Care of Poultry.

Those who succeed best with poultry
are those who study carefully the laws
of nature regarding fowls and their
wants, says the California Fruit
Grower. Poultry keepers of this
school do not need countless acres for
their fowls to range ON in order to keep
them healthy, but cause them to thrive
in quite small quarters. Some of the
healthiest and most prolific fowls are
those owned by the ''boat people" of
the Canton district Of China. These
fowls seldom get away from their
small pen built on portion of the
boats deck.
If you cannot afford anything better
in the way of building paper to line
your hen house, use old newspapers
and paste them on the inside all over
the sides and ends of the houses. Do
it before the chilly wet weather begins,
and you will save yourself considerable
trouble with sick hens
Thousands of farmers, who have
every means of providing for good
sized flock of poultry, would be aston.

from them if they gave them the same

fowls.

!. 1t is estimated that about 1000 men
will have to be added to the navy in
the next two years in order to furnish
crews for the new vessels that will be
ready for service in that time. These

for the navy would be by an elastic
provision of law, whereby men could
be recruited as needed, without re-
quiring fresh legislation every time a

takes time to drill even able seamen
for the work of the navy, and exigen-
cies sometimes arise in which time in

these. The sudden assembling of

winter was an object lesson which our
nation should take to heart.

Friends of the immigration bill are
disappointed that the measure which
passed the Senate had in it no restric-
lions which apply to Canadians who
come to this side of the line to work,
but maintain their homes on the other
side. An amendment to the bill in
the House provides that this class of
labor should be absolutely prohibited
BY provision that home labor must
De IN this country. This evil is felt
most IN the lumber and shipping in
dustrles. On the lakes it aroused sea-
men to such an extent that there was
q provision that seamen must have

German merchants are contemplating
scheme of wonderful magnitude in
Japan, according to the Asahi. 1t is
reported that about twenty firms, in
Guiding ship-building, railway and
other big concerns, are combining to
form syndicate in order to get all the
orders of the Japanese Government
which are to be given in consequence
of the military extension and other
schemes projected subsequent to the
war with China, and to import every
thing required in Japan through their
own hands. Be the articles wanted of
English, French or American origin,
they intend to supply them themselves,
by making special arrangements with
German firms in various countries.
They also intend to engage in the ex.
port trade of Japan. Their representa-.
tive is already in Yokohama, and Ger.
tain prominent native merchants are
said to be interested in the scheme.
Should the scheme be actually carried
out, Great Britain, America, France
and other countries will be driven out
of the markets, and it cannot fail tC
affect the commercial world to very
great extent.

How to Cure Pork.


One of the largest American ham
and mess pork curers has given an in
terviewer the following description of
his curing process The hams are
placed in large tray of fine salt. then
the flesh surface is sprinkled with fine
ly groun crude saltpeter, until the
hams are as white as though covered
by moderate frost, or, to say to
of saltpetre to 100 pounds of green
hams. After applying the saltpetre,
Immediately salt with the fine salt,
covering well the entire surface. Now
pack the hams in bulk, but not in
piles more than three feet high. In
ordinary weather the hams should
remain thus for three days. Then
break bulk and resalt. The hams thus
sailed and resulted should remain in
salt, in bulk, one day for each and
every pound each ham weighs, that is,
a 10-pound ham should remain ten
days, and in such proportion of time
for larger and smaller sizes. Next
wash with tepid water until the hams
are thoroughly cleaned, and, after
partially drying, rub the entire surface
with finely ground pepper. Then the
hams should be hung in the smoke
house, and this important operation
begun. The smoking should be very
gradually and slowly done. After the
hams are cured and smoked they should
be repeppered to guard against yermin,
and then bagged. These hams are i'm.
proved with age, and are in perfection
when one year old.

The best plants of blackberry and
red raspberry are obtained by cutting
strong vigorous roots in pieces four or
five inches apart in drills, says NJ. A.
Thayer in a recent article. Good
plants are thus made in one season.
Sucker plants coming up around the
hill or between the rows are also used
and make good plants if carefully dug
and portion of the cross root re-
tanned. New plants of the black rasp-
berry are obtained by covering the tips
with two or three inches of moist dirt,
and leaving until spring.
Cuttings of the currant, gooseberry
and grape may be made as soon as the
leaves drop. New growth should be
selected and cut in pieces about eight
inches long. The cuttings may be set
at once, eight inches apart in rows,
leaving one bud above ground, or they
may be tied in bundles, buried in sand
and kept from frost until ready for
setting in the spring.
Good plants are also made by layer
ing, bending the new growth TO the
ground and covering to the tip with
moist dirt. This is the surest and best
method, especially with gooseberries,
which are hard to propagate from cut
tings. All cuttings should be placed in
rich, well-prepared soil and thorough
ly cultivated the following season. In
severe climates protect in winter with
mulch of coarse manure or straw.
There are some advantages in propa.
eating your own plants. You can con-
tinue those varieties that do best in
your particular locality and soil. You
can transplant them as soon as your
ground is properly prepared. You can
use more care in transplanting and fill
the missing hills at leisure.

Forgiveness of injuries may be hard
to do, but it is absolutely necessary to
be done. The Bible teaches us that we
must all forgive our enemies and do
good to those who despitefully use us.
1t is a principle of Christianity, and is
the outcome Of the Holy Spirit when
He dwells within us. Forgiveness of
those who injure or wrong us is a
Christian virtue that only the Holy
Ghost can impart. When you receive
the Spirit of adoption and are freed
from the yoke of bondage'-from the
dominion of sin, you are indeed made
free" and have for the first time in
your life liberty" 1t is, as. we are
told, truth shall make you free" When

This is from the Scotland Neck Com
mOnwealth, one of our valued state
exchanges:
Mr.. j. r. Tillery told the editor of
The Commonwealth a few days ago
that some time in the thirties when it
was first proposed to build a railroad
from Wilmington to Weldon and track
it with iron, Mr.. Benjamin Edmunds,
who lived in the upper part of Halifax
county, said that there was not enough
iron in the world to do it."
1t recalls what we heard an old negro
say at Halifax early in the late war.
The first train of cars hat PASSED
through the historic town containing
soldiers was very long. They were
filled with Georgians h%urrying to Vir-
ginia and numbered 1900 or so. Many
citizens had gathered at the depot,
and when the long train went by the
soldiers were on platforms and with
heads out of windows. An old darkey
looking on was amazed and said: Il
didn't know dar was dat many foxes
in dis world" Like Mr.. Edmunds he
had lived too much at home. We
knew Mr.. Edmunds personally. He

Those students Of history who recog-
nize the racial difference between the
negro and the anglo saxon know that
the negro is untitled for self govern
ment. Many centuries of slavery and
despotism have caused him to worship
power, and the more absolute it is the
more intense his reverence for it. Two
thirds of the earth's population, as all
travellers in the Orient know, inherit
that disposition and possess it today.
None but an insane person would dream
of bestowing the right of participating
in the business of government upon the
peasants OF those countries. Yet the ne
gro is as far inferior to the other oriental
races as a Canlanche Indian TO a civilized

the civilized eX-slave of America votes
more solidly on the side of disorder. and
commits more crime by far than in the

other words, he exhibits his racial un-
