You gain nothing by Overloading your horse; Too heavy a load strains the •horseand brings on'lanleuess and disease.' It doesn't pay to overload. You gain 'nothing by underfeeding your horse. A well-fed horse can do. his work much better and, quicker than a horse that is weak because he is haltstarved. He will last longer and • save you Prom buying a new Horse. It doesn't pay. to starve a horse. Every working horse needs twelve to isixteen quarts of good grain every day. „It doesn't pay to give your horse poor oats and musty, coarse hay. Ile can't do good work on such food. How would you like to eat bread`mado. ".sf sawdust? Your horse always needs water in the morning, The first thing, you want in the morning is a drink. Your horse is just as thirsty as you are, and it is an injury to him when he cannot get water before he"•"goes out in the '4norning. •Ho suffers with thirst and that bring& on disease, If you cannot tinct a horse.we]1 you do 'not deserve Give your, horse bedding at night, How would you like to lie on a hard floor when you are tired out with a day's work? Blanket him in cold weather. , It is cruel to let a horse stand in the cold day or night without ' a blanket. Do not use a harness that does not fit. 'If you do, your horse will have sores on his back and shoulders. Be especially careful about the -collar and saddle: , Have his feet `kept in good condition.. How can you expect a horse to work if his shoes hurt him? Ilave his teeth looked at. He may have such poor teeth that he cannot chew his food. An old horse or a horse with poor teeth will suffer with hunger and get very thin and weak if he is not given cut feed. The hay should be cut and the oats ground. Corn meal, ground oats and shorts, in equal parts, make very good feed. If --"moo. the -horse is very thin and hide -bound, , add a handful of linseed meal. If the horse has worms, give two tablespoons of charcoal every: night. Always have a lump of salt In the -horse's manger. Do not sell a horse that is too old to work, but have him mercifully killed. How would you like to be kept at work untilyouare so old and stiff and lame you can hardly stand? Give your horse a .good day's rest on Sunday, and have dry bedding for him to lie on. He will work much bet- ter etter through the week if; he:has a day of rest, and good care. Saturday night or Sundayamorning give a bran:i-lash. with a tablespoonful of saltpetre and two tablespoonfuls of ginger. ---A-licrrsereisegild be groomed daily, if possible. ,If not, -go over him thorough- ly once a week. This will keephis skin In good condition. He will rest better on Sunday if he is well groom- ed. See that his fetlocks and heels are well dried when he comes in, es- pecially ink the winter. This will pre- vent scratches, revent>scratches, foot -rot, and other ail- ments. The Worth of Music. A half hour` or more spent in listen- ing to good vocal music or instrument- al music after a long day's contact with the friction and asperities of, this work -a -day world will act as a balance wheel to restore the jaded soul, the perplexed mind,' the tired body. The man who is worried, or excited,. or downcast, will find in good music a. stimulus, or, it may be sedative, which will go far to correct the strain and stress under which his whole be- ing has been laboring. It will inspire him with nobler thoughts, purer vision, peace and calm. In these days of agi- tation and unrest, when the very foun- dation of established institutions seem sometimes to bo crubing and we won- der what 'eateclysm impends, music, good music and an 'abundance of it, will prove a .powerful corrective, and an agency, which will heal the sick- ness in the human soul and help to restore civiliztaton. The worth of music has net been as generally recognized as it should have been. Music has the same effect on men in civil' -life -as in army life, and during 3 •. these' daysof upheaval, of discontent, of mental and moral disintregration, can be used as a' potent and effectual mesns to offset •these malign in- fluences and torecreate` a happy and contented spirit in the minds of our people. i•a Costumes.

Their young minds assimilate knowl- edge very readily, and good advice given early , in life in a sympathetic andattractive way often makes a lasting impression. • The value of good health and the advisability of maintaining good health as a bulwark against the at- tacks of such diseases as tuberculosis should ever be impressed on children as well as adults. When the constitu- tion is -robust, when good health is much in evidence, there is not so much danger of disease germs as in the person who is weak or anaemic or generally :beloty the normal standard' of health. What should the child learn then, that may be of benefit to him in ward- ing off sickness. Here are some things` to remembei •: - Go to bed early, and• get plenty of sleep. When tired or ill, rest by lying down—not sitting up. Live in the open air all you,can and keep the windows open night and day so that the air may always be fresh Clean night air with open windows i is safer than dirty night air with the windows shut. Daily exercise in the open air is invaluable. l Admit sunshine and light into the I house. Clean the windows. Sunshine and daylight kill the germs and !strengthen the body. Eat plain, clean, nourishing, fresh foods. Oatmeal -porridge, bread and milk,: butterinilk, lentil or pea soup, all are good. -Let your clothes be few in number, loose in fit, light in weight, woollen in texture. Keep yourself and your home clean. Clean teeth, clean clothes, clean body; clean hair (girls' should be in plaits or tied back in school) . Soap and water aided by fresh aircurrents and sunshine will keep the home clean. The germ ` of tuberculosis grows with difficulty in a healthy body. Therfore observe and piactice the laws of health. After it had been definitely con chided for years that the American bison in its wild state was extinct on the continent, and that the sole mem- bers of this mighty, race in Canada were included in the animals at Banff i ht Park, ' in Wa nwr ig a Dominion Government survey party last year discovered some fifteen hundred buf- falo ranging in the uncharted areas of Northern Alberta between' the Peace and Slave Rivers and Great Slave Lake. Steps were immediately. taken by the Dominion Government to preserve these animals, the results of which are now announced in the es- tablishment of a new wood sanctuary. The entire habitat of the wild bison has been included in the new sanc- tuary and in addition a portion of the habitat of the wooded cariboo which range the Cariboo ,Mountains. The total area of the new park is approxi- mately 10,500 miles square, and within this area the wild bison have two dis- tinct ranges, within each of ,which are the seasonal habitats frequented by each herd. The northern range is bounded on the south, east and north-east by the Little Buffalo River, on the north by the Nyarling River, and extends west almost within fifteen miles,, of Buffalo Lake. The southern range is bounded on the east by the Slave River, on the south by the Peace River, on the west and north-west by the Jack Fish and LittleBuffalo Rivers and on the north by the Salt. River, Arrangements for syetema.tie patrols ' have 'keen made and cabins. constructed for wardens at points which will facilitate an efficient patrol service all the year round. Last Herd of Wild Buffalo. This new addition to known Cana- dian wild life gives the Dominion the two largest buffalo herds in the world. The preservationof these animals in their wild state, besides being of in- terest and value from the standpoint of natural history, is a move of ` mo- ment to all people on ,the continent. Few in this generation have had the opportunity of viewing the monarch ofthe plains yearning unhampered on his natural range, , ' 'Ile great .armadillo has nfnet t • teeth ---more than :.i ' ether Though tit the pl ose t time the ay ez anima.] tr se sse s. visiteother interested s t t offou lists and i to e ed � -v "holidayers" is not encouraged on ac- count of the inaccessibility of the lo- cation to ordinary conveninences and the lack of facilities, there is no doubt these will be remedied as soon as prac- ticable. It will be a considerable time before settlement invades this region, and as the haunt of the world's last herd of wild buffalo it should exert a very wide and potent attraction. BABY'S W' TABLETS ALWAYS KEPT ON HIND Mrs. Ernest E. Adkins, Bretton, Sask.; writes• —"I have used Baby's Own• Tablets with great success for four'years and always keep a box on hand." Thousands of other mothers say the same thing—once they have used the Tablets for their little ones they will use nothing else. Experi- ence shows them, that the Tablets are the ideal medicine. They are a mild laxative, thorough in action and never fail to relieve the minor ailments, of little ones. The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by hail at ,25 cents a box• from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

It is said that an English inventor has constructed a pump without cylin- ders or •duelists that will lift a thous- and gallons of water an hour from a depth. of 300 feet even when worked by hand. It consists simply of a spiral spring belt, a grooved weight that turns with the bottom loop" of the belt and holds the belt in place, and a.driving crank and pulley .for turning the belt. The coil -like cable is carried down to any depth by the grooved weight. The water is held in the meshes of the spiral spring by capillary attraction as it is drawn up, and is discharged only when the coils turn over at the top. One authority has called the new pump "a mechanical impertiunence." Artificial Light for Extra Eggs. By E. W. Knife. The use of artificial light ie simply to induce the hens to eat a greater quantity of feed. This, of course, with proper exercise,. results in increased egg production. Therefore it matters little when the lights are turned on. Some people prefer morning, and turn on a couple of hours before sunrise. In this case, scatter the grain ration in the litter after dark the previous evening, and when the hens get off the roost in .the morning they will im- mediately: get busy scratching for their feed. Then 'feed your hot mash at noon, and your grain late in the af- ternoon. again. Others Pieter con- tinuing daylight, by artificial means, until 8.30 or 9 p.m., feeding grain about 7 a,m., hot mash at noon, grain again ;about '3 p.m. and 7 p.m. Others, including Professor Graham's farm, believe in, supplying an "even- ing lunch" by turning on the lights for an, hour, from 8 to 9'p.m., then feeding the extra .feed. of grain., It will pay anyone who keeps a flock of 50 ormore hens to have light in- stalled, as the use of same increases egg production from 1/3 to aa more than when lights arenot used. This does not necessarily mean a greater egg production throughout the ,year, but it does mean getting the most eggs when prices are highest. Electric light is, of course, the most convenient form of lighting, as the lights can be switched bn and off by an alarm clock. But if y ou have not electric light do not despair. A plant with about 2,000 birds a short way from :Toronto uses gasoline lanterns, Which being the safest lantern made, giving a 300 candle power light, has also a great advantage, for when gaso- line is turned off the light does not go out for a few minutes therebyi u giving the birds a chance to get back to roosts. With a lantern it is almost necessary to use lights in either of the two evening methods' suggested. Using light is not a new idea, hut along used method, coming back and back to stay this time. Anyone can point out difficulties; it calls for brains and courage to look beyond difficulties to successful ac- Complishment. 1111i CAUSE il)F Sith3 SS Ahuost .Airways Due to Weak and Impoverished Blood, Apart from accident or illness- due. to infection, almost all ill -health arises from one ar two reasons, The mistake that people make is•„aln pot realizing that both, of these have the same cause at the root,, namely poor blood. Either bloodlessness or some other trouble of the nerves will be found to be the reason Por almost every ail- ment, if you are pale, suffering from headapiies, er breathlessness, with pal- pitation of the heart, poor appetite and weak digestion; the cause is al- Most always poor blood. If you have nervous headaches, neuralgia, sciatica and other nerve pains, the cause is ex- hausted nerves. But run down nerves are also a result of pogr blood, so that the two chief caused of illness are one and the same. - If your health is poor; if you are pale, nervous or dyspeptic, you should give Dr, Williams' Pink Pills a fair trial. These pills -act directly on the blood, and by enriching it give new strength to worn out nerves. Men. and women alike greatly benefit through the use of this 'medicine. If you' are weak or ailing, give Dr. W11- Hams' Pink Pills a fair trial and you will be pleased with the beneficial re- sults that will speedily follow. • If your dealer does not keep these pills you can get them by mail at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co.e Brockville, Ont. Windmills: May; Become -Popular, Windmills may prove to be the solu- tion. of the fuel -and power problems so pressing in both Great Britain and America. The high cost of coal, the great initial expense of utilizing "white coal,” or hydroelectric' power, and the tying up of water power everywhere by corporations,, make the use of wind- mills increasingly important ° to the small factory owner and individual in the suburbs, or open country. By means of wind turbines and a compact storage battery it is passible to generate and save electric current sufficient to light and heat the ordinary dwelling, besides furnishing power for the farm machinery and even for small factories. The wind turbines work without rest and in their' perfect- ed form require little attention, as automatic governors prevent over- charging of the storage batteries. Time was when windmills were seen everywhere. Then cheap fuel and gasoline motors superseded them, but with the increasing cost of all fuel they stand more than a fair chance of coming into their own again. Thought They Came for the Rest.
