Soft Porlr.

The Canadian and some other ex,
pertinent stations have undertaken ex-
perlments to find out what kind oil
treatment makes soft pork or whether
such pork exists only In the reports Of
the merchants that dock the consign-
ments that are sent abroad. There
have been innumerable cases of con-
signments of pork to England and
other countries, where the original
price was decreased by a certain
amount on the plea that the pork was
found to be soft. 1t is suspected that
this is only another way Of turning q
dishonest dollar. 1t is charged by
some of the shippers that feeding on
corn is the cause Of this. II so It is
directly opposed to the general belief
of feeders.

Egg Production.

Doubtless the largest profits from
the farmers poultry yard will always
be those arising from the sale or use
of eggs. The egg is nearly always
cash. II comes nearer to circulating
medium than almost any other thing
the farmer prod .os. The demand for
strictly fresh eggs seems never to be
fully supplied, except In the immediate
locality where the eggs are produced.
The farmer that produces eggs knows
that he can always sell them for cash,
and that usually there is far more
profit in the exchange than is the case
with any kind Of flesh. The produc-
ton of eggs is increasing from year to
year, but not more rapidly than the de-
mand.

MIX for tho Mona.

Milk Is one of the best foods that can
be given to the laying hens, but 1t
should not be sour, nor should 1t re-
main exposed to become distasteful,
says an exchange. We are often asked
II milk cannot be used as u substitute
for meat The fact is, milk 10 superior
to meat, as 1t is q complete food; but
when we realize that meat is concen-
trated, compared with milk, the diff
ficulty Of substituting milk for meat
is plainly seen, for the hens cannot
drink enough Of the milk, there being
about eighty-six per cent Of water In
It. That Is, to derive fourteen pounds
of solid matter from milk the hens
must drink eighty-six pounds Of water
in the milk, which requires quite a
length OF time. Milk should be given
even when meat is fed, as 1t contains
mineral matter, and also because 1t is
more convenient to be obtained than
meat.

Tho Economical Hen.

The hen is an economical adjunct TO
the farm. The horse, the COW and the
sheep arc consumers Of waste products
only to a limited degree, The sheep
may eat weeds, but will not eat grass
hoppers and crickets to any alarming
extent. The feed that is'put into the
cow and the horse has market value,
and this cannot be said Of tho food
consumed by tho hen, The food OF the
latter is exceedingly varied. Weed and
grass seeds abound in every locality
and these she carefully hunts up and
makes into a marketable product. She
Is also q lover of many varieties Of In
sects, some Of which are very destruc-
tive to the plants grown by the farmer.
Moreover, she ia constant visitor TO
the grain field after the crop has been
removed and Is q veritable Ruth In her
cleaning propensities, On many farms
the product from the hen is about all
profit.

Undrained Stables.--Tho evils which
result from lack Of drainage In stables
are sufficiently great to attract the at
tention Of very Indifferent observer.
yet the majority Of farm stables are
built without the slightest provision
for this object. All the liquid manure
which is not absorbed by the bedding
soaks into the soil beneath the build
ing, and, sooner or later, becomes q
source of danger to the health Of the
animals above. The absorbant and de-
odorizing properties Of earth are very
great, and large quantities Of offensive
liquids may be poured into the soil be-
fore It becomes saturated. When the
soil is exposed to the sun and becomes
dried at intervals, 1t preserves Its an
tiseptic and deodorizing properties for
O long period, but where 1t is contln-
ually wet and shaded from the sun, as
beneath the floor Of a stable, the soil
soon loses its deodorizing properties.

made butter appears to be steadily in
creasing in New South Wales, In the
season which ended on March 81 last

weeks ago when cleaning on the reed
ing boards a broken saucer, an axe ana
Ratchet happened to be near, and
looking about to see that no ono was
observing the foolish proceeding, we
proceeded to manufacture some new
tangled grit. Twenty-Five hungry hens
and three ROSTERS stood anxiously
around apparently wondering what all
that meant. The fragments were care
fully spread on the boards, and we
then stood back to SEQ the fowls 80 for

disgust. Then some wheat was scat

was promptly attacked and completely
disposed of, but not 80 tho pounded

The Hon. IGNATIUs DoNNELLY. himself
an orator of long experience, has tried to
fix, and has fixed to his own satisfaction,
the place of the Hon. WILLIAM JENNINGS
BRYAN in the long procession Of public
speakers. At a meeting in st. Paul the
other night "there were loud cries for
'DoNNELLY,' at the close of MI. BRyAN's
speech" cries which should have been
sadly significant to the young travellers
mind of his failure to satisfy his audience.
The Sage of Nininger, however, was loyal.
With no thought of his own glory he
frightened the younger mans thus:
81 did not come here to make a speech. but to en-.
Joy one; and after hearing It I want to say that l
have heard all the great orators OF the English tongue
on both sides OF the Atlantic-GLApsTosE, PARSELI.
BALFoUR, and all OF them-and when compared with
Mr.. BRYAN. they are like the old fashioned single-bar
relied fowling piece compared with a Calling gun"
1t will be observed that to the Hon. IGNA-
THUS DoNNELLY noise seems to be the mas
ter quality of oratory.
The Sage of Nininger, as the author of q
book about the contact of the earth and a
comet, should be a competent Judge of
the eloquence of his distinguished young
friend. Yet his judgment cannot be &C,
copied as final. 1t doesn't appear that he
has yet heard the Hon. PEACH PANTS of

Tho EIcctricity business.

From the Western Electrician.
The manager OF one OF the great electrical compa.
mics being asked to give his views on business he said
1.-THE business for the past year with us has been
Infinitely better In all respects than in the two years
previous. We have sold moro apparatus and have
received promptly our pay therefor. Isolated electric
light plants and local companies are being enlarged
throughout the country. We hardly know OF an cleo.
trio light company that has no: some plan, definitely
or indefinitely formed, for rebuilding its station and
increasing the amount of its apparatus and putting
its properties In better condition. Tho above. OF
course, means q large amount of business for us and
for others. Capital. however. Is much more timid
than II was in 1899. but II the powers that be- in
Washington give the country a rest and do not agi.
tate capital by tarin. financial and other useless legis.
lation. capital will get over its scare. and a large
amount OF IL will be invested in electrical industries
OF every kind and description.
ave have great confidence in the administration
believe that II understands thoroughly what Is best
for the interests of the country, ana that great wis.
dom viii he displayed In giving us . conservative
Government II this be done. then nothing In the
past viii be equal to the development OF the electri.
cal business during the next two or three years"

In course of preparation. Thus q landlord
instead Of paying the whole Of the poor
rate, as he now.does, where = farm IL rated
at less than $50 n year. 10 to pay but half OF
Il, and where the rate exceeds the sum
named he IL TO pay nc part Of It. He Ia
still to be liable, IL seems, for half the
county ~"cess," or county rate, but the fact
that the tenant must pay the other hall
should be q tolerably efficient guarantees
against extravaganza.
Some OF those landowners, who at present
are large cesspayers, insist upon having
absolute protection against waste and inn
providence on the part OF county councils,
and to that end advocate the adoption OF
the system by which In Prussia the mem.
bers Of the Chamber of Deputies are chosen;
that is to say. they would divide the voters
into three categories. each Of which should
select an equal number Of members to the
council, the division to be based on the
amount of county cess paid. The practical
effect Of this would be that In some coun.
ties a few landlords would have as much
power in the councils as would all the
Nationalist voters put together, although
these would constitute a great majority
of the adult male population.
WI do not believe that such a r~eactionary
proposal has any chance Of being adopted;
it would establish a difference, too patent
and odious, between Irish tenants and
English tenants as regards the power Of
local self-government.
