DON'TS.

Don't fail to spray mother
hens quarters often for crawlers
Don't preserve eggs that are
over day old, and keep the
water glass in a cool place.
Don't ship eggs away when il
costs less money and trouble to
secure a higher priced private
trade at home.
Don't fail to dress poultry in
the style your market demands,
To get and hold good trade you
must cater to its whims and
throw in some extra for good
measure.
Don't dress fowls in a place
unscreened from flies. One blow
fly can spoil whole shipment
One maggot may chase away
your best and most sensible
customer.

HoadIess Russia,

Russia is roadless land. 1t is in
conceivable to the foreign visitor who
has ever left the beaten track of the
railways in Russia how a great en-
pire can have subsisted so long and so
successfully amid the competition of
the rival states beyond its borders
without even a pretense at roads.
The secret. of course, lies in the fact
that for five or six months In the year
nature herself provides roads over the
greater part of the eXpanse of all the
Russias. admirably smooth. CLASSY
roadways over hard worn snow. The
traffic is further cheapened over these
roads by the substitution of a sledge
runner for the wheel and axle. This
brings the cost of land carriage as
near the cheapness of water borne
freight as possible, and it is the prin-
cipal reason why Russia in the TWEEN
tieth century is still roadiess land

"The present controversy does not
apply only to Jews" says the paper,
"but Catholic priests and Protestant
missionaries are alike treated with
the same contumely which greets the
Jews in their attempt to enter Rus
