Oh, this is the time when the man with the hoe gets out in the garden where gooseberries grow; he weeds out the spuds and he thins out the stalks, and no one would say he was kin to the ox. • You see him exulting, you hear him exclaim, "Maria,•come look at this cucumber frame! The dingbusted beans lit‘and the marrowfat peas are growing and thriving as fine as you please! Come hither, Maria, and squint at the corn -the way it's been climbing sihce yesterday morn! And look at the onions, a' -flourishing there -they'll take the blue gibbon this year at the fair!" And then, if you watch, you will see the man go, this downtrodden mortal, the man with the hoe, to call on his neighbors and brag of his greens, his cabbage and spinach and Safety First beans. The man with the hoe, in the lands o'er the brine, may look like an ox or a sample . • of swine, as he drudges along in the heat of the day, for a crust and a drink and some counterfeit pay; but here in this land of the brave and the free, he bubbles with mirth and he chortles with glee; he whoops and he laughs, where the peasant repines, and bores us with tales of his succotash vines. A Wonder Worker. "It heals like magic," is a favorite expression when Dr. Chase's Ointment is used. It works quickly, stops all itching at once, often heals in a single night. For eczema, salt rheum, bar- bers' itch. skin irritations or eruptions, it is a most satisfactory treatment. Being antiseptic, it prevents • blood poisoning.

I used to pull the tangled knots - 0, memory of shame! I called aloud for water pots, To quench the ruddy flame.

In speaking of the bill by which the tariff was raised Mr. Rogers talked of it as a bill to raise thirty milto dollars for the war. 'In one place he specifical- ly stated that the Opposition had "de- clared by their voice and by their vote want of confidence in our proposals for the providing of the necessary means, that up to the present had been estimated as necessary for the carrying on of our part in' this great conflict." Mr. Rogers, of course, knows this to be an untruth, but the party of priviledge have only to give the cue to their papers to get them to persuade the whole country that an untruth is fact by a continual reiteration of it as fact. Just let them keep ori saying day after day that the increase in the Canadian tariff made during the last session of Parlia- ment was for the purpose of raising funds for eslrrying on the war and the people will believe it, even though Mr. White himself in rising to introduce the tariff categorically stated that it was not for that purpose, but to meet the ordinary revenue of the country, and though the real purpose of a good deal of it is to increase protection. 1'he hundred million dollars which the Gov- ernment proposed to borrow, Mr. White stated to be for war. The ad- ditional taxes, such as the tariff and the war stamp, were merely to bring the ordinary revenue of Canada up to the new standaid of lavish expenditure, which the Government from its acces- sion, had gloried in, and were made necessary by the falling off of the im- ports and consequent decrease in cus- toms. -Montreal Witness FAT AND EGGS Occasionally hens get too fat to lay, but most -hens are too lean, Very rarely do you see a lean hen begip lay- ing -some hens lay themselves lean. A very fat hen generally means a poor layer and commonly the sooner she is killed the more money is saved. The attendant (or person caring for the flock) has much to do with its suc- cess. You may have the best breeding and feeding, but the lack of attention in regularity of feeding, watering, cleaning houses, etc., means poor re- turns. Dirty drinking vessels and dirty drink kill a large number of hens. Filthy houses and a good crop of hen lice eat up the profits. The attendant should cultivate a friendship for the flock. Do not slam doors and kick pails, to say nothing to the hens, and expect good results. In conclusion, a limited number. of poultry will•pay the vegetable grower in supplying his table with meat and eggs, in disposing of unsaleable vegetables; in destroyed insects and supplying manure for some of his crops. Large numbers might not be profit- able. Commercially. in my judgment, there are but three breeds of chickens in existence. There ars 180 breeds of chickens, and any one of them will do well under particularly favorable con- ditions, but when you get down to where everything counts, such as the breed, the eggs they lay and the price, Fwould select Plymouth Rocks, Rhode Island Reds, and White Leghorns. If I wanted a gener!lpurposes chicken it would be Plymouth Rocks. If I wanted to raise 2,000 or 5,000 chickens there is just one breed of chicken you can do it with, and that is White Leg - horns. Deafness Gannot be Gured. by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness.is caused by an inflamed con- ditiop of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbing sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be tak- en out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be des- troyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition,of the mucous surfaces.

There is no method which will cer- tainly prevent milk fever where large Producing. rich testing cows freshen in a plethoric condition, writes H. G. Van Pelt in Kimball's Dairy Farmer. The most advisable precautions to take are ss follows: Just before the cow freshens drench her with one pound of epsom salts dissolved In a quart of water. This must be care- fully done that the process does not strangle the cow. As a further pre- caution do not milk her for the first tarty -eight hours after freshening: especially it the cow has been at>iicted previously. it It becomes necessary to relieve the udder pressure take away a small amount of milk from each quarter. Por a week prior to freshening feed the cow very lightly. Give her succu- lent food. such as silage or roots, and give her access to bay. The remain- der of her ration should consist of mashes only.' Twice daily she should be given a feed of two or three pounds of bran and one pound of linseed meal together with a small handful of salt mixed with lukewarm water to a slop- py consistency. After freshening give The Guernsey breed not only has the greateat butter tat producing cow In the world, based on a year- ly official record basis, but the general trend of the records of all cows running tor the Advanced Register continues upward. On the last list of twenty-five cows to tin- ish a yearly record there appear ten cows whose records show a butter fat production of over 500 pounds. The bull shown is a pure bred Guernsey. her a pail of water occasionally with a pound or two of bran with a handful or oil meal stirred in it or left floating un top of the water. It is also well to give the cow exer- cise before freshening. One of the chief preventives of milk fever is to have the bowels loose. Even with these precautions it is best to watch the cow very closely for the first forty-eight hours after freshen- ing. and when first signs of milk fever appear have the air treatment applied at onee. This prevents the danger of a serious attack, in which instance the flow of milk for the milking period will not, be decreased. Serious attacks of milk fever do have a tendency to decrease the milk flow .immediately and throughout the period Ifollowtng. The milk flow, however, is not apparently affected as is the per- centage of fat. There is little doubt that following a serious attack of milk lever cows test very much lower than when they come into their milk with- out this -handicap. VALUE OF COW TESTING. How an Iowa Farmer Made His Dairy Herd Profitable. Our cow milking farmers can learn a lesson from Peder Pedersen of Black Hawk county, la.. says the Kansas Farmer. £Ie joined the Benson Cow Testing . association in 1911. discover- ed cows in his herd which were not paying for their board and • weeded them ont and in three years increased the profits of his herd three times. • During the first year Pedersen dis- covered that his herd averaged 5,665 pounds of milk, or 207.7 pounds of but- ter fat, while the net profit per ani- mal over cost of feed was only $22.12. The best cow made an income of $54.22, meaning that the poorest prob. ably lost money. In the second year, 1912, the aver- age net income increased to $53.96. That gain was accomplished by weed- ing out 40 per cent of the old cows and putting new cows, bred from a pare bred sire. Into their places and by the purchase of a cow and a heifer. In 1913 the average milk production went up to 9,697.5 pounds and the but- ter fat average to 841.9 pounds. The average net income went to $75, more than three times what it was in 1911. Those results were due to the weed- ing out of 30 per cent of the previous year's herd and replacing the poor ani- mals with better of home breeding. Care of the Churn. It is almost impossible properly to cleanse anything used in handling milk if not first rinsed or plungi;d into cold Rater. After rinsing in cold water Scrub with a brush and warm water iia which some salsoda has been dig. Solved, then scald with boiling water or steam. Dry in the open air. Never eloee a wet churn; leave the lid off. True Dairy Economy.

APIARY DEMONSTATIONS 1915. Great interest has been abown in the apiary demonetratlons conducted throughout the Province under direction of ler. Morley Pettit, Provint•ial Apiar- ist. The attendance at the fifty-five meetings held during the season of 1914 averaged 34, while in 1912 the average waa 25. Unexcelled- epportunl•ties are offered those present to have their dif- ficulties in bee -keeping explained, and the demonstrator, having the apiary and the equipment at his disposal it able to illustrate his remarks to great advantage. The meetings are held in the apiaries: Hives are opened and the working of the colony displayed. Attention is dir- ected to the different kinds of cells, the various stages of the brood, the queen it pointed out, and suggestions made on the activities of the colony. Foul Brood, swarming, wintering and re - queening are also discussed and the time is very profitably spent both for the beginner and the experienced bee- keeper. The use of models of a wintering case for wintering four colonies outdoors will be an interesting addition to the meetings to be held this season. Al- ready arrangements are under way for two demonstrations in each county. The date and place of meeting will be announced in the papers and on cards sent to the bee -keepers. From present indications these meet- ings will be more widely attended and of greater value to' the bee -keepers than ever before.

Shrapnel was originally the name of a British general who, about a hun- dred years ago, was begging the board of ordnance of his native land for some substantial recognition in respect of the new and deadly missile he had. placed absolutely at their service and was being told that the institution in question "bad no funds at its disposal for the reward of merit." I Henry Shrapnel's invention was probably first employed at Surinam in 1804 and was then "favorably report- ed on," but eleven years later Sir George Wood, who commanded the ar- 1 tillery at Waterloo, declared that shrapnel had won that famous battle. Without it, Wood asserted, no effort of the British could have recovered the farmhouse of La Haye Sainte. In 1814 the government granted Shrapnel a pension of £1,200 a year for life, but this was interpreted by his paymasters to cover all the inven- tions Shrapnel had given to the army, including an ingenious gun mounting whereby the recoil was utilized to bring one gun into action at the same • time as another was put under cover. Shrapnel was, thus placed at a disad- vantage, though he had the satisfac- tion of drawing his pension to a ripe nld age. He died in 1842, aged eighty- -Arg naut. ighty- .Argonaut. THE MALTESE DERBY. Its Curious Race Course With Go as You Please Rules. Horse racing is a favorite sport the world over, but it is doubtful whether any nation can boast of such a curious race course or claim more remarkable ideas of the sport than the Maltese. Once a year the road skirting Sliema harbor is reserved as a race course, and the people turn out in thousands. There is no regulation of the course. The crowd simply clears out of the way as the horses come along. The jockeys ride without bridles or anddles, and each carries a whip in either hand -one for his own mount, the other to keep back any horse which may try to overtake him. We saw one of the spectators deliberately trip a horse up by putting his leg out, at grave risk to himself. These things, however incredible as they seem to sportsmen in this coun- try, are taken as quite a matter of course, and consequently hardly a year goes by without a fatality of some kind. All things considered, It is not likely that the "go as you please" rules of this Maltese derby are likely to com- mend themselves to other turf authori- ties. -Wide World Magazine. Quicksilver. The ore from which quicksilver is obtained is a brilliant red rock known as cinnabar. When of high purity it is actually vermilion in color. Cinna- bar is the original source of the pig.

It is most digestible roasted or well mashed. People growing old those with few teeth should use potatoes sparingly. Of the other vegetables, artichokes, carrots, parsnips, and beet_ root are the most nourishing, contain- ing from 10 to 14 per cent. of starch and sugar (the potato contains about 18 per cent.). Onions, tomatoes, turnips, French beans, cabbage, cauliflower. and truffles contains from 5 to 7 per cent. of starch and sugar. Cucumber, asparagus, Brussels sprouts, celery, spinach, and seakale contain only from 2 to 4 per cent. Of protein the range is from only a4 per cent. in cucumber to 2?. per cent. in artichokes, asparagus and spinach, but green peas contain 4 and truffles 6 per cent., while the very large content of 23 . per cent. is found in lentils and dried haricots, and 28 in pea flour (lean beef contains 21 per cent,) From these figures it is clear that while a few vegetables are very nu. tritious, the majesty have no great value as food. But their sats are in" dispensable. These keep the blood pure, supplying 'it with sodiun:, po- tassium, calcium, etc, If the blood does not get a sufficiency of these the health suffers. Both for enjoyment and for obtaining the greatest possible value to the blood it is necessary that vegetables shall be flesh. This condition is not always satisfied in London and other cities. One must have his garden andbring his green vegetables straight from it to the table to obtain the best results. A cauliflower or a dish of green peas from One's oven garden is a very different thing from what is often 'bought at the greengrocer's. It is more appetizing, more digestible, and more satisfying to the body.
