Man ' children start school in ex cellent health, but after a short that home work, examinations, hurrie meals and crowded school monis cams their blood to become weak and thin their nez^'es over wrought and the: color •and spirits lost. It is a grea mistake to let matters drift when boy and girls show symptoms of nervous tiers or weak blood. They are al most sure to fall victims of St. Vitus dance, or drift into debility that leads to other troubles. Regular meals, out door exercise and plenty of sleep are '-h necessary to combat the nervous wear of school life, But it is still more im- portant that parents should pay strict en to the school child's blood s Keep this rich and red ha giv u `.e Williams' Pink ac- cording is - Pills c cording to directions and the boy or tial will be sturdy and fit for school, JiIie value of Dr. 'Williams' Pink Pills in cases of this kind is shown by the e d e r t s Gen nave you heard the expression, "and that suggested an :idea to enol" _ Z have spent most of my life study-. ing about farming.

There is one outstanding thing about ,the development of Canadian farming 'which you: '.and I ought to recognize and use to better advantage, a and that is. the fact that we re not learning as much from the people and things right around us as we shouldlearn, No individual ,is very original, The man who appears to be most original is, for the most part, merely applying ideas which lie has picked up here and there. Few of us ever originate any- thing out and out. We merely go a step farther than something we have seen or heard about. How of r lne of experiments trying to „Sol've important problems, and I have a few times succeeded in solving them in this way. But I have come firmly to the conclusion that the best way to study farm problems rs to study them on farms of the men who have worked them out in a practical way. I have found that most of the prac- tical problems which experimenters statement of Mrs, Pearl Cl.

Many of the ,old sayings ,contain ma much of truth, but do not go far, set enough. Time is money --only ,if we are wase enough to turn it into money. The new covenants of civilization demand that wrongs be righted and misunderstandings cleared away by *ntruetivo action. From City to Farm.We are continually hearing about the farm boy who goes to the city, but we hear little about the city boy who •gees` to ,:the farm, Yet, -Just as many farm hogs have become successful business men in our cities, so there are undoubtedly many city boys who have become successful farmers. This !is more especially true in the conn- f tries that are being newly opened up, stick as Western Canada. Among the winners at the International Soil-Pro- ducte Exposition held at Kansas City recently at least one, if not more, of the successful oaliibitors was born and bred in a ritzy At only became a farm- er after he had reached manhood. John W. Lucas, who won prizes for white oats, brome grass seed, barley and rye, had never been a farmer un- til he settled on his homestead in Cay - ley, Alberta, sixteen years ago. How- ever, lie has set to work to learn a he could about this noble profess: and ziobody can say that he has ma a bad job of it. Mr. Lucas was born in one of ti cities of Eastern Canada. Like man other boys whose parents are in moderate circumstances he earne money after school hours deliverin newspapers and in various other od jobs. heaving school, he says, he go a real job at six dollars a week an later carie West and woiked in `Vi nipeg for a year. Ile had always fe 0 desire to become a farmer, howeve and it is not surprisiug that the eall of the Canadian Government for se tiers for free Homesteads at once ap pealed to hint. He came to Albert in 1903 and located on his homestea in Cayley, in the southern part of the province, the same year. He is now the owner of eight hun dred acres of land in a block, and i interested, besides, in six and a hal sections of land ---4,160: On his farm 1 to has produced as much. as 139 bush- els of oats to the acre and 66 bushels • o. o Try this yourself then peas It along to other,.. a Laugh.

The success of John W. Lucas f J should be inspiring to many a city boy. '"Any boy can do what I have', rdone in this country," he says. "All it needs is persistence.'" To this may be added patience and a desire to ex- cel, qualities possessed,, by most suc- cessful men, whether in city or cowl- - r all winter growing crops, inelud g rye, alfalfa, clovers, etc,, but it frequently happens that when the covering is most needed the snow is l not there. Progressive farmers have learned out of practical experience 1 that a very light covering of strawy P manure or straw is of the greatest b value to these winter crops when the snow is elf the ground. This straw d stays after the spring opens and pro- tects the plants against the excessive action of freezing and thawing on the 'b root system. Neither is the time re- quired for the application of the straw 8 w sted since the fertilizing element a contained therein and the effect upon the physical condition of the soil are p just as apparent as if the material H had been applied to ann. other crop f• and at a time of the year when labor ti y be mare urgently required at tsonablc work, of wheat to the acre. The quality o tis oats znay be judged from the fac hat for live years he won the premie tenors for this crop at. the Alberta rovincial Seed Fair. He has also een a regular exhibitor and prize winner at the International Soil Pro - nets Exposition and other exhibitions held in the United States. It has been Mr. Lucas' ambition to. mime a good fanner and he has pared no efforts to ]earn all he could bout his pro/mien, He spent the winters of 1912 and 1913 in Iowa as art of his agricultural education, ere he visited some of the best arms in the State, asked lots of ques- ons, saw a goad deal and Game away itiz as much knowledge as he could gather, He considers these two win- ters spent -in Iowa among the best in- vestments he ever made. Ho learned much` about horses, cattle and hogs, and also how good farriers select the eat of corn, how in this way they in- crease the yield, producing ears true to type and uniform in size. He figured that if corn could be so much improved by selection the same thing could be done with the heads of wheat, oats, barley and hills of potatoes. He came back to Alberta and began to use this knowledge. Not only has he increased the yield of these crops, but has im- proved the- quality and type as well. Instead of fields of oats barley and other crops with heads or all sizes he has now fields of these grains with heads nearly all alike. By hand selec- tion of potatoes, saving only the pro- lific hills• true to type, he has been able to produce as high as, thirty-seven marketable potatoes froone hill, and from one potato planted a yield of seventy-three pounds of potatoes. This is a record difficult to beat may - where. These are some of the things a city Hospital for .,Sick Children TORONTO Upkeep of Big Charity Requires Fifty. Cents a Minute.
