To preserve perishable articles in bot

nozzle through which air is exhausted
from the bottle. with a tube loosely fixed

drops as 500 as the exhaustion of air
is completed and seals the bottle.
In a new sCrubbing brush the handle
is made hollow to hold water. which

before taking up their home there visited
the country as delegates. They reported
to the Government of the Dominion of
Canada the result of their observations,
and from this report extracts have been
taken, which are published below:
I'VE have visited a number of most desir-
able locations, and are highly pleased with
the country as d whole, it being beyond our
highest expectations. We find here a pros
porous and ~well-contented lot of people.
They have comfortable homes, and their
vast fields of wheat and other crops in add
ton to their herds of choice cattle, indicate
prosperity in the full sense of the word. In
conversation with the farmers throughout
our trip we learned hat the majority OF
them came here with very limited means,
and some with no more than enough to
bring them here, and they are now well-to-
do. They all claim that this is the only cOun-
try for a poor man, or one with little means,
to get a start and make a home for himself
and family. As you are aware, We were a
little shakv and undecided before leaving
Detroit, but have determined since that We,
with our friends, will make this country our
future home. 1t is far from being the wilder
ness we had pictured it to he; it is. instead,
a land having all the facilities required by
modern civilization, such as railroads., mar
kets, stores, churches, schools, etc, In fact,
an ideal home for those having the future
welfare of themselves and families at h%eaIt.'
The Messrs. Striovski selected the Ala
media district, but what they say of it appeals
in a general way to most other districts in
that vast country. They speak of the fuel,
which is to be had in great quantities, of the
water that can be had by digging from 10 10
20 feet, and of the good grazing land to be
had almost everywhere. There is plenty of
wood for building timber anu for fuel, while
coal is convenient. and sells at low prices at
the mines. In driving through the country
they passed many fine patches OF wild rasp-
berries, and say they can speak highly of
their flavor, as they could not resist the
temptation to stop and eat.

able space. | shall defer further reference to
Western Canada for another issue. An

Department of the Interior, Ottawa. Can

This keeps the sitting hen on and others
off: Nests are made separate, and
should be 16 inches square and IL inches
high. They are placed on the south
side of the inside of the house under
the windows. 4 board Il inches off the
floor is placed over the nests. This
gives plenty of room for light and
ventilation.
Windows, f. E, E, are placed OIL the
south side; f shows steps to upper
floor. Ground floor or range room is
shown at g.. It should be boarded on all
except the south SIDE, which should be
closed with netting. There should be a
board with cleats or steps on it (the
board not shown in illustration) lead
ing from the lower to the upper floor,
and a door made through the floor, to
be closed on cold nights. This lower
room is used in cold and wet weather
for a range room and should Ia plen-

else in while getting the grain that is
fed to them. There should be a dust
box with good sharp grit. This room
may be used to keep little chickens in
in the early spring, wet or bad weather
or dewy mornings.
In building this house it is no neces-
sary to use costly materials, but it
should be made tight SO as to prevent
cold drafts. a good plan is to line the
inside with tarred or building paper.
A house of this kind will cost more than
a plain one or a shed, but as uncleanli-
ness is a breeder of disease and taking
into consideration how easily this
house may be kept clean it is really the
cheapest house. Most cholera COM
plants are caused by unhealthy, filthy
quarters and lice and mites combined

the stamina and vigor of the stock,
diarrhea sets in and the chickens die. !

building a house easily kept clean and
giving our birds better care we are not
troubled with the cholera. Lice and
mites may be kept down by using coal
oil and carbolic acid on the roosts and
whitewashing the building thoroughly.
If the mites get on the chickens very

NOTES FOR BEEKEEPERS.

Adjusting boards should be used in
hives of all weak stocks.
Colonies having defective queens are
always the foundation of trouble.
Colonies selected for breeding should
contain a good supply of drone comb.
Little wooden troughs holding about
a pint of sirup are good for feeding
bees.
The supply of drones depends entire
" on the amount of drone comb fur
pished.
Colonies selected for breeders should
be pushed by early feeding to their ut
most limit.
Do not feed in the morning, as it
tends to cause robbing and to make the
bees restless.
1t is just as necessary to select for
the production of drones as for the pro-
duction of queens.
Pollen is always stored in or near the
brood nest, and here is the place where
the bees will cluster.
Bees are not apt to attach comb tc
cloth, so cloth divisions between
frames serve as a guide.
Queen cells should never be retained
in any colony except one that is in 8
natural, healthy condition.
Be sure that the entCSSees to the
hives are kept open. The bees a
good, fresh air to breathe.
Confine eaoh colony to only as many
combs as the bees can conveniently
cover, giving more combs as needed.
Empty combs are valuable and should
receive the best of care; if this is given,
they can be made to last several years,
If any of the colonies are short OF
stores, give them candy; it can be laid
on topo of the frames above the cluster.
Now is a good time to make up a sur
plus of hives, so as to have them ready

An OLD War-Horse of journalism Dis
covers the Virtue of a New
Medicinal Variety.

1ucIc dIc OnlN d lew VI llSIH lclI.
Since Chas. A. Dana's death, Joseph Me-
dill, the war-horse of the Chicago Tribune.
Is the chief surviving representative OF the
old school OF vlrlle, aggressive editorial
giants.
To have mud thrown at them was part of
the profession at al times, but TO find health
in mud is rather a modern innovation. That
is what Joseph Medill has been doing GS
late.
Mr.. Mediil is an investigator and when
the stories of the miraculous Magno-Mud at
Indiana Mineral Springs began to spread
over the country, the great editor became
interested and eventually decided to try tins
mysterious substance on his own rheumatic
limbs and weigh its value. He was accom-
panied by his private physician, a young
Armenian scientist of high attainments.
The great editor was mud mnmmItied daily
for several weeks and gained vlsIbly in
weight, strength and vitality.
The hual result of the experiment was an
unqualified success. Mr.. Medill went
back to Chicago in September, and wrote an
editorial about Magno-Mud with his own
hand. Next, he sent his son-in-law for a
little of the mud-treatment. In November
he went down again, and since the new
bath house is completed he expects to be a
regular visitor four times a year.
This mud-treatment in which Mr.. Medill
found so much virtue, is peculiar, yet logical.
Alter ali, every 10TH u lie springs iiOh Tie
earth, which is the great destroyer and aSsim-
ilator of dead and effete matter. At the
Indiana Mineral Springs is a beautiful little
natural amphitheatre, the slopes being
grown with magnificent oaks. At the foot of
the converging hills, a big Lithia spring
gushes forth at the rate of 1900 barrels a day
and floods the soil, which consists OF a rich.
black porous loan, fed by the deciduous
foliage of the oak trees. This peculiar soil
saturated with mineral salts for ages, is as
soluble as sugar, and being devoid of clay is
not sticky in the least. 1t is not, therefore.
in any sense related to the conventional mud
of the roadway. of the Chicago street or to
the variety which clings to your heels.
The mud is applied to the patient on a cot.
the subject being entirely encased in the
substance. steamed to a proper temperature.
1t then acts as a p%oultice. stimulates the
skin. superficial blood vessels and nerves.
opens the pores and Initiates the blood. dis
solving all uric acid deposits. Nothing can
be simpler or more rational.
