A Deal Between Gentlemen
One day an old Southerner walked
into a banker's office. The Southern-
er was a typical gentleman of the
old school.
"What can I do for you ?" asked
the banker,
"Well," replied the Southerner,
"about thirty-five years ago I loaned
a man down South some money—not
a very big sum. I told , him that
whenever I should need it I would let
him know and he could pay me the
money. I need some money now, so
1 shall let hint know, and 1 would
like to have you transact the busI-
ness for me,"
"ply good friend," replied the
banker, "you have no claim on that
money. The statute of limitations
has run against that loan years and
years ago."
"Sir," replied the Southerner, "the
mat to whom I loaned that money is
a gentleman. The statute of limita-
tions never runs up against a gentle-
man."
So the banker sent for the money.
Within a reasonable time thereafter
the money carte, '!'here was a gentle-
man at the other end of the (Tanen-
ti on 'also.

The clergyman who has humor and

Bishop, as reported lit an English
paper, who asked a miner why he
never went. to church. "Wily, yott
see, sit, We like this," was the re-
ply ; "the int tittle I went to that-
ch they threw water in my face, and
the second time they tied hie to a
woman I've hat' to keep cVer, sines."

be taet, that regular dislafection
01 rile stables is 501 a common prat-.
tine int Canada Is suffieieitt evidence
that we as farmers are not thorough
pr do we appxeolate the importance
of the health of our animals, As in
other °entries, disease of animals is
responsible for tbe, loss to farmers of
manyilli
millions of dollars annually.
Such diseases as tuberculosis„ abor-
tiuoci scours, blackleg, glanders', hog
cholera, eta„ take enormous toll from
Mir revenues. Again parasites such
as lice, ticks, etc., each, year cause
the waste of enormous amounts .of
expensive feed to say nothing of the
losses in produetion•of milk, meat,
and young stock. Farmers of Oan-
ada itis your duty and your best
business to stop these losses, Don't
wait till animals die of disease or
are emaciated and hairless from par-
asites before discovering trouble,
Diseases are •spread more rapidly,
when animals are confined in winter
quarters.
One of the most important factors
in cheap and healthy wintering of
animals is clean quarters and no
quarters can be kept clean and free
from disease and parasites without
disinfection at least twice annually.
The basis ofdisinfection is direct
,contaot. Disease germs under a
layer of manure, straw or dirt, can-
not bo killed by average disinfection.
Hence the first step is the thorough
cleaning out of the barns, scraping
(and washing, if possible,) all walls
and floors, and sweeping dirt, dust
and cobwebs from walls and ceilings.
Wood floors should be repaired and
earth floors renewed with a layer of
clean soil.
What Disinfectants to Use.
1, Sunlight. 'i'his is the cheapest
and one of the hest. Every, stable
should have at least 0 sq. -ft. of glass
per mature head of horses and cat-
tle, and one-quarter this amount for
calves and mature hogs. Sunlight
induces cleanliness, health, comfort,
and greater profits.
2. Whitewash : A good whitewash
applied hot to ceilings and' walls
covers and kills germs and parasites.
Add drug disinfectant, such as Car-
bolic Acid, if barns have housed dis-
eased animals, Apply with spray
punip or brush.
3. Drug Disinfectants : All floors,
gutters and mangers should receive
extra care. Disinfect by `soaking
thorotighly with one of the coal tar
distillates such as Kreso, Wescol,
Zenoleum, Creolin, eta, etc., applied
in water solutian 3 to 0 percent.
varying with strength of disinfec-
tant. Apply with spray pump or
sprinkled. and brush in.
The Health of Animals Branch,
Department of Agriculture, Ottawa,
can supply free instructions in select-
ing and preparing whitewash disin-
fectants.
Thoroughness in the above disinfec-
tion is most important. .
The intelligent stockman intent on
maintaining healthy stock finds it
wise to disinfect mangers and feed
passages more frequently. A light
spraying monthly will suffice.
Practise proves that disinfection is
cheap insurance and an investment
yielding a high rate of interest. If
Canadian farmers unitedly will but
realize this, our animal disease and
losses there from would decrease 20
percent. per annum.
Canada Had Better Get
a Move on
A grave statement on the 'lack of
business method by some firms which
is hurting the general Canadian repu-
tation in Great Britain is contained
in a corttsnienicatiott from Mr. Henry
13. 'Thomson of the Canadian Trade
Commission, now in London in an
advisory capacity with' the London
Mission. lie says :
"It has been brought to our notice
by several. firms here that Canadian
manufacturers and others are very
lax in not replying to correspondence
and enquiries, and tit is ' having the
effect of creating an impression that
Canada as a whole is not looking fox
business, or making much effort to
get it. Trifles of this kind create a
false idea, as the people in the U.S.
are very particular about prompt re-
ply to enquiries, and furthermore
carry on a regular follow-up course
of correspondence. Not only has it a
bad effect in creating an impression
of slackness; but it is also causing
some of .the importers hero to tnatco
strong representations to the Gov-
ernment to remove the import trade
restrictions with outer cottntries that
are not within the Empire. At the
present moment, Canada is, as you
are well aware, particularly favoured
in this regard as compared with the
United States, but if the representa-
tions of the importers aro, sufficiently
Strong and insistent, the Government

on hand, or do not deal in the com-
modities they are asked about, sure-

them to write a note to the English

tion to them,"

$EGRET OF FRENCH CULTURE
Vibrating !Saline' Between Head and
Heart at Top Speed, le Deduction
of Magnin* Welter.
•
Intensely alive, le the chief impred-
slop one has el the French, writes
John Geleworthy in the Atlantic, They
balance between head and heart at top
speed in a sort or electric and eternal
see -saw. It is this perpetual quick
change which gives them, 1t seems to
me, their special grip on actuality;
they never fly Into the cloud regions of
theories and dreams; their heads have
not time before their hearts have inter-
versed, their hearts not time before
their heads cry, "Hold!" They appre-
hand both wields, but with such rapid
alternation that they surrender to
neither.
The secret of French culture ilea in
this vibrating balance; from quick
marriage of mind, and heart, reason
and sande, in the French nature, all
the clear created fortes of French life
arise, forms recognized as forms with
definite utility attached. Controlled
expression is the result of action and
reaction.°
Controlled expression is the
essence of culture, because it alone
makes a sufficiently clear appeal in a
world which is Itself the result of the
incalculable interplay of complemen-
tary or dual laws and forces.
French culture Is near to the real
heart of things, because it has a sort
of quick sanity that never loses its
way; or, when it does, very rapidly re-
covers the middle of the road.
PRINCESS IS CZAR'S MANAGER
'Eudoxia, Eldest Daughter of Ruler of
Bulgaria, Said to Be Cleverest
of Family.
Princess Budoxia, the eldest daugh-
ter of the czar of Bulgaria, Is said to
be the cleverest member of Ferdinand's
family. She manages the Sofia palace,
receives ministers and envoys and
apologizes to them for Ferdinand's
mysterious absences; runsFerdtnand's
farm at Vttoseb when Ferdinand is not
hiding there; directs bis business spec•
ulations and his enormous private
wealth, and, In particular, runs his big
land -development scheme around Chas-
kovo, near the Turkish frontier.
Eudoxia is black-eyed, lively and
pretty, with an ambition, Sofia declares,
to be married quickly, and cynics add
that Ferdinand chose the German side
instead of the allies' because Germany
has vast supplies of bridegrooms of
royal, princely nud ducal blood. In
Sofia, Eudoxle is known as "Balkanska
Dteva"—the Maid of the Balkans. In
summer she mattes solitary tours In
the hills, puts up in shepherds' huts,
and shocks Ferdinand, who is n timid
man with a sharp distrust of his sub-
jects, and a faith, Inherited from a
thousand years of Bourbon ancestors,

A Deal Between Gentlemen
One day an old Southerner walked
into a banker's office. The Southern-
er was a typical gentleman of the
old school.
"What can I do for you ?" asked
the banker,
"Well," replied the Southerner,
"about thirty-five years ago I loaned
a man down South some money—not
a very big sum. I told , him that
whenever I should need it I would let
him know and he could pay me the
money. I need some money now, so
1 shall let hint know, and 1 would
like to have you transact the busI-
ness for me,"
"ply good friend," replied the
banker, "you have no claim on that
money. The statute of limitations
has run against that loan years and
years ago."
"Sir," replied the Southerner, "the
mat to whom I loaned that money is
a gentleman. The statute of limita-
tions never runs up against a gentle-
man."
So the banker sent for the money.
Within a reasonable time thereafter
the money carte, '!'here was a gentle-
man at the other end of the (Tanen-
ti on 'also.

never went. to church. "Wily, yott
see, sit, We like this," was the re-
ply ; "the int tittle I went to that-

be taet, that regular dislafection
01 rile stables is 501 a common prat-.
tine int Canada Is suffieieitt evidence
that we as farmers are not thorough
pr do we appxeolate the importance
of the health of our animals, As in
other °entries, disease of animals is
responsible for tbe, loss to farmers of
manyilli
millions of dollars annually.
Such diseases as tuberculosis„ abor-
tiuoci scours, blackleg, glanders', hog
cholera, eta„ take enormous toll from
Mir revenues. Again parasites such
as lice, ticks, etc., each, year cause
the waste of enormous amounts .of
expensive feed to say nothing of the
losses in produetion•of milk, meat,
and young stock. Farmers of Oan-
ada itis your duty and your best
business to stop these losses, Don't
wait till animals die of disease or
are emaciated and hairless from par-
asites before discovering trouble,
Diseases are •spread more rapidly,
when animals are confined in winter
quarters.
One of the most important factors
in cheap and healthy wintering of
animals is clean quarters and no
quarters can be kept clean and free
from disease and parasites without
disinfection at least twice annually.
The basis ofdisinfection is direct
,contaot. Disease germs under a
layer of manure, straw or dirt, can-
not bo killed by average disinfection.
Hence the first step is the thorough
cleaning out of the barns, scraping
(and washing, if possible,) all walls
and floors, and sweeping dirt, dust
and cobwebs from walls and ceilings.
Wood floors should be repaired and
earth floors renewed with a layer of
clean soil.
What Disinfectants to Use.
1, Sunlight. 'i'his is the cheapest
and one of the hest. Every, stable
should have at least 0 sq. -ft. of glass
per mature head of horses and cat-
tle, and one-quarter this amount for
calves and mature hogs. Sunlight
induces cleanliness, health, comfort,
and greater profits.
2. Whitewash : A good whitewash
applied hot to ceilings and' walls
covers and kills germs and parasites.
Add drug disinfectant, such as Car-
bolic Acid, if barns have housed dis-
eased animals, Apply with spray
punip or brush.
3. Drug Disinfectants : All floors,
gutters and mangers should receive
extra care. Disinfect by `soaking
thorotighly with one of the coal tar
distillates such as Kreso, Wescol,
Zenoleum, Creolin, eta, etc., applied
in water solutian 3 to 0 percent.
varying with strength of disinfec-
tant. Apply with spray pump or
sprinkled. and brush in.
The Health of Animals Branch,
Department of Agriculture, Ottawa,
can supply free instructions in select-
ing and preparing whitewash disin-
fectants.
Thoroughness in the above disinfec-
tion is most important. .
The intelligent stockman intent on
maintaining healthy stock finds it
wise to disinfect mangers and feed
passages more frequently. A light
spraying monthly will suffice.
Practise proves that disinfection is
cheap insurance and an investment
yielding a high rate of interest. If
Canadian farmers unitedly will but
realize this, our animal disease and
losses there from would decrease 20
percent. per annum.
Canada Had Better Get
a Move on
A grave statement on the 'lack of
business method by some firms which
is hurting the general Canadian repu-
tation in Great Britain is contained
in a corttsnienicatiott from Mr. Henry
13. 'Thomson of the Canadian Trade
Commission, now in London in an
advisory capacity with' the London
Mission. lie says :
"It has been brought to our notice
by several. firms here that Canadian
manufacturers and others are very
lax in not replying to correspondence
and enquiries, and tit is ' having the
effect of creating an impression that
Canada as a whole is not looking fox
business, or making much effort to
get it. Trifles of this kind create a
false idea, as the people in the U.S.
are very particular about prompt re-
ply to enquiries, and furthermore
carry on a regular follow-up course
of correspondence. Not only has it a
bad effect in creating an impression
of slackness; but it is also causing
some of .the importers hero to tnatco
strong representations to the Gov-
ernment to remove the import trade
restrictions with outer cottntries that
are not within the Empire. At the
present moment, Canada is, as you
are well aware, particularly favoured
in this regard as compared with the
United States, but if the representa-
tions of the importers aro, sufficiently
Strong and insistent, the Government

parently so, within the Deletion.
Itiven if they have not got the stocks
on hand, or do not deal in the com-
modities they are asked about, sure-
ly it would be a simple matter for
them to write a note to the English

tion to them,"

$EGRET OF FRENCH CULTURE
Vibrating !Saline' Between Head and
Heart at Top Speed, le Deduction
of Magnin* Welter.
•
Intensely alive, le the chief impred-
slop one has el the French, writes
John Geleworthy in the Atlantic, They
balance between head and heart at top
speed in a sort or electric and eternal
see -saw. It is this perpetual quick
change which gives them, 1t seems to
me, their special grip on actuality;
they never fly Into the cloud regions of
theories and dreams; their heads have
not time before their hearts have inter-
versed, their hearts not time before
their heads cry, "Hold!" They appre-
hand both wields, but with such rapid
alternation that they surrender to
neither.
The secret of French culture ilea in
this vibrating balance; from quick
marriage of mind, and heart, reason
and sande, in the French nature, all
the clear created fortes of French life
arise, forms recognized as forms with
definite utility attached. Controlled
expression is the result of action and
reaction.°
Controlled expression is the
essence of culture, because it alone
makes a sufficiently clear appeal in a
world which is Itself the result of the
incalculable interplay of complemen-
tary or dual laws and forces.
French culture Is near to the real
heart of things, because it has a sort
of quick sanity that never loses its
way; or, when it does, very rapidly re-
covers the middle of the road.
PRINCESS IS CZAR'S MANAGER
'Eudoxia, Eldest Daughter of Ruler of
Bulgaria, Said to Be Cleverest
of Family.
Princess Budoxia, the eldest daugh-
ter of the czar of Bulgaria, Is said to
be the cleverest member of Ferdinand's
family. She manages the Sofia palace,
receives ministers and envoys and
apologizes to them for Ferdinand's
mysterious absences; runsFerdtnand's
farm at Vttoseb when Ferdinand is not
hiding there; directs bis business spec•
ulations and his enormous private
wealth, and, In particular, runs his big
land -development scheme around Chas-
kovo, near the Turkish frontier.
Eudoxia is black-eyed, lively and
pretty, with an ambition, Sofia declares,
to be married quickly, and cynics add
that Ferdinand chose the German side
instead of the allies' because Germany
has vast supplies of bridegrooms of
royal, princely nud ducal blood. In
Sofia, Eudoxle is known as "Balkanska
Dteva"—the Maid of the Balkans. In
summer she mattes solitary tours In
the hills, puts up in shepherds' huts,
and shocks Ferdinand, who is n timid
man with a sharp distrust of his sub-
jects, and a faith, Inherited from a
thousand years of Bourbon ancestors,
that women, like men, of royal blood
are three times sacred.
