The question of holding mining property in different parts Of the world varies. As Is well known the United States requires the owner or holder of mining claim to perform annually on his unpatented claim SlOO worth of work. lu Mexico com sessions arc sold for working min ing claims, and the holder Is re- quired to pay a stipulated amount of money annually tO the govern ment. In Australia, under the laws of the colony, the holder of a min cral lease from the government, IS bound to keep at least one man at work on each three acres included m the lease. Although a large mum Der of miners have gone to the col ony during the past tao years, so many of them are prospecting or locating claims on their own account that it Is difficult for the leasehoid CTS to find men to do the necessary work

Winter Poultry Notes

How Much Room?-More room is re-
CURED in the poultry house in winter
than In summer because during the
warm season the fowls can go outside,
only requiring sufficient room for roost-
ing, but In winter they need room for
scratching when the snow Is on the
ground. II Is the space on the floor
that is required and not on the roost,
for when a hen fixes herself on the
r0ost she will be quiet until morning;
but during the day she should be kept
busy. Ten fowls in a poultry house
ten feet .auare (making 100 square feet)
are suffi but most persons endeav-
or to double and even treble that num-
Der, and the consequence is that they
feed too many fowls in proportion to
the number Of hens they keep. CThe
Farmers Review doubts the correctness
of the statement, and believes that far
less Is required.)
Frozen Food.-AIl food that has been
moistened will freeze and become USE
less when the weather is cold. When
the food is placed in the trough it
should be rather too little than too
much, and should be given warm. AS
soon as the hens have eaten, all the
food left over should be removed and
the trough cleaned. If they have not
had enough a little wheat or corn may
be scattered in litter for them to
scratch. If they eat partially frozen
