Blood Meal.

The use OF blood meal as a poultry
food has received much comment OF
late. but experience does not seem to
be all one way. Recently the Farm
ers' Review asked some of its readers
to give an expression of their opinions
as to its value as a poultry food. From
the replies received one is naturally OF
the impression that blood meal is not
used very extensively as yet. We pub
lish the following:
d. d. Gilman, Vermillion county, Ill
inois.-Blood meal is all right II not
fed too heavily. Most people overlook
the fact that 1t is very rich and there
fore feed too much for good results.

great extent, but what experience

ably with it as a convenient and use
full form of animal food for poultry.
w. c. Mother, Ford County, Illinois.
Il have had no experience with blood
meal. The only meals that | have
used are beef meal and concentrated
meal. How my young stock would
thrive without it / do not know, as

food for making hens lay, and my

HlGAt In Shaen

When sheep are hrst turned out on
clover pasture, particularly il it is
damp with rain or dew, or on rape,
there is likely to be some trouble with
bloating, and the first thing he knows
the farmer may have fifteen or twenty
sheep in a condition that demands inn
mediate attention. Our manager was
caught in that shape last year for the
first time. says a contributor to Wal
lace's Farmer. He relieved about
twelve out of fifteen by making a bit
out of limb OF a tree, tying string
to each end, pulling it as far back in
the mouth as possible. and tying it
tight over the sleeps head. 1t was not
very comfortable for the sheep. but
life is sweet even to a sheep and it
can well afford to have a little un-
pleasant jaw exercise in order to re-
lieve the stomach from a too luxurious
banquet. 1t is postprandial exercise
nary sheep as 1t is to the after dinner
orator bloated with viands which law
exercise is needed to relieve, but after
all it saves the sleeps life, and The
end of the sheep being to live until It's
time comes and then to die to the
profit of its owner, it is the thing 10
do. We do not know how puncturing
as in the case of cattle would work,
but If taken in time and done properly
this will work. and we do not care
to suggest any other method of relief
at present, and the more so because we
do not care to suggest anything to
the busy farmer that he can not put
into practice Immediately.

WESTERN CANADA rs ALL
RIGHT.

Delegates representing number OF
neighboring farmers in Clay county,
Mimi, who visited the Edmonton dis
trict OF western Canada last summer
are evidently very well satisfied with
the result of their trip. They think SO
well of the country that, in addition to
the privilege of obtaining free home
stead of 160 acres of land, they have
also purchased land. In recent inter
view on the subject, Messrs. c. E. and
A. Hughes, of Barnesville, Clay county,
say:
"We are well pleased with western
Canada. 1t is far ahead of what we
expected. AS for the crops, we have
never seen anything that can compete
with them. We have lived in Mime
sofa and have farmed some of what
they count the best lands in the Red
River valley for ten years, and have
done very well in that part of the
country, and have farms there at pres
ent free of all encumbrance, but be-
lieve that this country (western Can
aGa) is so much better that we Lave
bought from the Canadian Pacific Rail-
way company one section of land
Hill district We have Travelled through
that part of the country, and have seen
the grain in the granaries and the
amount of land that it was taken off,
and find that they have grown as much
as so bushels and over to the acre, and
they say that this has not been good
year, and very little if any grain has
been touched by the frost. Hay seems
to be plentiful, and if you wish to put
up log buildings you can get the logs
within few miles. Coal can be had al
the mines for rs cents per ton, or you
can dig it yourself. Nearly all kinds
of garden truck can be grown in abun
dance. We find everything that can be
grown in good demand. The farmers
tell US that they can get four and
half live weight per hundred for hogs, |
and for three-year-old steers from $50 |
to $50 per head, providing they are
good. We will move into that part of |
the country next summer. All the peo-
pie in that part of the country seem sat
isfied, and we do not see any reason
why they should not be So"
Messrs. Hughes also stated that they
would be very glad to afford anyone de-
string particulars about the country
hey had visited the fullest informa-
ion, on receiving inquiries at Barnes
lille, Clay county, before the first of
June next, when it is understood they
propose to return to the Edmonton dis
rict.

the case was even worse, for open fires

PRINCESS GOWNS.
Cut and style of the Latest
v Costumes.

OF recent years the princess has beer
relegated for support to dowager dig
nifty, or to the teagown luxuriousnesi
OF the elegante. Such being the case
it has been natural to expect TO finG
1t only In rich, stately materials, such
as velvet, heavy silk or brocade.
Now that the princess is the fashion
for young and old, for morning, after.
noon and evening, for the street, the
dinner table, the ballroom, its require.
ments are altogether different. On
youthful figures it is built of taffeta
surah, foulard, cashmere, guipure,
muslin. crepe de chine; of cloths and
velvets and furs for the street and for
more matronly figures, in fact, it is
built successfully of any one of the
fashionable materials of the winter,
and not only built, but already being
worn by the mondaines of Paris and
London, although yet to a slight de
gree only in New York, proverbially a
season behind her sister cities across
the water.
If it is the weight Of the rich ma
terials that the detractors of the prin-
cess claim is necessary, and not the
suitability, one can but say that the fit
of the gown depends solely upon the
,boned silken or satin lining; the out
side may then be as sheer as the gown
de5igner pleases.
A princess tunic of nut brown cloth,

THE DATE LINE.
We Are Told Here Why 1t Was Placed
in the Pacific and Why
1t Is Crooked.

mapmaker asks the Sun if the date
line, or the imaginary line drawn tC
mark the change in the calendar day re
! qured of circumnavigators of the
globe, follows the one hundred and
eightieth meridian. He adds that he
has been unable to find the date line
on any map.
The date line does not follow the one
hundred and eightieth or any other me-
ridian for its entire course, but takes
a somewhat devious route through the
! Pacific. 1t is strange that it is shown
on so very few maps of the world. The
reason why crooked course was given
to it and why it was placed in the Pa
citic are interesting and easily under
stood.
Suppose the date line had been run
through our country on the meridian
of Chicago. In that case. when ii was
Monday in New York. Cleveland and
indianapolis. it would be Tuesday all
the way from Chicago to San Francis
co and out on the Pacific. OF course
that would be a serious business in
convenience 1t is evident that the
date line should not pass through any
continents. 1t was practically a neces-
sity that such a line had to be fixed
somewhere, but it obviously had to run
through an ocean.
1t should not pass through the At
lantic ocean. because in that case, when
ii was Monday in London. Paris and
Hamburg il would be Tuesday in the
United States; and this would be in
convenient in regions that have such
enormous interests in common and are
so closely united by telegraph and
cables. The best place for the date
line was in the Pacific ocean. If we
follow the line through the Pacific we
shall observe that the ideas above ex-
pressed have had due weight in mark
ing its course.
Passing through the middle of Behr-
ing strait the line suddenly turns to
the southwest till it reaches 40 de-
grees east longitude. In this way
Behring island and the entire Aleutian
chain, all part of North America. are
kept on the American side of the line
When il is Monday in New York it is
also Monday in Attu. our most west
ern American possession.
Then the line sweeps eastward again
and follows the one hundred and eigh-
tieth meridian far south till it reaches
the neighborhood of the Fiji islands.
As this group and other islands round
about belong to Great Britain, and are
closely united in business relations
with New Zealand and Australia, the
line takes wide sweep to the east SO
as to give them all the same calendar
day. 1t then returns to the one hun
dred and eightieth meridian, which ii
follows to the Antarctic.
The annexation of the Philippines,
which lie 60 degrees beyond the one
and eightieth meridian going |
west, makes it incumbent on all Amer
