REGULAR HABITS.
Too often does the girl who had na-
tural beauty in her yonth squander it
prodigally, keeping late hours„ over
exerting end eating irregularly food,
rich but not particularly nourishing.
Health and strength aro the props on
Which beauty depends for siapport, and
When inroads are constantly made on
these, it quickly fades, And to continue
in the possession a heaith and strength
no new laws are needed, but the old
rule of plenty of sleep, nourishing food
eaten regularly, and much exercise,
must be observed. The girl who at
seventeen or eighteen was the envy of
her plainer sisters frequently appears
faded andhaggard at twenty, when she
should be entering on her most attrac-
tive period, and in turn the girls who
were plain of face beside her a few
years before, are now surpassing her
in charm; for with her beauty usually
passes her once pleasing disposition.
It must be admitted that it is not al-
together their own doing that the plain
girls have grown continually more at-
tractive; they perhaps lacked the many
opportunities for dissipation offered the
prettier girl, and there was not so much
to come between them and good care of
their health; nevertheless, they are de-
cidedly the gainers, through their
earlier loss of temporary good times. -

An Englishman has patented, a grass
' trimmer that resembles horse clippers
and is operated by both hands.
Quilts and Cushions.
Most of us, says Rural new Yorker,
have seen some of the elaborate old-
time patch work quilts which had cut-
out patterns in colored calico applied
on a white foundation. This style of
work is now quite fashionable, not only
for quilts, but also for cushions, table
covers, curtaina, etc. The designs eut
out the raw edges turned under, are
felled with tiny stitches to the founda-
tion. Some put the work in an em-
broidery hoop, which enables one to
hold it in position better, but this is not
really necessary. Each separate piece
of the design is cut out carefully. A
cardboard. pattern may be laid on the
fabric, and then the outline marked in
pencil; it should be cut a little larger,
SO as to give turning. Solid colored
chambray is often used for the colored
design. One elaborate piece of this
applied patchwork was a pair of port-
iere of unbleached crash with a design
of tall hollyhocks across the bottom
toe flowers and buds being varying
shades from pale pink to deep red. A
wreath of ivy in different shades of
green decorated a cushion, while anoth-
er pretty design was a wreath of morn-
ing-glories, pink, blue and lavender.
The materials for this work are very
inexpensive, and yet it offers great pos.,
sibilities if the work is neat and the
maker displays good taste.
A Maine town has built a conerete
watering trough for horses that is
flanked by high walls to shield animals
using it from sun, wind and storm.

FOR FLETCHER'S
CASTORIA
CANADA'S CROP YIELD,
A. bulletin issued by t..e census and
statistics office today gives the usual
prelimary estimate of the yield of the
principal cereal crops in Canada, ac-
cording to reports of correspondents
made at the end of August. Continued
drought, espeeially in the Northwest
Provinces, has seriously affected the
yield per acre, which is lower than that
of any year since the seasen a 1912,
and lower than the average of the six
years ended 1913.
Upon the harvested area of wheat in
Canada of 10,203,000 acres, including
fall wheat, the aggregate yield is esti-
mated at 159,660,000 bushels as com-
pared with last year's excellent outturn
of 231,717,000 bushels and with 204,712,-
000 bushels, the annual average for the
four years 1910 to 1013. Of oats, the
estimate is for 327,732,000 bushels
against 404,669,000 bushels, last year,
and 351,246,00 bushels the four-year
average. Barley is estimated to yield
37,014,000 bushels, compared with 49,
319,000 bushels in 1913, and 42,745,000
bushels the annual average; rye, 2,019-
000 bushels against 2,300,000 bushels
and 2,189,000 bushels; and flax seed, 9,-
052,000 bushels com pared with 17,539,-
000 bushels last year and 14,497,000
bushels the annual average for the
years 1910 to 1913.

the advice given.
Early weaning and good care of the

enables the ewes to go into winter

The various dairy cattle' associa-
tions are paying more attention to
record work. The latest and one of
the greatest strides that has been
made in progress of this kind has
been made by the Brown Swiss
breed. People have not paid much
attention to these cattle from the
dairy standpoint, but the men who
have been breeding them have been
striving to do the best that they
could In their own herds. The
yearly records which these cows
have made are really creditable.
The Brown Swiss heifer pictured
made a record with first calf of
9,000 pounds of milk containing 3210
Pounds of butter fat in ten months.
acquainted with this man, that he was
one of the poorest feeders and care
takers of stock in his community.
At the time we felt that the pur-
chase of these cows would prove to
him unsatisfactory unless he had seen
a new light in the matter of caring No
and feeding stock. We are inclined to
the belief that common cows have a
natural capacity to Make the best of
their surroundings and feed supply.
Such were the COWS formerly kept by
this man.
When his pure bred cows were plac-
ed on the same basis as were his com-
mon cows they failed to respond to
the anticipated extent and proved, ac-
cording to his statement, not much
better producers than his common
cows. Re failed to realize that •the
cows he bought end tor centuries been
developed under a condition which pro.
vided not oily good care, but also an
ample supply of good milk making
feed. He failed to 'understand that
the cows he bought were highly devel-
oped animals capable of uslug large
quantities of feed and converting that
feed into milk and because they could
not convert such feed as they were able
to get at his hands into a liberal milk
flow he NVI1S naturally disappointed.
The pure bred cow, the cow which is
likely to yield the most profit from the
feed consumed, needs a feeder and a
caretaker who also has had some ex-
perience along dairy lines.
NURSING THE CALF. -
Poor Practice to Let Youngsters Suck
Dairy Cows.
As a rule, it is not a good practice
to permit calves to nurse. It is quite
common to let calves worse two or
three times and then separate them
from their mothers and feed whole
milk three to four weeks and then
gradually change to skitnrailk, says
Hoard's Dairyman. It is too expen-
sive to feed calveon whole milk, and,
further, skin -milk will develop a calf
so that at the end of a year it will
look and be fully as good as an animal
raised on whole milk.
The main objection to calves sucking
dairy cows is that they do not take
all of the milk, therefore have a tend-
ency to dry up the cow. If a suffi-
cient number of calves were put upon
a cow to take all of the milk that she
produce; and at stated intervals, the
same as milking is done, the cow
'would not be injured by the nursing.
Choosing the Dairy Sire.
Tbe‘selection of the herd bull is of
the greatest importance because be is
at least balf the herd from the breed-
ing standpoint. His influence on the
charaeteristics of every calf born in
the herd is as great as that of the
dam of the calf, and if he is a pure
bred /Mime] used on grade cows his
influence will he more than half be-
cause his transmitting pewers in breed
characteristics will be stronger. No
bull whose dam and paternal grrinciclam
were not capable of paoducing SOO
pounds of butter fat in 365 days should
be need for breeding purposes.

By Taking. "Fruit-a-tives"
Says Capt. Swan
Life is veryaniserable to those who
suffer with Indigestion, Dyspepsia,
Sour Storaach and Biliousness. This
letter from Captain Swan (one of the
best known skippers on the Great
Lakes) tells how to get quick relief
from Stomach Trouble.
PORT Bi/S.Wlitar, Qr., May 8th, xgra.
"A man has a poor chance of living
and enjoying life when he cannot eat.
That was what was wrong with me.
Loss of appetite and indigestion was
brought on by Constipation. I have
had trouble with these diseases for
years. I lost a great deal of flesh
and suffered constantly. For the last
couple of years, I have taken "rrnit-
a-tives" and have been so pleased with
the results that I have recommended
them on many occasions to friends and
acquaintances. I am sure that "Breit-
a-twes" have helped me greatly. By
following the diet rules and taking
"Fruit -a -fives" accordingto directions,
any person with Dyspepsia will get
benefit".

THE SCOTS AT ST QUENTIN.
[Toronto Starl
When the Scots Greys and the Black
Watch charged together into the Ger-
man ranks -one Scot on horseback and
another running with a grip on the stir-
rup leather -the enemy broke and fled
and suffered terribly.
The Germans were wholly unprepar-
ed for such a charge. There is nothing
in the drill books of Frederick the
Great or in the instructions left by Von
Moltke telling them what to do against
so extraordinary an onslaught.,
TWO kinds of courage were needed by
the men of the Black Watch to make
such a charge a success. Not only dig
they need that courage which all sol-
diers must possess when they rush into
the guns and bayonets of the enemy.
bat they required another kind of cour-
age as well when they rushed into the
fight each man between two horses,
takiag every risk of being crushed, kick-
ed, trampled.
But when the charge was fully de-
livered, the weight of the horses carried
the men fairly into the midst of the
enemy, and for each horse there were
two men -a mounted man with a lance
Iand sabre, a man on foot with bullet
'ails bayonet.
Only two such bodies as the Scots
Greys and the Black Watch could unite
in such a valorous, mad, irregular onset
as that, and done as they would do it,
who could stand up againt it?

During nearly 300 years subsequent
to the conquest by Cortes, Spain domi-
nated Mexico. A century ago a bold
effort for freedom was started, which
eventually resulted in the republic of
Mexico of today. More than halt of
the first century of Mexican independ.
ence Was abortive, one coterie after
another coming into temporary power
and a number of those acclaimed rul-
ers after brief regimes meeting igno-
minious death at the hands of the peo-
ple they sought to govern.
The form of government adopted by
Mexico follows in general that of the
United States, having executive, judi-
cial and legislative divisions. Each of
tlie twenty-seven states is represented
in two houses of congress, composed of
senators and deputies. Congress holds
two sessions each year for limited pe-
riods. Each state has its governor and
iegislature and is subdivided into dis-
tricts or counties, over each of which a
jefe politico is placed, the districts
having subsidiary municipalities with
magistrates, presiding officials and
councils. The so called autocratic fea.
ture of the government may be largely
due to the fact that governors hold of-
fice with approval of the president,
that jefe politicos have similar rein -
tions with the governors and that the
officers of the municipalities are gener-
ally controlled by the jefe politicos.
The church and state are independ-
ent and congress cannot pass laws
prohibiting or establishing any reli-
gion. Of the 16,000,000 inhabitants
two-fifths claim direct descent from
ancient tribes or families which are
accepted as the basis of Mexican his-
tory, two-fifths are of mixed native
and foreign blood, the remainder being
classed under the common appellation
of "foreign."
