Sometime poultry raisers provids

lack of fresh water. Water enters

can be made to last much longer if they
are placed with the end hair end up,
the hair separated and some varnish
poured in. This will tighten the
handle and prevent the hair from
coming out. If bound with leather q
liberal oiling will prevent the lime
from burning it up.
1t is waste of food to fatten to q
point where the animal makes but q
small daily gain. In fattening animals
for market it should be done quickly,
and the lot sent to market as soon as
they cease to gain in proportion to the
food consumed. Every day after that
period increases the cost.
1t has been thoroughly demonstrated
that mule is superior to horse for
labor and endurance. They can be
put to work earlier and last longer than
most horses. They require less feed
and much less expensive diet than q
horse and freer from disease and
seldom foundered or colicky.

A good deed is never lost; he who

unsound and insecure all who fail to

no man the judge of his brother.

EGYPT AND INDIA WEARY OF ENG.
LAND.

It is only, however, a question of
time when the ideal outcome of Eng
lands notion of free trade will have
been reached in India, when, namely,
almost an manufactured articles will
be imported from Great Britain. and
the whole labor of the enormous pop
ulaltion from the Himalayas to Ceylon
will be applied to the production of
food staples and raw materials. That
is not England's view of what consti-
tutes civiliza ton at home, but it is
the kind of civilization which she
would like to promote in her depen-
denotes. Unquestionably there is
peace and there is order under British
rule in India, but the British rulers
are disliked, and the mass of the
people would prefer to work out the
problem of social existence in their
own way. They have the same right
to such a preference that all other
peoples have. This may be said of
the Egyptians also. 1t is true that the
land tax is much lower in Egypt to-
day than it was before the British
occupation; that the interest on the
public dept is promptly paid, and that
the national securities in the hands of
foreign bondholders are worth several
times what was paid for them. Never
theless, all intelligent Egyptians,
while recognizing the value of the
temporary service rendered Great
Britain, are of the opinion that the
occupation should now end, and that
opinion is shared by almost every civ
flized country except England.-From
