Then Dr. Forceps turned to get a little •harp-pointed instrument which Is al ways associated In a patient’s mind with the pictures of mediaeval tor furs chambers. Unhappily, however, the particular taatxument which the doctor wanted was not at hand. Then —it was a strange thing to happen to the doctor-he remembered he had left ft an the table la the little reception room downstairs. “Mrs. Nevtna,” be said to the patient, “bold your mouth open till I come baek. Under no cir cumstances does It. or you win undo all that I have thus far dooe.” Then Dr. Forceps went downstairs. > The widow lay back In the operat ing chair and stoically kept her mouth open.

Although many farmers refuse to allow ducks or gecee to be kept on the farms because, as they say, they are too troublesome, nevertheless both are aaaUy kept and exceedingly profitable when rightly managed. During the •pring and summer months both will gather their food in any old pasture where hog* or cattle would starve. They do l»eat when allowed a pond or stream of water to swim In, but they con bo kept with only sufficient water for drinking. The young grow rapid ly. and after the first few weeks they, require no nn||M to feed.

They do not Uy during the winter months, but from Febmary to August win a scrag* from 100 to eggs each. Dressed docks and geeae always bring good price* during the fall and winter mooths, and tha feathers, which may be plucked during the spring and sum mer. will more then pay for tha coat of raising. They are groat foragers, but aay kind of a low fence will keep them la bounds. We are Inclined to think that tha prejudice against them to mostly due to the fact that farmers have nbt tried the pore btoqda of the present dny. Every farmer should pos sess a flock of both docks and geese.— Home and Farm. i «*•«« Wa*4a U4 Litter rw -Urea Sack forma of vegetable production aa weeds vines, etolks, etc,.

The distance apart and length of these uprights win be dependent upon the length of the sled box. Gouge out n V-shaped notch In top of each of the taro rear uprights, and make a square or rectangular notch In tops of two front one*. Make a box of the dimen sions thought most suitable for the object in view, a little longer than btfoad. however. In all cases. Pot a two by four inch crosspiece on bottom' of box near the centr?7 Bound off the projecting ends of this croaaplece to fit in the tope of rear upright* of run ner*. Put another lighter croaaplece on bottom of box In front of the other, at right point to hare Its projecting ends rest In the top notches of the front up right*. Over the ends of the centre croaaplece, that rest In the rounded notches, put Iron straps, or clip#, to prevent the ends of crosspiece from moving out of place and yet allow them to turn 'In the notches. The front of box can now be raised, the centre crosspiece on bottom acting as a pivot by reason of Its rounded ends. A framework is put up Inside the four uprights, extending under front of box, and being braced as Is shown in tbs Illustration. To ksep box from dumping while the alad la being loaded or In transit, the front end Is fastened down to this framework by a hinge hasp and staple, such as are used to hold shut tbs lid of a chest, a door, etc. If the croespiece which set* a* pivot I* placed a little tn front of box centre, the tied when evenly loaded will dump ttaelf ae soon at hasp I* disengaged; If a little to the rear of centre, the front of box will have to be raised by hand when desiring to damp It.

HAVING been appointed a del - agate to this ccftlgTeee by the Department of Agriculture of the Province of Ontario, it la with some degree of timid ity that I attempt to addreee ao Urge and distinguished au assemblage of public spirited repreeentativse gath ered from so many distant States and Buiepean countries, on ao Important a subject and of such wide national Interest as that of good roads. Having followed with deep Interest the progress of tbe good roads move ment of recent years In both the United State* and Canada, I desire briefly to touch upon a few points of the good roads question from the farmer’s point of view. If It U sound public policy and tbe true function of government to do in the Interest of tbe community as a whole all thoio thing* which the Indi vidual cannot well do by himself, does It not appear dear that the State should pay tho whole coet for Improv ing lta main thoroughfares? These are to be tbe leading arteries connecting all business centres, and continuing from county to county across tbe en tire Stats and separata from the many other local roads to be cared for by tbe local authorities. * - in* principle or Btate built highway* appears to be as old as civilisation Itself, being adopted by the first ex tensive builders of good roads—the Carthaginians sad Romans. Not stuco tbe bnUdlng by tbe latter of the Ap plan Way and the 03,000 miles of solid roads across that ancient empire sod which remain as monuments of their wisdom to this day, has any country obtained the price lees boon of good roads without some measure of State aid. Let the State first build Its main highways and they will be ever pres ent object lessons to tbs local authori ties for constructing the other roads. Tbe length and number of streets In the city ere short end small compered with tho compact concentration of wealth, thus making the burden of coot comparatively light for street Im provement. In the country districts the length and number of only the loading highways to be improved are so far out of proportion to the sparsely settled and scattered wealth of tho farming communities that It Is entirely oni of the questlos for the farmers alone to think of paying the much larger comparative coot for aueh first class stone roads as are required. The farmers hare always borne their share, sometimes more than tbeir fair share, of needful taxation, and will not object to paying their just part for Bute built , good roods. . Partial measures of Bute aid ore step# in the right direction, so far as they go. I would not say anything In disparagement of the good work and the very commendable degree of prog ress that has been made under the partial systems of State aid for good roads In those leading States of New Jersey. Connecticut and New Tort But In the foremoat Bute, Massachu aetta, which has adopted more nearly the European and Roman systems, we find the nearest to the Ideal plan, a continuous system of good roads bunt across the entire State, under compe tent Bute authority. The work la pro jected and tbe roads properly located where they will be of tbe greatest good to tbe greatest number. The State builds the roads and pays the whole coot, and afterwards charges one fourth of It to the county through which tbe road is built This far less complicated system overcome* an Im mense amount of difflcultles, draw backs and delays with the less enter prising local authorities of county 01 township. Let tbs central governments of the United States and Canada build Ideal continental highways from ocean to ocsan. Let tbs States and province* build similar highways from border to border. Let the European nations ex pand so*n« of their war mill lorn in building Ideal highways from Europe *eroaa Asia, thereby placing Western civilisation in doaer touch with the Chinas* and other Oriental*. Let th* United States and England build good rands la th# Philippines and Booth Africa, and they will morn effectually pacify th* PlUplaoa apd Boar* at far teas cost than by aa* of th* cannon— J- I*, ban.
