SHOES OF ALUMINIUM.

Owing to the increase in the cost of
leather. which has been on the upward
trend for many years. there has been a
demand for some substitute that will take
its place to certain extent In the manu-
facture OF shoes. and In some parts Of
the country there has been received with
favor shoe partly made of aluminium
The use OF leather is not dispensed with
entirely. but tho sole and counter, tho
parts most subject to wear, are made of
the metal. Tho hard usage Of shoes
comes on the heel and sole, and In tho
case OF the aluminium tho wearer walks
on the heel and n rocker. across the sole
OF tho shoe, which parts are renewable
ana may bc readily replaced without
sending tho shoes to the shoemaker.
The new shoes are no heavier than
those OF leather. and are said to be much
more economical on account of the in
creased service secured.-Toronto Star.

GETTING WINTER EGGS?
How Poultry OwnerS May PROFIT from
Fall and Winter Prices.

.
Early Matching is the secret Of winter

ed States department Of agriculture.
The pullet that is Matched early natures

hells by April 80 at the latest. II they
re properly cared for thereafter they
Pill begin to lay eggs at the very time
hat eggs are most wanted.
To a great extent the poultrymen OF
Inc country have overlooked this simple
act. For one thing. birds Matched later
h the spring or summer are not inclined
10 become broody until late the following
eason and thus an Improbable circle
formed. Bach year pullets mature

nd they sit too late for the Offspring

wishes to get really good returns from

The growing use OF incubators has made
his comparatively easier. There Is nc
eason why incubators should not b
