Soils for Poultry.

A sandy, dry soil is best for poultry,
Is such soils, if very porous, will be
cleaned by the rains carrying down
the filth into the soil, and because
there is less mud and dampness in
winter. Nearly all of the large duck
farms are on sandy soils, and as the
use of such soils for the raising Of
poultry IS profitable, there should be
an opportunity for those who have
farms composed of light soils that can
not be made to pay otherwise, to de-
vote them topoultry, especially if near
markets can be conviently reached. -

He Is John DAILY and Is Stationed at

John Daily is the youngest soldier in
the army of the United States. DAILY, OIL
johnny as he is called affectionately
by his comrades, is the Wee Willie
Winkieof the battalion of engineers sta
toned tsANillet's Point, LII. Itmay be
said of him that he was born soldier,
for his father before him, Michael Daily,
was in the service of his country for
about 80 years. He was born on the res
ervation, and his infancy and childhood
were spent with the soldiers. He played
at soldiers and war with ten pins, and
while very small infant was a great
strategist. He was sappeF and miner,
and built breastworlzs Of mud and forts,
of stray bits of brick and stone. He had
always great regard for Uncle SAM"
whom he regarded as real person and
one of his blood relatives.
About year ago Johnny determined
to join the army, and prevailed upon his
father to enlist him.s Being then under
IA, Johnnywas enlisted by special order
as drummer boy, and he is now one of
the four field musicians at the post.
The other three are full grown men.

But even if we cannot picture the first
canine ancestor, we can easily decide
which are the earliest types now living
OF the true dogs perhaps the most prim-
tive is the dingo, or wild dog of Aus
tralia. On that great island continent
there is another native canine. Near
lyevery four-footed mother in that land
of the southern sea carries her babies in
her pocket. But mamma dingo does
not follow this prevailing fashion
which the kangaroos and their cousins
have set for ages; and papa dingo does
not associate upon friendly terms with
"old man. kangaroo. Yet the dingo
is clearly the ruler among the four
footed people of the bush-so much so
that the native Australian considers
him the king of the beasts.
These wild dogs sometimes run in
packs, but more often plowl about in
pairs; and literally they are pretty
pair.of rogues,' for every dingo is good
looking and bad acting. He is about
two feet high and finely proportioned,
with tail as handsome as the brush so
proudly worn by our familiar friend,
Reynard. The tip of the idingo' s tail is,
usually white, and the rest of his body
tawny or reddish, but lighter upon
breast and belly. He stands firm and
strong upon his well-buiIt legs; so take
him all together, Canine Dingo is a
handsome fellow. But he is far from
beautiful in behavior. He howls and
prowls like wolf, he sneaks and steals
like fox, and has all the mean habits
of sheep-killing dog. He never barks,
but you really ought to hear him how'll
Once is enough. Even the bushmen-
sound sleepers as they are-awa,le at his
blood-curdling cry.
The dingos breed in the malice scrub.
They live upon marsupials-and spring
lambs. untilathe bushmen rise in their
might and kill as many of them as pos
sible. Nearly every province in Aus
.ralia offers reward for their heads.
As high as two pounds head has been
paid, which certainly proves that the
Australians think that the only good
lingo is dead dingo. .sa 81 ~

Only a Chair Cover.

During the past winter bazaar was
held in Blackburn to raise funds for a
cofntry church in the vicinity. Among
the types of yokels who attended on
this occasion were farmer and his
wife, who were both noted for their
plain and stay-at-home habits The
worthy farmer was persuaded to try
his luck in a rattle, and was agreeably
surprised on the following day to
learn he had won an article described
as an antimacassar. Thinking this
was, perhaps. some heavy article of
furniture and having no acquaintance
with fashionable drapery goods he
went with his strongest cart and a
laborer to bring home his prize. He
was greatly disappointed and SUR
prised to find that nothing awaited
him but a small and delicately-worke
article for a drawing room couch. And
in the bitterness of his grief he turned
to the amused spectators and ex.
