Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills will build ue the unstrung nervous system, and strengthen the weak heart, so that the sufferer will enjoy the very best of health' for years to come. Mrs. John N.

At times my heart would beat violently, and 'my nerves seemed to be all out cf order, but after using a few boxes of Milburn's Heart and Nerve P111s I feel like recommending them to others that they knight receive benefit as I did." Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills have been on the market for the past twenty- five years, and are universally considered to be unrivalled as a medicine for all disorr.ers of the heart or nerves.

Keep Chimney Clean The cleaning of a chimney is an easy matter if you'll just put a little brains into it. Get an ordinary stiff. bristled scrub brush, cut it in half t- a and fasten the halves together with an ordinary hinge. Mount the whole thing on a long mop handle and put a spring between the halves to hold them apart and against the sides of the pipe, Almost any old spring will do. Then all you need to do is to run the brush back and forth through the chimney. The spring forces the brush against the sides of the dirty+ smoke pipe and Means it out thoroughly.

Romance of Canes ' The general use of canes or walk- ing sticks was at one time forbidden in Rome by Imperial edict, except tb persona of patrician rank, thus mak- ing it a privilege which came to be popular among the nobility, and eventually a distinction. The women of that time carried them also, their richly and artistically decorated canes serving as a rod for the punishment of their slaves. The cane appeared in England as the badge of aristocracy 1n about the fifth century, but after serving this purpose for some time came into the hands of the humbler and was dropped bythose use of higher social standing. It was re-established in its true form by the pilgrims and soldiers returning from the Holy Lar d during the Crusades, and soon came into popularity again. The Salt of the Sea A regular task or the oceangraphers is to take observations of the saltness of the sea, which varies greatly in. different localities. They do this by sending down on the trawl line braes specimen bottles rirrangcd to till and close at any desired depth. Thus it has been learned that the North At. !antic isonsiel . r 1 a s ab y salter than the North Pacific, and that the sanest 0' all the great seas are the Mediter- ranean, the Reel and especially the Adriatic. Some patent statistician has calculated that if all salt in the sea were evaporated and spread eve' this country, It world cover Canada with salt more than a mile and a hal: deep.

Scheel. or Work 'Hours It is possiblethat the average young man in the rural community` to -day is more particular in the ,uses to which he puts his spare time, be they practical, cultural or recreational,', than is his urban contemporary. Some of the "side linea" to which -country, boys are' devoting themselves come to mind in this 'connection, says a writer in a Toronto paper. In the vicinity of Agincourt, coun`y "of York, some half dozen Young mein have made remarkable progress in the mastery of "wireless" mysteries. These boys have, in almost every case, made thee' own outfl s the few odds and ' ends which are cheap, but essential to the construe. tion. Talking to one ,of the wireless' devotees, the writer foundhim a verit- able 'prodigy.

In another part of Ontario, in the county of Kent, the writer found a room fitted up by two farm boys for experimental work. On a bench were bunsen burners, blow -pipes, test tubes, motors, telegraph instruments, etc. The oldest of these boys is nine- teen, and is deeply interested in the study of electricity. He has in the shop a complete electrical equipment, entirely home-made, and has installed electric bells, by which he can be summoned to dinner from the rest• dence, some rode away. The younger brother is an expert mechanician, and Ids end of the bench is littered with Wheels, pulleys and clockworks. How do these boys compare with the city youth of nineteen? DRESSING FOWL It Pays to Make Bird Look Inviting to Buyer • 11 chickens are not properly feather. ed up, some trouble will be experienc- ed xperienceed in getting the phi feathers all re- moved after killing, says The Farm and Ranch Review. A dull, round blade, something like a paring knife, may be used to good advantage. That the bird may present an attrae- tive appearance when dressed, caro should be taken not to tear, rub or break the skin. Each bird ahould be picked clean. It decreases the chances of selling at tht best price when a dirty job is done, pin feathers and even larger feathers being left scat- tered over the body. After picking carefully wipe all blood from the mouth, wash the feet, and clean the bird as well as possible. It pays In the ion,: run to be particular. if the highest class trade is to be catered to birds should be placed In shaping boards after being plucked, and a weight placed on the top of the chicken to give it a compact appear- ance. A brick will answer very we 1 for this purpose. It is folly to pack chickens for shipping or carting to market before they have been properly cooled. It would be safer to leave the birds in a cooling room for twelve or fifteen hours before attempting to box them. Where chickens are to be shipped a long distance they should be wrapped separately in pa.p.r. This prevents injury from brtiisia;; and is said to decrease chances of decom- position. Parchment paper is the only paper that should be used for this purpose, and boxes, to make them attractive, should also be lined with this material. The market price, more than many believe, depends upon the care taken, in the killing and dress - Ing of the birds.

CARE OF ROOKS The proper way to "break in" a book Is to lay it on its back on a table, and then open but a few leaves at a time, alternately at the front and at the back, until you reach the middle of the volume. Some readers have the bad habit of ]teepleg their place by opening the book until the covers meet, and then laying it down, still open. Limp lea- ther bound volumes will stand such treatment, but those bound in boards will not. Almost as bad is the trick of Iceeping your place by putting be- tween the leaves some bull;y object. • If a volume is left long near artifi- cial heat, eln-inksge andconsequent loosening will ensue just as certainly as with a piece o1 furniture. Leaving a book constantly in the sunshine will have the same effect, and in addition Will fade the covers. Damp places should' also be avoided. Bad packing, either for travel or for 'storage, has been the death of many a volume. Books should be fittedinto the trunk or the packing -ease tightly enough to prevent shifting and the re- sultant cross strains. Where a gap is unavoidable, stop it with paper. 1f possible, wrap the books in paper be. fore you pack them. Many book .cases are made without doors; but a curtain will keep out an astonishing amount of dust. Never- theless, dusting should be :both fre- quent and thorough. Nloone should leave his books long in a slanting post - tion on the shelf unless ho is willing that they should be permanently "lop- sided." Undeniably, paper covers are of some std in preserving the (rent, ap- pearance of books, but neither the ap- pearaece nor the feeling of a covered book 1s agreeable. Still, for those who have no objection to them, covers are a good Using. Nothing is better that, ordinary brown paper, except in some unusual cases, as, for example, the cookbook, which, as every good hoi8e- koeper knows, should be covered with oilelotll. UTILIZING FISH WASTE Expensive Processes Necesary to Save Bye -products of Salmon Fisheries One of the problems that has long confronted the operators of Ash carn. nerles is how best to dispose of can- nery waste: This waste is usually very heavy, , In the case of humpback salmon, It has been stated that "the waste is from 40 per cent: to 60 per cent, of the round weight." The waste from the "red" salmon is rather less, but it constitutes a serious lone. 1Accoril'ing to a'Governnent estimate the;, Waste at the Pacific Coast can- neries amo0uted to 140',210' tons in one year, which, .r>t values fixed at com- mercial : operations, would amount to over two million dollars. The 4protlucts obtained from the .re• duction of the wcste are fish scrap for fertilizer and fish ail. An average 'et several analyses of the raw waste' front humpback ealnson' showed that It contained 3;04 per cent.. nhtrcgln, 3.46per cent: bone phosphate and 10.43 per cent of ail. At retail prices this would give a Value of $l0 a ton. It would seem des sable, therefore, to establish fish reduction, pants in the. neighborhood of the larger can- :neries to utilize tho waste. One difikcuity, however, has been that the canning industry is carried on for only a short time each year, and, as the fish reduction plants are expensive, considerable capital would be kept idle during most of the year! On the Atlantic coast of the United States this handicap has been over- come largely by gathering iu enor- moils quantities of menhaden, a epcles of henr:ng, and converting these into fertilizer and oil. Nearly 50 fac- tories, having a total invested capital of over 51,100,000, are engaged in this latter industry. In 1912, they pro- duced 6,651,000 gallons of oil, valued at 51,551,990, and 88,520 tons of scrap valued at 52,138,195. Again, the kelp resources of the Pacific coast, which are being 10908 !- gated by Prof. Prince, are without doubt of great value, and may pos- sibly be exploited to advantage by those operating the Ash scrap industry. In any event, the utilization of fish waste will not lie an bntire success until the cost of the process ot re- duction is lowered, or means are found for keeping the plants in operation for longer periods each year. It is a field deserving close attention from those interested in Canada's fisheries —A.D., in "Conservation."

A Mountain of Salt A mountain of rock salt 300 feet In height and nearly a mile in diamet- er is described by Prof. 30, F. Gautier, as being situated near Jetta, Algeria. Two other Bills of this character are known in Algeria, both being near Bis- kra, and in all cases the salt is sur- rounded by Triassic naris and clays, A curious feature of the Jetta hill is the fact that, in spite of the very soluble character of the material composing 11, it stands up in high re- lief from the surrounding clay, and contains no valleys or other signs of erosion. 1t does, however, contain a number of sinkholes, as in a limestone country. When the brief torrential rains of winter ,occur the water sinks almost at once into these cavities and soaks through the permeable salt, emerging at the margin of the hill in salt springs. The same showers falling on impermeable clays and marls produce a maximum of meohanlcal erosion, so th.at these substances are worn away, leaving the salt in high relief.

For greater conven- ience, however, they are mounted on hand trucks. It has been founts that best:dee do- ing the workin a much more thorough and sanitary manner than is possible with the ordinary curry comb, the cleaners are far more rapid. The hien, using the vounonm Meitner, can care for several times the number of horses they formerly could curry in Ute old way.
