Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTOR1A THE W'INGIIAM, TIMES, JUNE 13, 1912 Putting the Blankets Away. When washing blankets preparatory to putting away, select a sunshiny, windy day for the washing. Shave a bar of any good white soap into half a tubful of quite warm water, add a half cupful of salt and two tablespoonfuls of ammonia. Have the blankets well freed from dust and lint by vigorous shaking, and put into the tub one at a time, sousing up and down, pounding, squeezing, and rubbing any soiled spots lightly between the hands. Do not put soap on a blanket, or rub on the wash- board. When the water looks dirty, and the blanket clean, squeeze all the water possible out of the wool and put into another tub of water prepared in the same way as the first. In the sec- ond tub repeat the sousing, pounding and squeezing, and when taking it out, squeeze dry as possible, as you did the first' time; then put into rinse water and continue the process; if the first rinse water is much soapy, run it through another clear water. The tem- perature of all the waters must be the same throughout. Then fold square lengthwise, run through the wringer, and there will be no wrinkles or mis- shapen corners. Hang in the sun by the side edges, pinning at short inter- vals to the line. When the top edge is dry, turn and pin the other edge, thus drying evenly. If the blanket is hand- led right, using water of the same tem- perature, it will not be apt to shrink. Modesty, A man may sing his ego, proclaim his merits with a gong, and fool the folks a while; but they will weigh him in the end, size up his calibre and send him to the old junk pile. To gather in some fame or pelf the cheap man al- ways boosts himself and makes a won- drous noise; but noise soon bores his fellow men and fills them with the will- ies; then he's outlawed by the boys. I've met some fellows really great; some guys who reached a high estate in letters or in art; and shy and modest were they all -no banners on the outer wall no mannerisms smart. And I have met some cheaper guys who thought this planet and the skies re- sounded with their fame; ah, they were made of fifier dust! Their chests were swelled up fit to bust, their heads swelled up the same. A little while, throughout the town, the selling -plat- ers hold renown, and then they sink and slip; at last they join the has-been clan and have no friend in mortal man since they have lost their grip. The influence of men of worth goes shining over all the eanh as shines the summer sun; it needs no carvival of noise to gain attention from the boys, or hold it when its won. -Walt Mason.

A. GOODALL • DMONTON, ALTA., Nov. loth. telt "I have been a sufferer since baby- hood from that terrible complaint, Constipation. I have been treated by physicans, and have taken every medicine I heard of, but without the slightest benefit. I finally concluded that there was no remedy in the world that could cure Constipation. About this time, I heard about "Fruit- a-tives" and decided to try them. The effect was marvellous. The first box gave mereat relief, and after I had used a few boxes, I found that I was entirely well. "Fruit-a-tives" is the only medicine that ever did me any good and I want to say to all who suffer as I did -"Try this fruit medicine and you will find - as I did -a perfect cure" (Miss) E, A.

Dairy Briefs. From Farm Journal (Philadelphia): Keep up the brushing even while the cows are on pasture. There will al- ways be some little stuff clinging to the cow's side, where she has lain down on the ground. It is most important that the dairy herd have -plenty of pure water. If water is not abundant and pure the profits will be cut in two, or cut out altogether. Keep the spring holes in the pas- tures clean, and make the approaches safe. Water is a necessity in aiding the digestion and assimilation of solid food. • The aim should be to make each heifer better than her dam; The calf should be taken from the cow 'very soon after birth. It learns to drink much more easily than if left several days with the cow. The calf should always receive the colostrum or first milk of the cow. This starts the digestive organs into action. By using a little patience a calf can be taught to drink quickly by letting it suck the finger held in the milk. Be sure that the milk is of the same tem- perature at each feeding. The young calf's stomach is sensitive, and good results can only be had when the milk is fed at blood heat, or the temperature that it comes from the cow. When the calf is two weeks old some skim -milk may be added to the usual feeding. A western farmer, Mr. Herbert Wright of Highwater, Sask., seems to have got the right idea of things. With 7,000 bushels of frozen wheat on his hands, marketable only at forty cents, he has come east and bought hogs to feed it to. Ile has already shipped more than 540 hogs which he picked up cheaply from the Ontario farmers who have no feed. He states tlLat he expects to double the value of the wheat. WAS TROUBLED WITH HIS HEART HAD TO GIVE UP WORK Mr. Alfred Male, Eloida, Ont., writes: "I was troubled with my heart for two or three years. I thought sometimes that I would die. I went to the doctor, and he said he could not do anything for me. I had to give up work. My wife persuaded me to try Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills. The first box relieved me, so I kept on until I had taken seven boxes, and they cured are. I would not be without them on any account, as they are worth their weight in gold. I advise my friends and iTeigh- bors who arc troubled with heart or nerve trouble to try them."

There are human beings, such g in- habitants of the Murray islands, i the strait of Torres, that cannot count fur- ther than two. 13ut, most surprising still, most animals possess calculating abiiities, and several have a distinct appreciation of number. In certain alines of Ilainault the horses are so used to traversing the same road thirty, times that after their last round they go to the stable of their own accord and refuse to take another step. Mon- taigne says that the•oxen employed in the royal gardens of Susa for turning the wheels to which the water pails were attached absolutely refused to Make mote than a hundred rounds, which constituted their daily task. A close observer has definitely estab- lished the fact that magpies and rooks cannot count further than four. A rook never returns to its nest until it is quite satisfied that there is no dan- ger near. When four hunters or less departed In succession from a nearby log cabin the rook would return to its nest after the last had gone out of sight. But whenever there were more the bird lost count and returned to its nest even while some were still in the hut. Similarly apes do not count further than four, and the Boers of the Trans- vaal when they want to hunt these ani- mals hide in numbers exceeding four. Four depart in succession in such a manner as to he noticed by the apes, who then conn '.••tb and are easily captured. -Clic 440,4 e -s. -..--••••••••••••••••r. FIRST PiiiN i ER'S DEVIL. He Was a Young Negro Slave Em- ployed by Aldus Manutius. Aldus "Mauritius, who in 1488 set up his office in Venice, has long been fa- mous as the first of the publishers or the famous Aldine classics, which to- day are so highly prized by book col- lectors. He was the author of a Latin grammar, a Greek dictionary and a treatise on the metrical methods of the poet Horace and originated the form of type known by us as Italic and by German printers as "cursive" type. He is also said to be responsible for the name of "printer's devil," almost worldwide in its application to the youngest boy in the office. A young negro slave employed iu his office who was so very black and dirty that his natural ugliness had become an almost fiendish expression became feared and known all over Venice as "the little black devil," and Manutius at last real- ized that the.boy and himself had dan- gerously awakened the superstitious fears and dislike of the more ignorant Venetians. He accordingly formally exhibited him during a whole day on the public streets and had the criers make this proclamation throughout the city: "I, Aldus Manutius, printer to the holy church and the doge, have this day made public exposure of the print- er's devil. All who think he is not flesh and blood may come and prick him." -Charles Winslow Hall in Na- tional Magazine. Don't Call it Slang. A Cleveland man who has lived for a number of years recently got it into his head that he alight die one of these days and that it would be well if he wrote his autobiography ere that sad event occurred, as one might say. So he sat down and wrote many pages and took those pages to a local pub- lisher. After the manuscript had been in the latter's hands for some time the author called him up. "This is Bjones," be explained gen- ially. "Who's Bjones?" came the reply. "Bjones, you know-Bjones of East tlmpth street, whose autobiography you are publishing. Ah -1'm a little short this week. Could you let me have something in advance?" "Not on your life!" And you may think the printer was slangy, but he wasn't, -Cleveland Plain -beater. Split Infinitives. To sometimes in an emergency or when laboring under a great mental stress split an infinitive may be excus- able, but to deliberately or wantonly or with malice prepense tear its parts asunder or to cruelly divorce the help- less and dependent "to" from her verb- al spouse is severely condemned by purists. The general practice, however, is said to have prevailed among stand- ard English authors since the seven- teenth century. -Boston Globe. A Fighting Chance. "So you think the author of this play will live, do you?" remarked the tour- ist. "Yes," replied the manager of the Frozen Dog Opera House. "He's got a five mile start, and I don't think the boys kin ketch him." -Life. including the Wedding Fee.

High prices for all grain feeds and the failure of ;clover on many farms have charged a large number of feed- ers of hogs to look for forage crops which with a light grain ration will produce fairly rapid gains at a moder- ate cost. Investigations at the Ohio. Experiment Station have shown rape to be one of the very best crops for this use if clover is not available. Six pigs, weighing about forty-five pounds each at the beginning of the test, were kept on slightly less than one-quarter of an acre of rape for•elev- en weeks, During this time the pigs received 82i pounds of a mixture of nine parts, by weight, of ground corn to one part tankage, and gained 369 pounds in weight Another plot, more fertile than this one, yielded an even more luxuriant growth of rape, and showed a larger carrying capacity. The rape from the better plot show- ed a replacement value of over $48 an acre when the gains produced and con- centrates consumed by pigs, some re- ceiving corn alone and some receiving corn and tankage, and by •similar pigs fed corn and tankage in dry lot, were compared. In this calculation corn was valued at fifty-six cents per bush- el, and tankage (sixty per cent. crude protein) at $48 per ton. At Canadian prices for corn and tankage, rape for hog feeding would have a greater value than $48 an acre,.
