In Judge McKinleys'c they were
examining talesmen for the trial OF a
boy, who had killed his father. The
lawyers dwelt mostly on the facts of
marriage, paternity and whether there
had been insanity in the families of
the men under examination.
When they got around to Michael
Mccarthy the wait had been long and
he proceeded to whip up.
Asked the first question he galloped
away with this:

"Oh, Mr.. Hero, I'm SO glad to see

I'm awfully interested. Wasn't it sim
ply terrible over there? And did you
really live in the trenches for weeks

ing all around you? l don't see how
you could stand it. Were you ever hit
by one of those forty-two centimeter
guns? l mean by the bullet, of course;
not by the gun. But then, Of course,
you weren't, or you'd have your arm
in sling or something. Who do you
think is going to win? / suppose I
shouldn't ask you that, though. You
soldiers are not allowed to tell mill
tary secrets, are you? Did you ever
really kill a man yourself, or don't you
know? My uncle, who was in the
Spanish war, says you never can tell
whether it's your bullet or somebody
else's that hits the enemy. ! should
think that would be awfully annoying.
Not that you want to know that you'd
killed a man, but still you'd like to
know whether you're wasting your am
munition or not. oh, must you go so
soon? 1 wish you would stay longer.
I've been so interested in hearing your
adventures. Call again soon, won't

WOOL GROWING IN
CANADA A SUCCESS
This By-PrOduCt Of the Farm Will
Make Many Western Canada
Farmers Rich. -


Alberta wool growers are looking for
rs cent wool this year. That is the
assertion made by prominent sheep
man Of the Grassy Lake district. 1T
is quite within the pale of possibility
that we will receive that figure from
our wool this summer" said he, land
l would not be surprised to see some
get more than that.
The war has caused a great demand
to be made on the wooden mills, and
they have got to have the raw mate
rial"
The present season has been most
propitious for the growing of wool, and
the growers expect to reap big bar-
vest of splendid quality. The winter
has been very even, and the sheep are
doing well on the ranges.
No special breed of sheep is kept
on Western Canada farms, and all
seem to do well. The advice of those
interested in the welfare Of the farm
ers of Western Canada, advise all
who can at all do so to enter upon the
raising of sheep. They have proved
most profitable to those who go into
that industry on a scale commensu-
rate with their means, and their farm
area.
The climate is perfectly adapted to
the raising of sheep, they are easily
kept, and as pointed out, there is good
money to be made out of them.--Ad-

GIVING OIL FOR INDIGESTION
Green or Immature Corn Is Always
sure to Cause Trouble--MIId Pur-
aatIve Is Recommended.

Nearly two-thirds of the deaths of
turkeys are caused by indigestion.
Green or immature corn is always
sure to cause indigestion and bowel
trouble, and birds so afflicted droop
around, are ION their feed" and If
relief is not given them, die in few
days.
Having lost some turkeys from in
digestion. we resolved to experiment
q little. Instead OF giving a violent
purgative as recommended, by some
poultrymen, we gave a mild one,
namely: Raw linseed oil In table
spoonful doses. We have never
known this remedy to fail, says q
writer in an exchange. As soon aH
a turkey looks detected and "droopy''
we give it dose and next day It is
clipper and spry as ever, Poults
should be given teaspoonful doses Of
the oil.

difference in the average egg produc-

The time taken in selection, and the

Trap-nesting is the only positive way

PEN THE HENS TO GET EGGS
Fowls Should Be Confined From Time
They Reach Maturity Until

By GEORGE H. PELLARD)l


AS a cold-blooded business PROPOSE

that of keeping the hens shut in all

from the time they reach maturity I'M

wise nearly inseparable from poultry
keeping.
The fowls do not look so well as
when on range-their plumage gets
dull and they are less lLyely, but they
will shell out the eggs and keep on
Smelling them out with less labor and
less expense than under any other
system, unless it is the colony system
with free range.
Even then it is doubtful If the same
number can be more easily cared for,
OF the ultimate profit will be greater.
In keeping the hens on this plan,
they F''0uld be separated into flocks
of rs 35 and allowed from four to
six square feet per bird.
Dry feeding entails the least work
and, therefore, brings the best profit,
as the egg yield is generally better
than where fed on the one-mealat-a-

If the feed is properly proportioned
and the supply is always ample, there
will be no trouble in getting eggs, and
lots of them, If the hens are in good
