the sense of smell and completely derange
the whole system when entering it through

1t is not essential to keep growing
chickens fat.
Clean the nests regularly to keep
them free from vermin.
IF the hens lay soft-shelled eggs
give them plenty of gravel.
To make most profitable fowls,
they should be fattened rapidly.
The food must always be varie ]
enough to keep the chickens with a
good appetite.
Too much soft or cooked food is not
good for fowls. They need some en-
pIoyment for the gizzard.
Overlooking is expensive. It not
only costs more for the feed, but the
hens get too fat and lay no eggs.
Cockerels, too young and small to
sell for broilers now, may be made
profitable by caponizing little later
on.
It does not pay to raise scrub stock.
Sell the scrubs and get well bred ami
mails. This is good year to make
the change, while prices are low.
We do not advise any one to capon-
ize young turkeys. They are too
tender and the operation is attended
with great rick and little benefit re-
turns from it.
The early Matched pullets are now
large enough TO permit of intelligent
selection. The culls should be dis
posed of, and the best reserved for
laying and breeding.

There have been many different
methods giveu by prominent dairy
men regarding the setting of milk in
pans for the cream to- rise, In the
large creameries where there conven
fence 70; handling milk, and where
the separator removes the cream in
stantly, no difficulty is met in secur-
ing the cream, but on dairy farms
there are obstacles. Unless within the
lost twenty years milk was placed in
shallow pans to rise, the cream skim
med off and held back until sufficient
quantity could be obtained for churn-
ing, which necessitated the mixing of
sweet and sour cream much to the
injury of the quality of the bntter.
When milk is set in shallow vessels a
larger surface is exposed to the air,
hence it is more subject to odors and
the influence Of the atmosphere, not
excepting husband it also more rap
idly sours or freezes if the weather is
cold, all of which conditions tend to
the production of inferior butter and
a loss to the farmer in the reduced
price obtained for his product.

Mr.. Tyrell, of the Geological Sur

nipeg, bound for Ottawa, and reports
having discovered rich tracts of agri
cultural and stock raising country
hitherto unknown. He left Selkirk
on January "a. From Norway House
he descended the Nelson River in a
canoe to the Pine River, ascending it
to Wolf River. Again the Nelson
was descended for seventy five miles,
until the Brentwood River was reach
ed, thence down the Grassy River to
the Sturgeon, which brought them to
the Saskatchewan at Cumberland
House. Recently they reached Prince
Albert. Mr.. Tyrell says that there
are large areas of rich, cultivable
lands west of the Nelson River, and
though wheat is not grown, simply
because it would be of nc value, all
varieties of vegetables are produced
in the gardens of the Hudson Bay
Company posts, and prove hardy.
Except for the climate, he declares
that that country is as richly blessed
as the famed Red River valley.

Now that the wool question IS De1ng
discussed, few facts in regard to
the advantages and drawbacks relat-
ing to sheep and wool may be inter-
esting. The number of sheep in the
United States in 1895, according to
the government report, was 1924
O64, the average value per sheep be-
ing $1.58, making a total of $66,6S5,
1857 In 1896 the total number was
Der of g, 1895, 1881. But the value had
been increased, and that is the point
to which attention is called-the in
creased ualue-which is stron 6 evil
dence of great Improvement being
effected in the breeds and quality of
the sheep in this country. The total
number of pounds of wool raised in
1896 was 800, 10000
A we'll bred sheep should weigh at
least $50 pounds when ready for mar
ket. They can be made to reach 300
pounds. These weights are for live
animals. The prices of common sheep
range from two to three cents per
pound, with from four to six cents per
pound for choice. AS the average
price to 1896 was $1.7O, it is plain the
value of the sheep in this country can
be easily doubled, thus adding $685.
100000 by simply raising mutton
sheep. The wool from the mutton
breeds is not as fine as that from the
merinos, but it is heavier and more
valuable than from scrubs, hence the
use of the mutton breeds, while in
creasing the value of the sheep, also
increases the production of wool at
the same time. 1t is admitted that
farmers are receiving very low prices
for their wool, but such prices have
attracted their attention to better
sheep, greatly benefting them in that
respect, as it will be bnt few years
before they will be more interested
in mutton and lambs than in wool.
If the sheep and wool produced on
the large ranches be deducted from
the totals, the actual number of sheep
raised and wool produced on the
farms is really only one half of the
estimates given, thus opening wide
field for farmers with improved
sheep.

mittei to bail in the sum of 81 900
$500 for himself and $500 for his sure
ties. When brought into court Mr.. Lay
ton politely tipped his hat to friends
and appeared cool and collected while
on the witness stand.
The only witness Of the shooting was
ElwQod Murphy, son of Shadrach Muir
ply, who lives near the station lie is
l3 years old and small for his age. He
testified that Layton and Collins were
both at Shadrach Murphy's last Sunday
and were drinking cider and whiskey
About o'clock they went to Laytons
store. He did not hear Collins ask about
mail matter, but Layton sold him some
cider and both were nearly drunk. After
Layton gave Collins the two cartridges
Collins spat on the counter. Layton
noticed 1t, but said it made no differ
ence, as he would wipe it up. Collins
then got mad and cursed Layton, when
the latter ordered him out and told
him II he did not go out he had some
thing TO make him 60 out Collins
threatened to strike Layton, when the
latter got his pistol, and after holding
il five minutes or so, fired, killing Col
Inns. The two men were at the store two
hours before the shooting
Waiter Crow, railroad agent at
Rhodesdale, saw the men a short time
before the shooting, and testified that
both had been drinking.
Layton testified as heretofore report
ed adding that Collins had threatened
three times to kill him, and he was
afraid of him. In March Collins, while
at his store. brandished a pistol in his
face because he asked him to keep
quiet, and threatened to shoot him. Col
lias mad told others that he intended to
Kill Layon, and the threats had been
reported to him. Layton was emphatic
in declaring that he thought Collins
was going to kill him, and that he fell
with his hand in his hip pocket. Cross
examination brought out the fact that
| Layton had been selling cider without
a license, but he stated that he did net
know it was against the law to give
cider away on Sunday.
George McWlliams, r. A. Melvin anC
Thomas Vickers testified 10 having
heard Collins say he would shoot Lay
ton. They. and also George A. Thomp
son ard Deputy Sheriff McAlliSter, tes

Judge Lloyd, in rendering his decision
stated that he did not think a jur,
would convict Layton of murder, bu
when a human life has been taken un
der such circumstances, it nigh
lamom; to manslaughter, and it wa
proper for It to be investigated by tn,

whether or not the horse or driver
would get to the Department of Elec-

and the wagon did the rest. There
was a crash, and twelve or fourteen
feet of iron railing was waiting to give
somebody a job. The horse and its
load proceeded to Sixth and Shipley,

THE DUPONT A WONDER.

The Herreshoffs have given the
United States navy twin torpedo boat
to the Porter in the DUPONT which
averaged 2S6 knots on her official trial
trip on Wednesday last, says the Phil.
adelphia Record. This speed is virtu-
ally equal to that of her sister craft,
which was proclaimed to be the swift
est war vessel in American waters. The
Federal fleet is decidedly lacking in
torpedo boats; but those of the type
that are being added certainly give
promise of a fine development of this
class in the near future. There would
seem to be no reason why the Ameri-
can builders should not soon rival the
highest triumphs of British torpedo
boat building.
