Uri:Wade is a freqeent form ot skin disease in tbe horse, and Is manifested by the sudden appearance of irregular lumps, roundish or oblong In shape, and varying in size, says the Amer - lean Cultivator, Some are like hemp !seed, others as large'as beaus and flat- tened upon their surface, accompanied by heat and intolerable itching, but net alvveys affecting the general health. #.* The and:mils n3ost subject to it are fat,coarse, overfed Ones, and they are The Belgian horse, according to the admirers a this breed of draft- ers, surpasses all others in uniform- ity of type. Probably no draft breed has made such progress as has the Belgian in the past twenty - Rye years. Rigid selection, good feeding and general care have been the dominant factors in bringing this about. The horse pictured is a pure bred 13eig1an stallion and a prize winner in France, generally attacked In hot weather. Sometimes it assumes a general form, in 'which case it constitutes what is known as true "surfeit." Sometimes the swellings are confined to particular parts, in others diffused over the body, and may in unhealthy animals termi- nate in abscess, attended witli more or less fever. The trouble Is caused by some dis- order of the digestive apparatus and is sometimes preceded by colic and diar- rhea. A sudden change of diet will fre- quently produce it, and it is not uncom- mon when horses are first turned out to grass. It is supposed that poisonous herbs, it draft of cold water when the animal is heated, sudden exposure to cold and. damp and stones or worms in the intestines are also causes of it. ft Is probably due to the detention In the system of deleterterus matters, vvbich ought to be got ri(1 of. Give a mild dose of physic and one ounce of bicarbonate of soda twice a day in tho food for a few days. Ifeep the horse on light laxative food, and give a linseed mash every night. The bicarbonate of soda has a most sooth- ing effect on the mucous membrane of the intestines, while the good effect of the linseed In the cases of irritation of the skin or mucous membrane is well marked. In obstinate cases tartar emetic or liquor arsenicalis may be used, the former in doses of a dram and a half in the corn or inash once a day for a week or ten days, the latter In doses ef one ounce a day in the wa- ter or as a drench for a similar period. Should there be much itching -the ani- mal rubbing itself -the skin must be bathed with warm water and dressed with the following lead liniment: Solu- tion of diacetate of lead, two drams; rectified spirit, four drams; distilled 'Water, one pint; mix. SHEEP ON THE RANGE. Bedding Out System More Profitable Than Close Herding. A.s a result of experiments during the past few years the department of agriculture is now advocating the use ef the bedding out system of herding Sheep on open ranges instead of the old close herding system which has heretofore been in use. This eystem gets its name from the fact that the herder who attends the band camps and beds his flocks wher- ever the sheep find themselves at nightfall. 'Under the old plan he estab- Iished a fixed camp and bed ground and drove the sheep back to the same place each night, From experience on the national for. est ranges last year the department states that lambs from 4bedded out bands were five pounds heavier on an average at the end of the season than thome which were trailed to and from established bed grounds and that the range can carry ft= 10 to 25 par cent More sheep than when so much is trampled out in traveling back and forth. The disadvantages of the old sys- tem, according to the department, Were twofold, those to the forage and those to the sheep. The forage suffered by being trampled badly and being actual- ly destroyed at and near the bed grounds; the sheep lost weight in going to and frotn the eatnPti, and in dry Weather Suffered not a little from dust and from croWding.

One day these two neighbors got to fighting, and so badly injured one another that neither of them was able to make - pies far some considerable time. What did the pie -less one do? Go without pie? Not much. SHE HUNT- ED UP A COOK BOOK AND FOUND OUT HOW TO BAKE PIES HERSELF. Canada to -day is in the position of the-lady-who-couldn't-Makepies. There are many things she does not make at home be- cause she has been getting them so easily from Continental Europe. But now her neighbors in Europe are at war with one another and so --for some time to come --cannot supply those things. Canada is too thrifty and serious and sensible a house- wife to sit with hands folded at such a time, While loyally contributing a number of her best sons to help settle things in Europe, Canada will not -entirely overlook her other sons who remain at home. The manufacturers of Canada will get but the recipe book and learn how to MAKE many of the things that Europe can no longer send us because of the war. And in the making of those things the manufacturers of Canada should have the , support of the financial interests and the people of Canada. The manufacturers of Canada are now making mnch of the woollen goods, motor cars, rubber goods, corsets, millinery. hosiery, silverware --and countless other things --that are used in Canada, and generally speaking are making these goods at least as well as they are being made anywhere else, The people of Canada know that most of these things are being made by the manufacturers of this country. They donot know yet whether the manufacturers of Canada are going to serve them still more by making many of the things that were for- merly imported from Continental Europe. The manufacturers of Canada should tell the people of Canada at this time more than ever, just what,they are making and the merits of their products. Let them drive home the facts throligh the great modern Message medium --advertising. Ler. them use the newspapers to inform the people that they "have the goods.- Let them explain that notwithstanding the war the people of Canada CAN have "the pie ---"home- 4'. made pie,- and all the better for being home-made. And after the war is over --if not before --perhaps our neighbors in Europe will be coming to Canada for some of this -pie---importing from Canada some of the things Canada now imports from them. ..........1145.3suSAIIIChNowwfirAziamt...,3.01==.21,051Cnolor "For God's Sake, Let Me Stay!" He pleaded with al the intensity his weakened body and soul could master. His voice trembled. Tears lurked in his drained, anxious eyes. "I have traveled for two days on the train," he said. "I have been turned out of mboarding house. I have beeti turned out of a hotel in my own town. The local hospital refused me admission. Nobody wants me. For God's sake, doctor, let me stay."

The powder is best applied with a can that has a perforated top. Hold the fowls up by the feet, head down, so the feathers will fall apart, and shake a liberal dose of the powder into the feathers. A good lice -powder which is recom- mended by the New Jersey Experi- mental Station, is made of ona part crude carbolic acid, thrt.e parts gasoline, and about four parts plaster of paris. Mix the plaster of paris and gasoline and then add carbolic acid. Spread out until dry. If the fowls are confined, boxes of fine dusc should be provided for them to roll in. This is the hen's own rem- edy for nee and it helps a lot. Of course, the dust boxes are not necessary when the hens can get out and find plenty of dust for themselves. But it shoulctbe gathered in the Fall and kept handy for the hens in the Winter. To get rid of lice and mites and stay rid of them the poultry houses must be kept clean. Take Out the roosts, nest boxes, dropping boards and other fix- tures and give the houses a thoroughly good whitewashing. Get it into the cracks for that's where the mites stay, when they are not on the hens, Paint the roosts, nest boxes and other fixtures with kerosene before putting them back. If crude carbolic acid is added. to the whitewash and kerosene it will be so much worse for the vermin. Use it at the rate of about a pint to five galloas of whitewash, and about the same amount to a galion of kerosene, if the honse has a wood floor scatter air -slacked lime over it and sweep it well into the cracks. Don't USei fresh lime, because the hens may pi& same of it up and it might kill them, This thorough oVerhauling of the hen houses should be repeated at intervals af a menth or so Until the vermin are destroyed. And it should be done three or four times a year anyhow, because lice and mites will get into ,a hen house if it is neglected. Swallows going in and out of the houses provide one source of "infection".

Good Health Is Impossible Without a Healthy Action Of The Kidneys When the kidneys begin to "act up" and fail to filter the blood through them, there passes into the system uric acid and other virulent poisons, which will cause some of the severest and most deadly diseases known to mankind. On the first evidence of the approach of kidney trouble Doan's Kidney Fills should be used, and serious trouble ainided. Mr. Israel Drost, Bath, N.B., writes: -"I am sending you this testi, rnonial telling you what a wonderful cure Doatt's Kidney Pills made for me. My kidneys were so bad I was helpless for about two months. I used several kinds of pills, but none of them seemed to be doing me any good, At last I was advised to try a box of Doan's Kidney Fills. When 1iad taken the first box I found relief, and then I got another, and by the time I had taken it, I was completely cured." Doan's Kidney Pills are so cents per box or 3 for 31.25, at all dealers or mailed direct on receipt of price by The T. Milburn Co., Limited, Toronto, Ont. When ordering direct specify "Doan's." -- Does Ventilation Ventilate, Does the pouring •of a current of fresh air into a room really purify the air therein? ' Dr. James Frederick Rogers, an American physician, maintains that it does not always do this. The St. John's River in Florida; is dark in color, but the Blue River empties into it, and can easily be •distinguished from the general stream for miles by its color. Gases, Dr. Rogers says, act in much. the same way, though of course they diffuse more rapidly, and a stream of pure air may flow through a room with- out immediately affecting the surround- ing stagnant air. In proof, he tells of his experience in a country schoolroom. The children were being taught that seven parts of carbon -dioxide per ten thousand was the limit of safety, and yet when three large windows were raised the full height of the sash and a strong breeze swept through the room with a force sufficient to carry some small papers from the tea'eher's desk, it was found, ten minutes after closing the windows, that the air in a corner of the room contained ten pates of car- bon -dioxide per ten thousand. Even outside, in the open, the air may not be pure. If one is in a sheltered place, he will breathe the same air over and over again. Better Do Without a Wife Than Get a Wife "On Time" This truth I'm spreading near and far, by means of locoed rhyme, you'd better do without a ear, than buy a car on time. Who are the folks who fume and fret, the while their bosoms bleed? They are the ones who go in debt for things they do not need. Their names would fill a catalogue in this debt -ridden clime; you'd better do without a dog, than buy a dog on time. How happy is the man who knows he does not owe a bone!' The grosser sort of griefs and woes are leaving him alone; the 'charge it', course he won't indorse, nor owe a man a dime; you'd better do without a horse than buy a horse on time. The man who always pays his way is honor- ed everywhere, and merchants want his trade and pray that they may have a share; collectors do not dog his heels, nor lawyers haunt his door; he pays for what he buys with wheels composed of silver ore. And such a man enjoys this life, and finds the world sublime; you'd better do without a wife than get a wife on time. Walt. Mason. "Everybody says we are engaged," said •Miss Antique. "What of that?
