Canadian Pork.

The st. Louis Butchers and Pack
ers' Magazine is paying some atten-
ton to the question of Canadian pork.
The Magazine gives the claims Of the
Canadians in the following sentences:
/. The great progress the pork-pack-
ing trade has made in the last few
years in Canada, completely changing
the business here. Formerly nearly all
our requirements were imported from
the United States, but now Canada
supplies nearly all it's wants by Cana
dian products. In 1886 the imports into
Canada amounted to 25,000,000 pounds
of meats: last year the imports were
reduced to only 100000 pounds. Our
exports have increased at still great
er ratio, in 1886 being 5000, 900 pounds.
whereas in 1895 the exports were AZ
100000 pounds.
2. The benefit to farmers in having
market at all packing centers con-
siderably over the prices paid in the
United States packing points.
3. The bearing it has on the butter
and cheese industries. stimulating the
raising Of hogs in connection with the
butter and cheese factories throughout
the country. This is especially apple
able to the Province Of Quebec, and we
look for a large increase in hog rails
ing in the Province on these lines.
A. The bearing the speculative mar
kets in Chicago have on the pack
ing business here, where at times, by
reason of short OF long speculative
interest, they are enabled to advance
or depress value without any relation
to its cost or intrinsic value. A packer
in Canada would not stock up as
should be done in the packing season,
as he would be at the mercy OF any
sudden change in the speculative mar
kets in Chicago.
8. Cost to commemorative believe
that with the large supplies in Can
ada, and the competition amongst
Canadian packers, the cost to con-
sumers generally Is less than il i'm
porting was depended upon: in any
case, in only two or three articles Is
cost raised, whereas, in the other ar
ticles more generally used, the cost is
less than in the United States.
6. We would also draw your atten-
tion to cottonseed oil. This Is imported
from the United States, and pays a
duty OF 20 per cent. or three-fourths
cents, per pound. It Is used to make
compound lard to sell against pure
lard. It does not seem to the packing
trade that this Is an equitable rate OF
duty, and we would suggest that 1t be
changed to at least 30 per cent. on
edible cottonseed oil, but not to affect
the oil imported for soapmakers or
other purposes.

dampness kills the chicks. heat being
lowered by rapid evaporation.
Il. The reason that the hen that
steals her nest matches so we'll is be-
cause you do not give her all sorts OF
eggs, such as large eggs, small eggs,
and eggs from old hens and immature
pullets, such as you put in the incuba-
tor.
%. Send away the curious visitor
just when your eggs are Matching.
90. Keep the incubator in a place OF
moderate temperature. A window on
one side will make that side cooler
than the other.
q. Do not. expect to hatch withour
work. The man who expects to gel
chicks by trusting to the regulator to
keep the heat regulated does not de.
serve success. Work is required for
other stock that need winter care, and
the artificial hen is no exception.
25. Begin with one incubator, and
learn. before you try more than one.
26. No matter how much you read.
experience will be the best teacher.
q. Have your Incubator warm be-
fore you put in the eggs.
%. A child can not manage an in
cubator, all claims to the contrary not
withstanding. Incubators are not
toys. Do not turn over a mans work
to a boy.
20. Let the bulb OF thermometer
touch a fertile egg.
80. In the winter the hen will not
hatch over one-half of her eggs, nor
raise one-half of her chicks. The in
cubator and brooder. il skillfully man
aged, will do better than this.-H. p.
Jacobs. in Farm Poultry.

Scientists tell us that sunshine is
one of the best microbe killers and
consumption cures. DR.. Stolker, Iowa
state veterinarian, discovered on his
trips through that state, that those
cattle stalled nearest the light, were
freest from disease. This is good
point for dairymen to remember when
overhauling the barn or building a
new one--i. e., put in more windows
on the south side and have the stable
so arranged that the cows may receive
sunshine.

chine more than they feed into 1t; who
are not willing to pay for and read a
good dairy paper; who do not like a
COW and who don't wash before break
last, are not cut out for dairying in
Kansas or elsewhere"
A friend tells us the following story
and vouches for the truth of it: A
neighboring farmer recently repur-
chased cow which he had some three
years before sold to a southern gen.
tleman. She had been transferred to
farm in another state. and had
passed through the usual ups and
downs of COW on the diversified-farm
plan. When brought back to her old
home. and the old stable door opened
she walked in, and down the line, and
without q seconds hesitation sought
and placed herself in her old tie-up,
and in every way seemed delighted. On
the appearance of the mistress of the
farm the cow lowed and manifested
Joy unbounded. Is there not a dairy
lesson in this incident?

field Republican. The wife was Penn
sylvania girl whom he had met while
visiting in the north, had married and
taken to his southern home just before
the breaking out of the war. He was
one Of the first to enlist in the confe3-
crate army; and to devote himself
more completely to the cause he sent
his wife, at the first boom of the guns
at Fort Sumter, back to her parents
in Pennsylvania, to remain till the
great struggle was ended. Now, in
1866, five years after their separation,
she was on her way south to rejoin her
husband and place in his arms their
four-year-old daughter. whom he had
never seen. 1t was not long before all
the passengers on our car knew the
story, and there was not man among
us who did not feel a tenderness for
and a protecting interest in both.
There never was a woman whose heart
was more full OF love and joy. She
could do nothing but talk of the cap
tain and wonder IL he had changed so
that she could not recognize him, or II
he would not be able to recognize her.
Then she would fall to wondering II
he would know his little daughter IL
he met her in the street by her resem-
blance to himself, which, as he had
never set eyes on her, did not seem
probable Throughout that long days
ride We entered heartily into that dear
little woman's hopes, fears, doubts and
joys and shared them TO such an ex-
tent that we were quite as anxious to
see the captain as she was. We reached
our journeys end and before the train
had fairly stopped a tall, elegantly pro-
portioned fellow of q came bounding
into our car. The little woman gave
such scream of joy as L can never
forget, and in less time than / can tell
1t was standing in the car aisle clasped
in the young soldiers manly arms. and
tears OF joy unutterable coursed down
two beautiful young faces as their lips
met. For my own part. my own eyes
were so full of binding moisture that
| could see nothing when the proud and
happy young wife and mother led her
husband for the first time to the place
where their little child lay sleeping.

Incubator Pointers,

/. Matching chicks with an incnba-
tor is winter pursuit.
2. The hen seldom sits in winter.
| hence she and the incubator do not
conflict
3. Hens that lay in winter can not
produce as fertile eggs at that time as
In the spring, for the cold season pre-
vents exercise. the hens become fat
and the pullets are not as fully ma
tured, while the male, II he has a
| frosted comb. suffers from the cold. or
becomes too fat. and is unserviceable.
4. Do not use extra large eggs, or
small eggs. Have all eggs of normal
size. and OF perfect shape.
S. Do not be afraid to watch your
Incubator. 1t pays as well to keep
awake at night to watch a hundred
chicks hatch out as it does to keep
awake to save S. calf from loss when
1t is dropped, and the chicks are worth
| more than calf.
6. No incubator has brains. 1t will
regulate. but can not think.
Z. When chicks die in the shell the
chances are that too much of q
draught Of air passed over them. When
the hen is Matching she will fight IL
even feather Is lifted from her. She
will not allow the slightest change Of
temperature. and she will hatch as
| ton.
s. Dry, warm nests in winter, and
moist nests in summer, is an old pro-
verb, hence the moisture depends on
the season. Less is required in the in
cubator in the winter.
8. AS the chicks progress in the eggs
they give off heat. hence be careful of
source OF heat may be.
10. Too much moisture covers the
! egg and excludes the air from the
chick within the egg.
III. No currents of air can pass
through an incubator without plenti-
full supply of moisture. but In the in
oubators that have no currents but lit
tie moisture is needed.
| IL. Do not take out the chicks I'M
/ I'll you DetlcNe oil are udtCneu. III YOU

drop, and you will let In the cold air
on the eggs. Never disturb the eggs
when chicks are Matching
| 13. Test your incubator with mois-
ture, no moisture, plenty of air, and
air shut off. as each incubator may
differ from the other.
IA. Eggs will be aired sufficiently
when the eggs are turned. 1t is Of no
consequence to cool them.
Is. If the chicks do not hatch out by
the twenty-first day your heat is too
low.
16. II the chicks begin to hatch on
the eighteenth day your heat was rath-
err high.
IL. Do not put eggs in at different
periods during the hatch, and do not
hatch ducklings and chicks together.
IS. The same rule applies to the eggs
OF hens, ducks, turkeys and guineas,
as regards heat and moisture.
10. Never sprinkle the eggs. It
lowers the heat instantly, and some
times kills the chicks In the shells.
20. II the incubator shows moisture

Southern Amaxons.

Edward c. Ffoulkes has just received
information that James Kyle, a great
granduncle, has died in Virginia, be-
queathing 100000 to his mother. Mr..
DR.. James +. Ffoulkes. who is now
living in California, says the New York
Mail and Express. Mr.. Kyle was an
eccentric man, a pioneer of the south,
who made all of his money from coal
and iron in the mountains of Tennes-
see. Mrs. Ffouikes is the widow of a
celebrated surgeon of the confederate
army who was one of the dearest
friends that Gen. Lee laid claim to.
When DR.. Ffoulkes went to the front
Mrs. Ffoulkes. then bride, with a
dozen other young women, accompa-
MED him. The brave amazons were in
the midst of the hard fighting for more
than year and frequently tore up
their petticoats to make bandages for
the wounded. Mrs. Ffoulkes was
wounded several times, but nothing
could persuade her to leave her hus-
bands side. The lady is well known
here and many letters of congratula-
ton are being sent to her through her
son. Hst3

anticipated that the hero of this story
would be precipitated, together with
his comrade in danger, to mother earth.
The wheelbarrow. deprived of its check,
hurried onward at terrific pace, down,
down the incline of rope with frightfui
rapidity. The line that had been let
go became entangled in the topmost
branches Of some trees, whittier 1t had
fallen. The worst fears were now en-
tertained. as it appeared evident that
on the line becoming taut Blondin
would be either jerked Off the hawser
or prevented from reaching his des-
tination-the opposite masthead. The
excitement at this stage was painful In
the extreme, every one being as silent
as the grave, the destruction of this
daring fellow being apparent and in
evitable. Blondin, however. remain
ing motionless for short time, like Il
statue In the elements, began to move
slowly backwards; cheer after cheer
arosesfrom the vast concourse at this
movement, and feeling of relief set
tied upon ALL and gave place to ad-
miration at the splendid style in which
he completed his extremely difficult
backward journey. After brief rest
Biondin set out again with Tom Sayers.
and accomplished the feat he had I'M
dertahen without a hitch.

"Liheler Of the Press"


The battle of Cold Harbor is the sub
ject of General Horace Porter's Cam
paigning with Grant" in the current
Century. General Porter relates the
following anecdote in this number:
General Meade had been untiring in
his efforts during this eventful week.
He was General Grants senior by
seven years, was older than any Of the
corps commanders, and was naturally
Of an excitable temperament, and with
the continual annoyanceS to which lie
was subjected he not infrequently be-
came quite irritable. He was greatly
disturbed at this time by some news
paper reports stating that ON the sec
ond night of the battle of the Wilder
ness he had advised a retreat across
the Rapidan; and in talking this mat
ter over with General Grant, his indig-
nation became SO great that his wrath
knew no bounds. He said that the
rumor had been circulated through the
press, and would be believed by many
of the people, and perhaps by the an-
thorities in Washington. Mr.. Dana,
the assistant secretary of war, who was
still with the army, was present at the
interview, and he and General Grant
tried to console Meade by assurances
that the story would not be credited,
and that they would give u broad con-
a despatch to the secretary of war, al
tradiction to it. Mr.. Dana ut once sent
luding to the rumor, and saying: This
is entirely untrue. He has not shown
any weakness of the sort since NOV
ing from Culpeper, nor once intimated
a doubt as to the successful issue of the
campaign.
The secretary replied the next day
June 1O). saying: Please say to Gen
eral Meade that the lying report allud-
cd to in your telegram was not even
for moment believed by the president
or myself We have the most perfect
confidence in him. He could not wish
n more exalted estimation of his abil-
ity, his firmnesS, and every quality OF
commanding general than is enter
tanned for him." The newspaper cor
respondent who had been the author
of this SANDER was seized and placed
on horse. with large placards hung
upon his breast and back bearing the
inscription, "Libeler of the Press" and
drummed out Of camp. There had
never been moment when Meade had
not been in favor Of bold and vigorous
advances, and he would have been the
last man to counsel a retreat.
