No Doubt Her Good Intentions

On one side of the hall in the new

Smithers on the other side of the hall
lived two girls who taught in the pub

but she took motherly interest in
them to the extent of hoping that they

The other day, out of kindness of
heart, she took them a batch of fresh
biscuits she had just baked. And while
she was there, she showed them how
to use the stove, gave them some hints
on marketing, wrote down lot of rec
ipes for simple viands, and gave them
lecture on food values and the prep
aration of leftovers.
They were very grateful to the dear
lady, and they told us all about it. And
they made us promise solepnly that
we would never tell her that they were

USE CARE AFTER DEHoRNING

1t is not usual to apply any prepara-
tion after the operation of dehorning
to prevent bleeding, as the loss OF
blood is not sufficient, as a rule, to be
of consequence. Care should be taken,
however, to prevent substances from
getting into the openings left after
the horns are removed. The horn cores
are elOngations of the frontal bones OF
the skull, and are hollow. They com.
municate with the frontal sinuseS, or
air spaces of the head; therefore for,
eign substances or fragments of horn
which act as an irritant in these cav.
tiles are apt to set up an inflamma'
ton, resulting in the formation of pus
or an abscess, which may prove quite
serious. This trouble is of infrequent
occurrence, but would appear more
liable to happen when the dehornine
instruments are used, on account OF
their tendency to crush, especially ir
the case of old. animals, whereas the
saw cuts clean. If proper care is
taken, however, such an occurrence
following dehorning may in almost
every instance be avoided.
If the animals are dehorned in warn
weather, it is well to apply some pine
tar with a view to keeping flies from
the wounds. Some operators do this
in nearly all cases, thinking that il
facilitates healing. The dehorning op
Grafton should always, when possible
be performed in cool weather, ant
upon animals which have at least at
tanned the age of two years.

more room by thinning out the Stacker
hens.
C:uIIing Regular, Continuous.
Culling should be continuous through
out the year. 1t should consist of
wedding out, when discovered. any
hen which is sick, very thin or ema-
ciated, or which shows evidence of
non-production, weakness or poor vi
tality. The entire flock should be given

ably several times. The hens should
be handled individually and gone over
carefully with the object of separating
the workers from the shirkers. From
the class of better producers it is de-
sirable to pick out as many of the best
as will be needed for subsequent breed
ing. These hens should be banded OF

may be saved for Matching purposes
The inferior fowls should be marketed
as soon as possible.

made, the best time for such work

Moral Issues.

In all that tends to obscure and con-
fuse, men are beginning to see moral
issues more clearly; that all issues
are moral. Every commercial and in
dustrial question is moral. Huge
gains no longer blind us to the meth
DDS by which they were made. The
philanthropy of the giver no longer
sanctifies the rapacity of the gamer.
In all the whirl and confusion, the
dust and the uncertainty of the hour,
the eclipse is passing from the ten
commandments and the golden rule.
Good ethics is good business. We are

of the universe, and find that the

Good fresh eggs put in a basket and
stored in the hot kitchen for day or
two may reach town in such condition
that they must be used at once to be
available for food. A basket of per-
fectly fresh eggs left on the back of
the wagon and exposed to the sun
during ten-mile drive to town may
reach the country merchant in such
shape that not even immediate chilli
Ing will make them available for long

the egg is to be palatable to the city
consumer care in its handling must
begin on the farm. The farmer must
gather his eggs twice a day and must
keep them cool afterwards, just as he
would cream or milk, until they are
delivered in town. There the mer.
chant must at once put them into 9

Precious Metal Is Sought in Many
Places, Though No Great Amounts
Are Recorded.

Gold is found in Sumatra, the
Celebes and in Dutch Borneo in beach
deposits, alluvial deposits, tertiary
gravel beds and also in vein deposits.
According to a government report, the
working of the gravel beds has so far
been of little importance, and the
dredging companies have met with lit
tic success. The natives are employed
to some extent in the washing of river
sediment, and in certain parts of Su-
matra they also work the tertiary beds
in a primitive way by tunnels. The
larger companies cCnfine themselves
to working vein deposits.
1t is understood that the greatest
quantity of gold is produced in the
residency of Benkulen, Sumatra. The
gold mining area extends sometimes to
a length of two and one-half miles.
Water power can be employed near
ly everywhere. Some mines in central
Sumatra are being worked. The mines
in the Celebes are not as rich as those
in Sumatra.

Nomenclature in England Shows Ef-

Parents are giving their "'Peace

are Ronald, Edward, George, Gordon,
Jean, Kathleen, Irene, Marguerite.
Lillian is another popular name for
girls today, and among Welsh people
"Megan" is great favorite.
Names of flowers are more in vogue
now, and politics and loyalty are not
without their influence upon the regis

Relic of Old Rome.

During plowing operations in a field
near the village CT Bratton, Westbury,
Wiltshire, Eng, the plow struck what
proved to be the cover of leaden cof-
fin. The coffin has been examined by
B. Fl. Darlington. the curator of the
Willis Archaeological museum. who
states that the coffin, without doubt.
belongs to the period of the Roman
occupation, says the London Times.
The place where 1t was found is about
a mile from the site of large Romano.
British village. The coffin is 6 feet 5
inches iii length; its width varies from
l foot iFches to foot inches and
its depth 10 l foot Z inches. Large
iron nails Az inches long indicate that
when inferred It had a wooden outer
covering. but that has perished, as
have the bones inferred, except the lee
bones, the peivis and the lower jaw
there is no trace of the skull. Two
pieces of lead form the bottom of the
coffin, but the cover is one piece.

No More Dark Continent.

One may no longer believe in the
existence of a strange white people
in Africa. Rider Haggard's splendid
race Is probably only the Bahima,
originally discovered by Speke in
southwestern Uganda. At least Sir
Harry Johnston claims to have discov-
cred in them the clue to many of the
mysterious white-race legends found
in the dark continent. He was en-
gagged in nothing more thrilling than
tour of inspection of Ankole when
he came across them. They are of a
very light complexion, and are the
aristocrats of this region. Sir Harry
holds that they are obviously descend
ants from a Gala, Somali or other
Hamitic stock, and adds that some OF
them are more like Egyptians than
is the case with CALAIS and Somalis
