The former advantage is that the labor resulting in the care of the flock. especially during the winter, Is reduced to a minimum. In general the expense of housing is less than where fowls are kept in small flocks. It has the disadvantage of in- creasing the amount of yard cure on account of the limited yard space. The extensive or colony house sys- tem necessitates more labor in the care of the flocks during stormy weather when the birds are confined.,it has the advantage, however, or ulimited yard space, and yard fencing' can be quite largely eliminated.

In some localities worthless land has been brought to a high state of fertil- ity by this practice. Hint to Buttermakers. Overworking of butter Injures the grain, yet there is less danger ot over- working than underworking. Do not be afraid to work the butter properly. Take plenty of time and allow the salt to dissolve. Butter that Is worked at intervals of one-half boar for four or five hours will be the butter free from mottles. HOGS ARE PROFITABLE. Hogs give quick and cheap returns, and they should form a much greater proportion of our meat supply. Bog raising is one of the branches ,of meat production which have held their own and have shown an Increase, but It should receive much more atten- tion than it does at the present time. flogs are economical producers, rank- ing next to the dairy cow and exceed- ing both sheep and steers.

Just this : That you, as rerwen.ting the average Canadian citizen, can square off your account with our army of factory workers, by making sure that at least 55 cents worth of the things you .buy, in your ordinary r y everyday shopp�n,g,'arennade right here in Canada ---the country that gives you your own living. That sum, 55 cents a day, equals $200 per year. There are 8,000,000 people in Can- ada. If for the support of every one of them, there was spent $200 a year on Canadian made goods it would give us a factory output of $1,600,000,000. Back in 1910-11, Canada was enjoying pretty good times, but the total factory output then was less than $1,200,000,000.

OUR FEET. That Is Why So Few Persons Have Perfect Pedal Extremities. A person with normal feet Is very difficult to find. In fact, the doctors inform us that foot trouble is. endemic in the United States, as well as In every enlightened country on the globe. The cause of this condition and the vast suffering which it entails is the unhygienic shoe. thousand Porte Ricans whose feet had never been shod were examined. Not a single diseased or deformed foot was found among them, A San Fran- cisco surgeon, in commenting on this fact, declares that among a thousand shoe wearing Americans there is hard- ly one with normal feet. The trouble is that the vast majority of our shoes are improperly construct- ed. The fashionable shoe seems built to force the foot into shapes which, however slightly, are nevertheless ale normal. That worn by the masses is equally Inimical to foot health, for the reason that it is constructed with very little reference to the lines of the foot and without effort to adjust It to the normal movements of that member. The medical man presents the moc- casin as the most wholesome foot cov- ering yet devised, but very few are sanguine enough to hope that fashion will permit Its general use. Next to the moccasin, so we are told, is the shoo that not only permits the foot to perform its normal functions unimped- ed, but strengthens It when in use. This is the shoe that, Instead of pinch. lug the toot or forcing it Into abnormal Shapes or positions, actually fits iteei Boston Herald.

Avoid all sweets, sugar, pastry and hot cakes, for two or three months, and indulge freely in fruit and vege- table diet, and you will be amply repaid by your complexion being clear, eyes bright, cheeks rosy and lips red, besides being the possessor of youthful energy and good health. Commonsense in eating and drinking, together with plenty of fresh air, sleep- ing in a room well ventilated, a warm bath takers two or three times weekly, and a good brisk walk daily, will enable nature to do her work properly, and you will be glad to bear this in mind; for good health means happiness, and a happy, healthy woman is a pleasing sight for all to behold, No woman cab have bright eyes, a beautiful skin or an elastic step if she does not supply her lungs with oxygen. She can do this by deep breathing. The indolent woman regains her lost energy when she learns how to breathe correctly. The sallow girl, with the dark circles under her eyes, discovers that with correct breathing the congested veirs yield to the stimulated circulation, the dark rings disappear, and the lustre reappears in the eyes.

General Marion was a native of South Carolina. and the theater of his military exploits was the coast region of that state. Be was slender and not very tall, and tie rode when in service an extremely swift footed and power- ful horse. When in fair pursuit noth- ing could escape and when in flight nothing could overtake him. Once he was almost surrounded by a party of British dragoons and had to take ref- ugein a cornfield. The field, which lay several feet lower than the adjoining land, had formerly been part of the marsh. General Marion entered it at the upper side; the dragoons who were in chase of him leaped the fence also, and were only a short distance behind him. His only possible way of escape was to leap the fence at the lower side. To drain the field of its superfluous water a trench had been cut round that part of the field four feet wide and four feet deep. The mud and clay, removed in cutting the ditch made a bank on its inner side, and pn the top of the bank was a fence. In all, the top of the fence was nearly eight feet above the level of the field, and the ditch, four feet wide, ran parallel with it on the farther side. The dragoons knew the nature of this obstacle, and believed that it was impossible for their enemy to pass it. Accordingly. they pushed forward with loud shouts of exultation, calling out to him to sur- render or perish by the sword. Marion, however, spurred his horse to the charge. The noble animal, as if conscious that his master's life was in danger, approached the barrier in his finest style and, with a bound that was almost supernatural, cleared the fence and ditch completely and recovered himself without loss of time on the other side. Marion instantly wheeled about, discharged his pistol at the as- tonished dragoons and then. turning his horse and bidding them good morn- ing, departed. If the height of the leap is authentic it must be the most remarkable per- formance ever made by n horse under saddle, for it is almost exactly the equal of the highest jump on record, made by the famous Iieatberbloom, and that, of course, was made from the level and carefully prepared take off of a race track, which is a very different matter from the loose and heavy soil of a cornfield. The story may have grown a little iii the mouths of General Marion's adpilring men, but the in- cident was clearly enough one of the most remarkably narroi' escapes ever made by that daring and resourceful soldier, who was famous for his clever- ness in wriggling again and again out of the clutches of the enemy.—Youth's Companion. NERVES WERE NAD Hands Would Tremble So She Could Not Hold Paper to Read. When the nerves become shaki the whole system seems to become unstrung and a general feeling of collapse occurs, as the heart works in sympathy with the nerves. Mrs. Wm, Weaver, Shallow Lake, Onto, writes: "X doctored for a year, for my heart and nerves, with three different doctors, but they did not seem to knot. what was the matter with me. nerves got so had at last that I coup not hold a paper in my hands to read, the way they trembled, X gave up doctoring thinking X could not get better.

UNSOLVED MYSTERIES, Such as Radium, the Human Brain and the Lcleotric Fluid. Alexander Graham Bell was once• asked if lie understood precisely how a telephone conveyed the sound of a liu- than voice. His answer was: "No. I only know what is done. I do not know how it is accomplished," One Is eetulnded of Lord Kelvin's re•• mark to ,some of ills professional col- leagues near the close of his brilliant' career. It will be recalled that Bell gave to Kelvin the instruments used in the first demonstration at telephony at the I'lliladeipltia Centennial in 1870. It was many years later that Kelvin said that he knew no more as to the nature of electricity than he knew when he first began to work with it. From Franklin to Edison master minds among us have done wonderful things with cells and dynamos, gener- ators anti • transformers, directing the interplay of dreadful elemental forces as inscrutable as they are majestic. And still we do not know what elec. tricity is.

A congregation of sapient alienists at a trial gives expert testimony, but no man among them knows what his own brain is nor how it gives instan- taneous directions to the foot and the hand.

How Canada Got Its Name. The origin of the name Canada is strange enough. The Spaniards visited that country previous to the French and made particular search for gold and silver, and, finding none, they oa- ten said among themselves, "Aca nada," meaning "There is nothing here." The Indians, who watched closely, learned this sentence and its meaning. Later • on the French arrived, anti the Indians, who wanted none of their company and supposed they had come on the same errand as the Sp' nigh, were desirous to inform them in the Spanish sen- tence "Acs nada." The French, who, knew as little of the Spanish language as they, supposed that the incessantly, recurring sound was the name of the. country and ultimately christened it Canada, which it has borne ever since.
