A Hen Hospital.

TIE editor Of the Independent has
"a couple of dozen choice Plymouth
Rock hens bought by the editors
wife last fall. Hens are luxury
in town. So nice to have nice fresh
eggs. Since last fall we have paid
for five dollars worth OF barley and
nscsroni wheat, a. dollars worth Of
straw, so nice for the hens to
scratch in, AMI q Pail OF cracked
oyster shells to make the hens lay.
Only one Of them has deigned to
lay since last fall-she lay down
ana died. We have had time
with them since the cold spell came
upoa us. One showed signs of cold
feet and she was brought into the
hssse placed in the basement, and
set in pail OF sRSw FOR half a day.
This drew the frost out. A little
ssrpentine tesk out the soreness
and the old zen got along ali right,
until the third day after she had
taken up her abode in the hen hos
pital, when she crcaked. We have
bought Individual foot warmers for
the rest OF them and think that
heF'l pull thru until spring. OF
course hens are a bother in town
in the winter, but in" the Spring
they'll net need much care. A
aeishbor keeps hls garden and as
Ne hasn't much 81 a fence, we'lr
kees them withsut much cost.

OTTAWA, Ont, Sept. 2-The! rul-
ing of the United States treasury
board against wood pulp and paper
from Ontario and Quebec has given
considerable concern to the Ontario

It is not possible for the federal gov,
ernmen to take any further action
to improve the tariff relations between
the two countries. The restrictions
on the expectations Of pulp wood which
the United States resented were put
on the Ontario and Quebec govern
