We announced recently the organic alton

tective Association, and gave the list of of.
hcers elected. A large number have become
members OF the association, and it is assur
ed that the excellent bass and pickerel

The POULTRY BUSINESS. The farmers
institute in Belfast last Thursday indicated
growing interest in the poultry business.
and that farmers are charging their t,ools
and adopting modern methods of caring for
them. Many are enlarging their poultry
houses or building new ones, and there are
numerous incubatOrs and breeders on the
farms in this vicinity. For some time ma ST
there has been noticeable Improvement in
the quality Of the eggs and poultry brought
, to the local markets, the farmers realizing
that better prices are obtained for fresh
eggs and nicely dressed poultry Prof.
Gowell in his address, report of which

Der of valuable suggestions, which local

| While The Journal is ready, as i'm the
past, to publish gratuitously notices of local
| interest concerning churches, charitable
| associations, societies, ETC., we shall be
sent to the office earlier than has been the
| custom of late. Wednesday, the day The
| journal goes to press, the local news and
| local advertising must have the preference,
and those who are dilatory in bringing in
announcements they wish published must
suffer the consequences of their own neg
| lect The sooner all matter intended for
publication is handed in, the better If it
is ready to-day send it in do not wait I'M
| til next Wednesday. Then. the notices
should be written as they are to appear in
print; and not, as is often the case, sent in
i'll such shape as to require rewriting be
fore they can be given to the compositor
AS the outcome of long suffering we trust
these suggestions will be needed,
