War -Worker Describes Thrifty hab-

people make of the rabbit ---although

staple, the pigs
Vi'iters to our place in the French
village, says Miss Canfield, always
snapped to gaze at the well construct-
ed brick rabbit hutches with care-
fully made' 'attire gales and cement
floors, 1 httsteued to explain that the
rabbits were not for the children to
play with, but that they forin an im-
portant part of the activities of
every cmuntl•y family in the region,
and supply for many people the only
meat they ever eat except the oc-
casional fowl in the pot for a fete
day. They take the place, as far as
I could see, of the farm family's hog,
and are, to my mind, a great im-
provement on him. Their flesh is
much better food than the hog's, and
since the animal is so small and so
prolific he provides a steady succes-
sion all the year round of fresh meat,
palatable and savory, not smoked and
salted into indigestibility like most
of our country pork.
In addition, it costs virtually no-
thing to raise them. They are given
scrape from the kitchen and garden
—the potato and other vegetable
parings, the carrot tops, the pea
vines after they have stopped bear-
ing, the outer leave of the cabbages
and herbage of all sorts that other-
wise would he lost. Every afternoon
the old women of the town, armed
with gunny sacks and eiskles, go out
for an -hour or so of fresh air and
exercise. The phrase is that they
va a Uherbe (go for the grass). It
is often a lively expedition, with the
children skipping and shouting beside
their grandmother, or one of the big -
bee boys pushing the wheelbarrow,
cherished and indispensable accessory
of French country life. They take
what with us would be a"walk in the
country," and as they pass they levy
toll an every sod beside the road or
in a corner of a wall; on the fresh
green leaves and twigs of neglected
thickets; on brambles and weeds,—
rabbits adore weeds!—on underbrush
and vines,
Since seeing these patient, ruddy,
vigorous, white -capped old women at
their work, I have made another
guess at the cause of the miraculous
ly neat and ordered aspect of French
landscapes. Toward` twilight, the
procession of old women and chil-
dren, red-cheeked and hungry, turns
ger boys pushing the wheelbarrow,
loaded and sacks bursting with food
that otherwise would have served no
human purpose. No need to give the
rabbit, as we do the hog, expensive
golden corn, fit for our own food. The
rabbit lives, and lives well, on the
unconsidered and unmissed crumbs
from Mother Nature's table.
QUAINT REMEDIES.
Do You Fancy Swallowing Live Spid-
ers as a Cure For Jaundice?
The patient of old did not differ
from his twentleth-century descendant
in liking a smack of mystery with his
drug, and the early practitioner was
apt to play up to this little weakness,
just as the modern faith -healer and.
quack do to this day. The constant
recommendation of drugs for "black-
0110see or bruisinge coming of strypes"
was striking, Thus of the virtue of
Solomon's coal it was said: "Tile root
stamped while it is fresh and greens
and applied, taketh away in one night,
o1• two at the Most, any bruise, black
or blew° spots gotten by falls or we -
man's wistfulness in stumbling upon
their husband's fists or such like,"
The majority of people at the pre-
sent day, however, would be sceptical
of accepting the following remedies:
A live spider rolled in butter, and
swallowed as a pill, was recommended
as a cure for jaundice. One was ad-
vised to cut all a look of one's hair
and drink it with wine or beer, to curs
Plague.
Most remarkable, however, was the
belief wllieh our ancestors had in man'
as a medicine, The skull, the blood,
the hair—nothing canine amiss or was
too revolting. Most valued of all was
the skulls of persons who had died
violent deaths. The heads of o'imin••
als who had been hanged were, there-
fore, highly prized, and fetched as
notch as eight shillings to eleven shil-
lings apiece if moss had grown on
then, 'A sympathetic ointment was
made of this moss hi the seventeenth
century—au infallible remedy against
epilepsy. The skull itself was podder-
ed. Charles 11., when he suffered
from apoplexy, was ordered by his
form' physicians twenty-five drops of
spirits from human skuils.
In the seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries there was a profound belief
in powdered mulnnies as internal re.

nounced this remedy because it led

1111s Ito reason why the cil)1) :went
should net be made 1111 a e'0000crcia1
scale. As a reeult about two acres of
tomatoes were set out last eullmm01' on
' land Wined by Mr. Kerr, a few miles
eget of Lethbridge. The pitting were
started mater KIlIel in Lethbridge and
set out on Julie 0, 7 and 0, at whiell
tiuu+
they were from 6 to N Melee; in
height. 'Three thousand lire hundred
plants were set in the plot, some of
them three feet apart and some four
feet apart. The experience of the sea-
son seems to indicate that the four
foot pliant to preferable.
P11e soil secured was an old pasture
which had since been in ali'alta and
is protected by a wind breast of trees
on the western slcle. It is a very rich
loam with a gentle south slope and,
of course, is irrigated. The land was
cultivated in the ordinary way and ir-
rigated before planted and three times
afterwards.
The first of the ripe fruit was avail-
able seven weeks after setting out
the plants, or about Ole end of July.
During the month of August from five
to six hundred pounds of beautiful ripe
fruit was taken off the plot each day
and this rate of production continued
into September. The total yield of the
plot is estimated at 35,000 pounds and
a ready market was found for the pro-
duct in the city of Lethbridge, the ear-
ly ripe tomatoes bringing twenty -flue
cents a pound and the latter crop fif-
teen cents a pound. Teo gross price
of 15,000 pounds at the latter figure Is
$5,250,
According to Mr. Kerr, no difflcul-
ALBERTA
ties were experienced in the produ0-
t.lon of this crop. The vluoe were
trimmed e erly in July for the purpose
of predueung heavier fruit and mina ad-

Up to the middle of September no
damage had been experienced from
frost, although as a preeautiunery
temente() flux straw llltd been dumped
about the plot, so that srnnetgeo could

points out that the eelsentiul thing in
the production of this crop was the ir-
rigation, which not tinny increased the
amount of fruit, but by affording
ample moisture at 111e right tinge re-
sulted In earlyeripening, Without ir-
rigation it is doubtful if the experi-
ment would have been at all success-
ful, and while it is not suggested that
every person c1111 go into tomato rais-
ing in Southern Alberta and produce
$2,600 per acre the experience in this
case is at leust instructive as to what
these irrigated lands tire capable of.
It is not too much to say that such
lands, if located In the mountainous
part of the continent, would be sold
at many hundreds of dollars per acre,
but because they are found in Alberta
1u practically limitless sweeps of
prairie they are still sold ready for
the plow at less than what would be
the cost of clearing them in even light-
ly timbered regions. Their very
abundance snakes it difficult to grasp
their value but there is little doubt
that some day they will be the home
of the most productive and closely
settled agricultural cOniniunity on the
continent.
THE VERSATILE CHINAMAN,
Possesses the Quality of Being Able
to Adapt Himself to Varied
Conditions.
I1i commenting upon the marvelous
adaptability of the Chinese, Mr.
Charles Ernest Scott, in his book,
China From Within, quotes Bishop
Pewter's picturesque tribute to our
Oriental neighbor.
The Chinaman as Bishop Fowler
says, crosses all seas, burrows into
all continents. He excels the Saxon
in ability to toil in all ciimates; he
snatches the Russian in enduring Arc-
tic storms; he surpasses the Negro in
laboring in the tropics. He is the one
cosmopolitan, at Bone everywhere, as
if he owned the world. Silent, gentle,
submissive, industrious, economical,
temperate, enduring -- he thrives
everywhere, on mountains, in the de-
serts, on the plains, on the islands of
the sea.
As the serpent, with Itis one ability
to crawl, competes in all realms,—
without tins swims with the Ash, with-
out hands climbs with the monkey,
without feet runs with the panther, --
so the Chinaman, with his supreme
gift of adaptability, competes success-
fully with the sailor on the sea, with
the frontiersman it the wilderness,
with the miner in the earth, with the
exile in his wanderings. He never
asks fu' 0 fair chance, and never gets
it. He takes a chance beneath the
notice of anyone else's contempt, and
succeeds. Once landed, be abides.
The individual changes, but the kind
continues. All governments that let
mini alone suit trim. He never breeds
or johns revolutions abroad. He is
versatile; and all industries that have
a possible margin attract (nim. Like a
mongoose, he can run through any pas-
sageway, Although fond of a palace,
ho can live in a hut; although fond of
space, he can live in a sewer pipe—
and be at home anywhere.

Value of Paint in Good Farming.
Money spent y for paint invariably
adds its cost to the selling value, and
sometimes many times over. An ex-
ample is furnished by John J, Dug-
gan, who bought a first-class but ill -
kept farm four years ago for $8,000,
The grounds surrounding the house
and outbuildings were littered with
scrap lumber and were in general
disorder. The buildings badly need-
ed repairs at doors, steps, roofs and
elsewhere, and were thirsty for paint.
The pig -pens and hen -house were
eyesores. The front fence, a nec-
essity because of the stock which
passed along the road, was a run-
down board affair. The improve-
ments at heart were good enough,
strong and substantial, but they had
suffered from lack of care.
Duggan gave all the buildings a
coat of paint. The paint called for
other improvements. He whitewash-
ed the henhouse inside and out, He
substituted neat woven wire for the
front board fence, and put in lasting
concrete posts where rotting wood
posts and rickety gates had been. He
repaired and hung doors properly,
fixed up the roofs and built on new
porches. The result created a real
sensation in the country round about.
It inspired several neighbors to make
similar improvements.
Duggan says he could sell the
farm to -day for $12,000. Real estate
values have gone up somewhat mean-
while, but it is a safe assumption
that he bought the farm below its
real value because of the unkempt
nature of the improvements. Much
credit mist go to paint, whitewash,
nails, concrete, and other every -day
materials used in "fixing up." Dug-
gan says the total cost of these did
not exceed $G00.
Too many .Ontario farmers are
notably deficient in the things that
make them pleasant places to live. A
;Farmer keeping excellent stock, and
using numerous mechanical devices, in
his barns, often lives in an unpainted,
run-down dwelling on disorderly
premises. Many a farmer neglects
his premises on the principle* that "a
painted house doesn't grow any po-
tatoes, or make a cow give more
milk."
Nut onl'• do paint, concrete well -
kept fences, and constant attention
to little repairs, greatly enhance the
selling value of farm property out
of proportion to cost, but they have
an even more important psychologi-
cal influence on the fanner and his
family which indirectly makes for
better farming and better farm pro-
fits. The time is coming when farm-
ers will use paint and such like in
the same spirit that so many business
men attend conscientiously to the
daily shave. The Great War showed
the world that the smooth -shaven
soldier in clean clothes fought bet-
ter, We are coming to realize that
the farmer with well -painted, neatly -
kept farm premises farms better.

speak highly of this medicine is Mrs.
Louis D. Larsh, Windsor, 0111., who
says:—"It would be impossible for
me to recommend Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills too highly. Some years ago I was
very thin and pale; I suffered many
of the symptoms of anaemia, and al-
ways felt tired, depressed and weak.
I had tried several medicines, but they
did not seem to help Inc. Then acting
on the advice of a friend; I began tatt-
ing Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Before I
had used half a dozen boxes I was
actually feeling lilee a new person and
had gained nine pouuds in weight.
I continued taking the pills until I

SPRING TIME IS PAINT TIME.
At the recent annual meeting of the
Commission of Conservation, Zion.
Senator Edwards made the statement
that unless Canada exercised more
care with her forest resources, the day
was not far distant when we would be
without our supplies of lumber,
While this statement referred par-
ticularly to the protection of forests,
it might with equal force be applied
to the protection of our buildings,
fences, fare implements, etc., for the
reason that, in the latter case, there
is not only the value of the original
forest product to protect, but also the
value of the human energy necessary
for the transformation of that timber
into its various wood products.
Spring, from time immemorial, has
been known as house-cleaning time.
During recent years this period has
developed a popular slogan,"Clean up
and paint up." As a conservation
measure this would be bard to lin-
mem upon. Wood, when exposed to
the weather without protection soon
deteriorates, it bears a shabby and
neglected appearance, and Is in a great
majority of cases but an indication
of
the enterprise or carelessness of the
owner.
Our soteliers are coming home, they
are coming from a country of homes,
where thrift is paramount, where the
people take pride in their premises
e1 c1 keep them in tho best condition.
Can we not, this spring, bear this in
mind, and let our boys see that the
home folks have awakened to the
advantages of cleaning up and paint-
ing up, that their homes bear that
well -]rept and cheery appearance that
bids them welcome?
Old -Fashioned Logic.
I guess the world is better than 'twas
when I was young,
The sheriff's not so busy and there's
fewer people hung.
And work is not se killing when it's
all done with machines;
The only place that wears now is the
seat of my blue jeans.
But when I see a mower a-cliekin'
down the hay,
It takes Inc back in mem'ry to the
scythe and whetstone way,
When we swung through the meadow
with bold and even strokes,
And those that sort of lagged became
the butt Of friendly jokes,
We kept a jug of water underneath
a cock of hay,
You'll have to take my word for how
it chased the thirst away.
Those good old 'days aro golden, but
I suppose, somehow,
The present time will look as fine
sono fifty years from now,

proved to be a newly arrived cockney
private.
"Do you realize, ivy man," the gen-

pivot man of the British army?"
The private saluted,
"Great honor, my nun," the general
continued. "You are the first outpost
of the British Empire. 1, your general,
shake hands with you."
The private saluted, hail his hand
shaken, saluted dazedly again, and
watched the general till he was out of

"S'y, Sergeant," the cockney then
asked, "what di(1 the old 'un mean

"What he meant, my boy," the so'-

"Flowers seem intended for the
solace of ordinary humanity; children
love them; 1uiet, contented, ordinary
people love thein as they grow; lux-
urtous and disorderly people rejoice
in them gathered; they are the cot-
tagers' treasure, and in the crowded
town mark, us with a little broken
: fragrant of rainbow the windows of
the Vverkere in whose hearts rests the
covenant of peace."—Ruskin,

tainable.

"Nothing is so commonplace as
to wish to be remarkable. Fame
usually comes to those who are
thinking about something else—very
rarely to those who say to them
selves, "Go to, now, let us be a cele•
heated individual,""—Oliver Wendell
Holmes.

Wild flowers that used to cover out
land with beauty are rapidly disap•
peering. If those who gather the
flowers would be satisfied to pull only
a few blossoms instead of filling their
arms with them, and would take care
not to disturb the roots, there would
be enough flowers another year for
other people.
