Referring to the local optio‘n clause Mr. F. S. Spence argues as follows : "So far local option by-laws have been carried in 104 municipalities, with the result of closing 256 liquor- sel-Iing places, every one of which was a centre of temptation and mischief. The provisions of the new law would have made the number of liquor-sell- ing places closed only 1-10. “Third, the short twoâ€"year term allowed for the operation of local opâ€" tion where it is passed will have an injurious efi'ect. It will have a ten- dency to keep municipalities in con~ stant and continual strife. Under these conditions it will be much hard- er to carry local option than ever be- fore. “Second, the 60 per cent vote re“ quired would mean that the measure could not be carried in many places where the liquor interests are powerâ€" ful. Why should not. this byâ€"law stand on ,equal ground with all oth- ers ‘? Whyshould it be singled out for a.three-fifths vote? “First, the increase of the license fees in towns and cities. To Some the loss of revenue entailed in pass- ing local option and wiping out. a number of hotels would be a strong argument, against the. law. The license bill has awakened a deal of discussion and the govern- ment will doubtless hear from both sides of the question before the sec- ond reading takes place. The bill strikes a. blow at the brewers of To- ronto in its clauses directed against tied houses, and it offends the tem- perance people by lessening~ the period when local option may be operative after a municipality has passed it.

At times the wire at the base of the burner gets dirty or covered with dust- this should be well. cleaned, otherwise, the lamp is liable to flicker or smoke The machine, especially a hot air maker must not be run in a. direct draught, as it may heat unevenly. It is well to have four or more ther- mometers and place them ingdifi'erend parts of the egg tray before putting the eggs in, to make sure your ma- chine has no “hot spots". Raise or lower the ends of the machine, until it heats at least within a degree and one half at all parts. If a hot spot be found in the centre, this can be screened by attaching a cloth to a._ piece of metal under the top of the egg chamber. This will usually,cause' the heat to distribute better. The incubator should be operated where the air is pure. If the air in the room where the machine is run. has_an oflensivc odor due to the smell of kerosene. of decaying- wood, or vegetables, the room is not a. good place to run a machine.zThe machine may hatch fairly well but, to raise chickens is another question.

As one of my neighbors answered me when I are- marked that her chicken equipments looked so nice: ”Yes." she said, "but then you know I live in the chicken coops all summcrlf The first étep to success is to have the brood properly hatthd. Be gun: 1 think the greatest trouble why people who make the attempt of rais- ing chickens for profit fail is because they do not understand the care which the little chicks 1equire from the time they are hatched until they are about three weeks old. Some- times they die so fast it is enough to discourage any poultry keeper. All this is unnecessary. as it is en- tirely due to improper care and feed. and sometimes lice. {so as to induce the chicks to emu-â€" iciso. The above feeds are used al- ternately. Before there is any grass. we feed usually two feeds a day, af- ter the chicks are a Week old. of grated or chopped root or onions. sometimes boiled potatoes: enough shorts and bran is added to this to absorb the juices of the root. We try to have the chicks drink some milk or if this is not at hand we keep beef scrap in easv access. The feeding of much cooked or raw meat is dangerousâ€"a little is good. Where there is plentv of milk or insects. the animal food is not so essential. After three VVeeks of age feed three times daily plent_V of vegetables and grass, and exercise.

We keep this well supplied for perhaps two days until all thelch'icks know where to look for food} We also keep a constant supply of pure water in easy access. After the sec-‘ and day in the brooder we begin feed- ing'filbuut'five or six times daily. just what _the.chirkens eat quickly. It is still somewhat of a debatable point, whether it is wise to feed a young chick all -it wants to eat be- fore it. is two weeks of age, We try to feed a little less than they would eat. Such feeds as bread and milk are. given early in the morning. which is fed on clean boards or troughs.

Men should learn to till the soil well, and make every acre of land largely productive. The young man who expects to become a farmer. should havv a good common school education. and should study chemis- ,try. and understand soils. botany and physiology. that they may understand the nature of plants. and the prop- erties of food. and the laws of health and thus prosecute their vocation in- telligently. Some peeple‘think that brute force and not intelligence is required by the farmer. This is a mistake. A man of thorough culture will get as much profit from ten ac- res of land as one without culture will get from twice as many acres. It is well, therefore, for young men} to turn their attention to farming and stock-raising. The business of raising cattle ought to be largely fol- lowed. Our farmers arc reaping a golden hat-Vest and through all seasons of hard times which pinch nearly every- body but themselves. they command good‘prices for their products. Does not this indicate that the plow has been neglected for trade and other pursuits until farming has become a monopoly, and farmers the true lords of the land. Millions of acres of land in the Great West, rich, await the first footprints of civilization, and beckon the gathering hand to take possession or their inexhaustible stores. In the present state of public of- fairs, however, nearly every young man .with any pretentious to talent. thinks he must, be a lawyer. doctor. minister. or merchant. The plow is abandoned in the furrow; .the saw. the hammer and the plane are dis- carded; and the stores medical schools and 18"3’95' oflices am swarmed with candidates for wealth and fame. If each man could select an occu- ‘patiun for which he were better ad- ‘apted than any other. he would be master of the highest and Mt field of action he is capable of filling. and have within his reach the largest amountot success and happiness -of which he is capable. and it“ added to this fact. he could have some positive assurance of success. his mind would acquire a spirit of contentment with his lot. and a pride to fill his station well. Most men are better adapted for farming or mechanism than they are to merchantile pursuits, to art or to professional life. and it in apâ€"1 parent that the industrial pursuits open a far wider field for eflort than the avocat-ions requiring taste and culture.
