BEST COUGH MEDICINE FOR CHILDREN.

The fault of giving- children medicine

containing injurious substances is sometimes more harmful than the disease from which they may be suffering. Every, mother should know that Chamberlain's Cough Seniedy is perfectly safe. It contains no OiHum or other narcotic, is pleasant to take, and for coughs, colds, and croup it is unsurpassed. For sale by, all dealers. '

handsome appea.ra.nce and dignified and stately bearing in the show pan never fail to attract attention. May they regain their old popularity. The Dorking, too, seems to be losing ground in every direction. Even the farmer is discarding the game and Dorking cross for producing table fowls for one in which the buff Orpington or some other breed of this type takes the chief place. This seems a great pity, for we had almost come to look upon the Dorking as a national Yes, it seems under somewhat of a cloud at present, but it will hold its own again when some of its present more popular rivals are nearly forgotten. The lOreeds I have just mentioned, however, are poularity itself compared with those I am about to name — the black Spanish, the Polish, and some of the French breeds, for instance. These are all extremely handsome birds, and if not particularly good layers

now, they certainly were in the past. The opinion expressed in the foregoing -paragraph is also held by most of the old " and experienced fanciers at this side of the world, and apparently they have the best of reasons for thinking as they do. What after all are the breeds now so popular but crosses derived from the varieties at present displaced in their favour? In a few genera-

"tions these crossbred or made breeds, will naturally idse" their freshness, and the "old ,- pures," now going as it were "fallow," must consequently come to the front again, favoured, first of all, as pures, and by-and-tye again, valued for their usefulness as bases jfor.more new breeds.
