A Word of Gratitude, "In justice to humanity I want to tell you that I was a great sufferer -ileo from itching piles, and have found Dr. ./ 'Chase's Ointment the best treatment obtainable," writes Mr. Fred Hinz, Brodhagen, Ont.

More than fame and more than money is the comlnent kind and sunny And the hearty warm approval of a friend, For it gives to life a savor, and it makee you stronger, braver, And it gives you heart and spirit to the end ; If he earns your praise -bestow it.; if ' you like him, let him know it Let the words of true encouragement be said; Do not wait till life is over and he's underneath the clover, For be cannot read his tombstone when he's dead! e Rubbing with turpentine will restore the color to ivory knife handles that have tuined The Icavironho chiefs of Kisumu dis- trict have presented to the government some 3,000 goats for the British troops.

It does not pay to pick up fowls off the Vange and sell them, Put them In Marketable condition by liberal feeding in the "fattening pen beforo you let them go. Poultry know the voice of their mas- ter or mistress. It may be one of our fool notions, but we imagine that fowls do better when they are eared for by the same attendant. More farmers should get into the habit to keeping a few geese. There's money in them, taking into account the value of the feathers. Sunflowers are one feed that can be fed fresh from the geld and seem to have an excellent effect on molting hens, Bad housing does not pay the right kind of dividends. Those who have learned the poultry business through a long apprenticeship never breed from hens undersized or from very late hatched pullets. $1.90 1.35 Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTOR1A QUIET THOUGHTS. if it rains, well; if it shines, well. "Don't rest on your laurels; they're fine on your forehead, but make a mighty poor mattress." The head of the house is the husbard and the wife, for two halves make a whole. If every farmer would talk things over with his wife before he made any important venture, the lawyers would have less to do. While the pessimist cries out at the divorce evil, the optimist can still count millions of happy Ii1rines on the farm. Small kindnesses, small courtesies, small considerations, habitually prac- tised in our social intercourse, give a greater charm to the character than the display of great talents and accom- plishments. -M.

Tbe vital feature of bills of exchange -or drafts, as they are generally called -promissory notes -and bank checks is their negotiability -that is to say, they at.e a special class of contracts which are so framed and so favored by the law that if certain rules are adhered to they can be passed from man to man quite as freely and flir more conven- iently than artual rash. An ot•dillflry con tract may be assign- ed or transferred from one to another. Thus if I have agreed to furnish a large factory with knitting 'machines I may assign my right to be paid for doing so to Bogardus for a valuable cousideration. Suppose, though, that I misrepresented some important feature or tny knitting machines to the Sue- ! cess Textile company, which ordered them. and after 1 have transferred my rights in the contract to Bogardus they tind it out. Under such circumstances the textile company can employ the de- • 'tense of misrepresentation against Bo- gardus just as readily as they could against me, for he has simply stepped 'into my shoes and is in no better post - tion than I would be bad I remained a party to the contract. • Ledger.

I believe that the general purpose horse is the most satisfactory grade of horse for general use on the farm. For this reason I raise Percherons and have found them a very good all around horse, writes an Iowa farmer. I begin to break my colts when they are three years old or a little more, always putting them alongside of a steady horse. I give my work horses hay and oats with a little corn and let brood mares and colts run outside all day even during the coldest vreather in winter. When the colts are six months old I wean them, giving them a ration of hay and oats. In raising horses 1 have found that the most profitable returns are re- ceived from only the best grades of colts and aim to raise nothing but good horses.
