Chamberlain's Official organ has the following arti- cle on turkeys from Canada in its issue of Christmas Day: The development of the poultry in- dustry of this country is one of the most remarkable features of the last quarter of the century. just about to pgpirc. This advance is‘mainly dual to the cultivation of a varied taste in No doubt taking the the dinner table is still enjoyed by the “roast beef of old England," but] at. ccrtain seasons, and notably at Christmas time, the poultcrcr com- petes on very favourable lcrms With the butcher for the public patronage. As the demand for table poultry has increased an inpctus an important so extensively has been given to branch of agriculture which is stead- ilv becoming more valuable and prof- itable. The supply of homo-bred birds, however, is by no means equal to the demand, and just as we have to depend upon foreign countries in a. great measure for other sources of our food supply, so we also have to rely upon the foreigner to make good our deficiency in poultry. Until within recent years we were dependâ€" ant upon our neighbours across the English Channel, but: now, thanks to the. improved facilities for the curri- agc of meat, provided on the stcumâ€" ships this country has become 11 prominent. customcr of countries furâ€" ther away, and particularly of many of our colonies. Canada. the home of SO many of our kindred, is one of the colonies which is making rapid progress in the business of agricul- turc. For some ycurs she has supâ€" plicd us with corn and beef. and shc is now anxious to extend her nude with us in poultry. The Home of the Turkey The principal features of the poul- try market; is thcstcadily increasing demand for turkeys, specially pre- pared for the table, birds which are characterised by speedy growth. fine quality of flesh, and grout breast deâ€" velopment. The birds reared in Great. Britain. under prevailing ditions, are naturally the bcsl. they command the highest priCt‘S. but Canada is the home of the turkey -â€" the breed was introduced into Europc from North America. curly in the six- teenth centuryâ€"and cf‘forts are being made to pIoCe upon the British mark- ets Canadian birds which will bear favorable comparison with those from any other country. It is now about ten years Since. an attempt was first made to bring Canadian poultry to this country for the Christmas murkâ€" ets. At that time the facilities the carriage of perishable goods on board ship were in IL A The birds were packed loose for vcry crude state. in their feathers in cases. vcyed in the ship's hold to Liverpool. The journey usually occupied nine or ten days. and as the birds rcmuincd they 1111(1 and conâ€" so long in a. closc atmos, .lL‘I‘C were found to be in very poor almost unsalablo condition on their arrival. Trade. conscqucntly was poor, and the experiment. of shipping dcad poultry to England was a. failâ€" ure. The steamboat companies were apple-.rlcd to, but very little improveâ€" ment. was made, and during the next three years not more than One or two thousand birds were consigned to this country. Still the merchants on both sides of the. Atlantic did not despair, and ultimately representatâ€" ions Were made to the steamship companies that the poultry might be enormously developed. and made to pay all parties. if only propâ€" er storage on the boats were pro- vided for the birds. 111 the belief that something would lw (lonc measâ€" ures were adopted for Sending over altogether about. 50.000 birds, but. the experiment was again disastrous, and the shippers suffered severe loss- es. Then the Canadain government took the matter up. and in 1806 com- municated with several salesmen in England asking for thcir views on the importaot' question of the packâ€" ing and shipment of poultry. One Birmingham gentleman who was written to, lnlpl‘CSSctl upon the ornmcnt the necessity of a proper system of cold storage upon every boat, and the. adoption/ of an im- proved method of packing the birds. so that their quality might not be. gov- impaired on lht‘lz" _l()ll'-'ll(“.‘. Tf those principles were carrix pre- dicted a. great; futurc Canad- ian poultry trade generally. These suggestions were acknowledged in a. letter of thanks, and on the technical lines which had been emphasised .by all their correspondents the Canadian government approached, the steam- ship companids. The result was that ; before the next. season commenced several new vessels which had been .57 conscience money, added to the service, as well as thelword "restitution" written on the ...-MW“. .. .L...» “ex; . , - 1. l‘ trade 3 THE WATGHMAI-WAIIDEB: llllDSAY. MIT. chambers. The New Method The previous season had been so disastrous that the merchants were somewhat afraid, and during the winter of 1896 the consignments of turkeys were not more than half those of the previous year. The re- sult, hOchcr, was fairly satisfactory and the trade in the succeeding years advanced enormously in comparison with previous seasons. But While 1110 COld'flil‘ I‘I‘OCOSS succeeded, the. packing was decidedly poor, and the conditions of the birds was not so good as it should have been. It. was obvious, therefore, that. unless the method of packing “'aS improved the] trade must again fail, and so during the past summer two or three poultry experts were sent. from Eng- land to Canada to teach those (‘11- g‘a’gcd in the Canadian business how to collect and pack the birds. Their experience has been very beneficial, and now for the firsttime the poul- ’ try is. being brought over under the most favorable conditions for the market. The merchants first of all visit. the farmers in the autumn and buy the birds. which are delivered alive on specified dates at the im- portant. centres such as Toronto and Then they are killed and plucked and hung for twenty-four hours in cold chambers. At the end of that time each bird is separately wrapped in parchment paper, and they are packed in cases, each case containing a dozen birds. The cases are conveyed by train to the ports of Portland (Maine), St. John (New Brunswick), or to Boston. and plac- cd in coldâ€"air chambers on board ship Cold air is pumped into the chambers by duy and night, and the tcmpera- ture is maintained just above freez- ing point. The birds are never froz- cn, but kept in a. chilled state, and as the. quality of bccf and venison is said to be improved by hanging for several days in the larder, so also it is claimed that the quality of the Canadian birds, which are placed on the British markets within fourteen days of being killed, is quite as good as that. of birds killed in the ordin- ary way in this country. ’.At pres- ent the. season for Canadian turkeys in England commences the week be- fore Christmas and continues until the middle of January, or about a month altogether. The birds are Montreal. ,rathcr larger than the English birds. coll- ranging from about. 8Tb. to 301b, in and weight. The breed is that. of the American bronze, but as the trade develops, smaller birds will be culti- vated, and then Canadian turkcys may be expected in our markets all through the English season. which commences at the beginning of De- ct-mbcr. and continues until the end of March."

Packet : Mr's. Thos. Vander- pump has a. curiosity which is of special interest at the present. She was standing in front of the crowd where the. wedding procession of the Prince of Wales, now King Edward VII., was passing. and being pushed too close to the horses for safety, darted past them and beneath the coach occupied by the Prince and his bride. As she passed the horse's head, she accidentally touched one of the favours with which it Was decor- ated; it fell off, and Mrs. Vanderâ€" pump snatched it up. Looking up- wards at. the moment. for the first time discovered who occupied the Carriage, and pros somewhat dismay- cd to see the royal bride and groom. laughingly watching her effort to escape. The favour, is a rosette, bearing the likeness of Queen Alex- andra, and ‘though somewhat faded. the. featurcsnrc still distinguishable. O 5 Q 9 A Godcrich township farmer hired a very inexperienced boy a short time ago to help about the place. One morning he told the lad to go and salt the calf in the pasture. The boy took about a quart of salt, rubbed it all over the calf, working it. into the hair. A gang of colts in the pos- ture scented the suit and got. after the calf. They licked the hair all off the cnlf's buck and tried to lick the hide off too. The farmer-r tried to catch the calf and wash it. off, but the crcuturo thinking he wanted to lick, too, kept out of his way. The boy, calf and farmer were all unhap- py, the colts being the only ones: that got, any fun out of it.

O O C I Orillia News Letter: The fol- lowing lcttcr has been received at the Marine Department from Lord Strathcona: “Whilst staying at Senior, in Devonshirc, a. few days since, I happened to see a bottle which had been washed up by the tide.
