MARKETING LIVE POULTRY.
Some Points to Consider to Secure rne
Best Returns.

In all large cities there is constant
demand throughout the year for all
kinds of live poultry. A large proper
tion of this live stock is absorbed by
the Jewish trade, as orthodox Jews
will not use meat of any kind unless
it is killed by certain method under
the direction of rabbi. Each large
market has a slaughter house, where
animals and birds are slaughtered ac-
cording to these prescribed rites. The
best prices for live poultry are secured
at the time of the Jewish holidays, the
dates of which vary from year to year.
They can be ascertained through any
commission house or dealer.
Occasionally the price of live poultry
is as high as for dressed stock, and
under these conditions it is waste
of time to dress the birds before ship
ment. This is particularly true If the
market is near at hand, as the birds
will not shrink much when being
shipped but a. short distance.
For shipping live poultry to market
well-constructed crates are perticular
ly desirable, says the Montreal Herald
They should be of sufficient size to
avoid causing discomfort to the birds,
yet small enough to permit easy hand
ling by expressmen and others. Long
crates should be equipped with solid
cross partitions to prevent the birds
being thrown together at one end
when the crate is tipped in handling.
Failure to observe this simple precau-
tion often results in the loss of num-
Der of birds in each shipment. All
crates should be thoroughly ventilated,
as in crowded express cars they are
frequently piled one above another,
and many birds are smothered in this
way

BEES AND POULTRY.

Plum trees planted in the poultry
yard benefit both tree and hens.
Honey that is sealed will stand
much more dampness than that which
is unSealed.
Nothing will make hens lay more
eggs and develop young pullets faster
than green cut bone.
All propolis, or bee glue, should be
carefully removed from each section.
This is easiest done with an old
table knife.
The honey should be piled few
inches off the floor and little out
from the wall; otherwise that near the
bottom and side of the room will ac-
cumuiate moisture.
More sour milk than you know what

Mrs. Craigie's Address.

the other day at the Authors club in
New York.
When Mrs. Craigie was in America

tation, but her name, through some
oversight, was put far down on the

A FOOD CONVERT.
Good Food the True Road to Health

The pernicious habit some persons
still have of relying on nauseous drugs
to relieve dyspepsia, keeps up the
patent medicine business and helps
keep up the army of dyspeptics.
Indigestion - dyspepsia - is caused
by what is put into the stomach in
the way Of improper food, the kind
that so taxes the strength of the di-
gestive organs they are actually Grip
pied.
When this state is reached, to resort
to stimulants is like whipping tired
horse with big load. Every addi-
tional effort he makes under the lash
increases his loss of power to move
the load
Try helping the stomachby leaving
off heavy, greasy, indigestible food and
take on Grape-Nuts-light, easily di-
gested, full of strength for nerves and
brain, in every grain of it. There's no
waste Of time nor energy when Grape
Nuts is the food.
Il am an enthusiastic user of Grape
Nuts and consider it an ideal food"

Dear Mrs Pinkham:-
"Loss of strength, extreme nervousness,
