Unless you want to go into it extensively it need take but very little of your time. Government reports show that the demand for chickens in Canada is greatly in excess of the supply and Great Britain is always clamoring for more. That means a steadv market and good prices for chickens. You cannot raise chickens success- fully with a setting hen. She is wast- ing time setting when she should be laying. While she is hatching .;nd brooding a few chickens she could be laying five or six dozen eggs. The percentage of ehicketis she hatches is much less than that produced by the Chatham Incubator. It will pay you to own a Chatham Incubator. Chatham Incubators contain every improvement of importance in Incu- bator construction that has been pro- duced. They are made of thoroughly seasoned wood, with two walls, case within case. Between these walls mineral wool is packed forming the very best insulation. Each piece of the case is mortised and grooved and screwed, making the whole as .solid as a rock. Chatham Incubators are equipped with scientifically perfect regulators which are an infallible means of regulating the temperature. No cash to pay until October, 1905. We will start you raising poultry for profit with a Chatham Incubator without one cent of money from you until next Fall. That means that you can take off seven or eight hatches and make considerable money out of the Incubator before the first payment becomes due. We couldn't make this offer if we were not certain that if } ou accept it you will get complete satisfacticii, if we were not positive that the Chatham Incubator will pay you a handsome yearly income. This is a straightforward offer. We make it to show our supreme confi- Jcifce in tlie Chatham Incubator. We want you to accept this offer as we are sure of the satisfaction our Incu- bator will give. Every machine we have put out so far has made other sales in the same neighborhood Dur offgr i» to send you a Chatham Incubator at once, freight prepaid by u» without one cent of oath from you. You make y^ur first payment in October, 1906. The balance to be paid In October, 1906, or if a Cash Buyer you get it cheaper. Could any offer be fairer or more generous ? Smith Thus. Oxt..

Mount Urydges, Ont., Jan. 16. â€" (Speciaf.Jâ€" That Oodd's Kidney PilLs cure Bright's Di.sea.se completely and permanently has been clearly shown in the case of Mr. Robt. Bond, a well-known resident of this place Mr. Bond does not hesitate to say he owes his life to Dodd's Kidney Pills. "My attending physician," Mr. Bond states, "said I was in the last stages of Bright's Disease and that there was no hope for me. I then commencefl to use Dodd's Kidney Pills and no othea- remedy. I used in all about twenty boxes whou my doctor pronounced me quite well. I have had no return of the trouble since." Bright's Di.sease is Kidney Disease in its worst form. Dodd's Kidney Pills always cure it. They also eas- ily cure milder forms of Kidney Complaint.

Mootrval.Torooto, OtUwa, QuebMi "This war will end when Russia asks for terms of peace, or, in the contrary event, when the last Jap- anese creature of either .sex, capable of bearing arms, dies fighting against her." Such was the empha- tic declaration of Mrf .Arthur Diosy, P.U.G.S., founder of the Japan So- ciety of London, recently. Interven- tion he reg'arded as practically out of the question; Japan would take care not to be swindled a second time. The struggle was likely to affect the commerce of the world to a greater extent than any other war in history. It was a conflict between a retrograde type of civilization, re- presei.ited by a so-called Christiiin nation, and a free and enlightened type, represented by a so-called heathen people. The real cau.se of the war was the prosert condition ami future of China. It was the am- bition of Japan to awaken the Chin- ese, and she would have every ad- vantage in attempting their regener- ation. Hussian success would not, in the lectu;-er's opinion, be well for British trade. Wherever a Chinaman had come under the thumb of the iULssians, he had found it to his ad- vantage to buy other than British goods, and if Russia became all- powerful in China, there would be a great increase in the sale of German. Belgian, and Swiss products, until such time as Russia herself could supply the articles. There was un- doubtedly a danger of a commercial rivalry stronger and fiercer than the world had ever seoi.'. for China was likely to become one of the greatest if not the greatest, of industrial na- tions. In the interval, at all events, this coimtry could keep its mills going to their fullest extent for China would need plant and tools, and a groat deal of tho.se would be supplied by Great Britain. Those who engaged in this business must do so on scientific lines; they must take a leaf out of the German book in the Far Kast. and several leaves out of the Japanese. It would be Worth doing.

In All Its 'Varieties Di.sease is Due to Infection. In all its varieties, pneumonia is due to infection. Twenty years ago even that much was unknown. Now it is an undis- puted fact that the majority of cas- es of this most deadly diseases are cau.sed by a germ known as the : pnenmoccusâ€" or. as it goes about : pairs, the dipplocoecus pneumon- ; iae. 'i hat there are other bacilli' which cause pneumonia is also ad- | initted. How many dilTerent varie- ties ore in this "class is a question, but sev. ral of them have been dis- covered beyond cavil. "Pnc^umonia," sa.vs a distinguisho<l authority, "is caused b.v weakening! of the lungs due to congestion, al- | lowing the inroad of germs which | were in the body before." | Investigations have apparently es- tablished the fact that all the micro- organisms which cause pneumonia enter through the respiratory or- gans. The bacilli are found in large quantities in the mouths and noses and breathing passages of persons in a normal condition of health. In fact, according to a Chicago physi- cian, who made nmny tests, pneu- monia producing germs exist in th» bodies of 45 out of every 100 per- sons, under average normal condi- tions. When pneumonia develops in one lung or both, as the result of a cold, or because of some other depressing fact, it means that the patient is in such a roduced slate that the micro- organism can take hold and multiply. 11 is evident, therefore, that main- taining the general health is the first lesson of prevention.

An Initial Experiment Produces Surprising Results. A new era appears to have opened for Ireland. Not only will she be a manufacturer of tobacco, but she appears likely to be able to grow a good leaf of her own. From the lands of Col. Nugv^nt I3v- erard, in Randalstown. County Meath, twenty acres of tobacco have been harvi^sted. and Professor .J. N. Harper, of Kentucky University, the American tobacco expert, describes it as "a tobacco crop of the highest quality, quite equal to that in Vir- j ginia and Kentucky." Professor Har- per also pronounces the Irish climate | to be almost perfectly suited for to- I bacco culture. Col Everard has been supported by the Irish Diparlmont of Agriculture ami his is the lirst e.xperiment in r producing a tobacco crop in Irelana on a ciimmercial and practical scale. The Department of Agriculture agreed to assist anyone who would experiment with tobacco culture to the extent of ten acres by bearing the cost of the drying and curing plant. Col. Everard agreed to lay down twenty acres. The best pro- curable seed was brought from Vir- ginia, and planted early in the spring, and since Sektemiljer the pro- cess of curing, sorting aitd drying has given employment to a number of local hands. The twei\ty acri^s have yielded about 14,000 poumls weig-ht of leaf. This is a remarkable result for what is pracrically .-iii initial e.xperiment; it is estimated, however, that the av- erage yield per acre will be about 1,000 pounds of tobacco. Dublin manufacturers and experts have valu- etl the samples already grown as high as 16 cents a pound for the best leaves. The Govcrnmont has removed the prohibition against to'nacco culture, and undertakes to refund to the grower one-third of the duty levied. The concession, however, is limited to live farmers to undertake the hea\'y initial .years, and it is iiu- po.ssible to expect cost for this lim- ited period. A NEW PLUG. OF TOBACCO. The Tuckett Tobacco Company! has placed upon the market a : new plug of their celebrated T & B tobacco, which sells at 10 cents. The well-known quality of the to- bacco assures the success of the new venture.
