A FAMOUS OLD HOUSE.

The house of Walter Baker 6, Co.
whose manufactures of cocoa and
chocolate have become familiar in the
mouth as household words, was es-
tablished one hundred and twenty
one years ago Q76O) on the Nepon-
set River in the old town of Dorches-
ter, a suburb of Boston. From the
little wooden mill, ''by the rude
bridge that arched the flood where
the enterprise was first started, there
has grown up the largest industrial
establishment of the kind in the
world. 1t might be said that, while
other manufacturers come and go,
Waller Baker & Co. go on forever.
What is the secret of their great
success? 1t is a very simple one.
They have won and held the conf
dence of the great and constantly in
creasing body of consumers by al
ways maintaining the highest stand
ard in the quality of their cocoa and
chocolate preparations, and selling
them at the lowest price for which
unadulterated articles of good quail
ity can be put upon the market. They
welcome honest competition; but they
feel justified in denouncing in the
strongest terms the fraudulent meth
DDS by which inferior preparations
are palmed off on customers who ask
for and suppose they are getting the
genuine articles. The best grocers
refuse to handle such goods, not alone
for the reason that, in the long run,
it doesn't pay to do it, but because
their sense of fair dealing will not
permit them to aid in the sale of
goods that defraud their customers
and injure honest manufacturers.
Every package of the goods made
by the Walter Baker Company bears
the well-known trademark la Belle
Chocolatiere," and their place of man

keepers are advised to examine their
purchases, and make sure that other
goods have not been substituted.

Dpmpness Causes Many Ills.

Protection from dampness is of the
greatest Importance. More injury
comes to chicks from dampness than
from all else besides. If they can
find a dry spot for their feet dur
ing the day and warm, dry place
to stay in at night, they will do fair
ly well, even during a long wet
period, after they are three or four
weeks old. Small chicks suffer very
much during wet weather, and should
be protected from both wet and
dampness. Cold and dampness pro-
duce colds and bowel trouble, either
of which is very disastrous to brood
of chicks. During wet weather it is
not amiss to tie small piece of gum
camphor with a small stone in a
piece of cloth, and put in their drink
ing water. 1t is one of the best SIM
pie remedies for colds.-Country Cen

in her heart that she could put on

said to her sister. after Lucy had

''She won't get tired sewing much

She was bending the branches over,

objects upon which bird may light.
No bait is needed. The trap is simply
opened on top of the pole, where the
bird sets it off and is caught in the act
of alighting, a. OF course the trap
must be firmly secured to the pole.
The device is based on the principle
that birds of prey habitually light on
prominent objects in large open
spaces. where they will have a good
outlook for game. A trap well placed
will, during one season, catch all the
hawks within a radius of several
miles. Owls and other large birds are
also frequently found in the trap. The
longer and the more substantial the
pole, the better it is.-Orange Judd

The best method to follow for the
smaller breeds is to teach them to go
upon a roost as soon as they are old
enough. Place roost in their coop
as soon as they are old enough to leave
the hen or brooder, so that they will
learn the habit of roosting, as it keeps
theirle legs in better shape as to smooth
ness and color. This will not do so
we'll for larger fowls, as they are so
heavy and clumsy that it is not of ben
eft to them, for the reason that it
often bends their breastbone out of
shape. The best plan for them during
the summer is in open sheds upon
clean sand, protected from all rowing
animals by wire cloth fronts to the
sheds. These sheds or runs should be
cleaned up every morning and raked
over so as to keep them clean and
sweet.-Country Gentleman.

WHAT WE HEAR FROM ASSINI-
BOIA, WESTERN CANADA.


TO the Editor:
The above is the emphatic man
ner in which a friend in York
ton writes to a friend near st. Paul,
Minnesota, and it is pretty nearly
right, too, when the advantages
that Western Canada offer to those
seeking homes. The Assiniboia dis
trict is one of the best. The writer
from whose letter we quote goes on to
say:
John, if you miss this chance you
are foolish, for you can get out cheap
er when there are so many coming,
and l would not tell you to come if
thought you could not do well, and if
you don't come in the spring you will
have to go away back, for you do not
want to think that there is no one liv-
irg out here but us. l saw nicer build
ings out here than I ever saw before,
and if the country was no good what
would they want them for? John, if
you sold everything you have and
come out here you would be worth
more than ever you were before, and if
you can bring your team, you can get
anything you want on tick, and when
they dc that with strangers they are
not afraid they can't make enough to
pay for it. l saw as nice wheat as L
ever saw in my life and if they could
not grow grain what would the -four
mill be for, and it cost $4,000
Now this was what Mr.. Thomas
Fitzpatrick, of Yorkton, Assiniboia,
Western Canada, wrote to a friend.
There will be opened up this summer
new districts in Saskatchewan and
Assiniboia, at low prices, particulars
of which can be had of any agent of
the Government of the Dominion of
Canada, whose advertisement appears
elsewhere in the columns of your pa

ABOUT YOUNG TURKEYS.
Should Be Forced Forward ms Much
as Possible Immediately After
the Matching.

For the first food give some finely
cut onion-tops mixed with hard
boiled eggs, and crushed wheat or
breadcrumbs. Finely chopped onion
tops are always relished. The young
turkeys are keen on picking out from
their diet those articles which they
most prefer. Stale bread and curds
are accepted. Dampness, whether
from rain, dew or from any other
cause, is fatal to very young tur-
keys. In a few weeks the diet may
consist mostly of grain and varie-
ty. In addition it is a good plan
to tie up a vegetable of some sort
just so high that the birds must
stand well up to pick at it. This
is good food, and the exercise is
beneficial. Where grain is grown the
birds as they come on should be
given the run of the stubble-felds.
where they will pick up much food
for themselves. a point in feeding
young turkeys is to give them food
four or five times a day-all they will
eat-but clean away that which is I'M
eaten, as 1T may ferment and injure
them. a little millet-seed may be
scattered for them to seek, and they

Did China Have a Noah2

A London paper has discovered Chi nese picture that represents-or is SUD- posed to represent-Noah's ark resting on the top of Mount Ararat. The picture is of great antiquity. AS is we'll known, the religious literature of almost every nation and race contains an account of a deluge, but a Chinese manuscript, recently unearthed, follows very close ly the story as recorded in the Bible
 It Is particularly interesting in that the roof of the Chinese ark is of the gable variety associated with the Noah's arks which prove such enter taining toys for our youngsters. The Chinese picture, however, shows a double-storied vessel, and, so far from there being only one window in the roof. there are windows in every possi- ble space.

Value of the Apple Crop.

Wheat is a great crop in the United States, but there are several others that beat it in value, and among them is the apple crop. AS nearly as statistics can give it, the apple crop of 1900 was 215,- 100000 barrels, and $2 a barrel is fairly moderate average to put upon them. That would yield S43O, O,OOO,OO or 50 per cent more than the wheat crop, which was rated at a little more than $300,O00,00O. America exported 100000 barrels of apples last year, and as they learn to care for apples as they do for other fruit they will export still more. Apples selected for quality, size and soundness, carefully wrapped in paper, as oranges are, and boxed like that fruit, will bring fancy prices when apples are scarce and will prove as pay ing an investment as any fruit that can be put up. Abroad. all over Flu rope, American apples bring $4 a bar rel when they are selling here at $2, and, of course, they retail for a very much larger sum. Orchard owners in this country have just begun to learn what may be done in the apple way.
