so long as it can be used instead OF

In the winter your poultry Is com
ne,,ed to be under shelter much of tie
time. and you should see to it that the
poultry house is put in proper condl-
ton for them before severe weather
sets in. says an exchange. Put on the
whitewash wherever it will stick,
walls, roof, nests and all; see that the
nerches are in good condition, free from
sharp edges, nails or any other thing
that might injure the fowl. Have your
nerches all on the same level to avoid
crowding at the top. Don't have them
too high, one and half or two feet
is sufficient. Where perches are too
high. fowls. especially the larger va
rieties are apt to injure themselves in
fving up or down. See that the nest
boxes are all right, easy of access and
clean, with good fresh straw in them

DR.. NJ. X. Robinson of East Kent,
England, was recently requested to in
vestisate sudden serious outbreak of
illness in religious house containing
five sisters, a cook and housemaid.
says Hoard's Dairyman. Although no
fatal results had accrued. the symp-
toms were severe and convalesence pro-
tractcd. Five out of the seven inmates
were attacked within short period of
each other, thus indicating some COM
mon origin as the source Of the mis-
chief. suspicion was attached to the
milk supplied to the household. which
had been taken alone, blended with
tea, and in the form of blanc mango.
To the morning and afternoon supply
the cook had added preseryatiye
which was found to contain, as its
basis, boracic acid. \ sample as de-
livered by the dairyman was analyzed
and found also to contain a similar
substance. Thus, for the same purpose
a prescrvative had been added both he.

by which treatment an overdose had
been administered. Permission was
obtained to give the portion of uncon-
sumed blanc mango TO nine fowls Five
deyoured the food with ayidity. and
thus secured larger portion than the
remaining four. and, although vigorous
pullets. they all died. The remaining
four suffered badly, but ultimately re
covered. DR.. Robinson quotes the opin-
ions of Fere, Sir Andrew Clark. Sir
Henry Thompson and DR.. Lander
Brunton as to the poisonous character
of the admixture and urges that the
presence of the drug should be recog-
nized as an injurious adulteration. If
such results, he says, can be produced

sonable to presume that infants can.

relopment which has characterized the
importation of Australian butter into
the United Kingdom since its COM
mencement In 1887 For the previous
five seasons the import had gone on
with marvellous rapidity until It reach
ed the large total Of 2?. 900, 600 pounds.
The severe drouth, however, which
lately afflicted several of the Australian
colonies. has temporarily retarded this
development, and for the season lately
closed only 100000 pounds were re-
ceived. This shortage was fOreseen In
Europe early last August and produced
two important results. The Danes. who
have been watching with great anxiety
the growth of the Colonial butter trade,

sition OF affairs, and believing that
they had the winters trade very much

N the Wholesale price of Danish butter
in Copenhagen to 1888, which was high
or than it had been for years. while in
London it rose to 142s. The Copen-
hagen committee overreached itself, for
the rise in values speedily brought in
larger imports from other sources, no
tably from the States and Canada,
which together in October and Novem-
Der sent 3,340 tons against 626 for the

year, the shortage from Australasia for
those two months being only 800 tons.

most successful play Of its kind ever pro-
duced in this country. The present indi-
cations are that it will be. accorded
hearty welcome on its return to the city

vance sale having been exceptionally
large
Mr.. d. A. Bonita has organized for this
season one of the strongest companies
ever seen in the play, and the cast in
cludes two members who were IN the
original London production eight years
ago.
The piece will be well mounted, and
should be given an admirable interpreta-
ton. The story of Jim the Penman
has been too often heard and read TO
need any repetition. The London and
New York successes have become
matter of history, which reflects great
credit on the eminent author. 1t can be
nothing less than true merit that permits
a piece TO run three years in one large
city and an entire season in another.
