Ray, from the town Council, ask- ing that the committee at once place a hydrant and all requirements for fire protection for the Beal Leather tannery, Logie-st., east ward. After a discussion on the matter, Engineer Hammond was asked his answer to the question and stated that it would be out of the question to put one in now. Chairman Flavelle then moved that the secretary write the Council stat- ing that the commitee would put one in as soon as possible after the snow is off the ground and from this time forth would keep the matter before their mindsâ€"Carried. An application was then read from Mr. E. E. Robson. Albert-st. south ward. asking for a domestic water service. The matter was brought into discussion and settled by the super- intendent explaining that owing to the mild weather he was able to lay a new service at once.

Laidley, one of the most prominent farmers of Emily township was the victim of a most dastardly outrage last Thursday the perpetrator being an English lad in his employ since the beginning of last harvest. As a result of the lad’s dev lish malignity, Mr. Laidley mourns the destruction by fire of his fine barn, containing the entire season's crOps, five head of cattle, a number of agricultural implements, and other valuable property. Poultry on the Farm and ‘ The Cause of Bad Eggs In the morning about 6.30 Mr. Laidley told the English ladâ€"who had overslept himselfâ€"to hurry to the stable and feed the stock. The bu wished to take the lantern. but tms Mr. Laidley would‘not permit. say- ing them was sumcient light to do the work. The lad's answer was: “Well. I know how to get all the light I want.“ Going out He was absent for about ten minutes. and on his return Mr. Laidley enquired. “We“. you manag- 'â€"..U _ mer who will tell us that his poultry does not pay. One of the reasons for this state of things is that we will al- most invariably find that his flock is made up of all ages from these mis- erable youngsters hatched out late in the fall to the old hen of six or seven years old, that does not lay eggs enough to pay for her food. No hen should be kept over three winters. I would strongly advise any farmer who finds himself in possession'of such uuuv -_-_-~ .‘ a flock as I have .describedfto kill off all late chickens, also all hens that are not through their molt by the: lst of December, and keep only those completely through their moult and in AAA; LA-..

We must get eggs in winter if we are to obtain the greatest returns from our fowls, and only early hatched, well matured pullets and young hens will furnish us with winter eggs in paying quan- tities.

Egg dealers and those who use eggs are constantly finding bad eggs amongst those laid on the farm. The cause of this is keeping male birds in the flock. Let us look at the difierence between a fertile and infertile egg or eggs laid by hens with a lot of males amongst them, and those laid by a flock of hens without male birds with them. The first egg contains the germ of life to which if 90 degrees or over of heat is applied will start life. Our midsum- mer often reaches 90 degrees in the shade, and a hen may be setting some hours on a nest of eggs before disovered. This is the source of bad igyiwné qualities .ng ygur flock. in a short time you can increase the A“; -uo 1 ___ is no stockâ€"veil, the' farm that can be so rapidly impressed as the poultry. Hens have been bred to increase their The fact is that life had started in them and when they became too cold for that life there was death, and af- ter death decay. Now let us look at the infertile eggs. There is no life in them and all a hen can do by set- ting on them is to dry them up. A large portion of a negg- is water and this evaporates when subjected to heat or left exposed. Suppose a hen should set on a nest of these eggs for months, she could not make them bad. There could be no decay. Af- ter long experience I firmly believe that hens will lay ten per cent more wu- “v eggs withont'nmtes than with them.

Time has not made Mr. Clemens an old man, but has merely surrounded him with the atmosphere of maturity, of ex- perience, of judgment.

We reproduce herewith a photograph of Mr. Clemens taken very recently on the portico of his home. Beside him is Mr. R. W.
