Its war treasâ€" ure, however, was not in gold, but in coined silver, and the weight of this presently broke down the walls of the treasury, the resultant ava- lanche of dollars killing, and tem- porarily burying, several unhappy clerks. After this experience, the United States determined to rely, as does Britain, on her ordinary bank re- serve. it is impossible for a grass run to be provided, vegetables must be given; but care must be taken that they are perfectly fresh, and renewed daily. If decayed vegetables are left about in the run, they will do much more harm than good. A great mistake, which many poultryâ€"keepers make, is to keep their chickens in too close confinement. If strong, big birds are desired, it is essential that the chickens, after the first week or so, should be given a free range or an extensive grass run. Exercise is the finest thing in the world for growing fowls, and the birds that take the most exercise make the big- gest and most vigorous adults." - .-â€"â€"â€"â€"-"- .524-” a . u CANINE SU?ERINTENDENT. 0n Allan Line Docks at Liverpool, “Jack” Starts Day’s Work.

If cows are kept clean the butter will be just as acceptable to the trade and will fare better at the National Dairy Shows. To quote: “The trouble is that we lack the uniformity which comes from comparing our own make with others. When I sit down in my little room and make butter, and see no better except what I make myself, I have no means of judging wherein I fail or excell. My judgment is one-sided. That is the trouble with most of our butter- makers. “What I want in a judge is a man who is brought into contact with dif- ferent kinds of butter regularly. He needs the variety and practice to keep his judgment accurate. “One fault I find with much of the creamery butter, as well as the farmer’s butter, is that the cream is allowed to get too old. Our farmers hold their cream at home for one or two days before they deliver it to the creamery, and the butter made from it has an old flavor, as the but- terâ€"maker calls it, and it is a flavor we do not want. The cream can be kept two days and kept in good con- dition if kept quite cold, but it is not wise to do this, as a rule.
