The bench or main part is made from a. 3-inch board four feet long and one foot wide. Put in legs, round off the edges and ends so as to form acomfortnble sent. If the top is padded, so much the better. For the clamps use two pieces of 2x4 white oak lumber, about 15 inches long. Shape as represented in the Illustration and fasten the one on the ”v; A HARNEKS HORS F3. right firmly to the bench. Secure the other with two hinges so that it can be moved back and forth. Pass a strong leather strap from this through a Iiole near the top of the opposite part of the clamp, down through another in the bench and attach to the foot, lever. The piece of harness to be mended is put between the clamps and securely fastened by mean 5 of the lever and strap. Such a. horse is very easily made and will enable one, during idle times this Winter, ‘to easily repair harness which otherwise would have to be taken to the shop. Poultry Pointers- It is not wise to sell off the old hens, as they will lay Well the second year or even longer, ‘if they are leghorns, and these ma.- ture birds are just what are needed to place in the breeding pen if we wish strong, vig- )I‘OIIS chicks. Nothing causes deteriora- tion sooner than the breeding from imma- ture parents. Farm poultry probably suffer in many cases from iii-breeding. As often as every second year acock should be bought that is fullof vigor and fresh blood and employed to build up the strength and stamina of the flock. It costslittle money for a grand pure bred cockerel at this season when breeders have a. surplus of males for which they neither have room nor inclination to keep over winter. If eggs are the chief desider. Ltum, one cannot go astray in procurinc a ively \Vhite Leghorn cockerel. 5' Avoid high roosts.

For nearly thirty years in commercial circles the name of the British American Business College of Toronto has been asso- ciated with high-class training and thor- oughness in the men and women they turn ellt, branches of commercial life ; and try-day among the successful men of the Dominion, in thrivurimis branches of our commercml industries their graduates can be counted by the thousands. When in Toronto rc- l ccntly, we had the pleasure ofvisit-ing their magnificent premises in the Contederution Life Building, which occupies the whole of the fourth floor in the western section of the . building, comprising the most magnificent ' suite of rooms ever devoted to the purposes of business and shorthand education in ('Jradn. The portion occupied by theCoInge fronts on Yonge and Richmond Sis. ,nnd comprises 21:: area of about 6500 square feet, which has been divided into six magnificent rooms opening from spacious and imposing corri- dors. These are beautifully Iiglitedmnd ven- tilated by air exhaust tops driven by electricity, supplying hot air in winter and cold air in summer, besides constantly drawing of} the vitiated air. The building is heated with steam and lit by both electric light and ng, whilst the lavatorics lire perfectly arranged rooms floored and fitted up in white marble. â€" There are four large electric elevators of the most recent rind improved make, one of which is for the special use of the pupils and patrons of the college. I-lverytliingr to insure the health, comfort and convenience of the students has been carefully planned and arranged and every room hiis been fitt- ed up in ii style superior to anything of its kind in ‘_'a.iiad.i. In the front part of the building facing Young S"., a room in itself :is large as that occupied by the average college, is situated the commercial department. In here is taught what formerly constituted the en- tire curriculum of acommcreinl school. Lead- ing from this department is a. special drill room for commercial and cash book work, where classes of about twenty at a time are put through a. special drill on their work. Out of this room we gointo the typewriting department; this is the room where scholars do legal and commercial typewriting from their own notes, which is revised by the head teacher in this branch of study. Opposite this room accross the‘corridor is the stencgraphy department; this is a. very important branch of a. commercial educa- tion and is presided over by a very eflicient and painstaking teacher. This is also a very large and well arranged room with all the aids in it which a. truly modern school could obtain. Mr. Connor O'Dea has been connected with this college for over thirty years, and is well known throughout Canada. and the United States as one of the greatest experts in penmanship on the continent, and thou- sands of young men attribute much of their success in business to the proficiency they attainedin this respect While at the British American College. Mr. David Hoskins has been on the stall of the British American College since 1882 during which time he has had charge of the junior commer2ial depart‘ ment and has superintended the work of the shorthand and typewriting depurtmen ts. The Toronto Mail, which in its issue of April 22nd of this year published his por- trait, speaks of him as follows: “ Mr. Hoskins is a. thoroughly trnined accountant. a. first cliss penmen, a skilful shorthander, and is conceded to be one of the ablest all roundcommercial teachers in the profession. This old and reliable institution numbers among its former pupils such men as W. I). h‘Iatliews, cit-president of Toronto Board of Trade; R. T. Coady, Toronto City Treasurer: Emerson Coatsworth, Chester and E. H. Massey, G. W. Kiely, Hugh Blain, S. B. Beak, manager London Street Railway; and hundreds of prominent and successful busmess men throughout the Dominion. We were informed by Mr. O'Dezi that they were completing a. very successful fiill term, having an exceptionally large attend- ance of both young men and women, “but,” continued he, ‘ ‘our system of instruction is Such that pupils may enter at any date.” sult: of lofty perches, for the fowl descend- ing from a great height fails to overcome the momentum and strikes the ground with great force. This, if repeatedly occurring, causes inflammation and hard swelling upon the center of the feet. The treatment of affected individuals consists in opening the swelled portion to give free vent to the pus, and the application of poulticea and healing salve. There is no better mixture ofgrain for gen- eral poultry feeding than one-half oats and one-half wheat. As long as wheat is as cheap as it has been for the last year or more, there is no excuse for not feeding it liberally, especially when alone it comes us near forming a. perfect teed as any grain in existence. Then oats contain in the kernel much nitrogenous matter for the foundation of bone, tissue and muscle. The only objection to oats is the large propor- tion of husk to meat. \Vheat, therefore is excellent to go with oats. It will be time shortly to mate the ducks for breeding. One drake to five ducks is the proportion. As the drekes do, not trouble one another much, several sets of birds can be kept in one pen-say twenty-five ducks in all. Some breeders,to be sure, allow as many as fifty to run to- gether, but many small flocks are much to be preferred to few large ones, as the ducks are easily frightened and, when in large numbers,they crowd and push one another, oftentimes to the extent of severe injury.
