Mr. James Bryant, Arichat, N.S., was
troubled with hie back and used Doan's
Kidney Pills, ho writes:-" I cannot say
too much about the benefit I received after
using three boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills.
I was greatly troubled with an aching pain
across the small of my beck. I could not
go to work and my back was so weak I
would have to it down. It would go away
for a few days but would always return.
I was advised to try Doan's Kidney Pills

NOTES AND COMMENTS
Daring 190S, 11,000 saloons were vot-
ed oat of existence in the United States
adding 325,000 square miles in area
and 4,300,000 in population to territory,
Beginning with January 1, 1909, there
were eight prohibition states. Daring
the year there will be legislature fights
in nine other states for statewide pro-
hibition. Washington and Idaho, both
now marked "wet" will "go local
option" at the next legislative sessions
of the states. At the next session of the
Legislatuae of Tennessee a majority of
the members (already elected) are
pledged to vote for statewide prohibi-
tion. Gov. Patterson will veto the bill,
but in that state a mere majority of the
Legislature can override the governor's
veto. -Collier's Weekly.
An analysis of the personnel of the
New House of Commons with respect
to places of birth and religions gives
the following interesting figures : -In
the last Parliament there were 200
native-born Canadians; in the new
House the native-born number 204.
There are six English born as compared
with four in the last House. Ireland
sent four sons to the old House, but
there are only two native Irishmen in
the new House. In eaoh House the
membership included three men who
were born in the United States. Soot -
land had three representatives in the
last House; now it has only two. The
new House also inclndes one member
who was born in South ,America. By
religions the figures were equally inter-
esting: -The Roman Catholics are of
exactly the same as in the old House,
the figure in eaoh case being 70. The
Presbyterians number 46 in the new
Home; last year they had 47, The
Methodist Church is represented by 50
in the new House, as against 50 in
the last Parliament. The Church of
England has 41 as against 42. The
Baptists numbered eight in the form-
er House; in this they number six. One
addition to the religions is a Universa-
list. The Congregationalists are two
the same as last year, and there is one
Lutheran and one Farringdon Indepen-
dent, just as in the last House.
The British Museum has lately been
celebrating its 150th anniversary.
Bilious Spells
A HABIT
Year after year you suffer from attacks of
bilious headache, indigestion, constipation al.
temating with looseness of the bowels, dizzi.
nest, despondency and ill temper, until your
trouble becomes a habit, or develops into
Blight's disease of the kidneys.
You can break this chain of bondage by
the use of
Dr., A. W. Chase's
Kidney -Liver Pills
They cure biliousness and constipation by
reason of their direct and specific action on the
livr, ensuring the filtering of the bile from the
blood, where it is poison, and passing it into
the intestines where it is necessary to aid diges-
tien and regulate the bowels. This great
medicine h backed by the skill and integnt of
the famous Receipt Book author, A.W.Chase,

OUR POSTAL RECORD.
Perhaps nothing so forcibly brings
home to the average reader a realizat•
ion of the growing importance of Oan-
ada'a business as the :poet office statis-
tics. The figures are striking. There
were 11,823 Wilma in the Dominion re•
porting last year. The increase of the
number of letters carried over that of
the previous year was nearly 32,000,000,
an increase hardly up to the ratio of
1006 which is accounted for by the wave
of depression. The showing made,
however, is an encouraging one, as the
figures show:
Letters .,.396,011,000
Postcards 40,664,000
Registered lettere 9,078,000
Free letters 13,207,000
Third olass matter pieces,,,, 76,496,000
Fourth class paokages 6,178,000

SAID TO BE FINE.
This Simple Home -Made Treatment
Will Overcome Rheumatism.
Few people here know that you can
cure that dread Amerioan disease,
Rheumatism, with just common every-
day drugs found in any drug store.
The presoription is Bo .simple that any
one can prepare it at home at small
cost. It is made up as follows: Get
from any good presoription pharmaoy
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Mix by shaking in a bottle
and take in teaspoonful doses after
eaoh meal and at bedtime, These are
all simple ingredients, making an ab-
solutely harmless home remedy at little
008t.
Rheumatism, as every one knows, is
a symptom of deranged kidneys. It is
a condition produced by the failure of
the kidneys to properly filter or strain
from the blood the nrio acid and other
matter, which, if not eradicated, either
in the urine or through the skin pores,
remains in the blood, decomposes and
forma about the joints and muscles,
causing the untold suffering and de-
formity of rheumatism.
This presoription is said to be a
splendid healing, cleansing and invig-
orating tonin to the kidneys, and gives
almost immediate relief in all forma of
bladder and urinary troubles and back-
ache.
CANADIAN FARM VALUES.
Some interesting facts are brought
out in the latest bulletin iesned by the
census and atatistios branch of the
Dominion department of agrionitnre,
The bulletin deals with Canadian farm
values, and places the average per acre
for the whole of the Dominion at $35.70:
Ontario stands seoond in the list, being
considerably below British Columbia,
while only three provinces range above
the average, as will be seen from the
following table:
British Columbia $76.10
Ontario 47.30
Quebec 41,90
Prince Edward Island 83.7G
Manitoba 27.30
Nova Scotia . 25,00
New Brunswiok 21.40
Saskatchewan 20,40
Alberta 18.20
British Columbia's lead is ascribed
to the fact that a large part of the area
under onitivation in that province is
devoted to fruit -growing. To a lesser
extent than British Columbia, but more
than any of the other provinces, On-
tario is also interested in hortioniture.
It would seem that fruit -raising, where
Boil and climatic conditions aro favor-
able, is the most profitable line the
farmer oan engage in.
Quebec, unlike the other provinces,
no longer exports wheat. It is said that
not enough of that cereal is now grown
there to feed one-quarter of its inhab•
itants, but the dairy industry has been
greatly developed, the result being that
the province is a good second to On-
tario.
Aa regards farm animals there is also
a difference in values, though lees mark-
ed than in lands. For instance, the
average valve of a farm horse 3 years
old and over is given at $141 in Ontario,
$140 in Quebec, and New Brunswick,
$119 in Prince Edward Island, and $112
in Nova Scotia, the average for the whole
Dominion being $143, whiohie accounted
for by the high values in the west. In
Ontario reticle cows are valued at $36, in
Qaobeo at $32, in Nova Scotia at $30, and
in the other eaetern provinces, $29. The
valve of sheep is placed at $5,91 per head
in Onterio,$4,97 in Qnebeo,$4.46 in Prinoe
Edward Island, $3.86 in New Bruns-
wick, and 83.81 in Nova Scotia. The
Province tit Qnebeo takes the lead in
hogs, being given a valuation of $6.72
per hundredweight, live weight, as
against $5.91 in Ontario, 85.87 in Nova
Bootie, $5 68 in Prince Edward Island,
and $5.58 in New Brunswick.

Given in a Series of Questions by
Rev. .Dr. Linscott.

STEPHEN THE FIRST CHRISTIAN
MARTYR, -Ants vi:1 to viii:3,
Golden Text. -They stoned Stephen
oalling upon God, and saying, Lord
Jenna, reoeive my spirit. Acts vii:59.
Study Acts vi:8.15; vii:54 to viii:3.
Verse 8. -Who was Stephen?
In view of present day dietinotions,
would you call Stephen a layman or a
clergyman?
Why is it not a crime against the
gospel, that the preaching of the
gospel is so professionalized. that
our pulpits today in the towns and
cities are practically closed to the
laymen of the church, so that even
men like Stephen, have to "keep
silent" in our church pulpits? (This
question must be answered in writ-
ing by members of the club.)
What was the secret of Stephen's
power as a preacher, and to what ex-
tent may every layman become like
him?
Verse 9. -When in a community of
thoughtful men, who oppose the gospel,
can its claims be established better by
debate than by ordinary preaching or
declamation?
Verse 10. -If you defeat an opposer
in a debate, that is not likely to convert
him to Christianity; unless he is a sin-
cere seeker after truth, but is it likely
to convert the hearers?
Verses 11 -13, -What effeot did Steph-
en's victory have upon his opponents,
and what effect did it probably have
upon the audience?
Is there any necessary •moral value
in mere opinion, and will men ever be
condemned because of wrong doctrines,
1, e. wrong opinions?
When a man with right views of
truth, gets angry at the man with
wrong views, and does mean things to
him, that the latter takes with gentle-
ness; which is likely to be the better
man of the two?
Why is it that men who profess re-
ligion, can act so like devils, when new
truth is presented to them as in this
Dasa?
Verse 14. -Can a man's word in a
religions dispute, be depended upon, on
a matter of fact, if he is untrue to his
conscience and to God?
How is it that unrighteous men will
fight for their false religious creeds, and
shrink from no sort of rasoality to ac.
complish their purpose?
Can you give any other reason than
their aurighteoueness, or assign, to any
other principle, the hatred of these men
for se lovely a oharaoter as Stephen?
Verse 15. -Did the faot that Ste-
phen looked like an angel, make his
persecutors love him, or hate him
more?
Ohap. 7, Verse 54, -What is it which
oats wrong doers to the heart more than
anything else?
If the rulers had been innocent of the
charge Stephen brought against them,
would they have been out to the heart
as they were?
Verse 55. -What do yon understand
by Stephen being full of the Holy
Spirit?
What did Stephen see when he looked
up to heaven?
Would the onlookers have probably
seen the same things as Stephen, if they
had looked up?
Verses 56.57. -Did they believe Ste-
phen's testimony as to what he saw?
Do cold professors of religion as a
rule, have any confidence in the exper-
iences of those who walk and talk with
God?
Verse 58, -How would these people
justify themselves, for committing this
great prime?
What wag the method of stoning a
victim to death?
Verses 59.60. -Does the spirit sleep at
death, or go into a state of oonscious
presence with God?
By what power can a man love or
forgive his murderers?
Chap. 8, Verses 1.3. -What was the
measure of Saul's sin in the stoning of
Stephen?
What were the chief results of the
stoning of Stephen.

Divide the fowls, so that there will

that the stronger birds get too much

See that there is some ventilation, but
not too much.
There are many farmers Who are
wondering why they do not get winter
eggs, and yet these men permit the
birds to wander through the stables and
hay-mowa, roosting wherever they one
find a perch, with chilly draughts or

The farmers of the corn belt are com-
ing to realize more and more the value
of silage as a cheap, succulent feed.
For dairy cows it is almost indispensa-
ble if the best results are to be ob.
tained. Experiments, at various sta.
tions show that it may also be used
successfully for fattening steers, sheep
and even hogs. To aid farmers in se-
lecting the type of silo best adapted to
their conditions the Iowa experiment
station has made a thorough investiga-
tion of silo construction and issued a
bulletin on the subject, from which the
following is taken:
Of the silos reported by their own-
ers or visited, 135 were located outside
of the barn and 26 inside. Those lo-
cated inside of a building were largely
of a type not well adapted to be placed
outside. These reports indicate that
a location of the silo outside of all
buildings meets with greater favor
among those using silos. There are
good reasons for this. First, the silo,
with the exception of a few types, is
of such a construction that it does
not need the protection of a covered
building. Second, it is not economical
to place a silo in a building where it
will occupy space which may be put
to other use. Third, a silo located in- '
side of a buildng is often unhandy to
fill. The forage cannot be delivered to
the .cutter conveniently. Fourth, by
locating a silo outside of the building
and only connecting it thereto with
a passage provided with doors, the ob-
jectionable odor of the silage may be
kept out of the building. By arrang-
ing the silo so as to ''he connected to
the feeding room 'with a feed way, it
should be as convenient for feeding as
when located in the building itself. A
very common arrangement is to so lo-
cate the silo tliat the passage way
from silo to barn lc a continuation of
the feed way in the barn. In general,
it seems that there are few advantages
in building a silo inside of a building
and many in building it outside.
Square silos are practically a thing
of the past. They were developed be-
fore the round silo, but generally gave
trouble by the bulging of the straight
sides and the spoiling of the silage in
the corners. In addition to this the
material of construction is not so eco-
nomically used or distributed to resist

the pressure of the silage as iu the
round silo. The first two difficulties
were somewhat reduced by filling the
corners of the square silo, making it
octagonal. However, this was only a
transitional stage in the development
of the round silo, and very few are in
use.
Where brick may be secured at a
reasonable price it may be used for
silo construction with good results.
Several brick silos were investigated,
and a8 a whole they were very satis-
factory. The chief trouble with their
erection seemed to be with the rein-
forcement. Attempts to build brick
r9.los without any reinforcement re-
sulted in faihires as far as investigat
ed. The solid wall brick silo is not
,mach, if any, better than the stave silo
es far as protection from fre5zing is
concerned. The wall is usually eight
inches thick and re -enforced by hoops
or bands on the outside. The inside
must be plastered with cement plaster
to make the walls air and water tight.
Out of the 124 silos reported in
Iowa eighty-two were of the stave
type. There is no doubt whatever but
that the stave silo is a thoroughly es-
tablished success. The measure of
success depends largely, however, upon
the method of construction, material
used and care that is taken of the silo.
A few years ago it could have been
said that concrete Silos were in the
experimental stage, but now it has
been demonstrated by the success of
many of them that concrete is one of
the best building materials from which
to construct permanent silos. Consid-
ering that the general use of concrete
has been developed within a very few
years and the majority of concrete
silos have been built by men with lit-
tle or no experience the success of the
concrete silo has been remarkable.
The silo may be made an ornament
to any group of farm buildings. Its
form is such that it may be made to
add to the Appearance of any style of
Construction. One or more conical silo
roofs when viewed from a distance or
the full height of the curved walls at
tt closer range gives a., very pleasing
effect when placed iu a Setting of rec-
tangular buildings, " ,
