The operators decided al he meeting
that if the men would sign contracts

Tho Parties to Fight on the Important
Question.
LONDON, May 1.-The leading propo
sails Of the governments education measure
leaked out and confirms the liberal idea
that that it will be tory clerical measure
against which the liberals fight
the ministers assure that their
supporters bill will tend to
strengthen the position Of tie denomina
tional schools. Assurances have been
given the Clericals and Catholics
that the vestal interests of
the churches will be preserved intact
This is producing a strong combination
against which the liberals will find it hard
to contend. The ministers profess to be-
lieve that they can carry
it through the house in a
fortnight but it is probable that they do
not expect to carry the education bill but
desire rather to dissolve on some leading
proposal which will strengthen them in
appealing to the Country.

little extra care.
NEVER fail to have good supply Of
gravel where it is available for use when
the snow is ON the ground.
NEVER begrudge few dollars for some
fresh blood each year, for it will always
be worth more than it cost you if you get
the right stuff.
NEVER cheat yourself with the idea
that there is as much profit in an old hen
as there is in a young one. An old hen
will lay quite likely, but not so many
eggs as will young one.
never feed your chickens three times

in cold stormy weather, when it is a good
plan to throw handful of fine grain in
the straw and litter at odd times to keep

THE DAIRY.
Aerating Milk.

The system of aeration, of cooling
milk by air, as it passes through the
milk, cools every drop and removes all
the odors and gases. When we sur
round milk with ice and cold water, we
reduce the temperature before the ami
NAL heat and gas has been displaced
from the milk. So soon as the milk
gets back to the temperature of the out.
side air. the gases react and rapid fer
mentation soon spoils the milk.
Never apply cold water or ice to milk
until it has first been aerated.
This great invention of aerating milk
not only removes the heat, odors and
gases, but will largely neutralize the
bad effects of impure water or impure
food.
II milk were properly aerated before
being taken into the system, the liabil-
itY Of sickness from that cause would be
removed. Orange Hom,s.
