HERE AND THERE.

The profit of the Angora goat lies
in three things-his fleece of mohair,
his meat, and his clearing lands of all
kinds of brush, lrambles, briers, etc.
The average yield of cotton in al
the foreign countries where it is
grown is about 50 pounds of lint cot
ton per acre.
AS many pounds per acre of rice
can be grown as OF wheat. Rice sells
for about two and half times the
price of '. heat per pound.
The largest egg in the world,
which was found buried in sand in
Madagascar is in the city of London.
II measures a foot in length, ard a
ward in circumference, and IS valued
at three hundred dollars.
There is no danger that the rice
market will be overstocked. We can
grow the pearly grain at less cost
than where labor costs only five cents
per day. This is because we work
with machinery.
Poultry authorities contend that
water, except for drinking, is not re-
ouired for ducks. We have raised
ducks successfully exactly that way.
but had better success when the birds
had free Il. cess to a large reservoir.

thence we will get egg records and
other facts that will be entirely reli-
able. Private, unconfirmed records

COLIN RANKIN'S BIG CANOE.
Ten Men Padded the Craft of the
Former Head of tho Hudson's
bay COMPANY.

One of the interesting and pic
tureSque figures in the north country
is Colin Rankin, the retired chief factor
OF the Hudson's Bay company. who for
the last 50 years held sway under he
flag of the great trading corporation
from the MattaWa To .Nbittibi. One
hundred years ago Fort Temiscanning
was established, and for more than a
century it flourished as one Of the inn
portant posts of the Hudson's Bay
company. Fifty years ago the chief
factor (who is now hale. hearty, we'll
preserved and distinguished looking
gentleman, with fine white Dundreary
"hIskers) held court at Temi scanning.
or moved about the lakes and rivers of
the district in lordly state Now he
travels by steamer. Then he had

or steered the birch bark barge when

as he had in them. with good cause,
says the Toronto News.
As the city man calls off the names
Of the streets and public buildings as
he passes Gown TO his shop or oflice, Mr..
Rankin names the bays. headiands and
Islands as the boat passes up or down
the lake. The % miles between
Thornloe and Mattawa is simply a
beaten path for the cd man. who as
boy and man served the great COM
pany in the Temiscanning district.
The large birch bark canoe record
ed was one built for Mr.. Rankin by
the Temiscanning Indians. He sent
instructions from Montreal while Wis
ting there to have new canoe
built, and the men set to work and
constructed one 40 feet long-longer
and handsomer than the governor of
the company himself had-which was
putting on good deal of style for a
subordinate. The capacity of the
canoe for freight was 60 bags of
tiour-almost a load for steam
launch. This giant canoe is now w
ing at Vile Marie, about midway be-
tween Temiscanning station and
Thornloe. An effort was made to get
it to the Pan-American exposition at
Buffalo as a curiosity. but the cost
of freight was too great, and the
project was abandoned.
The eX-chief factor is still an ac-
tive member of the Hudson's Bay
company, and gives great deal Of
his time overseeing their affairs.
Speaking Of tie success Of that cor
poration, he said it was due to its
method of selling for cash. Credit
is the curse of Canada. : said Mr..
Rankin, and he eXpatiated on the idea
at length, proving that there is moth
ing so good for the purchaser as to
be compelled to do without what he
cannot pay for. Although he is in re-
ceipt of pension, and might pend his
latter years in Montreal or Toronto,
Mr.. Rankin will not leave the scene
of his manhood's activity. and conse.
quently resides at Mattawa, making
frequent trips up the lake. He is a
fine sample of the English gentleman

DONT,S FOR GOAT BREEDERS.
Few Practical Suggestions to
Those Who Have Gone Into the
Angora Goat Business.

Don't get too many goats to start
with, anS if you want 20 stay in the
business don't buy wethers and does
mixed, if you can not keep them IN
separate pastures. Don't breed your
does to kid buck just because he is
cheap. Don't have your kids come at
all times in winter, April, or even
Nav, is soon enough. Don't think that
the little red lice which you find on
the goats are essential to a good
growth of mohair. but dip the goats
in some reliable dip; it will knock
the lice and save the goats. Don't
think that because they are fond OF
brush they will fatten when the
shadows of the bushes rest on them,
or when there are plenty of bushes
just across the fence for them to look
at. Don't be afraid to change them
from one pasture to another; the
fresh feed won't hurt them a bit.
Don't get mad if your hired man
leaves the orchard gate open; the
fruit trees won't hurt the goats.
Don't try to keep goats unless you
have perpendicular fences, which
should be at least three feet high, of
any material. Don't believe the man
vino tells you that goats are immune
regarding disease and vermin. Don't
be afraid to invest the price of ten
does, If necessary, in a good buck, at
least yeariing past, and after get
ting Your new buck don't expect him
to rough it through in new climate

A DOCTOR THIS TIME.

Portland, May CDR. E. A. Rose,
a practicing physician, formerly of
Yates Center, Kan, was on what
everyone supposed was his death bed.
He had Diabetes, and six of his brother
doctors were in attendance and con-
sultation at his bedside. They had
done everything that medical skill
could suggest to save his life, but they
were at last reluctantly forced to tell
him that he must prepare for death.
His aunt had been summoned to his
dying bedside. After the doctors had
given her nephew up, she insisted that
as a last resort, he be given treat
ment of Dodd's Kidney Pills.
From the very first dose, the tide
turned in his favor. His life was saved,
and he is hale and hearty to-day.
This case and its cure has amazed
the physicians, and is the sensa ton of
the hour. 1t is interesting to note
that while many others are being
cured by this great discovery in medi-
cine, the physicians themselves are
among the first to benefit, and that
while the simpler and more prevalent
forms, such as Rheumatism, Sciatica,
Bladder and Urinary Trouble and Fe-
male Weakness disappear before it,
the more malignant forms, such as
Bright's Disease, Diabetes and Dropsy,
which have always been regarded as
incurable, are yielding just as easily.
Dodd's Kidney Pills are fast super
seding all other treatments for Kidney
Disease, and as nearly all human sick
ness and suffering has it's origin in the
Kidneys, the use of this wonderful
medicine is becoming almost universal.

Second Growth Kafffr Corn

The question of danger to cattle
from eating second-growth Kaffir corn
recently came before a Minnesota
court. The defendant was pasturing
cattle belonging to the plaintiff, and
removed them to a field where the wa
ter was better. In this field was an
acre of second-growth Kaffir, of which
the cattle ate and 80 died. Suit was
brought on charge of carelessness and
want o. proper knowledge Of the ma
ture of the corn. The case was stub
bornly contested. The jury had to con-
slider whether the poisonous nature
was generally conceded, and whether
it was matter of common knowledge:
decision was for defendant. 1t ap-
pears to be true that cattle have eaten
second-growth many times and not
been hurt, and again have eaten it and
died. The cause appears to be un-
known.-Country Gentleman.
