hagaway the mother. But the great
majority of farmers have let the male

little, if any, supplenteutary feeding; and
when eilotfiling thee haa route to hand,
they decide at once to wean the colt and

the colt Is turned with other young stock
in a beak pasture, and allowed to restIc
for itself until late feel.
Such a system is essentially wrong.
Tlie colt should be taught to eat grain
end bay. lf it has not learned to do So
some time ago, then it should master
that accomplishment at once. White it
must not be too heavily fed, yet it should
be fed. liberally mid regularly. The one
thing to be kept in mind end zealously
striven after is to keep the colt thrifty
end eonetantly and rapidly growing.
With horses as with the live stock, we
wish them to make the greatest growth
possible at the earliest age, and this
must not be measured in pouncle of fat,
but in frame, height, boue and, muscle,
Hp to weaning time, the colt is very
little of a problem, as far as his feeding
and growth is concerned, but, from that
time on, the making of a colt into a
horse lies in the hails of its owner or
feeder, le it is starved and negleetea for
the next six months after weaning, it
will take the colt about two years long-
er to reech maturity, end it is very
doubtful if it will ever grow into as
large a horse as good care at the proper
time would have mode of it. That man
shows that he knows something about
horse production who piens to do his
best for the young colt during the :sec-
ond. six months of its life.
A moderate amount of clean, fresh,
mixed, hay, and a grain ration of oats,
with a little oil meal, and a twice -a -week
half ration of bran, will go far towards
supplyieg the colt's needs. There is noth-
ing better than a moderate amount of
milk for the eolt at this time. Most
learners ran readily supply this commod-
ity, and the user of it will find the re-
turns completely gratifying. Whole
milk may be used, or milk from whioh
half tnc fat has been removed, or even
skim milk. The milk, of .course, should
be zweet, wholesome, and freshly drawn.

The Huffs' Cood-Bye to the Can-

(BY Robert Blatchford).
The Canadians had a fine send-gff
on the conelusion of the manoeuvres
last Saturday from Dinton station on
Salisbury Plain. The Duke of Con-
naught was on the platform, and the
officers were presented to hine. The
London, and Suutli-Western Railway
provided excellent accommodation,
and the drums of the Buffs played
a nuraber of quicksteps with great
spirit.
There is no more exhilarating music
titan the music of the fife an drum.
It is of the very essence of soldiering.
band inspires and pleases, but we
hear bands everywhere. The drum
and fife belong to the Army. Only
real soldiers can give the true speech
to the drum and fife. No old soldier
can hear the drums and fifes unmov-
ed. A band inspires and pleases, but
the drums and fifes thrill.
And the drums of the Huffs are as
good as good min be, and they play-

I have not heard for more than thirty
years. And I forgot all those thirty
years mid was a gay young sergeant
stepping briskly along with the good
old Damehunders, a rifle on my

ing drummer boys with their chins
up and their shoulders, and the riflers
prancing along with a glaze() now and
again of their wicked eyes at some
smiling girl by the Wayside.
Then my wife said: "Look at the
I big drub:inlet I Isn't it grand; so
graceful and easy I" I looked at the
big &whiner of the Buffs and con-
firmed the lady's judgment. The big
drummer of the BlIff8 is a fine sped -
men of the Engliah soldier. Young
and straight, smart and clean, with
a enemy emile and blue- eyes, bright
and very keen. He, beat his drum as
though he loved it. He beat it as
one who understood it. Ile beat it
like a master. He beat it with a
grateful ease!. Ho beat it with re-
ticence Ana' with diectetion and with
the swiftest force and directnese. A
most excellent and accomplished
drummer.

A GREA,T DAY.
• My wife, who, although a soldier's
bride, had never seen a big drum pro-
perly beaten in her life, wan oleo-
lutely fascinated. She has accepted
the greatness of her husband and
William. Shakespeare as an act of
faith,but the transcendent genius of
She big drummer of the Buffs was a
thing palpably and visibly- demon-
strated to her eye -sight and her ap.
predation. She will never lift an
eyelash for a Mere civilian drummer
again.
Bo the Canadians entrained for
Liverpool and for home, and the
brave Buffs marched off to glory. It
was a great day, and convinced my
wife of the value of universal military
service. 'Arternus Ward once said he
knew a man without a tooth . in his
head, and net that man could beat a
drum as well as anybody. But Arte -
mus had never been in the British
Army. Artemus had never seen the
big drummer of the Buffs. •
The Canadians were enthusiaitic on
the eubject of the British Army. They
deolared that they had had the time
of their lives„and they went of' cheer-
ing. Their visit has produced excel-
lent results, aed it is worth while
considering the possibility of future
visits of over -seas, troops to the IV/oth-
er-oountry.
As for the difficulty of recruiting
for the Territorials, I can offer the
Government a meet valuable hint.
Send the drums of elle Buffo on tour
with our wonderful big drummer at
their head. The youths who will not
follow such a drum as. that are not
meant by nature ever to carry arms.

CAUSE AN) CURt •
OF RtitUMATISM
Due to Impurities in the Blood—
Cured by Dr. Williams'
Pink PiliS•
The most noticeable awl. immediate re-
sult of rheumatism is a marked thin-
ning of the blood, and in no dieeass
does it develop more rapidly. Not telly
does the blood become week, but it le
soon filled with impurities, which the
differeut orgaus of the betty have been
unable to throw off. One of the most
harmful of these impurities is urie iseid,
which is formed from the waste pro-
of the body. In health 11 19 read-
ily passed off by the Isithaeys with the
help of oxygen from the rea corptiecles
of the blood. Without oxygen the kid-
neys are u»able to rid the system of
this acid and it is retained in the blood
and distributed to all parts of the body.
The weak back, ;tains' across the kid-
neys and thin seanty,highly, colorethse
tretione, which follow, show that the acid
is already in the bleed and often lead's
the sufferer to think. he has kidney tro-
uble, If the disease is not driven out of
the blood, rheumatism van -never be
cured, and the sufferer will always be
subject to attacks, whenever exposed
to damp or old. With each returning
attack the pain becomes more severe
and complicatious often arise making
necessary the use of hetet forming drugs
to relieve pain.
It is readilly seen that the only way
to cure rheumatism is through the
blood. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills afford
such a treatment as they eoutain all
the elements necessary to build up and
purify the blood. They inerease its
oxygen varying capacity enabling the
kidneya to pass the uric acid from the
body and the other organ e to do their
work. This rheumatism is reached at
its root and permanently cured. Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills are absolutely free
front all habit-forming drugs, and are
not an experiment as the following ease
will ehow: Mr. W. Studley Lewis, Pilot
Mound, Mane says: "I an e firm be-
liever in Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and,
always keep some by use in case of need.
A few years ago while teaching school
I suffered so much with rheumatism in
my arms and shoelders that I had the
greatest diffieulty in writing on the
blackboard, and after trying e number
of remedies withoot benefit, I was al-
most in despair, and felt inclined to
abandon teaching. But one day I hap-
pened to pick up one of Dr. Williams'
almanacs, and read of the cure of a
number of severe eases of rheumatism
through, the use of Dr. Williams' Pink
Pine. This decided me to give the Pills
a trial, and I had only taken them a fee
weeks when I felt much better. In the
course of a few weeks more the pains
and stiffness had all left me, and I
had no more difficulty in doing my
work. I cannot say enough in praise
of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for they
and they alone cnrecl me of my rheu-

She made it her business to find out—
or rather the discovery came to us by an
adventure. •
One evening after dark we heard a
ehnd crying on the street. Going to the
rescue, we came upon ty,o tots of 8 and
10 weeping Over a broken milk 3eg. A
big boy had knocked into them, snatched
their money, and run off. The kiddies
were weeping not from fear of punish-
ment but because "mamma hadn't any
more pennies at home."
It did not take us long to discover
that thos shabbby, thinly clad yuunge-
tete. wailing over the loss ot 10 cents,
were the children of Gold Brick, who
threw money for show while his family
needed the common decencies of living.
It the salurger—as sometimes happens
—has no family, he does his stinting on
his landlady or his bill paying.
Before you praise a man as "so beauti-
fully generous" make sure that his- gen-
erositty is not gold bricky; that some
innocent victim is not payieg for It,

THE WAY OF LIFE,
In both Testament% human life is
represented as walking in a path or way.
In barmony with this idea, we are ex-
horted to walk circumspectly, honestly
and soberly; and, according to the Sitn10
usage, we are spoken of as walking in
love and walking in light. All these var-
ious phrases indicate the course of hu-
man life. The way of destruction, is re-
presented as a broad way, in Which
many walk careless of their destination.
while the way of life is narrow and
straight and lea& directly to Goa and
etereal life. God's 'Word is spoken of
as it lamp lightiug our meth. The path
of God's people is lighted by the. divine'
grace shining through the pages of the
written Word; and so the earthly life,
the daily experience, the -whole course
of a. Christian's earthly existence is
marked out for him.—Robert • Stuart
MacArthur.
PATIENT WITH THE LIVING.
Sweet friend, when thou and I art gone
Beyond eatles weary labor,
When small shall be our need of grace
From comrade or from neighbor,
Past all the strife; the toil, the care,
And done with all the sighing,
What tender truth shalt we have gained?
Alas! by simply dying!
Their lips so chary of their praise
Will tell our merits over;
Andeyestoo swift our faults to see
Shall no defects discover.
Then hands that would not lift a stone
Where stance were thick to cumber
Our steep hill path, will scatter flowers
About our pillowed slumber.
Sweet friend, perchance both thou and 1
Ere love is past forgiving,
Shoulki take the earnest lesson home—
Be patient with the living..
To -day's repressed rebuke may save
Our blinding tears to -morrow;
Then patience-, e'en when keenest edge
May whet it namelese sorrow.
'Tis easy to be gentle when
Deatlee silence shames our clamour,
Through memory's mystic glamour;
But wise it were for thee and me, ,
Ere love is past forgiving,
To take the tender lesson home—
Be patient with the living.
—31_argeret E. Sangster.
HOW TO WIN SOULS.
To will souls, for Christ is the very
highest achievement of any matt, the
highest privilege granted on rota,/ to
the Christian. "He that winueth settle
is wise," said the man of wisdom ni his
written message to the world.
William Evans, in itis book, "How
to Win Souls," says that suecessful
soul -winning for God is conditioned upon
eertain qualifications that are few and
simple,. and within; the reach of the
humblest ehild of God. He suggests
sero110er taheCinLsHan yourself, "First
take the beam out of thine own aye,
and then thou shalt see clearly to cast
out the mote that is in thy blsotheres
eye,"
2. Live in the Spirit. "Aud the Spirit
said unto Philip, Gonear and join thy-
self to Ids ehariot." We meet "liVe. More
and have our being in the Spirit,"
3. Have a deaire to see souls saved.
"And when he beheld the city he wept
over it."
