CANADA'S DRINK BILL.

A correspondent of Truth (Toron-
to) complies official statistics show
ing that in the fiscal year 1885, a
time Of serious business depression,
Canada imported for home consump-
ton alcoholic, vinous and malt
liquors and grain for the manufac-
ture Of such liquors, to the value of
81, 19S,476, including duty. During
the same period Canada exported
2,34O,956 bushels Of wheat, valued at
S1,966,297. In other words, Canada's
exports of wheat paid less than half
the wholesale first cost of liquors
imported, saying nothing Of the
far greater amount of such liquors
manufactured within her bounda-
ries. Canada is noted for her horses
and sheep, yet the total value of
these exported during the year was
but $2,8l5, 700. Is it any wonder
that they have very hard times"
in Canada?

EGGS.

At recent prize test of presery I'd
eggs at Birmingham, England, re-
ported by w. B.. Tegetmeier in the
Scottish agricultural Gazette, eight
samples showed almost equal merit.
Of these, two had been preserved in
lime-water, or in lime-water and
salt, three had been packed in dry
salt, one had been coated with bees
wax and oil, one with melted suet,
and one with shellac dissolved in
methylated spirit. The first prize
was awarded to one of the samples
packed in dry salt, and the second
to one preserved in lime-water and
salt. To prepare this mixture, add
half a peck of newly-slacked lime to
four gallons ofboiling water, stirring
for some time. When cold, remove
any hard Jumps of lime by straining
through a sieve, add ten ounces of
salt, and let the mixture stand to
temper for a fortnight. The eggs
should be packed as closely as pos
sible and kept covered with the
pickle in a covered vessel. They
should be packed on the day they
are laid, to secure the best results.

CHOLERA.

Why does the cholera break out
in those yards where the birds seem
apparently we'll when the disease is
least expected The question may
be answered in one wOrd-flth.
Suppose a dairyman should keep his
herd of COWS in a dirty stable, with
foul odors ever present, damp floors
and the manur removed from the
stalls only occasionally, with water
to drink from mud puddles, into
which the soluble substances of the
had been washed, would
such COWS exist long? We think
not. And we may also ask if it
would not even be worse for them
should the food of the cowsbe thrown
on the droppings of the yard, to be
mixed with the filth and manure, if
the consequences would not be fatal.
Yet such is the way the hens are
sometimes treated. The droppings
remain in the poultry house for in
definite periods, they have but little
fresh water and often none at all,
and the yards in which they run
contain the accumulation of years.
The cholera cannot be avoided un-
der such conditions. 1t attacks
every bird in the flock, and holds
high carnival over the bodies of its
victims. What is the remedy? Not
doctoring the birds, for that is use
less under the circumstances, but
remove the cause. Thoroughly clean
out the poultry house and disintect
the roosts,. nests and walls by the
free use of carbolic acid and white
wash, and spade up the yards, then
sprinkling them with Douglas mix
ture, which is composed of a pound
of copperas, a gill of sulphuric acid,
and two gallons of water. If the
premises are kept clean there is but
little danger Of cholera, but care
must be taken that no portion of the
premises be overlooked upon which
any of the germs may remain. The
cholera may be known by the sick
birds being very thirsty, and having
an anxious, appearance, the
drorpings being green and watery.
The remedy most available is to give
a spoonful of a solution of boracic
acid to each fowl.-Fdrm, Field and
StOckmdn.

THE GEORGIA BLOODHOUND.

Let me tell you what the Georgia
bloodhound can do, and he can be
made to do this any fair day at Old
town camp. A convict sleeping in
one bunk of a hundred, shod and
clad precisely as the hundred con-
victs about him, may slip his chain
and flee. Ten miles away he may
meet his fellow prisoners again, may
I'll to and fro among them, may
walk with them a mile and leave
them. Six hours after these hounds,
put on his track where he slipped
the camp, will follow him to where
he met his gang, will tread his track
in and about with their hundreds Of
tracks, take it up where he leaves
them, and u him down, though he
ross convict gangs every mile he
runs. This escaping convict, clad
in stripes cut from the same bolt
with a hundred others, may run
through the woods, touching weeds
and bushes as he runs. Fifty con-
victs, clad as he was clad, may run
through the same woods in every
direction. The dogs will hold his
scent, running full tilt, breast high.
If he makes a Of As degrees
the dogs will not run the line, but
will catch his scent thirty yards
away and cross the angle, though it
were filled with the convicts who
had eaten and slept with the fugi-
tive. Often a dog will carry a scent
in a gallop, running parallel thirty
yards to the windward. An uncanny
and terrible little beast is the red
| bone hound, trained for the hunting
of man.-AH0nt0 Constitution.

PARTNERSHIP IN POULTRY.

If you keep poultry, and what
farmer does not, give the charge OF
them to the children under instruc-
ton. To make the labor interesting
give the children a certain per cent
age of the revenue, and let this be
definite. 1t will learn them to act
for themselves, to study how best
their charge may become profitable.
Hens cannot well steal their nests
from sharp-eyed boys and girls, the
sitting hens will be watched, that
they be supplied with proper food
and water, and the young chicks be
as carefully cared for as though the
young partners actually owned the
whole flock. The lessons learned
will also be useful in after life

THINGS WORTH KNOWING.

THINGS WORTH KNOWING.

half cup of water, will relieve sick
headache caused by indigestion.
-Teething children may be re-
lieved of commissions by bel 8 i'm
mersed in a warm bath, and cold

for obstinate coughs.
For Group or pneumonia bruise
raw onions, lay on a cloth with pow
dered gum camphor sprinkled over
it, and apply to chest and lungs, and
cover with hot flannel. This is a
sure cure if taken in time.
A Western man says he keeps
swine plague from attacking his
hogs by the free use of copperas
scattered all about the feeding
places, and allowing them to eat all
they want.
The Australian wheat crop this
year will be a failure. After deduct
ing the amount required for home
consumption it is estimated that
there will be but 10000 tons for ex-
pOrtatiOn, against 329, 900 tons ex-
ported last year.
Chicago handled 10000 900 hogs.
more than 100000 cattle and 1872
0OO,0 600 bushels of grain last year.
The Inter- Ocean claims that the city
will not fall off in the figures this
year and will handle 10000 Anarch-
lists besides.
The weeping willow, says the
Garden, seems to have had a roman
tic history. The first scion was sent
from Smyrna in a box Of flag to
Alexander Pope. Gen. Clinton
brought a shoot from Pope's tree to
America in the time of the Retolu-
ton, which, passing into the handSof
John Parke Custis, was planted 0p
his estate in Virginia, thus beconl
ing the ~progenitor of the weeping
willow in America.
For the nine months ending
March 81, we exported cotton to1the
amount of $164, 973,473. Great Brit
ain and Ireland took S91,994,986
worth Of it. We exported in the
same time $31,O46,585 worth Of
wheat, of which Great Britain took
2 3,O46,5 85 worth offour, $27,371,-
$50 of which Great Britain took
$16,O35,OO0 Of corn $22, 943, 603, Of
which Great Britain took $13,9T~
OBJ worth. Thus of our agricultural
exports it will be seen that Great
Britain takes considerably more than
all other nations combined.
1t is we'll known that France,
like some other European nations,
monopolizes to itself the trade in
tobacco. The following latest official
returns concerning this trade in
France Ire interesting, as showing
the extent of the business and the
profit under all the monopoly Of the
French Government. The total of
the leaf tobacco delivered by plant
ers to the Government for the year
was 4O,786,OOO pounds, valued at
s2,998 900. The aggregate leaf to-
bacco and cigars imported reached
1896, 900 pounds, valued at $9,748,-
900. The total of manufactured to-
bacco sold, reached al aggregate of
79,S5O,O0O pounds, selling at ST.
892, 500. Deducting the cost OF the
same to the Government, $12,3O7,-
