Da11hn- tyne, Sturgeon Falls, Ont., writes : "My hus- band was treated for appendicitis and. the doctors ordered an operation. But he would not consent to an operation and be- gan the use of Dr. C'hase's Kidney - Liver Pills. Since doing so he has had no need of an operation or even of a doctor, as the trouble has completely left him. I cannot find words to speak our gratitude for his cure. Dr. Chase's Medicines have proven of wonderful benefit in our home, as the Oint- ment cured my little' girl of a severe burn, •when nothing else would bring relief." Dr. David II. Reeder writes as follows of appendicitis "In •considering the treatment of any condition of sickness it has always been my rule to first find the cause. To my mind, it's the only logical way. Many people seem to think that if they have had an operation for apPeodlcitis they are forever immune, and need have no further fear along that line, but I say emphatically, and I think you will agree I a.m right, that after an attack of appendicitis, even though you have been successfully operated upon and the appendix removed, your troubles have only just begun unless you remove the cause. What was the cause of the appendicitis ? "The thoughtless will say inflamrrlation in the appendix. No, inflammation in the appendix is appendicitis, •but what caused the inflammation ? Constipation, yes, that is the prime cause. If you were never constipated you would forever be eafe. Appendicitis is only one of the results of the retention of fecal matter in the colon for too long a period." There is no longer any question that the real cause of appendicitis is constipation. By keeping the bowels regular you not only prevent appendicitis, but also a host of other ills, some of which are even more dangerous than appendicitis. Dr. Chase's Kidney -Liver Pills are recommended to you in this connection, not as a mere relief by effecting the movement of the bowels, but rather as a positive cure for constipation, As is well known, the bile secret'd by the healthful action of the liver is Nature's cathartic. So long as the bile flows freely into the intestines there is no constipation of the bowels and no clogging of the excretory organs. Hence the wisdom of using Dr. Chase's Kidney-Livei Pills to ensure regular working of the liver, kidneys and bowels. You thereby save yourself much inconvenience from the minor ills of life, and ensure against such fatal diseases as appendicitis and peritonitis. Dr..

'Lo the Editor: - It has been ;,hewn that there, is spent and lost through the liquor traffic about two hump ed million dti.ars t•very year in Comma. It has been shown that over five thousand lose their lives through drink, and several times that many are serious- ly injured by it, It has been shown by courts that drink is the cause of nearly all the crime. It has been shown that our taxes are at least thirty per cent. higher on ac- count of poverty, crime and insanity caused by drink.. It has been shown that drink lessens a man's ability to work, endure or re- sist disease. It has been shown that beer is worse than whiskey is as much as it contains the same kind of alcohol as whiskey and also other 'substances which are ruinous to the kidneys. Worst of all it has been proved by Government commissions and scientific reports that it is causing degeneracy of the people—children of drinking parents rarely equalling their parents either physically or mentally. The war is on. Earnest men and women are fighting valiently, but they are lacking in munitions and handi- capped by indifference. The enemy occupies many such strategic positions as some newspapers, many bill -boards, fences, and even housetops, From these points of vantage they are firing poisonous gases (lies) into the ranks of the people, misleading men, women and children. The great mass of our people have not yet enlisted for active service. We would have them on the run in a short time if all interested would enlist. Old and young can fight. There are many plans of campaign. Among them the Lincoln -Lee Plan is simple, easy, cheap, and offers great hopes of success. It is simply this— each Sunday School or other organ- ization secures the set of fifty large scientific posters. They contain the latest scientific teaching regarding the evil effects of alcoholic liquors. A poster is exhibited on a board out- side the Church or in a shop window every week. Along with the large posters can be obtained small repro- ductions in type and colors, one for each family ir, the school. People pass- ing the Church lead the large poster. and the small ones are carried into the Homes by the children. They can be used once a week. or ;once a month, when the cost would be about ten cents for each change of poster.

The .points given below are well worthy of notice in the business of potato growing. The partial failure of of the crop of 1915 and the higher price of potatoes at this season will no doubt encourage many farmers to go in heavily for this erop next Spring, with the result that prices may be lower next Fall, but if proper care is taken in planting and caring for:potatoes year by year the aver- age returns will well repay the ef- fort. Always use true -to -type whole seed, if it can be obtained from high yielding crops or by hill selection. Never plant seed from market etock running less than 300 to 500 bushels per acre. Use only immature seed, sprouted and greened before planting. Treat all seed potatoes with corros- ive sublimate or formalin. Plant seed -plot potatoes late so as to obtain a larger set -on, and harvest them before full maturity. Don't plant potatoes on ground that has been in potatoes for a number o` years. Adopt a rotation of crops that pro- vides for potatoes only one year in five on the same ground. 'Good seed is cheaper than poor seed, even though the first cost is twice as irtiuch. Plant potatoes only on good ground +';; that has been in alfalfa or some other legume for a number of years, and that has had a green crop turned under the Fell before the potatoes are planted. if( Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S C:AS'`I+`O R IA k4t.

USE WEIGH SCALES No up-to-date dairy farmer thinks of carrying on his business without making tests of his cows, and this entails, first, the weighing of the milk. The scales used for this purpose will hardly do for weighing live animals or a load of hay, and to know the weight of these articles is very often as important, to the farmer as the weight of his cows' milk.

No town merchant guesses at the weight of his merchandise, and he takes care to do the weighing himself. Not only in sell- ing do scales prove useful to the farmer, they are necessary for proving the weight of articles purchased and for determining the balance of rations, the size of crops, and of many farming operations. A good platform scaly: that will weigh loads up to three or four tons may seem expensive, but, on an average farm, the cost will be saved in two or three years, if full advantage is taken of the opportunities it offers. In drawing barnyard manure to the field, the use of a weigh scale can save money, though at first glance the notion seems super- fluous. Many times a mac gets enough manure for ten acres onto nine acres or even less, and the remainder of the field has to be patched out with . an in- sufficient application, which means that the odd acre or two is practically wasted for one season at any rate,. to say nothing of the loss from overgrowth that may result on the too heavily manured parts of the field. Spraying operations demand the use of scales in making the mixture, and a great number of other uses for this farm neccessity might he mentioned. To get his fair share and to know what he is doing, the farmer must have weigh scales. and good ones. r',• came. and Sore Eyes.

Sudden changes of temper- ature without preparation are apt to bring them on,and when they come they are likely to stay for some time. A western editor who caught a cold states that his friends gave him in one week the following infallible prescrip- tions: Starve a cold. Don't eat Feed a cold. Eat all you. can. Stay in bed. Take plenty of exercise. Drink gallons of water. Don't drink anything. Let it run its course. It will anyhow. Nip it in the bud. Stay indoors and keep warm. Get plenty of fresh air. Take quinine. Better see a doctor. Yon can't tell What's a cold anyhow? Cure it yourself. It is likely, if we should have any more of this changeable weather colds will continue to be prevalent, and even the possible advent of steady cold weather will still have the accompani- inent of a considerable quota, mainly because people violate the laws of health. The Ottawa Journal gives the following advice of how not to get colds, as follows: 1. Don't eat too much. 2. Don't drink spirits. 3. Don't keep your house red hot. 4. Get something like an hour's walking in the open air daily, off and on: and as part of it, one stretch at ,east of half an hour continuously. 5.

FIRLIIT IN ruii NORTH Valuable hints Coutatned in New Ontario Pamphlet, In a pamphlet entitled ".Advice to Northern Ontario Fruit Growers," is- sued by tate Department of Horticul- ture at the Ontario Agricultural Col- Jege, some very valuable hints are riven. According to this authority the best of the hardiest varieties of ap- ples are the Transparent, Oldenburg, Dudley, and Hibernal. Mele.tosh Red is reported as being hardy and worth while testing. These varieties, the publication reads, are being grown successfully in the vicinity of the Soo, Algoma, and can probably be grown in districts even colder. Crabapples aro hardier than the varieties named. Whitney and Isham crabs are the best in quality. There are no cherries worth while planting in the cold parts of Ontario. None of the plums commonly grown in old Ontario can be grown.. north. The native American varieties are very hardy, however, and well worth plaiting. The best varieties are Ilawkeye, Wolf, Stoddard, and Cheney. Where snowfall is plentiful cur- rants, gooseberries, and raspberries can be grown with little trouble. Raspberry canes are safer, however, if laid down en fall. Strawberries should be well covered with a loose mulch for winter protection, but suf- fer seriously from frost at blossom time. The hardiest good varieties of � small fruits are: Red Currant, Raby Castel; Black Currant, Naples; Gooseberry, Houghton; Red Rasp- berry, Herbert and King; Strawberry, Parson's Beauty. The ideal site for fruit should have good wind protection and should be of sufficient elevation to avoid frost. The strong sun of winter. and spring is the worst enemy of fruit trees in cold climates, and locations should be chosen, it possible, away from the sun. Southern exposures aro objectionable; northern or north- eastern slopes are ideal. The soil should he light rather than heavy, and must be well drained. Trees should be headed low and kept low in order to shade the trunk and main branches. The semi - hedgerow is strongly recommended, with rows running north and south. This is so that the trees will shade each other in the hottest part of the day. Fruit trees in cold climates must not be forced for strong growth, because of the dangers of freezing back and splitting in winter. A good mulch is probably better than any tillage whatever. Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deaf- ness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the re- sult, and unless the inflammation ean, be taken cut and this tube restored to its normal condition. hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

Silage is the great feed -all of the successful live stock farm. The feed- ing of it requires lots of work unless the feeder has a head for business. Here is a device for feeding silage from a bank silo. It may also be used on above ground silos, however. One man can handle 100 head of live stock easily with such an arrange- ment, the carrier track being extend- ed out over as many feed. boxes as necessary to handle the cattle or sheep to be fed. The boxes for feed- ing may be arranged in pairs, the posts that support the inner sides of the boxes extending into the air to support the track for the feed car- rier at their upper ends.

The soil will show marked im- provement because of the various crops that are grown. The wheat making the early growth, as also all grain crops, will need to draw heav- ily on plant food when bacterial ac- tion in the soil is necessarily slow. For this purpose sowing them on a field that grew a crop of corn or po- tatoes the year previous will give them an advantage. There is a bet- ter otter supply of plant food and also more moisture. Changing field crops gets rid of many insect pests, soil diseases, and a bigger crop is to be expected. Flax wilt will die out in from six to eight years if the land is not sown to flax. Weeds are also easily controlled when a rotation is practiced. Some weeds grow only in certain crops, 80 if that erop comes once in four or five years it is killed out entirely or at least checked. "Thoroughbred" and "Purebred." Tho two terms, "thoroughbred" and "purenred," so often confused, are, strictly speaking, absolutely dif- ferent. "Pure-bred" (which, to be grammatically correct, should be "purely bred") means just what the term implies; that is, of pure breed- ingp In its general application it is used as being synonymous with the term "eligible for registration." "Thoroughbred" is the name of tbe old British breed of racing horses, and is never properly applied to any other class of stock, although fre- quently used in error as applying to any pure-bred d animal Even Web- ster's dictionary recognizes this latter use, but no well-informed and careful writer or speaker makes the mistake of using the word "thoroughbred" in place of "pure-bred." It is the name of a bred of horses, and nothing more. Feeding'k'ront Silage.
