Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products TO
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant TO the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
alive; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.

WHERE GRAIN GROWS.

Manitoba's magnificent crop OF 1895
demonstrates the wonderful fertility
and productiveness of the soil of that
western Canadian province. The yield
of wheat on 1,145,276 acres was about
S5, 000, 900 bushels; of oats, nearly 3d.
100000 bushels on ASP ,57S acres; of bar
ley, 6,000,000 on 1913, 500 acres, and there
were besides 100000 bushels of fax,
Go, 900 bushels OF rye and 25, 900 bushels
of peas. This is an average OF over 80
bushels of wheat TO the acre, of 60 bush
els of oats, and of SO bushels of barley;
and this immense crop was safely har-
vested by %, 900 farmers, many of whom
settled in Manitoba within the past ten
years with very little capital except in
dustry and energy, and some with little
or no experience whatever in farming.
In the aggregate these 5000 farmers
have averaged 1850 bushels of grain or
all kinds; and besides this have pro-
duced magnificent crops of roots, pota-
toes, cabbages, onions ana garden vege-
tables Of all kinds. They have shipped
TO eastern markets, in addition, thou
sands of head of sleek cattle and large
numbers of sheep. And all this has
been accomplished without the eXpen-
diture of one dollar for artificial fey
tilizers and with very small outlay for
wages.
Beyond this province are fertile lands
and ranching country stretching miles
TO the foothills of the Rocky Noun
tans. These are divided into the dis
tricts of &ssiniboia, Saskatchewan and
Alberta. The eastern part Of the firm
er is also admirably adapted for wheat
raising and mixed farming, and the
western part of the district and the
southern half of Alberta combine TO
furnish the great cattle rancnes of the
northwest, there being countless acres
of prairie land on which grow the most
nutritious grasses on the continent.
Northern Alberta, TO which have
fiocked In recent years thousands of set
tiers from Nebraska, Kansas, Wash
ington and other states, is the poor
mans paradise, and although it has
only had the advantages of railway
communication since 1891, is rapidly
filling up. There is practically no tax
alton in these districts. except for ed
ucational purposes, and each one pos
sesses every relulsite-in climate, soil,
fuel, water, etc.-that the most favored
old settled countries enjoy. No coun-
try is more prosperous than this Cana
dian northwest, and 10 none will there
be larger immigration, as its won
derful productiveness becomes known.

Our Hen House.

Several years ago when l built our
hen house, thought from what had
read on the subject, together with
what little experience had had, that
house 10x20 feet would Dc plenty large
enough in which TO successfully feed
and house 100 chickens. Being some
what low financially, ! did the work
myself, and what lacked in science in
the mason work, made up in mortar.
The outside of the building is sided
with patent siding, the inside with inch
patent lath, thus making double wall
and warm house. This fall / intend to
plaster IL so that the wall can be puri-
lied every spring and fall with a good
coat of whitewash. This is one OF the
many things that no one in the poultry
business can afford to neglect. 1t not
only purifies the building from con-
tasious diseases, but it gives the air
sweet smell which fowls as we'll as
human beings enjoy.
The building is situated lengthwise
east and west for the purpose of hav-
Ing plenty OF windows on the sunny
side. Yet, find that there Is not SUI
ficient light early in the morning. 1t
should and will have q window in the
east end. There is no danger OF get
ting too much light in a hen house.
In the southwest corner of the west
end is narrow door for cleaning pur-
poses, and ventilation in the extreme
hot weather In the middle OF the north
side is the door for the fowls and tend

west end from the ceiling with four

consider the following to be sure
remedy for hen lice: Arrange a place
in the hen house where the fowls must
pass through a small opening in order
to enter. On the threshold OF this
opening, tack several thicknesses Of old
carpet and saturate it with coal oil.
They will step on this before going to
roost and drawing the feet through the
feathers will exterminate the lice. This
may not be of much value to the older
ones, but there are the young people
who are settling around us whom
hope to keep from making the same
mistake I did in trying to keep too

DaIryIng in Russia.

AS but few of our readers will ever
have occasion to indulge in Russian
butter, we give the following descrip-
ton of the methods of that country:
Those who reside near cities produce
some poor butter and some milk for
sale, but those living remote from mar
ket produce no more than they can
consume. The cows are fed in winter
on coarse food such as oat, barley and
rye straw. In summer they give but
little milk, twelve or fourteen pounds
per day at most. The milk is done by
stripping with thumb and finger. The
milk is set in cellars in earthen
crooks, which are so porous that they
are very hard to clean, and the milk
sours very quickly. To avoid this diff
ficulty some of the peasants keep
number of small frogs in their cellars
for the purpose of putting in their
milk, their idea being that these cold
creatures take the heat out OF the
milk, and they put them in to keep it
sweet longer.
The cream is dipped off with wood
en- spoons and churned in an earthcn
pot by stirring with stick and the
butter is worked with the hands.

TO butter making, but cheese making
and especially the curing of cheese for

the market with a dish Of immature

makers cannot make a cheese that will
keep until it is cured, than let our

Great Chance for United States to Get
that Country's Trade.

WASHINGTON, July 3f.-Mr. Plumacher
at Maracaibo, has mare a report OF
great interest to the State Department,
pointing out in strong language the splen-
did opportunity open to the United States
to extend our trade with Venezuela at the
expense of other nations. He describes the
opportunity lost by the United States from
1890 to 1894, owing to the refusal of the
Venezuelans to accept the reciprocity propo-
sitions OF the United States but that, since
the duties were decreased, he notes a slight

creasng from 100000 to S.5O0,OO0 He at
tributes the depression in Venezuela TO the
financial and political views Of that coun-
try. and says that IL the present crisis
advantage, owing to the diplomatic compli-
cations with Germany and Great Britain.
The Germans" he says. are looked on
threat to send German ironclads TO La
guayra to enforce the payment of subsidy
due the builders of the principal Venezuelan
railway. The popular feeling on this point
was intensified by a suggestion in leading
newspaper that the Germans knew very
we'll that such payment was known to be
under the burdens of the late war, and
that they neither expected nor desired pay
ment, but. encouraged by the example of
Great Britain, they probably imagined that
rich Guiana territory as an indemnity. The
feeling against Great Britain is now most
intense throughout Venezuela. Pamphlets
and newspapers are constantly being pub
lisfed respecting British aggressions."
Mr. Plumacher says that on these ac-
counts the United States is ia much favor,
especially as Venezuela has never before
looked to the United States for counsel and
guidance. The people of the country would
prefer TO trade with the United tSates. New
York Is but six days from the Venezuelan
coast. The American steamship line has
been one of the principal factors in build
ing up trade on the coast. Mr.. Plumacher
says:
1T is to Americans, also, that venezuela
looks to-day for the development of her
great natural resources. and the govern
uent would grant most favorable conces-
sions to companies or individuals from the
, United States who come in good faith for
hat .
