DAYS OF FINANCIAL STRESS
MAKE FARM LANDS LOOK
RICH.


A staff contributor of southern
newspaper has taken up the question
OF the return to the farm of many who
had forsaken It for the glitter of the
city. He says: ut is well known
fact that the history of this Govern
ment shows that those men who have
been most successful in life and who
have left their impress upon its peo-
pie and its institutions as statesmen,
soldiers, financiers-have as rule
been those whose youth was spent on
the farm, and 1t is to such as these
that there comes with overmastering
power THE CALL OF THE SOIL.
More especially does II come with re-
doubled responsiveness, greater pow.
er and sweeter pleading to the man OF
affairs when the clouds of financial
unrest begin to darken the sky; when
the cry of panic causes people to lose
their wits and act like stampeded cat.

reason there arises before him the
specter of ruin, grinnlng in his face
and waving its gaunt arms in threat.
ening gestlculation.
The pitiable state into which some
men were brought by the recent finan-
cial furry which happily is now
passed, suggests these reflections.
Some were ruined and very few be-
came insane because of their losses.
Two or three took their own lives.

statesman, the great flnancier and
the man of affairs becomes tired of
the struggle. He lays down his pen,
turns from his desk and listens to
the CALL OF THE SOIL.
There are hundreds of cases
throughout the United States of those
who have money in the banks and are
looking for investment in lands. No
investment is better or safer Take,
for instance, the lands in Western Can.
ada that can be bought at from $40 to
SIS per acre which yield a revenue
equal to and often greater than their
original cost. Those lands make a
certain investment. During the past
two months large Investments in
these lands have been made, some in
tending to use the lands for farming
purposes Of their own. Others 20 re.

the Government of Canada located at
different points throughout the United
States have in their possession par.
ticulars of districts In which there are
free homestead grants of 160 acres

schools, churches, &C. These are val.
liable lands. These agents will be

LOSING a Tenant.

A landlord in the Highlands of Scot
land had a "crofter" tenant, who paid
him ten shillings year as rent for
the little farm. At the end of the
second year the tenant came to the
landlord and said that he was not
able to pay more than five shillings a
year, as crops had been poor. The
landlord agreed to this.
At the end of the third year the
tenant appeared before the landlord
again and complained that things
were going so poorly with him that
he was not able to pay any rent. The
landlord agreed to let him remain
rent free. At the end Of the fourth
year the tenant once more appeared
before the landlord, and said:
Colonel, if you don't build me a
barn I'll have to move"

CAUSING DISEASE.
Unhealthy Conditions Which Make
Poutry-Kenping Improbable.

Diseases like roup, chickenpox' and
cankered mouth result from filth, lice
Ind bad grain diet. These diseases
are met with everywhere throughout
the whole country Roup is a cold
developed into a chronic state and
affects chicks worse from 16 weeks
to six months old The best preventive
is a system of exercise, with houses
free from draft and dampness and
free from lice, combined with va
riety of food. Plenty of charcoal put
into the ground food and also in a
place where they will have access to
it, will prevent chickenpox or dry
roup, as it is sometimes called. 1t
will also prevent cankers from form
ing in the membrane of the mouth.
Charcoal absorbr the poisons that
cause cheesy matter to form in the
mouth. In winter more than rs per
cent. of the diseases among poultry
are caused by the presence of lice,
lack of exercise, and overlooking OF
the poultry, and also a lack of shelter.
Dampness and drafts are common
causes of diseases. / find, says writ
er in Farmers Review, that all kinds
of poultry are subjected to these dis
eases, whether 1t be the pure breeds
or mongrels. There is no kind of
feeding that will prevent diseases.
The feeding should be plentiful
enough so that III the fowls may go to
roost with FULL crop of grass and
grain The best balanced rations have
proved most effective, and if lice are
kept away this will be a strong factor
in keeping the poultry healthy.

CURE AT CITY MISSION.
Awful Case of scabies--Body a Mass

body was mass of sores from scratch
ing and she was not able to retain solid
food. We worked hard over her for seven
weeks but we could see little improve
ment. One day I bought a cake of
CuticIra Soap and bottle OF Cuti-
cura Resolvent, and we bathed our
patient well and gave her full dose
of the Resolvent. She slept better that
night and the next day / got box Of

POULTRY NOTES.

Give one feed of good sound grain
daily.
When chick frequently picks itself
1t is lousy.
Late Matched pullets will rarely lay
before spring.
Put few rusty iron nails in the
drinking water.
Breeding geese should be kept
rather thin in flesh.
The best layers are generally in.
different table fowls.
Crusts of bread wet with warm new
milk are unsurpassed for feeding young
chickens.
Giving meat as stimulant and
changing the food will keep hens in a
laying condition.
Dry ashes and lime sprinkled plenti.
fully under roosting perches daily is
highly recommended as a deodorizer
and preserves and increases the value
of manure.

Il Should at All Times BE "Livabie"
Room.

What to do with the living room Is
problem that confronts every house
keeper. The living room should be
in fact as we'll as in name living
room--a livable room. II is the room
In which the most of our time at
home is spent, the hours we have for
leisure. the time we have for play,
the place where we entertain our
friends and 1t Is absolutely essential
that the walls and furnishings of the
living room should be harmonious In
color, suitable in texture, and durable
in material.
The rich. soft solid colored walls
are the ideal walls for the living
rooms. They make a better back
ground for pictures. throw the furni-
ture out in better relief, are less dis
cord2at with rugs and carpeting, and
indicate higher degree OF taste and
culture than do the colored mon.
strosltics which we paste on when we
apply wall paper,
Who ever saw roses climbing UP a
plastered wall growing out OF hard
wood floor2 Yet, that Is what We
suggest TO the Imagination when we
paste paper covered with roses on
our walls. They are neither artistic
nor true. Roses are all very beauti-
full, but they were never made 10

The set figures of wall paper are also
tiresome and equally disagreeable and
rspellant.
The alabastined wall Is the only
correct form OF tinted or solid col

clean way, and more fortunately II Is
the only permanent way; the only
way that does not involve the end

In lighting the walls some thought
must be given the color. Light colors

them. Dark colors reflect but 1879,
Lighting bills can be saved by choos'
ing a color which will reflect the
largest degree OF light. In north
rooms use warm colors or colors
which reflect light. In south and
west rooms sometimes the light can
DO modified by the use OF darker
colors. Dark green's absorb the light;
| light yellows reflect It; browns mod
| ify It, and so on, through tho scale
of colors. The color scheme OF q
room not only Is dependent upon tho
color Of the carpetings but It is also
dependent upon the light Of the room.

PERHAPS A NATURAL MISTAKE.
Physician Had Reason to Think He
Had Lost His Patient.

Henry Grimm, who was formerly
one of the prominent members of the
German-American society, tells story
about German friend of his who
was taken i'll.
For many days the German was
close to death, but after time he
showed Improvement in condition.
The doctor told the Germans wife
that her husband might have any
thing to eat that he liked.
The German expressed desire for
Limburger cheese, and the wife, being
a generous woman and pleased at the
improvement, and in order that her
husband might have nibble at any
time he had taste for it, put some
cheese in every room in the house.
1t is easy to imagine the aroma.
The next morning the doctor called
at the house, and as soon as he opened
the door he asked:
when did he die?"-Hartford Post.

Advantages Which It Offers to the
Poultryman.


1t shows which hen lays the egg. 1t
shows just what each hen is doing.
1t picks out the 300-egg hsn, the
200-egg. the 100-egg, the 50-egg and
the drone. Feeding the drone is one
of the greatest leaks of the poultry
man.
1t picks out the winter layyr. 1t
enables one to get acquainted with
each individual hen.
The frequent handling and moving
the hen from the nest tames her, and
the tame hen is a paying hen.
1t prevents egg eating, as the cul'
prit is easily detected and killed.
1t picks out the hen that lays the
infertile egg, the brown, the white and
the yellow egg.
1t picks out the hen that raises the
best chicks. Not always the highest
scoring hen raises the winning chicks,
1t is the only practical way the
breeder can pedigree his stock. Poul-
try will in time be pedigreed as is
other thoroughbred stock. Trap nests
may be placed in building or yard
away froh the laying hens (when
used for sitting hens) and they can
be removed once a day for feed and
water. When they return to the nest
they shut themselves in and the other
hens out SO they cannot crowd on
and break the eggs.
The trap nest is simple contriv
ance by which the door is set on a
trigger which is sprung by the her
when she enters. The door closes
and she cannot leave the nest until
removed by hand.
A numbered band on each hens leg
enables the owner to tell exactly what
each hen is doing by writing her mum
