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

How would you like to lie on a hard

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

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

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.

EDUCATION
.
BY DR. J. i. MIDDLEETON
Provincial Board of Health,. Ontario
Dr. 19dideeten will be glad to =saver questions an Elie Health mete.
tors through this colomu. Address him at Spadini& gotta*, speatims
Oresceut, Toronto.
HeaIth,rules are good for children.
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, , '

"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.

Pumping Water With a Belt.
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.
