regard to the interchange of seooad class

service done for Oanadian petiodioals

cent date that the advantages it gives.
especially in the spraying of apple or-
chards, is not yet appreciated.
For many years the Department of
Agriculture has been advocating more
and better spraying. Demonstrations
in the ase of hand and power outfits,
and the preparation and application of
the most • effective mixtures, haus been
given throughout the Provine3 with sat-
isfactory results. It ie now felt that
such information has been sufficiently
diffused and another step forward is
proposed.
The Provincial Fruit Growers' Associ-
ation has within the past three years as-
sisted in organizing a large number of
fruit growing aseooiations. One of the
aims of these associations has been the
cooperative spraying of orchards of
their members, and it is now proposed
to assist these and kindred organizations
in such spraying work. With this aim
in view, the Minister of Agriculture has
asked the Legislature for a grant of
$0000 to be devoted to the assistance of
fruit growers in the, purchase and opera-
tion of power spraying outfits. Many
associations already own and are operat-
ing enuh machines and these will receive
the same aid as those organizing during
1907. The conditions under which the
grants are available have been made as
simple as possible with the hope that a
decided stimulaa will be given to the
proper spraying of orchards during Ghia
and coming seasons. Following are the
regulations covering the payment of the
grauts:
A grant of $50 will be made to any
five or more farmers who unite to form
a fruit growers' association for the pur-
chase and operation of a power spraying
outfit daring the season of 1907- These
associations need not be incorporated Go
qualify for this grant, though incorpora-
tion of oo-operative associations should
be obtained if the full benefits of co-op-
erative associations desired.
Cooperative fruit growing associa•
tions owning and operating two or mare
power sprayers will be eligible to draw
a grant for each machine operated.
The number of each association re-
ceiving assistance daring the prospeot
year shall not exceed 100.
At least 25 acres of fruit trees must be
thoroughly sprayed during the proper
season with each outfit.
A reasonable portion of such spraying
must be done on the farms or orchards
of each of the parties forming the as-
sooiation.
Saoh associations before receiving any
portion of the grant shall satisfy an in-
spector of the Department of Agricul-
ture that the above conditions have been
complied with, and shall make each re-
ports as shall satisfy the Minister of
Agriculture.
Associations desirous of
in this grant must apply to
meat not later than the
May.
ly The fact is, Sir Wilfrid Laurier's per -
equal prestige has been so much augn-
mentad by his method of dealing with
colleagues whose reputations were at-
tacked outside their qaality as adminis-
trators, that there is just a tendency to
lose sight of the oircamatanoe, import.
ant enough, none the less, that when
Sir Wilfrid Laurier sees fit to cross the
ocean and withdraw himself for the
time from home controversies, he is able
to leave behind him at Ottawa a Cabinet
strong enough, and many tithes over
strong enough, to meet any force the
Opposition can put into the field against
it. He leaves Sir Richard Cartwright,
Mr, Fielding, Mr Fisher, Mr. Scott and
Mr. l'.itersoa, five members of his Oabi-
net who have been members of it for
better than ten years now, against not
one of whom there has been a whisper
of scandal, pablio or private, in that
time. --Montreal Harald.
Hon J. 0. Reaume is after Michigan
sportsmen who have been in the habit
of going to the wilds of Northern Ontar-
io every fall to hunt deer and other
game. Heretofore the license fee charg-
ed aliens has been placed at $25, and the
sports from Ontario were assessed $2 for
a deer license which entitled them to
shoot two deer or get the deer by any
other means, so long as the game ward-
en did not get wise. Now Detroit sports-
men will have to pay 850 for the plea -
are of bagging two deer in the northern
'wilds, and their expenses for the trip
and paying express charges on the deer
will make the venison very costly. Ia
the Legislature it was shown that other
provinces charged a higher fee than 825,
Manitoba charging $100. It was sug-
gested that Ontario charge 8100 for a
license, but Dr Resume said the jump
would give outside sportsmen nervous
prostration and the bill was reported
fixing the fee at $50. It was iutimated
that another increase may be made next
year

Readily Yield to Soothing, Healing
Treatment of Hyoniei.
Bronchial troubles are purely local.
They cannot be helped by stomach dos-
ing. They are caused by irritation in
the air passages and can be relieved and
cured by medicated air alone. In this
lies the secret of the great success of
Hy-o•mei in the treatment of bronchial
troubles.
Tho first breath of Hy -camel's medi-
cated air soothes the inflammation, stops
the cough, and relief soon becomes per-
manent and a care results.
Hy -to -mei has made many remarkable
cures in the worst and most chronic
forma of bronchial troubles and is sold
by Walton McKibben with the same
guarantee as he gives when Hyomei is
purchased for catarrh, that is, to refund
the money in case the remedy does not
give satisfaction. The complete outfit
costs but $1.00.
The Ontario Legislature bas agreed to

of stone in the bladder, or gravel, and
the pain which I endured can scarcely
be described. I was unable to do any
work, and frequently diseharged blood.
Though I spent hundreds of dollars in
tlostors' bills I received no relief, and at
1a,st decided that I would never be able
to work again.
"While in this condition lams advised
to try Dr. Chase's Ifidney-Liver Pills,
and, though I had no faith in them I de-
cided to give theta a fair trial. After using
one box I felt a decided change for the
better, and after taking five boxes I feel
like a new man. I um entirely out of
pein,aud have no more discharge of blood.

Useful Old Men.
[Review ce Reviews.]
Mr. Carnegie will be 70 years old next
November, and he was never at any time
more vigorous of mind or more actively
and iutlaentially concerned with affairs
of large significance Ex President
Oioveland was 70 years old on Marsh 18.
He is n great favorite itt the university
town of Princeton. As oar only living
ex, President, he maintains in the coun-
try's regard and respect a very lofty pos-
ition. President Eliot, of Harvard, was
73 last month; Mara Twain is in his 72nd
year, and Mr. Bryoe, the new British
ambassador, will be 70 next year. These
and many other men of great intellect -
nal activity and pubic usefulness are
showing that old age need not arrive un-
til long after the period of threescore
and ten. There has been mull comment
of late upon the continued strength and
brilliancy of the writings of Profeasor
Goldwin Smith, who is in his 84th year.
Dr. Edward Everett Hale is a little older.
Senator Allison is 77; President Diaz
and the Emperor Francis Joseph are 76,
and, in short, the list of active and pro-
minent personages between the ages of
70 and 80 is a long one,
That high collate tend to produce net -
Irons headache among both men and wo-
men is the most recent disoovery of a
well-known Viennese physician. Quite
aocidentally the doctor's attention was
directed to the very high and very tight
style of collar worn by a patient who
was siways oomplainiag of headaohes
and giddiness. The collet was laid aside,
thus removing the compression of the
nook, and the patient's headaches and
giddiness disappeared. Strunk by this
result, the doctor paid particular atten-
tion to the kind of collars worn by his
'beadaohe patients' acid in very many in-
stanoes the change to lower and tatter
fitting collars brought immediate relief.
In the ease of women Wearing high s tiff
neckbands it was found that doing away
with these had Similarly beneficial res
suit, The doctor declares that nobody
with any tendency to headache timid
wear high collars,
Pyramids Built by Machinery.
Hoisting machines were used in both
Assyria and Egypt 6,000 or more yearn
ago. In order to hoist the great stones of
the pyramids some form of derrick was
employed. Probably the first construot-
ion was that which is now known to
mechanics as the shear -lags. This is
made of two great timbers, tied together
in the form of a capital A, the two ends
resting ou the ground and a rope being
run over and attached at the top. With
one of these the pyramid•builders could
have raised large stones step by step,
whioh was doubtless their method. We
can imagine we see the great A. -frame
leaning over an incline of perhaps 50 de-
grees, with a block of stone tied on.
Then a great crowd of men got hold of
the rope on the opposite side, perhaps
assisted by some draft oxen, and all
strain and pull until the A -frame stands
erect and the stone is swung into tho air,
where it can be pushed into the desired
place. Snob a contrivance could be used
to lift stones six or eight feet, which was
suflioient for the construction of the
pyramid. Doubtless, batter hoisting de-
vises ware construoted as mere pyramids
were built. -Tho Circle.
Ill Temper from a Eat utter
Carlyle justly attributes the ill -temp-
er, which made him a monster in the
eyes of the world, to a bad liver. Noth-
ing makes one feel more miserable or
more Medley and discouraged than liver
complaint and consequent bilionsnees
and dyspepsia and nothing so promptly
and thoroughly seta the liver right and
overcomes these ailments as Dr. Chase's
Kidney -Liver Pills, the great family
medicine.
The Sex of an Automobile,
What sett is a motOr car? Should it
be spoken of as he, she or it? For in-
Stance, ft man was overheard in the
hotel dining -room, Raying to his odor•

horsepower car.' The woman at onto
protested against his speaking of the
Mite as 'She.' Then he told her it had a
bonnet worth fifty dollars, and she quit

HOPPER FEEDING,
An E perintest W ch Seeress tie
Dlentolistrate Its Superiority.
An experiment station worker send
some Interesting hhformatlau about ?t
lot of chickens, He Says:
"Early in July we had an incubator
hatch come off, and the chicks, forty-
seven lu number, were given to three'
hens. One, a )3rabma, was given twen-
ty, one Orpington lien fifteen and a
Marred Bock ben twelve.. All were
placed on free range, The Brahma
was placed on grads and fee nothing~
but soft. food for the first two weeks,
the food being equal parts oatnieaI,
cornmeal and brae, with 25 per cent
meat meal. This was fed twice a day '
and the other two feeds bread and
milk. At the end of two weeks we
fed two mashes daily, hard• grain hi
morning and sprouted wheat at night.
"The other two hens were put in My
Middle of a twenty acre field, and a
hopper filled with cracked wheat and
(Tacked corn and coarse beef scrape-
mixed
crapsmixed with the grain was put In each
i•ncp. They were only visited twice
ht weak. All the hens were given full
liberty after five days, and one result
is the cornfield chicks are as wild as
partridges; have to crawl up ou (hands
and knees to get even a glimpse of
them. Noting that they were growing
right away from the others that were
liancl fed, I went out one evening with
a set of small scales and a box to
weigh them. The chicks were not se-
lected at all; were just taken from
under the lien as I could reach them.
Four were weighed from each coop.
Pounds. Ounces.
4 hand fed chicks weigh 0 13
4 hopper fed (with black hen),-, 1 13
•i hopper fed (with B. Rock) 2 6
"What of that as a showing in favor
of hopper feeding? The chicks are:
twenty-six days old. Hopper feeding
makes the work twice as easy for
poultrymen. We have hoppers here
now and have over 1,000 growing
youngsters, Since this style of feeding
was established here 1 get up three-
quarters of an hour later of a morning
and do not have to break my back
carrying three or four bushels of wheat
at a time to feed in the mornings."
Some Poultry Evils.
George A. Palmer, n prominent Eng-
lish breeder, very truly says:
"The most serious evils of present
farm mismanagement are crowding the
birds on an acre or two of poultry
tailitecl land just around the homestead
that has probably been overstocked
with fowl for ]hundreds of years; in-
breeding, whic•Ih, however useful oc-.
caslonally in show stock, can only re-
sult with utility stock in decreased
productiveness. attended by liver dis-
ease and tuberculosis; the neglect of
pure bred sires, which, are just as hn-
pressive in the poultry yard as iu lar-
ger stock; insanitary houses, improper
feeding, consisting too often of any odd
sack of grain that happens to be about
the place or, worse still, solely of pur-
chased corn; the greatest evil of a11,
setting eggs indiscriminately from the
whole flock without the slightest at-
. tempt at selection unless it Is for the
largest eggs, which result in the great-
est proportion of iufertiles and.usually
bring out the weakest chickens."

Feeding Por Size.
Some may be interested in knowing
bow we feed for size, says an old
breeder, We induce exercise, but feed
plentifully and make the diet as varied
as possible. Milk, meat, grain and
green food form the main basis of our
feeding, Skimmed milk at 0 cents per
gallon is a cheap food, and we also use
quantities of thick sour milk. Prac-
tically no corn is fed our young stock
until six months old. Bran and mid-
dlings area daily portion of the diet
and are kept before the chicks at all
times in a dry state, but sometimes we
moisten this mixture for a change.
IIave found whole oats soaked in skim
milk a great growth producer, but they
should not be fed until chicks reach
the age of six weeks. Charcoal, grit
and cool water are not forgotten.

dressing and packing, and If this Is not
skilled labor it is something Akin to it
and is not the kind of work a persou
could take to without some experience
and practice. There is a good oppor-
tunity for young men who are pre-
pared to undergo a thorough training
in the management of fancy stock.
This branch offers good reward for
workers, an& progress is made in it
entirely through merit. Wages run up
to $30 and board. per month.•
