You muy feed plenty of hard corn end get few eggs. Fowl: can not be expected to 'shell out' many eggs it they have un- comfortable plaeeas in cold weather." "Farmers, as a rule, pay but little attention to poultry. Most of them, however, have a few running about the barnyard, but give them little or no cure, Possibly a pailful of grain is thrown out to them once, or at most, twice a week. If you ask the general run of farmers whether they give any of their time to poultry, the answer usually is, 'well, no; the women folks gather what eggs there are, and raise a few young ones, but they don't pay.' No, of course they don't pay, when not looked after. Would their cattle, their horses, or their swine pay if they were) attended to in such a slip shod ridieur ous fashion? Poultry will not pay un- less properly cared for and attended to. I propose, in this short‘ article, to en- deavor to show that poultry will pay and pay well-even more so than cattle or swine, when you take into consider- ation the amount of capital invested. Care is really the most important part of the routine and management of poultry. To raise fowls and make them protitsble requires time and care. Fowls must be furnished with clean, fresh water, comfortable quarters, and wholesome food,in such quantities that it will not become fouled or wasted.~To attend to all these things requires time and care,but without time or care what profit or success comes in any line of effort? As to the profit or loss, that will depend upon the care they receive. Fowls cannor thrive on stagnant water or on an occasional men of food, any more than human beings can thrive upon it. There should be as much care in providing water as there is shown in providing food. Upon the no care principal, no profits will be the come queuce. Poultry, like all other domes. At the Poultry Convention held at New Hamburg some excellent address. es were delivered, and several interest- ing papers read on the care of poultry, and the protits arising from the Produc. tion of egsor.Probably the best of these was that delivered by Mr. Thomas A. Duff. 3 practical farmer who has, evi- dently, devoted a great deal of atten- tion to the subiect.Among other things Mr. Duff said l The Supreme Court of Canada, on Tuesday, In the constitutional case re- ferred by the Governor-General in Council,inw lving thequrstion whether the Provincial LLg'slntures have power to totally prohibit the liquor trstfie,tit. cided that the Provincial Legislatures had not the power. t The matter will likely be referred to,the Privy Council in England, to be finally disposed of. The Globe says the general effect of the decisions has been to allow th, Legultxtttres to license and regulate thr sale, and the Dominion Parliament to' control manufacture and importation, while the latter body has also the pow- er to pass a. general prohibitory law or a local option prohibitory law like the l Scott Act. The power of the Legisla- ture to pass a local option law is in some doubt. It appears that upon the special reference the Supreme Court gave its opinion that the Ontario Le gislature had no power to enact local option, but that upon'an actual case it gave a. contrary deciaion. the eonftict being attributed to a change in the per sonnel of the court. within may reach of the county seat but will also obtain for them C.

Smashing the glass,they each uttered a cry for assist- ance. A thrill of horror went through those who saw the three human forms appear at the window 70 feet above, with the flames, sweeping in awful fury beneath them. A thousand indiscrset voices: shouted "Jump,"but the fireucen signalled them to stay,and these injune tions they fortumtely obeyed. THE LIFE sumo NET. The life-saving net was procured from the Lombard street waggon and held by willing hands beneath. A wire ran directly from the window in which the endangered trio stood down to the sec- ond story of the building.The quick eye of a fireman saw this, and he shouted to them to grasp the wire and slide‘ down the wall. His voice was drowned l in the roar of the fumes and failed to reach the ears of those for whom it, was intended. Another moment and the spectators stood breathless: as the al. most nude form of'a woman was seen to fall through mid air from the win- dow above, turning over and over as she descended. The three hundred wires which were strung along the south side of Malinda street broke the rapidity of her fall. She turned a com- plete somersault before she cleared their network, and fell into the waiting net which the iiremen held. A rug was thrown around her, and she was car- ried into the Crown hotel,awaiting the arrival of the ambulance. While the husband and nume watched the peri- lous leap of Mrs. Caven they forgot the danger in which they themselves A LEAP Foil LIFE.

One rea- son for this is perhaps the fact that it mainly consisted of pa; er tightly pack- ed, in which condition it was not of a very infhumnable character. run was UNDER CONTROL, At 8.30 the floors and roofs of the buildings on the north side of the street that remained intact tell in.

Had it not been for this there is very little probability that the l fire would have been far more extensive and disastrous than it actually was.

Shortly liter the commencement of the fire on this side of the street the the upper part of the Brereton build. ing fell in with a huge noise.
