As The Result Of a Neglected Cold He Contracted SEVERE BRONCHIAL TROUBLE. Mr. W. '1'. Alien, Halifax, N.S., writes: "/ feel that 1 would be doing yotj and your great remedy, Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup, a gross injustice if X did pot write and let you know the wonderful results that I have obtained from its use. "Last spring I happened to contract a cold. Of course, this is a common oce curence, and I did not take any particu- lar notice of it at the time. However, it did not break up as quickly as colds generally did with me, so after two weeks, and no sign of improvement, I began to get alarmed, and went to my local physician who informed me that 1 bad contracted severe bronchial trouble as a result of neglecting my cold, He pre- scribed some medicine for me, whicA ;took for about two weeks without any sign of improvement. I was getting pretty much discouraged by then, but one day a friend happened to be in to whom I was relating my trouble, and he advised me to try Dr. Wood's Norway' Pine Syrup, saying that he had obtained very beneficial results from its use in a similar case. I took his advice and procured several bottles from my drug- gist. After taking it, according to &re> tions, for about two days, I noticed a decided improvement, and from that day on 1 began to get better, and in ten days I was in my usual health. I con- sider this an excellent showing for your remedy, and can highly recommend it to anyone afflicted as I was. I shall always put in a good word for it whenever the opportunity offers itself."

These latter succumb amid the advancing wave of civilization and seldom leave any children. Those who- have passed Inland. if they do not increase, have certainly not decreased.

But on the return to Callender the mot- toes were indecipherable through the backs of the banners. Some oue sug- gested that witb a little extra expendi- ture "Welcome, Victoria." might have been inscribed ou both sides. "There's nee need ce that," said old James Buchan of Kilmanog.

Mr. Abram Buhr, Herbert, Sask., writes: -"I want to say that I was troubled with eczema and piles and suffered greatly from the itching, burning sensations caused by these annoying ailments. I sent for a free sample of D. Chase's Ointment, and this did ma so much good that bought three blokes more, and after using same was cured of both eczema and piles." This is the kind of letters we receive daily from people who have been cured of these distressing skin diseases by the use of Dr, Chase's Ointment. No matter how skeptical you might be, you could not read these letters for many days without eoncluding that Dr. Chase's Ointment is un- doubtedly the most prompt relief and certain cure for these ailments, If you have doubts send for it free sample box and be convneed, It was bY use of a. free sample that Mr. )3uhr was convinced of the merits of this treatment.

(By Peter McArthur.) There is an old saying that, "Ween doctors disagree who shall decide?" and I propose to add to it a now one, "When all doctors agree who shall pre- sume to debt?" Tee only thing that I can think of at the- rresent moment, except fees, that d +eters are in entire agreement at oat, is the use of apples. Listen to what Dr. Wood3 Hutehieon says: "Head and shoulders above ell the other fruit stands that delight of our childhood days -the apple. Well ripen- ed or properly cooked they are readily digested by the average stomach, They contain a fair atnount'of acid and from five to seven per cent. of sugar. Their general wholesomeness and perman- ent usefulness may be gathered from the fact that they are one of the few fruits which yeu can eat alMost daily the year round, or at very fre- quent intervals without getting , tired of them. Food that you don't get tired of is usually mod that is good for you." That's fairly emphatic, and before I forget it I want to quote another old saying that is packed full of wisdom: "An apple a day ' Keeps the doctor away." As a barrel of apples contains from three to four hundreil apples you can see that one barrel would protect you for a whole year. One barrel seldom costs more than one visit from a doctor and it leaves a better taste in your mouth.. But Dr. Woods Hutceinson is not the only doctor who has praised the medicinal value of the apple. Here is what Dr. J. J. Black says: "Fruits have long been a part of the diet of the older races, and of the semi - civilized and savage tribes. As a rule, with fruit, we take much bulk that is not nutritious and this very bulk is use- ful because it prevents us eating ttio much of the stronger articles of diet. Given apples as the first course at breakfast we will not be so apt to overload our stomachs with buckwheat cakes and sausages, and the fruit taken will In many ways help us to get corn_ fortably rid of the greater burden -the sugars and adds of the fruit being fac- tors here. The aroma of the apple is pleasing to the senses and thus aids se- cretion in various forms, especially of thedigestive juices. During the meal we crave condiments or something to dater to our taste and bring out a proper secretion of the digestive juices and ferments and to accomplish this we eat roast apples with our goose, ind apple sauce with our roast pork." Seeing that we have the high author- ity of eminent physicians for the use of apples and that we are fond of them ourselves and that they are a valuable part of the diet there is no reason why we should not have apples in some form NS a part of onr ration every day of the year. And seeing that Canadian apples are the best in the morld we shOtild al- ways ask for thetn. Now, 1 think 1 shalt go and eat an apple. ise••••••••••09coodeieesioilse • AROUND THE DAIRY, o • e • The cow is the unit a the dairy industry.

M. Avery writes in the Holsteiri-Friesiau Register. Our bulls are kept in the main calf barn, and , every morning that the weather will possibly pernait, while the regular %volt is in progress, they take turns exercising upon an eadless belt tread power provided solely for the purpose. Possibly 'the power thus generated might 01.1 many farms be used to some advantage -we are content to merely keep our bulls in tiptop breeding con- , dltion by its daily use. The power is equipped with a gover- nor which controls the speed and a brake for use in case of emergency and when starting and stopping. Each service bull is given not less than an hour's continuous exercise every day at a pace approximating three miles per hour. In the regular breeding season, , commencing with us Dec. 15, tbe peri- oa is shortened somewhat, and when the bulls are not in use -namely, from about Aug. 15 until Dec. 15-=4t. is lengthened as much as possible. During extremely hot weather the exercise time is divided -half in the morning before the sun becomes too hot and the balance late in the after - mien. We never leave a bull entirely ' to himself without any one near at haucl. as it is hardly safe, especially in the case of a mature,animal, but while The use of pure bred sires in dairy herds has come to be such a universal practice that large 'grade herds of almost any of the dairy breeds are to be found. Such herds quickly take on the charac- teristics of the breed of the sire. This is especially true of Guern- seys, the prepotency of the blood showing very plainly in the char- acteristics of all the stock, so that even in the first generation we have a herd which very closely ap- proaches in characteristics the pure bred tyre. The bull shown is a pure bred GuernseY. there is always somebody within sight the regular work is uot interfered with in the least, as the bull requires no at- tention or supervision. In connection with this system of' ex- ercise we feed the bulls a regular breeding ration, consisting of alfalfa hay, almost exclusively for roughage, with very little ensilage, and this fod- der is supplemented by a grain mix- ture made up largely of crusbed oats with bran and including small propor- tions of wheat middlings and oil meal. The amount fed is varied according to the general condition of the sentinel, being considerably increased during seasons of frequent service and reduc- ed to a minimum (luring the "vaca- tion" period extending through the fall. COST OF A HEIFER. A Convincing Argument In Favor of Pure Bred Cattle. It has been fignred that the average net cost of raising a yearling dairy heifer on a Wisconsin farm is $39.52, says Rural New Yorker. A two-year- old heifer costs $01.41. These figures are probably fair, as they represent the average of 117 calves. Probably these figures will apply to most other dairy districts in the north and east It costs about as much to raise a scrub belfer as one that contains it good share oe pure blood. A. scrub heifer would rare- ly sell for more than $40, a clear loss o1'20 or more. In fact, a heifer has to be good enough to bring $60 when two years of age in order to give an even return for what she has cost. But there is no business that could prosper in producing a thing for just about what it cost, and if you produce a heifer at all and pay out $60 in labor and feed you ought to produee a good ohe rather than a smile. Salting the Butter. In some Ontario experiments it 'was found that salt added to butter In mi wet condition was better distributed and More In ablution than were the dry salt lOts. The average percentage of nuellature retained ih the finished butter was praCtiOilly the same with both saltine. - Kid Gloves. The majority of the fine kid gloves used in this country are Imported from France. The superiority of French kid gloves over all others, according to an importer, is due above all to the per- fection of the skins, tbe kids being reared in villages by poor peasants who own only a few goats and there- fore take great care of them. Another reason is that in France one workman takes the prepared skin and manipulates it himself right up to the finished glove. In Germany, on the contrary, division of labor is extensive and great factories turn out in two or three hours wbat requires two days' labor on the part of the French work- man. The best kid gloves still come from France, but the factories of Stuttgart are a formidable rival. -New York World. Woolwich Arsenal. Woolwich arsenal owed its establish- ment to an explosion which took place at a foundry in Moorfields. Until 1716 the government obtained its ordnance from private manufacturers, but in that year the explosion decided it to build a foundry of' its own, and Wool- wich, already famous as a naval sta- tion. was chosen as the site. Woolwich was only a small fishing village until the sixteenth century, when Henry VIII. laid the foundations of its pros- perity by making it the royal dockyard. -London Chronicle. Bows in Warfare. The bow is arst seen 'depicted on Egyptian monuments about 2000 B. C. Its form then did nat differ greatly from that in use among boys at the present day. It was used in European warfare as late as 1040 and was deem- ed quite as, effective as the arquebus then employed. White Crowned Sparrows. Caterpillars, beetles, ants, wasps, bugs and black olive scales make up only a small amount of tbe food of the white crowned sparrow. Like most of its family, it is a seed eater by prefer- ence, and weed seeds comprise about 75 per cent of its total foods. _ Children Ory FOR FLETCHER'S CAST° A WHEN BUYI , I N SI ST ON HAVIN THIS PACKAGE DECLINE SU BST ITUTES DALLES OF THE ST.

Croix form a most interesting feature. The $t Croix river here tumbles over a bed of trap rock, The theory of ite production is that a great outburst of lava was overwhelmed by a glacier., This very hard rock has been weatl.. ered into a great many quaint and cee dons shapes, and the vertical cliffs oil from one to three ktindred feet in height forte a little canyon where the', water is very deep.

On thei Wisconsin side of the river is a re- markable profile rock. It is known as "the Old Mau of the Dalles" and has a resemblance .to tee profile of George Washington. Minnesota and Wiscon- sin have set aside the land bordering the Aver as an international park. Among tee interesting features of the place are tee cistern -like holes, known geologically as potholes. These range from .)De and one-half feet iu diameter and six feet in depth to ten feet in (Linage'. and ninety or a hundred feet deep. These potholes in- dicate the presence of former rapidS, high above the present surface of the water. The stream by its great ere& lug power and cnrrying pebbles and stones in its circular movement slowly excavated these potholes. -Exchange. Working Butter, Butter is worked enough when the salt is evenly distributed. Just when this point' bus been reached cannot always be told trona the appearance of the butter immediately after work: - trig. But butter that bas not been sufficiently worked will show white streaks or mottles after fire or six hours. Whenever such streaks occur the butter must be reworked until alt the streaks have been removed. To avoid mottled or streaky butter the only safe rule to follow Is to work tne ; butter twice. The first time it is worked lightly. just enough to, fairly, distribute the salt. It is then allowed to stand six hours or longer, when. white streaks will be noticeable. The butter is then worked again until the color is uniform. -Chicago News. Knew Her Style.
