FbLI0TT, PrRE SUER AND PROPIETO8. THURSDAY OCTOBER 17, 1912. EDITORIAL NOTES A lifetime's experience has taught us that good crops are hardly ever so good, nor poor crops so bad, as they are expected to prove. The tendency is to exaggerate either way. Then, too, Dame Nature has a wonderful fac- ulty of evening things up, so that bal- ances come out on somewhere near a normal plane in the final reckoning. Tha moral of it is to peg steadily away, doing the best one knows how and keep- ing a stiff upper lip. Grit wins. -Far- mer's Advocate. MOTHERS NEED CONSTANT STRENGTH. To Care for the Growing Family, and Her Household Cares. When there is a growing family to care for and the mother falls ill, it is a serious matter. Many mothers who are on the go from morning to night, whose work, apparently, is never done, heroically try to disguise their suffer- ings, and keep an appearance of cheer- fulness before their family. Only themselves know how they are distress- ed by headaches and backaches, drag- ging down pains and nervous weakness; how their nights were often sleepless, and they arise to a new day's work tired, depressed and unrefreshed. Such mothers should know that these suffer- ings are usually due to a lack of good nourishing blood. They should know that the thing above all others they need to give them new health and strength is rich, red blood, and that among all medicines there is none can equal Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for their blood -making, health restoring qualities. Every suffering woman, every woman with a home and family to care for should give these pills a fair trial, for they will keep her in health and strength, and make her work easy. Here is strong proof that these Pills do what is claimed for them. Mrs. Henry Thomas Dryden, Ont„ says: "When my second child was born I was so weak and run down that I could scarcely walk across a room. My baby was small and weak also, and cried and worried night and day until I discover- ed that the child was starving, as my nurse had turned almost to water. My husband got me a supply of Dr. Willi- ams' Pink Pills, and I began taking them. The first beneficial effects were noticed in that my child began to thrive, as my nurse began to improve, and baby slept better and naturally. It was not long until I began to feel the improve- ment myself, and I daily gained new strength. and baby was growing very rosy and fat. I continued using the Pills while I was nursing him and found myself with all the vigor of good health, and able to easily do my housework, which had been so great a drag on me before. I am now never without Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in the house, and take an occasional dose when I feel tired. I can strongly recommend these Pills to all nursing women, especially if weak or run down." Sold by all medicine dealers or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co. Brockville, Ont. Whoever has visited the West, and observed at first hand the actual work- ing of land value taxation, becomes firmly convinced of its value. With the conviction comes the wonder that the East has not yet discovered the jus- tice and profit of the principle. It is no longer in any sense an experiment, but has been proved worthy after years of practical experience. In all of the three west•ermost Provinces, it is diffi- cult to -day to find a man who does not fully endorse the new taxation princi- ple. The testimony of the tried is the most convincing of all arguments. -Ot- tawa Citizen. Commenting on the Federal by-elec- tion in Macdonald, Manitoba in which the Conservative candidate was elected, the Winnipeg Free Press says: -Agen- cies and influences, neither by law nor by any considerations' of fair fighting on the part of the Government forces, were displayed. The Free Press adds that Macdonald is not only the strong- est Conservative district in Manitoba, but includes a large number of polls which lend themselves readily and joy- ously to methods which Roblin and Rog- ers primarily rely to secure victory and declares that the result should not dis- courage those responsible for forcing the fight, and that Manitoba Liberal- ism is "steadily hardening into a mili- tant and disciplined force that will yet overthrow the Cossack government which tyranizes over this province." The Tribune, published by the defeat- ed candidate Monday afternoon says that reciprocity is still "the liveliest corpse that stalks through the west," and says that the result will but strengthen the determination of the people of the west to keep the sword unsheathed un- til the fetters of high protection and trade restriction are stricken from their limbs. The Tribune is not sur- prised at the result, and says that "money and whiskey flowed like an ar- tesian well." One Cent Stamp Books. The convenience of the general public will be served by an extension of the postal facilities now under consideration by the Postoffice Department. It is proposed to issue one -cent stamp books on the same principle as now obtains in the case of two -cent stamps. The lat- ter have been issued for some years in books of twelve for twenty-five cents in convenient vest-pocket form, and have proved a great boon, especially for travellers. The growth of the picture postcard business and the one -cent drop - letter rate in cities have created a de- mand for a similar issue of one -cent stamp books, and they will probably be issued by the department next year.

Scat h >towae, Toronto, Ontario 12 -SS AUTUMN. The harvest moon rides bright and clear. Midst fleecy islets of the night, Pale purple mists enshroud each hill, And cap the mountain's giddy height. SUPERINTENDENTS OF CO. W.C.T.U. Bright sunlight paints the trees with geld, And every idirescent hue, While streamlets wander through the glade, Limned by the shy's reflected blue. Gay leaves lie thick on woodland paths, The nimble squirrel quickly hies To where in some tall stately tree, His winter store all safely lies. Pale purple asters deck the fields, In splendor gleams the near hill side, With sunset and the golden rod Where ghostly shadows furtive glide. But housed beside the "Ingle Nook," We safe from wintry storms can bide, Sweet converse hold with some loved guests Who sit responsive by our side. -Robert Stark.

USES OF LIME. Ideals, The thing we long for -that we are For one transcendent moment! Before the Present, poor and bare, Can make its sneering comment. Longing is God's fresh heavenward Will With our poor earthward, striving. We quench it that we may still Content with merely living; But would we learn that heart's full scope Which we are hourly wronging, Our lives must climb from hope to hope And realizes our longing. Still through our paltry stir and strife Glows down the wished ideal, And longing molds in clay and Life Carves in marble real! To let the new life in -we know Desire must ope the portal; Perhaps the longing to be so Helps to make the soul immortal. -James Russell Lowell* How many know that air slacked lime dusted into places where it is not convenient to whitewash, is death to mold? How many farmers know that, if they are caught in a shower with a load of hay, a light sprinkle of air - slacked lime will prevent it from turn- ing musty, and that it is a benefit rather than an injury to the stock? How many know that a dusting of air -slacked lime applied to potato tops on a damp morning in the summer will prevent potato blight? I begin the prevention by dusting with lime as soon as the potatoes are cut. This not only lessens the chance of the seed rotting, but is a cheap fer- tilizer, and a preventative against grubs. Then when I harvest my potatoes I sprinkle an occasional handful as I empty them directly into the cellar. I haul them directly from the field and have no more handling them, only as required for sale, use, or planting. Be- fore I adopted this plan I used to have to sort the rotten ones out at intervals during the winter. I put the lime treatment to the test in a small way before adopting it wholesale to hundreds of bushels as I do now. Upward of 20 years ago I had some Beauty of Hebron potatoes, and many of us know how suseptible they are to rot. They be- gan to rot, and I put the lot in a box with lime sprinkled in. The others I put in a box without any lime. The unlimed ones rotted so badly that they became a mass of curruption. The lime -treated ones came out dry; and wherever a spot of disease had begun it had dried up. I consider no farmer's home to be well-equipped without a barrel of lime stored in a dry place. ---James M. Mun- ro in The Canadian Bee Journal. Mrs. Ed. Seip of Berlin died suddenly while visiting her mother. Wm. II. Fix of Waterdown met death in a peculiar accident near Hamilton by falling into a tree. John Burr of Sarnia, a Bell Telepnone lineman, was killed by a fall as the re- sult of a shock. LANGSIDE, Some of the farmers in this section are packing their own apples.

LIVE STOCK MARKETS. Toronto, Oct. 15 -Trade was good, with a better demand for cattle of all grades than any day last week. The run was heavy,- and while there was freer buying, prices were not quotably higher, though a firmer feeling all round. A few of the choicest cattle sold around $6 to $6.15, but the general run was from $5.70 to $5.80 for good to medium butcher cattle. Lambs were firm at $6.25 top. Sheep steady. Hogs are not offering so freely as the packers expected they would be, and to -day prices were advanced 10c. to $8.35 fed and watered, $8 f. o. b„ and $8.60 delivered off cars.
