it is a hypnotic.
Some hypnotics will produce sleep
and will also produce bad and un-
desirable offelts, like depressant ac-
tion of'bhe'heart.
Such drugs are dangerous, and
particularly so when taken by the ad-
vice of a well-meaning, but inade-
quately informed friend.
It is always best to have the ad-
vice of an intdlligent physician be-
fore experimenting with such danger-
ous tools.
Even physicians are not infallible
in such matters and -have bean known
to overlook heart weakness or heart
injury or underestimate rte importance
in their -desire to relieve one who is in
need of•sleep.
Want of sleep, or insomnia, is a
terrible affliction, What would one
not give for sleep when suffering pain,
hour after hour? When one is sleep-
ing, physical pain does not exist, for
there must be consiciousness in order
to appreciate pain.
Sleep Is more refreshing than food;
you can live without food a long time,
many days, but not without sleep.
The discovery of hypnotles was a
blessed thing for + those who suffer, and
the new ones are, in many respects, at
least, better than the old ones.
By the new ones, I mean those
which Modern chemistry, by analysis
and synthesis, has given us in great
numbers, sometimes embarrassingly
so, and which also are greatly abused.

Message to Farriers.
Hon. T. A, Crerar, alinist'er of
Agriculture, has sent out the follow-
ing
ollow
ing message to Canadian' farmers,
asking them in order to avert a fam-
ine to plant every possible acre in
wheat: "Let me again draw the at-
tention of the farmers of Canada to
the great need there is of plaa,ting
every acre of land in wheat that seems
favorable to growing it. The news
that conies daily of that awful, grim
struggle now being fought in France
and Flanders brings home to us clear-
ly and dnsnistakably this fact—that,
after almost four years' war, human
libeity•is still in the balance. The cal,
for men is urgent, and they must, to
the full limit of our. power, be sent.
Their places at home must be taken
by those who remain. Despite the.
difficulties, we must produce more food
than we have 'e'er• done before. Set
apart all your land fit for growing
crops and plant as much wheat as you
can. Plan to bring as much new land
on your farm under cultivation as
possible, and thus increase your acre-
age for next year. It will be needed
then just as much as now!'
Barley As Hog Feed.
Barley will supply grain for hogs
s'ooher than any other crop, A large
number of farmers have been asking
about this crop because of the scarcity
of mature corn for feeding hogs this
spring and summer, and because com-
mercial hog feeds are so costly.
Barley is about equal to corn, pound
for pound for feeding hogs. But
while corn does not need to be ground without an equal, for cattle, hogs or
for pigs, barley should. The grains, poultry.
are too small and hard to be masticat- In the unground or cracked state it

While the pigs may not like the barley On the cob if used judiciously it can

Drowsiness from the free use of let-

After the exciting effect of alcohol

every drunkard knows, until the

FLINT CORN FOR GRAIN •
Flint corn, as a grain crop in east-
ern Canada, has not received the at-
tention that it merits. At the pre-
sent crisis of food supply it the crop
that can be increased without disturb-
ing the system of rotation or cutting
down the acreage of any other cereal.
We do not increase production if we
cut down the acreage of one kind of
grain to grow another. By growing
flint corn we can increase the total
output of cereals without alteration or
detriment to our system of farming.
Utilization
Its value lies in its feeding adapt-
ability.

Paraldehyde is a relatively safe

Chloral is one of the best hypnotics

on the growing of several canning
crops under contract,
"I feel sure that there are many
general farmers who will read this
who might with advantage contract to
grow a :few acres of some of the can-
ning crops I have mentioned by join-

co-operatively their produce to the

tdons. Moreover, tho bgilding up of
