NO MAIL FOR ENGLAND.

After the departure last week OF the
steamships New York and Cameronia
for Liverpool the only opportunity TO
send letters to Great Britain during the
past week was by the steamship North
land, which left Portland Me-. on Sat
urday March 10. for Liverpool. There
will be no mail for England this week,
either from New York, Boston or Phil
adelphia. as the first vessel listed to
sail from New York for England is the
Arabic, on March II. This is the hrst
time in.more than thirty years. steam
ship men said today, in which there has
been a lack of ocean liners going to
Great Britsin or since the date when
steam vessels, with regular schedule
succeeded the old sailing clippers.

covering OF flesh aud Fat over the back
and loin is going to take care Of herself
first and her owner next In other
words, COW is not going to put on
flesh and show a profit at the pail at
the same time. These are the laws that
we cannot evade. and success In the
dairy business can only come with the
full realization of the Importance Of
dairy type.
Ii has been said many times and the
facts would certainly bear out the as
sertion that the sire il half the herd.
Certain II Is that we can 20 through
the country and see herd after herd
Of scrub cows headed by scrub bulls.
and no one can deny that the progeny
thereof are scrubs. But just as truly
we may find many herds of cows of no
better quality. but headed by a pure
bred bull, bred along productive lines.
and in nine cases out Of ten the of
spring will surphss tlfeir dams in
quantity and quality of production. BY
selecting bull backed up by line
of productive ancestry II Is possible
to have an animal capable Of string
productive offspring.
Feed and care are undeniably factors
affecting the production OF our cows,
but unless the COW is built for produc-
ton and bred for production IL is a
heartbreaking task to try 10 feed pro-
ductiou into her. Therefore the first
step ON the highway of success in the
farm dairy business is the possession
OF the knowledge Of the value OF good
animals that are intended for efficient
milk production.

POULTRY PicKiNos.

Remember that the size OF the

largely by the female and color

Lime. grit and charcoal should
be provided for turkeys during
the winter months. BY such pro-
vision blackhead Is less likely TO
! occur later on in the spring and
summer.
\ Turkeys lay from fifteen TO
thirty eggs at n litter. Put the
l early eggs under hens and let
the turkey set on the June eggs
on bright. sunny days. when
there is no snow on the ground.
II is best TO allow the fowls out

Something to sell the year
around Is the secret of success
with poultry.
Heavy birds and high roosts
are bad combination. Large
