A. 11. B.: -This plan has been tried
h'Sv a mother and was successful in
curing her little daughter, who bad
violent spells of temper. When a fit
of temper came on, the mother took
a basin of cold water and sponged the
little girl's face and neck, holding the
eold sponge especially long at the
temples, behind the ears, and at the
back of the neck. In a few moments
the tense little muscles relaxed, the
yes grew less wild and the child
would• lie down. Then the mother
would take her daughter's hand and
talk to her lovingly but firmly on self-
control. After six or seven treat -

are used for infant feeding can be
thoroughly cleaned by rinsing first
with cold water then washing with
hot soapsuds and a clean bottle brush.
Rinse the bottles both inside and out-
side in an abundaace of flowing clean
water, preferably under the cold water
faucet; examine each bottle to see
there is no cloudiness or speck re-
maining. Then place in a bottle rack
and set in a moderately hot oven for
an how,. The bottles will be sterile
and fit for use. Bottles may also be
put over a fire in a boiler filled with
cold water, to boil for half an hour,
after which they should be carefully
draihed and kept dust -free. But the
oven method is preferable. Cool the
oven slightly by opening the door a
few minutes before removing the bot-
tles; this will prevent the cracking
that ?alight result on sudden exposure
to the colder air of the room. -2. To

players it in a circle and there must ,
be a leader, who tells a story. The
story teller goes very rapidly, invent-

frequently introducing the phrase.
"change places." No attention must
be paid to this unless he adds, "The
King is here." Then all must jump
up and try to take different seats. In
the confusion the leader tries to slip
into a seat, and then the one left
without a place has to start a story.
It adds much to the excitement if the
leader sometimes seems on the brink
of giving the sentence which means a
general move, such as "Change places,
the King -will come sox.," or some-
thing else of royal news, to which no
attention should be paid.

Shear fairly early, at least before
the very warm spring days arrive and
thus save the ewe discomfort and loss
in weight, With wool as valuable
per pound as butter, the greatest care
should be taken to produce the clean-
est, best fleece and properly to care
for the same after shearing. Co-
operative marketing will add from two
to eight cents per pound revenue from
your wool.

Symptome of acute indigestion are:
uneasiness, lying down and rising, op-
pressed breathing, eructations of
gases or attempts to vomit, pain
usually continuous but varying in in-
tensity.
Give 2 to 3 ozoil of turpentine in
a pint of raw linseed oil as a drench.
Foment the abdomen. If pain be
severe give 2 drams of the solid ex-
tract of belladonna.. Repeat ff neces-
sary in 2 hours. Give rectal injec-
tions.

Make haste slowly -with the team

The better the sire the higher the
dividends he \sill pay and in no line
of live stock does this hold more em-
phatically true than in horses.
More horees, heavier horses and
horses in better condition all through
the working season will lower produc-
tion cost. Prepare the horses in the
early sprieg for a hard summer's
work by regularly exercising and
gradually increasing to heavier work.
'When the spring work begins it is
high time to give the horses' shoul-
ders proper attention, To work a
horse with a sore shoulder is barer-
ous. The collar should fit so that
one can easily get the hand between
the bottom of it and the horse's throat,
If it is too large it will be sure to
make the neck sore, and if too small
it will choke when the horse pulls.
Never use a pad under a collar so as
to make it fit; a pad keeps all an out
from under the collar and the shoul-
ders soon scald in hot weather. The
first thing to do when going to work
a colt is to see whether there is a col-
lar to fit bim. If not go and buy
one.
The man who makes the most sat-
isfactory returns out of hogs is the
man who is in hogs all the time, and
only to the extent that his farm will
conveniently carry.
For Ontario farmers, the bacon
type of hog is beyond question the
comes. Feed is too high in price to
waste on lice and ticks and the
new-
ly -born animals will thrive better if
they are free from them.
Undocked and uncastrated grade
Iambs are always an indication of
primitive methods in the handling of
sheep, and no farmer who takes an
interest in hisfrock will neglect the
-
performance of these operations.
t pe to be roduced That is the type
which both the home and the English
market calls for, and 'for this type
these markets will pay a premium.
The hog ie essentially a by-product
a the farm and a means of turning, to
valuable account commodities which
would otherwise be largely \twice
such ae whey or skim milk, small pos
tatoes, grain shelled in the field.
The hog, like other meat animals,
renders it pessible to make a double
profit out of coarse grains -one pro-
fit in a reel "home market" for the
grain itself, and another in the man-
ure produced in feeding.
The bacon type can be produced at
least as cheaply as the thick fat.
For the production of the bacon
type of hog, one finished at 175 to
200 pounds, barley is one of the best of
feeds, and will give a greater gain
for the amount of feed used than
will corn; but barley should be mixed
with other grain to increase its
palatability. In a general way oat
chop is the best grain for growing
hogs, and barley and corn and shorts
for finishing. Milk in all eases adds
to economy in production.

i One cause of cream failing to ripen

To give proper care to milk you

TIME FOR INDOOk
BENING
Preliminary Sketching of Rov,-s and Space to Be Devoted to
Varieties Means Tune -Saving Labor.
In spring, gather up the bones which
have accumulated during the winter Seeds for planting the home vege-
table garden should be ordered at once,
so as to be on hand as soon as the
weather and condition of the soil
make planting possible. Before or-
dering seed the home gardener should
look over his plot, measure' its area,
size up the soil, 'decide on the best
location for each vegetable and deter-
mine how much seed he will require
for the space available for each kind.
Seeds cost more this year than in 're-
cent seasons and they may go higher,
so it is well to be prenared.
It will be helpful to ;lake a rough
plan of the proposed garden. On this
plan indicate the spaces to be used for
each "Variety and also by means of
colored pencils or symbols show tyliere
a second crop is to be planted or in-
terplantecl between gr0Wing rows, and
also arrange for the second and third
crops which are to follow those
previously harvested. Such a plan
will enable the gardener to keep the
ground busy all season, supplying
fresh vegetables during the summer
and producing in the late fall root and
other crops for whiter use.
Once the preliminary spading and
working of the garden has been dor-',
it is as easy to raise two or three
crops as to keep the garden clean o
weeds for producing only one picicing.
Those whngardening
or who wish to have their children
take an interest should have some one
to do the heavy spading or breaking
up of the soil. This work frequently
disgusts novices and children who
would continue an intereet in the gar-
den if the task was simply to cultivate
soil already broken up. A couple f
hours of labor would be sufficient for
a small back yard. In case of a
patch from twenty-five to fifty feet
and upwards, it is cheaper to have the
place plott-ed and harrowed at a cost
of about $1.50 for that area and more
in peoportion to laeger extent.
The questions of bow much space
and tirne one must have for certain
sized crops and results are important,
but just neve these can be deferred,
since out-cloor work Is impossible on
account of the hard winter and lata
spring. Indoor gardening such as
the seed buying and planning spoken
of is possible.
Many plants can be started in the
house, both vegetable and flower, and
be ready to plant Out when the ground

THE CALL FOR CHARACTER
Character is the Only Fortune Worth Accumulating, the Only
Possession That Survives.
` Thou desirest truth in the inward
parte."--Psalms, li., 6.
Character is not what you say you
are. that is profession; nor what you
do, that is conduct; nor what people
think about you, that is reputation.
Character is what you are. It is the
central self, the man inside the man.
With truth as the fabric of character
we have manhood at its best. The
call of the hour is f6r character, No
substitutes will do; no paper currency,
no promises to ray, only the pure gold
of reality will answer.
In this age of fortune hunting
character is the only fortune worth
atcumulating. It weathers all gales
of adversity, defies all financial panics.
When the curtain is rue g down and we
enter the narrow door af the sepulchre
all other possessions are scraped off.
Character alone goes through to God.
Character has three characteristics'
--2Veracity, which is character express-
ed in speech; honesty, which is char -
Artier expressed in deed; sincerity,
which is &erecter expressed in mo-
tive and purpose.
Three Aepects of Character
"Whatever mistakes or follies you
may commit, don't lie," said a father
taking, leave of his boy. Wise advice,
because deceit honeycombs the moral
natare, and makes it collapse under
sudden strain of temptation. Dis-
honesta is stupidity, because it chloro-
forms conscience, that sensitive nerve
of the soul, implanted by God to shove
us the difference between right and
tvrang, and betsveen the calls of the
angel and the animal in no
Whatever honesty costs it is always
a bargain. Mother Nature teaches
:sincerity. She has no false prophets,
she keeps all her pledges. When the
sun is in Capricorn it is winter; in
Cancer it is summer. Hence4, when
noen is insincere he is out of gear with
nature's machinery and out of tune
with the syMphonies of God.
Cervantes seid, "Honesty is the best
Polley," but the old. Spaniard might
have added that a men who is holiest
merely for policy is not honest, he is
politic, Honesty disdains all cloaks.
Mid the oily tongue which calls steal-
ing "appropriation," which speaks of
the "tricks of trade" instead of the
"crimes of trade," and reports "she
won the prize" instead of "she gambl-
ed.
Many a home has gone to pieces,
man y• a marriage tie has been shatter-
ed from lack of sincerity. Little acts
of deception have caused the rift with-
in the lute. A safeguaiel against evil
is to have no secrets. Where there is
a secret there must be somethirig
wrong. I do not refer to legitimate
private affairs, but to secrets which, if
told, woud involve us in shame. Pity
the poor wretch v.,..ho for the brief mo -
illicit
pleasure walks every
day shadowed by the spectre of ex-
posure.
Character Must Ile Acquired
The call for character mal.es DO
compromise with hypocrisy. Jesus
faulted the Pharisees because they
stressed cenduct instsad of character,
taught rules instgad of principles, riff-
ered the water at the faucet but neg-
lected to sleartse the spring. Out of
the heart are the issues of life. Re-
pentar.ce means letting tiuth get its
grip on your central Self. Outward
respectability and polished manners
are only veneer. You cannot purify
the cistern by painting the pump.
Character cannot be inherited; it
must be acquired. It is the result of
the continual doing of the right things.
No nxan ever gets ready for a crisis at
a moment's notice. What he does at
the critical moment depends on what
he was doing yesterday and the day
before, and the day before that. Our
habits grow upon us as our flesh does.
Good habits, like good flesh, make for
health; bad habits, like bad flesh,
make for disease. Begin your good
habits early in life, Few men forts
any new habits after thirty -it takes
all their time to steer their old ories,
tilesset; is the man who thinks char-
acter building worth while and builds
the structure, not out of driftwood,
but out of granite bloeks

Build it straight and strong and true,
Build it high and long and broad,
Build it for the eye of God,"
-Rev. Daniel Itotrman Martin., '

dener starts his early garden with

Any sort Of wooden box filled with
good soil answers the purpose. The
following crarections for making seed
boxes and handling the plants should
be carefully followed.
Seeds of early tomatoes and cab-
bage, as well as cauliflower and pep-
per, should be planted in a seed box
in the house at once. The seed box
houl d be three to four inches deep.
gtevelve to fourteen inches wide and
ew
t',eety -to 'tenty-four inches long.
Special boxes can be bought cheaply,
if nothing suitable can be found
around the home. A layer of about
one inch of gravel or cinders should
be .placed. in the bottom of the box,
!then -it should be filled nearly full of
rich garden soil, or soil enriched -with
decayed eavee oi mantne. Bonemeal,

1 Soil should he pressed down firmly
with a small piece of board and rows
made one-fourth to one-half inch deep
and two inches apart crosswise of the
box-. The seed should be distributed
, eight to ten to the inch in the rows
and be covered. The soil should be
gently watered, so as not to wash up
the seeds, and the box set in a warm
place in the light -in the sunshine by
a window being best. Water enough
must be given gently from time to
time to cause the seeds to germinate
land grow thriftily, but not enough to
'leak through the box. If a piece of
glaSs is used to cover the box it will
hold the moisture in the soil and hast-
en the germination of the seeds.
s When the plants are from an inch to
an inch and e half Moh they should
1be thinned to one or two inches apart
in the roW, rio as to give them space
1 enough to make a strong, stocky
growth. If it is desired to keep the
plants which are thinned out they
may be set two inches apart each way
in other boxes prepared as mentioned
for the seed box.
When the weether becomes mild the
box of plants 'should be set out of
doers part of the time, so that the
plants will "harden oft' in preparation
for transplanting to the garden later,
A good watering should be gieen just
before the plants are telcee out Of
the box for transplanting, so that a
large ball of earth will stick to the
roots, of each ono.
