He allows his necktie band to wander up under his left ear, when for 5c he can get a Patent Tie Holder or a Pointer Collar Button that won’t let it slip. He’ll wear a short, shrunk- ( up Undershirt, that gets into a wad around the middle of his ( back and makes him feel twice as hot and uncomfortable as he ( ought to be, when for 25c, 35c, or 50c he can get a fine light .

He’ll wear a great heavy Tweed Coat in his effort to wear it out, rather than put it away where his wife could find it, and trade it off for a fine Flower Basket or beautiful Green Palm, and he wouldn’t have to wear ' it out, and he could take five dollars’ worth of comfort out of our $i.25or$i.5olight Lustre orSergeCoats.

M^CRIMMON About two years ago,through an accident,

a small piece of iron lodged in Norman Mc- Crimmon’a left eyo. He was to see one of Montreal’s eye specialists at the time, w’ho recommended a wait, as possibly its presence in the oye might never interfere with the sight. About two months ago the afflicted eye began to trouble him, and steadily grew worse till its sight was totally destroyed. Mr and Sirs McCrimmon then hastened to Montreal, where Dr Buller, eye specialist, and Dr Campbell, of the Victoria Hospital, performed an operation and successfully removed the sightless eye ; the sight of the right being unimpaired. Mr McCrimmon has the sym.patby of the community in his affliction.

It was presented to her by the Rev A Graham and a special prize was given to Miss Houston. Tho pro- gramme of the evening consisted of ad- dresses, readings, recitations and songs. After the public meeting • the Royal Tem- plars entertained the teacher of the public school and the pupils of Mr. Collins. Cake was passed around and a social hour was pleasantly spent. It is very probable that the council will give a medal next year for competition.

On Monday morning at St Ann’sChurch, Montreal, W E Corbett, of the Canada Paint Company, Montreal, and Miss Mary Kelly were united in marriage by Rev. Father Strubbe. Immediately after the ceremony the party returned to tho home of the bride wheie breakfast was served in keeping with the occasion.

Those of our vicinity who* are especially interested in the efficiency of tho Wil- liamstown High School, are expressing most freely their regret that tho wisdom ofthe trustees was not adequate to secure the retention of Mr Dandeno as head master. He is spoken of here as a most capable teacher with a marked individuali- ty and altogether a desirable personality.

GLEN ROBERTSON Tho owl blinks at daylight and has a

clear vision in the night. There is now and then foimd'persons who blink at any efforts made by their fellowmen to shift for themselves and to do better in the world. They are always predicting a failure and their wish is father to the thought. They long to be in the condition of “I told you so.” There is a hoot in their croaking voice that is unmistakable in defining their species. They blinked and hooted at tho probable birth of the young Aberdeen Company. They pre- dicted and prophesied a few months of miserable existence, but such prediction, shallow as the brains from which they emanated, failed in the extreme. Young Aberdeen is quite a healthy youngster, as tho manufacturing of seven cheese a day amply testifies. The young company is bound to thrive and will be a credit to the members thereof.

It was announced in R. C. church last Sunday that tha picnic in aid of the church will be bold either the 30th of August or 1st September. Preparations will soon be begun for tho event and it should prove to be the great drawing card of the season.

On Friday evening, June 27th, the pupils of tho Alexandria High School extended a farewell entertainment to Robert Stewart, their retiring teacher. About a week pre- vious to the above date a meeting was held by the pupils in tho High school and all necessary preliminaries wore arranged and everyone devoted all his energies to make the entertainment a ' success. The boys volunteered to get palms and arrange the seats, procure lamps etc. The girls superintended the decorative department. The event opened out with aljout l25 pupils and ex-pupils present. Mr. Joseph Mc- Lennan the president of tho managing committee rose and explained the object of the entertainment in a short well chosen introductory address. When he had finished he called on Miss Ethel Ostrom who read the following address to Mr. Stewart, all the pupils rising :

To Mr. Robert Stewart, ^ Assistant Master of Alexandria "

High School.

Dear Mr. Stewart : When it became known nob long

ago to us, your pupils in Alexandria High School, that circumstances were such as to necessitate your removal from us, and that we no longer should tread with you as our guide, the rugged path loading to know- ledge, a feeling of genuine regret and sorrow prevailed among us, and before you are completely removed from our midst we are unitedly anxious to bear testimony to the high regard and deep esteem we cherish towards you.

Your patient and conscientious discharge of your duties proves that you have ever held before you a high Ohristain ideal which permitted you to turn neither to the right nor to the left ond your actions have spoken more for you in the past than any words of ours could do now, although those words may ba ever so fervent. We know that ) Oii have often se.orificed both health and comfort for the sake of direct- ing our perhaps sometimes unwilling feet to a path which will lead us, if we faith- fully follow, to noble manhood and woman-

Realizing that a teacher may have much to do in tho moulding of tho young lives about him, you have together with youf colleagues, % setting a personal example, ever striven to form characters which might enable us to take our place and do our allotted tasks in the groat ever moving world around us.

But your work among us is now at an end and the hand of Destiny has prepared other work for you, and at the same time for many of your pupils who are just finishing High school life and are about to launch forch on the great unknown sosk of life. Although it may have been decreed that these friendships formed during school life should never be renewed on earth, let us trust that the friends may never drift entirely apart nor school life be forgotten, but rather always thought of as a casket in which we have all stored away some of life’s sweetest hours.

Of you Mr. Stewart we shall all always retain grateful and lasting memories of your zealous and faithful labors for our good and we are sure that you will obtain tho reward you deserve for work well done and that your future will always continue to grow brighter and brighter. Before parting we would like to present you v/ith these l^Doks whose pages we hope will ever help to keep a green place in your memory for us. That success may attend you while pursuiug your chosen profession aud that you may enjoy a very happy life, not the less so because of the memory of the years you spent with us is the earnest wish of all your pupils. •

Signed on behalf of the pupils of Alex- dria High School.

THE GLENGARRY NEWS, ALEXANDRIA, ONT., JULY I, 1898

CILngarrç

A. Q. F. MACDONALD, EDITOR.

SiftoQ, Tarte and Blair are now getting from the Tory press what Hon. Alox Mac- kenzie got in 1878. The praise that is now given that statesman from the same source will be with-held from Tarte, Blair and Sifton until they have departed from the political arena.

If, as the Tory newspapers allege, mem- bers of the present Dominion cabinet are corrupt and practice corruption,put through crooked deals,etc.,the opposition are derilict in their dutyif theydo not make speoifioohar- ges and at least attempt to bring the offen- ders to justice. The government has nèver shown the slightest hesitation in granting the means for instituting a parliamentary investigation, and if the Opposition wish

^ to gain credit in the eyes of the country, lot them lay and prove’definitQ charges and not assert, as at the conclusion of the Drummond Counties’ investigation, that no charges of corruption were made in the House.

While oriticism of the appointment of 3. F. Lister to the bench is rampant in the Tory press of Ontario, it is gratifying to find at least one Tory paper admit the wisdom of Mr. Lister’s appointment. The Toronto ‘World’ of June 21st says :—“Mr. Lister, who goes up to the bench from the

•—-House of Odmmons, has certainly strong claims from a party point of view. In that way he o’ortops ail the other M.P.’a or oz-M.P.’s of judicial aspirations. As to his other qualifications, he is a good lawyer and has a hard head, full of common sense. As these appointments have gone in this country we do not see any reason for the

L fuss that over-zealous papers are making. We are even willing to admit that Mr.

r" Hardy may have had a band in selecting Mr. Lister, but even then, if one wishes to criticize political appointments and be

^ effective,one must condemn them generally

and not speoifio oases alleged against one’s political opponents. The World hasn’t any

doubt that Mr.Lister will be a good judge.”

~ Never in the history of Glengarry was

the neoeseity for good roads more apparent than this spring. The continuous wet weather has proven substantially that our roads cannot stand aoy degree of wet weather, and the lesson to be learned is

that roads should be made in such a way as not to be affected by any kind of weath- er. There ia in this county no lack of

material for road making or road improve- ment, yet the condition 6£ nearly all tbe roads in the county is a most unfavorable

K^.QanuBeatary on the ideas of progress that

P? Jvilhm the county. Time is

^ and there is no use talking must be up-to-date. Roads that

1^-' did. aàrvitÿ at a time when the pioneer satUora^ft^e glad to get any kind of roads

[ v f>n, are not good enough for the

^ the present day. We have as ^ industrious, enorgetio and intelligent a

class of people as can be found anywhero and nothing but the best is good enough for them.. Let the other townships follow Lancaster’s example without^ hesitation and invest in good .road machinery. The

the Ontario Government the charge that in order to secure money for election pur- poses a contract was entered into with Messrs. P. L. & John Connor for the mauu* facture of binder twine at the Central Pri- son, upon the understanding that the Messrs. Connor should contribute money

. for election purposes, aud garbled quota- tions from tbe evidence given in court are submitted to prove that such a transactiou reàllv took place.

For several years the Ontario Govern- .. meat. t!^^Mt||h the officers of the Central •' P^riaon. on the manufacture of

binder tw&. It was thought, however, ^ that tha -public interest would be better

y 3 tarved if iha work was done by contract T fath^ than directly by the officers of tho 1 ' OaatraL Fztton. Accordingly tenders were

for in August, 1895, with the result ^'^lat two o&rs were received by the govern- ^^nant. one ^om Mr. P. L. Connor, Manager

thw^dJQtmental Cordage Company, Brantford, and the other from Mr. John HalJam, of the City of Toronto. Mr. Con- nor’s tender was the highest by 7 1-2 cents on thgJiOO pounds of output, and. Conser- vative though he was, tbe contract was awarded him in conformity with the prao*-

' tice of the government. It appears that the Connors were part-

ners of Messrs. Nioholas & Michael Con- nolly in the Continental Twine and Cord- age Company of Brantfoi'd, and for busi- ness reasons they thought it ' advisable to Bell their contract at the Central Prison to the Cousumc-re’ Cordage Company on the condition that tho Cordage Company should repay them cortaia moneys which they ex- pended or invested in couuoctioa with the Central Prison contract. Arraugenients were made to this effect with Mr. Heddle on behalf of tbe Consumers’ Cordage Com- pany, subject to the approval of the gov-

ir-mment, but ae tbe government refused to put tbe binder twine of Ontario into the hands of Mr.- Heddle, and thus into the hands of a cordage combine, the transfer was not completed. Tbe bargain was suffi-

^cieiUly far advanced,the Connollys thought, 'to warrant them iti suing the GordagcGom-

r^pany for the amount of mouey which they had iu’/ested in the Ontario Government

'"^In the course of the trial Mr. i, who 9ft!) Manager of the Consum-

Cordt^gCojopauy, was examined as IntMawicw respecting tha item of

K ' itiUm sworn evidence he does not

speak of his own knowledge of this trans- action at all, for it appears that he had no oommonicatidn whatever with any member of the Government or with any officer of tbe Central Prison ; his evidence is purely hearsay and consists chiefly of what he thought Mr. Connor told him. In fact it appears that he doubted Mr. Connor’s statement that the money was spent for politiool purposes, as tho follow- ing question and answer will show :—

“Question—When Mr. Connor spoke to you about this, did he leave any doubt in your mind as to what it was for ? Was ho positive or was he not positive ?

“ Answer—He spoke positively, but I bad grave doubts and I thought he kept it in his pocket.”

Now, on the strength of the evidence of Mr. Fulton, which was only secondhand it is insinuated that the Connors, who were contractors with the Government, had made a large advance for election purposes. A copy of the charge made in The Toronto World was sent by Mr. Havty to Mr. Connolly, who was then in Philadelphia. On the 9th of June Mr. Connolly wrote the following letter, addressed to the Hon. Mr. Harty

“Montreal, Juno 9, 1898.

“Hon. Wm. Harty, Commissioner of Public Works, Kingston. Ont. : “ Dear sir,—A day or so before leaving

Philadelphia I received your letter, the date of which I have forgotten, with a clipping from The World newspaper of Toronto stating that John Connbr, under oath, bad testified that tbo Consumers’ Cordage Company had paid him $7,250, which he used in your election in Kingston of the same year, aud thereby secured, in his brother’s name, the contract for tbe manufacture of binder twine in the Central Prison, Toronto, from the Government of Ontario.

MAllow mo to say that the statement in The World ia false in every particular. The Consumers’ Cordage Company never paid, nor never claimed to have paid, one cent to Mr. Connor on account of the Kingston election, nor did Mr. Connor state that he received any money from the Consumers’ Cordage Company for such purpose or had expended a dollar for your election.

‘•At the same time Mr. Fulton examined by Mr. Casgrain, who, I presume, was possibly anxious to try aud make political capital out of it, did state that Connor had told him that this sum of $7,had been applied to the election of Mr. Harty in Kingston, but on this point hia evidence is, contradicted both by Mr. Connor and myself. You can understand when I say that the lawyers for the Consumers’ Cordage Co. in this case were Mr. Mc- Master, a politician ; Mr. Casgrain, a member of Parliament, and the Hon. Mr. Angers, ex-member of Tupper’s Cabinet, that they would try and moke as much political capital as possible out of this. Mr. Connor stated on oath, and under crosa-examination by Mr. Casgrain, Q.C., counsel for tho Consumors’ Cordage Co. :—

“ Q—Now I want you to tell me—to swear whether it is not a fact that you told Mr. Fulton that this $7,250 was to go towards the election of tho Hon. Mr. Harty in Kingston.

“A.—I swear positively that I never made that statement to Mr. Fulton.”

“Should you like to get a certified ex- tract of Mr. Connor’s deposition referring to this incident I shall be very glad to have one forwarded to you, which you can publish, and will be a complete refutation of this slander as far as you are concerned.

“I am sorry to see such a silly attempt to make political capital by a deliberate perversion of facts. Yours very truly (signed), M. Connolly.”

In this letter two things are to be noted : (1) There is Mr. Connolly’s own positive statement that the Consumers’ Cordage Co. never paid, nor never claimed to have paid one cent to Mr. Connor on account of the Kingston election. (2) There is the direct evidence of Mr. Connor himself that he never stated to Mr. Fulton that this money was expoinWbt^lïÿi^^ (hQ election of the Hon. Mr. Harty at Kiu^to^'

OTTAWA, June 27th.—This is the season of the year in which the vacation epidemic largely prevails at the Capital, and every outgoing train carries away from tbe city its quota of inhabitants on holiday plea- sures and recreation bent. The extension of a session of parliament so far into the summer, as the last session, makes the season’s exodus from Ottawa more notice- able than would otherwise be the case. The descent from the dignity of a capital to the quiet plodding of a progressive city comes with annual regularity but it is an occurrence which excites less notice or re- gret year by year so rapid is becoming the growth of the city in importance and size. Not so very long agoOfctawa,during the par- liamentary recess, was a far different place froinOttawa when parliament was assembl- ed.Then it needed tho session to give lifeand vigor to the city, but now, a wonderful change has come over the situation. The city has undergone a marvellous growth daring the past decade, both in its business enterprise and its ijopulation, and its pro- gress shows no sign of abatement as the seasons pass. Beyond the precincts of the government buildings tbe desertion of the city by the vacationists for seaside, mout- aiu or lakeside is now little felt. Those, of course, having buslnosa with the gov- ernment will soon find scarcely a corporal’s guard of tho Miulsters loft at the Capital, .while, too, departmental offices will be largely thinned of thek numerous tenantry.

The flouriahing conditions at Ottawa are but an inde.K of that steadily increasing prosperity which entered the borders of the Dominion with tho advent to power of the present administration. It is said that the industrial and commercial interests of the country are everywhere advancing by leaps and bounds and our Tory friends well know that to attempt to make light of this fact would bo folly in tho face of the evi- dence lo the point from ail parts of the land. They go so far, however, iuto the realm of the ridiculous as to attrioute the present good limes to the natural results flowing from their twenty years of govern- ment in tbo Dominion. But ihoir long

period of labor 1ms only brought forth a peculiar party vanity which has been carefully nurtured during their season of uninterrupted success, until it has grown 80 extensive as to overwhelm their common sense and sober judgment when consider- ing the results produced by the sound policy of their opponents.

Tbe official trade returns of Canada’s foreign trade for the fiscal year ending on the 30th inst., will soon be made public. From what we already know by tha trade returns for the eleven months ended May 31st, we can rest satisfied that the showing will not only be of the most encouraging character, but will be unprecedented in the history of the Dominion. Up to May 31st last, the figures show an increase in foreign trade of over forty-three and a half mil- lions of dollars in value as compared with the year previous, and tho increase in revenue was $1,852,678. The trade for only eleven months of the fiscal year is thus shown to be very much larger than the total trade of last year, or of any pre- vious year since the union of the provinces. It is said that our neighbors to the south of us are rejoicing considerably over their trade record for the year, particularly in respect to that relating to exports ; yet if a comparison bo drawn, based upon the rates of population of the two countries, it will be found that the export trade of the Dominion was far greater in proportion to population than that of the United States. l'ace to face with this happy re- cord of to-day and looking forward to the prospect of more glowing returns in the nearer future, it might be asktd whether the government of to-day was any factor at all in the devolopement of this prosper- ity or in promoting its progress and per- manency, or are the present conditions merely an uncontrollable incident in the march of time. If such a state of things bad happened during the administration of a Tory government, would that party have claimed any credit for tho change of con- dition ?

There is not wanting abundant evidence to show that the disposition of the Tory party has been, and still is at all hazards to block every move of tho government in its efforts to enlarge its plana for the country's advancement. It is only fair to add, however, that the opposition seems to be solely actuated by the one desire and aim to discredit the Ministry. To effect this purpose the government has, in one now famous instance, been thwarted through the medium of the Senate in a measure which would have added material- ly to the immediate progress of the Dominion, and which could have been con- summated without any additional burden upon the country. The defeat of the Yukon railway bill has not only brought great loss to the commercial and trans- portation interests of Canada, but is al- ready causing much distress to thousands who were led to adopt the Stickeen route to the gold fields of the Yukon through Sir Charles Tupper’s endorsation of the gov- ernment’s scheme by that route. Recent reports show that about 3,000 Klondike pilgrims are now stranded at Glenora and Telegraph Creek unable to proceed any further towards their destination. For the great loss which has been occasioned these people and the country, the Senate alone is responsible. But the government has not abandoned further efforts to proper- ly open the Yukon region. Within the past few days three exploration parties have been sent out from Ottawa, two of which will start from Edmonton to explore routes through to the headwaters of the Felly river, and a third party is to enter from the coast by the Stickeen river. They all propose to meet in the heart of a new gold region, one which^it is said will supercede the famed Klondike, and upon comparing notes determine upon the most feasible overland route. It is to bo hoped that when the new scheme is submitted to the next session of parliament, it may not meet with the same fate of its pre- decessor which failed, as many another, merely because it emanated from a Lib-

ANGUS AND THE BULL

Angus believes that if any of his neigh- }org secg a baigt or anything else lig is elUng or sending to marinât it will be nade valuelesa or aa he says hunself, it ?ill be under the spoil of the evil eye. He lad a bull to send to market a short time go and for fear an^ person would see him le left homo with the bull durlug the night. Vith the expectation that he could manage he business quietly, he let the bull out of he barn and begau driving him before him. .’ho poor animal went away at a light and vfily rate, thinking that he was going on a isit to a neighbor’s barn. Angus eeorotlj ejoiced at getting along so Quietly when li-j bull notic- d the first barn that was on be way and not wishing to leave without iking ' farewell of his good neighbor or

' erhaps tbinkiug that he was at bis journ- , y's end, let a roar that yon would think rould split the rooks. If ho did, the lountaine echoed it from every side, as if ney had bursted from top to bottom, ‘he poor animal imagined that another utl answered, so he put himself in battle rray and let off another bellow greater

the first one, and if he djd, it was uswered by the mountains with the 3copd echoing—thus the uproar began— 46 bull bellowing, the mouniains auawe)^' ig and to crown matters, the dogs began ) bark. Angus attempted to control the all but it was worse ho got. James was oendiog the evening at a neighbor’s house hen he heard the noise thought that one ( his cows got loose in the barn, so he urried home as fast as his legs would carry im. When he reached home he found is wife and young lad weeping and dressed eady to leave the house. “What is the latter with you ?” asked he. They told im that there was a frightful bsllowiug round the house and that they were going 0 run away as they feared the devil was lose. But, they said, “ whatever it was, ;ft.” James went in the direction in rhiuh the uproar was. People mst him nd some Uid hold of him, all in an enquir- ng mood running in the direitiou from vhicb the noise cams,, to learn what was t-roiss. At IsBt thjyhen the firing began, Ljeut.-Col. î^)osevol| took the right- v» ing, with tho Trooiis G and K, under Captains Llew- ellyn and Jenkins, and moved to tho sup- port of Capt. Capron. At tho same time Col. Wood and Major Brodio took the left wing and advanced in open order on tho Spanish right wing. Major Brodie was wounded before tho troops had ad- vanced 100 yards. Col. Wood then took the right wing and shifted Col. Roosovolt to the left.

In tho meantime the firo of tho Spani- ards had increased in volurao, . but. not- withstanding this, an ordor for a gonornl - charge was given, and the men sprang forward. Col. Roosevelt led the advance. On tho right wing Capt. McClintock suffered a fracture of the leg from a machine gun ball, while four of his men went down. At the same time Capt. Luna of Troop F lost ono of his men. Thon the reserves, Troops K and E, ordered up. Col. Wood, >v|th thy right wing, charged straight at the blookbouso 800 yards awoy, and Col. Roosevelt, on

iefti, uharged at tie same time. The men did not stop to return the fire of the Spaniards, but advancod with a dotcr- minatlon'to capture tho blockhouse. When within 600 yards of the coveted point, tho Spaniards broke and ran.

With the exception of Capt. Capron, all Rough Rldor.s killed in yesterday’s

fight were buried this morning on the field of action. Their bodies were laid in one long trench, each .wrapped in a blan- ket. Palm leaves lined the trench and wore heaped in profusion over the dead.

Capt. Capron’s body was brought into Juaragua this afternoon, but it was deemed inadvisable to send tho remains north at this season, and tho interment took place on a hillsido near the seashore.

During the fight in tho thicket several of tho troops did some wild shooting Into the troops ahead of them, and tho Amer- ican loss is due to this fact. As soon as tho position had been changed the Amer - loans poured a more terrific fire than ever into tho Spaniards as they got them into more open country and could see them better.

When the flames wore first noticed, they were in the roar of tho big hotel, in the room ovor the kitchen, and, although tho alarm was promptly given and tho entire fire departments from both sides of the river responded promptly, the water supply in this partlouluor portion of tho town was not equal to tho demand.

The fire was noticed about 13 o’clock and burned fiercely until 2 o’clock. The flames that shot out of every window and towered high iu the air, scoinod to laugh at tho futile attempts of tho laddies with their toy streams of water, and when they had exhausted their fury the largo four-storeyed hotel, with its shady veran- dahs, supported with immense pillars, stood out a total wreck, tho walls only standing to mark tho spot of the world- wide hostelry, that had been the home durlng.^tho sununor of tho best of families of America, as well as Europe. The hotel counted amongst its many guests tho royal families of Europe who have visited

The hotel was .a four-storeyed, largo stone roughcast faced building, of letter “L” shape, with a court in the contre that contained a regular greenhouse of cool and shady promenades. The bnllding contained 250 rooms, which woro all very expensively furnisliod. and only the very best of tho travel was catered for.

BREEDS OF CHICKENS

HOW TO GRADE UP FLOCKS OF

SCRUB FOWLS.

Advantases of Maintaining a Singlo Breed.

Similar Food and Temporatare Adapted

to All Birds of a Kind — All Round

Merits of Plymouth Rooks.

We have frequently advocated tho grading up of flocks of scrub fowl, say.s Tho American Cultivator, by getting .a well bred male to run with them and continuing to select the best pullets for another cross into tho same breed, though proferredly not to tho same bird. And wo think now this is an excellent plan, but not necessarily the best one

that could be adopted. If ono has tho money to expend, it takes but little more to get a breeding pen of some good breed and from their eggs to raise up a flock that ono can bo proud of. Tho uni- formity of size, form and color will bo but a small part of the benefit derived from having them all alike. They can all be fed alike and treated alike to pro- duce like results—no danger of having some growing too fat upon the food that just keeps others in good laying condi- tion. If tho hciihouso is warm enough for one bird, another will not suffer from cold. If some of them make good chickens for roasting or broiling, all should do so. This is one of tho little

p-uint.-i vriiicfi reauco poultry Keeping to an e.xact science. Tho man whoso hens are all of one breed should soon learn how to caro for them to keep them healthy and productive, but he that has a mixed up lot of mongrels would need to bo deeply learned in tho business to know how to obtain from each one the best results of which it was capable.

Having tried most of the common breeds of fowls, says a writer In Tho Rural New Yorker, I believe that for the everyday average fanner who wish- es to keep poultry on a small scale no breed will an.swer so well as tho Plym- outh Rocks. Placing them side by side with other kinds, they will lay nearly as many eggs as eitlier tho White or Brown Leghorns. If one have customers whom he supplies by tho week, aiming to keep this up by tho year round, sure- ly the Plymouth Rocks will do more to fill tho basket each week in tho year than any other. They also lay tho lar- gest sized eggs. My experience with Plymouth Rocks has taught me that no breed will stand tho cold and thrive with them. Tho old birds will lay in tho fall until tho pullets begin, thus in- suring a constant supply. I have heard of great results obtained from Leghorns in winter, but have never been able to get them to do anything extra. They are too small for sitting, although the bro'svn Loghom is faithful to her nest, but being so timid as they are it is un- pleasant to handle them. I would advise using only the Plymouth Rocks for in- cubation, as they will cover a good number of eggs, are easily handled aud make the mother.

Gapes In Chickens.

The cause of gapes is a small worm, something resembling a fishworm, only smaller. It lodges in tho throat, caus- ing a choking or gaping of tho chick, aud instead of being swallowed it ro- mains in the throat and broods tboro in such numbers as soon to choke tho chick to death. There is a small gapeworm exterminator iu the fonn of a loop wire that can bo inserted iu the windpipe and withdraw the worm. You can purchase these at almo.st any poultry supply house. What has proved the best reme- dy with me is about two drops of tur- pentino injected down tho throat either with a small syringe or machino oil can. This will usually dislodge them and give the chick relief,. This worm infests only certain soil and one may have gapes iu its worst form, on ono part of the farm and have no signs of it less than a fourth of a mile away. If one’s flock is badly afftclod by them, I would recommend a change of runs for the ohicks and you will usually see the jliseasa disappear.—Theodore Howes in Breeder’s Gazette.

Keroiea* Emoliiion.

A thorough spraying with kerosene emulsion or with a solution of carbolic acid with a pump that will force tho fluid into every seam, crock and corner, will cleanse the main part of the build- ing, roof and all, or a thorough smok- ing with sulphur will do it. When thi^ is done, the hens will • feel as proud as you would if your rooms were now pa- pered and carpeted, and unless they have been doing their ko.st before thoy will try to do it afterward.—American Cultivator.

Tlza*ly Food.

After the bens commence to lay thoy do not require or evenoonsume as much food as just before beginning to lay. When laying, their craving is for vege- tables, animal substances, crushed hone and shell matter. They mu.st have thoaf if eug production is kept up.

POULTHr PriMER.

Oardinni Po•n^^^ oT Interest to Be- giunir.^ til ntiRlncss.

It is true v.-c learn by doing and gain knowledge every day, and that there are not a few who know at least the set- tled facts about tho proper care of poul- try. But a small army of beginners is with us every year, and it is principally to these that this raodc.st article is ded- icated.

Preper and due proportion of care in the management of poultry is worth whole pints of medicine.

Caro means a naturally warm house in winter and plenty of shado in sum- tier.

It also includes proper exercise, clean and wholesome food, clear water, grit, charcoal and a constant warfare waged winter and .summer against vermin, principally iicc.

Medicine should only bo needed in isolated cases. - Wheu a whole flock is iSick or out of condition, something is radically wroug.

Sick fowls should immediately be put in a place out of siglit and hearing of the rest of the flock and they alone be given drugs.

There is no sense and often much harm in drugging a whole flock to euro a few sick individuals. Medicines should never be given in water which is contained in metallic vessels.

Warm mash in tho morning, as much as will be eaten up clean and greedily in five minutes; wheat, oats and buck- wheat buried deeply in litter for all day exorcise and parched v.'hole corn in moderate quantities just before going to roost for lots of eggs.

For largest yield of eggs keep in mod- erate confinement, undisturbed by dogs, boys, etc., and add to the above ration lean meat, cut bone, grit, charcoal, cru.shed oyster shells, plenty of green feed, a little cayenne pepper, boiled beets and all table scraps that are not greasy or tainted.

When you want the eggs for hatch- ing, introduce a vigorous male, drop the mash aud cayenne pepper, cut down the grain one-half and double tho lean meat, oyster shells and green feed or open tho gates, aud if the range is good aud weather and season favorable food nothing but grain and leave the rest to nature.

Such change of feed and treatment should be done gradually—a mouth is nouo too long. Then use your eggs for hatching, not before.

Do not be surprised if, say, your 60 hens woro laying 30 to 85 eggs daily all winter they drop down to 20 or 25. This is what you arc after, and as tho spring se:ison advances aud the range U good they will again get back to their original number of eggs daily, particu- larly if they are of the nousittiug variety.

Free, unlimited range for growing chicks, H sharp lookout for vermin day aud night all summer long, pinhead oatmeal, whole meal, bread and milk the first two weeks, then gradually change to whole wheat, boiled clipped oats and millet seel. Better, though, feed this last only in such quantities as to furnish a variety. In this way only also should cracked corn and cornmoal mush bo fed to growing chicks.

Free range, plenty of shade aud loose soil, good feed and clear water are tho essentials in the growth of young chicks. Such treatment makes large, early ma- tured aud vigorous cockerels and causes piilict.s to begiu laying at 4)^ months.

Tho incubator may not beat tho hen, but the broutler will at a gallop.

Green bone cutters, clover cutters and mills to tfrush oyster shells are indis- pensable to profitable poultiy keeping.

You ciui buy ycur clover cut and your grit aud oy.stcr shells crushed, but green bone .should be cut at home, tho fre.sher the betti.r.

Clover is rich iu nitrogen and lime. No nooltryman can afford to siint .his*

flocks In this feed, especially in winter. Do not believe that a dunghill has

anything in common with a real thor- oughbred—not in eggs, not in weight, not iu growth, not in vigor.

Buy your stock from a live ponltiy- man. Bo slow in making cros.scs, aud never use a male for breeding that is a cross.—Ohio Poultry Journal. ‘

KalBr Corn For Fowls.

Kaffir corn i.s now a common crop with the farmers of the somiarid re- gion of the southwest, being extensive- ly grown in Kansas, Indian Territory, Texas, cto. It is a nonsacchariue varie- ty of sorghum in which tho nutriment instead of partially remaining iu tho stack, as with the saccharine varieties, finds its way largely to the grains or kernels borne in the head or top of the plant. Tho seeds arc about twice tho size of ordinary sorghum seeds and aro rich with starch. Kaffir com can bo used with satisfaction as a food for all classes of farm animals, chickens in- cluded. The early varieties should ripen satisfactorily with onr correspondent, aud I recommend that ho try thi.s grain as a feed for fowls, remembering that it should bo used in addition with rath- er than in substitution for the common irains. The seed can bo ordered through ôoedsmon and should be planted aud cultivated the same as corn. Sinoo the English sparrow is fond of this grain and the heads are unprotected great damage is often wi’ought to tho ripened corn through those pests.—W. A. Hen- ry in Breeder’s Gazette.

Feedinfc Ducklings.

The system of feed for ducklings, says a correspomlont of Tho Country Gentleman, is very simple. After hav- ing tried numero’as complicated mix- tures at tho start, 1 have finally settled on a very common formula. The first meal, after being placed in tho brooder, Is commeal and bran equal parts, with a liberal handful of coarse sand intro- duced, all thoroughly mixed with cold water and fed iu a moist consistency. After they are 2 days old I add a small quantity of soaked beef scrap.s. This mixture should be fed flvo times daily, but only just as much as they will eat up clean. They should always come up to the feed board lively and hungry.

We buy and sell more flour than any firm in Alexandria and are the the only firm that sells nothing but No. 1 quality flour, every bag with name of makers. We would be ashamed to buy a third grade flour and sell it for No. 1, but it is done by some here in Alexandria, and not by accident either, they know when they buy it that it is a third grade, they know when they sell it. But they justify themselves or try to by saying, “we have to do it to compete with Simpson.”

Bees and Poftches<

Tho Florida experiment station iso- lated two peach trees, exposing ono to a colony of bees during flowering time and preventing all access by bees to the other. Both trees set their fruit prop- erly, but the one to which bees had no access dropped its fruit when the stone was forming, while tho other retained and matured it. Score another one for the bees.—American Bee Journal.

Kerosene is an extremely penetrating material, and a single drop on an insect will got into every body opening aud into the spiracles, causing almost im- mediate convulsions and death. It acts at once, or not at all, says Entomologist Smith of the New Jersey station.

The statement that timothy hay is less digestible by horses than by cattle will be a surprise to many. It is credit- ed to Profe.ssor Patterson of the Mary- knd station.

Country Gentleman tells that it Is tha practice in Oswego county, N. Y., to allow beds of strawberries to fruit but one year.

At tho New York experiment station potassium sulphide treatment gave best results as a remedy for gooseberry mil- dew, while formalin was found to be of little avail.

PROSTSATED, EXHAUSTER.

She could not havo stood this much longer, and it was only when death seemed Imminent that South American Nervine became the good pliy- siclan. After taking the first dose of the Nervine she slept all night, and gained In flesh until perfectly well, and has now no sign of uervousnoss.” This is a wonder- ful medicine In tho severest cases of ner- vousness, and the greatest flesh-builder to be found anywhere in the world. ^25.

A NEW MACHINE

Hodgson is nothing if not up to date. The.^test addition to the plant of the Hobson Bros. Boot & Shoe Manufacturing Go. here, is a new nailing maohino from the McKay Metallic Fasteniug Association, put in place yesterday by P. W. Knowlton, of that firm. The machine is convenient,neat and compact, and has a capacity of nailing on 1600 pairs of soles daily. It does its work excellently and with wonderful rapidity, . The machine, like all other machines controlled by the association, is not sold but leased, but this fact only guarantees its efficiency.

RETURNED FROM THE WEST

Alexander and Mrs. McIntosh and little son, Donald H., who 'have for some years been residing in Esoanaba, Mich., arrived here on Friday of last week and drove out to Dunvegan where they will remain for a few weeks prior to taking up their permanent residence at Mr. MQ- Intosh’s farm at Skye.

, H.S.E. & P.SX. EXAMS.

The High S,ohool Entrance and Public School Leaving Examinations were held this week, beginniugan Tuesday and end- ing yesterday throughout the province. The. number writing at the High School here was not as large as usual owing to the fact that that candidates from the western portion of the district were writing at Maxville. There were 86 candidates writ- ing for H.S. Entrance here and only five for Public School Leaving. In Maxville^ the number writing was also large, Messrs. McKay and Stewart and Miss O’Brien were the presiding examiners here and W.B. MoDiarmid in Maxville.

SATURDAY’S LACROSSE MATCHES

In the senior league matches, on Satur- day, the Capitals heat the Cornwalls by 6 games to 1, while in Montreal the Torontos defeated the Nationals by a score of 5 games to 8.' In Ottawa the game was a rather one sided one, owing to the weak- ness of CornwaU’s home. The defence, however, put up a magnificent game. To- day in Cornwall these teams meet again, and as it is expected that Cornwall’s home will \>e considerably strengthened, we need hot be surprised to find a defeat for the Capitals. Should they win a victory it will be a hard fought one.

THE BANK OP OTTAWA

The new branch of the Bank of Ottawa was opened out here this week, with Jas. Martin, late of Kemptvillo, os manager, and J. R. Moffatt, late of Pembroke, as accountant. The premises are situated in

be seen by the card appearing in another column, the Bank of Ottawa is of A 1 financial standing having a paid up capital of 81,600,000 and a surplus of 81,125,000, and we have no doubt that they will find the Alexandria branch a well paying one. Both Messrs. Martin and Mofiatt have had considerable experience in the banking business and we welcome them as citizens of the town.

The boys from all aoôéçnû are thoroughly enjoying their outing Md for good 'conduct, soldierly appearance and clc se discipline, they are second to none in tbe battalion. They will prol»bly arrive borne by the regular train Saturday evening, when a warm welcome

An old and highly respected resident of Vankleek Hill passed away at that place on Thursday of last week in the person of Catherine MoLaurin, relict of the late Dougald Cameron, of Brcadalbane. Mrs. Cameron was born in Scotland 87 years ago emigrating at the ago of 7 years with tbe other members of her family to this country. For some years she has been a resident of Vankleek Hill. She leaves a family of two daughters and three sons. She also leaves one sister, Mrs. Colin Mc- Laurin, of San Francisco, Cal. Her hus- band predeceased her some seven years-ago.

Their many friends in these parts were very much pleased to see Mr. and Mrs. McNab in thoir native coun- try on:e more. They will also be pleased to know that they are enjoying the host of health and are well pleased with the South American country in which they live. They will spend a few months here before returning to Argentina. Yesterday Sheriff McNab, John and Mrs. McNab and their little son, passed through here on a visit to friends at Douglas, Renfrew County, Ont.

DR. BRYCE’S VISIT

Dr. Bryce, Secretary of the Provincial Board of Health, was in town last week at the request of the Local Board, to ex- amine into the source of our water supply, and the- mode of disposal of sewage. He pronounced the water of excellent quality and would recommend the council to pass a by-law to have all wells closed up and to force people to use the waters orks water wherever it could be supplied. He advised the Board to take immediate action to pre- vent drainage from cheese factories into the River de Lisle and satisfactory arrange- ments have, we understand, been made with both the Union and Dornie factories in the matter. As to the disposal of sew- age, he would take no responsibility on his own shoulders, but thought the system used by some, of having drains leading to tbe river was better than the old method. He would recommend the council to lay down a sewer at a cost not exceeding 84000 a mile, by which sewage could be disposed of by a system of tanks immediately east of the village in a way that wouldn’
