THE CANADIAN ROUTE.

WAS the route through Canada de-
cided upon because of any antagonism
that might assert itself among the
people of the Pacific coast atates?''
At this point the viceroy called for his
official interpreter, Lo Fung Lu, to
whom he made the following reply:
The choice of the Canadian route
was determined upon for two reasons;
first, while 1 was high commissioner of
tine northern portion of China. 1 re-
ceived many complaints from our Chi
nese subjects in this country that they
were not in possession of the rights to
which they were entitled here, and in
voked my assistance to secure their full
rights Your laws here now curtail
these rights, and I did not care to go
through the states where the people
had been most instrumental in bringing
about these restricting laws. Second,
while l ann a good sailor, l am an old
man and I have been informed THAI
tine steamers sailing from Vancouver
are much more comfortable than those
leaving San Francisco.
Without waiting for another question
the viceroy again turned his attention
to
THE GEARY ACT.
1.-The Chinese exclusion is most I'M
fair. Competition is good for any coun-
try. Competition keeps the markets
in a healthy condition, whether this
competition is in the prices Of labor or
commodity. The Geary act was
brought about by the Democratic party
and the Irish people because the Chi
neYe are the rivals of the Irish Ia
borers. Put aside the fact that [ am
a high official, and speaking as a COM
mon politician, let me ask if such a
law is in the interest OF the American
people? Is it good policy to exclude
cheap labor? Would you exclude
cheap commodities? You are proud Of
your ingenuity, and boast of your lib
ea1ty and freedom, but there is no free
dom of labor. 1 cannot see the fruits
and the effects of this liberty. You
are not only a. people of great inven-
tons but you are a. country of large
AGRICULTURAL resources and a country
of commerce and industry. England is
purely a country of industry. You
make better machinery and agricultu-
raj implements than any either nation
in the world, but these manufactures
are unfortunately SO expensive in for
eign markets that their sale is limited.
This is because your labor is so high.
If you let i'm cheap labor. you can sell
your goods more cheaply. The irish
people hate the Chinese because the
Chinese possess greater virtue"
THE INDUCEMENTS OFFERED.
What are the inducements offered to
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-09-03

ASK him whether he is in favor of
binaetaMism instituted by the United
States alone, or whether he is in favor
of it when somebody decides than the
American people shall be permitted to
have it. (Applause.) If he says he
thinks foreign nations ought to join
with the United States. ask him what
foreign nations he thinks we need 10
join us, and if he says he thinks we

DEMAND FOR FIVE WEEKS OLD
CHICKENS.

At a large stock farm in Maryland,
where a speciality is made of poultry,
it is stated that 20, 900 young chickens
have been marketed in the year past,
and that a single hotel in New York
City would be glad to make a contract
for the entire production. a baby"
white Plymouth Rock ''broiler" Is said
to be the especial favorite, and one ex-
PLANTATION Of the manner IN which they
have come to be $50 popular is thus
given by the Rural New Yorker:
"a few years ago, the family of one
of our American miilionaires went I o
Paris and ate a dinner at which little
birds were served-One for each guest.
They were smaller than ordinary broil
ers, one whole one providing about
m6at enough for each person. This
seemed like an agreeable fad, and when
they returned tt America this family
demanded these little birds in place of
broilers. This fashion has spread among
the rich until a plump chicken five
weeks old will often sell for as much as
a large broiler. Or course this means
a gain to the feeder of at least a months
feeding. 1t just illustrated how changes
in fashion strike below the surface into
the production of articles of food. The
rich and fastidious demand d~elicacies
fruits, vegetables and meats out of
their natural seasons. This demand
49,
are found who invent the appliances
needed to produce the artificial con.
ditions required to grow plants and
animals out of their seasons. These
appliances are improved and extended
until what was once a luxury becomes
cheapened to a necessity, and rich and
poor alike enjoy it. That is the history
of forced fruits and vegetables, broilers,
dollhouse lambs. etc"

morally, socially and fnan-

tally, morally, socially and fnan-
cially."
This was a meeting of the District
Alliance, and the hall was well filled
with ladies and gentlemen.
The meeting was called to order by
the President, Bro. w. J. Ector. Every
Alliance in the district, except one was
represented.
Every Sub. in the district that was
represented made a very favorable re-
port of the work done in their ALI
ances. O5ceola has an annual meeting
always on Christmas week. This ALI
ance made it's annual report of the
work done during the year, which was
very gratifying to hear.
The brethren of Osceola order ell
their supplies through the Agency,
and stick very jealousy to the Alliance,
attending their meetings well and
always making them very interesting,
If every Alliance in the State would
patroDlze the Agency as we'll as this
one does, it would, to say the least,
double the work done by our State
Business Agency, besides being a great
stlmulant t. build up the organization.
Bro. W. J EctOr made a drawing of
bankers, politicians and laboring men,
showing the effect Of class legislation
on the laboring man so plain that a
wayf8ring man, though a fool, could
not err therein.
J.. P. Boone, the District Lecturer,
made a ringing speech CT the duty Of
Alliancemen, setting forth plainly the
duty Of every Individual member of
Alliance in the upbuiiding of this
Oder. After part4k,ng OF a stump
ruOus ChrIetma8 dinner prepared by
the good ladies Of Q .ceOla and vicinity,
we assembled together and listened
to q most excellent Alliance speech de-
llvered by Bro. Montgomery from
PhOmpsOnVilte Alliance, Rockingham
county. Bro. Montgomery went back
to the foundation OF the government,
showing the rise and fall of the differ
ent political parties up to the present
time-the act creating the national
banking system-Its corruption.
1t this escapes the waste basket, |
will write sOOn again about our County
Altar &c meeting.
With beat wishes for you and THE
PROGRESSIVE FARMER, | remain,
Yours fr8ternally,
ID a. MONTGOMERY.

LIVE STOCK.
HORSE.

The horse Alpha has astOni5hed Lon
don theatre goers with his intelligence.
A blackboard is brought upon the stage,
and he is asked to show his arithmati
cal powers. The animal turns to the
figures, thinks a moment, apparently,
and then paws out on the floor figure
after figure, till his subtraction or ad
dition or multiplication sum is correct
Iy done. Some times he makes a mis-
take, and with an impatient shake Of
his name and a vicious light in his eyes,
he begins again and rights the wrong.
Somehow, the British mind refuses to
believe that a horse, even OF the Alpha
breed, actually docs sums" one sus-
poets some hidden trick by which the
trainer causes his horse to make Ger
tain signs that look like the result Of
thought. But whether or not his trainer
employs these artistic" means, the
result is certainly most striking, and
if trick there De, it is concealed in a
most marvellous manner.
Alpha also plays the harmonium,
and his rendering of God Save the
Queen" on an enormous key board is a
startling performance, and a more cor
rect one than in many other cases. The
cIevtr creature also selects letters from
the alphabet, tells the time, plays a
game OF nap, and fires a gun, for which
latter feat, strange to say, he shows a
decided prediction. The performance
ends with q grotcsque transformation
of the beautiful horse into a nurse in
skirts, white apron, tartan shawl and
gorgeous poke bonnet. Little Beta, a
fat two year-old pony, which is only
just being trained for an artistic career,
is caused to sit on it's launches in q
perambulator, and the nurse Alpha
wheels him across the stage.

The first requisite, as is often said,
and more recently repeated by a writer,
then, to profitable poultry keeping is a
good, comfortable poultry house. But
do not crowd it among other farm
buildings in a damp and shady place,
to saw a few feet of ground. Select a
dry location with southern exposure.
Then do not put up a little 8X1O shanty
for 100 or more fowls. Every farmer
should have a substantial poultry
house, not less than 14x3O feet in size,
with water proof roof, rat proof flor,
and walls and ceilings lathed and plas-
tered, 1t should have several full sized
windows on the south side. And do
not forget to put the windows near the
floor, 80 that the slGnting rays Of the
winter sun will fall on the floor and
not over the fowls against the opposite
side Of the house only. Keep the floor
well covered with chatf, dry forest
leaves or other litter, and when the
hens cannot enjoy themselves out-ot
doors, scatter some grain in the litter
and they Will get the exercise they SO
much need.
Make some provision for saving all
the droppings under the roosts, using
plenty of absorbents, such as dry road
dust, coal ashes or land plaster, and
the fertilizer you a accumulate in a
year will 90 a good ways towards pay
ing you for the time you spend in caring
for your fowls. If you expect me to
tell you which is the best breed, you
will be disappointed. All breeds are
good when properly cared for. Choose
the breed you like the best.-Farmers'
Voice.

SUGGESTION.

OF course, a single Individual hen
does not cut much of q figure by the
side of a good butter COW; but give me
the money it takes to buy a first class
Jersey COW, and let me inves5 it in first
class hens or puiIets, then keep a strict
account with your COW, aud 1 will DO
the same with my hers, and if a. the
end Of the year 1 30 not Gomez cut ahead
of you on the profit side of the ledgeri5
will be simply because I have not given
my poultry proper care AID manage
ment. We cannot expect something
for nothing, even IN the poultry ousi-
ness. II you compel your mems to shift
for themselves, and you find them
standing around in the snow and mud
during the day, and perhaps painting
your farm tools in an open shed during
the night, do not blame the hens if you
have no eggs to market when they are
wanted at 25 cents a dozen.
