‘ -,./ ..â€"A / - 'vv‘yfi/‘l ‘Breeding for Profit. Prof. Shaw tells the readers of the Brcctlers' Gazelle 2-â€" Gannibal Plants. It has been proved time and again that the so~called “csnuibul plants," " The use ofa well~chosen, pure-brrd I of which the Nouns flv-t’rap is the type. sire will secure the tran~mission of de- sirable forms to the progeny. Tdiii‘. for illnsuation the typical beefproducin: sire. He should be compact in form. broad and level and well fleshed on the back, roundly and deeply sprung in the ribs. broad and full and deep in the chest, wide at the withers, full in the crops and in both fore and hind flanks. He should possess large heart girth. a wide and level loin, a long and broad and deep quarter. a full twist and thigh. and should stand firmly on short legs of medium bone. His head should be medium in size, since by what is known as the law of corelation the parts at the system that we do not see may be judged by those that we do see. Hence if the head Were unduly course or strong we have an indication of undue strength of bone. " By the use of'a pure-bred sire of good individuality quality will‘be secur- ed iu the progeny. Quality may be de- flncd as the Capacity to do well. Its presence is indicated by certain hand- ling properties, as they are termed. These handling properties are indicative of digestion and assimilation of a high order when they are present in a mark- ed degree. Thuir presence is cognizant to the sense of touch more than to that of sight. Place the tips of the fingers on any part of the back or shouldersor hips, or indeed on any part covered with flesh. and press gently. The flesh will yield softly to the sense of touch and its elasticity will spring it back again to its normal condition when the fingers are removed, if quality is present. Place the front of the hand flat upon the ribs and move it up or down, and the skin will sway gently and readily beneath such a movement. it' quality is there. 80,100, where it is present, the hand can easily fill itself by grasping the hide over the ribs; the hair will be plentilul." a... Money in Poultry. The possibilities ol poultry-keeping from a financial standpoint are simply illlmitulllt'. Until within the past year or two the United Stan-s had to import eggs from Europe and China as well as from Canada. the domestic production not living equal to thr- consumption. The di~crcp~tncy was so glaring that American larmt-ts lave taken steps to reduce it. so that. the market for Coon dian eggs across the bard-W is not. as in- Viting‘ as it “1.18 But (in-at Britain con-titm~< an enormous quantity more than she. raises, a lu"gt~ proportion ol which is imported l'om France. Bel- gium. Holland and Denmark. and the shipment of Canadian eggs to England has proven an unmistakable success. and can be indclinitely cXIcndt-d. When the period of cold storage supcrvctws. an almost insatiable market will be opened up in the British isles for our turkeys. ducks and chickens. Shall the. Canadian farmer awake to his oppor- tunity? That seems to be the only question. As Mr. A. G Gilbert. ol' the Dominion Experimental Farm at Otta- wa, is accustomed to say, if every larm or would keep one hundred hens in Illt' mest approved manner. using the waste products of his farm for lood, he could clcar $100 a year quite easily from the flock. This would mean an increase ol‘ at. least $30,000,000 annually to the national wealth, anti ii'any farmer lccls shove kcepin,t hens, or letting his fam- ily (Instr, for the sake of that. 3100. what are we to think of the pictures drawn by Grit politicians oi the pover ty-strickeu condition of (‘.-.'.:- lion agri- culture? There is money in poultry- keepingâ€"money for the specialist, and money for the farmer who goes into it as one of the incidental industries ofhis regular occupatiou.â€"- Kingston News. Mr. Chip’s Big Pockets. A chipmunk, unlike a boy, has his pockets in his mouth. And they are good big pockets, too.

That noted scientific gentleman bravely meets the " vegetarian botanists ” with the assertion that all kinds and classes of plants. whether knowu as " theaters ” or not, bear tnore and heavier fruits than thoscvthat are not. allowed a fl~sh diet. He grew two lots, comprisqu various varieties of the different com- mon plants. One lot was regularly fed (through their roots, of course) with pure juices compressed from meat, the other with water and the various fertilizers. The final figures on this odd experiment proved that'vthe plants which were fed pure meat tjuice bore 168 fruits of the different kinds, while the unfed plants of the same number and original con- dition bore ’but 74. Also, that the pampered plants bore 240 seeds to every 100 borne by the plantstbat were not given a chance to gratify cannibal- istic taste. This is certainly a discov- ery worthy of ‘much careful study and extensive cxperiment.~â€"-Cincinnati En- quirer. ‘ -0 A Land Without Animals. Japan is a land without the domestic ' animals. It is this lack which strikes the stranger so forcibly in looking upon Japanese landscapes. There are no cmvsâ€"theJ apanese neither drinks milk our cats meat. There are but few horses, and these are imported mainly for the use of the foreigners. The freight cars in the city streets are pulled and pushed by coolies, and the pleasure carriages are drawn by men. There are but few dogs, and these are neither used as watch dogs. beasts of burden nor in hunting, except by foreigners. There are no sheep in Japan, and wool is not used in clothine, silk and cotton helm.r the staples. There are no pigsâ€"pork is an unknown article of diet, and lard is not used in cooking. There are no goats. or mules or don- keys. Wild animals there are, however, and, in particular. bears of enormous size. One of these Mr. Finch saw stalled. in a museum. he describes as " big as an ox.” Beside a stuffed mu- scum bear is preserved. in aloohol, the mauuled body of a child the bear had eaten just belore being killed. War, ol course, is acqurtiuting the Japanese with the use of animals. The army has cavalry horses. and others to drag the field guns. The Empress, also, in obvious imitation of European royal- tics, is an expert horsewuman. and saddle horses are kept for her use.â€" t Popular Science. ~ a... Animals Without Stomachs. Cuts get along perfectly well without stoumchs, according to experiments rc- Cordcd in the Archives de Physiologic. In one cat. which lived for flirty-eight hours after its stomach had been remov- ed, the (Esophagus was found to have been completely united with the intos tine. Another cat. which weighed four pounds when it lost its stomach. was alive and well and weighed four pounds and a half three months and a halfal'ter the operation. It found difliculty in diszesting pure tnilk. but. got along niec- ly when the milk was mixed with yolk of egg and rice, and ate cooked meat. cheese and puree of potatoes. This proves that all three classes of food, albttmenoids, fats and larinaeious sub- stances, are digested by the agasttie cat. As it has been previously proved that dogs can do without stomachs. the next step would seem to be the production of agastric man. a-.. Pin Money. All ladies know what pin money is. but it may be interesting to them to know the origin of the expression. and also to know that it is directly connect ed with New Year's day. Until the be ginning of the sixteenth ccuturv the only pins used by the poorer classt's were made of wood In lsct. thev were not pins at all. but sk- wcrs. which {or the use of the Wo'nilint‘, were. ol' boanod, bone and bilt‘ol’.

They at once ‘ became the moat. popular and acceptable I l New Year's cift tor Lilli-3S, but it soon grew customary to give. instead of the pins themselves, the money with which to purchase them. and this n-:- called ‘ “ pin money." a term which cradually , to ladies for dress std personai adoru~ intent. came to he applied to all money given ‘ t t erfiâ€"nsgot- .-- ..- ~.~.. s -..â€"_â€"._.... - ..- . v. m..;-s s'.\m. .a , n “31:53.. .1 STORY.
