Farming pays from every point
of view. The idea that a farmer
can make an independent living by
hard work, but cannot get rich, is
full of error. Farming cannot be
compared with banking, because a
man has got rich at something else
before he can be a banker. But
when due allowance is made for
the difference of capital invested,
We venture to assert that the av-
erage farmer makes more money,
works less, has better health and
lives longer that the average bank
er.

of Market Rasen, called the Thur

German origin, but. confined prin-
cipally to the small district of
Thuringia, where it is bred very
carefully. In size it resembles the
Black Hamburg short and COM
pact in body, good in carriage and
lively in movements. The princi-
pal characteristic is the strong
beard on cheeks and throat, by
which the small round head is al
most covered, as well as the pink
ish-white earlobes. The comb is
small, single, evenly serrated, and
upright. Wattles are dislodged by
beard. Beak ordinary size and
black; neck short and stout; breast
well rounded and full; shoulders
broad: back short, growing wider
on saddle; out of the light cushion
rises an abundantly furnished tail,
which is adorned (cock's) with
immense sickles and CARRIED well
over the back. Legs short, strong
clean and dark slate color. The
plumage is of a brilliant black,

Natives Destroying and Carrying on His.
torical Monuments.
Egypt is not at Standstill at present,
it is moving faster. for better or for
worse, than it ever moved before. And
this is true of its antiquities rs well as
of other things; the ancient cities are
being in the present day dug away and
their earth spread on the ground as q
fertilizer; and this is going on at such
a rate that some have almost entirely
disappeared already and fields of corn
have taken their place, others are di-
minished to half the size they were a
generation or two back and are still
diminishing every day. And the time
does not seem very far distant when
scarcely site of a city will be
able to be identified. Certainly
Egypt will have exhausted its an
tifuity fields before England ex-
hausis its coal fields. And up the Nile
tomhs are opened every year. and
fewer left to be discovered In one
sense we are only just beginning to ex-
plore Egypt. and the treasure seems to
us ineNhausuble, but that is only be-
cause of the puny scale of our attack
from the scientific side: in another and
terrible true sense Egypt is eNhaustins
itself, the natives are ceasclessly Dig
ging. and unless we look t. it pretty
quickly the history of the country will
have persisted before our eyes, by the
destructive activity of its inhabitants.
Never before has that land of monu-
ments been so fiercely worked on, daily
and hourly the spoils of ages past are
ransaeked. and if of marketable value
are carried off; but whether preserved
or not is of small matter compared
with the entire loss of their connection
and history which always results in this
way. II we are not to incur the curse
of posterity for our vandalism and in
ertness. we must be up and doing in
the right way.-Nlastrased 4ogosne,

quantities of flour, warm water and

mixed into dough and then kneaded
according to certain process, so

Ten minutes later 1 was busy COM

be at all palatable, had even apologized

made no impression upon it either.
Just as discovered this l heard my
husbands footsteps, SO hastily raising

But three months later, Uriah and I
