Medluilk to young pigs that are up in
pens where they can not get to the
ground or euceulent food, slob as gran
and reots,.
The pigs usually look fat and well un-
til some moroing, when being fed, some
of them will take what is commonly
known. as a fit and may die inside of
an hour. If they do recover and the
food is not changed they and their vont-
..
pantos will show a dirty, scurvy ap-
pearanee on the skin about the eyes,
back of the ear and back of the shoul-
ders. The hair becomes curly, and the
pig has a tendency to go around with
his beck humped up. This is owing to
a deranged conditien of the digestive or-
gans. which should be remedied by giv-
ing the pigs a dose of raw linseed op,
followed by plenty of eucculent food,
gut& aa roots or grass, and plenty of ex-
ercise.
HEAVES IN HORSES.
The term heaves is used to describe
that disease of the horse which other -
vis is known as broken wind, or tech -
Meetly as emphysema of the lungs.
Thi ailment, which is Insurable
when thoroughly established, and to
which a tendency is inherited by the
offspring of an affected sire or dam,
is characterized by the following
symptoms: Double bellows -like action
of the abdominal museles in breath-
ing; short, suppressed cough usually
accompanied by passage of gas front
the rectue; gluttonous appetite; •harsh,
starting coat of hair; pot belly; weak-
ness; 'leek of endurance, sweating,
pentipg, or staggering during work;
dilated nostrils; frequent passage of gas
and soft, foul-smelling feces when sthrt-
ing from stable.
The. disease begins with indigestion,
effecting in time the pneumo-gastrie
nerve of the stomach, and then the
branch nerves running to the lungs.
At first the air tubules and vesicles
of the lungs become dilated; later they
4r -, may break down into large air spaces
and the surrounding lung tissues be-
come involved. .Air then is easily in-
haled, but is exhaled with difficulty, and
tho effort couses cough and expulsion
of gas.
The distress may be relieved by
treatment. but perfect recovery is im-
possible when the lungs have be-
come Indy affected. Trent by sub-
stituting wet oat straw for hay in
summer. Allow double the usual rest
period after a meal. Work when
stomach is not distended with food.
Do not feed hay at noon. Use lime
water to wet all fopd. Once or twice
a week give raw linseed oil in a. bran
Mash to open bowels. Give half an
ounce of Fowler's solution night and
morning. Do not breed from Affected
horses.

PRACTICAL HINTS ABOUT
POULTRY.
(Canadian Farm.)
• COLD BREEDERS.
The idea of raising chickens with-
out the aid of artificiad heat and with-
out Mother Hen is practised some-
what "over the line."s.It is being
tried in England, but not with much
success so far. The brooders are con-
structed so that a cloth hangs ahnost
on the chicken& backs, and cushions
fit on frames all round, like a pad-
ded counterpane* Has any reader
ever tried this system in Canada with
suecess on a fairly -large or small
scale?
I am sure readers of the Canadian
Farm would enjoy a letter on the sub-
peot from someone who has actually
tried it.
These American systems are net al-
ways suitame for the Canadian cli-
mate. They have been tried in the
Old Country, but they have had to
oonsiderably modify the idea he
order to make it practic.able.
Of course, we all know it would
be an easy matter to raise chickens
without heat in August, but what
about March and April. These are
often pretty cold months in Canada.
INDIAN GAME •
Were first produced by croesing•May-
lays with English game. Some auth-
orities also say that the Aseel was
also used, and personally I am of this
belief. The Indian Genie has been
"sed in Cornwall, &stand, for about
76 years, hence the name ' "Cornie,h
Garile."
The Indian Game fowl is one of
the best of table fowl. The Cocker-
els are largely uses.: ems with
other heavy breeds to produce.table
fowl.
The size and weight should be on
the large eize. Adult cocks from 8
to 12 lbs. Hens 6 to 8 lbs. The body
should be thick set. e-rde breast, and
very deep, shoulder butts prominent,
lege massive, head long, pea -comb.
General shape, upright, feather, hard,
narrow.
The pullets are only fair layera of

BRAIIMAS.
The torrent name of these fowls is
Brahma Pootm, introduced into Eng -
'arid from Lakhimpool, on the river
Brahmapootra,. in the years 1846 to
1847. This Amalie race was intro -
dewed into America about the same
time from India also. The Englieh
Brahma has long tines; been eupee-
tteried by the modern breeds as a
utility bird. The English standard
calls for a much higher degree of
excellence from an exhibition stand-
point, hence the profuse foot feather-
ing makes them unsuitable for util-
ity purposes. The bird ae bred in
Canada is a gotel all round fowl. The
Brahma is one of the fcovls together
with the Cochin that has helped to
raanufacture the modern breeds.
There are two varieties, light and
dark. We have the exact coloring of
these good old breeds in the Colum -
his and silver pencilled Wyandotte,
often called by some contemptuously,

Many ,strams of Brahmas are gued

They are a sitting breed. The birds

weigh 11 to 12 lbs., hens 7 to 10

cated breed, and suitable for con-
finement. They do not require muoh

11IGHWA.TS OF THE BIRDS.
A wonderful picture is presented to thp
imagination by Dr. Gromler's description
uf the gathering tf the migratory birds
of France fur their annual flight toward
A.trica. lie ehows that they have two
great atmospheric highways winch they
oursue bY preference—one leading over
the Pyrenees by the principal passes Into
Spain, and thence Lu the Strait ot Gib-
raltar ; and the other skirtioa the Alps
and passing awn .the whole length of
Italy. As the season advances the birds
may be seen converging front western,
central and Southern France toward the
Pyreneean passes. Sometimes the setae
Species, eliell as the chaffinch, divide in-
to two parties, which Dr. Oromier thinks
ho can Oistinguish by tbe character of
their songs, one taking the Spanish and
the other the Italian route. Eaeh species
has its favorite way depending on the
suaply of the kinds of the food it pre -
lis. The bullfinch follows the ranges of
low hills ; the blackbird keeps to the
Nineyards, and some kinds follow the
watercourses anti the shore lines..
VAST LIVING FILLS ASYLUMS.
At a meeting of the Academy of Medi-
cine in New York It was clearly brought
out that meny cases of insepity which
are now incurable, would have been pre-
ventable if their cause had been pro-
perly Yellowed up and attacked.Dr.
Albert W. Ferris, President of the New
York State Lunacy Commission, esti-
mated that almost half the cases of
Insanity under close observation m the
State Hospitals were the result of loose
living and nervous strain.
During the last ten years, said Dr.
Ferris, while the population of the State
has increased 48 per cent, the number
of Insane has increased 104 per cent.
Nearly half of these were of foreign
birth, and as per cent, had been driven
mad by alcohol and drugs.
" The crying need of the present day,"
said Dr. M. Allen Starr, " Is a realization
that we work too* hard ; that we strive
teo intensely ; teat we feel too keenly.
Moderation, not excess, leads to health.
POWER FROM SEA WAVES.
At the recent meeting of the British
Association the question of economical
production of polite from tides and winds
was again under discussion, and it has
been taken up widely by scientific jour-
nals In Europe. La Revue Selentifique
calls attention to a system of utilizing
the power of sea waves to actuate a
dynamo which has been employed during
the past six months at the mouth of
the River Gironde. An air chamber is
connected with a well, watch communi-
catee with the sea at a depth below the
Itvel of the lowest tides. By the ad-
vance and recession of the waves, chan-
ges of pressure are produced in the air
chamber, and a syetem of valves en-
able:. the resulting alr-eurrents to be
applied to rotating a kind of turbine. It
is said that the apparatus works equally
well In calm and mn. stormy weather.
WASHING OYSTERS.
Fabre Domergue has made an interest-
ing series of observations at Concarneau,
which Amid serve to justify scientific
methods in the eyes of the world, for
that oysters may be kept for .elght days
(or even a fortnight) in filtered water,

TO PitEVENT INSANITY.
Campaign of Education Undertaken
In the State of New York.
The number of insane persons in hos-
pitals it the United States on JiinS 1,
1904 (no later figures are available for
the country as a whole), was not less
than 150,151.
This was more than double the num-
ber in 1990, which was 74,02;3. From
1904 to 1910 the insane in boapitals in
New York alone increased 25 per cent.
It is safe to say, writes Homer Folks in
the Amerielin Review of Reviews, that
the insane now in hospitals in the 'United
States number at least 200,000.
These unfortunates if gathered to-
gether in one place would make up a city
approximately the size of Rochester,
St. Paul, Seattle, Deliver or Louisville.
The population of the State of Delaware
in 1910 is almost exactly the same as the
nnuoulber of insane in the United States in
The population of Nevada end Wyo-
ming in 1910 together is about equal to
the population of ihe hospitals for the
insane in the TJnited States. The total
annual cost of caring for the insane in
the United States is in the neighborhood
of $50,000,000 a year. About one-sixth of
the total expenditure of the State of
New York is for the care of the insene.
The New York State Charities Aid As-
soeiation has outlined awl is carrying
into effect a movement for popular edu-
cation along scientific lines by Sound
psychological methods as to the causes
and prevention of insanity. As one lac -
tor in this edutational movement a short
leaflet has been prepared, stating in sim-
ple language the easential facts as to
the causes of insanity so far as they are
now known. -
This leaflet is being printed not by
hundreds, not by thousands, but by hun-
dreds of thousands. It is being placed
in the hands of men, women, boys and
girls, through every form of organization
willing to help in distributing it. It has
been sent to every physician in the State,
to the prineipal of every public school,
to all elergytaen, college presidents and
faculties, superintendents of eity schools,
health °Meet's, county iehool eonnnis-
stoners, secretaries of Y. M. C. A's., to
officers of labor unions, proprietors of
factories, dNiartment stores, laundries,
to city officials, officers of local grangea,
offieers of fraternal orders; in short, to
all the various types of organizations
that are willing to promote such an ef-
fort for the public good.

WHAT CAUSES SNORING.
When asleep, people that snore
breathe through the mouth instead of
the nostrils, which are choked with aa-
tareh. Just use "Catarrhozone" before
retiring and you'll quickly cure the
snoring habit. By destroying the cause
of catarrh and henling the membranes,
Catarrh makes a complete cure in ev-
ery case; it cleans the nostrils, stop
the discharge and prevents dropping in
the throat in a few tninutes. .Notning
so pleasant or certain to cure snoring, I

CARE or SKIN IN WINTER.
One Thing to be Insisted on is $
oral Use of Cold Cream.
Most persons weld think that emu -
ow with its crop of freekles end tan
must be the meson hardest upon the
skin, But wording to it writer in the
Queen winter with its cold, rough winda
and its penetrating .dirt from smoke
laden ganoephere is worse.
And to these the conetant change of
temperature from hot rooms to the cold
outer air, the tendency to sit and Sleep
in leo well ventilated rooms than in
summer, the probable sleekening of out-
door exercise, the ineren'sed periods of
artificial light, with under many condi-
tions its glare stud pollution of the at-
mosphere—all these fatta are direct en-
emies to the skin.
And the cure? Well, this may be sum-
med up briefly in cream, cream and still
morq -cream. Take the two great dam-
aging conditions, the drying up of the
natural grease by fires and hot rooms (a,
drying up not compensated in nature by
50 inereeae of secretion of perspiration,
as in the case of summer heat) and the
grime from the atmosphere. Obviously
an additional application of skin food
must be made in the first case to make
up for the wastage in the tissues due to
that drying process.
But the ordinary cleansing methods
with hot soap and water have just the
same practical results on the skin, only
more so, by forcibly extracting the nat-
ural grease. Therefore you find in the
winter, eapecially in towns, skins becom-
ing drier and harder and older almost
-
perceptibly, just because the secretions
of natural nutriment are always being
forcibly removed.
Nor does this constant washing even
achieve its own olds, for the grime,
which quickly penetrates through the
pores to the deep tissues, is unaffected
by it, and, indeed, imprisoned through
the consequent hardening of the sur-
face„ while the surface itself is rough-
ened, so, that it is ten times more ready
to catch the dirt in the atinosphere than
it was before, just as it rough cloth
gets sooner dirty than it soft satin.
Now, the remedy lies in people's own
hands. First of all, to exercise self-con-
trol and use as little water as Illay be,
relegating it entirely to a morning awl
evening sponge, when a good water soft-
ener, toilet water or similar preparation
should be added. Soap, if any, should
be used most sparingly, and chosen with
the utmost care, and on cream or skin
food the burden of cleansing should be
principally laid.
The chosen preparation should be ap-
plied freely to the face, carefully and
gently rubbed in, and removed after ten
%minutes with cotton wool. This should
be done three thues a day, and in midi-
stion a eleansing lotion should be kept
with which to rub the face over at inter-
vals during the day. A few drops of
good eu de cologne mixed in a little milk
forms a good wash of this sort if noth-
ing else is at hand, and I can only tell
you that you will reap more benefit to
the complexion by careful use of good
preparations during the bad weather
than in emetically any other way.
Health, of course, it the root of the
matter, and common sense will tell you
that any local remedies are useful only
in conjunction with attention to ques-
tions of hygiene. The temptation to
shut op vomits, -especially at night,
should therefore be strenuously resisted
in the cause of one's looks, while some
simple exercises should be regularly pur-
sued when a marked difference in the
amount of exercise taken is found be-
tween winter and summer.
There is no other point on which to
give practical help for the benefit of
those who go in for sports and games
in winter. These know full well the
painful burning .of the face which fre-
quently makes the evening after a day
in the saddle or on the links quite
misery. Anyone who suffers in this way
should simply cover her Owe with a
thick layer of face cream on coming in,
and leave it on for as long as poesibie,
all the time she is resting, having tea in
her rooms, and so on, the longer the
bet tor.
Teem when ibis time to dress, remove
the crenm gently nud thoroughly with
cotton wool, rub over with a special lo-
tion, if this is used, and finally powder
well, removing the powder too if none
is habitually used, or leaving jest the
tiniest trace on if suck be the usual
course. A fame so treated (absolutely
no water, you will see) will go quite
comfortably through the evening look-

Dealing with the protection a the
face, it may be well to mention that any
part specially exposed, as for instance
the nose, is more effectually protected
if some face cream is well rubbed into
the skin before the powder is applied.
T1118 is, again, specially useful where mo-
toring is concerned; hut it is well to re-
member that any steps which will pre-
vent damage from exposure are more
than repaid, for in the case of the face
it is specially true that prevention is,
better, and ten times easier, than e_ure.

made, not bought or sold, but obtained.
Long years we wait, and do not know,
then we meet to our surprise and joy.
What reserve is in the Divine hand, now
really true it is that purest joys are
stored up, and a gentle hant brings
these deep mysteries in sight. We see,
we grasp, we hold in the strength of

To her, my friend, about this sacred
light I spoke; she said she knew the
same. I must be thankful for guidance
and delight, she said; it is this light
that shows the way that loved ones
felt and knew to welcome pilgrims of
the night. Her words found entrance
at mine ears, great thought did my mind
possess. I breathed the air of heaven,
and when she went away I kaelt me
down and my face was wet with tears.
to the hills will lift mine eyes to
the dwellings of my Lord. where the
faithful are and the devout, who offer
with divine Record gifts of grateful
hearts, the highest praise and most
welcome tribute which ever can arise
from human hearts. Here prayer is
turned to praise. How beautiful it is
to be alive, to wake each morning, to
be alive, afresh, then to kneel Mose unto
Him, wbile every moment's joy helps
us more sweetly to see the height of
nobleness, join some dear one in the
glad procession, press the hand awl

Human words are slow and dull, and
fail to tell the thousandth part of the
deep love that rises ever, ever, ever.
If we love we live the lofty, noble life,
and words are poor and can never tell
the sweet meaning of eye to eye. This
is the truest life of holiness to lead.
Friends reveal to each other most clears
ly exactly that upon which they are
silent. It would not be life without
my friend; how could I live, what do,
without my light, this light burns up,
I know not why. Once it did not gleam
from the eye but now this ray follows
me, comes in my dream, a fragrant
flower from the garden of God. Only a
little can I say; sometimes I sigh. I
carry the full secret till I die. No wind
ean blow this light away; I shield it
with my hands'I hold it to my breast,

flame which comes from purest heaven.
