Bears Grease and RaIdness.

In recent volume of "reminiscences
the writer states that badness is
much more common now than in his
early days, and ascribes the modern
mans loss Of hair to the decrease in
the use of bears grease" This
pomade was made principally of lard
celored and scented, but "hairdress-
ers, many of whom called themselves
professors, used to advertise the
slaughter of another fine bear, ex
hibiting canvas screen depicting in
glaring colors a brown animal of ele'
phantine proportions expiring in a sea

Mount Royal Once Active Volcano

Mount Royal Once Active Volcano.
In the work on the Canadian North.
ern railway tunnel the engineers have
found that Mount Royal. under which
the line will pass, was at one time
either an active volcano or was made
by lava being forced up through the
ground.
An interesting proof of the fact that
at one time a great glacier flowed
from the Laurentian mountains to the
St Lawrence river was found in the
small heading On Ste. Monique gneiss
a rock peculiar TO the Laurentian
mountains, and it is believed that In
the past this rock was carried down
by a glacier, which probably emptiei
into the st. Lawrence river not fal
rom the present harbor.

SHOULD A HEN LAY
FIVE TIMES WEIGHT
IN EGGS IN A YEAR
When Applied to Smaller Breed,
Yes; to Larger American
Fowls No.

The Poultry Bulletin of Cornell uni
Versity says hen should produce five
times her weight in eggs during a year.
This may be true when applied to the
smaller laying breeds, but would not
mold good when applied to the Ameri-
cans or larger breeds, although they
may be credited with laying as many
eggs in year as the others but il must
be remembered that they weigh almost
twice as much as the strictly egg
breeds. There is no question, however,
but what the hen is in a class by her
self when it comes to paying for herself
in year.
Gull Out Weak Hens.
Gull out the weak hens from the flock
and get rid of them. There are several
ways to distinguish the weak from the
vigorous in a flock. strong hen Will
have a bright red and looking
face and comb when laying; comb may
be rather large for the breed she repre-
sents. She will be found to be singing
and scratching most of the time The
head should be rather stout, not slim
and cranish. The eyes large and bright.
The neck well arched, not slim and
straight; tail should be carried I'D in
good form, not low and dragging. The
body should be deep from back to keel
