Look Better They Always Have—They Always Will That elusive something called style cannot be made in a factory. Good tailoring—the draping and cutting and modeling of cloth —is an Art, nothing less, Every good merchant tailor believes this with all his soul. He knows it from his own year's experience, patience and toil as a craftsman. He knows that merely to fit is but a small part of a good tailor's art. The right sort of clothes—the clothes you want— appeal as much through fitness as through fit. Through au air of distinction and elegance a good tailor can express tho best there is in you. He can make your clothes bespeak class, He eau preserve individuality. He can give personality a chance. You want such clothes and they can be had in only one way—they must be cut and made expressly, for you, from faultless fabrics, by that artist of merobants—a merchant tailor. These are tailoring facts. In neglecting them you wrong opportunity. E. C. WHITE`EI.001t ILSON WXNGt-IA► The Fashionable Men's and Ladies' Tailor TARIFT is rightly described as "Economical Management:" A shrewd business man is spoken of as thrifty because he saves.

The pulse is due to nu automatic expansion and relaxation In the wall oi' an elastic tube -the artery -caused by the jets of blood pumped into those vessels by means of a force pump -the beam. Each stroke of the heart is equal to one pulsation -viz, a rising and fall. hag of the arterial well. In health the average number of pulse beats per minute is about thirty-six to forty, Tho larger the horse the slower or fewer the number of beats per minute. According to an expert breeder, a very good place to tate the pulse is at the underside of the jaw, By rolling the tips of the fingers about a little they can be brought of) to the blood vessel. Don't 'press too firmly nor yet toe lightly. The animal must be kept still and quiet. In point of Importance the "character" of the pulse must be the best guide. That is to say, the blood vessel tutu/ impress us as feeling hard, soft, full, quick, small, wiry, regular or irregular. ';'Hese are niceties which require practice befare they can be fully ap- preciated. In disease — pleurisy — the pulse will be found beating about eighty tunes per minute (depending upon the stage of the disease), hard, wiry and irregular. In pulmonary apoplexy It may be beating 12d times per minute. When properly taken it forms n val- uable means of assistance in nscer• Mining the nature and progress of dis. ease. HORNED DORSET SHEEP. This Breed Commands Very Hlgh Prices at All Times. An expert, sheepmau says Dorset sheep belong to the middle wools. These are the mutton breeds sought after by. butchers on accouut of cut- ting so well on the block. In size the Dorset rams when developed will weigh from 200 to 2;30 pounds, some going a bit higher; ewes from 150 to 190 pounds. The wool is of good, fair length and fiber of the crisp, strong sort and at all times commands the highest price. Both the ewes and rams have horns, the rams, of course, much heavier, stronger and larger. Whether on ac- count. of their horns the Dorsets are less timid than other breeds I am not prepared to say. Nevertheless it is well established that no dog takes his first lessons in killing sheep from a Dorset flock, though a sheep killing dog proficient in the art will sometimes become foolhardy enough to attack them. Still, in and about the barns and . DOBSET BMUS. paddocks the Dorsets are exceptional- ly gentle, and a ram having a pro- pensity for butting and exercising on human ;beings is seldom found. The tywes are noted for their tenden- cy to breed at off season or to the spring. This enables the breeder to have his lambs born lu October and November, which permits him to place on the market what is justly consid- ered a hothouse lamb without the ne- cessity and expense of maintaining a heated barn for the purpose. No breed is its gent milk producers as the Dor- sets. 'Therefore the lamb from the time it is bora is forced to grow and if lambed under favorable conditions and with proper care should be ready for market in from nine to eleven weeks from the time it Is boru. The Way to Manage Cholera Herds. Carcasses of (logs which have died from cholera should be immediately burned or buried deeply and covered with quicklime. Separate the sick from the well bogs and divide the well bogs info two or more groups and sep- arate them as widely as practicable. As the germs of cholera gain access to the system only through the digestive tract, the line of preveutieu le well marked. All feed and drinking troughs should be thoroughly cleaned and die - infected. If the troughs are of metal holding thein over a blaze will be ef- fective. Streams that do not rise on the home farm should be suspected as a possible currier of infection, and for this reason water from wells Should be given. Feed sparingly, Where hog cholera serum is used the hogs should remain in the infected yards. Worms In tho Colts. Colts somethnes die trona worms Without the owner knowing what ails them. After weaning they are very susceptible to this aliment, as are alt horses, more or less. A good 'remedy is powdered tobacco in the feed twice a day.

Mr, Lloyd Smith, Of CoIdsvater, Ont„ is the proud owner of a large buff Orpington hen, which has ttclhiev- ed the remarkable feat of laying two eggs in one day, the second egg being laid within two hours after the first. Thio is no freak, for the herr has been laying two eggs in one day for up- wards of a Month. She is a twolear- eld hen, wel hle trine pounds, and has been in Me, Sfnith'e breeding pen during the pliant It seou. MtUSCOVY MAIM they are wild, they nest in the highest trees. They lay -fifty greenish eggs a sea- son, incubation requiring about five weeks. Drakes weigh from ten to twelve pounds and ducks from six to eight. They are pure white; or glossy blue black and white. They have caruncles on their face, like a turkey, and often molt bare, so that hunters may pick them right up. The drakes are great fighters. When angry they raise their crest, wiggle their tails, hiss and charge. They are the oddest, most ornamen- tal and finest table ducks. "Not tit to eat," replies Mrs. Know- it-all. "Our first Muscovy duck was . ,i`d1A;�.,-.:i• '� Nom' ASIISoovr NESTING, . our last. It was too strong. We threw It to the pigs." But listen, lady. Never get too old to learn. Muscovy isn't from Moscow, but from musk. This funny duck has musk glands in its rump, and to keep this musk from spoiling true flesh it must be kill- ed at both ends, First cut off the head, then the rump, roast it well and it's a trump. FEATHERS AND EGGSHELLS. If you have duck eggs for sale there is a market for them among the He- brew population in the cities. They bring more than hen eggs, and a card to a reliable egg firm will bring infero motion as to prices and shipping. As a proof that it pays to feed green food we need only state that in 0 year's test with 200 hens at the West Virginia experiment station 100 hens feel -greens with their grain and meat ration laid 11,452' eggs and the other 100 on au exclusive grain and meat ration laid 9,039. An egg eater will pick at a china egg for awhile, roll it, tramp on it, squint at it,. swear at it and walk away in disgust. After that she'll likely not bother real eggs. Just like the time wbeo a boy, slick, in a bag hid a brick and you gave it a good kick. Blackhead has not only destroyed nearly all the turkeys in New Eng- land, but a similar disease has spread to quail, and the Massachusetts fish and game commission is investigating the matter, as are Dr. Theobald Smith and Dr. E. E. Tyzzer of Harvard med- ical school tied Dr. Philip Iladley of the Rhode Island experimeut station.

If it just_reaches this side and our girls buy our big roosters At an Easter bonnet price, oh, bow nice: The duty on lien's eggs is 5 cents, but bird's eggs come in free.

BARNITZ. KURiOS FROM KORRESPONDENTS Q. I had so many chicks dead in the shell last season and wish to ask which part of the hatch the germ is most liable to injury from shock -too much heat or cold? A. The first week, especially for shock, eighth to twelfth day for ex- tremes of heat and cold. Q. Does it injure a show bird to let her hatch? A. No. After such a rest a hen is healthier, a better layer, breeder, molts and lays sooner and ie In better shape for show. ' Q. Do you help little chicks out of the shell? A. Very seldom and only when we see that dryness prevents chick from escaping. The chicks that can't get out are generally upside down, monstrosi- ties or very weak and amount to nil. Q. After a chick piens the egg how soon should it come out? A. In five to ten hours; quickest un- der hens. Q. I recently set an incubator with. 150 eggs and got twenty-two chicks. There were sixty infertiles and sixty- two rotten eggs, and six eggs were broken during hatch. How many of the eggs were fertile? A. Eighty-four. Infertile eggs are never rotten during a hatch. The six- ty-two eggs may Kaye been chilled. It's a wonder you got any chicks with that many spoiled eggs unless you test- ed them out as the hatch progressed. Q. I understand some fanciers bleach cream and brassiness from their show birds' plumage with hydrogen peroxide. How do they apply it? Does it cause injury? A. This is a faker's trick. You must buy from venders of "poultry secrets," so slick. Peroxide does not bleach out brass, but it bleaches the yellow from beak and legs and makes the feathers so brittle that any judge may discov- er the trick by simply rubbing and bending the feathers. It also causes temporary suffering. Q. I set an incubator and lien on the same date. The hen hatched her chicks In twenty-one days, and the ma- chine hatched in nineteen days, Will you explain? A. The hen hatched D. X., but you raw your incubator too hot, and its forced chicks will likely be weaklings. Q. How do you get broody hens to adopt incubator chicks? I fail in near- ly every instance. A. The hen must have been broody Poi a week or so. In the afternoon put chicks inkier her on nest and make it dark. Thus they will get acquainted, and the next morning take them oil' and feed, giving the hen whole corn and chick feed together. 13y this plan we have had hens take Chicks a week old, 1. i.i DON'TS.

Last Thursday the Winghapi police brought down a wisitor from Goderich and transferred him: to , Constable Gundry, of Goderich, who happened to be in town that day, for delivery at the jail. Mr. Henry Stokes of the Dominion Sugar Co. of Berlin, was in this vicin- ity this week along with W. Graham, inspecting some of the beet fields, They pronounce the crop as far as they have seen, the best in years, and with favorable weather the yield will be a record breaker. The home of Mrs. Chidley, Isaac street, was the scene of a pretty informal wedding on Thursday July 14th, when her second daughter, Clara became the wife of Mr. J. A. Con- stantine, Manager of the Molson's Bank, Zurich, formerly of the Clinton branch. A comparison of the cost of main- taining the different Houses of Refuge throughout the Province shows that the Huron Institution is the lowest, the inmates being well fed at a week- ly cost of 92 cents. In other re- spects, too, the comparison is very favorable to the House so efficiently managed by Mr. and Mrs. Match. The number of inmates are 85, about as usual at this season of the year. The two latest to be admitted were Angus Macdonald of Bayfield and Robert Dunbar of Wroxeter. There was not a deathan June and none in July so far, the old people standing the heated term well. About Summer Eggs. One of the largest produce dealers in Canada has said that the most of the eggs coming to the market at the present time are of a very infer- ior quality. He claimed that eggs were good in the spring because the fanners fed their hens grain and took better caro of them than they do during the busy summer menthe, when fowl are allowed to shift for themselves, eating bugs, n t s grass and r other soft substances which tends to produce a watery egg. Watery eggs have not the substance to stand the intense heat during the months of July and August and as a result de- teriorate quickly in quality. N.
