ELLIOTT Sole: Agerit TIMES OFFICE WINGHAM HIS TRIBUTE TO WOMEN, Page 3 No matter what nue may think of the philosophy of ttobert G Ingersoll, one must admit that he stands gut pominent- ly se an American, who was a master in the use of the English htnguage The following is his oft -quoted tribute to women: "It takes a hundred men to melee an encampment, but one woman can make a home. I not only admire a woman as the most beautiful object ever created, but I reverence her as the redeeming glory of humanity, the sanctuary of all the virtues, the pledge of all perfected qualities of heart and head. It is not jiist nor ri;ht to lay the sin of men at the feet of a woman. It is because women are so much better than men that their faults are considered great- er. A man's desire is the foundation of his love, but, a woman's desire is born of her love. The one thing in this world that is constant, the one peak that rises above all clouds, the one window in vvhtch the light forever burns, the one star that darkness can- not quench, is woman's love. • It rises to the greatest heights, it sinks to the lowest depths. It forgives the moat cruel injuries. It is perennial of life. and grows in every climate. Neither coldness nor neglect, harshness nor crueiness can extinguish it. A woman's love is the perfumer of the heart. This is the real love that subdues the earth; the love that has wrought all miracles of art; that gives us music all the syay from the cradle song to the grand closing symphony that bears the cloud away on wings of fire. A love that is greater than power, sweeter than life and stronger than death." PORK PRODUCTION. 1 able to feed with corn for fattening hogs. Ground wheat either soaked or moistened gives faster gains with less grain for 100 pounds of grain than corn, but corn gave faster gains with less grain for 100 pounds of grain than whole wheat either soaked or dry. Soaking wheat increased its feeding value only slightly, but grinding the wheat increased its feed value about one-fifth. For growing pigs on alfalfa pasture and fattening them when having access to alfalfa hay, a grain ration of corn proved more efficient than a grain ration of two parts corn and one part shorts. Experiments in cooking alfalfa hay for hogs, indicate that the feeding value of the alfalfa may have been in- creased slightly by the cooking, but not sufficiently to offset the extra cost. The summary indicates among other items that with corn valued at 60 cents per bushel the cost of feed alone for producing a pound of pork is about 5 cents. Very interesting data concerning the cost of wintering brood sows and the cost of growing and fattening pigs are given in Nebraska Agricultural Ex- periment Station Bulletin 147, which is a report of the Norio Platte Substa- tion. By using a large amount of alfalfa 'bay with a limited amount of grain the net cost of wintering old brood sows is kept at the low figure of $L25 each without allowing the sow to become too thin for the best results in raising litters. On a ration containing from one-fourth to one-third alfalfa hay, young brood sows are carried from the pasture fields to the farrowing pens at a small profit and in suitable condition for farrowing and raising fair litters. AwThe s verage number of pigs per litter ! raised from old sows during a period of four years was 6 55, at a cost of $2.11 per pig weighing 60 pounds. The aver- age number of pigs raised by young brood sows during a like period was 6.2 at a cost of $1.68 per pig weighing 50 pounds. The fall pig was grown t� the weight of 50 pounds aa cheaply as the spring pig. When grazing on alfalfa, pasture pigs receiving 2.5 pounds of grain per 100 pounds of their weight daily, have gained 0.75 pound per days. The rate of grain on alfalfa pasture bore a Biose relation to the amount of grain fed, The most suitable supplementary reed to corn for fattening hogs seems to depend on several variable factors, Oil meal, cold pressed cottonseed cake, and tankage rank close together in the profits secured in nearly all tests. In some tests these by-products give faster gains and more profit than corn and alfalfa, and in other tests the revere ie true. The physical condition of the hogs as influenced by weather and other factors seems to determine whether alfalfa hay or such a by-product as those just mentioned is the most profit - A A Wonder Worker "It heals like magic," is a favorite expression when Dr. Chase's Ointment is used.

Dressed in a suit of imnlaeulate style, Sporting an eyeglass, a lisp and a smile? Whistling mazurkas . and smoking cigars? What is a gentleman? Say, is it some one, Boasting of conquests and deeds he has done, One who unblushingly glories to speak Things which should call up a, flush to his cheek; One, who whilst railing at actions unjust, Robs some young heart of its pure- ness ano trust, Scorns to steal money, or jewels or wealth, Thinks it no crime- to take honor by stealth, "A FRIEND," V, : : we". it He's got an awful stubby tail, Most times he's full of fleas, His ear is all lopped over and he's full of dog disease, He can't go in the kitchen, 'cause He makes such tracks you see, But 1 can't help but like him, for He is so fond of me He's all chewed up from fighting, which A dog was made to do; He smells sour when it's rainy, but His heart is good and true. And if Igo ii,side he waits All morning if need be, Until I'm through, which shows that he Is awful fond of me. He ain't a very fancy dog, Not very much for looks; I never saw a dog like him, In any of my books. Sometimes he gets the mange until His hair comes off; but he Don't care for beauty; if I let him follow me. I only need to pet him, and • He wags his tail and barks, And me and him together•go On lots of gentle larks. Sometimes he chases chickens, or A tomcat up a tree. But I never whip him, 'cause He is so fond of me. I don't know where I got him, but He must have been growed up Before 1 can remember, for He never was a pup. And maybe folks don't like him when Their cats go up a tree; But I can't help but like him when I know he's fond of me. —W. J. Foley. What is a gentleman? Is it not one. Knowing instinctively what he should shun, Speaking no word that can injure or pain Spreading no scandal and deep'ning no stain?

Is it any wonder that the blacksmith's greatest troubles are backache and derange- ments of the kidneys ? The con- stant strain on the muscles of the back and kidneys interferes with the filtering action of these organs. The uric acid poisons left in the blood cause pains and aches, back- ache and rheumatism, and such serious diseases as Bright's disease and hardening of the arteries result. But it is not the blacksmith alone who is tortured by backache, for there are many occupations in which the continuous 'strain on the back leads to 'much suffering, and also to serious disease Blacksmiths have always been strong in their praise of Dr. Chase's Kidney -Liver Pills, and by telling others of the good results accomplished by this treatment have added much to its popularity among farmers and horsemen generally. Tieing direct and prompt in their action, Dr. Chase 's Kidney -Liver Pills appeal to the man of action, The liver is awakened, the bowels aroused and the kid- neys strengthened by the influence of this medicine. The filtering and excretory organs lose no time in cleansing the sys- tem of the poisonous matter which gives rip, to painand disease.

The design of the Xmas Seal selected for this year of suffering and anxiety is the most attractive and appropriate that has ever been used. It takes the form of a Nurse in uniform making her appeal on behalf of the sick ones under her care, by holding up the double bar red cross, which is the emblem 'of the Crusade against Consumption. Last year the proceeds of the Xmas Seal Campaign reached $15,000, which was $3,000 ahead of the previous year. $20,000 is the sum aimed at this year. Twenty clerks in a store, twenty hands in a printing office. Twenty ap- prentices in a ship yard, twenty young men in a village—all want, to get along in the world and expect to do so, One of the clerks will become a partner, and make a fortune; one of the com- positors will own a newspaper and become an influential citizen; one of the apprentices will become a master builder; one of the young villagers will get a handsome farm and live like a patriarch - but which one is the lucky individual? Lucky? There is no luck about it. The thing is almost as certain as the rule of three. The young fellow who will dis- tance his competitors is he who mas- ters his business, who preserves his in- tegrity, who lives purely and cleanly, who devotes his leisure to the acquis- ition of knowledge, who gains friends by deserving them, and who saves spare money. There are some ways to fortune shorter than this old dusty highway; but the staunch man of the community; the mail who achieves something really worth having—good fortune. good name, a serene old age— goes in this hard, dusty road. Keep a stritit account of both profits and expenses; be careful to keep the first in advance of the last until the point of independence is reached. and you will most certainly avoid the dread- ful fate heretofore so common to nine - tenths of the foolish voyagers upon un- certain seas of business. Let your industry never grow weary; keep your faithful servant economy, ever on guard, and should no unfore- seen disaster overhelm you, your voy- age will most surely be a successful one.

' . r.. nt•i' res.age WHITEWASH FOR MITES If you are going to be a 'successful poultryman. young man you must get after those mites. They sap all the life out of the hens and cut down the supply enormously. They kill off large numbers of the most promising chick- ens, They are the worst enemies with which your flock has to contend. But you can get rid of them if you will. Have a thorough house • cleaning some fine day this coming Spring. Clean up the dirty floor. Take out the roosts and scrape them, and clean out the dirty nests. If they are too badly infested, burn them up and make some new ones. Brush down the cobwebs from the corners. Then take a spray pump and spray the whole inside of the poultry house, getting into all the cracks and corners with a mixture of one part crude car- bolic acid to ten of kerosene. This kills any of the mites which may have fled to the cracks and crevices for safe- ty. After this is dry, put on the white- wash. It may be put on with the same spray pump, but it sticks better and lasts longer if it is put on with a brush. Lice and mites can't stand whitewash. After the whitewash has thoroughly dried, refit the house with clean roosts and nests, and put some clean straw on the floor. If you wish, you can dust the hens off with lice powder before admitting them to the house. Repeat dusting again in about a week, or bet• ter apply the blue ointment. It is a very good time to do the job. If you will do this you will find that the lice have departed for some other henhouse whose owner is not so good a poultry- man as you.—University of Wisconsin - An Inspector from the Mimico Re- formatory for boys, is searching at Woodstock for a couple of Oxford County boys who escaped from the institution.
