NOT 4 SHINING SUCCESS.

Some things haven't worked in Aus work. Steamers are leaving Australian ports with full passenger lists. The Canada and even for England, Scotland and Ireland. According to official re- ports. no fewer than 16,S27 such per- sons left the ports of New South Wales alone during the six months last past. These people are no mere birds of pas sage. They are mostly of class who have been born or long settled in Aus tralia. many being steady, competent tradesnen. and the rest master crafts men, pastoralists, farmers and station hands. In New South Wales the popu- lation during the decade 1S91-19O1 re- mained almost stationary, while during the two past years it has shown a marked decline.
 This loss of population and depressed industrial and social conditions are at tributed to certain political phases which Australian patriots are violent in conforming. The government of Aus tralia is imbued with the socialist labor policy. Many industrial enterprises are carried on by the state. Even the man. fracture of wire netting is likely soon to be placed on the list of state indus tries All these state institutions are run solely in the interest of the worker. One by one private factories and stores have been driven out of business, and yearly this condition is getting worse. The non-unionist under this order of things has no place in Australia. The industrial arbitration court and the wages boards refuse to recognize his ex- istenee. So he must either join a trade union or starve.

Before long the rules governing the bestowal of the Victoria Cross will be altered. It has long been felt in Eng land that the cross should be awarded not so much for an act of bravery in saving an individual life as for an act Of bravery benefting the nation, or the particular fighting section of it to which the individual belongs. The amend ment of the rules will be based on this wider interpretation of an act of brav- cry.

A curious feature connected with the Servian army is the manner in which most of the regiments carry the big drum. It is not, as in most countries, slang in front of the man who plays it, but is placed upon small two-wheeled cart drawn by single dog, which has been so trained that it keeps it's place even through the longest and most tedi- ous of marches. The drummer takes up position behind the cart and per- forms on the instrument as the animal pulls it along.

Congressman Goulden, of New York, has introduced an important bill in congress. It amends the naturalization laws by requiring court records to be produced and Identification made abso- lute before the issuance of final papers to an alien. A penalty of $500 fine or not less than six months imprisonment, or both, is provided for persons selling naturalization papers. Mr. Goulden's bill was prepared at the instance of the United States district grand jury of New York, and has received, he says. the approval of Attorney General Knox. Mir. Goulden says District At torney Burnett, of New York, claims that one agency in that city sold four thousand and another two thousand naturalization papers last year, and there is no question that tens of thou sands of illegal naturalizations are is- sued each year in all sections of the country
 E. K. Whitehead, superintendent of a humane society in Colorado, recently read a paper in which he described the sufferings of cattle on the plains in cold weather. For weeks or months at a time these animals go without other food than that which can be found un- der the snow. The latter is often so deep that death results from hunger alone. Owing to exposure to extremely low temperatures, moreover, there is also heavy loss of life from freezing.

STEEL IS USED

however, result beneficially, as they

Il ially to the discovery Of crushed

Dorkings.

This English bird is one which
may be considered an ideal bird
for general purposes. 1t is a
hardy fowl and can stand almost
any amount of cold weather,
providing the ground is not
damp. This is proved by the
fact that they do we'll in the
northern part of Scotland and in
the extreme north of Ireland,
among the Cum berland Hills,
and in other places equally as
cold and exposed. This should
be remem bered by these who
contemplate raising them, that
the soil must not be damp if sue
cess is expected with them. The
Dorkiug is one of the oldest of
domestic fowls, if not the oldest.
There are no definite records to
show when it first lived in Eng
land, or whence it came, but the
supposition is that it was carried
to England by the Romans, who
evidently possessed fowls of sim
liar characteristics. The chief

The Moulting Period.

The moulting season is rather
a trying time on fowls and those
who have little extra care, feed
and attention at that time will be
in better shape to do their own
ers good and profitable service.
One Of the most important
things at this time is the feed.
FIrst,a proper food that will
assist the fowls in throwing off
the old feathers; Their a food hav-
ing the necessary ingredients
for growing new ones.
Early moulting is always de-
sirable, as it means the early
production OF winter eggs. But
the writer is opposed to forced
moulting, !. e. causing a bird to
moult months before nature, left
alone. would make the demand
on it.
An extra good feed tor moult-
ing fowls can be prepared by
steaming, over night, a mixture
of equal parts of corn meal, wheat
bran, wheat middlings and
crushed or ground oats. Three
or four big doses of sulphur
placed in this mixture each week
will be found very beneficial,
both in feather growing, and in
aiding in keeping the fowls in
healthy and vigorous condition.
Give your fowls good dry
roosting quarters especially so,
when they are moulting, damp
quarters are, at such times es-
pecially dangerous and often
fatal to the inmates. Losing
valuable fowls through the
weakening process of moultiug
is not at all. necessary, and can
be avoided by a little care and
attention, as above indicated
