it deserves consideration. 1t is per-
fectly possible that women may have
the largest rights where they have
the smallest reverence. And If this
reverence of men for women be really
lacking, it is certain that the respect

Moonlight is so intense at times in

eyes with moonlight-fallen dew. These

Canadian Correspondence:
During the early days in the growth

increasing interest throughout the Uni

when harvest is completed. These

form that vast agricultural domain, and
is of considerable interest to the
friends they have left behind them.
The year 1909 is no disappointment:
it will bring comfort and happiness,
wealth and luxury to those who are
following agriculture as a pursuit in
the country now occupying so much of
the attention of the world-of this con-

To Fatten Fowls.

A good method for fattening fowls
is given by reader: Shue the fowls
up in dark place, with just enough
light for them to see to eat, and sup
ply them well with grit and water.
Corn meal, ground oats, cracked wheat
and shorts mixed in equal portions
should be fed. Feed them as often
during the day as they will clean up
the food, and bear in mind the impor.
tance of "stuffing" them. They should
be fed after dark every evening, as
well as very early each morning. Half
a dozen fowls together will fatten more
rapidly than large number, and IL 1t
is practical to pen them off, six to a
pen is the right number. Give no green
stuff to these fowls, but rations of
cooked potatoes, rice, corn bread,
cracked corn and whole wheat may be
given. Fowls crowded and stuffed in
this way should be In fine condition In
three weeks.

The Fro.en-Meat Trade.

Frozen Chinese pork is to be import
ed into England, which recalls to the
mind Of writer in the London Chron-
icle the fact that the frozen meat trade
is nearly century old. On Jan. 80,
1916, three Eskimos arrived at Har-
wich, England. by the packet from
Gothenburg. bringing FIVE sledges pack
ed with ptarmigan, blackjack and 9TH
er game, frozen and packed in air-tight
cases. The enterprising Northerners
had to pay over $3.50 duty on the con-
signment and $50 for carriage from
Harwich to London; but, as the game
was in excellent condition, 1t found q
ready sale and brought high prices.
The Eskimos did so well out Of the
speculation that they remained in Eng
land for several months, spending their
profits In royal fashion; but despite
the success of the experiment, 1t does
not appear to have been repeated.

Laws governing the ownership OF
real estate have been evolved from the
mutual rights Of man to the soil and
his relations to his fellow man and the
public welfare. Ownership Of land is
one OF the great upholding forces Of
modern civilization. No man. however,
acquires a right to real estate that he
can maintain against the public well
fare. which has the power to condemn
property needed for public use. or that
Is menace to public life and health.
All mems rights in real estate are cir
cumscribed by the rights OF adjoining
owners and the paramount interests Of
the general government, which can take
possession Of the property after ap-
praisal and condemnation for the gen.
eral welfare. If the government did
not retain the right to condemn and
take property belonging to private par
Ties, then the Individual holding would
De an empire in itself and block all
progress and public Improvements.
All real estate is defined and circum-
scribed by boundary corners and lines
as established by government survey.
The States are divided into counties,
and the counties subdivided into town.
ships. and the townships into sections
OF $40 acres. Each section is divided
into quarter sections with appropriate
descriptions in the conveyance of the
property. The meridian lines were
used In description of real estate. and
In The government survey section and
quarter section corners are established
TO mark the boundaries of public lands.
In purchasing land it is well in the
preliminary examination to ascertain
the corners and boundary lines Of the
property and ascertain If the adjoining
owner is satisfied with the division
fences. II one purchases eighty acres
and he apprehends that the land is
short measure 1t would be better to
have the property surveyed before the
transfer is made. The government cor.
ners should be marked by a stone moi
easily removed, and If the corner is SC
designated subsequent surveys may
make the property more or less thar
the description, but cannot change the
monumental corners established by the
original government survey.
Farms are occupied individually ant
