I haVe about come to the conclusion that the feeding of warm mashes is a big humbug, and I only feed that way now when I} want to administer some ground charcoal or a little conditioner. I believe that good. sound. grain of different kinds, scattered in litter to induce exercise, is the most natural food for fowls, is more easily digested. and will keep the {mi-ls in better condition than mash feeding. and I also believe dry feeding better for eggs. both in quanâ€" tity and fertility.-â€"Commercial Poulâ€" Hymeneal JICKELSâ€"DA VIES . ..

Fe said he did not think so many nec- essary, and remarked that the prev- ious season he had used only two males with sixty hens with best: results. The poultry fancier who.i sells eggs for hatching would notl dare risk 50 many in one yard with one male. and yet I belieVe with the more active breeds it could be done with perfect safety. The turkéy hen needs but one service of the male to fertilize all the eggs of that hatch, yet some people consider a half dozen hens all that should be allowed with one male. “Messrs. Chas.

They did not hatch. yet to all appearances this] hen was in the best of health and. Condition. My experience has ham that eggs from a yard of hens, say twelve to fourteen. will prove more fertile than where only a few are kept with the male. In my opinion too much attention from the male bird is detrimental to the hens and fertile eggs. As good hatches as I ever had were from a yard containing eighteen females and one male. Occasionally stock that has had the v~~ry host. of care and is in the very best of condition, fail to produce well inrtiliwn egg?» In this case it usu- ally is the male that is at fault.

The Faster festn al, the anniversâ€" ary “of the Jewish massacres at Kish- inefi and other places, happily \ was not stained this year by anti- Jewish excesses. The measures taken bv the central Government and the orders sent to the provincial authorities to take every precaution, with the add- ed warning that they would be held personally responsible for outbreaks,‘ apparently were effective, though the danger will not. be over until the Easter holidays are passed. Heavy rain has fallen throughout Temiskaming, rapidly dispersing the snow, which will hurry the prospect- ing season. It .is rumored the Gov- ernment intends shortly selling the remaining forty acres of the‘ town site. Great congestion exists on the present site, and mine operators are refusing squatters permission to (ramp on their land.

The popula- tion of the Canadian Yukon to-day is between 5.000'and 6.000. 2.000 of which is in Dawson City. These charges make the cost of liv- ing so high that mining cannot be car- ried on economically. The White Pass Railway is paying five per cent. on a capitalization of 810.000.000. It is not likely that one-firth of that amount has been actually invested in the road.

Sanka skins are used in the United States for the mautwture of ladies” automobile There is a bush in North Toronto, a. certain portion 0! bush near the Don River. a. district near Eglinton, and I. locality near Peterboro', where 'coonl are to be had. A few good bear hides come from Northern Ontario, and are used in the manufacture of rugs. sleigh robes, and coachmen's capes. An occasional M10 11 also found in Northern Ontario. Outside of Chatham, there are places where ooons may be freely hunted. Raccoons are found in wooded districts and they produce suitable tut for handsome and durable scarts and mums. Canadian 'coon is the best 'ooon, and is worth from $2 ‘to 82.50 each for first-class hides. 'Coons are also used a great deal In the cartoonist's protea- sion. The poorer class of 'coon skin brings about 75 cents. A good mink skin in the raw brings about 85. Other qualities of mink de- scend in value to about 82. counties. With the tun-lets the skins are known as "Baltic seal.” Muskrats are getting up in price. Thousands of these fun! are now used ln lining gentlemen’s and ladies' coats. Somewhat or a novelty ln tux-s, an all-muskrat coat, was seen on a gentleman ln Yonge street the other day. and as a plece of fur art was commendable. Mink flourishes everywhere. The fur ls durable, and when properly made up. rivals the Russian sable. The best mink furs come from the vicinity tan- tent in Lake Superior. The muskrat or musquash is found in generous numbers around the waterâ€" ways of the province. Floods last year made trouble in their steam-heated apartments. and many rat tamuies were drowned. “Rats" cannot be trapped at- ter the ice comes, but as the freezing up this winter was so late many have The klttenlsh llttle skunk when to good condition. and of a black hue. brings about $2. Poorer grades bring 75 cents or a, dollar. There are many skunks to be round in the western pen- insula of Ontario, and there is a great demand for our skunk in Germany and old London. The demand is greater than the supply. “There wuz a time." complains Trap- per Smoke, as he puts on a pipe about the slzo of an lnkstand. “The" was a time w'en I k'd set me traps all along the cricks in quietness and peaceness. but ,now somebody is auto to steal 'em. Te tanner-5' boys ketch all the fur on thelr prop'ty 33' there's none enny more to ketch enny way.“ A great deal or good home fur is tound down in Southern Ontario. near the lakes. A great proportion of tho fur is that of skunk and muskrat. The old style or trapper. with the smoke-tanned trousers. hound’peul cap. nnd long bat-relied gun. is rapidly becoming superseded by the tax-mere son. The most typical of the old style trapper: yet remaining is Trapper John Smoke. who makes his rendezvous down in Norfolk County. John ocea- slonally gets "the bi: mink." but his vocation is not so remunerative u in former deys. The crop or esrly rose, night-bloom- ing. polecats, muskrats, mink, mole: and raccoons has been a very generou- ono this you. and tax-mew sons in” earned considerable tobacco money by tapping and shooting the trsgrsnt skunk and his ilk. The crops of :1! those skins. excepting mink. hsve been very plentiful. The mink has not been quite so much in evidence, but even the old reliable skunk is not extinct.
