The following poem by Rev. rather Ityau, was" a favorite of the late Sir John A. Macdonald :— My feet are tired, and my hands are tired, My soul oppressed. And I desire, what I have Long de- sired, Rest, only rest. 'Tie hard to toil, when toil is almost vain, In barren ways, 'Tie hard to sow, and never gather grain In harvest days. The burden of my days is hard to bear, But God knows best, And I have prayed, but vain has been my prayer, For root, sweet rest. 'Tie hard to plant in spring, and never reap, For autumn yield. 'Tie hard to till, and .then to weep, O'er fruitless field, And so I cry, a weak and human cry, With heart oppressed, And so I sigh, a weak and human sigh, For rest, for rest. My way has wound across the desert years, And cares infest My path, and through hot and flow- ing tears I pine for rest. I was always so, when but a child, On mother's breast I laid my weary little head, e'en then as now I prayed for rest. And I am 'settees still ; 'twill soon be o'er. For `down the west Life's sun is Betting, and I see the shore Where I shalt rest. Beef go Cts. A Popnd. Mr. J. A. Watt of Salem, Out.. it will be remembered won the prize for the junior champion bull at the Chi- cago Live Stock Show, "Victor," the winning entry, declared by judges to be the greatest steer ever awarded the grand championship, was on Dec. 7th, shorn of his blue ribbons, and hard- won laurels, and transformed Into beef steak. After winning all the honors that it is possible for a steer to win, Victor was put on the block and sold at auction to the highest bidder. Tho bidding was spirited from the start, and the the animal was finally sold to a departmental store at ninety cents a pound, the highest price ever paid for a grade champion. Str ;fight Talk. Father Vaughan of London in a sermon in Toronto, on Sunday, de- nounced race suicide, which was find- ing its way even in Ontario, as a blight on the Empire, and foretold the day when, if it were permitted to con- tinue, the death roll would one day exceed' the birth rate, and an Iinperial decline set in. The other pest of na- tional life was the steady increase of the gambling instinct. Father Vaug- han characterized the race suicide question as one of phenomenal im- portance not only to the moralist, but to the sanitarian. "It is an outrage on the laws of nature," he said, "and, These laws cannot be outraged with impunity. Believe me when I tell you that the physical human organism takes its revenge for every abnormal or' vicious abuse of its functions : over- eating, over -drinking and immoral living have each to pay their toll in the disease, wreckage, and shortening of life. Let me say that the young man or wife who 'adopts measures which result in the prevention of the normal functions of the processes or reproduction are in no sense exempt from the law I have just cited. Surely even so low a motive as a wish to escape the pains and penalties at- tached to the hideous practices I hal e referred to ought to make all married people shun these as they would a tiger's fangs. "I Suffered Years With My Back." Backache resulting from'weak kiancys, a bad cold or other cause, usually renders the sufferer unfit for work and often results in per- manent disability. "I suffered for years with my back, or kidney trouble, and have tried a number of remedies from different physicians. More than a year ago, one of our local druggists induced me to try Dr. Miles' Anti -Pain Pills and after using them some three months I found a decided improve- ment in my kidneys, and I am glad to say that I hope soon to be fully restored to health." J. P. ALLEN', Ex -Judge City Court, Glasgow, Ky. As long as pain is present in any part of the body rest is impossible and the system becoming weakened is exposed to any form of disease to which the sufferer may be inclined. Dr. Miles' Anti -Pain Pills by steadying the irritated nerve centers, make refreshing sleep pos- sible, thereby enabling the body to recover lost strength. As a remedy for pain of any description Dr. Miles' Anti -Pain Pills are mum. passed. s +t told by ail dru ins arldar s guar" urate aaturinp the return of thr uric' H taro f*rst box If no b.nent multi.

Twenty years ago only two or three factorles in Prince Edward Island were making butter and cheese and that to a very limited extent. Cir- eumatances forced us farmers into dairying. About that time the farms became exhausted to such an extent by the growing of cereals and sending them away to the neighboring pro- vinces that farming became unpro- fitable and discouraging to the youth- ful generation of our province. We were anuually losing a considerable number of the prime of our young manhood. The government was quick to see the trouble and decided to establish a cheese factory on the cooperative system at New Perth, Queen's Coun- ty, and pay the manager of the factory for a limited time. Other parts of the province soon became enthusiastic over the matter and formed cooper- ative factories nearly all over the Island until they were almost crowd- ing each other out. We farmers be- came educated to the conservation of our soil by keeping more stock and feeding the productsof our farms at. home instead of sending our raw material to the neighboring provinces to build the farms there. We farmers have awakened to the possibilities of our sell and the con- servation of our farms has been taken up in earnest. One travelling through our farming sections where dairying is most practised will see a marked improvement in the farms and people. GEO. PERLEY Mr. Perley though a business man is a country man at heart and spends his vacations amongst the beautiful streams of Ontario.. We are happy and comfortable. We have proved that our farms can be restored to their former fertility by feeding the products of the soil on the farm and at the same time we can increase our own wealth. If our own' farmers will only continue in the business, which has lifted many of us from poor circumstances to prosperity, it will only be a few years until more of the world will envy the name long ago given to our province, the "Garden of. the Gulf." WILD , OATS AND WINTER 1Yi11 Frosts In Winter Kill Oats That Are Left in the Land. Winter frosts will not kill wild oats, unless they had germinated the previous season. Frost will not des- troy the germinating power of thor- oughly matured grains unlessthey have been very moist before .frost came. Get the wild oats to germinate in the fall. Then the frost will finish them. ^ We would advise plowing down a piece of wheat badly infested with wild oats, as a green manure. Of course, you must be guided by cir- cumstances, but in all cases do not let wild oats, or any other noxious weed, produce seed. In fact, wild oats should be turned under before theyare headed out. . It is usually very destructive to the spring wheat plant to allow stock to pasture 3t in the spring. After pasturing it may come on and grow to a good crop, but the stock destroy considerable by pulling it up, and trampling it with their feet, to say nothing of the damage done by biting off the young plants. It is very poor policy to let stock on a wheat field. BLADDER CAMPION A BAD IYEE.D A weed that is becoming very se- rious in many parts of Ontario is the bladder Campion. It is a deep-rooted perennial, and unless taken in good time becomes a very serious pest. It has appeared' oniony farm recently. I know It did not come in seed grain, and the only explanation is that it was carried• there by birds. 7dnless, therefore, we are content to have bladder campion a Constant menace, neighbors must cooperate In destroy- ing the weeds. When first found in a district this Weed is comparatively easy to over- come. If it is spudded out. and a handful of salt put in the hole, the plant is killed effectually. I drive around my farm quite frequently look- ing for weeds and always Carry a pail of salt and a spud. Those who have seen what a pest bladder camplon '1a ht some districts, as I have, take every precaution to keep it out of their own.

Five Thousand ($25,000) Dollars that is the objective of the Christmas Stamp Committee. The first issue of stamps was three millions.

TJnder the direction of their superior officers, they are planning to do real substantial work in the selling of amps, between now and the end of the year. Liv- ing up to their motto that each scout shall each day do some kindness to another, the boys have resolved that this slogan can in the selling of Christmas wellmade help on the groat work being done for needy consumptives in the Muskoka Free Hospital for Consumptives.
