GOOD PROFITS.
Poultry farming can 'be euecese-
Till only ,when there are proper fa-
eilities and when there is constant
attention gi•ven. Poultry farmers
re hard workers. They are at their
post from early to late, :and enjoy
no vacations. But the 'work is net
heavy; it is tiresome to some be-
cause of the sameness, but to one
who is interested and 'really loves
the work it becomes a labor of
. pleas u re.
Taking the standpoin.t of the man
• who is about giving up city life in
eird.er that he may engage in an
outdoor line of work, and at the
me •time with good 'prospects of
• making :a fair living, not necessar-
ily a big one, I would suggest that,
inasmuch as the average beginner
knows little Of the "mysteries" of
the occupation, that he make a
start in a, small way, 'beginning,
say, with 50 of 100 head of fowls,
• and frons them raise his next years
pullets.
There is no disputing the feet
that there is moye profit in poultry
culture, for the capital invested,
than •there is in any other outdoor
work, but the business must be
conducted on strict business prin-
ciples.
Some working eapital is requir-
ed.. Money will be need.ed to buy
the property to put.up the building,
to purchase the foundation stock,
to pay the feed bills, and to meet
other expenses that will in the
course ei the year bob up.
Conservative estimates ef profit
range from one to. three dollars
per bird. These estimates are bas-
ed on the experiences of poultry-
men all over the country.
Cost Per Foul.
The average cost per year of
keeping a, fowl is $1.80, or 15 cents
per month.
Some men devote their plants en-
tirely to egg producbien, using the
Wliite Leghorns for that purpose,
, its owner, but it is affording him a
congenial oecupation, and, above
all things, has restored a once nerv-
ous body to a strong, healthy man.
Besides, there is true indepentl-
enee. Living out in pure air and
being one's own boss is an inde-
pendence worth ,considering.
To sum up: Poultry raising is an
occupation 'that will prove profit-
able to those who can adapt them-
selves to it. It is a, business that
calls for good judgment. It is a
"business that requires close study
and attention.
It is hard work only to those who
tire quickly, who lack sticking
qualities, who grow weary of the
constant sameness. But to those
who take a pleasure in the work it
is a pleasant occupation.
The beginning should be made in
a. small way. There should be suf-
ficient canital to "pay as you go."
There must be working capital.
Poultry keeping an be made pro-
fitable from both a financial and a
health standpoint. The extent of
that, profit, or the amount of in-
come, can be gauged only by the
man's adaptability for the work end
the manner in which he performs
his duties. The beginner should be
a constant student. He should
read books and papers on the sub-
ject, for therein he will find the
rudiments.
•
Who Can Do It?
A Boston school teacher tells this
story: 'Children," said a second-
grade teacher, "you should be able
to do everything. equellY, well with
your left and right hands. With a
little practice you will find it so
easy to use .one hand as the other."
From the rear of the room came
the piping inquiry :
"How about 'putting .. your left
hand in the right-hand pocket of
your trousers'?"
"Nature," observed the ,philoso-
iyher, "always tries lo'makecom-
pensation. For instance, if one's
eyesight is lost the sense of hearing
growsmore acute," "Faith," re-
plied Pat, "I believe you're right,
or I've noticed that when a man
has one leg shorter, the other is al-
ways longer."
"Oh, yes, my husband is an en-
• thusiastic archaeologist 1" said
Mrs. Moles "And 1 never knew
ib until yesterday I 1 found in his
desk some queer -looking tickets
with the inscription, 'Flyaway, 8 to
1.' And when I asked • him what
they were he said they were relies
of, a kat race. Isn't that interests

BUT G. Jt. MA.CDONALD FOUND
RELIEF IN DODD'S KID.
NET PILLS.
Nova Scotia Man After Fifteen
Yeats' Suffering Found a Cure
Through Reading an A.dvertise-
inent.
Harrigan 'Cove, Halifax Co., N.
S., April 19th (Special).—After suf-
fering for fifteen years from Janie
back and kidney trouble Mr.
George K. MacDonald, a well-
known resident of this place, is
telling his neighbors of the .great
benefit he has received from using
Dodd's Kidney Pills.
"My • trouble started from a
strain and a cold," Mr. MacDonald
states. "I was troubled with stiff-
ness of the joints and cramps in
the muscles. My sleep was broken
and unrefreshing, my limbs were
heavy and I had a dragging :sense, -
tion ,across the loins.
"My back ached and ,I suffered
from rheumatism, when reading an
advertisement led me to try Dodd's
Kidney Pills.
"I am only too pleased to say
that the treatment was successful.
Dodd's Kidney Pills have done me
a great deal of good."
Mr. MacDom:ald's :symptoms show
that he was troubled with Kidney
disease. That's why Dodd's Kid-
ney Pills cured him.
Rough on Tommy.
The mails from home had just
been received by a :certain regi-
ment, Not only were there letters,
but many parcels from relatives
and friends at home for, lucky sol-
diers. One of the Tommies receiv-
ed a large box addressed tohim-
self, and with a triumphant yell
he rushed off to his company's lines
and gathered them around him to
share in the eagerly anticipated
contents of his box.
"Smokes, lads!" he cried as he
undid the wrapping. "From the
old man; I knows it. An' there's
sure to be e bottle or two of
Scotch,"
He opened the box, gave one look
at the contents and collapsed in a
heap.
"What is WI" cried his comrades
pressing round.
"It's from ,ofe Auntie Mary,"
groaned the disappointed warrior.

A. FOOD DRINK
Which Brings Daily Enjoyment.
A lady doctor writes:
"Though busy hourly with nty
own affairs, I will not deny myself
the pleasure of taking a few min-
utes to tell of the enjoyment ob-
tained daily from my morning cup
of Poctum. It is a food beverage,
not a, stimulant like coffee.
"I began to use Postum 8 years
ago; not because 1 wanted to, but
because iloffee, whielh I dearly
loved, made my nights long, weary
periods to be dreaded and unfitting
me for business during the day."
(Tea is just as injurious as coffee,
because it, too, contains the health.
destroying drug, caffeine.)
"On advice of a. friend, 1 first
tried Posture, making it carefully
as istiggested on the package, As I
had :always used 'eream arid no
sugar,' I mixed my Postum so. It
looked good, was clear and frag-
rant, and it was a pleasure to see
the cream color it a light golden -
brown.
"Then I' tasted it 'critically and
was pleased, yes, satisfied with my
Postum in taste and effect, and am
yet, being a eonstant user of it an
these years.
"I continually a,ssere my friends
and acquaintances that they will
like Postum end receive benefit
from its use. I have gained weight,
can sleep .and a.m not nervous.

1310 AID TO BRITAIN.
The 'British Navy and Canadian
Railway Expansion.
The present conflict in EureP.0,
has demonstrated beyond the PoBsi-
bility of doubt -that the mainten-
ance of Britain's superiority at sea,
and the expansion af the wheat
areas in British Dominions, have
been linked together as basic fac-
tors in the consideration of Plans
for Imperial offense and 'defence.
The lawmakers in London, as lb
matter of policy„ have allowed no-
thing to interfere with the building
up of an all-powerful navy, and
they have steadfastly ignored the
protests of Englishmen who have
contended that Great Britain would
be. in .azi impossible position if a
war should develop with a power-
ful maritime power. There were
numerous men in England who be-
lieved that in the event of an im-
portant European struggle involv-
ing Great Britain, 'the hunger of
London would dictate. terms of
peace." But the Admiralty- were
convinced that the sea power of
Britain would keep all the routes
open for foodstuffs. • The lands in
the British Isles which might have
• been devoted to the growth of more
wheat were left as before, and the
investors of Britain by placing
their funds in the bonds of railways
in Canada, in South Africa„ in Aus-
tralia, and in New Zealand, -where
vast stretches of fertile country re-
mained to be opened up encourag-
ed the production of a steady sup-
ply of foodstuffs which might . be
called upon. in case of emergency.
The under -water craft of Germanse
have failed to throttle the .shipping',
of Great Britain. lief ships eome
and go almost as they please. And
the resources of wheat lands, in
themselves many times the area
of the British Isles are available for
the need of the people of Britain.
Infacilitating the expansion of
the various companies in the Do-
minion during the last :thirty years,
the successive governments federal
and provincial, have enabled Can-
ada to take lip the burden of a
greater production in this year of
the Empire's peril. Canada is meas-
uring up to herasclvertised destiny
as the "Granary of ,the Empire,"
or, more emphatic still, "Bread
Basket of the World." The prophe-
cies of leaders of thought for three
decades are on the verge of fulfill-
ment. The large exportable sur-
plus of the wheat fields in Canada
will go to feed a fair proportion of
the .dependent millions of England,
and probably the war -harassed Bel-
gians as well. The railway lines
which have been constructed east
and west and north and south
throughout the country have made
her present position possible. With-
out these essential traffic, arteries
the Dominion would have been
merely a helpless spectator while
the greatest war in history rumb-
led through to a eonclusion. Can-
ada's most important contribution
to the cause of Empire is in wheat
and flour and bread.
The bulk of supplies of Canadian
wheat for export are drawn each
year from the wheat fields of the
prairie provinces. The total sup-
ply may be computed by a study of
the carryings of the railways. Dur-
ing the crop year 1913-4, the Can-
adian Northern alone handled from
the territory served by its western
lines, 47,295,000 bushels. Estimat-
ing the increase this year at 20 per
cent., this road should haul out
approximately 56,750,000 bushels of
wheat from the provinces lying be-
tween the Great Lakes and the
Rocky Mountains. That quantity of
wheat, converted successively into
flour, and into standard loaves of
bread, would feed Greater London,
with its .estimated population of 7,-
2.82,963, for more than four and a
half years. •
So long as Britain holds command
of the seas, the available supply of
foodstuffs from • Canada alone
should suffice to overcome the
handicap her critics maintain she
imposed upon herself by producing
but a quarter of the wheat -she an-
nually consumes.
Farming With Powder.
Blast powders and dynamites of
one kind and another are coming
into mare general use every day,
not only in the war zones but in de-
velopment work on the farm.
Stumps, rock and hard pan clay are
cleared or •broken 'by means of pow-
der. In pioneer days, our fathers
and grandfathers cleared their
farces of woods and brush by means
of the ax and fire, but now there
are many small patches of s bumps
or stone that are lying practically
idle because it costs too much to
clear them. AVith the war calling
for every acre into use this year
that can be cleared, there is a more
general use di blasting powder in
clearing up these odd acres,
Best Liniment of All
• Destroys Every Pain
But Never Burns
"How thankful we are to get hold
of such a wonderful household remedy
as Nerviline," writes Mrs. E. P. La-
montagne from her home near We.
taskawin, Alberta, "In this far -away
section, far away from a doctor or
druggist, every family needs a good
supply of liniment. Nerviline is the
best of all. It destroys every pain,
but never burns. We use Nerviline
In a score of ways. If it's rheuma-
tism, aching back, pain in the side,
sciatica or stiff nock,—you can laugh
at them if you have lots of Nerviline
handy. For earache, toothache or
cramps I don't think anything could
act more quickly. For a general all-
round pain remedy I can think of no-
tlaing more valuable and speedy to
euro than Nerviline,"
The above letter is convincing—it
tells how reliable and trusty this old-
time remedy is. Nerviline for forty
years has been a household word in
Canada. Scarcely a home in Canada
you can find without Nerviline. Every
community has it living examples of.
the wonderful curative properties of
Nerviline which will cure pains and.
aches anywhere in the joirits or mus-
cles. It's penetrating, soothing,
warming and safe for young and old
to use. Get the large 50c. family size

I Nova Scotia Case Of
Interest to All Wolin
Halifax Sends Out a Message
to Many People.
of Help
Halifax, N.S., Dec. 15.—When inter-
viewed at her home at 194 Argy13 St.,
Mrs. Haverstock was quite willing to
talk of her peculiarly unfortunate case.
"I was always 'blue' and depressed,
felt weak, languid and. utterly unfit
for any work. My stomach was so
disordered that I bad no appetite,
What I did eat disagreed. I suffered I
greatly from dizziness and sick head-
ache and feared a nervous breakdown.
Upon my druggists recommendation
I used Dr. Hamilton's Pills.
"I felt better at once. Every day I
improved. In six weeks I was a well
woman, cured completely after differ-
ent physicians had failed to help me.
It is for this reason that I strongly
urge sufferers with stomach cr diges-
tive troubles to use Dr. Hamilton's
Pills."
Dr. Hamilton's Pills strengthen the
stomach, improve digestion, strength-
en the nerves and restore debilitated
systems to health. By cleansing the
blood of long-standing ixnpurities, by
bringing the system to a high point
of vigor, they effectually chase away
weariness, depression and disease.
Good for young or old, for men, for
women, for children. All dealers sell

Butternut.

be impossible to please some peo-
