STRAY SHOTS FROM SOLOMON. which to hang our patriOtism. but when applied to human life it is a myth. It is the ephemeral “what we haven’t” that we are eternally seeking to the neglect of the snbstan- i tial good that is in our tist. The far‘ fields look green. and other fruit seems twice as luscious as that which hangs on our own boughs. This is the origin of the nightly reconnais- sance of orchards and melon patches in balmy youth. and still leads us to ‘fly to ills we know not of” in the search for the golden apples of pleas- nre or success. The allurement of the forbidden fruit seems as irresisto able to day as in youth or in Eden itself. ”Stolen waters are sweet,” and notwithstanding the bitterness of the after taste, the glass is quafl'ed again and again. Heartburn does not seem to keep us from the draught any more than burning at some other vital Spot kept as from green apples and “hockey” in earlier life. It seems as little use in one case as the other to set up the notice, “Trespass- ers will be prosecuted.” Yet 101' the sake of the few who may be urned aside from the foolish pursuit of evil pleasure the warning ought Still to he ventured. To the maturer fools who are bent on stolen sweets the words of the wise man ought to come with force: “Stolen waters are sweet and bread eaten in secret is pleasant. But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that he: guests are in the depths of hell. * L--- slain by her ” There are some people who takel pride in being what they termi “blunt ” Just where bluntness ends and boorishness and incivility begin it is often dificult to determine, and it is just in this respect that the or. dinary “Jack Blunt” isa nuisance. One of this species ran into the Union Depot the other day all out of breath, and just in time to see the end of his train vanish into Space. As he paus- ed to m0p his bald head and red face he let out a string of adjectives that about stopped the station clock if it did not stop the train. Turning: about he saw a clerical looking gen- tleman upon whose countenance was depicted the horror natural to one whose righteous soul was "vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked.” He Immediately began an apology for his strong remarks. add- ing: " You know I am a blunt man and am in the habit of callinga spade a spade.” "' Indeed!” replied the clergyman sententiously, “ I was under the impression from the tone of your remarks that you would call a Spade a -â€" shovel.” The candid friend and the blunt man are in the same boat and if you value your peace of mind you will give them a Wide birth. " A fool uttereth all his mm d It is a strange fact that money! gotten by fraud and crooked dealing never stays in the possession of those who make it. The Other day we heard of a man who, on his own con- fession, stole a fortune a few years ago. and was until recently enjoying! the fruits of his dishonesty without . prospeCt of molestation. A strange thing with man’s law is that one can! steal and escape jail, if he only does it in the right way. This man, how- ever, could not escape the divine law that decrees that "\Vealth gotten by } dishonesty shall be diminished,” and ‘ “He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, shall gather it for him. that shall pity the poor. Only the other day he was left high and dry With his ill gotten gains scattered to the winds. A man came into this ofice recently who was not noted for talking morality of any particular type. and who has had a fair chance to prove what there is in the doctrine “ Look out for number one.” He made this startling con- fession in the course of a conversa tion in regard to shady business tran- sactions: “ I have touched dirt, and by â€"â€" it has stuck to me right through.” This is a Stray sbos from one who probably scoffs at Solomon’s injunction : “ Devise not evil against. thy neighbor.” Giving advice to a fool is like pour- \ ing water into a sieve. You might as well try to get a nail into a rock as sense into the pates of some peo- ple. A lawyer remarked the other day that a man had come to him with a trivial case against his neighbor. As he was personally acquaintedwith both parties to the dispute he advised his client to go home and try and settle the matter amicably. He got roundly abused for his pains and the irate client went to another law firm and had his case entered. He lost (The Shoe and Leather Journal.) BITTER SWEET. the suit and carried it then to the Court of Appeal and from there to the Supreme Court. It ended in his losing. and it cost him so much money thst he was benkrnpted. The lawyer says the next fool thst comes along with a. case of this kind he will let him have his own my and keep his ndvioe to himself. We hove in mind a. men who when ndv'ued slang s oer- tninlineisslmostoertnin to tekesn Opposite course. Someone hes said “never give ndvioe. if the object of it hewisemsnhewillnot need it; if 301:0 stool hew'xll notfollow it.” BLUX‘I'NESS on WHAT ? \V'ARNIXG TO SQUEEZERS. WASTED WIND. Apart from whatever wisdom may be in the saying there is no doubt that much breath is wasted in the endeav. or .to keep fools on the right track. At the same time a man clears his own conscience when he dev0tes a little effort towards preventing peo~ ple of the fool class running their heads against stone walls. If there was no philanthropy of this kind fools would die 03 and this world would become a lonesome place to live in. By W. R. Grahm. B. S. A. The poultry houses I have seen no many of the farms in Ontario are mostly of two kindsâ€"those that are small, poorly lighted, and seldom cleaned; and those that are well built, well ilghted, and frequently kept moderately clean. The last mentioned houses are not much more satisfaCtory than the first. The essential points in a poultry! house are light, dryness and good‘ ventilation. The houses that have, been built warm and tight, with the! idea of keeping the water from freez- ° ing have the objection, that in near- ly all cases the ceilings and walls. coat with frost during the very! cold weather. When the weather! moderates the from melts and you! have a very damp house. The house} smells of chickens, or in olher words, is poorly ventilated, and in many in-‘ scances the chickens are unhealthy. ; tometimes they lay well during; winter, but the eggs are very poor, for hatching purposes. 5 For a number of years we havef been trying to find some way to over-i Come these dificulties. The best; means of ventilating a house, that I know of, is by using cloth screens; and to keepahouse perfectly dry I. have found nothing better than ai loft. i. e., The ceiling is covered with straw, the straw being placed} on boards or rails which are some 6! or 8” apart, The straw should be} about one foot or more in depth.‘ The straw which is exposed to 'the‘ air of the pen, will absorb the major- ity of the moisture in keeping houses perfectly dry. at least we have had no difficulty whatever in keeping {houses fairly dry by using straw 'lOftS. Where We have net used [these lofts, even where there was \ample ventilation, there has been Isome little difficulty with frosted t Walls and ceilings, The use of the curtain front is com ing more into favor. Under ordinary circumstances a house needs to be 1} I of the front of glass in order to have the pen well lighted There should be about as much more of the froct of cotton The COtton may be put on frames which can be closed or opeogd‘ according to weather conditions. nice bright days the cotton is eitherl rolled up, or if the curtain is put on‘ frames, it can be hung up. This makes the pen very nice, bright and airy. On days which are very windy and dull. it is advisable to only open one screen. If more than one is Opened chere is apt to be many F too many draughts throughout the pen. As far as we can tell, cotton } will keep out almost as much cold as l ordinary glass frame or sash. At least, in the houses where we have cotton fronts, we get a slightly higher minimum temperature than where we have a similar house with all glass front and no cotton. It must be borne 1n mind, however, that in these houses of ours where the tests are made. the windows are nor fitted exuemly tight. Where floors are made of cement. boards. or ground, at least four to six inches of fresh earnh should be put. on each year. Care should be taken to keep the floors well cleaned, otherwise the ground becomes tainted and the common epidemic among fowls, more prevalent. The ground outside the house should be ploughed or spaded once or twice a year. The land too needs cropping and where this is im- possible the next best thing is to apply lime and work the same into the soil. All poultry houses should be white: washed and disinfected at least once a year. The present time is undesir able for whitewashing, as it is apt to leave the house entirely too damp for the coming seasonâ€" It would be better done in the Spring or summer.
