The Housewife talks

Well, I've learned something new
about oysters from my Mary, who is
in the cooking school.
The teacher told her always to buy
Sealshipt oysters, because they are
solid meats. She said that oysters,
soak up water like a sponge, and
that II Ice Is PIT with them, they soak
1t up as fast as it melts. That's what
makes other oysters look 80 bloated
and white.
She figured It all out for me; that Ii
you pay 30 cents for quart OF oys-
ters, and haif of IL is water, then you
are paying s1.2O gallon for water
and dirty water at that.
But if you buy Sealshipt you get
solid meats and no water, because the
ice ice is put outside the sealed case
that the oysters come In.
She's right. I've tried is, and I
know that pint of Sealshipt oysters
viii go almost as far as a quart OF
other oysters.
Only-I have to order oysters z.uck
oftener now, because ali the family
like these Seashipt so much better.

Nothing has ever come OF the talk OF
taxing the bachelors in America In
Strassburg. Germany. the town council
has adopted system OF paying munich
pal employees. which puts in effect a tax
not only on bachelors. but on married
men with small families. A standard
schedule Of salaries has been arranged
adapted to the needs OF married men
with three children. Single men be-
tween the ages OF twenty and twenty
five years receive 10 per cent less man
the schedule salary. when a nan has
more than three children he receives s
per cent more than the standard sched-
ule. 10 per cent more for five children
and Is per cent more IL he has seve,
children A similar system has been
in operation In Halberstadt for some
time. with this difference. that the ex-
ira allowances for children are patd
directly TO the mothers.

have raised this year in the way of grain.
Never in the history Of any country
has there been a more prosperous year
for farmers than the present one in the
Dominion West. so enormous has been
the grain production that nearly 25ODO.-
900 pounds Of binder Irvine were required
for the crops. Oats this season
have gone as high as one hundred
bushels TO the acre. while over large areas
Of country the average has been as high a.
eighty and ninety bushels The wheat
yield has been as high as fifty bushels 10
the acre. and from figures already in il
is believed that the total will show an
average yield of between twenty and TWEEN
ty-hve bushels to the acre throughout the
three provinces.
Ii is difficult for one TO understand
just what Western Canada means TO the
farmer until he takes at least one trip
through that country As yet the vast
grain lands Of the three western prov
inces. with an area large enough to sup
port the population Of a nation. have
hardly been scratched In other words. il
may truthfully be said that the tremen-
dous production Of these provinces to-day
is that Of a few pioneers Last year
