straight to the house, of course, and
had him taken UP to bed. We were
afraid of internal injuries, for, barring

was little to see, and my husband drove
straight off to Hartford for a doctor.

Poultry ms n Business.

Is there progress in poultry keepingl
Read the market reports. Look at the
amount Of poultry advertising done to-
day as compared with five years ago.
How did the winter prices of eggs In
the last Eve years of the nineteenth
century compare with those Of the first
FIVE years Of this? Thousands Of peo-
pie are to-day making a comfortable
living and many have become inde-
pendent by raising poultry and eggs for
the market. 1t has been proven by ex-
periments that II costs no more to pro
duce a pound Of poultry than 1t does
to produce pound of pork or beef, yet
poultry Is always worth more per
pound than any other meat and sells
lust as readily.

GEORGIAN BAY CANAL.

1t Would Make Chicago Practically
an Ocean Port.
The work of the Georgian bay canal
commission Is now nearing completion,
says the New York Sun. A full report
will be submitted to the Dominion
Parliamentat Its next session. The main
features Of the report were published
a few days ago. The proposals Of the
commission are for a more elaborate
and more extensive enterprise than was
originally projected. The present
scheme Is Of even greater concern to
American transportation interests than
was the earlier plan. Its relation to
the New York State $101 900, 900 barge
canal enterprise assumes new I'M
portance.
Briefly, the report Of the Canadian
commission proposes an inland water
way twenty-ons feet in depth from
Georgian Bay TO Montreal, by way Of
the French river, Lake Nipissing and
the Ottawa river. The economic ad-
vantage Of this route between the great
lakes and Europe Is evident 1t can
be appreciated by glance at a map.
The actual transportation distance
from Sault Ste. Marie to New York
by way of Huron, the St Clair river,
Lake Erie and the $1O1, 100000 Now
York State barge canal Is about twice
as great as that from the 500 to Mont
real via the projected Georgian Bay
route. Such a canal would practically
make ocean ports Of Fort William, Du-
luth and even Chicago. That Is, car
goes could be shipped from those points
to Europe without breaking bulk.
Freight carriers Of considerable capac-
ity could be loaded with wheat or iron
or beef or other commodities at lake
ports and unloaded at European ports.
1t Is estimated that the cost Of trans,
porting wheat to tidewater would be
reduced by at least 81 cents bushel.
Earlier estimates of the cost of this
enterprise have varied from $50, 0O0,-
600 to $S5,0OO,000. Commenting on the
commissions estimate OF $105, OOO, 900
for the plans which are to be submit
ted. an Ottawa dispatch to the Toronto
Globe says that elm the present esti-
mate allowance Is mare for finer
waterway In respect to easy navigation
for large vessels and for a more thor
ough and permanent engineering WORK
than was contemplated in the estimates
made hitherto" The new scheme also
involves a supply Of b0oOoo-horse
power, or nearly as much as is avail.
able at Niagara, which could be used
for manufacturing purposes
II Canada carries out this plan, al
she Is likely to do at no distant date,
It will open direct and serious competi-
ton with the Erie barge canal route.
Between this $10C,00O.O00 route with
Its twenty-one feet Of navigable depth
and the s101 100000 gutter across New
York State, the odds, as a business en-.
terprise. are emphatically In favor OF
the Georgian Bay canal.

The "strength" of Flour.

Millers and bakers know that large
differences exist among various sorts
of wheat -four with regard to baking
value, or strength, but 1t appears that
only recently have complete chemical
tests been made to determine why a
given quantity of -four of one brand
will produce loaf and nearly one
third larger than the same quantity of
another brand. According to expert
ments by the Department Of Agricul-
ture at Cambridge, England, the vol
ume Of loaf Of bread depends in the
first instance upon the relative amount
of sugar in the dough. The addition
of sugar always increases the size Of
the loaf, or. as the baker says. makes
the -four stronger. There are other
differences affecting such things as text
ure and color of bread, the chemical
bases Of which are yet under examina-
ton.

Every farmer should have hia acre

tremendous demand for wood that

be an asset and will certainly add to
the market value Of the farm.-St

The Peanut Trade.

A"~ CAhuA AE&WCs
Peanuts have become an important
article Of American foreign commerce
In the last six years, especially on the
Import side, in spite of the fact that we
produce about 100000 bushels year.
Peanut imports have grown In value
from $4,000 in 1900 to $4,000 this
year, while our exports thereof will ap-
proximate 100000. When this fiscal
year closes we shall have to list pea
nuts for nearly 100000 Of our total
foreign commerce for the year, accord
ing to the Bureau of Statistics Of the
Department of Commerce and Labor.
The peanut acreage In this country
increased $50 per cent and production
233 per cent between 1890 and 1900.
There are under cultivation now ST..
600 acres, producing 11,9Oo, 900 bushels
