Meat May Be Injurious
and Is Expensive
Some people may eat lots of meat without in-
jury to their health, but it's hard on their pockets.
Others should avoid meat almost entirely, yet they
eat it daily—these pay in both health and purse.
Either class will benefit by eating less meat
and more Kellogg's Toasted Corn Flakes.
It gives much more nourishment than its cost
in meat, is infinitely more easy to digest—conse-
quently better for you.

High among unconventional writers
stauds R'llilaw Prynne, a Loudon jour-

Journals, days when a bulky pamphlet
took the place of a letter to one's fa-

about 200 of such pamphlets and Is
said to have averaged a sheet of print
a day throughout his life. And he
worked in a quilt cap coming over his
eyes to shield them from the light, and
stuck at his table all day, being served
with a roll and a pot of beer every
three hours. And he reaped the re-

Making the Little
Farm Pay
arcuaor
By C. C. BOWSFIELD
SMi.KH• A:,
AFEW wise
farmers in
the Chica-
go district get;
$2.50 to $5 a
bushel for all
the corn the y
raise. They un-
derstand the
selling end of
farming as welt
as the producing
end. One is
about as impor-
tant as the
other.
These farmers
buy sixty cent
corn for feeding. They cannot afford to
use their own product for this purpose.
Being careful, systematic men, they
raise corn of a high type, uniform and
prolific, and they are becoming wealthy
by this kind of brain work. There is
n lesson for all farmers here.
liaise a first class article, whether
grain, vegetables, chickens or pigs, and
there will be no difficulty in finding
people who want your product if you
will but let thew know what you have
and what you sell it for.
I have often seen men going from
store to store with a tin bucket and an
old ragnsticking out under the cover
asking the merchants if they wanted
butter, and at every place they would
be told that it was not wanted, when
in fact those very merchants were get-
ting print butter all the way from
far distant states. They knew the
character of the butter in the tin buck-
ets and did not want that sort. As
with butter, so it is with all products
of the farm. It is quality that makes
the article sell.
Conditions are right for money mak-
ing by the agricultural class. It sim-
ply remains for the farmers them-
selves to develop methods of selling by
which they can take advantage of the
improved markets. The rapid growth
of cities and the sharp demand for all
kinds of produce are substantial evi-
dence of this improvement.
Co-operation Is the first step. Or-
ganization may be applied not only in
shipping, but in forming neighborhood'
clubs among city customers to whom
regular quantities of produce may be
delivered at stated intervals at prices
wbicb are reasonable and fair to both
sides.
Almond farmers market and dispose
of their produce profitably through ag-
ricultural co-operative association's.
They improve their tnethods, widen
their markets and reduce their trans-
portation expenses through co-opera-
tion. Why cannot our farmers do like-
wise?
When a farmer is located near n good
market the thing for him to do is to
sell to private customers. As his busi-
ness enlarges he can furnish supplies
to hotels and restaurants as well as
residences. He can obtain any price In
reason so long as his goods are choice.
When producers are too far from a
good market to drive in frequently the
proposed method of co-operatiou is ex-
cellent. A number of them working to-
gether can agree to ship eeguinrly a
given quantity of produce to city con-
sumers, and the latter can best handle
the business by weanS of an orgautza-
tion of some sort,
There are many reasons why water-
fowl are not more popular for the
table than they are, but the chief rea-
son is that they are se poorly fitted for
the market. The big duck farms of the
east are the only dues to give the prop-
er finishing of ducks for the market the
whole attention it deserves. They have
educated the market to an appreciation
of good waterfowl and have 1)00n re-
warded in price for the effort expended.
It pays well to be able to furnish in
their season such articles as strawber-
ries, currants, cucumbers, cherries, *-
pies, raspberries, sweet corn, cabbage,
honey and other products of the kind.
These pay ten tiwes as much as the
grain crops. An acre of cherries or ap-
ples will net about $150 after paying
for the labor of picking and marketing.
The others are equally profitable or
nearly so.
A farmer raising fruit should sabre
contracts with private citstorners or
grocers ns early in the season as be
can–that is, as soon ns he can tell
something about what the yield is to
be. IIe will thus get better returns
than by shipping to a inns produce
market. '1 he same method is best In
marketing poultry, eggs and regetnbles.
Beautiful Home Grounds.
No matter bow poor -he uuty be, every
farmer can niTord to have beautiful
home grounds. Veil 'many of the
plants and shrubs best stilted for lawn
decoration can be found growing wild
in practically every neighborhood, if
not 'upon every farm. The only e"x-
penae required is Unit for the Ir bor of
digging and replantiug thein.
Replying to inquiries made by farm-
ers, Jaitnes G. Moore of the college of

consin offered these suggestions for the

Before Columbus.
What is known as the Fletcher
Runic stone, which wa discovered
near Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, more
than a century ago, is being displayed
at the Centenary Exhibition of Nor-
way now in progress at Christiania. -
For dors than fifty years strange
characters on the stone baffled scien-
tists, but Mr. Henry Phillips, jr., de-
ciphered the inscription as "Harkus-
sail Men Veru" (Harka's son address-
eu the men").
Mr Phillips found that in an ex-
peditipn of Norsemen which left
Greenland in 1007 the name of Harki
occurred. These adventurers took all
kind- of live stock with them for the
purpose of establishing a colony, in
Vinland (Massachusetts), but on
their way they landed and partially
explored Nova Scotia (Markland). To
celebrate the event, Hark), one of
the chieftains, addressed his follow-
ers, and it is suggested that this stone
was inscribed in commemoration of
the event.
ENORMOUS GRAIN YIELDS.
What French Agriculturists Are Doing
• to Increase the Crops.
French agriculturists are paying a
great deal of attention at present to
possible methods of cultivation of
grain crops to increase the yield. In-
stances have already been worked out
where twenty seeds of grain yielded
an increase of over 700,000 within a
period of one year. The principle is
simple. It consists in preparing the
seed bed in widely spaced lines on mel-
low land. At the end of two months
the tufts springing from each grain
aro divided and replanted. Finally
earth is hoed ftp about the new plants
in such a manner as to provoke growth
from all points brought into Intimate
contact with the soil. Each of these
numerous shoots bears an ear. In real-
ity it is a combination of "slipping,"
transplanting and pruning.
The methods were practiced by the
Chinese centuries ago, and the princi-
ple was worked out experimentally in
England as early as 1776. An Algerian
colonist has been planting wheat and
oats in the same fields for five years
without an application of manure. He
makes his furrows thirty-six inches
apart and plants the seeds therein at a
distance of twenty inches from each
other. He harrows constantly. ' Dur-
ing the five years he bas averaged
1,800 pounds of oats per acre and 1,600
of wheat, while a neighbor's yield un-
der ordinary practice has been a scant
800 pounds of oats and 500 of wheat.
Uses For Piano Box.
A piano box may be profitably used
for several purposes. By putting the
slanting portion of the top on binges,
so that it can be lifted, it may be used
for a corn or oat bin. This is placed
in the hallway of the barn on blocks
so that it will not rest on the floor and
become a harbor for mice and rats.
Covered with good roofing paper that
will turn water, the piano box may be
used for a coal bin. If it is set with
the opening toward the south the snow

or rain from the north or east will not
beat into the box when the 11d is lifted.
The box has also been fond useful
as a hog house when covered to keep
out wind and ruin. The small sow
with young pigs can find here a good
II shelter from the storms< The top may
be hinged in order to put in straw and
take out the old bed. A. small door in
the end will admit the sow and pigs.
By putting ono or two small windows
in the piano box it can be used for a
chicken house, in which a dozen chick-
ens can bo kept very comfortably. One
can flx a few roosts and several nests
In the box,
"I'at Tell Fertile Eggs.
The simplest, easiest and surest way
of testing hatching eggs for fertility
is to set them in the incubator or un-
der a hen and allow them to incubate
for seven days, says a contributor to
the 1?arm and Fireside. Then remove
the hen or take the tray otlt of the in-
cubator and allow the eggs to cool for
ten minutes. 'Then bold each egg to
the cheek. The warm eggs are the
fertile eggs and the told eggs are those
that have no chicks in them. Eggs
that aro only slightly warm have a
very weak germ. The longer the eggs

Men Well Satisfied.
Speaking of his experience with cow
testing for three years one farmer near
St. Hyacinthe, Quebec, recently expree.
sed himself as very well satisfied,. He
had good reason to be, for in June this
year his 9 cows averaged 1,203 pounds
of milk each, a total of 10,830 pounds.
Three years ago the average was only
823 pounds, the total only 7,411 pounde.
In other words, his incoune from the
nine cows was thirty-four dollars
greater in one month this year.
Instances very similar to this may
be found in every county where cow
testing has been taken up intelligent-
ly. Near Listowel, Ontario, is a herd
of 16 cows that gave on the average
2,700 pounds of milk more per cow
than three years ago, The addition of
four hundred and thirty two dollars
per year to one's income, without in-
creasing the number of cows, is a sub-
stantial and tangible result of intelli-
gent weighing and sampling.
Again, at Wooler, Ontario, is a herd
now giving 8,307 pounde of milk per
cow, an increase of almost 3,000 pounds
per COW.
Record forms for milk and feed, and
a herd record book, will be eupplied
free on application to ° the dairy com-
missioner, Ottawa.
In Memoriam.
Written on the death of Mrs, John
Willits who died June 25tb, 1914.
Dear Mother, thou has left us
To mourn and weep for thee,
Soon we will meet thee up in Heaven
Happy will that meeting be.
It does not seem like home no more
There is an empty chair,
And it seems so very lonely
For mother is not here.
We did not think that death so Boon
Would take then from our side,
It took from us a loving friend
A true and faithful guide,
Tis hard to lay thy dear dear form
Within that cold dark clay.
Our hearte are sad and sore with pain
Since Mother has gone away.
We miss her here a wife so dear,
We miss her here a mother near,
We miss her in our home below,
We miss her everywhere we go.
4Ve, Father and children are sad
Our hearts with grief are riven.
But Oh 1 we think ite wrong to weep
When thou art safe in Heaven.
Farewell dear Mother, rest in peace
Thy cares and sorrows o'er
And thou art free from troubles now
Thy cares on earth no more.

VALUE OF RHEUMA
FROM THE COURT
Judge Barhorst was Relieved of
Rheumatism after Doctors failed,
If you have tried many other reme-
dies and doctor'e treatments for Rheu-
matism and found they failed, do not
he skeptical about trying RHEUMA.
Read the testimony of Judge John Bar -
horst of Fort Loramie, 0 -
"After treatment by three doctors
without result, I have been cured of a
very bad case of Rheumatism by using
two bottles of RHEUMA. It is now
two years since I used the remedy, and
I am still as web as ever. Previously,
I was a cripple. walking with crutches.'
Such testimony should be convincing.

Lady's Queer Reception.
A strange lady who came into
Walkerton on Tuesday had a rather
embarrassing experience on the main
street here that day. A concert com-
pany which was playing "Peg of My
Heart" in the Opera House, Tuesday
night, had offered $5 to the first one
who discovered "Peggy" of the Peg
of My Heart on the street. Seeing a
strange and attractive lady promenad-
ing the pavement many concluded
that she was the blossom they were
looking for, and rushing up to her,
loudly shouted "You are Peggy of the
Peg of My Heart." The fact that she
blushed a deep red made some con-
clude that they had captured the cash.
Their hopes grew as her embarass-
meat increased and she soon was sur-
rounded by a regular mob all vocifer-
ously shouting that she was "The Peg
of their Heart." She was finally res-
cued by several men who saw that a
mistake had been made, but it was
not until the matter had been fully
explained to her that she could la-
c mvinced that there wasn't a whole
lot c -f batty people running around
loose in Walkerton.– [Bruce Herald &

Contraband.
Mr, George W. F. Fowler, the New
Brunswick M.P., tells a story of a
rather prominent politician from one
of the Scott Act counties of New
Brunswick who visited St. John a few
weeks ago and proceeded to take ad-
vantage of the license system in force
there.
A friend who was anxious to get
hien started for home before he im-
bibed any further, but who did not
have the time to attend to the mat-
ter, called up a mutual friend and
requested him to keep in touch with
the politician and not leave him until
le) was on tho train for home.
"I would like to oblige you," was
the reply, "but don't you know there
is a fine for shipping whisky into a
Scott Act county?"—Toronto Satur-

New Railway Points.
Some indication of the develop-
ment of the west may be gathered
from the fact that upwards of -200
new points will be opened up by the
three transcontinental railways dur-
ing the present year. This simply
means that new railways will for the
first time touch districts already fair-
ly well settled and for which con-
venient marketing and commercial
point.. must be established.
