Less Cheese In Canada.

At meeting of the Montreal Dairy
and Cheese association a resolution
was adopted authorizing circular to
the dairymen of Canada strongly ad-
vising them to turn their attention to
butter more generally and to discontin-
ue the manufacture of cheese entire
each year after Nov. 1. The reasons for
this course are that fodder cheese on
the market reduces consumption, and
1T is only grass goods that are of a
quality sufficient to increase demand:
that the consumption Of cheese is d.
minishing, while that of superior
creamery butter is increasing; that the
price of butter is higher on an average
all the year round than that of cheese:
that the manufacture of butter is more
profitable than cheese. These are all
good reasons why the Canadian dairy
men should make less cheese and more
butter.

STRICKEN WITH PARALYSIS,

Henderson Grimett, of this place,
was stricken with partial paralysis
and completely lost the use of one
arm and side. After being treated by
an eminent physician for quite a
while without relief, my wife recon-
mended Chamberlain's Pain Balm,
and after using two bottles of it he is
almost entirely cured.-GEo. R. Nc

think the glass should not lap to ex-
ceed one-fourth of an inch, as it soon
causes a dark strip to shut out the
light. Indeed about half the sash we
are now using is not Tapped at all, but
butted end to end. These are fully as
tight and can be set faster. When put
in in this manner, the end of each light
should be dipped into a thin layer Of
thick white paint, then placed solidly
against the light above in the sash.
The only objection to this method is
that 1t is more work to repair break
perfectly. We have sashes set in this
manner which have been in use seven
years and are tight and satisfactory.
When glass is bedded and partly
dried, then paint along the edge on the
upper side with rather thick white
paint and allow the sash to lie fiat till
dry. Sash set in this manner will long
outlast any set with putty, and think
no one would putty in glass after one

Coming Into Notice - Valuable In
Breeding Special Strains.
The trap nest has been in use to a
limited extent for at least thirty years,
but it is only within the last three
years that it has come into general
notice through the claims of several
inventors Of devices to determine the
number Of eggs laid by individual
fowls.
Some Of the objects have been to
save the eggs of individuals from spe-
cial mating pens. to select the best lay
ers, to detect the nonlaying fowls and
those that lay but few eggs and to as
certain the characteristics of the eggs
from certain fowls
1t is favorite device with the man
who has desire to build up strain
Of phenomenal layers, even if by so
doing he weakens the stock.
Experiments were undertaken at the
Rhode Island station last year with a
view to testing the numerous, and in
some cases rather expensive, contriv-
ances offered to poultrymen in the

TYPICAL SOUTH AFRICAN

o R. Larson, of Bay Villa, Sundays

typical of South Africa, at which can
be purchased anything from the pro-
verbal "needIo to an anchoir." This
store is situated in valley nine
miles from the nearest railway sta
ton and about twenty-five miles from
the nearest town. Mr.. Larson says:
" am favored with the custom of
farmers within a radius of thirty
miles, to many of whom I have sup
piled Chamberlain,s remedies. All
testify to their value in household
where DOCTORS advice is almost out

yet inexpensive apparatus would be
found which any poultryman could
make or have made. Director Brigham
says that, curiously enough, some OF
the most ingenious and interesting in
ventions for outwitting the laying hen
were evolved by persons who evidently
had never kept hens" The Cheap

college carpenter out of an orange box,
has proved one of the best contriv-
ances. The interested poultryman is
at liberty to use the same and to i'm
prove upon it to the fullest extent
There is no danger of infringement Of

trap nest in following q course of line

tionable.

A Unique Advertising Dodge.

ton of being the only store in the
world that made a practice of closing
up every Tuesday in the year, as well
as every Sunday, has just abandoned

why this was, the shopkeeper smiled
q weary smile and said:
"Well you see, as an advertising
dodge it had about performed its mis-
sion, and as 1t was costing me $4,000
a year at least to make this voluntary
sacrifice Of one business day each week
for the purpose of making people talk
and wonder, I decided to take in the
sign and reuHain open Tuesdays.
every day a dozen or more persons
would stop in just to ask for an ex-
PLANTATION of this strange closing. I
told them that as / made a practice of
keeping open all day Saturday while
other stores around me closed at noon,
] thought it no more than right to
give my clerks a full rest day besides
Sunday. This seemed to satisfy them,
and so I got the name of being quite a
philanthropist in my way. I noticed,
too, that about eight persons in ten
