BATTEAU-The Batteau and sur- rounding district was` thrown into a state of gloom on hearing of the sud- den death of Mr. Donald MacDonald. Born in the old country at Ashton- under-Lyme, near Manchester, in 1827. he, at the age of seven, came with his father to New Jersey, where for ten years he. resided. He came to Not- tawasaga and settled in the Scotch Settlement (now called Duntroon) _ in 1844. There he commenced farming and in 1849 married Elizabeth, daugh- ter of Lieutenant W. Leach, of the 11th Light Dragoons, B.B., who sur- vives him. After several years spent in Oollingwood and other near by places, they moved to the Batteau in 1862, where they have since resided. Mr. Macdonald was a life-long Con- servative and was always ready to up- hold his party. For many years he took a prominent part in Both church and school matters, and was several times school trustee.- Bulletin.

As.` lien on a farnajtor one you-. This -estimate does not allow for kitchen waste, e'to.,, which lnsybe oft littlevalne when not fefl to the hens. When everything has to be purchased it is estimated that the aver- Ige size hen will consume from $1 to $1.50 worth of grain and supplies in a_ year. Some farm poultry growers in the United States reckon the cost of keeping their fowls at 50 cents a year. Such an estimate, however; must only oover the cost-of feeding them during the ` winter, `and does not place any yslue on summer feeding in the elds. The lowest estimate recorded is 25 ots. per year, but this must apply to coun- tries where there are summer conditions all the year. round. Poultry Fattening by Machinery. If 81 per year be taken as a` fair average for keeping a hen a year, what prot is there in the business for the poultry raiser? This will depend, largely, upon the kind of fowls. and how they are cared for and fed. It is stated that an experienoedpoultry rais- er of New York State, by selecting the best layers among his flock of Leghorn! for several years, got his whole flock of 600 up to an average of 196 eggs per hen per year. This is an extremely high average for so many hens on one farm, and it is not to be expected that ordinary fowls will do as well. At the current price for fresh eggs each of these-vfowls would return its owner about $3 a year for eggs. -But even if we cut the number down to 100 eggs for each hen per year, there is money in the business for the farmer if he looks after it properly. A new `and quick`. method of fatten-` ing poultry has been devised in one or two districts near London, England. The fowls for this purpose are mostly bred in Ireland, the English farmers fattening them rapidly by means of the cramming machine. ' The birds are kept in narrow pens with little room to move about. The food for fattening` is a special compound of batmeal, milk and fat, mixed with the consistency of porridge. The cram- ming machine consists of a large fun- nel from which the food falls into a cylinder whence a piston drives it by means of a` treadle through a exible tube into the bird's crop. The birds are fed twice a day, the person in dcharge of the machine taking the fowl under his arm, opening the beak, putting the exible tube into the throat and forcing the food into the crop with a few strokes of the treadle. The birds. are said to suffer no ill-treat ment by this method, and they fatten and are ready for market in three weeks. - Itisstated that no less than 1,765 tons of `dead fowls were sent to London last year from one little village near Tunbridge Wells, and that they were tattened by the process. The average weekly output of English poultry farm- ers as sent to London is 52 tons of birds. This new process of fattenipg poultry, which appears to be successful in England, might, with advantage, be tried here. The Agricultural and Dairy Commissioner might have the method tried'at the Government,` Poultry-Fait "toning Station.-Farming. Narrow Versus W1de Tires. There is a French adage which says : That wagons should make that road and not that rut. There is a lot of sound philosophy in that phrase. Very many roads to day are injured by heavy teaming with narrow tires. Narrow tires cause ruts in the roadway which . retain moisture. . This is destructive to the road, especially with a frost. On the other hand_ wide tires make a dirt road better and help to preserve a stone or gravel way. Repeated experiments` with dynamometers, and in general practice, have shown a that the haul withpwide tires under ihost conditions is easier than with narrow ones. Their use is especially advantageous `fer all kinds of teaming on the farm. _ By an ordinance` the city of Rochester, N.Y., has eected a complete change to `wide- tire wagons, which arenow approved by teainsters and owners, and are con- sidered benecial to thevstreets. The change in the _oountry_ ca notyhe afoot- ed as quickly asin theij'oi,'y."_ bhtfbeome-` ; thisn ottthiakin save .r9:~hen*r:ihz- a A rs604~ih'*'!9 `5fu`li, 5T5"9`!" 91.*'**"i wt.` L!` ., . pi} , -.' .,..`, -'3.` ;' 3 -".4" ' `. -. , 3. ... - T NORTHERN . mvmom A Little Bitfor Life.

When Mrs. Strathy removed to Port Hope the weekly charity to Mrs. L--- was con- tinued, the bread tickets being substi- tuted with an equivalent -in money, generally `amounting to twenty-ve cents.

She was puzzled at rst with the ques- tion of its disposal, but found relief in forcibly removing a section of the floor of her house and concealing her treas- ure in the cavity, taking care to replace the plank in such a manner as to cover all evidences of what might be hidden underneath. Then she went to the house of a Front street lady whom she knew she could trust with her secret, and to her she condentially whispered the news of her good fortune, express- ing a wish that her friend, who under- stood the working of problems in n- ance, bank the money for her against a rainy day.
