They are short-lived and require re- placing every few years—not to mention continual patching to keep them in repair. The best of wood cannot withstand, for long, constant dampness and soaking. Its tendency to rapid decay soon shows itself in leaks and stagnant pools of water around trough. Contrast with •this the durability, cleanliness and well -ordered appearance of Concrete. • Onweiwealemem The dampness which destroys lumber only intensifies the strength and hardness of Concrete. You can impair a wooden trough with comparatively little use; but it takes a powerful explosive to'put a Concrete water tank out of business. - Which is your choice—expense-producing Wood, or money -saving Concrete? We'd be glad to send a copy of our book, "What the Farmer Can Do With Concrete,"--Free—if you'll ask for it. It tells the many uses of Concrete in plain, simple language—tells how to make Barns Cisterns Dairies Dipping Tanks Foundations Fence Posts Feeding Floors Gutters Hens' Nests Hitching Posts Horse Blocks Houses Poultry Houses Root Collars Silos Shelter Walls Stables Stairs Stalls Steps Tanks Troughs Walks Wall Curbs Canada Cement Co. Limited 51-60 National Bank ,Building, Montreal emesememeasseereensmeesenemses Mr, David Starr Jordan, In an ad- dreee in Buffalo, declared that he wag willing to stake hie reputati'n as a prophet, inwaking the prediction, that there ears never be war among the greatruatione of the world. The noted educator from California gave the reason for his prophecy, "The war debt of Europe today is enormous," he eald. "A group Of the world's greatestbankers are the cre- ditors, These bankers control the nations, Their intere3te aro inters twined with those of tbe nations. They will not permit the nationa to go to war because present day war is socostly-, and their interests will be threatened." According to Dr. jordan, Italy's ease is an etseepticn. "When Italy discovered it was unable to borrow money," he said, "it offered collateral ar d went to secure the collateral, I have been told this by an inside source," The biggest coat of war, he de- clares, ie not paid for in the war titre; the bill.] come later. There is the destruction of the virility, the force and the character of the nation," he declared. "There is the killing off of the strong and the necessary breed- ing from what remains—•the weak, This is what has dragged down vari- ous nations of the world. Three mil- lions and seventy thousand men— this is the estimate—fell in Napoleon's campaigns. No wonder the life of Europe is impoverished. To get rid of slavery it cost the States 050,000 lives. And this number, almost a million on the north and south, was the beet the nation could bring. The gaps they left are filled toall appearances. But the men that died in 'the weary time' had better stuff in them than the father of the average man to- day." ,±111 r`ri, saeI arla..z w•••ao far r � .9124,c, lir Mir Mom aNaMiaramt z Paid lip; . ..... $ 2,750,000 d Redivided Pronto . 3,230,000 e 40,000,0oe offering an incentive to save, t affords a safe and coo• keeping the exeumu- ount Imper- sav- de. your small. Heaad Office: AMILTON AN ACRE TO SIXTEEIf Pf $ Com Hoge lie Rnlsed Cheaper With or Without Pasttlrol Can hogs be raised cheaper with or without pasture? There is only one tnswor to this question. most as; luredly, by using a pasture. In plan, ring the frog pasture each individual must be governed by his circum- stances and the conditionson his 'arm. If one is situated in the timber sr bush districts it iswell to fence a field and depend upon the natural vegetation of grass, weeds, vetches, wild pea Vine and roots, which grow upon all bush land, On the open prairie, where one is using every available acre for grain,^.] field .should Se fenced and sown to mixed barley and rape for pasture -- an acre to every sixteen growing pigs. It is best to divide the pasture and keep your frogs in each half week about. By using woven wire fencing, the field can be easily moved each year,. and by doing this they will manure the field as well as gather their own feed. It is well to keep a Held of parsnips for late fall and spring pasture, allowing the. hogs to root up and gather the whole plant. Along with the pasture hogs should receive a small amount of grain, plen- ty of pure water and some sort of shade. I! for any cause one is unable :o fence a pasture, he should by all means grow some • green stuff to cut and feed in the pens — all the hog's will eat, Another good practice .is to grow a supply of green feed, such as alfalfa and pea vines; also roots, suck as turnips, sugar beets and parsnips, to teed , during the winter, Thts will balance up the grain ration and keep the hogs thrifty and growing. APPEAL TO YOUNG MEN. Thomas Carlyle tells us that the history of nations is the history of their great men. The two are in - 'reparably interwoven. Men of cour age, ideal and foresight, by qualities inherent and acquired, become leaders in local and national affairs, and shape the destines of countries. In a coun- try of the common people like Cana- da, no artificial barriers exist that can prevent the young man who wills to do so, from sharing honorably in public affairs. Ile may aspire to any and every position. Opportunities of service are not for the dreamer, but for those who qualify by doing coni - mon things uncommonly well; not for those born with a silver spoon in their mouths, but rather for those who graduate through the university of adversity. There are two kinds of discontent. One is of a grumbler, for- ever being as he fancies, "put upon, over -looked and slighted ; and the other who, in every lesson and effort of to -day, however trying, discovers something cheering and helpful for to -morrow. I am not kicking about my work or my hours, or fay wages, says ane of the latter, "but can I do this task any -better ? I want to under- stand this machine so well that when something goes wrong I can act as my own expert. I wish to avoid another failure in that grain field by discover- ing the reasons for twenty bushels to the acre, when across the fence the yield was forty Bushels. I am glad to work.hard, but I do not propose to be a cipher, absorbed in small talk or worse, of the neighborhood, when from good men, good books and periodicals and good thinking I can increase my knowledge and ability to do things. I can work among the earth clods without being one. I will shape them and make them serve me, but they shall not govern me. -,•r.-•r Postoffice' Decision.

Caused Death of hundreds of Cattle In PIctou Co, N.S., the death of hundreds of cattle has been caused In past years by a disease brought on by eating "Stinking Willie" or "Rag- wort," a weed that when first found In Nova Scotia was not regardedas serious. A11 of the "Stinking Willie" in Plctou and adjoining counties has been traced to a single plant that grew on the shores of Northumber- land Strain, probably coming there from drift wood. Had that one weed been plucked by some observing farm- er thousands of dollars would have been saved to the farmers of Pictou county. We must recognize new weeds as a menace. Many of our worst weeds when first introduced were not re- garded as serious because they were so few in number. On this point Mr. Glendinning recently in conversation remarked: "I take even greater pre- cautions to keep the farm free from new weeds than in fighting the old ones already there. In the old weeds, we know what we have to cope with and we do' -with them the best we can. The new weeds may or may not be- come serious, but we are on the safe side and may save ourselves much future trouble by getting rid of them." It is to our interest to view with suspicion any new weed that appears. We need to study the weed problem and keep clear of new weeds? Any weeds that may appear, and we know not their nature, should .be sent to either the Dominion or Provincial De- partment of Agriculture, there to be Identified for us. We are well advised to take no chances with any new weeds, since often a wed that has ex- isted for years in one district with- out becoming a serious pest may soon be numbered with the most injurious in another section. , McKay And Rowell. Considerable dissatisfaction is open- ly expressed in the Liberal ranks over tbe leadership of N. W. Rowell, K. C., and no secret is made of the possi- bility of another change when the Legislature opens the first week in February.. A number of Liberal mem- bers -elect are in the City, and an under current of feeling is manifest in parliamentary ciircles, Mr. Rowell in his policy did not declare himself on the matters for which he bas posed as champion for years, and hie followers are greatly disappointed. Those who are in close touch with Liberal affairs declare that before Parliament opens Ontario Liberalism will again undergo a severe shaking up. They even go so far as to say that Hon. A. G. Mac- kay will be asked to 'again assume charge, while the name of Hugh Guthrie, M,P., is also mentioned. GREATEST MEDICINE ON EARTH. A prominent citizen en o!

Viltrilbma HORSE NAGGING Sound Sense from a horseman It is a very common thing to see a. man driving a horse along the road at its highest speed, kept up by a con- tinuous twitching of the rein, or tap- ping, of the whip, or both; when he stops, he stops the horse suddenly,. and starts with a full burst of speed. It is not so much fast driving that I wish to condemn as the manner in which it is done. When you see a horse driven as just mentioned, you will notice that it lasts about two years and is then considered as "knocked out" for the roads; a new horse is bought and he, too, goes through the same grind. It has not been the number of miles such a horse has gene, nor the num- ber of beatings, nor starvation, but the continual "nagging" that limited his usefulness to two years. What I mean by nagging is any process that keeps a horse continually nervous. Some people delight to keep a horse "on his nerve" or "showing his mettle," little thinking they are prac- ticing as dire cruelty as the man who used a club on his low bred horse. Ritchie & Cosens REAL ESTATE AND INSURANCE KEEP BOARS ON EARTH, FLOOR If there is any 'secret about keep- ing large hogs on their feet in good condition it is that they bo Kept on a ground floor. Recently one of the editors of Farm and Dairy looked ever the farm and stock on Messrs. D. C. Flatt and Son's place, 'Went- worth Co., Ont. While looking through the piggeries he noticed that the boars were kept on a loose ground floor. "When on the earth," said Mr. Platt, "their feet keep in fine con- dition. They cannot steed a week on cement." These hogs were of a tremendous size, but, liotwitliatending their size, they were as active and as supple as voting pigs. They exercised and moved about with a fine carriage, and Mr. nett gave hia assurance that if al- lowed out of • their pens they would outrun a man.
