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.

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-

Too many farmers have the habit of
putting off 'painting until a house fair-

figure that they are economizing. Not
so. Good paint; applied at regular

actually raises the value of a building
by improved appearances, but through
preseavative ingredients prevents and

that community.

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. I knor they are
also a cure for anaemic s kerers, as

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 market remains easier. Collectione

Mills have more than they can do to
meet demands on them. Boot and

Be sure that' everything used about
canning is perfectly clean. • That
means the kitchen floor must be free
from duet and dirt. 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.
