(Written. for Tex Exroarrou.) The present time is most tavorable for the reduction, fattening and marneting of farm ehickens. There has been such a substantial inerease in the consumption of chickens and eggs within the past few years that it is not possible to rear a greater number of imitable market chickens than can be sold with profit. Last year there were not sufficient chickens sold in Canada to aupply the home markets. As a result of the shortage of ohickente the trade with Great Britain was lessened. This is unfortunate on account of the great de- _ nand for Canadian chickens in Great Britain mid the good prine that aret paid. The chief of the poultry division, at - Ottawa, Mr. F. C. Hare, states that numer- ous letters have been received from produce Meiehante, poulterers and commiseion mer- chants who desire to learn in what localities e.hiokeris Can be bought in great numbers and at reasonable prices. From several ,Canadian cities, and especially from Mon- treal, produce firms have asked to be in. formed where market chickens auitable for shipping to Great Britain could be obtained in the greatest numbers. British poulter- ers and commission merchants have repeat- edly asked for the same information. The letter of a well established produce house in London, England, was received last week. This firm wished to "start an undertak- ing for importing Canadian poultry to Cleat Britain." They desired information as to the probable succese of such a project, and the possibility of _obtaining poultry, especially fowls, in large quantities, and the beat distrieta for the collection etc., of them. Last fall a firm in Cape tolohy Wished a peuitry trade developed with that Colony. sOne shipmenb of Canadian chickene was made to Cape Colony, which arrived in a satisfactory conditionnind pleased the trade. A New York firm wrote that they desired to import Canadian chickens, and were recommended by the department to a firm in the Maritime Provinces, from whom they purchased chlokens, and were impressed favorably by them. The above and similar requeste are diffi- cult of solution, even by one in touch with the Canadian produce firms and packing houses that are buying and marketing chick- ens. The majority of our established firma are equipped with a complete plarib for marketing in Canada or Great Britain sev- eral times more chiekens than they can buy. Their profits are diminished through scarcity of ohickene. Nevertheless merchants in Great Britain, Cape Colonty, the United States and even in Australia are looking to a supply of Canadian chiskens to satisfy their growing trade. The problem of supplying this wonder- fully inereased demand for chickens can be solved by the farmers alone. Instead of the -farmers rearing fifty or a hundred chick- , -arts that receive little attention or feed, he would rear from 300 to 1,000 ohickene an. These should be of a utility type, such as can be found in the popular breeds, Plymouth Rooks and Wyandottes. The thickenasheuld be hatched and reared by incubators and brooders, and when --teady for market the cockerels should be placed in fattening orates and fatted. The equipment, required to do this work is not an expeneive one • $200 to $250 is the coat ot incubators, brooders, houses and fattening crates for finishing 1,000 (thickens. It is as necessary " for realizing the greateat profits from the poultry business as threshing and mowing machinery is for general farming. The work connected with finiehing 1,000 chickens with the proper appliances is no more than is necessary for rearing 200 chickens by the natural means. Poultry farming is a business that requires to be de- veloped in the same manner as the butter, eheeee and fruit branches. A substantial profit can be made from the poultry busi- ness, when it is carried on as an adjuncb to farming, and with the same careful attention and financing. The Dominion Department of Agriculture is endeavoring to inorease the poultry trade of Canada, to encourage the growing of the greatest number of high class chickens and to mishit in the marketing of them. A re- vised edition of the bulletin “ Profitable Poultry Farming" has ivat been issued and will be mailed, witheut cherge, on applica- tion to the Commissioner of Agriculture and Dairying, Ottawa. The information it con- tains is of great value to the poultry wo and it should be in the hands of every inte eated poultry man in Canada'. THE AGRICULTURE DEPARTMENT. Ottawa, July 1903.

Of the 1,400,000 heads colored fatniries, 261,000, or nearly one-fifth of there all, own the homes and farms on which they live, when 40 years ago they did not own even their own prisons. In Georgia alone they are assessed at $15,000,000. At the present rate of increase there will be 20,000,000 colored people in than, country. in 40 years.

In th,e course of his sermon at the First Presbyterian church, London, on a recent Sunday nighb, the pastor, Rev. W. J. Clark: referred, incidentally, to the haste to get rich, which was one of the evil tendencies of the age. In a former day and generation, the young were taught that industry and economy were the only doors to wealth ; bub he feared that in these days too mann grew up with the idea that fortune was to be aained by the exercise of wit by pitting one's eharp wits against the dull wits of hie fellow. As to -the methods of getting rich, It was rather difficult to lay down a general principle, applicable to all cane. Take the case ofeethean who had invested the funds of otheratip stocks. If the market turned againer him he was overtaken by shame and disgrahe. Another man who invested money similarly, might be favored by fortune, he would amass wealth and die honored by hia fellow -citizens. But Morally, Mr. Clark said the two men were in the same position. A minister recently wrote to the New York Outlook asking for some advice on this sub - int), stating that he had been sorely puzzled about the investment of money, and wanted to know wherein the investment of money in stooks differed from putting one's money in real estate, in the hope that it would ad- vance in value. The reply of the Outlook was quoted as follows The desire to get something for nothingz is always and inherently wrong, and any transaction, however veiled, which has for its object the gratification of this desire, is an immoral transaction, for- any bargain ought to be, in the thought of the parties in the bargain, intended for the benefit of both the bargainers. In other wordshall hie life is for service, and any transaction mete which is aiespIy aelf-zeeking.l' tennuesteal.31/otvee. 'An incident just reported from Siva, Turkey, seems to prove that the feel- ing which music awakens in wolves is fright Two musicians -a drummer and piper -returning to their village from a wedding partykyvere overtaken by a snowstorm and sought refuge in o deserted' mill. They; lit a 'fire Ilwith seine wood, they found in the place and were warmin,g therneelves when they saw a wolf emerge from a dark corner of the building. They jumped up on a shelf and, to their dismay, saw several more wolves join the first. The animals rushed in their direction, and the druneiner, at a loss for a mode of defense, set to beating his drum, whereupon his companion instinetively played his pipe. The effect was mar:. velotts. The music so terrified the wol4es that they attempted to run away, and as the door was closed, they began fighting, and several of them were-. torn to pieces, the survivors eventually escaping through a hole in the wall. This incident is vouched for by the Government Gazette_ of Sivas. A Pickled Traveler. A traveler in Tartary tells the follow- ing story of a corpulent Greek servant who accompanied him: "At the end of the third day the well seasoned kavass in attendance, whose whole life had been passed in the saddle, came, with a smile, to report that Gurgis was un- able to proceed from abrasion, as the doctors called it, of the epidermis. 'He can't be left behind, sir, in the desert,' added the cild beirakdar, 'so, with your leave, we will give him the Tartar bath.' Atub of the strongest brine was accordingly prepared, In which the un- fortunate Gurgis was forthwith im- mersed, uttering the most appalling howls at the first plunge, but subsiding shortly afterward and eventually after half an hour's tanning conaini out so effectively case hardened that he rode a farther thousand miles to the Black sea in the course of the next week without showing a symptom of dis- tress." The Latin Quarter of Today. The Latin quarter of today is as full of indivitheal character as the same ground in the middle ages. One writer says Paris only possesses two really marked individualities, the student and the grisette. Not but that student life is always changing its outward semblance, just as the university structures themselves are changing theirs. - Since the days of Abelard Paris has grown from a town of 40,000 inhab- itants clustering around a little island to one of 3,000,000, covering almost a whole province, but the students are still the soul of the city. When Paris makes merry or 111011111S, the students lead the way. It is the Latin quarter which sets the fashion in ideas, as the Champs. Elysees in dress. Political Burglaries. It was through a stolen document, openly seized by the British ambas- sador in Berlin, that the British gov- ernment first learned. of the, recogni- tion of the independence of America by France. The British minister was Hugh Elliot, and he had the desk of' the French minister forced open -to obtain the copy of the treaty he want- ed. In 1855 a sensation was created by the discoveryof a plan bywhich secret documents were systematically abstracted from the Russian embassy in Berlin, being copied at night in the interests of another nation and re- placed in the drawer at the embassy, in the morning. The burglaries had been taking place for two years before they were discovered. • Cooling a Hot Iron. r4mail girl had been told not to put her toy flatiron en the stove, RS it would become too hot She, insisted that she must have a hot iron, how-, ever; for how else could she make hell doll's clothes look nice? But when 14je Iron was given tO her she found its eearmth more than she bargained fore She said nothing to her mother, but quietly taking up the iron she toddled out to the refrigerator and deposited it there, and when. her mother asked for an explanation she said: "1 tought I'd cool it off." The Greenroom. The term greenroom, which is as old as the days of the Elizabethan drama, was derived originally from the green rushes strewed upon the floor of the retiring rooms of the actors and actresses In place of a car- pet in the early theaters. Afterward paper of a green color was used. on the walls and green baize took the place _ of the rushes, so that the name came to be retained to the present day. The Whole Thing.

An eccentric Irish gentleman, Lerd Taaffe, used to attend his guests to the door, and if they offered any money to the servants who were lined up with the guests' baggage, the host would say, "If you give, give it me, for it was I that did buy the dinner." A well known colonel while sitting at dinner inquired the names of the host's servants. "For," said he, "1 Can- not pay them for such a good dinner, but 1 should like to remember them in my _will." _ Another eccentric gentleman, after, patiently redeeming hie hat, sword,[ cane and cloak, to the very bottom of his purse, turned to the two remain-- ing servants who were waiting obse- quiously, each with a glove, and said affably: "Keep those.. I will not trou- ble to buy them back. They are old and not worth a shilling." Power of a Swan's Wing. - "Swans," said an official of the zeof "haye great strength of wing. It is said that with a blow of its wing a' swan. cal break a man's leg, and I haveeno doubt this is so. .A. doctor told me one day, as we stoed together bn the zoo lake, that one of his first cases had been that of a man whose arm, a swan had broken with its wing. "The accident occurred. in Arkansas, on Swan lake, a body of water where these birds abound. A huntsman was 'fire hunting,' when a swan, making for the light, flew straight at his head. He put up his arm to shield his facet and the powerful wing of the big white bird struck him like a club. Both bones in the forearm were broken; A was a compound fracture. "Pr a swan accidentally can break in' this way a man's arm, there is, in meg opinion, no room to doubt that it could, if it desired, break with a well direct- ed blow a man's leg."

Thus he will remain until you make some sudden movement :which startles him, or until he has had as much pet- ting as he wants, when, with a puff of regretful delight, he Will reduce him- self to his usual dimensions and hop away, bent once more on the pleasures of the chase. The Band Played. General Custer believed in having martial music on all possible occasions. -He would have the band out at 5 o'clock in the morning and the last thing in the evening. One day when a regiment had just CoMQ into camp Gen- eral Cuter ordered the band out. The men were tired and reported that they, had. lost the mouthpieces of their in- struments. "Very well," said the general, "you may take pickaxes and shovels and help repair the roads. You may find the missing mouthpieces while you are working." It is unnecessary to state that the band. played soon after. Through the Cracks. When the celebrated divine, Edward Irving, was en a preaching tour in.

Ever since the Indians in the section of Vermont. now 'known as Fletcher discovered "honey" in the maple trees that district has been known far and wide as the heart Of the Vermont sug- ar country. The way the red men ex- _ tracted the delicious compound was somewhat slow as compared with the prPsent process. He used to cut a slanting gash in the bark and insert in the lower end a gauge shaped piece of wood, from which the sap ran and dropped into a poplar or basswood. trough. At the end of the season these troughs would be set up against the trees and left until the following season, by which time the troughs would be thoroughly 'mildewed. This materially added to the flavor of the aboriginal sugar, but can hardly be said. to have improved it. The evaporator of those times consisted of an iron. kettle swung from a sapling bent over a stump. By a slow' and tedious process the sap was first heat- ed and then boiled in this kettle, often ta:king two or three days' boiling be- fore it could be sugared off. This was the way in which the redskins, and the early Vermonters eked out a "sweet- nin" of their tea and johnnycake. A Clever French Captive.„ A. person who was supposed to be the French General Mouton, count de Lo- bau, was once captured by an English vessel, but after a time the captain dis- covered that his prisoner was the Count de Montrond. "Why did.you de- ceive me?" he demanded angrily of the count. "I did not deceive you," replied Montrond; "not at all. You thought was General Mouton. You told me -So. You have a fifty gun frigate. Was it for me, who have only a pocket pistol, to contradict you?" The captain did not forgive Montrond and took every opportunity to treat him rudely. One evening at dinner some one proposed the health of the French. As Montrond rose to acknowl- edge it the captain cried; "They are all cowards! I make no exceptions!" When Montrond's turn came he gave this sentiment: "The English -they are all gentlemen, but I make exceptions." How Green Turtles Feed. The green turtles of southern Flor- ida live in deep water and feed on sea plants, mostly the kind called "turtle grass," which they cut off near the roots, eating the lower parts and leav- ing the tops floating so that it collects in great fields and marks the spots where the animals are to be hunted for by the fishermen. After browsing on such ocean pastures the green tur- tles go to the mouths of rivers for baths of fresh water, which they seem to need from time to time. The Flor- ida fishermen say the reptiles enter the ' creeks and roll together masses a grass, cementing them into balls with clay. When the turn of the tide takes the balls out to sea they follow them. The fishermen watch for such ball floating down the creeks, and when they see them they stretch nets across the mouths of the streams and always catch the turtles. How Pausanius Died. Pausanius, the Greek general, died by self administered poison. When hotly pursued. by those sent to appre- hend him on a charge of treason and sacrileg4 he took refuge in the sanc- tuary of a temple. Unable to remove him by -force and also unwilling te violate ,he sanctuary, the officers walled up the entrance and began to unroof the building.

The anger fish, half fish, half crab, Hz the terror of all vessels but iron- cladei that use the south seas.- This creature, which is not bigger than an almond, has a proboscis like an en- large gnat sting that can bore through even sheet iron. Anger -fish' frequent many of the lagoons of the coral islands and burrow holes for them- selves in the coral, but they have a perverse habit of doing the same thing to ships lying at anchor, and the dam- age generally shows itself when next the vessel is at sea in bad weather - with disastrous results. Molassiels and Salt Poultice. What is said to be an infallible remedy for sprains and bruises attend- ed with pa,inful inflammation is a poul- tice of hot molasses and salt. Stir the molasses so stiff with salt that the poultice can be held in place by a muslin bandage and wrap the affected parts well, so as to retain the heat as long as possible. This is good for beasts as well as human beings. Very Nice Indeed..

Ott ACC011ne of Headaoh.es and Pains in the Side. The Sad position of a Bright Little Girt Uatil Dr. Williams' Piuk Pills • Came to Her Rescae. Many younggirls, eeemingly in the best' of health, ancisterily grow listless and loge strength. The color leaves their cheeks; they become thin, have little or no appetite, and euffer from headaches and other bodily pain. Sueh was the came of Bessie, young- est daughter of Mr. Charles Cobleigh, _Eaton Corner, Que. Speaking of his daughter's illness and subsequent cure, Mr. Cobleigh says :-`4 Up to the age of eleven, Beside had always enjoyed the heab et health, and took great pleasure in out-of-door play. Suddenly, horever, the -seemed to lose her energy, her appetite failed her, she grew thin and pale, slept badly at night,and com- plained of distressing headathea in the morning. We thoughb that rest would be beneficial to her, and so kept her front eohoonbut instead of regaining her strength, she grew weaker and weaker. To make mattere worse she began to suffer from -.pains in the side, which were ahnest past endurance. At this stage we decided to try Dr. Witlianas' Pink Pills. After a couple of weeks the good effect of this medicine was decidedly apparent. Bessie became more cheerful, her step quicker, her eyes were brighter and she seemed more like her for- mer self. We continued giving her the pills for several weeks longer, until we felt that she had fully recovered her health an& strength. I honestly believe had -it nob been for Dr. Williams' Pink Pills our daughter wordd not have recovered her health and strength, and I shall alveart have a good word to say for this medicine.' Dr, Williams' Pink Pine cure alt troubles that arise from poverty a the blood or weak nerves. Among snob troubles may be classed anaemia, headache, neural- gia, erysipelas, rheumatism, heart aihnents* dyspepsia, partial paralysie, St. Vitus' dance, and the ailments that render miser- able the lives of so many women.
