ELLIOTT, PUBLtrHER AND PaoPIETOR THURSDAY. DECEMBER 12. 1912 ABOLISH THE SENATE. [GODERICH SIGNAL.] Is it not time for the Liberal party of Canada to inscribe afresh upon its ban- ners the motto, "Abolish the Senate"? The Senate is well-nigh useless at any time. Sometimes it may be harmfully obstructive. It is easy to imagine cir- cumstances in which it might be a men- ace to popular government. Always it is an expense. It is out of joint with modern institu- tions. If the democracy of Canada can- not be trusted to rule through its elect- ed representatives, without the inter- ference of an assembly of political fail- ures, misfits and hasbeens, we might as well conclude that democratic govern- ment in Ca lade is an impossibility and hark back t ' the days of plutocracy and star chamb; r rule. Either the Canadian Senate is a ridic- ulous inst•itetion or our belief in re- presentative institutions is only a pre- tence. Farmers Have no Political Power. MAKING SHEEP RAISING PROFIT- ABLE. In their report on the sheep industry the commissioners who investigated it on behalf of the Dominion Government state, among other things, that sheep in this country are, as a rule, poorly housed and poorly fed, that severe losses are sustained through lack of proper care during the winter season and that from shearing to marketing no country in the world handles its wool in a worse manner. Besides pointing out these weaknesses of many Canadian sheep raisers the commissioners report fully upon the state of the industry of Greet Britain and describe how Old Country shepherds handle their flocks. Evidences of a definite object in breeding opera- tions, they state, are to be found on every hand, a certain demand being kept in view and every effort made to build up a reputation, and afterwards to hold it. A farmer there may keep sheep of the breed popular in the dist- rict and although they may not be eli- gible for record in an Association Flock Book they are very highly bred and young ewes are sold at very remuntra- tive prices to neighboring farmers for crossing purposes. For producing early lambs the ewes are bred to lamb soon after New Year's. Male lambs not in- tended for the early trade are always wethered. Besides grass pastures such crops as kale, vetches, rape, cabbage and turnips are grown for the sheep. These are often sown in succeeding per- iods in season so that when one is con- sumed another is ready thus providing fresh feed a great part of the summer. The sheep are not allowed to forage over large areas but are often kept within portable fences which are moved periodically to take in new patches. The same thoroughness is exercised in the treatment of the flock throughout the winter with the result that sheep keeping is a highly profitable branch of English agriculture. The report of the Sheep Commission is rich in information of the greatest value to persons interested in any branch of the sheep industry. Copies are still available for distribution to those who apply for them to the Publications Branch of the Department of Agricul- ture at Ottawa. There i. no public, or semi-public position in Canada, outside of those occupied by the Premier and Leader of the Opposition, as important as that of Pro sident of the Canadian Man- ufacturers Association. The above statement appeared re- cently in Industrial Canada, the organ of the Canadian Manufacturers' Asso- ciation. The boas : made in that statement is not withoue justification. If the im- portance of a position is to be gauged by the influence attached thereto, the statement quoted is justified by the facts. No man outside of Premier Bor- den or the Leader of the Opposition at Ottawa, has so much influence in shap- ing legislation as has the official spokes- man of the manufacturing interest. This is nor because of the importance of that interest as compared with others. Either in value to the State, in extent of capital employed, or in employment given, the manufacturing interest is not to be compared with that of agri- culture. As W. J. Bryan once said, in speaking of the United States, where the two interests are more nearly equal than they are here. "You might burn up every city in the land and the nation would still survive, but if the farms were destroyed the whole country would become a desert." But the manufacturing interest is without pol- itical prejudices; farmers are saturated with such prejudices. Hence it is that the protected interest weilds such vast political influence while farmers possess so little. Had the result of the last Dominion election been different, had the farmers been so united as were the beneficiaries of protection, not the man- ufacturing but the agricultural interest would be the controlling influence in public affairs to -day. A good deal more than the question of wider markets was at stake a year ago last September. Change the lids of the kitchen range frequently and you will prevent their warping. An interesting feature of the annual report of the Post -office Department just issued is the fact that nearly three million letters, post -cards, parcels. etc., were returned last year to the dead let- ter office. And no less than 37,641 of these contained articles of value. The dend letter branch returned nearly 600,- 00;) letters to the writers, and 14,000 of these had articles of value enclosed. COOLS NOT LET ANYONE TALK TO NEN SHE WAS SO NERVOUS. Diseases of the nervous system are very common. All the organs of the body may be sound while the nervous system is all upset, on account of the troubles and worry which fall to the lot of one who has to look after the troubles incident to housekeeping, and when the nerves become unstrung the heart is also etl'c, I ed. in Milburn's Heart sad Nerre Pills is combined a treatment that will cure all .Orin- of nervous disorder as well as act s, It o + heart itself, andi for this reason we • t. •, . • highly recommend them to all is? , sown women. see. %%ni, Smith, Terra Nova, Ont., e ,.ss:--" I wish to tell you that I have u .i Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills. ...te .w nervous I could hardly let any- .+ .,: talk 10 •),e until a neighbour told tee Ia. try your ililburn's heart and Nerve I•::!r.

"It heals like magic," is a favorite expression when Dr. Chase's Ointment is used. It works quickly, stops all itching at once, often heals in a single night. For eczema, salt rheum, bar- bers' itch, skin irritations or eruptions, it is a most satisfactory treatment. Be- ing antiseptic, it prevents blood poison- ing. Keep Happy Rules It is one thing to .be happy -for an hour, a day, a week. But it is quite another matter to keep happy. A few little "keeps" have been suggested as guide posts along the way to that big "keep," which means so much not only to• ourselves, but to all who may come within our reflecting radius: Keep cheerful. Hunting trouble ruins more nerves than trouble when it ar- rives. Keep alert. Mental ruts make more hypochondriacs than does overwrought imagination. Keep physically active. The inertwo- man who hates to move is unusually the greatest growler about her health. Keep clean. The close connection be- tween the pores of the skin and good health is not considered carefully enough. Keep interested. There is nothing like a fad or an object in life to put aches and pains into the background. Keep busy The Satanic mischief provided for idle hands is better known than the physical mischief that hounds the woman with time to think about her health. Keep your feet warm. More cold is taken through the ankles than in any other way, so do not run in low shoes all winter. Keep away from drugs. Walk more and take medicine less. Keep a curb on your appetite. Over- eating is the menace of the age. Keep -out of debt. There is nothing like money troubles to worry one to death. ('are will kill the nine -lived cat, and what gives more care than a bud- get of debts with no money to settle? Keep smiling. -From the continent. December Rod and Gun.

(From the TIMES of Dec. 9, 1892.) LOCAL NEWS. A load of Orangeman from town drove over to Belgrave on Friday evening last and spent a pleasant evening with the brethern of that' place. The Congregational church of this place intend holding a grand Christmas tree entertainment on Friday evening December 26th. Messrs Vanstone Bros. marble dealers Wingham, erected a handsome monu- ment in Colborne cemetery, ,last week, over the remains of the late Thos. Troy. Master John Paterson, son of Mr. Frank Patterson of this town, had his left arm broken in the hoist at the Uuion Factory, one day last week. • The fire alarm was sounded onThurs- day evening about 8 o'clock, but after the fireman had the new hose laid out it was found that they were only trying the new furnaces in the Methodist church, which caused considerable smoke. The Citizen's band was out on the street Monday evening last, treating the people of the town to some of their excellent music. Mr. Jas. McKelvie is having his res- taurant fixed up; he is putting a fresh coat of bright red paint on the inside. A painful accident happened to Dr.P. Macdonald, on Friday evening last. On that evening, while he and Dr. J. R. Macdonald were driving to Bluevale, and when near that place, they met a man driving a large pig. Just when they were passing, the pig made a bolt to cross the road, and succeeded in getting between the front of the buggy and the horse's hind feet. This frightened the horse, and he made a plunge forward, partly overturning the buggy, and throwing the Doceor out. The Doctor was struck on the back and one of his Legs by the buggy wheels, and injured somewhat, but not seriously. BORN. Beaten. -In Fordyce, on December 3rd, the wife of Mr. Jas. Beaten; a son.

When basting be sure to baste straight and close enough so that the seam will not gap and pull apart; make the notches meet, and it is a good idea to pin the seams at the notches and at intervals along before basting, as the side next the sewer inclines to full a little, mak- ing it shorter than the under seam. If the shoulder seam is put too far forward, it gives a round-shouldered look to the garment. The head should be held perfectly straight, and the shoulder seam should then be in a di act line with the back of the ear. When ready to put in the sleeve, the waist should be tried on, and the very top of the shoulder should be marked with a pin, or a notch, or thread. The sleeve should be put on, and also mark ed on the centre of the top. The under seam of the sleeve should be about two, or two and a half inches forward of the underarm seam of the waist, and the shoulder -marks on the top of shoulder and sleeve top should be placed togeth- er. If there are any gathers these should cover the space in front five to seven inches, being a little the thick- est together at the top, and spreading two and a half inches back and front of the top. The arm -seam underneath should make a straight line from under the arm to the hip; it should pull neither back nor front. A very trying process it putting thein of the sleeves correct- ly, ly, and much of the comfort as well as the good appearance of the garment de- pends on the fit of the sleeve. 1 The list of contents of dead letters, "Ilole-in-the-Jaws" •- so named because: parcels, etc., overs a wide and amus- ing range.

Frequent doses of Dr. -Chase's Syrup of Linseed and Turpentine keep the cough loose, allay the inflammation and so prevent it spreading to the bron- chial tubes and lungs. Mrs. S. M. Moore, Shortreed, B. C., writes: "I wish to state my gratitude for Dr. Chase's Syrup of Linseed and Turpen- tine, for it cured a cold which a friend said would soon put me in the grave." Every closet should have little shel ves in it, one above the other, near the floor, to hold shoes. Nine French hamlets on the German frontier are still engaged in paying off their respective shares of the indemnity of 1870. When the French Government was called upon to pay the indemnity it was arranged that every town in the country should pay from £500 to £250,- 000. At the end of forty-two years the nine villages are still in arrears. Sev- eral of them are bankrupt, and they have sppealed to the State. Twitching of the Nerves A Distredsing Symptom of Ner- vous Exhaustion Cured by Dr. Chase's Nerve Food. Mrs. Sohn McKellar. What sympathy you feel for anyone whose nerves twitch and jerk, and what resolves you make to never allow your nervous system to become ex- hausted, until paralysis of some form claims you as 'a Victim. The only way is to watch the warn- ing symptoms, such as ileepleasnasv, headache, indigestion, tired feelings and irritability. By the prompt use of Dr. Chase's Nerve Food you can feed the feeble, wasted nerves bark to health and vigor, restore the vitality of the body, and prevent aerious dis- ease. I. John McKellar, 11 Barton street east, Hamilton, Ont., Writes :--- "I was injured some years ago, and that left me with a broken-down ner- vous Bstem could not lee And o I s suffered from twitching of the nerves and disagreeable nervous sensations. "1 then began using Dr. Chase's Nerve rood, and can clay that X never used any medicine twat did me so much good; in fact, 1 tut entirely cured of my old trouble. The Nerve Food not only btaengthened the nerves, but Alio built up my system in every way." Under date of Aug. 29, 1912, Mrs. McKellar writes, confirming her eure, and atates that she has had in- quiries from many people who had heard of the great benefits she ob- tained from Dr, Chase's Nerve rood.

Aside from saving practically all of the butter fat contained in the milk, the centrifugal hand cream separator has other ad- vantages over other methods of separating, Some of these are; It gives better and more uni- form quality of cream. The richness of cream can easi- ly be regulated as desired. It saves labor in washing and handling utensils. The skimmilk is in the best possible condition for feeding purposes. Regarding the value of centrif- ugal hand separator skimmilk for feeding Professor G. L. Mc- Kay, formerly of A.mes college, la„ in a bulletin says: "No invention of recent years has benefited the dairy farmer so much ns the little band sep- arator. By Its use a saving of at least 25 cents per hundred is made over the whole milk deliv- ery or gravity shimming sys- tem." 00000000 00000000 MUD IN THE HOG TROUGH. Contamination of Feed Responsible For Unthrifty Herds. Under the best of conditions the hog gets too much filth into his system. Many a man bas been at a loss to knora why his hogs lacked thrift, why they breathed hard and finally thumped themselves to death when, as a matter of fact, a deranged digestive system could he made to account for all the symptoms displayed and for the final issuance of the death warrant. We are not so much interested in the hogs that are now being finished up for market as we are in the youngsters that are to be, says Iowa Homestead. Assuming that good feeding methods bare been employed during the gesta. tion period, it eau be stated without any fear of contradiction that the con• stitutional soundness of a pig is deter. mined before it is four months old, and the big factor in determining tbls is cleanliness in the food supply. flog troughs are ordinarily placed 90 that there is a tremendous amount of contamination during bad weather, and as a result the little fellows consume an enormous amount of mud, even be• tween the time they begin to eat and the weaning period. At this stage of their career they are usually big eaters for their weight, and they are not very fastidious In their tastes. With them everything goes, and where the feeding ground is filthy it requires special pre- cautions to keep the feed clean. If The Duroc-Jersey breed of swine 1s noted for early maturity and excellence of pork produced. The sows are good milkers and moth- ers and aro very prolific. They are among the best grazers of any swine and are strong and active, ranging over large areas. In color they should be cherry red, the back should be broad. straight or slight- ly arching, carrying even breadth to the hips; the face should be slightly dished and broad between the eyes; shoulders broad, smooth and nearly level on top, and the hams large, full, well rounded, ex- tending to the hock joint. there are any disease gorms around the premises they are surely propagated b2 the so called mud culture. There they have the best possible chance of gain- ing access first to the trough and then into the digestive system of the grow• ing pigs. Because of this we believe that 13 pays every man to construct his troughs fro as to absolutely prevent either the pigs or the older hogs from getting their front feet either into the slop or dry grain mixture. The man who does not have ingenuity enough about him to design and construct troughs of this character will not attain marked sur. cess as a hog raiser. It is true that certain designs hat. been patented, but even outside of these patented troughs there is ample room for the exercise of mechanieal skill. The main thing after all is to get the idea thor- oughly inculcated that it is necessary to use troughs designed in such a way as to keep the pigs from mixing mud with their meals. After that idea has taken possession of a Inan .he will have little difficulty In working out a sys- tem that will. It goes without saying that good feeding floor goes a long way toward solving the problem, but filth will coi- lec't even there, and the matter must be carried further by Making special ptavision to keep contatuivatlug 1111*4 terlal out of the feeding troughs. Save the Heifer Calves.
