Tbe proper aelection ana carc of the nerse is a euleject that is worthy of con- sideration. Horses are generally di- vided into two classes—driving and draft, or light and heavy. The nearest to what is commonly known as the "general- purpose horse." For all-around work on a small place a horse mete:Mg about 1,050 to a200 Pounds aed which stands trona 15 to 10 hands high, is about right. THE GENERAL-PURPOSE HORSE. The general-purpoge bolas should have Itigh full action, each part =vine' in perfect harmony with the other, indicat- ing soundness and the ability to pereorm work easily, and consequently with econ- omy of energy. Particularly attention should be given the walking gait, as In all ()lasso of borsee this is of great im- portance. The stride should be even, and the foot should be picked up and put forward energetically. The head should be of moderate size, free tram any rneaty appearance, features distinct and expree? sion pleasant. Ears medium in size and erect and active. The neck ahould be &stetted and well muscled; chest deep and Prominent; shoulders long and eloping; the foreleg 'straight, clean-cut and with well-developed forearm. The knee should be wide and deep, and set upon the can- non firmly; the cannon short and wide from front to rear. In this class of borses it is especially important that the pastern be strong, and form an an - ale of about 46 degrees with the ground., If more upright than this it is apt to . cause lameness as a result o: two great eoacussion when the horse is moved rapddly. Particularly attention should be given the feet, which should be of generous *tee but not flat, The wall of the hoof ahould present a smooth appearance without the inclination toward a ribbed condition found in many horses. The heels should be well apread and sup- ported in that position by a tarp, heal- thy frog. The rfb of the horse should be well sprung as they leave the spine, and the back short and well-museied, As the seat of much of the motive power Iles In this region, It Is important that the hind quartets be well developed in croup, loin and thigh, giving a. nicely rounded appearance, with evidence of strength. The hock ahould be clean and the lean - ton, pastern and) foot 'answering to the atandard given for the front ones. MUCH DEPENDS UPON CARE.

A horse may be kept in any comfor- table quarters which should be well light- ed and ventilated. The stall should present no rough places nor nails upon which. it Is possible for the horse to bee cone !haired. It should be cleaned! of- ten and bedded nighte with wellattred etraw or other litter. He should be groomed regularly once a day and fed and watered three times, the wtxter to be given before feeding. The feea may in addition to hay, consist of oats alone or fed with some wheatbran and corn in some form. Di all cases a good rule to follow is never to feed or water when the horse is heated. Wait until he had a chance to get cooled off and then feed moderately. Very little difficulty will then be experienced! with sick horses. Au harnesses and furnishings should be kept in seperate apartments from the horse, as the ammonia is detrinaental to leather and varnish. —a— THE COLT. 'Upon the feed und care a colt re- ceives depends to a great extent .his fu- ture usettanee.s as a workhorse. R. is a poor and expensive policy to skimp on his feed. A mixture of two Darts oats, two parts shelled Ourn and one part bran, all by weight, is a good ration f t• a yearlin lf to this is added a double handfub of linseed oil meal twice a day it eomprisea an ideal grain food. The quantity to be feed will depend largely on. the weight and breed of the colt. In general, to get the best re- sults, colts from one to two years of age should be fed about all they will clean up twice a day and return hun- gry for the next meal. Only the feed- er caz aetermine the proper amount, From eight to ten pounde a day of tho mixture deseribed will be about right, the atrioutt increasing as the youngster gains In age and weight. Condimental stock fooas are an abomtruttion. De not feed teem Middlings are too cloy- ing and are liable to form a putty mass in the tatimach, thus promoting diges- tive trouble.

An acre is little enough, but at least any farm should neve 10 apples, five peach and fiv4 (Merry trees. These cost but a trifle hut if cared for properly vvill sulMlY family with fruit In eon* form for tilt entire year. Then a row of raspberries, blackberries, currants and goosebertie4 and 4 square l'Od of strawberries will add much to the happiness of the family. Not every farrnez• will succeed with the farm tractor, no matter bow favor- able the conditions or efficient the tree - tor. The man who neglects to otl his machinery and keep It in repair will have little luck with 0. tractor. The high cost of mud is responsible for low-priced Term lands, according to Government experts, who have been etudying the. results of good roads. They find that good roads increase land values from one to three times the cost of improvement. The agricultural experts may continue to spin out beautiful theories, but the feet will remain that the quickest, cheap- est and) best system of restot•ing our soils to greater productiveness Is by green manuring, turning under eye, buckwheat, sweet or red clover, cow - horn turnips or anything else that will grow on the land. The average milk yield or the aver- age cow must be raised if dairying is to be made profitable, even at present milk prices. According to the State College of Agriculture at Cornell, the average cow does not pay her board, and. the best way to make the average yield return a profit to the dairy owner is to "weed out the scrubs." Young trees rather than old, large ones phould be selected for planting. One-yeareold fruit trees are fur the most part preferable to two -year-olds. They transplant more readily and more mately, The proper depth to plant is the depth at evhie..h the tree stood in the nursery. The beginner usually sets ,his trees too deep rather than too shut - low, in heavy soils. Before setting out trees, trim any rag- ged woods on the roots and shorten very long. roots so they will not be cramped in planting. Tramp the aoil firmly from the bottom of the hole up, in setting. When the hole is filed, spread an inch of loose soli over the tramped surface so as to prevent baking and errylrig out. peach trees should be pruned back most severely of any of our orchard fruits when set. All the side branches thould be cut off close, thue trimming the tree to a single whip. This Whip ahould then be shortened to about two and a half feet in height. Cherry trees, when at out, should be pruned least severely of any of our or- chard fruits. If well branched, cut out the central stem of the tree so as to leave an open centre, Leave three to five main outward spreading limbs well distributed around the trunk. The reason for pruning the peach so eeverely when set out is because it read-, ilY put oet: strong new limbs from the main trunk. On the other band, the reason why the branches of the sour cherry should not be shortened, is be- cause they start growth readily from the active buds near the tip of the limb, but will not produce vigorous growth from the dormant buds of the main stem or betas of the limbs.

A sanitary pilgrimage to Mecca should not pass withoUt a word: In the past the devout who journeyed across the Arabian desert fell prey- to many a scourge of disease, not to mention incursions of bandits. TEs year the returning travellers tell a dif- ferent story. Among other things they tell of a Mecca minus the Turks who have ruled It so long And of a grand sherif, a descendent of Allah, who has, not only revolted from the Ottoman ernpire, but has studied hygiene.' The ceremony or receiving the IIolY Carpet at Cairo on its return from Mecca took place in the presence of the Prime Minister, representing the Sul- tan, who is indisposed. The pilgrim- age was accomplished this year with- out any untoward incident. All those who took part in it are highly satisfied with the manner in which the grand sherif of Mecca cared for their nee -is, Especially. rentarkable were the by- gienic precautions to which the im- munity of the pilgrimage from enelerit and plague is in great measure as- cribed. It is said that the Indians and the Moslems from other regions that were met at afecca were similarly faVOrablr impressed, and that the news spread by returning pilgrims of the successful ac- eomplishment of the pilgrimage, amid conditions' contrasting strikingly with those existing before the war, when pillage and bloodshed were et daily oc- currence, and epidemics and terrible privations followed in the wake of the pilgritne, will go a long way to convince the Moslem world of the ben- efleial effects accruing to it from the grand sherit's blow for independence. —Exchange. • --,---aseee— Willis—Did you have a god time at the Bumps' last eevning?

We are told that the food sup- ply of the world itt very low, The producers of farm foods are becoming legs, auti the non -producing consumers are inceeasing, Wide sections of coun- try, which were formerly productive, are being trampled by armies, and lerge- calantities Of food materials are now being lost in transit. The food Situation is becoming increasingly ser- ious. More than one-half of the cropping land of Ontario is now in grass, and the grass lands of the Province have been increasing at the rate of fully one hundred thousand acres annually dur- ing the last four years. During this time there has been at decrease in On- tario and in the whole of Canada of live stock, including dairy cattle, beef cattle, sheep and swine, in the last four years there has been an actual de- crease in the acreage in Ontario Of 28 per cent. In beans, 67 per cent, in peas, 7 per cent, in winter wheat, 10 per cent, in turnips, and 12 per cent. in po- tatoes. In 1910 83 per cent. of the beans, 84 per cent. of the peas, 82 per cent. of the fall wheat and 30 per cent. of the potatoes of Canada were produc- ed ixt Ontario. It is estimated that an average acre of beans produces as muck real food material as is usually obtained from five to fifteen acres of pasture land in the production of either meat Or milk, With slight exceptions. the most economical sources of food materials in Ontario In the past winter were ob- tained from the following groups: First, farm crops, oats, wheat, corn, • T ET a woman ease your suffering. / want 1-deyou to write, and let me tell eau of my simple method of home treatment, eend you ten days' free trial. post. • A paid, and put you In touch with Qat, women in Canada who will feti bas done for theta.7 dly tell what my method 4 If you are troubled sense. with weak, tired % feelings, he& d- der weakness, ache, b a c ic- constipation, ea, ache, bear- tarrhal conditions, 1n down ealte painin the sides, regu. larly or irregttlarly, It> bloating, 50080 01 falling or misplacement of internal 0r- It411' palpitation, hot flashes, dark rings gans, nervousness, desire to cry, under the eyes, or a loss of interest in life, write to me to -day.

According to recent determinations and prevail- ing prices, as much valuable food ma- terial for human consumption could be obtained from the purchase at beans, with twenty cents, as from the pur- chase of cheese with forty-three cents, of beefsteak 'with seventy-nine cents, and of eggs with one dollar and sixty- one cents. Field beans approach animal foods in 'nutritive value. They contain a high percentage of protein, and in this respect surpass the cereals commonly used as food, such as wheat, and oats. There is a bigher percentage of protein in beans them in the best. cuts of meal, but it is not quite so completely di- gested. Protein is a nutrient which serves to build and repair body tiesues, as well as furnish energy. It performs essentially the same part in nutrition, whether it is from beans, peas, wheaa meat,- milk or cheese, Skilled labor throughout the Prov- ince is very scarce. The farmers of Ontario 'have an exceedingly difficult task ahead of them it they are to In- crease the production of the most valu- able kinds of food materials in 1917, The following suggestions are offered In the help that they may prove help- ful: 1, Carefully plan the ere', produc- tion for the season at an early date. 2.

However, we have secured our heat by combus- tion for so long that most of as believe that heat can be produced in no other way. It is hard to convinte the user of an electric flatiron, or even an elec- tric range, that nothing is burned with. in the iron, that there is no fire in the range. If you don't believe that heat can be produced without fire and corn - bastion try rubbing a coin briskly ou the earpet. itt a few seconds the coin will be too hot to hold. If you rubbed It fast euough and long enough, it would set fire to the carpet. When the coin is rubbed on the carpet it is heated by friction. By thin same process is heat produced in an electric iron or any other electric -heat- ing device. Only, in the case of elec- tricity, "friction" Is called by another name, "resistance." Electric heat is produced by tbe "resistance" offered to the flow of the current by special resistance metal inserted in the air - mit. The current flows molly and smoothly along the copper wire lead- ing into the eteetric iron. In the bot- tom of the iron is inserted a stamped leaf, or a grid of resistance wire, through whic_h the current must force its way before It can flow on to com- plete the circuit, but there is pressure, or voltage, enough to force it over the difficult path. In overcoming this re- sistance a part of the electrical energy is changed to heat energy and the resistance wire becomes quite hot. Anwire offers more or less resist- ance to the flow of electricity. The term'however, is usually applied only to those wires possessiag a higher specific resistance than copper wire. Silver has the lowest electrical resist- ance of alt the metals, but as silver Is costly, and as copper has but slightly greater resistance, it is copper wire that is in comrnercral use, so all cora- pariso.as are made with reference to an electrical current. This resistance to the current causes the electrical energy to become converted Into heat, and it is by the utilization of this heating characteristic that resistance Wire finds so great a use to -day iu the electrical trade. . Resistattee wires are almost always. Composed of alloys of various metalS. They are usually given trade names by the concerns making them. The cent - position of the various resistance wires now on the market, however, are nickel and chromium, nickel and steel, nickel, copper and manganese (man- ganin), nickel and copper, nickel and manganese, nickel, copper, manganese and aluminitnn and copper, nickel and zinc (German silver).
