I Cheap Prices Merchant -Tailor Clothes Look Better They Always Have=; They Always Will ialimilM1/1 =MY That elusive something called style cannot be made in a factory. Good tailoring—the draping and cutting and mpdeling of cloth an Art, nothing less, Every good merchant tailor believes this with all his soul. He knows it from his own year's experience, patience and toil as a craftsman. He knows that merely to fit is but a small part of a good tailor's art. The right sort of clothes—the clothes you want— appeal as much through fitness, as through fit. Through an air of di tinction and elegance a good tailor can express the best there is in yon. He can make your clothes bespeak class. He can preserve individuality. He can give personality a chance. Yon want such clothes and they can be had in only one way—they must be cut and made expressly for you, from faultless fabrics, by that artist of merchants—a merchant tailor. These are tailoring facts, In neglecting them you wrong opportunity. E. C.

THE WINGUAM ADVANCE school are so unrelated to the great natipnal industry of agriculture and the home life, It le high lime for thoroughgoi.ug reformatory measures that will exalt the public school, snak- ing it au end in itself, Instead of low- ering it to the position of a mere feed- er to high schools and professions, a position which "The Farrn,er's Advo- cate" bas ,held for years. It is grabb fying to observe that Sir Tames Whit, ney announces that the Minister of Education (lopes to make changes in the regulations as will bring about this result. The false notion that measures a teacher's efficiency and value to the people by the number of scholars who could "pass the en. trance" has been miechievous, and public opinion oannot too vigorously or too soon demand a change. James J. Hill, the great railway magnate, declares that a shortage in food production in the United States has already begun, and that when the population of that country doubles, as is likely, there will be acute con. ditions, 400,000,000 bushels of wheat is the shortage he declares, and he asks—"Where is the United States to find a surplus of 400 million bushels?" In other words he says, it will take seven hundred million dol- lars to pay the bread bill, "The short- age is begun" he declares, If this be true, then the United States will be a close customer for our Northwest wheat, which J. 3, Hill figures will go up to $1.50 a bushel be- cause of the increased demand. But the Advance refers to this more parti- cularly because of the remedy Mr. Hill suggests, which is—smaller farms and more intensive cultivation, which eventually must prevail in Ontario, as it does in the old land. After nam- ing the remedy, Mr. Hill adds :— "Such close and careful cultivation as will yield highest profit per acre can best be given to Iand when it is culti- vated in comparatively small farms. Ten farmers, each cultivating from 40 to one hundred and sixty acres at the outside, with the most approved methods, supplemented where neces- sary by irrigation, can each earn a profit equal to that taken from two to three times the same area by slovenly tillage. Ten farmers instead of one increase the aggregate volume of trade with the merchants of the community and add in the same ratio to the gen- eral prosperity. The man of the farm must be con- sidered first in all our policies, because he is the keystone of the national arch. When he has produced the share of natural wealth that cor- responds to his best effort he must be able to find a purchaser at prices that will enable him to live in comfort and enjoy at least a moderate degree of prosperity. This has always been the final test of every country and every civilization. 'If I could have my way I should build a couple of warships a year lees. Perhaps one less would do. I would take that $5,000,000 or $6,000,000 a year and start at least one thousand agri- cultural schools in the United States at $5,000 a•year each, in the shape of model farms. This model farm would be simply a tract of land conforming in size, soil treatment, crop selection and rotation and methods of cultiva- tion to modern agricultural methods. Its purpose would be to furnish to all its neighborhood a working model for common instruction. Cultivating, per- haps, from forty to sixty acres, it could exhibit on that area the advant- ages of thorough tillage which the small farm makes possible ; of seed specially chosen and tested by experi- ment at agricultural farms ; of proper fertilization, stock raising, alternation of crops and the whole scientific and improved system of cultivation, seed- ing, harvesting and marketing. The farmers of a county could see, must see, as they passed its borders, how their daily labors might bring increas- ed and improved results. qt. ttiltlipMlbbalTite Theo. Rall .

LIFTING THE MORTGAGE. 'How easily and quickly, wisely or unwisely, our farms or property may be covered with the Inortgage "blan- ket" that may take years of bard la- bor to wipe out t There are times when a mortgage is justifiable, for in- stance, in the purchase of property or the making of some much needed and useful improvement. In either case good judgment roust be exercised, 'so that the burden may not be too Meavy. A business man once said in my hear- ing that " seven -tenths of the business of the world was done on borrowed capital." Be this true or no, I have noticed that the farmer who borrows heavily soon goes to the wall, In paying the mortgage, all that is in a man is brought out. The aim of every true man is to own his prop- erty free from encumbrance. With this as the goal, his every endeavor is toward the end. To lift the mortgage means that in- dustry, thrift and economy must be practiced. One reckless with time or money never accomplishes the desired aim. Again, there must be continuity of purpose, Without this we fail er9._. the battle is won. Start out with a decided purpose to meet the payments and interest as they come due. Don't let them overlap. Compound interest is all right for the usurer, but brings financial ruin to the mortgagee. Here is where many fail. Prompt- ness in meeting payments has saved many a man from the rocks. - Don't load too heavy. Be discreet in loading up, then 'when involved, aim to meet every payment when due and you will have the fun and reward of burning the mortgage some "sweet" day,—[Farm and Dairy. (Farmer's Advocate) "The F'armer's Advocate" is pleased to note the candid observations of Sir James Wbitney, Premier of Ontario, on the subject of the high School entrance examination, over which there has been an outcry because of the number of candidates, lJ10 failed to pass this summer, Sir James bluff- ly declares that this examination has beconne a sort of fetish, impairing the training of the public schools, inter- tering with their efileieticy, and has proven bad all around. The percentage of pupils who go on to the high Schools and Collegiate Institutes is but a small fraction of the whole, and the education of the majority is therefore lamentably de- fective. 'Leaving the pttblle school at about 13 years old, they do not read, write or spell properly, have little command of the ordinary use of figures, or ,ability to observe or ex- press themselves intelligently, Such evils are intensified by a system of orathiing for an examination, and when we consider that the general programme and methods of the publlo NEW ONTARIO DESCRIBED. New Ontario has been given much attention in the extra large magazine issue of Farm and Dairy that has been issued for the fall exhibitions. Sever- al pages of high class reproductions in the illustrated section, along with matter descriptive, which is featured in the regular reading pages, convey a very fair conception of our vast Northern heritage. Farm and Dairy throughout the summer has had a special representative in the Temis- kaming District taking photographs, securing interviews with settlers and generally furthering the interests of Farm and Dairy in that section of the country. Accordingly first hand in- formation has been secured. It is reproduced in the Exhibition Nunber in a way that is most pleasing, Although the Exhibition Number of Farm and Dairy is much larger than any number yet published, and it contains an illustrated section, it goes to its subscribers at no extra cost. Single copies sell for 15 cents. Sub- scriptions may be started with this issue in which case it may be included with a year's subscription for only $1.00. Intending subscribers should forward their subscriptions through this office. Enquire for our clubbing rates with this great agrienitural weekly, which is published at Peter- boro, Ont. Nervous Prostration For Three Years "Dr. Miles' Restorative Nerv- ine cured me of a period of nervous prostration of over three years duration, and the Anti - Pain Pills are as necessary to us as the roof of our house. They have been household rem- edies with us for many years." :WM. J. LOUGHRAN, 1214 Catherine St., Philadelphia, Penna. Much sickness is due to nerv- ous troubles. headache, diz- ziness, epilepsy and insanity are nervous troubles. Then there is a large class of disorders which arise from a weakness of the nerves of an organ or part, weak lungs,s, heart, stomach, kidney, bladder, eyes, etC. Dyspepsia and indigestion are usually the result of nervous disorders. Restorative Nert'+vitte soothes the irritated nerves, and assists the nerve cells to gener- ate nerve force.

F3k[, CNit;l[!t 1012010Ah 00., 'reroute, MAKING BUTTER ON THE FARM, The butter produced on my place is el the best quality, and 1 never fail in receiving the highest market price for it, is the manner In which A well [mown dairy farmer expresses, him. self as to making butter on the farm, Perhaps it would not be out of place if 1 should give your renders my method. My equlptnent consists of a four Horsepower gasoline engine, cream separator, churn, butter worker, a one pound printer, two shipping boxes and a tittle weighing scale, These aro all essentials except the engine. In my case the engine Is a graud affair, but I will not tette space bero to dwell on it. The centrifugal cream separator is the costliest piece and the last one I would part with, because with It I get practically all the butter fat. 1 do not feed fat worth 25 cents n pound to n five or six cent a pound calf when I can get feed et less .than 2 cents a pound that will meet the de- mands of the growing animal, Then I am sure to get uniformly better tex- ture and flavor in the butter. I have found that cleanliness in ail things and at all times is a feature of the utmost importance in producing• a high grade article. The sides and ud- ders of the cows are thoroughly clean- ed with a damp cloth before milking begins. This prevents dirt and dust from falling off the cow into the milk. I exercise especial care to see that the hands and clothes of the milker are clean and that the milk Is drawn into nothing but vessels that are scrupu- lously sweet and clean. After skimming the cream is cooled down to avoid bacterial action and souring, each skimming thus being cooled before being added to the gath- ering churning. My cream vessel is held in a little room with insulated walls in one corner of my dairy room, the vat being supplied with water and ice in warm weather. When ready to churn I add a quart or two of buttermilk held inthe cooler since the last churning, stir thoroughly and then place the cream vessel in a warm water tank or barrel where the temperature is raised to 75 to 80 de• grecs, where it is held and occasionally stirred until it is slightly acid and be• gins to have a glossy appearance. Then I gradually cool down to churn• ing temperature, 58 to 63 degrees. It has been stated that bad flavor results from the use of buttermilk as a starter, but one is safe if the create of each churning is churned in season and the starter held in the cooler till wanted. If from any cause a churn• ing is much off in flavor I would not use the buttermilk of this one for a ferment, but would make one of skim - milk. The commercial starter is good, but is not an essential. I have found that warm cream and speedy churning are fatal to fancy but- ter. Many conditions combine to influ- ence the time necessary to churn. In order to get good results it usually re- quires twenty to thirty minutes. I stop the churn when the butter Is In small granules, draw off the butter- milk and rinse the butter with clean water of about the same temperature as the contents of the churn, Usually one water le sufficient. The butter is weighed and thrown on the butter wdrker•, where I apply three-fourths of an ounce of salt to each pound of but- ter and work until the salt is well in- corporated with the butter and the brine eliminated. Rations For Horses. At the Michigan experiment station an experiment was recently conducted for ten weeks, using a variety of cheap substitutes for oats and timothy hay as a feed for horses. SIx horses at work received a regular ration of timothy hay and oats at an average cost of 20.6 cents per day, estimating the feed at current prices, The horses lost on an average eleven pounds each. Six horses were fed a cheaply ration, consisting of shredded corn- stalks, oat straw, hay, ear corn, oats, beet pulp, bran, oil cake and a few 1 the cost of which carrots,av a e e was 17.7 cents per day, and the horses gained du an average fourteen pounds each. Your horses were also fed the cheaper tation, but as they were at rest part of the time they were not fed so heavily as the other lots. The area age of maintenance in this trial was 12.9- cents, and the average loss in live weight for each horse was four pounds. Good Preventive of Disease. Thorough sanitation about the ani- mals' quarters is necessary to prey eat disease. A little whitewash contain- ing disinfectants In the stable will often,sare the life of a valuable horse, and the cost of labor in using it will amount to only a few dollars. Man- gers from which all animals feed should be painted and disinfected. The pntnting may bo creosote or oth- er cheap kinds. O1t1 hog wallows are frequently breeding boles for cholera; hence they should be filled and clean plttce5 made for the hogs - For Enlarged Glands. ' When lumps appear in the dog's neck near its chest the glands are enlarged. A good remedy for this ailment is to mix two drams of iodine with two ounces of vaseline and rub a little on the lump every third day and continue for several months if needed, Hay For Horses Very Valuable. A colt or horse will live and develop on good hay alone, but he will thrive better upon two-thirds ration of bay and the rest straw.
