II. J. tiPROULB, Flesborton Poultry Raising Advancing. At the recent Poultry Instituto meeting in Giiulph, Mr. G. A. Putinan, auporin- tondeiil of Farmers' Institute*, aaid: l'i;til reci-utly the Farmera' Institutu.^ had not piid much attention to the dis- cussion of poultry quoeiion*; in fact prominent inenihers of institutes had at tiniua expressed a distinct avertion to thu discussion of such trivial Bubjeois. Re- cently, however, iho poultry spirit haa developed ninons? the farmers. Many of them have l)ecum;< unlhusiaslio poultry- raiseij, and now niany institutes have Hpecial poultry mcutiiiK.. «t vv'hich export l)oiiliryinen or women lecturn on ».miio phase or phases of the poultry industry. This has caused a rajiid improvement of the farm poultry hu.siuess, hut still yreal- er improvement may bo looked forward to in the noar future. Through the Women's Iiistitutes already organissed, and the local Farmers' Clubs, which are hei.iR organized in different parts of the Province, tha best methods of hous- ins/, breeding, feedinf, marketing, etc., are kept before the people, (t is doubtful if poultry-rai8iiiK«8 an exclusive business would be a tuccoas on nios": of thu (tiitario farms, but each farmer should ^receive a Urge profit from » Hock of 100 or 150 hens treated as a side line. The work of cariue for poultry is light, and can be porformsd by children who often- times bars no other regular oinployment, and who will nearly always develop a love forthe work if they are given sufficient iiiteresl in it. The profit* from farm poultry m»y be greatly inorrased by co- ..peratioh in liuying and «ullini{ stock and products. T o».S, ciP. 1 Onircy. MiO acretl well tinihprert .'^'r'jrma etc. I'PPly to 1!.

It is a useless expciiFe to the country, Alilioiigh P.iforincd, it appeals to be as useless as ever, Bcsi ies, the editor of tins paper never expects to get a scnatorship, or a divorc3. Some person h.is sent us a copy of a paper called " The Biirumg Bush, " This is publisher! by a new religious sect that has sprung up in Wisconsin, Criticism of its tenets'wonldjbe useless, as it is one of the epliemeral land aud cannot exist very long. It is lacliii)g iu one great essential of Chiistianity â€" cliarily. It's sole object appears to bo to venomously attack the great existing religious bodies, instead of attempting to evolve and place before tlie unregenerato something better. The literary standard of the paper i« of an exceedingly low grade, and we fancy the whole outfit will appeal to very lew â€" altliongh anything that calls itself a religion will liud fallow- era ill these days by a few of the foolish lambs who love to be shorn, The Cuban government, now that Uncle Saiti's guiding hand has been withdrawn, has lost no time in gett iiig in a blow at their (luondam guardian that will make him grunt â€" and iucidentallr make others grui:t as well, including many Canadians, and even some Artemesia people, to bring it nearer home. The Cuban govern- ment have introduced a measure making it illegal for aliens to hold property in the island. Whether or not they intend to confiscate property already held by outsiders we cannot say. We can say, however, that if they begin that sort of thing trouble will resultâ€" it will not be emly gruutp, but howls. A most important congress is called for March 81 to April 4 in Toronto, when it is expected 2,000 delegates will be present to disctfts the mission- ary ([uestion. The delegates are made up from the five great churches in Canada. Thii event marks a distinct step in advance towaid a closer federation of at least three t f these ohurolies, and may add material- ly to the cause of church union, which is now before the people, A large degree of unanimity appears to prevail as to the benefits of church union. It is noticeable that in the United States the tendency appears to be a multiplicity of religious bodies --of the making of sects there is no end, as of books. In Canada it is pleasing to note that the tendency is rather towards concentration of effort along church lines, which is as it should be. [o Speaking at Stratford last week Mr, C. M. Hays, manager of the Grand Trunk, said his railway had 3,000 level crussitiga and that it would ccsl $.50,000,000 to abolish these. It is difficult to believe his figuresâ€" one thud the cost of the Grand Trunk Pacificâ€" but if Mr. Hays makes the statement it must be ccrrect, Kven if it amounts to that sum, it must be faced. The people are themselves not wholly blameless for the maimer in which eur railways have been built in the past, aud should bear a portion of the coat of reconstructing crossings. But their eyes have become opened to the folly of allowing unprotected- crossings to exist, and we may look for an improvement in future railway building, providing our legislators do their duty. Inspector of Continuation or Rural High Schools, K. H. Cowley, has re- ported to the Minister of Education a largo increase in this class of institu- tion and marked good resulting. Mr. Cowley says that " in ilie Continua- tion School may be found the solution of the prob'eat of rural cducaiioi.
