We only have to go back as far as 1887 8, in the his- tory of our own township of \rle- tuesia and we will find the tlieu Heere not only "preaching," but "practicing" as well. Acting as magistrals, he, on Nov. 19th, 1H87, sentenced Joseph Miller to six mouths iu gaol, for vagrancy ; Jan. 2nd, 1888, one Henry Origston, to three moiuhs in gitol, for vagrancy, and again on 22nd Nov., 1888, Joseph Miller received another sii months' sentence for vagrancy. Uf course he was perform- ing his duty under law, but why did he not "keep them at houi6 with their frieiido '.'" Then during tho regime of this eanii! prat-tifin r, preaching ollicial, still acting under the official cloak, the Itoylc family were dealt with, taken over as it w< n . ttitii their farm, as wards of tire towmhip.

This preference for white or yellow skin, is doubtless, all a matter of faney, the probability is that not one I eiH'.n in tifty could tell after a fowl is roasted whether it ori|/iiuilly possessed white skin or yellow, and an neither the shanks ur beak appear on thu table it wi.ulii seem a matter of indifference what color they were. Such, however, in m.t the casa, tlie public have their whiinx, and if you wish to sell your poultry to llio best advantage you must humor those whims. You will tiud it much easier to do this than to change public opinions to your own way uf linking. If your f*wla have white skin and white or black shanks, the best time, you ean tin is to get rid of them. You can never produce tint class table fo* l as long as you breud such stock.
