OF all the different crosses made with
the heavy draft sire on our native
mares that of the Clyde gives the least
satisfaction. The cross, as we have
noted it, results in an ornery, hairy
legged, clumsy animal. good enough for
a serviceable pillow horse, but sight to
behold when hitcbed to a buggy or car
mage. The Shire and Percheron cross
es are productive of many handsome
horses.

1t is rare thing today to get hold of

that the packing house stock is not
smoked for ten days over green

that's all.

POULTRY MONEY.

The farmers wife who only realizes
about $50 or $50 out of her poultry each
season is not living up to her opportuni-
ties by long shot She should take a
day off and visit her neighbor who is
making from SITS to $3.50 out of the
poultry which may easily be kept on
the average farm. Now, $500 is a nice
little wad Of pin money. sometimes as
much as the old man will make on a
large field Of oats or corn. 1t will do a
lot toward fixing things nice in the
home, help give the boy and girl lift
at their schooling, put some nice papers
and periodicals in tke house and justify
the woman who does it in wearing
three five dollar plumes in her Sunday
hat IL she wants to. And right here we
want to say that this poultry money
should belong exclusively to the WON
an, and none of 1t should go to pay to-
bacco and blacksmith bills, taxes or in
surance premiums. Every wise girl
who marries farmer will see that she
is promised the poultry money before
the parson gets In his work

One need not expect to do much in

I'm Choral club last Monday even
III ing in the guild hall Christ
church, the question of whether
or not the. club should present The
Efessiah. this year, was considered and
the active members announced their
Willingness, their eagerness, indeed, to
sing in the great oratorio. So it is
stillsan open question. 1t. is possible
that the matter will be settled one. way
or the other al. the rehearsal, tomorrow
evening There is strong sentiment
entertained blythe active members of
2 the club that if the Christmas oratorio
is given at all it should be given by the.
musical Organization whose name is
closely associated in this city with
oratorio work. They declare that it
would be.a mistake for the club to per-
nit its being given by any one else.
But some of the members, and these
include some of the officers of the club,
are unwilling that it should assume
the additional expense of arranging for
this. concert. The engaging of the four
soloists would mean the expenditure OF
considerable money, though since it is
probable that the Minneapolis club will
also give the oratorio, cooperation
would somewhat lessen this expense.
