ALEXANDER, M.D. Because a woman walks Seam fifteen to twenty-five miles in doing a day's work, it is desirable that she be well shod .for hetjoutney. Too many 'wo- men think any shoe is good enotigh to wear at home, ao the dress thoe which is too shabby for "best" be- comes the work shoe. With styles whet they are at the present day, we know by exPerienee thci difficulty in getting the nice broad toe in a shoe that looks neat and business -like; and is above all things comfortable. A good shoe and a good looking shoe to weer tvhile doing our work and our -walking, is made 0.2 a last Which co-nsiders the outline of the human 'foot and not the outline de- sired by the shoe designees. ,It has a lotv brood heel, it fits snugly over the ankle and permits the toe to point forward in walking instead of point- ing dutwards. This thee is long enough -so that all the toes can spread in walking just as they do when you walk in your bare 'feet. The snug fit over the ankle depends upon the last on the shoe. The •smaller towns seldom stock a sh-oe that is narrower than a D 'last and as a result, the wo- man with a slender foot dims not get e shoe that fits at the ankle, unless she buys a sleoe that is too short for the toes. We do not blame the shoe man for this, but rather our *own lack -of judg- ment in permitting Inc changeable, sometimes feelish thing called "style" to tell us just how aur feet are to be deformed this year and the next. Of COOTSCI we do have &hoes. made now that confeem to the foot, but these are stout, mannish shoes with heavy soles and heavy calfskin leath- er, or occasionally, you will find a shoe made after th-e style of fifty years ago 'with a five -inch top and an extra long vamp.'

These ponies were the best that could be procured in their native land. They remained far three years the property of the king, and were then distributed among the :banners. of Canada; in order to encourage Inc developmen of agriculture. Some few years ago the pedigree records for the Freneh Canadian horse, maintained! by the Quebec Gov ernment, were transferred to Inc Na tioneS Live Steel( Records, Other steps have been taken to maintain the breed as pure as peesible. One of the latest methods, as pointed out In the cbulletin which ,eun ;be obtained from the Publications Branch of the De- partment of Agriculture, Ottawa, has been the establishment of a borse- breeding faren at St. Joachim, situat- ed so.me twenty-five miles east of Quebec City, This farm, which is op- erated under the Experimental Fame system, has some thirty well selected brood Mares. These, toegther with fifteen of similar quality, kept on the Experimental St:tett:1i at Cap Rouge, Que., form a collection from which it is hoped -to produce a superior new foundation stock for the .breed.

In 1020 the population of -Inc island is 275, says the staid l3ritien senates - taker. Behind that dey figure lurks a Singel-mil history, gripping in ro- mance. For mice the mutineers had burned their ship in Bounty bay, they $et to drinking, gambling and quarrel- ing over the Polynesian wives whom they had imported from a larger IS - land in Tahiti. One man, John Adams, who had been leader in the rebellion, was at length the only full-grown man left alive. A virtue, king,, he resolved to , bring up the sons of his former cronies las doceat men. He sot up schools, a -1government, and when the ship Tagus touched there, quite by accident, in 1817, Adams told the %kipper he'd like to liave his' nation made is part of the British Empire.

We always have a supply of freseIy- grown rhubarb in winter. Our plants flourish in a few old grocery boxes set in a dark cerner M the basement. Just before freezin-g weather ar- rives' we dig up ea, many roots as we think need,, -and put them on the ground where they are allowed .to freeze hard. Then we place them oe a thin bed ,of straw, min aiso throw some straw over them. 'We are care- ful n•ot to injure the -roots in digging them up, and try to get as many roots as possible. These things are im- NrAtanet the. ftrooks are frozen solid eve remove them to the boxes in the base- ment and cover thom with sand. This we always keep moist, and try to maintain a temperature of at Mast 50 degrees F. hi Inc room. The stove neatems the same •effect on Inc frozen roots as has the spring weather, and in- about twenty-five days they usually bein to produce shoots which grow into large stalks almost as rapidly as in summer. These can be picked off, and ethers will ,come out in -abun- dance. • We have never needed more than fifteen roots to supply a faintly of six all winter. Digging the roots anal giving them Inc necessary attention s less troublesome than canning the rhubarb; besides, the freshly -grown stock is much more delicious than the eanned. Winter -forced rhubarb is even more delicate and tasteful than hat grown in summer. Publications Available for Distribution.
