The Iran who does lint Lave the patience to do this should never undertake the training of a colt.

It is pos- slhle to drive hint Fast almost at•y- titing if the is given a little time to look at it. The most dangerous scarey honse is the one that will whirl square around fit the road when frightened at some- thing ahead of him. Frequently in this turn the wagon is upset, the driver thrown out and the horse rums away. When a horse has acquired the habit of turning aranntl it is best to drive Bim double for a while with some trusty animal, Afterwards he should be driven alone to come two ,wheeled rig, handling him carefully but firmly. Some horses, when they scare, try their best to run away. .Chey seem to lay no attention to any bit, how- ever severe. When a horse is known to have that Habit it should be a rule never to allow an. aged person, a help- less child, a timid man or a screaming woman in the wagon, for their out- cries would only make matters w orse, but in case of a smash-up their help- lessness might prove serious. Runaway horses should never be drleen without a severe bit, strong harness, strong lines, strong hold -back btraps and a stout rig. it is a mis- take to take chances with such an animal under the imagination that one can handle any horse, for he cannot. A man of real experience never makes such claims. Generally a man who can control Himself and keep cool is able to con- trol and keep down a horse, But men who at once become rattled the mo- ment a horse pricks up his "ears and quickens his gait, and gives a Bawling, frightful yell, will scare the animal about as badly ani anybody else. But if the driver can get the horses's ccr:fidenee, if, he can get hien to uuder- stand that nothing can hurt hill so Iong as he is held in by bit and lines, it is really wonderful what may be accomplished in the way of controlling I1atn by the voice alone. After all, everything depends on the man. If lie has not patience, if he is not cool-headed, if he has 21ot suffi- cient interest to study the horse and the Lest way to. manage him, he will .meet with poor success. Excitable, quick-tempered men are usually cow- ardly. Such as these should never attempt to handle the unruly horse. FARM NEWS AND 'VIEWS. Spoiled silage may not seem to in- jure some farm animals, but it is dan- gerous to others, and hal lost most of its good value for all. The loss re- sults almost entirely from 'mould, ac- cording to C. FI. Lckles, of the Dairy Department of the University of Mis- souri, and could have been prevented, although the only thing to. do now is to study what has happened in your silo and learn how to do better next wear. Unless the silo was sealed or feeding was begun immediately after filling, from six inches to a foot at tho top is sure to be spoiled. It should be put where it cannot be reached by any farm animals. Lower sown, the presence of spoiled silage always indicates the presence of air, as the moulds which give it' the ap- pearance of Totten manure could not rolls without air. The lack of suffi- cient water in filling is the commonest cause of the presence of air, but suf- ficient tramping in air -tight structure is also necessary. Red mould, which sometimes causes alarm, is no more dangerous than the less conspicuous forms which often page unnoticed. A very acceptable ration is used in the west by letting each animal have daily 30 pounds of corn silage and all the clover hay it will consume. A mix- tuee consisting of 300 pounds of corn chop, 300 pounds of ground barjey, 300 pounds of bran and 50 pounds of oil - meat will go very nicely with this roughage. Feed about one pound of this mixture for each three and one- half pounds of milk produced. A man may have an inexpensive cow stable, but if he keeps it clean, grooms and feeds the cows long en- ough before milking to allow the dust to settle, wipes the cows' udders with n damp cloth Delete milking, and /handles the milk in a sanitary way in sterilized utensils, he can produce clean milk. This statement comes from a State agricultural college dairyman, and it's true. Calls Them One of er Best Friends DAM BEL,ANGi R TALKS OF DODD'S KIDNEY PILI.,$. Tells How They Cured Her Rheuma- tism and Made Her so Well She Could Work Without Fatigue. St. Amateur, Gloucester Co., N. i.3,, April 17.---(Special.)---(•ured of rheu- matism, from which she has been a severe sufferer, Dante Pierre Belanger, well kuowu and highly respected here, is telling her friends that Dodd's Kid- ney Pills have made her well. "I consider Dodd's Kidney Pills one of the best friends l have,", Dew Bee tenger states. "I had•rheunatisin and and the pains in nay limbs caused me a great deal of suffering. "1 took six boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills, and they made use well, My pains are all gone, and 1 can now work without being fatigued. I will always keep Dodd's Kidney #'111s,in the house," Dodd's Kidney Pills cure rheuma- tism because it is caused by siek kid - news. Rheumatism is caused by urle acid in the blood. If the kidneys are healthy and doing their full work they strain all tete uric acid out of the blood, and there can be no rheumat- ism. Dodd's Kidney Pills always snake the kidneys well, • They take away that tired feeling by ensuring pure blood and good circulation. Cows which produce 23 pounds of milk a day require 76 pounds or more of water daily, and instances are on record in which heavy milkers have cen::umed more than 300 pounds of water a day. This large quantity of water is necessary not only for the formation of milk, but also for the di- gestion and assimilation of the large quantities of food consumed, mucic cf which Is roughage. It its not wise to permit cows to drink large ninounits of lee -cold water, incl ins order to encourage ;,'!tent to drink a sufficient amount of water in extremely cold weather It is neees- eery to warns the water slightly.

'When the pigs are from four to six weeks old they will begin to eat with the sows. They should be fed separ- ately by penning off a small space on the feeding floor'or hog lot where rho young pigs have access to the feed. The feed should be given in a small trough, which can be cleaned easily before each feeding. The pigs 'may be given n the same ration as described above..3or their, mothers during the nursing period and continued on the same ration after weaning. The business of farming at present demands the richest plant food at the least cost, plain food that will return the largest profits. Rich stable man- ure has neither an equal nor a com- petitor. It contains not only the plant food elements, nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash that the high-grade •commercial fertilizers possess, but at the same time excels them in vegeta- ble material for snaking humus. Rich stable manure is acknowledged to be very efficient in promoting the work of bacteria so necessary in crop pro- duction. The manure from animals applied to soil improves the texture and mellowness, increases the water - holding capacity, promotes better aer- ation and increases the soil tempera- ture. Its mechanical effect on heavy clay land is most beneficial, as here its use helps the close texture by loos. ening the packed soil grains died thus increases the productivity of the soil. Healthy sows that have been proper- ly cared 'for during pregnancy will have little difficulty at farrowing time. 'They should be housed in proper quar- ters and up to farrowing time have their usual feed. The period of ges- tation for swine ranges from 112 to 316 days. 4, 4, SAUCE COMBINATIONS. . wry StritYP.0 LA R 'see e -ski` Ryon) now on, while Canada endures, the name of its Premier; Sir Robert Borden, will be perpetuated in the topography of the Dominion. Thus decrees the Geographic Board of Canada, which has just officially adopted -the name Mount "Sir Robert" to be applied to the beautiful snow-capped peak illustrated above. On the flank of the mountain is a great glacier, and this has been named "Borden Glacier." This noble Mountain, whose glittering snow-capped crest rises sharply to.a hei"ht of between eight and nine thousand feet is situated 120 miles east of Prince Rupert, to the south of the Skeena River and nine miles sou heasb from Doreen Station on the Grand Trunk I acific line, and is in the heart of the British Columbia Coast Rate. Even on the route of the Grand Tien& Pacific, famous for its mountains, there are few more beautiful peaks than the newly named "Sir Robert," and while the pointed peak in itself is considered one of the most graceful and dignified in the neighbourhood' the huge glacier, fully a mile in width, lends it additional beauty and interest. This serried mass of frozen snow and ice --accumulating rocks, stones and earth as it moves slowly, inch by inch, down the side of the mountain—is apparently drained by a winding mountain stream which empties into the Skeena, and the great sweeping bend of this, river, seen in the foreground of -the picture with a fine stretch of the track, indicated the view to be obtained from the railway line. Travellers on the Grand Trunk Pacific get the best view of this lovely peak wheq two miles west of Doreen Station. Dynamite, Dynamite, if carefully made and kept will not explode except by shock or a blow; hence a cap or detonator is affixed to a charge just before firing to set it off. Set fire in open air dy- namite burns fiercely witn a smoky flame, but does not explode unless seti- cral sticks are closely piled together or. packed in a lox. ,,The most com- mon cause of premature explosion of dynamite is separation of its nitrogly- cerin, slight friction or sloth causing this to explode and, in tura, explode the dynamite. Separation of nitrogly- cerin usually occurs when frozen Dy- namite is being thawed out; hence so many cases of explosion by careless or ignorant persons who use a perfect- ly good stove in a course of instruc- tion nstructtion in how to handle dynamite. The force of a dynamite explosion is usu- ally greatest downward.

The expression "to give a cup of coffee" has in Persia a somewhat om- inous significance. This is nue to -the fact that the coffee cup is one recog- nized medium • tor conveysitg poison. 'Sortie years ago the governor of Aspa- ania, having long been at daggers drawn with the chief of a powerful mountain tribe, determined in this way to put an end to all trouble. I•Ie professed to entertain a great degree of friendship and esteem for the chieftain and invited him to visit bim At his palace. The eLiet unsuspici- ously came, accompanied by his two young sons. For a week they were royally entertained. But at last one morning when the chief came auto his host's presence he was coldly re- ceived; and an attendant stepped for- ward with a single cup of coffee in his hand, which he offered to the guest. The latter could not fail to understand that he was doomed. Preferring, howeyer, steel to poison, he declined the cup and was thereupon, at a sig- nal from his host, stabbed to death.

'While we have been negligent in protecting our country against the enemy, we have also failed lamentably in fortifying our human bodies against disease germs. This has been proven in the recruiting offices, where so many men have been turn- ed down by the examining doctors. Neak heart action; diseased lungs; thin, watery blood; defective eyesight, resulting f;,rom exhausted nerves. These are among the pre- vailing derangements which the examining doctors find. Health has been neglected. The, blood has not been kept in healthful condition. Tho nervous system has got rine down, and the subject under inspection is in no condition to fight the enemies of his country or to withstand the attack of disease germs. Health preparedness means the use of preventive treatment, such as Dr. Chase's Nerve mood, to enrich the 'blood, reinvigorate the starved nerve cells and keep the health at high-water mark. In this condition you have the strength, vigor and confidence which is necessary to the success and enjoyment of life. You have the vitality to defy disease germs and thereby escape many ills which find an easy prey in the run-down system. - Dr. Chase's Nerve Food, by means of its blood -forming and nerve -invigorating in- fluence, cures headaches, nervekos indigestion, sleeplessness and irritability, and prevents ouch serious diseases as nervot'is prostration, ,locomotor ataxia and paralysis. 150 Centel aV box, 0 for $2sl0, all dealers, or Rdmansou, Bates & Co., Tdanited, Toronto.

REFUSe SUBSTITUTE$. ,Jed Early Roman Newspapers •L It appears that it is to Caesar j;hat we owe the first western: attempt to satisfy the public's demand for print- ed news. The newspaper was a daily record of not only official news, but also of small scandals, the latest Po- lice news, the arrivals in the city, even the gossip of the countryside. There were also extracts from the latest speech of Cicero and tate fresh- est epigrams of Maryial, These last appeared by way of advertisement of tate author's latest works before they should appear in the collected form and be sold, along with the latest thing of Qvid's and those unproper little novels that came from Greece and were displayed in the fine shops that bordered the Forum's edge and stretched round the Palatine Hill. The Acta Diurna, or Daily News, was the work of literarii, handwork, careful and elegant, whether written with the stytus nn papyrus or in- scribed on a wail coated with chalk, the citizens standing around, agog with interest. The lack of a printing press was surely a fortunate circum- stance, since it goes far to account for the epigrammatic terseness of the Latin style, for the delightful endeav- or to express in one syllable what the garrulous take a couple of phrases to interpret. Huebener, in his dissertation on the Acta Djurna, has collected 45 pass- ages from ancient authors, all of which relate to these Acta Populi, which is only another name for this embryonic newspaper. They are all of a nature to interest the public, reading ' or otherwise, even to -day. Fortunately they are told in Latin, in which, for the most part, they had best remain. The more ordinary relate to pub- lic affairs, the sayings and doings of political persons, notably Caesar's refusal to the _title of Ding, the de- fection of Lepidus and time more not- able cases before the courts. Both Pliny and Ascanius relate the case of Scaurus es having been fully reported. Dion Cassius relates the avidity with which men read of the punish- ments to wlticli important persons li anxiety had been condemned, and tean y of the crowd to learn whether t h they met their end as gentlemen or cow- ards. Tacitus mentions the news- paper account of Claudius' Pomer:te- ium, the extension of the circumfer- ence of the city by the erection of a new wall. Lampridius tells us that he got his idea of the fulisonne adulation with which the Senate acclaimed Alexan- der Severus from the current issue of this daily paper,. a document which must have been, approximately speaking, 100 years old, when Lamp- riduis saw it, and mendacious at that, There were extracts from new laws, decisions relating to provinces, and, naturally, passages front the dis- courses of "the God of Rome." Under the Empire there was the Coyrt Circular, whichchronicled the various doings of the imperial house, the "progresses," the funerals, but not, however, the likelihood of the Emper- ors death, as it was only the unwise astrologers who would dare to draw suck a bow at a Ventura. The Emperor Conmiodus, so Lampri- dius assures us, was inordinately proud of Isis achievements in the arena. No matter whether .he was last in the race, it was to him that the palm was awarded, or, rather, he awarded the palm to himself, and then quite magnificently shouted, "Commo- dus Caesar, victor in the race, gives his crown to the people of Rome!" Then there were published all the "bite of information" in the city. Pliny cites the newspaper accounts of the funeral of the celeoreted jockey Felix The erection, fall and lestoration'of public buildings were recorded; so were the births, marriages and divorc- es in illustrious families; likewise prodigies and curiosities. Pliny has a sneering reference about the record of a rain of titles, and states that an old priest swore that he had seen the arrival of the first Phoenix in Rome. Petronius gives a parody of what the Roman got in his daily paper. It was during a feast at the house of that ostentatious plutocrat Trimal- chion, who so far forgot his imperfect veneer of aristocratic good manners as to describe the origin of his wife to his guests, much to that lady's dis- comfort, for she was still "climbing" assiduously, and did not relish being thus "given away" to others. In his efforts to impress the world with his magnificence, Trimalclion used to send for his actuary, who read to the company a sort of process verbal, of which the following is a translation; "Vel. Cal. Jul.: There were born on the Domain at Comae, which belongs to Trimalchion, 30 boys and 40 girls. Five hundred thousand bushels of wheat were transported from the fields to the granaries; 500 oxen were used for the transport. On the soma day the slave nspordates was eruei- fled for blaspheming the tutelary of Gains, our master.

Vopiscns, in his "Life of the Emperor Probes,' knew of its exist- ence, after tcitielt time, it is thought, it disappeared along with such other literature as Constantino and his new advisers found ineonvenient.

A Remedy for an Ailment That is Very Distressing. Exposure to cold and wet is a usual cause of sore throat, and it may be of rheumatic br gouty origin. Isocal irri- tation, as from drinking hot drinks or the inhalation of noxious gases, will cause an acute catarrhal inflammation of the mucous membrane of the pharynx, soft palate and utlula.

The many tboughtiess things one does every day will cause a sore throat, 'whish may be severe enough to result in a fatal illness, The treatment for the symptoms, such as chilliness, fever, stiffness and tenderness in the muscles of the neck, soreness in the throat and painfulness when swallowing—the hoarseness and dry, hacking cough --is by medicines. First a gargle, This may be one of -potassium chlorate, used three times a day; or a gargle of bicarbonate of sodium—one teaspoonful dissolved in a teacupful of hot water and used (when warm) every five hours. It is best always to remain indoors for 24 hours, and preferably in bed, when- ever suffering from. a beginning cold or sore throat. A laxative medicine (whether suffering from constipation or not) should be taken. A bottle of the effervescent citrate of magnesia of a dose of castor oil. If the pain in throat is severe, cold applications are soothing—cloths wrung out of cold water and applied to the neck, chang- ing them as soon as they become warm, Sucking small pieces of eltop- ped ice proves grateful also. If the fever is high and there is an unusual amount of restlessness and irritabil ity always call in a physician. • A.o Wonderful Bilious Remedy Actually Prevents Attacks There are two great causes of bili- ousness—they and o n s—the • are constipation us es 3 defective liver action, When Dr. Hamilton's Pills are tak- en, they not only correct constipated bowels, btit act upon the liver as well.

The bad odor of rotten eggs is also due to the sulphur, sul- phurated hydrogen being formed dur- ing decomposition.
