HOW WE SHOULD REGARD FARM
LIFE.
It is becoming pretty well understood
that the greatest hindrance to a right
view of what farm life should be is the
farmer himself, says Hoard's Dairy-
man. It is the farmer who has destroy-
ed the fertility of the farm, It is the
farmer who is deserting the farm for
village and city life. Commenting on
some of these conditions, the Chicago
Record -Herald says:
"What with trolleys, telephones,
free delivery, parcel post, automobiles
and other conveniences, nothing human
and rationally social should_ be impos-
sible to the farming community. The
rural •centre, the rural circulating lib-
rary and reading room, with many other
improvements, should follow or accom-
pany the spread of intensive cultiva-
tion."
Says Hoard's Dairyman: "All of
these conditions appeal most strongly
to the development of the social nature
of the farmer. But the trouble is, in a
great many instances, that it is not
farm life and improved farm society
that the farmer and his wife and daugh-
ters hunger for. It is town life they
are after. Hence all the modern ac-
cessories and privileges that the farm
may have, find no welcome with them.
Somehow they have come to look upon
farm life as low down in the social scale.
"It must be admitted that the tend-
ency of the high school, the college and
the university is mainly in that direc-
tion. Every one of these forces of edu-
cation push forward the idea that to
"rise in the world" means professional
eminence and not fame as a farmer.
At the bottom of alI this mischief is the
lack of pride on the part of the farmer
in his calling. As Iong as that exists,
farming will never advance in the scale
of wealth, intelligence and social
standing,"
INTERNATIONAL INTEREST
IDENTICAL
From the Wall Street Journal.
Wall Street men who have returned
from the old home towns and summer
resorts up -state have been impressed
by three things which bear on the re-
lations between business and politics.
In the first place, the up -state farmer,
close to the Canadian - border and not
admiring his Canadian neighborhood any
too much, is not displeased over the pro-
posed reduction of duties on Canadian
products; A suprising circumstance
this is, because the up -state farmer
was bitterly opposed to the Taft policy
of reciprocity with Canada, and voted
for Wilson more on that account than
any other. He apprehended loss and no '
gain from the reciprocity measure, but
in the Underwood bill he sees a chancy
to gain more than compensating him
for loss, the farmers' free list pleasing
him immensely. Free wheat he cares
little about, for he has gone into in-
tensive farming, and raises Iittle wheat.
Free barley pleases him, though on the
southern and nothern shores of Lake
Ontario barley grows as well as any-
where else. The point on barley is
that malt houses, numerous along the
Erie Canal and the south shore of On-
tario, have been closed since importa-
tion of Canadian barley was prohibited
by high tariff, with the result that,
while the farmer had no more Canadian
competition, he lost his home market,
and barley became unprofitable on both
sides of the border. Arrangements are
already in progress for reopening many
of these malt -houses. In apples , small
fruits, and vegetables the up -state far-
mer fears no Canadian competition, and
altogether looks on the tariff bill with
a favor the more remarkable because
of his training in protectionist policies.
131 -LINGUAL POST CARDS
Calgary Albertan:
"Carte Postale.
"Le cote reserve pour l'adresse."
That iswhat will appear at the top
of the Canadian post card in future.
Of course, the English translation will
be there also.
The postmaster -general, Hon. L. P.
Pelletier, Nationalist member of the
Borden Administration, according to
the W. A. P. dispatches, has authoriz-
ed this bilingual post card, and the ini-
tial supplies are being sent out. As
yet there has been no such change in
the post stamps.
This is the first definite indication
that Canada has received from the
Nationalist element in the Dominion
Government that this is not a British
country. The change, made by the
Nationalist element in the BordenlGov-
ernment, was quite unnecessary. No
person was inconvenienced because no
French words appeared on the post
cards. It was another little move of
the Nationalists to foster prejudice and
maintain sectionalism.
So Calgary people will notice with
the mailing of each post card how our
present Government is acknowledging
the debt that it owes to the Quebec
Nationalists.

The Cheery Smile.
It isn't hard to smiie and sing on mel
low days of fall and spring, when skies
are bright and sunny; a man in com-
fort then can stroll, and kick his heels •
and caracole, and be quite pert and
funny. It's easy then to scatter jokes,
and say to grouchy, gloomy folks, "If
you've a grief, behead it"; we all are
optimists in May, and many cheerful
things we say, and claim all kinds of
credit. But when grim August burns
the air, what kini of smile do you then
wear to cheer the people? The opti-
mist most worthy fame is he who plays
his joyous game when weather's fright-
ful; who smiles serenely through his
sweat, and says, "These days, already
yet, are most delightful!' But where,
oh, where's this noble gent who won't
confess to discontent, who smiles and
chortles? I fear me much he's in his
grave; he was too radiant and brave to
dwell with mortals.

Swat The Fly.
More and more the housefly is being
regarded as the carrier of filth and dis-
ease germs. A chart at the exhibition
illustrates very vividly the phenomenal
rate of reproduction of house flies, In
one month the progeny of a single fe-
male fly will amount to over two hun-
dred, in two months, four thousand, in
three months, thirty-two .million; and
in a season over six hundred and eighty
million. Where a person has effective
screen doors, the house can be kept
comparatively free from flies. Those
that do gain entrance can be easily
killed by the use of a fly swatter. This
simple contrivance may be made by
tacking a piece of screening about four
inches square on the end of a stick. It
is surprising how many flies can be
killed with a swatter in a very short
time,

Mrs. George Bradshaw, Harlowe, Ont.,
writes: "I was troubled for many years
with weak watery blood and dropsy.
I had nervous headaches, dizziness and
sinking spells, and was in fact, a semi -
invalid. Doctors told me my heart and
kidneys were deceased and gave me up.
By using ten boxes of Dr. Chase's
Nerve Food I have been cured of many
of my old complaints and gained 35
pounds in weight."
Age of the Earth.
Our grandfathers believed that this
world was only some 6,000 years old.
We know better now. It may have
existed almost as many millions of years.
One of the most recent discoveries shows
that man may even have lived on the
earth a million years ago at least. The
discovery referred to was the finding of
the Piltdown skull in England. This
skull was partially worn away, and in
reconstructing the remains it shows a
combination of ape and human for-
mation with a brain capacity not materi-
ally different from that of man of the
present day. Scientists differ some-
what in their estimate of the period
when this skull formed part of a living
body -the difference varying from half
a million to a million and a half years.
During a very much shorter period
vast changes have taken place in the
earth's formation. While continents
have been lost and great changes made
in others. Itis believed that the Azores
are one of the remaining links that
once united Africa and South America.
TWo hundred miles south of Tasmania
there is a great bank above the general
level of the ocean, nearly as large as
the whole of Tasmania, that was once
above sea level. On this continent,
changes little less sweeping have taken
place. The island on which New York
city stands was once a mere dot on the
Hudson River, which then entered the
ocean 100 miles south of where it enters
to -day.
