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.

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.

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.

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.

Prospects for a bumper apple crop
in Lambton county are looming large,
and advice received by the Department

60,000 barrels. Prices at the different
associations vary according to the grade
from $2.00 to $2.50 for first and seconds,

Spies have brought $3.75 per barrel for
the best No. 1 grade. There is also
