Hard experience has proven that this isn't na it ought to be. Is it uot true as a first consequence that there are fax more failures of sires amongst heavy horses than amongst the light- er breeds. Yet, logially, the colder blooded horse ought to be, and, other things being equal, usually is, the sur- est sire. . No better term of exercise can be given the heavy draugAt stalliou than to put him to work. It is good discip- line for him, it mattes the best kind of exercise for him end develops both good temper and pbysical cone dition. It will make of Wm a surer and better sire, his colts will prob. ably reflect his own vigor and this means that the farmer who patron- izes the stallica that has been work- ed and given lots of exercise will consult his own lintereets. 10'; • , e Ito GOOD BUSINESS. It takes the same number of months awl days for a mare to produce a colt from a pure-bred stallion of excellent quality as it does for her to produce ono from a scrub or a cross -bred stal- lion. Te requires just the same equip- ment of buildings, just the same care, and just the same feed, to raise the scrub colt to full maturity as it does to raise the high-grade colt from a pure-bred stallion to the same age and 'weight because one of the causes of his superiority is his greater efficiency in digesting and assimilating the food which is given him and turning it into flesh and force, or energy. And when it comes to selling the two on th.e mar- ket, the colt with the pure-bred sire will bring malty more dollars than 'will the one ewith a scrub or cross- bred sire. In view of all these well-recognized facts, it is hared to understand why there are so- many scrub and low- grade stalliens beiug used as there are.

Too many farmers have the habit of putting off 'painting until a house fair- ly screams for it -and they perhaps figure that they are economizing. Not so. Good paint; applied at regular intervals, not too far apart, is the true economy, M that it uot only actually raises the value of a building by improved appearances, but through preseavative ingredients prevents and arrests decay. The man who lets his house become an eyesore in an other- wise well -kept locality should be taxed for the heavy damage he is doing to that community.

Thun- der ritoreas represent the greatest ac- tivity, of electriCal phenomenotm, and the beet authorities give it as their opinion that the electricity in the at- mosphere is the prime cause of milk souring during the prevalence of a thunderstorm. It Is electricity, not thunder, that sours milk. An experienced horse breeder says: "Don't fed alfalfa as you do hay; feed it as you do grain."

GOOD DIGESTION A SOURCE OF HEALTH When the Stomach is Out of Order the Whole System Suffers. Indigestion is one of the mose The- tre'aing maladies atflicting menkiud. When the stomach is unable to per- form the work nature calls for, the re- st:at is severe pains after eating, nau- sea, heattbure, flutteriog of the heart, sick headache, and often e loathing for fecid, though the sufferer is really half starved. People wite poor digestion, too, frequently try all sorts of experi- ments to aid the process df dige•stion, but there is only one way in which the trouble can actually be cured, that is through the blood. That is why the tonic treatment with Dr t Williams' Pink Pills cures even the most obstin- ate cases of indigestion. They make rich, red blood that strengthens 'the stomach and the nerves, thus enablioe; it to do its work. The process is nine- ple, but the result means good appetite and increased health and pleasure in life. In proof of these statements, Mrs. Albert Hall, Sonya, Ont., says: "I have used pr. Williams' Pink Pills with wcinderful resnits. Per two years I was a great sufferer from iudirees- tion, which 'almost made me a physi- cal wreck. At times, my sufferengs were so great that I was tillable to Mend to fny houseeold data. I had smothering spells at times and was afraid to lie down to rest. After every meat, no matter how sparingly 1 ate, I Suffered great distress. I tried sev- eral doctors, but their medicine was oe no avail, I Saw Dr. Williams' Pinic Pills advertised to cure this trouble and decided to try them. I had' not been taking then long whee. I felt somewhat improved. This Improve- ment continued, and after taking ten boxes I could eat and digest all kinds of food and felt better than I had done for years. You iney be sureel am very grateful for the wonderful eelief these pills have given me.

MYSTERY OF STEEL. Our Modern Civilization is Based On a rreak of Nature. If it were not for one tiny, erratic break in nature's .orderly progresslon we should never have. had the ma - Clattery that has brought about mod- ern civilization. For we should not bave had teel. It is tea WO should have had iron. But pure iron is almost reeless. It is only tehen a small quan- tity of carbon is added to it that it 'becomes hard enough to take a cut- ting edge. Then it is called steel. Why Steel hardens is an unsolved problem. The Scientific American re- produces some extracts from an ad- dress 'before the British Institute of Mechanical Engineers. delivered by . Professor Arnett; -Who has for many years been investigating the chemical und mechanical relations between iron, carbon and other metals, and air Bele ert Hadfield's experiments that called attention to this "break" in the order of nature which alone Makes steel possible. Nickel and cobalt are so closely re- lated to iron. in their properties and in their uosition in the periodic clussife cation-atm:hie -weights, specific grav- • ity, fusing point and valence being almost the same -that it might be expected they would behave identi- cally when united with carbon. Not so, however. Sir Robert Hadfiele found that when the "steel" made of ad cobalt was heated or ham - meted. the carbon came out of ihe composition and was as precipitated as, graphite. If Iron behaved this way tool steel would turn to cast ion as aeon as heeted. And it is en tlie fact that it does note -"a seemingly quite erratic departure on nature's part from her orderly plan." -that modern manufacture is touecied. SWANS TAUGHT TO SWIM. The Black Necked Variety Are Afraid of Water Men Young. Tour's acquainted with the prover- bial phrase, "Like a, duck takes to the water." That niay apply all right to ducks, but there are some water birder which have to be taught to swim, jest as we db. They hate the water at first just as much as a boy hatee the bath- tub, One of these birds, which takes swimming lessons from its parents, ie the black necked swan. • The swam babies are called cynets. They are hatehed in an elaborate nest which the parent swan builds along the edge of a pool. The little cygnets are able to walk and run ae soon as they are out of their shells, but they can't swim. $o the mether swan takes them for a little ferry ride. She puts them on eher back and starts on across the pond. The baby swans, frightened at first, soon get used to seeing water all around fhena. One day the mother swan turns her long neck and gives her babies a gen- tle push. into the water. Such a scram- ble and splash! The babies flounder around and. try their best to get back on their Mother's dry feathers, Final- ly they learn that their feet are web- bed paddles, givin to them for ewim- ming purposes, and they are able to glide over the water as gracefully and as easily as their parents.

The table, tl kettles, holders and dishcloths must be clean. A epeek of dust can carry enough germs to start fermentation in a ton of fruit or vegetables. Throw away any poiled fruit that you find among the freak fruit. A few pieces of fruit that are mouldy or have rotten specks will lower the quality and deetroy the fine good taste of a whole kettle, of fruit that other- wise would be deliciors. Sometimes feuit Is so overripe that it is be- ginning to spoil ,which makee it take on a rather bitter tate when cooked. See that your jars, tops and rubbers are perfectly clean and that they have been eternized, 1.0., • boiled and kept boiling hot until you are ready to use them. Then fill the jars with fruit up to the top, just so that they do not run over. These points aro most im- portant if you want your fruit to neap perfectly and be free from mould. Put the fruit in the jars and seal as quickly as possible to keep any stray yeast plants that are floating aroutul in the air from settling in the jars. Never take any rlske with old rub- bers or lids of jars when the gerew tops are cheaper than (moiled fruit. Have a fruit funnel to use in. putting hot fruit in jars. It is inexpensive, and with proper -care will last a dozen years at least. These same lints ap- ply to canning vegetables. 1 CURE YOUR BAD COM BY BREMBINC "CATARRHOZONE" You may dislike taking medicine, but coughe are best eared rithout medicine.
