BERTHA TYSON, Editor
THE FARM FLOCK

IMPROVING THE FARM FLOCK.
There are three ways OF improving
the flock; first by purchasing pen of
pure bred fowls OF the breed selected.
Second by purchasing pure bred males,
and third by obtaining eggs from pure
bred stock.
In this article it is my desire to give
the reader the relative or comparative
value derived from each. so they may
be in a position to adopt one of the
! three ways.
Many people continue to keep the
same stock year after year, until they
detcriorate greatly, becoming smaller
each year and less hardy from con-
/ tinued inbrceding. TO those who have
driven through other sections OF the
country, where but one breed OF chick
ems are kept on each farm, it is any
| thing but pleasant sight to see the
, mixtures found on some of our farms.
The same people who fully apprc-
catc the merits OF a thoroughbred
! horse or COW, even vet continue to
hoot at the mention Oi thoroughbred
/ chicken or turkey. | have frequently
/ heard it said by practical farmers that
/ it costs no more to keep a good COW
, than a bad one. and the profits are
much more from a good one To any
one taking the timcto think, it is OBJ
| viOuS to say. this rule applies as we'll
to chickens and poultry OF all kinds as
, well as to horses and cows. The bet
ter the breeding the better the results

British Government Finds Itself Between
WO Fires
Colonial Protests and Obligations To Its
Oriental Ally-View of Dominion Secretary---l4ate
Reports From Scene of Riot.

London, Sept. 9.-The news of the
attacks on the japanese and Chinese
at Vancouver did not surprise the col
onial or foreign officials here who have
long expected an outbreak against the
Asiatics in Canada, but they have the
greatest confidence that Canada will
be able to suppress further outbreak.
At the same time the officials realize
that a most serious problem mas aris-
en-. particularly as the feeling appears
10 be so strong against the subjects of
Great Britian's eastern ally that it re-
quires most careful handling for what
ever action is taken is likely to be re-
sented by colony or by Japan.
The question has been a subject for
consideration for some time by the
imperial authorities which have used
their good Offices on numerous occa-
siUns to prevent the enactment CT anti
japanese legislation by British Column
bia. 1t is understood the matter was
discussed "a length during the recent
visit OF the colonial premiers TO Lon
don. Australia being as much opposed
- admission of Asiatics as the Cana
dians. No steps were taken at the
time and the subject was allowed to
lie until the asitations were received.
All the cabinet ministers are out of
town at present but the colonial and
foreign Offices are seeking to obtain all
the information possible on the sub
ject of the Vancouver outbreak with a
view to taking action, the nature of
which is difficult to surmise.

FRENCH SCIENTIST
TO TOUR AMERICA
His Mission is Geological Investigation
Under Direction Of the French Gov
ernment.

Paris, Sept 9.-Dr. Loisel, head of
the laboratory of higher geological
studies AT the Ministry of Public In
struction. is being sent by the ministry
on a mission of geological study TO the
United States and Canada. This will
be the third journey Of the kind the
doctor has made, he having already
exhaustively studied the geological and
botanical collections of Europe.
The idea in view is 20 effect a COM
plete reorganization of the French col
lections. The budgets of this depart
ment in France amounts to $4,000;
and in order To make this as far as
possible. ii has now been decided to
keep only one specimen. male and fe-
male. of each of the rarest animals,
and TO abolish the cOmmoner varieties
such as dogs, cats, wolves, asses,
mules. etc.
Laboratories are to be established in
which special care is to be given to
the science of hybridization ard selec-
tion. Also a huge insectariu.n is to
be established in Paris; while greater
attention is to be paid 10 the study of
snakes.
All these changes, however. seemed
to DIR. Loisel somewhat revolutionary,
and he is going TO America To study
further and see if he cannot strike a
medium and bring about the desired
results a little more gradually.
