The year is young and joyous, the year is glad and gay; no gloomy doubts annoy us, as we jog on our way. We've shaken all bad habits we're righteous as can be, and so, as blithe as rabbits we gambol in our glee. No more from brimming flagon we'll blow the creamy foam, no mere, with Alpine Jag on,we'll go at midnight home. The fleshpots are deserted, we scorn the demijohn, the jugs with which we flirted are banished now and gone. We'.ve fired the old rank briar that caused domestic strife, we're striving for the higher, the better. nobler life; we've joined the moral fogies who are in virtue versed, and shun the long black stogies which smell like wienerwurst. No more to back the ponies our footstep will be bent; the bank will get our moneys and pay us three per cent.; we'll dodge the stale devices that every spendthrift knows, and swallow cherry ices instead of tangletoes. Our pledges are not shal- low, they're founded on the rock; and every man a halo will wear around his block Now, may the gods who guard us from their siesta rouse,r_and brace us and reward us with strength to keep our ad vows; Oh, may our lives be holy while 1 this glad New Year stays, and may we never slowly drift back to evil ways!

Rural Social Life in Winter. "We think," says'Rural New Yorker, "the dreariness of country life in the winter has been a- good deal overrated, for as a rule it is the season when social activities begin; friendly visiting, farmers' meetings, etc. The women find plenty to do, not only in the regu- lar housework, but in sewing and other preparations for spring, so Oat their usual course of life is not interrupted. There are, however, some farms where thete is little stock kept, and the men's winter work is limited to a compara- tively narrow daily routine. Under such conditions they are likely to suffer in health from lack of the exercise they are accustomed to, and to feel a mental depression or irritation that really has its basis in physical conditions. If. in addition to this, the living rooms are somewhat cramped, and the family huddled together to save the heating of extra rooms, we have ample material for friction. City people now go to the country in the winter for the purpose of enjoying outdoor sports. There is every reason why country people should make the most of the wholesome pleas- ures of rural life, and they should be planned for like the season's work." A Weak Heart. When the heart is weak or irregular in action, when the blood is thin and watery, remember the blood -forming qualities of Dr. Chase's Nerve Food and by its use flood the system with rich, red, vitalizing blood. This is Nature's way of curing weakness and disease. It is the only way to ensure lasting benefits. The Farmers' Revenge. Canadian Courier: Why does not some smart story -writer give us a story with the title, "The Farmers' Re- venge"? In September, 1911, Canada voted against a free exchange of beef between Canada and the United States. But the farmer has had his revenge. Woodrow Wilson butted in and knocked off the United States duty. The Cana- dian farmers saw their opportunity, seized it, and started sending their beef over the line. Now in this December, 1913, we consumers of beef are being asked to pay just about twice as much for beef as we paid a year ago. In December, 1903, beef sold wholesale at $0.26 a hundred; last week it sold in Toronto at 315.25. The way the farmers of Ontario are chuckling is fierce -there is no other word to describe it. They are having their revenge. The consumer is paying 3 to 5 cents a pound more for his beef than he was a year ago and nearly 10 cents a pound more than he paid in 1903. The wholesaler and the retailer are making very little -the farmer is get- ting the incrsase. ^ Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORIA A Sermon on Beds. (From Rural New Yorker.) Behold how good and how pleasant a thing is a well -aired, well -made clean bed. You crawl into it dead tired, but as you draw up its coverings you shut the door on all the plagues of a whole day and lie down in this soft, dark, quiet den, which is full of sweet air and tbe essence of the sunshine. Every muscle relaxes; nothing binds you; nothing galls and plagues you. You peacefully chew your mental cud for a few minutes and then you are gone -no one knows where -but the next morning you come pack fresh and early as from a vacation. Now behold how bad and how cursed a thing is a poorly -made bed. You crawl into it for comfort and you find none. You draw up its coverings to shut the door on all the plagues of a whole day, and you land plunk in the midst of the worse plagues of a whole night. Confound the man that didn't shuck out all the cobs when he filled the husk mattress! Plague take the stingy blanket that just reaches up to the cold spot between your shoulders but does not cover it. Oh, for a clothespin to straddle your nose and shut out the faiut but unholy smell of aged perfumery that hangs about the pillow. But you must calk 'yourself. Think of pleasant thingra;;-,41,,gleep. "Once two is two, two' times two are four, three times two are six," -and when your muscles begin to relax with this sing -song you roll into the hollow in the middle of the mattress. Repeat Scripture. -That's great to go to sleep on, and there's merit in it besides. "Abraham begat Isaac, and Isaac begat Jacob, and Jacob begat Salmon, and Salmon begat Phares." You wonder if ycu wound up your watch. Up you get and hunt your vest in the dark t find it, and find that you did wind it. Then you get a drink of water and crawl back and fight that bed while the clock calls the rounds till you finally conquer it and force yourself to sleep. Next to good wholesome food and drink, a family needs for its health and comfort moderately soft, absolutely clean and perfectly -made beds.

Twenty-five cents a bottle,. Another View of the Free Food Question. Montreal Telegraph: A statistician in Ottawa, who has been' looking into the question of free food, now throws con- siderable light upon the problem. He has found that in England, where 75 per cent. of the food has to be import- ed, the prices are considerably lower than in Canada. England's population is 018 per square mile, Canada's only 1.93. Canada grows, or should produce, every article of food her people need, except imported luxuries. Yet the cost of living is going up much faster in Canada than in England. According to the latest British Board of Trade statistics, bread in London costs 2.825 cents a pound. In Ottawa the price is four cents a pound,. nearly twice as much. Yet the British loaf is largely made from Canadian. grain, shipped six or seven thousand miles. Flour retails in London for 2 5-8 cents a pound. In Canada, where the wheat is grown and made, flour retails for 4 4-5 cents tt pound. The Canadian duty is sixty cents a barrel. Granulated sugar costs five cents a pound in Ottawa. The Londoner gets the same (panty for four cents a pound. The Canadian duty is $1.08 per hundred pounds. It seems to be a common tendency: the slits in the skirts ard sneaking up on the cost of living which is also going higher.

Had Salt Rheum. Could Scarcely Do Work. Skin diseases are invariably due to bad or impoverished blood, and while not usually attended with fatal results are nevertheless very distressing to the average person. Among- the most prevalent are: Salt Rheum, Eczema, Tetter, Rash, Boils, Pimples, and Itching Skin Eruptions, Burdock Blood Bitters drives out all the humor from the blood, and makes it pure and rich. Mrs. Ellwood Nesbitt, Apsley, Ont., writes: -"I had Salt Rheum so bad I could scarcely do my work. I took two treatments of doctor's medicine, but they did me no good. A friend told me his wife had had Salt Rheum, and that Burdock Blood Bitters had cured her, so I got a bottle, and before I had it all taken my hand was better." Burdock Blood Bitters is manufac- tured only by The T. Milburn Co., Limited, Toronto, Ont. ELIZABETH ISLAND. Its Curious Little Colony of Zoological Total Abstainers. Recent investigations on the little known and rarely visited Henderson or Elizabeth island have led to tbe discovery of a eomplete and curious little colony of zoological total abstain- ers. The island, which is uninhabited, is situated about 120 miles northeast of Pitcairn island -itself suffieiently out of the way, but famous as the home of the deseendants of the mutineers of the Bounty. There is no water on it, not even a swamp, and it is only six miles long, yet it harbors quite a menagerie -a kind of rat, a lizard, described as very abundant, and no fewer than four kinds of birds, all peculiar to the is. land. These are a fruit pigeon, a lori. keet or honey eating parrakeet, a little rail or crake and a reed warbler. The strange thing about the inmates of this curious little natural aviary of coral rock, surronnded by waves in. stead of wires,is that two of its inmates are birds, one especially associated with fresh water -the rail and the war. bier. These, like the rest, must do without drinking unless the dew can slake their thirst or they have acquit.. ed toleration for sea water as a bey. erage.-Argonaut. Flight of a Great Nebula. One of the most striking spectacles revealed by telescopes is that of the great nebula in Orion. In the com- plexity of its glowing streams, spirals and strangely shaped masses, inter- cepted by yawning blaek gaps and sprinkled over with stars arranged in suggestive groups and lines, it has few rivals in the heavens. The impression of astonishment made by the sight of this nebula is heightened by knowl- edge of its enormous size. The entire solar system would appear as a tiny speck beside it. Yet this tremendous aggregation of nebulous elouds and starry swarms has been proved hy the researches of the astronomers to he flying away from the earth and the sun at the rate of eleven miles in every second. But so vast is its distance that 100 years reveal no visual effects of the great nebula's swift retreat. Not Really Lost. Bertie s sister, who is live years older than Bertie, is trying to teach him to take care of his books. The other day she could not find "Robinson Crusoe" on the mirsery bookshelf. "Where is it?" she asked. "I haven't seen it for several days. What have you done with it?" "I know where it is," said Bertie, trying to speak with assurance. "Well. where?"

THE ECONOMY OF GOOD DAIRY COWS On many farms the dairy cow will be poorly fed this winter, says the Kansas Farmer. When feed is plenti- ful and of good quality the cow has a chance to pick the best from a great deal more feed than she can consume, and under these conditions she makes a better showing than she can make In a year when feed is scarce and when she is compelled to eat tbe feed offered, whether that feed be palatable or not. The fact is that the cow must be well fed if she Is to produce milk. She must have enough feed to maintain her body and must consume a sufficient surplus to produce milk. This condition pre- vails always. The animal body armlet adapt itself to seasonal conditions. This means that the dairy cow, if she be profitable, must at all times have such feed as will enable her to produce milk to her capacity. It costs about as much in feed to maintain a COW of low capacity as it does a cow of large capacity. Figuring on this basis, therefore, one cow consumes about as much feed as another in rnain- taining herself. The cow which can consume the greatest amount of feed over and above that required by bodily maintenance is the cow which, if she 'Silts that feed to proper use, will fill the milk pail. In times when feed is plentiful the individual cow, whether of low ca- pacity or of the highest capacity, does The Jerseys are famous for their beauty, and they have the follow- ing important characteristics: (1) They convert a large part of the food consumed into milk and not Into flesh and fat; (2) they give tne richest milk; (3) they mature at an early age; hence can be bred e:.rly, and they come Into usefulness quickly. A Jersey has recently made a record of 18,783 pounds of milk in one year. This produced 1,132 pounds nine ounces of butter. A herd of Jerseys is a fine asset. not suffer from the same comparison as in times when feed is scarce. The scarcer the feed the better the cow should be; the better the cow the greater use she makes of her feed and the greater will be the profit there- from. The cow, after all, supplies only a market for the feed she consumes. The first toll she exacts is that of sup- porting herself. After this is done then the value she gives for the feed is measured by the amount of milk produced. While this is the most trying year, from the feed standpoint, Kansas has experienced in many years, neverthe- less it demonstrates the necessity of having a good cow. The good cow is not only a necessity in a year like this, but in years when feed is more plenti- ful she will give a larger return for the feed consumed than will the poor one. Just as a season like this as- serts the benefits resulting from the best of farming, so does it show the necessity for better live stock of all kinds. The best live stock will give the largest return for the feed con- sumed. The dairy cow of the best type will give a larger return for the feed she consumes than any other farm animal. Pig Management. A dry sleeping accommodation is an absolute necessity. Good ventilation is almost as important. Slates, tiles, boards and corrugated iron are too cold for pigs to make the greatest progress. There is nothing which gives the necessary ventilation and warmth in all seasons as a good foot thick of wheat straw. Exercise, es- pecially between weaning and fatten- ing, is also of very great importance. Coal or ashes and water should be within the reach of pigs of all ages to assist in counteracting the natural acidity of the stomach. A. handful of common sulphur given once a week will be helpful. Great regularity in feeding, with absolute cleanliness, is no Very small detail. Snuffles In Sheep. This is the time of year when this disease becomes prevalent. It is similar to a bad cold in persons. Keep the sheep in dry quarters that are well ventilated, but free from drafts. One of the best remedies is to hold the animal and make it inhale the fumes from tar which has been poured over red hot coals. Fresh pine tar can also be put in the mouth and on tbe nose. Prevention is better than cure. iieee the sheep dry and protected from storms. Navel Sores In Calves. Keep your barn as clean as possible .,n calving takes place.
