worth mentioning.
When the family whom Micawber
had honored with his presence moved
away to a distant city it was with
sincere regret that they were forced
to leave him behind. As the house stood
vacant for a time he again became a
wanderer on the face of the earth, a
tramp, a stray, a vagabond. SO once
more he began c%arousing II disturb
ing the neighborhood. He had a per-
ernial appetite that never was appeas-
ed, q craving that never was filled.
Micawber was a handsome cat and
valiant withal, and among he monde
script felines of all colors and no color
to speak of he shone Respondent in a
tabby coat, striped like q tiger. He had
now reached an age when any well

haps it was n sense of his unregenerate
condition that caused him to cast about
for another home. During his wander
ings he stopped at a barn and a farmer
gave him milk fresh from the cow.
There were three dogs on the place,
and Micawber did not stay.
One winters day he especially felt
the need of Il new life. Perhaps it was
because he was cold; also hungry. 1t
seemed to him that he was always hun

animated void, an incarnate longing.

GOOD SHELL MATERIAL.
Where Production of Eggs Is Large
Much Lime Must Be Pro-
vided.

A great many of our people forget
that the modern hen produces several
times as many eggs as the ancient
hen that was the progenitor of the
one we now have. That hen laid
80 or 40 eggs year and had no trou-
BILE to find the lime in the natural
food. But it is a very different mat
ter when domestic fowl must pro-
duce good shell material out of her
food for two hundred eggs during the
year. The modern hen probably eats
no more lime in her food; therefore
the farmer that does not provide i'm
portant supplies of lime will have
trouble with his flock. The eggs will
have thin shells, and there will be
many soft snelled, eggs which will be
a temptation to the poultry to begin
egg eating. 1t is easy enough TO fur
nish the material II one does not for
get. The professional poultry man
never forgets; but the farmer does,
because poultry with him is merely q
side issue.

EFFECTIVE DUST BATH.
and Sulphur Enjoyed by
Hens.

AS to mites, do not believe that
have any in my houses, says New
Jersey poultryman. l use preventa-
tive remedies, spraying the houses and
painting underside of roosts and roost
rests with crude Carbolic solution, also
fumigating with sulphur and white
washing, using the sulphur once a
month and whitewashing about four
times year. The above have found
sufficient for my purpose. l believe
the mites are very difficult to get rid
of once they get foothold in house,
and house infested with them will
need very thorough cleaning and
spraying, being very particular to get
the spray into all cracks and crevices
AS to chicken lice, keep the houses
supplied with dust baths, using clean
dust mixed with fine ashes and sui
phur. When l had a small number OF
fowls, it was an easy matter to in
spect each individual, and dust them
with insect powder, but this involves
entirely too much labor where large
number Of fowls are kept; so now
rely on dust baths mixed as above, I
am not aware that l have ever lost
any poultry from lice or mites and
believe if the above plan is faithfully
followed the trouble will be reduced
to a minimum.-Farmer's Review.

A LAND OF OPPORTUNITIES.
Inducements Held Out by Western
Canada Are Powerful.


A recent number of the Winnipeg
(Manitoba) Free Press contains an
excellent article on the prospects in
Western Canada, portion of which
we are pleased to reproduce.
The agents Of the Canadian Gov
ernment, located at different centres
in the States, will be pleased to give
any further information as to rates,
and how to reach these lands.
"Just now there is keener inter-
est than ever before on the part of
the outside world, in regard to the
claims of the Canadian West as a field
Of settlement. At no previous time
has there been such rush of immi-
grafton, and the amount of informa-
tion distributed broadcast is unprece-
dentedly great.
''In the majority of the States of
the Union and in Great Britain the
opportunities for home-making and
achieving Of even a modest compe-
tence are at the best limited. More
over, according to the social and in
dustrial conditions prevalent in those
communities, the future holds out no
promise of better things. 1t is not
strange, then, that energetic young
men should turn their eyes to Can
ada's great wheat belt, where every
man can pursue fortune without the
hindrance Of any discouraging handi-
cap.
"The inducements held out by West
ern Canada are powerful and made
manifest by the great movement now
in progress. That the prospects are
considerably more than reasonably
certain is borne out by the history of
the country and its residents. The
promise of gain is powerful, but when
added to it there Is the prospect of a
corresponding social and civil eleva.
ton, it should prove Irresistible to
young men of particularly desirable
class for any new country.
1.-THE Canadian West is alive with
opportunities for the young man who
aims at becoming more than mere
atom in the civil and national fabric
Some of the eager young fellows who
arrive on the prairies daily are des
tined to become more than merely
prosperous farmers. In the near fu
ture great municipal and provincial
development will be in the hands OF
the people. The stepping stone tc
both financial prosperity and civil
prominence is, and will be, the farm
For every professional opening there
are hundreds Of agricultural openings
The Canadian prairies are teemins
with opportunities for the honest and
industrious of all classes, but they
are specially inviting to the ambitious
young man who seeks a field for the
energy and ability which he feels in
herent within him. The familiar CRY
of Back to the soil!" is more thar
a vain sounding phrase when applied
to Western Canada"

point where mistake Is likely to be
made being the making of them of un-
seasoned lumber, so that the side
pieces, when they shrink, are less than
the height of the section. pile these
crates up, even when full of honey, as
high as can reach; and it is neces-
sary that this weight should not come
directly on the sections. In piling up
sections that are to stay any length
of time in the crates, always lay a
piece of paper over each one, which
makes it practically dust-proof, es-
pecially if the paper is long enough to
extend down over the ends of the
crates.
Pile your honey in hot, dry place,

JULES SIMON'S PARTRIDGE.
Bird Rescued by Him Became Great
Pet and Spoiled His Appetite
for Its Kind.

The taste of President Fallieres of
France for roast partridge has already
been placed on record, says the st.
James Gazette, that this taste of NJ.
Fallieres' was-some 10 or 20 years
ago-the cause of a serious quarrel be-
tween him and his old friend, NJ Jules
Simon. For NJ. Jules Simon would
never eat partridge, and went the
length of saying that any man who
did so was criminal. 1t was not un-
til his reason was known that NJ. Fall
lieres would pardon his old friend tor
his rudeness.
When Jules Simon was ten years
old, he found a small red partridge
dying in the snow. He took the bird
home and warmed it into life. One
of its legs had been broken, and Simol,
seeing that the fracture was too bad
for setting, amputated the leg with
his pocketknife, and replaced it with
a wooden one. Two days later the
partridge was as happy as possible,
and the tick-tack, tick-tack of its
wooden stump was to he heard all
over the house. 1t became an insep-
arabic companion of young jules
Simon, who named it Cornelia, and it
followed him about wherever he went
with the persistence of the little
lamb. But one afternoon Cornella
was caught in hailstorm, and killed
by the stones before Jules Simon
could go to her help. And Jules ST.
mon never ate partridge from that
day to his death. A partridge al
ways reminded him of Cornelia.

BREAD DYSPEPSIA.
The Digesting Element Left Out

The Digesting Element Left Out.
Bread dyspepsia is common. 1t af-
fects the bowels because white bread ia
nearly all starch, and starch is digested
in the intestines, not in the stomach
proper.
Up under the shell of the wheat berry
pasure has provided a curious deposit
which is turned into diastase when 1t is
subjected to the saliva and to the pan
creatic juices in the human intestines.
This diastase is absolutely necessary
to digest starch and turn it into grape
sugar, which is the next form; but that
part of the wheat berry makes dark
-four, and the modern miller cannot
readily sell dark flour, so natures val
liable digester is thrown out and the
human system must handle the starch
as best it can, without the help that ma
ture intended.
Small wonder that appendicitis, perl
tonitis, constipation and all sorts OF
trouble exist when we go so contrary
to natures law. The food experts that
perfected Grape-Nuts Food, knowing
these facts, made use in their exneri-
ments OF th5 entire wheat and barley,
including all the parts, and subjected
them to moisture and long continued
warmth, which allows time and tho
proper conditions for developing the
diastase, outside of the human body.
In this way the starchy part is trans
formed into grape-sugar in perfect
ly natural manner, without the use Of
chemicals or any outside ingredients
The little sparkling crystals of grape.
sugar can be seen on the pieces OF
Grape-Nuts. This food therefore Is
naturally pre-digested and its use ir
place Of bread will quickly correct the
troubles that have been brought abou'
by the too free use of starch in the
food, and that is very common in thu
human race to-day.
The eeffct of eating Grape-Nuts ter
days or two weeks and the discontin
uance of ordinary white bread is ver'
marked. The user will gain rapidly Ii
strength and physical and menta
health

large proportion of the patients lying
on those snow-white beds women
and girls, who are either awaiting
or recovering from serious operations.
Why should this be the casep Sim
ply because they have neglected them
selves. Female troubles are certainly
on the increase among the women of
this country-they creep upon them
unawares, but every one of those
patients in the hospital beds had plenty
of warning in that bearing-down feel
ing, pain at left or right of the abdomen,
nervous exhaustion, pain in the small
