Our friends will\nbe pleased to know that OUR\nBONA FIDE PAID CIRCULATION IS LARGER THAN EVER\nBEFORE IN THE PAPER'S\nHISTORY and is steadily growing.\nBut we are determined to make it grow faster yet, and we want\nevery reader to help us.\nMORE SUBSCRIBERS\nMEANS\nMORE ADVERTISERS\nand more of both means A BETTER PAPER. Two weeks\nago we directed attention to a very interesting book entitled\nAmong the An-ko-me-nums\nwhich had just been published by Rev. Thos. Crosby of Sardis,\nB.C., the well known Indian missionary. Believing that this excellent book should be in every home in this community, we have\nmade special arrangements whereby we are able to offer it\nFREE\nTHE FARMERS' fORUM.\nEggs for Hatching.\nWhether for natural or artificial incubation one of the prime\nrequisites is that the eggs be in\nfirst-class condition when put under the hen or in the incubator.\nFailure to observe this point\nmust result in disappointment.\nIn discussing the care of eggs\nintended for hatching purposes,\nWallace's Farmer says: In a\ntin pan, uncovered, on the cupboard shelf may be fifty eggs for\nhatching. It is possible with a\nfarm flock that forty-five of these\nwill have germs vigorous enough\nto reach the hatching point if\nproperly cared for. It is also\npossible that ten to fifteen of\nthese germs are on the top of the\npan, and exposed to a constant\ncurrent of air. As the egg shell\nis porous, there is a constant\nevaporation, noticeable in the increase of the size of the air cell\nfrom day to day. These top\ngerms may be weakened after a\nfew days of such exposure as to\nlack vitality to live through the\nperiod of incubation. If they die\nduring this period no special regret is felt so long as most of the\neggs hatch well, but the hatching of ten chicks where it might\nhave been possible to have hatched thirteen by handling the eggs\nas tenderly as one handles the\nbaby chick and protecting it from\ninjury before setting as we protect the chick after hatching, is\na leak which if stopped would\nadd to our profits.\n\"Eggs for hatching keep best\nin a uniform temperature of about\n45 degrees. They should be protected from drafts, jolts, and extremes of temperature. They\nshould be gathered frequently in\ncold weather to avoid chilling\nand in warm weather to prevent\noverheating by remaining in a\nnest frequented by several hens.\nIf they are soiled, wash them as\nsoon as gathered, and rinse well,\nleaving the shell clean and porous. To simply smear the dirt\nover the surface by wiping is to\nclose the pores, and prevent the\negg hatching. If the marks are\nonly from muddy feet the eggs\ndo not require such thorough\ncleaning. Badly soiled eggs may\nbe soaked to advantage. To half\nwash eggs which have been soiled\nby a broken egg in the nest is to\ninjure them for hatching. Use\nthe same thought for the germ,\nthe chick in the egg, that you\nuse for the chick out of the egg.\"\nFor three new paid subscriptions; for two new paid subscriptions\nand 40c extra.\nFor one new paid subscription and 75c extra.\nOr, we will send the book to old subscribers, not in arrears, who\nwill pay for a year's subscription in advance, for $1.00 extra.\nCurious Advertisements.\nThe regular price is $1.25, at which price we will sell it to anybody. \"Annual sale now on-Dont\ngo elsewhere to be cheated\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDcome\n :o. inhere.\"\n_ <\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD \"^ lady wanted to se\" ner\nHUP PIlllimtlfY I Itvi piano, as she is going away in a\nlIUl blUDDinU LIST strong iron frame.\"\nVUI VIUUUIMg klOl \"Furnished apartments suitable\nThe Daily Mail and Empire $2.00 &JP\"**>* Wkh foMin\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDr\nThe Fraser Advance .JM Ji\t\n^3^\nwszv^m%\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD^5Z THE FItASER ADVANCE, CHILLIWACK, B.

The magistrate found the\nlaw to read \"that any person\nfound drunk was liable to fine or\nimprisonment; and ruled that\naccording to the decision of the\nSupreme Court \"women were not\npersons, and could not be imprisoned nor fined,\" so the prisoner was discharged.\nAs a result the legislature\npromptly passed an \"Act\" \"designating women as persons;\" so\nMiss French was allowed her degree in law.\nBut no study of woman's po^\nlitical progress can be just that\ndoes not take into account her\nrapid and enormous development\nin the faculty of organization,\nand in intelligent interest in public concerns. These are absolutely essential to the formation\nof a democracy, to the wise and\nsafe exercise of the suffrage; and\nit is precisely in these that the\nphenomenal record of the woman's movement is most clear.\nThe strongest proof of woman's\nlong inferiority is her lack of association; only in religious bodies\nwas she allowed to organize; and\nthe strongest proof of her rapid\napproach to equality is in the uncounted thousands who now\ngather together in Clubs and Societies of every description, charitable, reformatory, educational,\nsocial, political: and of all sizes,\nfrom the handful of the \"Ladies\nLiterary\" to the International\nCouncil of Women, which in 1899\nrepresented through its many\nconstituents national organizations a membership of six million.\nIn the next Quinquennial meeting of 1904 the National Councils\njoining had doubled in number,\nbut the sum of their respective\nmemberships is not at hand.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\nCharlotte Perkins Gilman in the\nMay Woman's Home Companion.\nMUNICIPAL NOTICE.\nSealed Tenders will be received by\nthe undersigned up to 12 o'clock noon\non Saturday, the 4th day of May, 1907,\nfor the removal of the Camp Slough\nBridg- at Jespersons.
