CURIOUS FACTS ABOUT GREAT
BRITAIN.

Great Britain is probably at once the
richest and the poorest country on the
face of the earth, While possessed of
immense wealth in the aggregate, prop
erty 10 50 ~uneyenly distributed that
~ssyen-eighths of the population are
obliged to struggle for daily existence.
The Spectator, commenting on late Par
~liamentary returns, states that the pro-
portion of the population in what it calls
comfortable circumstances, occupying
houses of Q rental of more than 5000 a
year, is only n and q half in every hun
drsd. Al About 100, 600 families pay from
$3.50 10 $500 ; 200, 900 pay-from $3.50 to
$3.50; andsoo, 600 pay no more than sfOo.
rent. Allowing; five to leach family, it
follows that less than one-eighth Of the
of Great Britain is able to
pay a rental Of over 500 year. If,
these figures are correct-and there ap-
pears to be no reason to doubt them
the greater part Of the poorer classes
mustsbe in q deplorabls situation. One
is led to wonder, not that emigratisnI is
SO large, but that it does not assume
proportions.

The White w,now.

It is unfortunate that this tree lies
under the odium of having been the
means of perpetrating a huge swindle
on farmers. In the right place its merits
are manifold. For quite moist land, we
know Of no better plan for forming q
s~tock-proof, live fence. If managed
skillfully, the fence may be made both
speedily and cheaply. Along the Dor.
ders Of swamps and through marshy
lands the willow will thrive excellently.
The best way to make a fence is to use
cuttings at least six feet long, and large
enough to bear driving into the ground
to the depth of one and a half to two
feet. Place them nine inches apart,
and in three years they will make. a
strong, close, and durable fence. There
is also, probably, some profitable use for
the trimmings which should be taken
from the tops once in two or three years,
The common willow makes coops for
kegs and small packages which require
hopping. When the growth is vigorous
the white willow can be used for hoop
poles. It also makes excellent live
fence-posts, as it will bear clipping in to
save shading the ground too much.

GRICMTURA
Breedinr Gees

Breeding Geese.
When kept in good condition and fed
with somewhat stimulating food, such
as corn and oats, geese will commence
to lay very early, and can be set to the
work of Incubation by the end Of Jan
nary OF early in March. To secure the
eggs being fertile there must be one
gander to every five or six females. II
is always well to give them separate
apartments from those where fowls are
kept, and water should always be ac-
cessible. It is best not to disturb the
goose when sitting, as, although q steady
and constant sitter, she will leave her
eggs often enough to feed, and drink.
To save her from going away too far,
and SO running the risk of the eggs get
ting chilled, food and water should be
placed near enough to be readily Access
sible, and yet not attract her attention
