The Hand That Moves The
Lever Saves j6 2-3 Per Cent.
of Your Coal Bill
Mere is the opportunity for the housewife to
deal the high c, st of living question a hard jolt
without any effort on her part.
The way is to make sure that'her new range is•
controlled by a Gurney Economizer, which will
save 1 ton of coal in every 6 -burned in an ordinary
range.
The Economizer %fo the stove what the con-
trol lever is to the engine or automobile. Without
control neither is efficient.
With the Gurney Economiser it is possible to
quickly vary the heat of the oven. Various foods
require different temperatures. The Economizer
keeps this desired temperature absolutely uniform.
It also means that when cooking is over, you
may have a cool kitchen and still have your fire
going - while you can have the fiercest heat in a
few minutes by a slight pressure on the lever,
If you possess a Gurney -Oxford your advantages
are innumerable. The Divided Flue means heat
for every hole on the stove. The New Special
Grate guards the lowest fire. The Broiler exposes
every inch of the coals.
'f' These features are exclusively "Gurney -Ox-
' I • ford" _ .
��,in It will furnish your kitchen handsomely - it
will do your work adequately.

CROPS AND LIVE STOCK.
Ottawa, September 15-A bulletin
issued to -day by the Census and Statis-
tics Office of the Department of
Trade and Commerce reports the
condition of crops and live stock
at the end of August and gives
preliminary estimates of the yield of
spring wheat, rye, oats and barley as
compiled from the reports of corres-
pondents upon the appearance of these
crops.
The weather conditions were favour-
able for ripening and harvesting the
grain crops. In Ontario it was nearly
all harvested by the end of the month,
while in the Prairie provinces harvest-
ing operations were about two-thirds
completed and it was expected that
threshing would be general by Sep-
tember 10. In the Maritime provinces
the harvest is more backward being
only general about the end of the month.
The average condition of spring wheat
is 83.43 per cent. of the standard of a
full crop which is represented by lOn;
oats 87.85; barley 87.07; rye 80.49; peas
80.81; beans 78.07; buckwheat 77.81;
mixed grains 89.01; flax 85.06; corn
79.78. On the whole these figures

Archibald Blue,
Chief Officer.
Beginning on the Farm.
Young men who have little or no capi-
tal should feel honored to be employed
by honest, reliable and successful men,
who have capital and character, says
Farm and Ranch. This gives young
men a chance to earn a living and save
their earnings until business of what-
ever kind they choose can be started
for themselves.
Usually the best plan for a farmer
boy who must begin for himself with-
out capital and with little education is
to hire to a successful farmer until he
saves capital enough to begin farming
as a tenant. Many successful farmers
have begun this way; it is the way
business men begin, but farming differs
from most other businesses in that it
takes less capital to own your own
businessethan in ordinary commercial
occupations. Comparatively few clerks,
salesmen, bookkeepers, eta., become
owners of a great business compared to
the number of hired men and tenants
who become farm owners. This shows
the opportunities in farming.
maintain the high standard set by last
months report and marks an advance-
ment for spring wheat, oats and flax.
Compared with the figures at the corres-
ponding date last year, wheat is 88 to
84; oats and barley stand at 88 for each
season; rye 80 to 84; mixed grams 89 to
87; flax 85 to 88. Potatoes are 86 against
89 last month and 92 last year; turnips
are 84 for both this month and last as
against 88 last year; mangolds are 83
against 84 last month and 87 last year.
Pasture has maintained its condition
fairly well since last month having only
lost one point the figures being 81
against 82 last month and92 ayear .ago.
From the reports furnished by cor-
respondents the following preliminary
estimates of yield are based on the
areas sown. Of spring wheat the
average yield per acre is provisionally
placed at 21.41 bushels per acre which
upon an area of 8,990,500 acres makes
the total yield of spring wheat to be
192,517, 000 bushels. This quantity added
to 18,481,800 bushels of fall wheat as
published last month gives the total
production of wheat as 210,998,800
bushels compared with the final estimate
for 1912 of 199,236,000 bushels and for
1911 of 215,851,000 bushels. The yield
per acre is 1912 was 20.93 bushels for
fall wheat and 20.37 bushels for spring
wheat.
Oats, with an average yield of 40.98
bushels per acre on 9,610,400 acres,
gives a total production of 895,341,000
bushels as against an average yield of
39.25 bushels and a total yield of 361,-
733,000 bushels in 1912.
Barley, with a yield per acre of 31.05
bushels and a total yield of 44,440,000
as'°compared with an average yield of
31.10 bushels and a total of 44,014,000
bushels in 1912.
The estimated yield of rye is 2,425,000
bushels for 127,200 acres being a yield
per acre of 19.06 bushels ae against a
total of 2,594,000 bushels in 1912,
For the three Northwest provinces
the total yield of spring wheat is es-
timated at 188,018,000 bushels, oats 244,-
125,000 bushels, barley at 28,156,001)
bushels, rye at 612,000 and flax at 15,-,
056,000 bushels as compared with a
total yield in 1912 for spring wheat of
183,322,000 bushels, oats 221,857,000
bushels and ,barloy of 26,671,00 bushels.

Prevention of Disease is the Idea Now.
The emphasis of the World's Medical
Congress upon not only the wide extent
of war against disease, but its co-oper-
ative character, is already receiving
practical comment. The French Journ-
al de Philanthropie points out how much
even of administrative method in com-
bating the chief evil, tuberculosis, is
international. To the Germans, for
example, the sanitarium long represent-
ed the sole means of defence. Lately,
however, the German Central Associa-
tion has harrowed a leaf from the book
that Calmette and Waldeck -Rousseau
began to write at Lille in 1901, and has
centred its attention upon the dispen-
sary. The secretary already reports
four of these in Berlin, and 720 in all
Germany. At first passive, they are
now active agencies, and inspect homes,
clown rules of hygiene, aild help the
public to folicw them. Assisted by
workingmen's societies, the Association
has given especial attention to "forest
dispensaries," of which in 1911 there
were 98, receiving 3,000 patients yearly,
These stations are )nested Fehr the
larger cities, and with tli'e'sinallest pos-
sible plant they recti‘A the ailing daily,
care for them in the open air, and send
them home at night. Two suggestions
used are ascril'ed to America -the plan
of receiving at these forest dispensaries
night patients, busy in the daytime,
and the open-air schools.
Caught a Bad Cold.
"Last winter 'my son caught a very
bad cold and the way he coughed was
something dreadful," writes Mrs. Sarah
E. Duncan, Tipton, Iowa. "We
thought sure he was going into consump-
tion. We bought just one bottle of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and that
one bottle completely stopped his
cough and cured his cold." For sale
by all dealers.
Selecting Breeding Ducks.
Those who intend selecting the duck-
lings hatched this season for stock pur-
poses next year will do well to avoid the
foolish plan of killing off the finest for
the market, and retaining the smaller
and inferior birds for stock. The most
likely breeders for next year are the
largest and quickest growing or the
birds that were hatched early in April.
It is not .advisable to subject them to
the same treatment as ducklings in-
tended for the table, and instead of
being penned up closely they should be
allowed an unlimited range, with facili-
ties for swimming. Breeding ducks
should be large framed, and by treating
them in this way they will eventually
make bigger birds than those forced for
the market, for whilst the latter aro
becoming fat the former will be build-
iug up frame. These birds hatched in
April are more likely to lay in winter,
provided they are bred from a useful
strain, than later hatched birds.
mother of Eighteen Children.
"I am the mother of eighteen child-
ren and have the praise of doing more
work than any young woman in my
town," writes Mrs. C. J. Martin, Boone
Mill, Va. ;'I suffered for five years
with stomach trouble and could not eat
as much as a biscuit without suffering.
I have taken three bottles of Chamber-
lains Tablets and am now awell woman
and 168 pounds. I can eat anything I
want to, and as much as I want and
feel better than I have at any time in
ten years. I refer to any one in Boone
Mill or vicinty and they will vouch for
what I say." Chamberlain's Tablets
are for sale by all dealers.
A writer in the Springfield Republican
says: "In Massachusetts, women have
had the school vote for many years."
Last year the women's vote ili&eased
more than 100 per cent. In the 20
year from 1890 to 1910, it averaged
15,600. In 1911 it ,rose to 22,755, and
and in 1932 to 48,127

Modern Medicine,
If any man in sickness squirms, the
doctor comes and talks of germs, and
quotes some Latin verbs, and says that
he must go out doors and browse around
there on all fours, and eat some grass
and herbs.. The doctors have some
frekish cures that man by preference
endures his sickness while he can; he'll
nurse his bruises and his galls in soli-
tude, while he recalls this good old
fashioned plan. In olden days --alas;
they're sped! -the sick man could re-
main in bed and groan and kick with
zest:. the doctor came and gave him
dope, and said: "You'll soon be well, I
hope, but what you need is rest!" Ah,
yes, my friends, in bygone time, the
sawbones, with his skill sublime, would
order rest and peace; but now he teeters
to your conch and says you are a lazy
slouch, and orders elbow grease. "Get
out of that," he )sternly cries, to him
who's sick, "take exercise! Go out
and climb a tree! Live in a tent, sleep
on the grass! Cut out the sipher and
bluetlmass. Get; busy as can be!" I
like the old time way the best; when I
am sick I long for rest; I like to lie in
bed, while women fan my fevered brow
and ask me if I'm better now, and bring
me toasted bread.
WALT MASON.
A Wen., Chested Boy.
"My boy Frank seemed weak-Thested
and took a very severe cold," writes
Mrs. D. Stevens, Ninga, Man. "The
many medicines used did not seem to
benefit him, until we tried Dr. Chase's
Syrup of Linseed and Turpentine and
found it to be exactly what was wanted
to cure him." No treatment is so
thorough and effective as a cure for
croup and bronchitis.
Storing Apples for Winter.
The commonest home storage place
for apples is the teller under the dwell-
ing house. This may be a very good
apple storage or it may be almost
worthless. It should be cool and moist,
not warm and moist. If it is cold
enough it is hardly likely to be too
moist. The cooler the better, too, up
to the point of actual freezing. The
ideal apple storage should maintain a
uniform temperature as near as pos-
sible to 32 degrees. The great major-
ity of hoose oellers are too warm. For
this 'reason a shed room, the granary or
an old harness room is often better
than the cellar.
The old theory was that the apples
should be put on shelves or trays in
shallow layers and frequently sorted,
those which were beginning to decay
being removed as soon as possible.
The fruit is better off if it isnot handl-
ed at all during the storage period. It
can be placed in bushel boxes or in bar-
rels. If in barrels they may be headed
up or left unheeded.
Receipts from the national forests of
the Unitdd States were nearly $2,500,-
000 for the year ending June 30, 1913.
About half of the receipts were for
timber. During the year the Govern-
ment let contracts totalling $4,000,000
for the sale of timber to be cut at once
or in the future. Of the gross forests'
receipts, 35 per cent. go to the States
in which the forests are located, to be
used for schools and roads.
Diarrhoea Quickly Cured
"I was taken with diarrhoea and Mr.
Yorks, the merchant here, persuaded
me to try a bottle of Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.
After taking our dose of it I was cured.
It also cured others that I gave it to,"
writes 111. E. Gebhart, Oriole. Pa.
That is not at all unusual. An ordinary
attack of diarrhoea can almost invari-
ably be cured by one or two doses of
this remedy. For sale by all dealers.
It is estimated by the New York Sun
that one billion bricks were used in the
construction of buildings erected in
New York last year. The cost of the
great pile of bricks used in last year's
operations amounted to $5,858,770, as
against $4,717,633, the cost of the pile
used during the previous year.

Horse Power.
The maximum draft of a horse on a
good level road is about one-half his
weight. Trials have shown that a
1,600 -pound horse will exert a steady
pull of 81'0 pounds while walking 100
feet on the level, but an animal cannot
do this work steadily. A draft equal
tone -fourth the weight of the animal
is an exhaustive pull, and a pull of one-
tenth his weight during a ten-hour
daily service; walking at the rate of
two and one-half miles an hour, is about
the average. Of course in going up
grades the amount that can be pulled
decreases rapidly, but in emergencies
with a good foothold a horse may pull
one-half his weight up a considerable
grade. To move one ton over a level
dirt road requires a pull of about 140
pounds,
Tti plowing a team usually travels
about two and one-half miles an hour,
and the power required is as follows:
For a furrow four inches deep and
twelve inches wide, 1.72 horse -power,
which is the pull of a thousand -pound
horse. Horse power in this case means
a definite amount, and an average
1,600 -pound horse has from 1.06 to 1.33
horse power. To plough a furrow seven
inches deep and twelve inches wide re-
quires about 3 horse -power. On this
basis two 1,600•pound horse's find their
full capacity in ploughing a furrow five
inches deep and fourteen inches wide.
When a horse goes at a higher speed,
however, his capacity is reduced.

The glory of the farmer is that in
the division of labour, it is his part to ,;
create. All trade rests at last upon his
primitive activity. He stands close to +
nature; he obtains from the earth the
bread and the meat. The food which
has not he causes to be. The first
farmer was the first man, and his his-
toric nobility rests on possession and
use of land. Men do not like hard
work, but every man has an exception-
al respect for tillage and a feeling that
this the original calling of the race;
that he himself is only excused from it
by some circumstances which made
him delegate itfor a time to other hands.
If he has not skill which recommends
him to the farmer, some product for
which the farmer will give him corn.
he must himself return into his due
among the planters. And the profession
has in all eyes its ancient charm, as
standing nearest to God, the first
cause. -Ralph Waldo Emerson.
