I went to a doctor, and he told nae I had heart trouble and that my nerves were all unstrung. I took his medicine, as he ordered me to do, but it did me no good. I then started to take Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills, and had only taken one box before I started to feel better so I con- tinued their use until I had taken several boxes, and I am now strong and well, and able to do my own work. When I commenced taking your pills I weighed 125 pounds, and now weigh 185 and have given birth to a lovely daughter, which was a happy thing in the family.

NOTES AND COMMENTS Nineteen hundred and nine bide fair for Canada to be a year of increases right along the line. It matters not in. to what particular department of activ- ity one examines, as the months go by with almost monotonous regularity the figures show substantial increases over the corresponding periods of last year. Building, railway trade figures, all show the same tendenoy. The trade returns for the Dominion for June are no ex- ception to the rule, the month showing an increase over Jane of last year of no Iess than $9,628 898. For the first quar- ter of the present fiscal year the increase totals the large sum .of $20,686,824. As stated in the Ottawa dispatch published elsewhere so rapid has been the recovery from the de preset= of last year, that the trade re- turns are now but little below high water mark figures of 1907. Imports or ex- ports all tell the same story of abound- ing prosperity. -Regina Leader. ONTARIO'S AGRICULTURAL GREATNESS. Mr. 0.0. James, the Provincial Dep- uty Minister of Agriculture, has been presenting the Toronto Board of Trade with some intetesting information rela- tive to the importance, from an agricul- tural point of view, of the province of Ontario. The settled area of Ontario includes 24,500,000 sores, of whish 14,000,000 acres are cleared, 5,500,000 acres wood- land, 2,000,000 acres elashland, and 3,- 000,000 sores swamp, dwell or waste land. Of the 24,500,000 sores, 23,000,000 novae lie in what is known as Old Ontar- io, and were settled between 1788 and 1860. There are besides in the north country scattered tracts of land aggre- gating 1,500,000 sores in extent and set- tled wi bin the last few years. For agricultural purpnses we have to add another area of 16,000,000 acres emcee - pied and only partly explored as yet. It is known only as the clay belt, and is be- ing opened up by the National Trenscon- tineutat Railway. In 1896 Ontario produced $12,000,000 worth of beef, $10,000,000 in bacon and pork, and $9,000,000 IA cheese, In 1906 the corresponding figures were $27,200,- 000,122,500,000, and $15,000,000. Ia ten years the aggregate value of these three commodities rose from $31,000,000 to $64.700,000. The number of horses on Ontario The Nerves Not Understood By molt people and by merely sloe -tore --Hence their treetmbnts fall. It is not so 'very navy yeats since die- eases of the nerves were attributed to thr presence of evil spirits and more reeent- ly snilerers from netvous derangealente have been told that they only imagine they are sick. Now the very beat authorities claim as did Dr. Chase that the only way to cure diseases of the nerves is to mnakb the blood rich, red and nntritiou* and to build up the wasted nerve cells by sues treatment ss 1», Chaee'a Nerve ly'ood. Mrs. W. R, Sutherland, St. Andrews, Man., writes: "In 1003 I west Ittieke* with paralysis, fell helplessly to the floor and had to be tarried to bed. The doctors pronounced it a bad chase es I had no power in my tongue end 40 leg. For six months f lay in that Con- dition without benefit from the doe- ters' premeriptione. My husband ad. vieed me to try I)r.

The total value of live stock on the farme 10058588 from $104,000,000 in 1898 to.$189,500,000 in 1907, and the value of farm lands, buildings bud implements teem 1928,000,000 to $1,222,000,000, These figures are wonderfully s10- gaent of the agrioultural progress of Oatarto. There should be still further expansion, though a discouraged note comes recently In the estimate of the director of colonization that the rural population has decreased 114,000. The great May belt of 16,000,000 sores in Northern Ontario, for the discovery of which, credit is due the Ross Govern- ment, is capable of supporting a popula- tion nearly equal to that of older 'Ontar- io. When the National Tranmoontineet- al Railway is built and the Temiskam- ing and Northern Ontario extei,ded to. connect with it a settlement of that Vast area may reasonably be hoped for, and a great addition to the agricultural wealth of the province. There is room for growth in the older portion by more intense Terming. A difficulty, of course, presents itself at present in the scarcity', of farm laborers, EVERY LITTLE MAKES A MUCKLE In one Cow testing assooiation the average production of 126 cows was 520 Ib. milk and 20 ibfat, not very much below the average of exactly 126 cows in another association close by, whioh was 609 ib, milk and 26 lb. fat. But notice how tremendously that compara- tively small difference affects the total yield; for in the one case the 126 cows gave in the month 86,845 1b, milk and 3,267 Ib. fat, but the other lot of 126 cows gave only 65,546 lb. milk and 2,510 lb. fat; or allowing butter fat to be worth 25 cents per Ib., actually a dif. terence of $189 25 in one month, Why are not thoneands more of our dairy oows made to earn an extra dollar and a half per month for their owners? When the owners are perfeotly cer- tain through having tested eaoh cow in the herd individually, whioh animals are bringing in a good profit, then the average yield and the total inoome can be largely increased, Another contrast ahows that 100 cows in one association produced just twenty seven pounds of fat leas than 72 cows in another association 10 miles away; there were thus 26 cows more to be milked and to have capita: looked np in, and to tramp• round on the pastures eating good feed that the other cows could have used to better advantage, for twenty seven pounds lees fat. Weighing and testing is the quiokest and surest way of detecting those that are below par value. School Regulations, (Hamilton Times. ) The department of education ham adopted a set of regulations regarding text -books. Under it the old textbooks authorized last year are not to be used after midsummer vaoetton next year. It is provided that for religious inatruction the Btble or the selected Scripture read - Inge of the International Bible Reading Association, or the Scripture readings adopted by the department of education shall be need, as prescribed by the de- partment of education, and as deter- mined by the school trustees. This is a somewhat delicate matter and the de- partment has sought to wash its hands as much as possible of any responsibility therein, After Jan. I next year, no drawing books will be authorized, and no helps will be furnished for the pupils save that given by the teacher. No text•booke in agrionitnre, household solence or elementary plebe geometry will be regnired, and part of the high school botany will not be authorized.; The school trustees are required to fur- nish sufficient refetenoe books for the use of revile 1n all subjects contained in the schedule. The abolition of a num. ger of text -books indicated; the determin- ation of the department to minimize the importance of the subjects represented without entirely striking the studies off the outriociani.

It may be safely assumed that all modern farmers are interested in fruit. Next to the apple, there is no fruit in such general demand as the pear. IIow to make a pear tree most produc- tive is a subject that must interest every fruit raiser. Success begins with proper pruning. In pruning the pear orchard a sym- metrical shape should be given the trees, according to the form that the BEFORE :BRUNING. grower has decided upon. The pyram- idal form is preferable. trimmed to a leader. This is begun wben the tree Is young by cutting the lower branches to four or Sve buds, the higher ones a. little shorter. and so ou to the leader, which should be left longest. The cutting back and thinning out must continue annually to obtain the highest results, Iiow closely this should, be done depends upon the vari- ety and the vigor of the tree. Some trees have a tendency to set more fruit than do others. It is necessary to\ watch the orchard and trim trees so AFTER PRUNING. inclined more severely; otherwise they will overbear and, becoming exhaust- ed, go into decline. If a tree has become exhausted and stunted from overbearing or other cause it may be revived by cutting back into the old wood and allowing the tree to make a top of new wood. This bas been repeatedly and success- fully done. The person who trims should be able to tell what to cut, how to cut, wby be cuts and the probable effect of the pruning upon the tree.
