to perform in the Com•Be of their du-
ties.
Ono clay a warship may be Impress-
ing some savages who threatened to

scurry off in search of a dangerous
shone, reef, or needle rock, which is
alleged to have popped up suudeni r
and unexpectedly sc:mewhere or oth-
er; another day it may be orderer' to
cruise round about the scene of a me-
rino calamity, pick up bodies rend

it at the nearest port.
The next day 7t may have to set

derelict, which has been sighted, per-
haps six or eight weeks previously,
and directly it has performed this
difficult and dangerous duty it may

show tike troublesome Kir1g of Some-
where, or the' President of Some-
thing, that the Government of His
Britannic Majesty means trouble un-
less its demeeids are at once cam -
piece with. Warships do a lot of
d b t pub-
licd jobs like this without the 1 ub-
lic ever hearing of them.
Hardly a day passes but oue 13ri-
tish warship or another sets out to
search fur some never -before -heard -of
shoal, island, or rock, reported by a
captain of mercantile marines. Rocks
do spring up quite miexpectodly from
time to time, so it is very necesteary
that such reports should be verified
or disproved without any such de-
lay as might lead to 0 ship splitting
herself on an unknown rock before
marines Could be
WARNED OF THE DANGER.
On the whole, however, nine out of
ten of these reports aro either mis-
leading or entirely erroneous - opti-
cal illusions many of them, which
merchant captains, intrusted with
valuable cargoes, do not care to in-
vestigate too closely, but are bound
to report.
Searching for derelicts is interest-
ing and difficult work. A vessel
sighting a supposed derelict, notes
the fact, and the abandoned ship's
position at the time. in the log, and
reports when it reaches harbor. Dere-
licts being, with icebergs, the most
dangerous things to be met with at
sea, the waislhip which happeus to
bo nearest the spot where the dere-
lict was seen, is ordered to find her,
tow her into harbor, or blow her
up. Six weeks have. perhaps, elaps-
ed between the derelict being sighted
and the warship steemtng out to
find her, and during that tiro she,
has been drifting. The searching
warship has , therefore, to calculate
how she would have drifted, where
the various tides and currents she
would drift into would have carried
her during the six weeks, and in
which direction she wouid drift while
the searcher was steaming after her.
These are no trifling calculations to
make; the slightest inaccuracy may
set the warship in the opposite di-
rection to that in which the derelict
is drifting, When sho is routed, le
is not easy to decide what to cio
with ler.
To tow the abandoned ship may
be out of the question; see may, for
instance, bo below the water -line, and
yet drifting with no more than the
stumFs of her masts to indicate her
presence, in such a cast as that it
may be necessary to break her up
and sink her by ramming her, and
this involves the warship in much
danger, .for the weight of the sub-
merged cessei is enormous, 1'O ram
iter will be absolutely Le ossary if she
cannot be towed, or blown up, and
the difficulties of blowing up a float-
ing ship that is entirely covered with
water are obviouo. Jack does il,

do not coincide with those of the
Admiralty he may subsequently find

LUNG WEAKNESS,
X$ DUE TO POOR AND WATERY
BLOOD
That is Why Some People Cannot
Get Rid of a Gough, and Why
It Develops Into Consumption.
The lungs aro just like any other
portion of the body -they need a
constant supply of pure, rich blood
to keep then sound and strong. If
the lungs aro not strong they
are un0hl0 to resist dis-
ease, and that is the reason why an
apparently simnple cold clings m!111l.
the patient grows weaker and
weaker and finally fills a cunseum-
tive's grave. 1)r. Williams' Pink
Pills never fail to strengthen the
lungs. because they matte the new,
rich, red blood which alone can do
this work. The most emphatic proof
that Dr, Williams' Pink Pills 'p.build
the lungs and cure Consumption in
its earlier stages, is given in the
case of Miss Iilanclle Durand, of St.
Ildmond, Que. Mies Durand says
"In the month of September, 1901,
T was visiting at the honno of an
uncle at L'Assomption. One day Wo
were out boating, I got my feet
wet and caught cold. The cold seem-
ed to cling to me, and when I re-
turned home about the end of Sep-
tember, 1 was quite ill. I was quite
feverish, had no appetite, and the
cough seemed to exhaust roe. 1 be-
gan doctoring, but did not get any
better, and in January, 1902, the
doctor told me that my lungs were
affected, and that 1 was in con-
'stunption. At this time a friend who
had - come to see the advised rite to
try Dr, Williams' Pink Pills. and 1
sent for six boxes. The pills soon
began to help me, us little by little
the cough grew less severe, my ap-
petite became bettor, my strength
returned, and I began to have a
healthy color. I used eight boxes of
the pills, and was then fully re-
covered. I am sure that Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills saved my life, and
I shall always speak gratefully of
them,"
Such cases as these toll better than
mere words the power of Dr,
liams' Pink Pills. They cure all con-
stitutional weakness because they go
right to the root of the trouble and
build up the blood. That is why
they never fail to cure rheumatism,
lumbago, kidney and liver troubles,
headaches, backaches, indigestion,
biliousness and all other blood dis-
eases. Sold by all dealers or sent
post paid at 50 cents a box or six
boxes for $2.50 by writing direct to
the Dr, Williams' Medicine Co„

sometimes offered, but you can al-
: trays protect yourself by seeing that
the full name "Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills for Palo People" is printed on

proportion of the daily ration be
composed of the more concentrated
feeding stuffs, A horse would have
to consume over 40 pounds of hay,
to obtain 17.7 pounds of digestible
nutrients, the appr'uxhnrtte amount
required doily by a Horse at severe
labor. Ton to twelve pounds of hay
daily is quote sudlieient for n draft
horse. The mangers of work horses
on many farms are kept constantly
supplied with hay, which is not only
wasterul but injurious to the animal
as well, Recent researches have
sinner: that unlsculnr effort is large-
ly sustained by the eilrbe-hydrates
and fats of the food, and it is prob-
ably true that rations composed of
the nrdirary farm products, meadow

ly rich is protein without the addi-
tion of nitrogenous feeding stuffs.
Doubtless in cases of heavy labor,

man standards the nutritive ratio
shoultl be from 1.7 to 1,0 according
to the severity of labor, the daily

ance Of the driving or working

S05111 SAMPLE IRATIONS.
Some good rations for 1,000 -Ib.
horses at moderate work are suggest-
ed by Jordan:
1. Ten lbs, timothy or mixed hay,
114 lbs. oats,
2. Ten lbs. hay, 10e, lbs• oats and
barley, equal parts by weight.
3. Ten lbs. hay, 8 lbs. oats, 4 lbs.
brewers' grails.
4. Ten lbs. hay, 8 lbs, oats, 4 lbs,
wheat bran,
5. Eleven lbs. bay, Be lbs. earn,
4 lbs. wheat bran, 4 lbs. brewers'
grains.
6. Ten lbs, hay, 5 lbs, corn, 4,
lbs. barley.
7. Ten lbs, hay, 5 lbs, corn, 6e
lbs, wheat bran.
8. Ten lbs. hay, 5 lbs, corn, 6
lbs, brewers' grains.
9. Ten lbs, hay, 4t lbs. barley, 4
lbs. wheat bran, 8 lbs, brewers'
grains.
Silage, roots and other green food
may often be substituted for a min-
or part of the hay with advantage
to the animals' appetite and health.
Where to work is harder the
amount of grain in the ration
should be increased; but the amount
of hay should remain stationery. Tl,o
increase in feed should be greater
proportionately than the increase of
work done, and as a general rule
old horses should be fed Letter than
young ones. That judgment which
comps of experience will always bo
a safer guide than any mechanical
rules for feeding, but this is certain,
however, whatever feeding stuffs are
used, and whatever'ordcr of feeding
is adopted, regularity and uniformity
s110u1d at all times prevail in both
feeding and watering. If water is
always available, a hors() will not
take too much to injure himself, but
with working horses it will always
be found better to give then their
regular and largest supply previous
to feeding, and it may also be well
to supply a limited quantity after
feeding. When nntiCh heated or fa-
tigued a horse should have water
only in small quentil.ies,
The Arabs have a proverb -"host
and fat are the greatest enemies of
the horse." Hart labor or an abun-
dance of exercise should go hand in
Mand with heavy feeding, and when
a period of idleuees comes for the
horse the grain ration should Lc cut
down one half at least, or even
withdrawn altogether where the .fod-
der is of particanlarly good quali"ty.
W. 0. Edwards' Method of Feed-
ing -Some yea's ngo the W. C. Ed-
wards Co„ of Rockland, Ont.,

horses which has proved very satis-
