Where the hogs are coneernea, large percentage of the pigs farrowed 11, the early spring means greater pro- sadects for the market in the early fall, Proper management of the brood sow before and atter farrowing very Important. Investigations show that 80 to 90 per cent. of all the. drY -Matter of the unborn litter are depose. ited in' the uterus during tbe lest 60 days of pregnancy, so that our care must include this period D.Tai feeding must be done accordingly. The rations should be inereased at least 50 per cent. over the wintering ration, and the nutrients of the feed should Include protein material such an is found in alfalfa, skins milk, and tankage. Mirleral matter, especially phosphorous and lime, are required, the latter being plentiful in alfalfa. Ground oats will help the ration ball In the protein and mineral matter that is highly essential to the devel- opment of protein fesds or feede like- ly to produce internal fat. Keep the ration moderately bulky and evoid any radical feed changes late in meg- nancy period. No class of animals suffer more from extreme of heat and cold than hogs. For this 'reason brood. sows shOuld be provided with good shelter, but this does not necessarily mean expensive equipment.

Exercise promotes healthy body ac- tivities, and as this is essential in pregnant sows, we must devise some means', of compelling them to exer- cise, especially the last few weeks before farrowing.

Last season was particularly favor- , t able to oat smut in the eastern part of. : Canada resulting in a great increitee of loss from this souice. The grain crop will aleo be worse infected than usual, hence farmers should treat their seed oats very carefully this spring, A small expenditure in time and money may in this way, increase the yield pen acre by five to fifteen bushels. The prevention for smut in oats is as follows: On the evening before the seed oats are to be sown prepare. a e solution of formaldehyde (farmalin), 1 pint to 40 gallons of water. Spread the oats five inches deep on the barn floor and sprinkle 'one gallon of the solution to each bushel. Shovel over thoroughly and: cover the pile eora- pletely 'with the oat sacks, blankets etc. The following morning spread the pile out to dry. Much of the mois- ture will have been absorbed by the grain, hence the sender should he regu- lated to allow for the swelling of the • eteed:—Seed Branch, Ottawa.

Cittrig particular case, he says the "probs" in the morning read "generally fair," but we leacl a mthiature blizzard. As a matter of general information it may be explained that the weather forecasts are officially sent out twice daily to the newspapers, about 10 a. m. and 10 p. ni, from the central station of the Meterological Service of Canada, .at Toronto, where; all ob- servations taken at points throughout Canada are compiled. It snould be understood, however, that meteoro- logists are not infallible, nor do they claim infallibility. The suecessful solution of the problems offered by atmospheric phenomena, is a goal not yet completely attained.; Ottr most abused fellow -citizen is the weather man. If his forecast be occurate -we just accept it as a matter of course, but let him fall to hit it off right! . Weather forecasts are based on the readings of barometric pressure, wind direction and velocity, precipitatiou, temperature, etc., -prevailing at cer- tain points throughout the continent from coast to coast, where observa- tions are taken at 8 a.' M. and 8 p. m. Ottawa time. These observations are reported th headquarters by wire and at once plotted out on u special weather map. This shows at a glance the prevailing conditions and move- ments of all atmospheric disturbances in the preceding 12 hours. Without going too deeply into sci- entific data, it may be said that low barometric pressure indicates stormy conditionseuid strong winds and high pressure fine wether. 13y watching the cbarts front day to day the wea- ther experts are enabled to ollow tnea genrse of the areas of low or hi0"ifre'ssure as they move across , country. Yor instance, if an area of :Tow pressure is centered on the upper lakes, moving eastward, it indicates a disturbance over the Ottawa valley —if the low area continues to move dilliranty. 14 'may increase and bring 'much --more disagreeable eenditione than forecasted, or it may disperse altogether and leave a chap uptown with an umbrella or raincoat under a cleudiess sky, though- the "probs" read "rain," Oit course, it may also work the other way and give us rain when 'fine weather was foretold. Another serious difficulty for the weather man is that north of Ottawa there are practically no observation stations. Now some of our most ser- ious atm.osphoric disturbances come from the polar regions, but there is ho forewarning ot their approach. We may be led to think we are In for a 0011 Of fine weather here, when along &ernes et vagrant "low" the ob- servers knew nothing about—and then there is gnashing of teeth from the chaps wo left Lome ,without their raincoats. Indeed, belheon the et • eertnern fringe eif observation sat tions Makes the Ottawa Valley one of the most uncertala regions•on the continent for weather forecasting. Then again, the "probs" are com- piled for areas. The forecast for this region reads "Ottawa Valley and Up- per St. Lawrence," whieh Is a pretty extensive territory. In general the prediction may be a good one, but a little local disturbance may etccur here and there as an exception to the general rule. Hence we have such terme as "mostly !fair and warm; showers in some localities." Moral—Don't cuss the 'Weather Man. Tento one it isn't his fault.— Ottawa :Citizen. • • • • VICTORIA'S LETTERS.

Thin -blooded people eushally have otonteoll trouble. They seldom reeog- nize the factthat thin blood Is the cause of the trouble, but it is, ,in fact thin, impure blood is the moot common 'cause of stomach trouble; it affects the digestion veky quickly. The glands that furnish the digestive quid are diminished in their activity; the stomach muscles Etre weakened, end there is a loss of nerve force. In this state _ of health nothing will more quickly restore the appetite, the diges- tion and normal nutrition than good, rich, red blood. Dr. ,Williams' Pink Pills act directly on the blood, making it rich and red, and this enriched blood stiengthens weak nerves, stimulates tired muscles and awakens the normal activity of the glands that supply the digestive fields. The first sign .of Im- proving health is au 'improved appe- tite, and soon the effect of these bleed - making pills is evident throughout the Systeta. You find that what you oat does not distress you, and that you aro strong and vigorous instead or irri- table and listless. This'is proved by the ease of Mrs. S.

Gold Came Before Silver in the Early Use of Metals, It it not knownjust when gold was first used by man as drnament and coin, but 4,400 yearh ago the people of the der east and in the eountries norteern Atrica made most exquisite jewelry out of gold and precious stones. In fact, tile art of their hand wrought ornaments has never been excelled, and modern man has learn- ed from them in technical skill. Gold as used in the early times was prob- ably found in the torm of nuggets, aa the ancients would hardly havn 'no- ticed it in any otker form. They ham- mered it by hand and gave it a most beautiful polish. Silver was not discovered for a long time alter gold was in use in many countries, and, when at last some one .did'discover it he thought It a form of gold, anct it beeame known as "white gold." The discovery of copper eoon ((glowed that of sliver, and then in se:mention came tin, zinc and lead. An ingenious savage who 1ived4in upper hegylit suoceeded in making brass by fusing oopper and zinc, and later he manufactured bronze by a mixture of copper and tin. Thie occurred about 4,6010 B.C., and the intrentor's name was Anuble. And Anubis made the first metallic axe, knife and chisel, end ale° he gave U s the original saw, taking for his model, eo we are told, 'the chin bone of a snake.' Like the teeth of a snake, the first saw's teeth inclined back - backward. Anubis also invented the first musi- cal instrument of 7 which we hap knotviedge. He used for a soundirg boerd the empty shell of a tortoise across whieh were strung four tor- toise sinews as strings, Afterward this instrument was enlarged and a goat's horns used for poste. It still' had four strings and a bridge and brace. This crude musical Instrument 'became known as the lyre, and from it developed all known stringed lin- Btotrruallan ensao:tsiOf this Instrument a his- . Horns afterward' enlarged and Im- proved the lyre by increasing the number of strings to seven, though two of Ulan had 'the sante piteh. He Ale° provided a strap to support the increased weight of the instrument It twee then ealled by the Greeks a el - there or kithara, and in central Af- rica it is yet called a kisser. The Greek Terpander added an eighth string, called octachord, froen which comes our word Detail°. "Anubis seenis to IraVe composed a song and sung it to the accompani- ment of the harp. Ile was also the fired senator and poet or whom we have any knowledge." Thus it will be seen that metals are very old in the uees to which man has put them and Musical inetrumente also of very ancient date, though for countless generations •there was to written music and the player compos- ed hie own melodies as he went along, which were exceedingly simple. -4-•••• Saves the Tires.

We are pekeds. to defile what Is Meant by the expression, "Standard Time." In -Canada and the United States what Is meat is railway stand- ard time, a systenx adopted by the mile way ee'linanies for convenience it making up their time table. Standard ttme the world over is solar time at the Grenwich Observatory.. For a leng while that has been observed all over the Llnited,Ringaora as the ace hire time, although on the extreme weet coast of Ireland noon at Green- wich is 'ail e 11 am, ey solar time. But what we are concerned with here ie railwad _standard time, and this is 1,ow it is e ei at. In every elects there are 360 degrees, that le to say, for convenience mathe- maticians Lave agreed that a circle shall be considere(1 to be so divided. This holds true of the Equator, the parallels of latitude and a wedding ring alike. From thee tmmeraorial clay has teen divided into 24 hours. The earth revolves on its axis once in every 24 beers. lf we divide 360 by 24 we get 15, end from this it follows that if we measure 15 degrees west of Greenwich we wine to a place Where it is noon just an hour after it is noon at Greenwich. It we go 15 degrees further west we arrive at a place where it is noon two hours Otter it le noon at Greenwich, and so on, and by and by we reach the 120th meridian, which is somewhere near Revelstoke, at which point and at all other points on the same meridian it is aoon 8 houre atter it was noon at Greeew1111. Railway etandard time is base.d up- on this 15-degreo subdivisiou !ale ibe earth's circumference, and it is ender - stood byeagreement that the time be- tween any two meridians 16 degrees apart, and each 15 or a multiple of 15 degrees west of Greenwich shee he the same.
