AUSSIES FOR AMERICA.

traiWIGiRATICN RESTRICTIONS.

Australians who contemplate emigration to America would do well to move carefully (says an American paper). American immigration stations have an unenviable reputation, and after travelling thousands of miles across the Pacific it would be an unpleasant experience to discover that the Australian "quota" had been reached.

The American mail steamer Sonoma got away for San Francisco, but not before the cables had been kept humming by messages sent by Mr V. A. Sproul, managing agent of the Oceanic Steamship S.S. Company in Australia. He wanted to make sure of the actual position of Australian emigrants. The office of the company in San Francisco got into communication with Washington, but no word had been received when the Sonoma was ready to leave. Mr Sproul then had an interview with the United States Consul, Mr Lawton, and decided that the vessel should sail.

The position in a nut-shell, as explained by Mr Sproul later, was that anyone who did not intend to earn their living in America need not fear any restrictions when they reached the other side.

Na matter what food is given the fowls, be sure it is the very best that can be procured. It does not pay to buy inferior grain any more than it pays to purchase inferic stock. Some people think that it is economical to buy poultry supplies because they are cheap. "The best is none too good" is a rule as applicable here as anywhere else. _ Only the very- best grains should"be sanctioned. Only the choicest grades of bran, pollard, meat meal, cut lucerne and other foods of this sort should be usjd. There is nothing that will repay one better for good care and food given them than a flock of hens. See to it then that in the matter of foods given them only the best be procured and only the best be fed.
