries above $300 and up to $600. "This will work out as follows: - Appropriation for equipment and ac- commodation, $60,000: appropriation of $15 to eaoh section, $80,000; appropria- tion of 40 per cent on salaries over $300, $240,000; a total in all of $380,000. The, last annual grant to rural schools by the late Governmont was $118,000, and we increased this last year by $60,000. The Chest Pains of Bronchitis It the congh is dry and hard, if there is pain, soreness and tightness in the chest, if yon have difficulty in getting your breath, you have reason to suppose that yon have bronchitis. Lest it should become ohronio or lead to serious lung trouble, do not delay the nse of Dr. Chase's Syrup of Linseed and Turpen- tine, the moat certain cure for bron- ohitie. The Ailsa Craig council decided that local option had been parried in the recent contest and gave the by law its third reading. It appears that'of the 179 ballots found in the ballot box, five were blank and one was cast by the municipal clerk It is held that none of these should be counted. Of those remaining 104 were mareed for local option. Len McNamara of the Bruce Herald has served Bruce County with a writ for $600. In January, 1906, the then coun- cil allotted the county printing to differ- ent printing offices in the county, the miscellaneous printiog going to the Kin- oardine Reporter. The Herald was al- lotted any extra printing, consequently considers it ehonld have part of the mis. cellaneons, hent the writ. The county. connoil did net recognize the claim.

Dups the flock must be kept healthy. ere are a few suggestions for keep- ing them iu good condition, says :a writer in American Poultry Journal: Keep the poultry house warm and dry, for clamp poultry houses are breeding houses for disease. Scald out the drinking vessels every few days and keep them as clean as possible. The hens should always have a dust bath handy, winter and summer. This will help keep the fowls free from lice.; A little salt and pepper mixed with the mash is good for the hens. An unsuspected draft striking the fowls at night while on the perches is; responsible for many a case of cold' in the head and incipient roup. Stoic' up the cracks in the henhouse. A variety of food will help to keep: the heals healthy and will also be good for the egg production. The great factors in winter produc tion of eggs are cut bone or meat,; green food in some shape, clover or. roots and exercise. Forcing egg production is a danger- ous practice if the flock- is a good one. Keep them in good condition, and they' will do their part. Change the food for a day or two if the fowls have bowel disease. Half!• of the troubles of this kind can be traced to a lack of sharp, hard grit. • The best condition powder for the' poultry consists of clean quarters, good' food and pure water. Homemade Feeder. Nov that there is such a craze for! the feeding of poultry from hoppers, with the resultant saving of time and.' labor, any device which seems to meet w - t,- .3; N. •----r- i�,J-: I 1 , A GOOD FOOD HOPPER. the requirements of the everyday fan-' tier is hailed as a boon. 'Most poultry men are kept pretty busy attending to their pets and are willing to try any- thing which makes for time saving... The accompanying illustration shows n; 111 very shnple three compartment food hopper made from biscuit boxes. Six boxes will make five hoppers. The method of construction Is obvious, If the illustration is closely observed with especial reference to the dotted lines. The Useful Trap Hest. An advantage of trap nest testing of birds is that the "drones" can be sold off to the butcher and the feed bills] reduced by that much. It is a fact that a third at least of the food we feed is • fed to "drones" -to no purpose hens. How it would bring up the average of profit if those "drones" were all culled out and got rid of and none fed except those that had proved themselves at least fairly good layers! It is the "drones," the no purpose hens, that, lower the average of income for food fed. They are fed at a loss all the time, and the good layers have to pay for their own food and the food of. the "drones," too, before there is any- thing remaining for profit. • Which are you feeding, "drones" or great layers? Trap nests will tell you, just as the milk scales tell which are the no purpose cows, says A. F. Hunt- er unter in American Poultry Advocate. Snuffles In Belgian Hares. The most common disease and per- haps the worst that the Belgian bare is subject to is snuffles. In the treat-• ment of this disease atm to build up the system, says a writer in American • Poultry Advocate. Give food that is extra nourishing, put a little tincture of iron in the drinking water and the animal will probably be able to throw' off the disease. If you feed a mash put a spoonful of flaxseed in it, and if it is simply a case of sneezing and dis- , charge from the nose resulting from a slight cold nothing more in the way of treatffient will be required. 'It will be well to spray the nose with lukewarml water to which a little salt has been added. After spraying wipe dry. The Slate Turkey. The slate turkey is of American ori- gin, This fowl when right is nearly blue in plumage color, the shade resem- bling that of the blue Andalusian, the female being much lighter in color than the male. The standard calls for a plumage color si.'ity or ashy blue, , sometimes dotted with black. The standard weights are: Cock, 27 pounds; cockerel, 18 pounds; hen, 18 pounds; pullet, 12 pounds. • DisqualifyIng weights: Cock, less than 18 pounds; hen, less than 12 pounds. Standard Tiredly Vfrsns Serape. Wherever any one succeeds with' barnyard fowls they would grow Riche from standard bred. poultry. Just try it, those of you who are doing well enough with the common kinds,- and see what a difference there will .be be- tween 150 eggs per hen from each hen and seventy or eighty from the old kind, says the Feather. Xf you have not already done so, dis- pose of all ,fowls, young and old, not intended to be kept until another; year. Surplus +cockerels ars retained • until' winter or spring, when they should be WeighiPt asftut five to Six pounds.
