Hogs that are closely confined and highly fed require a corrective of some kind to maintain the diges tive system in a normal condition of health, -and the fatter the pig the greater the necessity, Stock Commissioner, F. W. Hod son. When the digestive organs become clogged with fat their abil- ity to digest and assimilate is weak ened. When a hog is running at large, he does not root up the pas ture from pure love of exercise, nor does he do it because of innate cussedness. He roots to obtain some thing for which his system craves. It is this craving that causes a con fined pig to gnaw and at the trough and sides of the pen : and hogs have _ been known to tear apart brick walls in ewuler to get at the mortar. The cause of this unfiatural craving is "not well undefstood. It may be due says Live _ jn part to a lack of ash inthe food; as has already been stales, a ¥ 'may be getting all the grain he «can eat and yet be partially starv- ed because certain requirements of 'the system insufficiently supplied. "It has been attributed by some the resence of intestinal worms; and others to some form of indiges tion. Whatever may be the part played in the animal economy these ances. one thing is clear, that, en, they are supplied hogs are hier, eat better, thrive better, "and, consequently pay better.

The charcoal furnishes the re quired mineral matter which may have been lacking in the food, and is also an excellent corrective for digestive troubles, while the cop perac is a valuable tonic and stom» achic, If the charcoal is at all hard to get its place is taken almost as well by sods or earth rich inhumus, It is questionable, indeed, if there is anything better. thao sods or vege table mold taken from the woodlot. If a small quantity be thrown into each pen daily, it is astonishing to see how much of it the hogs will consume ; and the improved health and thrift of the animals will be a revelation to the feeder that has never before tried it Ground bone, wood ashes, soft coal, old mortar, rotten wood, etc., are also among the substances used and recommended for this purpose. Prof. Henry reports some interesting experiments to test the value of bone meal and hard wood ashes, when given as a supplement to an exclusive corn ration. None of the pigs showed an entirely satisfactory growth, but the difference in favor of those getting bone meal or ashes was very marked. The pigs fed exelusively on corn were most plain- ly dwarfed. When slaughtered the several lots showed no 'difference in the proportion of fat or lean, nor was there any difference in the size or character of the various internal organs, The bones, however, were a most interesting study, The table | given below shows clearly the more | economical gains and the greater | strength of bones in the case of the | animals furnished with ashes or | bone meal.

Each lot of birds was provided with a pen of 5 feet by 5} feet where the birds were kept and fed for six months: The prizes were oftered both for number and weight of the eggs pro- duced ; an account was kept of the cost of feeding as well as the market value of the eggs. The 246 hens competing averag- ed 57 eggs per hen, but the largest number laid was by a variety known as the Imperial, each hen of this breed producing 71 eggs. Six pens of Silver Wyandottes averaged 70; eight pens of Black Orpingtons, 65; and five lots of Buff Orphing- tons but a few points below, nearly 65; then followed Buff Wyandotte, White Leghorns, Golden Wyan- dottes, White Wyandottes, and White Orpingtons, the older breeds ithe Andalusions and the Mincr- cas--coming last with less than 40 eggs. a } So much pa bt e tome to i hale Bp aid to Mr. ing birds we find that the Black paid tg Biss Jor : 0 ton took the first place; a lot of i thirds value of two Tamby ¥lledznd ten lambs damaged by dogs. pullets at seven months old at " t Mr. Doble, $1.40 starting laymg 548 eggs, averaging On motion 0 : ¥ 26 ounces to the dozen; Silver was pau to Mr Jonn a Wyandottes at eleven months old for work on townline Uxbridge a laid 519 egg weighing 23 ounces per ossy alse dozen ; the remaining breeds pro- weighing two ounces The November meeting of the above Council was held at the town ball, Manchester, on Monday last, gth inst.

Under the dictation of the Labor Party the Federal Government has adopted a policy intended to discourage immi- gration of every description, white as well as colored, into the Federat- ed States, and at the same time it has to deal with a rapidly declining birth rate, which, tf not speedily remedied, will result in a largely de- creased population. Recently pub- lished statistics show that the lowest Australian birth rate is only three one thousand above that of ance. A few years ago it was com- siderably higher; but the real decline is shown by the total number of births in wedlock compared with the number of women of child-bearing age. Without going into statistical details it may be mentioned that in New South Wales, between 1886 and 1901, the number of married women increased by 68,219, while the num- ber of children born in 1901 was al- most the same as in 1887. Taking the whole Commonwealth and New Zealant there are annually twenty thousand fewer births tham there would have beer had the birth rates of ten years ago been maintained This shows a decline of two hund thousand in the natural increase of Australian population during the de- has also been ascertained that > -- half years; in 1901 it was twenty= four years. This is regarded as af indication of a tendency to accept with reluctance the responsibilities of the marriage state; that the Austra- lasian declining birth rate is due less to physical incapacity than to indi- vidual unwillingness. The New South Wales Government statistician, in connection with these very facts, re- marks: "There have been very strik- ing changes in the (birth) rates for the periods mentioned, and a persist- ent and astonishing decling among women of every class. It would seen that an increasingly large number of women make up their minds not to have children, or to delay child-bear- ing as long as possible. After each successive confinement, an increasing proportion of women, still of child- bearing age, cease to give birth to any more children, and the extraor- dinary condition of things bas now come to pass that the fertility of women who have had two children is less than that of woinen who, in 1891, had nine children." There is no necessity for going into details, the broad facts are sufficient; but there is one overlooked by all concerned in the snquiry, and that is that the decline in the Australasian birth rate prac- | tically commenced with the discour- agement of over-sea {immigration which was a means of gydtematically {nfusing fresh blood into Australasia reluctance of Aus- The increasing tralasian women to accept the re- | sponsibilities of maternity is trace- several causes, one of the able to principal being the increasing love of pleasure.

The worst of it is that the states are powerless in the matter If Queensland wants a few hundred agricultural laborers she them without the consent of the Fed- eral Government, The states, in blindly accepting federation without proper safeguards, have virtually parted with their birthrights for a mess of pottage.

The last monosyllables would come rolling out, in the grand manner, | like the boom of & great bell One morning a light-minded boy whispered to another, "We have not had dabar yet. Shall I get it?" "Do, if you dare.' | "If you please, sir," chievous one, "why is ergon used | instead of logos, in the passage just | translated?" ""Ah," replied the master, "you | could not be expected to know that. | The reason is--" and forth rolled the | usual explanation To sce the dean walk with stately tread into the open trap was not too small a joke to please a schoolboy. There was a moment of suppressed | delight, but succeeding that a re-| morseful silence; and after the ses- sion the boy-joker was begged by his | fellows mever to repeat the jest. [ No schoolmaster was ever more | sensitive to poor results than was | this one. At a certain history les- | son, when a boy had failed to an-. swor some trifling question, the master flung down his book and ex- claimed, "My dear boys! I am pro- foundly discouraged. For fifteen years of my life 1 have becn letting down a bucket into an empty well, and drawing it up again. For fif- tecn years of my life 1 have been pouring out water upon the arid sand.'" Then he gathered up his | books and fled. A few boys laughed. The others cried, 'Shame! shame!" on those who did it. And the next lessom was splendidly prepared. 5 te meee.
