I tried many remedies and physicians' treatments, but nothing seemed to do vie muck good, and I was becoming very anxious for fear I would become a permanent cripple from the disease. I tried "Fruit-a-tives" and this medicine has entirely cured the and / honestly believe it is the greatest Rheumatism cure in the world." R. R. MILLS. Such a statement could not be bought from a man like Mr. Mills. He think too much of his good name, to sell it or sign it to an untruth. Mr. Mills tried " Pruit-a-tives " after all other treatment failed -and " Fruit -a -fives " cured hint of Rheumatism. In the goodness of his heart, he wrote the above letter in order that sufferers in all parts of Canada would know that there is one remedy that actually dotal cure Rheumatism. This testimonial was entirely unsolicited on our part. Wedid notknow that Mr Mills was taking "Fruit-a-tives" until we received the above letter. It is a case like Mr. Mills' that proves the marvellous powersof "Pruit-a-tives" in arresting and curing disease. It may be stated, without fear of contradiction, that "Fruit-a-tives" will positively cure Rhentisni when properly used. . "Fruit-a-tives" is the only medicine in the world made of fruit juices and is the greatest Rheumatism cure known to modern science. 5oc. a box, 6 for $2.5o, or trial box, 25C.

Many farmers desire to possess superior Cows. but from appearances on the average farm one frequently sees fear, some looking specimens dome duty as bulls. lt forces one to believe that there are unanirotis farmers who do milt care what breed, form, size or oth- er points they own so long as the ani- mals can du the work required. This is an extreteley uulurtuoate at- titude, and when pet in practice, as it A CHAMPION SIIORTHORN. Is far too often, it is quite certain that the stock produced will be of an in- ferior character. It is here the mis- take becomes conspicuous and more noticeable later when the progeny is marketed. Superior cows are very desirable, but . a good bull Is more so, and It should be the ambition ot all to own such, not only as a credit to oneself, but as a mouey getter. A cow may be as good as is possible, but use an inferior bull and ber calf will be moderate, to say the least, but use a substantial bull and ninety-nine chances to one the calf will he better either than the sire or dam. Attempts to breed from a poor class ot cows with a bull of a similar char- acter only resnIts in the production of a lot of weeds, but if a really good bull is used for inferior cows the stock will be improved perceptibly both in appearance and value. pure bred bull of any kind is an acceptable animal, but crossbred ones are doubtful. That some are good it must be admitted, but the majority are rubbish. It does not matter what the object of breeding be -milk produc- tion in the extreme er beef with great development on the most valued parts -a superior bull will always make its mark and have a big sbare in securing all that Is required for ornament and utility. THE VALUABIX SEPARATOR. Should Be Exercised to Keep This Instrument Clean. The aream separator enters into the matter of the production of pure cream as one of the greatest factors of clean- liness. To insure tbe production of cream free from bacterial infection to any marked degree it is necessary to exert the greatest care in tbe keeping clean of the separator. Although the average housewife on the farm may and does use good judgment and pride in taking care of the separator, there are a sufficient number of housewives that do not to require much agitation of the imbject. The separator must be washed after each and every separation if the great- est care is to be exercised and at least once a day if freedom from expensive bacterial infection is desired. Many eases are familiar where no further washing is made other than that of flushing the machine ,out with hot or Cold water. With this manner of wash. Ing ft is impossible to keep clean and free from bacteria any separator. Not only does cleanliness in the mat- ter of washing exert great influence, but it is necessary to locate the sep- arator in a place that Is sanitary as well as convenient. Too often the for- mer factor is forgotten; to often does the farmer place bis separator where it will be the bendiest for him, Care Hogs Pay For Keeping. No animal on the farm is bettet adapted to turning good feed quickly into marketable meat thee the bog, and none can better repay from a mar- ket standpoint a discriminating system of feeding. This is particularly true as to first cost, for the bog is by nature planned to utilize the least expeueive feeds and will manufacture into tooth- some pork much that might otherwise be reckoned of little value, if not waste. in any phase of farm econonly the hog Is a feature. and his proper feeding has in innumerable instances been the factor that kept a farm's profit on the tight aide of the ledger.

The cost of the necessaries of life has been steadily increasing since 1896. The symptoms have been viewed watt in - Creasing alarm by nearly alt classes. Within the last year the matter has readied an aeute stage. The average Increase in the cost of necessities trou. Jan. 1, 1909, to Jan. 1, 1910, was 11,7 per cent. The increase over July 1, 1896, was 61 per cent. 'The wage and salary earners In the cities have seen the "bread line"grad- ually drawing closer. The margin be- tween income and expenses, narrow at best, has shrunk to the vanishing point. AM this while newspapers have been shouting prosperity, forgetful of the old maxim that "the real prosperi- ty of a nation Is the citizen's margin of saving." Whatever the cause of this increase In the cost of necessities and comforts, there are but two ways in which the citizen as an individual can meet it. Tbe first is to increase bis income, copyright, 1910, by American VIDED AIMEOCIEUCII. living is but the product of civilize. t.Mn however, and is something to be encouraged rather than discouraged. Furtbermore, it is responsible in but a Mall degree Am the increase in the cost of living. The increase in the standard ot living has manifested it- self most strongly in better houses, better clothing and more gonvenienCes. Yet the great increase in cost has been not in these materials, but in food. Between July 1, 1896, and Jan. 1, 1010, breadstuffs .and lire steck increased in price 108 per sent. During the same period the increase in the textile.s was 73 per cent, in metals 65 per tent and in building materials only 15 per cent. That luxurious living has had much to do with the increased prices cannot he denied. That it is wholly responsi- ble is far !rota the truth. It we are to seek the real cause of this crisis that confronts our country we mtist go back to the old cause of supply and demand, coupled with other factors that have grown out of this. The period from 1870 to 1895 was the period of development et the middle west, the bread basket of the world. Here were lands of unparalleled fer- tility that had merely to be scratched to give forth their bountiful supplies. The result was that the markets of the world were flooded with foodstuffs. By 1896 the middle west was pretty well settled. The blciona of its virgin fertility had been removed. Soon the transportation, an increaeo or 'o.0 per eent. Of tbe 16.3 per cent of the work- ing people eugaged in trade aud trams- poetution in only nine-tenthe were engaged in transportation preper. The others, 15.4 per cent of alt the people of the Vetted States who work, were simply mkidienien, Complete Ugures slum MO are not available, but the eity ward trend has increased rather t lia 11(11 mlnished. Here is the true explanation of the digit cost of living. There are more than one-third as many men engaged in distributing food as there are lu produtang it. The consumer's dollar is worn thin before It gets to the pro- ducer. The. 10,000.000 men who Tartu most supply food to the 7.000,000 peo- ple who are working in tbe factories, to tile 12,000,0v0 people who are suing uouproduetive work and to the 46,000, - tato people who do not •wear at all. And because the ebanged ratio of sup- ply and demand are enabling the farna er to maim a prat where before be worked at a loss there is a great outcry over the high cost of Uvizig. This out- cry will pot change things in the least Neither will boycott nor anti -meat so- cieties. There is only one remedy, a reversal of the tide of population. The emote mal growth of cities Must be checked. Farming must be restored to its proper place hr the industrial world. In the •sueceeding articles we shall note some of the forcer; that are bringing this about. •• • CABBAGE DISEASES. Susoeptibility, to Rot and Infection Due to Soil Conditions. In a bulletin on "Cabbage Experi- ments and Culture" issued by the Maryland agricultural experiment sta- tion it is asserted that the suscepti- bility to rot and disease of cabbage growing on very rich, higlay. culti- vated land seemed- to be due, more to • something unsuitable in the soil rather than to the direct attacks of bacteria or fungi. During very rainy weather in the beat of summer young and ap- parently vigorous cabbage plants will wilt and die. If the weather is mor- erately dry and the soil loose and well 'cultivated, cabbage will grow vigor, ously and seemingly resist disease even it the soil IS known to be infect, ed with germs. It was noticed that a patch of cabbage planted on a piece of land that bad been used .to growl celery for several years grew very well until heavy rains began to fall in • tea• se cows Fon FUEL IN 1896,. and the second is to „lower his stand- ard of living. The wage earner, band- ed together with, his fellows in a un- ion, has been able- to increase his scale of wages to some extent, though notnearIenougb to till the gap be- tween income apd eX1767ises--.. The wage .earner 'who does not belong to a un- ion has profited to•some extent by the general rise 18 wages, though .not so much as the union man. • The salaried man has borne tbe hard- est brunt of the rising prices. He be- longs to no union, and .his demands for 'increased pay have brought little re- sponse. a. • All classes that "arespeompelled to work for living have had to turn to. the other alternative in a greater of less degree. They have been forced to lower their standard of 'tieing. The ,first item to, be attacked is the food supply. Russell Sage once, said, "AE1 the cost of living increases the use .of • meat decreaSe,s, the proportion of dark rooms increases and child labor be- comes plentiful." Less meet means poorer= nourishment; less -resistance_ to- •disestse and a higher,degth.rete. Other foods of Chemier quality are used. Oleomargarine takes the place of but- ter. Cold storage eggs are a luxury and fresh. eggs unknown, and cheaper brands of canned goods are used, Aside from food, the big item of ex- pense in the city is rent. In order to keep up with the increased cost of things property owners have been forc- ed to raise rents. The frenzied crowd- ing of the people to the cities hai en- abled landlords to make these' increase ed rents effective.. The result is that a house with a porch and a bitot lawn has become a luxiiry, and. more and more the. middle classes, the classes on •whom prosperity should react most fa- Vorably, have been forced • into Bats and apartment houses. • Tbe poorer classes bare moved into tenements. The high cost of room has made crowd- ing inevitable. Human beings have been foreed to herd together like cat- tle or wOrse. The modern dairy barn is a palace beside some of the tene- ments that pass muster as human •hab- itations. Many causes have been advanced by economists and others to account for • the rise in prices. Many blame the tariff, but that will not explain why prices astre rising nearly as rapidly in England as in the United States. Tho economist's favorite reason is In the increase in the supply Of gold, Money is becoming cheaper, be says, and therefore it takes more of it to buy a given amount of any commodity. This explanation sounds very 'plausi- ble, but it does not explain the fact tbat prtees have at other times gone down in the face of increased gold production. The gold sppply is un- questionably a factor littleencing rjs Ing prices. That it is the fundamental factor may well be doubted. Other. writers try to lay the whole tremble to the growing extravagance of the American people and to the in- ereased standard of living, It is true that at the present time we regard aa necessaries what yesterday were 'taxa - ries.

Unfoia tunately the tide of population toward the cities had become too strong to be turned in a day.
