The Guernsey bull stood the journey very well in¬ 
deed. We are pleased beyond our most sanguine 
expectations with him. He is a ffne animal. Many 
have called to look at him; all pronounce him some¬ 
thing extra good. There are a great many Cana¬ 
dians here. It would do yon good to hear them say: 
"He beats anything we ever saw in Canada." I’ll 
try to give him as good care as possible and hope 
that he will continue to grow in the appreciation of 
mv neighbors and friends. Many thanks from

The English language is constantly receiving ad¬ 
ditions. Most of these words are expressive if not 
elegant. “ Hustlers ’ is the modern name given to 
people of great activity. They are the people who 
make the wheels of progress and accomplishment 
go around. But “hustling'’ is very expensive, 
as far as the vital power is concerned. . How 
Rome people are able to “hustle" is a mystery 
to their friendB. Here is an interesting explanation 
of one such case: 
Drs. Starkey &Pat,en, Philadelphia:— 
“DearSirs: As you are aware that I have thor¬ 
oughly tested the merits of Compound Oxygen, 
yon ask me what my experience with it has been. 
In reply l wonld say that my personal experi¬ 
ence with it has been most satisfactory, and that 
Its use by other members of my family has been 
in the highest degree gratifying. Indeed, In such 
high esteem do we hold it, that we would not 
undertake to keep house without having it con¬ 
stantly on hand. 
“8o far as mv personal experience is con¬ 
cerned, I have used it, not as an Invalid, but as 
an unusually healthy man, one ivho has had 
more business devolving on him than any one 
man should attempt to transact, and I wish to 
recommend Compound Oxygen most strongly 
to all over-worked business or professional 
men, who do not class or consider themselves as 
invalids. To the man who is overworked, 
tired out mentally, and worried with business 
more horses are used the tire of which shall be not 
less than three Inches in width, shall receive a rebate 
of one-half of his assessed highway tax for each 
such year, not exceeding, however, in anv one year 
the sum of »4 or four days’ labor. The right to such 
rebate shall not be affected bv the use upon the pub¬ 
lic highways of buggies.carriages or platform spring 
wagons carrying a weigh ^ not exceeding 1.000 pounds. 
Upon making an affidavit showing that he has com¬ 
plied with the provisions of this section during any 
such year, he shall be credited bv the overseer of 
highways of the road district, in which he resides or 
any road district where he is assessed with such re¬ 
bate. Such affidavit mav be taken before anv ovpr- 
seer of highways who is hereby authorized to admin¬ 
ister such oath.

dniCKS Hying.— What ails my little chicks? They 
get nearly nil their feathers, then their wings hang 
down and next morning thev are dead. The trouble 
cannot he due to lice, as the hens have all the dry 
ashes ihev want and I dust them with Persian Tnsect 
Powder. A verv few are stuck un around the vent, 
but the majority seem to have nothing the matter 
with them. They simplv pat, one day and are dpad 
the next,. I put some powder on the chicks them¬ 
selves last, rear and found 20 dead the next morning. 
Vineland, N. J. tv. h. 
Ans. —From all that is given, tbp trouble is prob¬ 
ably owing to lice. Book around the heads for the 
big body lice, regular blood suckers. The cause mav 
be bowel trouble due to cold or dampppss. or slonpv 
or Improper feed. Too much raw. soft, feed some¬ 
times causes trouble. Tt isn’t likely that the insect 
powder bad anything to do with their death. Keep 
them warm and drv: feed a cake made of corn meal 
and coar«e middlings with a little bone flour and 
salt, and give pure water and nlentv of grit. Rub a 
little sweet oil on ton of the head, and brush a little 
kerosene over the hens’ feathers Pee that, they 
have a dust bath, and there should be no trouble. 
Cream Separation.—W ill The Rural give an 
explanation of the separation of cream by the sep¬ 
arator? 
ANR.— There are several different makes of sep¬ 
arators. as well as sIzps for hand or power nsp. but 
cares, and who has a tired and achev feeling at the general principle is the same in a'l. In brief, the 
the base of the brain, it is a boon whose value 
is beyond computation. I attribute the splen¬ 
did health that I have preserved during the 
past few years of great mental labor to the fact 
that whenever wearied or worn out, I have 
restored nature's tired powers by the use of 
Compound Oxygen. That this is nature's own 
remedy, supplying to the system the oxygen, the 
life-giving principle which is needed to replace 
that used up by mental labors and cares, or by 
disease, admits of no doubt. That it is a mag¬ 
nificent remedy for all classes of invalids, there 
can be no question, but I consider it at least 
equal in value to those who have not been in¬ 
valids, but who are traveling In that wav. I would 
remind all such that “ a pint of prevention is 
worth a pound of cure,” and that they can best 
preserve their health by the use of Compound 
Oxygen whenever overworked. You are at liberty 
to use the above as you see fit. 
“ Respectfully yours, 
“R. C MITCHELL, Duluth, Minn ” 
The remedy above referred to has a record of 23 
years and more than 60,000 cases. Address corre¬ 
spondence to Drr. Starkey & Palen. 1529 Arch St., 
Philadelphia, or Chicago, San Francisco, New York, 
and Toronto, Ont.— Adv. 
separator consists of a cvlindrical-shaned steel bowl 
or vessel, ppcased within and mounted unon a frame 
provided with suitable gearing to acquire a hirh 
speed with a minimum exnenditure of operating 
power. The whole milk is fed into this bowl, and the 
cream and skim-milk separately discharged from it, 
the discharge following within half a minute after 
the Inflow, while the machine may be used for a few 
minntes or as many hours—at any time—as maybe 
necessary, according to the amount of work to be 
done. The separation results, as in all other cream¬ 
ing methods, from the difference in specific gravity 
or weight between the cream or fat particles and the 
other parts of milk; this difference—which makes 
possible the separation—being greatly multiplied and 
far more clearly defined through the centrifugal 
force generated bv the revolving speed of the sep¬ 
arating bowl of the machine. 
Diabetic Flour.— What is Cbamplln’s or Far- 
woii's method of making diabetic flour? Of what Is 
It made? What Is the price? subscriber.

61 Fifth Avenue, New York, make what they call 
Special Diabetic Flour, 50 cents per five-pound bag.
