Ten Cent Account Forty Years Old. While as a general thing banks do not rejoice at the closing out of an ac- count, particularly an old one against which no checks have ever been drawn, there was an unanimous sigh of relief and general feeling of thankfulness at a nearby savings institution when an account of just this sort, which had its beginning 40 years ago, was withdrawn last week, however, for since 1372 this account has been an ever-increasing source of trouble. It amounted to ex- actly one dime, and was opened in 1872 by a boy of 12, who hoped to make it the nest -egg of fortune. He never made another deposit and the matter soon slipped his mind until recalled by a boyhood friend a few days ago. But in the forty years the dime has been placed to the depositor's account it has figured in many balance sheets, and its worth has been consumed many times over in the ink, paper and time given it by clerks who had to keep track of it. In all trial balances that stubborn dime had to be reckoned, and its withdrawal has ended an odd exis- tence rare in banking annals. As no interest is allowed in savings' banks on sums less than one dollar, the solitary coin in forty years in the bank did not increase. A boy reading the verse, "And those who live in cottages are happier than those who sit on thrones," startled the crowd by reading thus: "And those who live in cottages are happier than those who sit on thorns."

Naive Address HER SKIN SEEMED ON FIRE Every Other Treatment Failed But "Fruit -a -tires" Cures GRANDE.- LIGNE, Quit., Jan. 2nd, 1910. "My wife was greatly distressed for three years with chronic Eczema on the hands, and the disease was so severe that it almost prevented her from using her hands. The doctor gave her several ointments to use, but none of them did. any good. He also advised her to wear rubber gloves and she wore out three pairs without getting any benefit. As a last resort, I persuaded her to try "Fruit-a-tives", and the effect was marvellous. Not only did "Fruit•a- tives" entirely cure the Eczema. but the Asthma, which she suffered from, was also completely cured. We both attribute our present good health to "Fruit-a-tives". N. JOUBERT. "Fruit -a -fives" will always cure Eczema or Salt Rhenin because "Fniit- a-tives" purifies the blood, corrects the Indigestion and Constipation, and tones up the Nervous System. "Fruit-a-tives" is the only medicine in the world made of fruit juices and valuable tonics, and is the greatest of all blood -purifying remedies. 5oc. a box -6 for $2.$o -or trial size, 25c.

The Principal of the Roseworthy Col- lege in South Australia is, says an Australian correspondent of Hoard's Dairyman, very strong on the prospect of berseem or Egyptian clover, as a dairy fodder crop. This crop is called botanically Trifolium Alexandrinium, is a strong growing annual with succu- lent fleshy stems, and broad soft leaves but no lateral branches. At the time of the first cut, however, when the growth in about 16 inches in length, there appear at the base of this origin- al stem three or four side shoots, which shoot upwards at the first cut. It fol- lows, therefore, that the second and subsequent cuts mean better results. Berseem is by far the most important winter fodder in Egypt. This year at Roseworthy the fodder ran the guant- let of the heavy frosts, and made splen- did growth though the winter was dry and below the normal rainfall by four inches.

American Demand For Mohair Greatly Exceeds the Supply. In the mountainous regions of Asiat- ic 'Turkey is the nncient city of Ango- ra, celebrated for the king haired goats bred In that vicinity. ilere Angoras, the inost valuable of all breeds of goats, reaches its perfection. The fine- ness of its hair and the remarkable fact that many other animals in that region possess long, silky hair has been ascribed by some authorities to some peculiarity in toe atmosphere, the alti- tude or soil. At the present time there are iu the United States between 300,000 and 400, - MO Angoras of pure blood or high strain, and yet the domestic product of mohair does not equal the home de- mand by a large amount. Many dol- lars' worth of mohair is imported an- nually into the United States, and still in Texas alone there is sufficient moun- 1il111 land to raise not only all the mo- hair uow imported. but enough to ex- port several million dollars' worth an- nually, says Farm and stanch. There are four profits to the Ango- ra -the mohair. the increase, the fer- tilizer and the land they free from brush and weeds. There is a wide difference between the shearing weight and the shearing value of goats. Some will shear as much as fifteen pounds of mohair per year, but the Valued chiefly for their fleece, known to commerce as mohair, the Angora goat Is also valuable for its meat, which is claimed to be equal to the finest mutton, and Is espe- cially valuable and useful for its browsing qualities in clearing up undergrowth and brush..The flesh of Angoras that have fed upon brush, th-ir natural food, it is claimed, possesses a peculiarly gamy flavor highly prized by epicures. Pasha V., the Angora buck pictured, Is owned by C. P. Bailey & Sons, Texas. average for the United States is abou wo and one-half pounds. Some mo hair brings as much as $6.50 per pound, but the average is about 38 cents per pound. Mohair ranging from twelve inches to twenty inches in length brings from $3 to $0.50 per pound and is used to make doll's hair and wigs. Mohair under twelve inches in length is sold according to fineness and lus- ter and ranges in price from 35 to 55 cents per pound. The average shear- ing value of the American Angora is about $1 per bead, but there is more money in an Angora shearing $1 per head than in a sheep shearing $1.50 per head, because the goat is longer lived, is much hardier, is not liable to disease, the goat eats a greater va- riety of feed, will come to the sheds at night and have many advantages over the sheep. The Bull to Buy. A poor bull is an extravagance the dairy herd cannot afford. Buy a god bull. The price will not be prohibitive. He should have a good dam. Look Into her record. Keep him long enough to know whether or not his heifers are good milkers. If they are keep the bull. Breed the best of his Own grade heifers to him. A great many bulls, worth a fortune, go to the shambles before their real worth is known. -- Kansas Farmer. Hogs of Great Britain. The principal breeds of hogs in Great Britain are the Yorkshire, Berkshire, Tamworth, Suffolk and Essex, the last four of which are said to be deriva- tions and varieties of the Yorkshire.

British Wheat Imports. India, for probably the first tune in history, led all countries in the amount of wheat supplied to Great Britain during the first eleven months of 1911, India's contribution during that period was 18,766,000 long cwts., Russia cem, ing next with 16,960,CQ0, Argentine third with 14,823,000, Australia fourth with 12,823,000, Canada fifth with 12,- 284,000, and the United States sixth. with 10,929,000 long cwts, It is almost as much of a surprise to find Australia. leading Canada in these exports as to find India leading Russia. During the same period in 1910 Russia came first in the amount of wheat suppli(d Bri- tain, her contributions being 25,634,000 long cwts. while India came next with 16,121,001. In 1910, too, white Austra- lia furnished only 12,330,01'0 long cwts, of wheat to the British markets. Can- ada supplied 14,815,000 cwts. During the hunting season last Nov- ember it is estimated that over ten thousand bunters went into the High- lands of Ontario for deer and moose. There were 174 non-resident licenses issued, which covered the shooting of deer and moose. 9500 resident deer licenses and 640 resident moose licenses. Of course there were a great many more hunters in the woods than are represented by licenses, as every bona fide farmer north and west of Muskoka and Haliburton were entitled to kill one deer for their own use, without having to take out a license. The estimate is that probably ten thousand deer and moose were killed during the open sea- son. ++444.44.4.44.44.3.74.++++++++++++ ++++44-44141.4.444.444;++++++++++4, Z + + 40 + .1. ...
