MIRACULOUS
CURE OF ASTHMA
Suffered Terribly for 15 Years Until He
Tried "Frult-a-tives"
D. A. WHITE, Esa.
21 WALLACE AVi;., TORONTO,
Dec. 22nd. r913:
"Having been a great sufferer from
Asthma for a period of fifteen years
(sometimes having to sit up at night
for weeks at a time) I began the use
of "Fruit-a-tives", These wonderful
tablets relieved me of Indigestion, and
through the continued use of same, I
am no longer distressed with that
terrible disease, Asthma, thanks . to
"Fruit-a-tives" which are worth their
weight in gold to anyone suffering as
I did. I would heartily recommend
them to all sufferers from Asthma,
which I believe is caused or aggravated
by Indigestion". D. A. WHITN

How is this yield to be obtained,
and what bearing does it have on the
$200 wage? -It has been proved by the
lowa experiment station and others
that the yield of corn varies directly
as the stand, and the stand, needless to
say, cannot be better than the seed
corn planted. If seed corn therefore
can be secured which is so much better
than ordinary seed as to 'produce a
forty bushel crop where thirty bushels
were secured before this means an ad-
ditional profit amounting to the market
price of the increased yield. One per-
son can easily pick eight bushels of
pseed fiftyacresnd . The

. approximately
increase in yield of the seed produced
forty bushels an acre -and there is no
reason why forty bushels could not be
produced -would mean an increase of
500 bushels, worth. at least $200. This
.is a very good day's salary. It certain-
ly would pay the average farmer to put
himself in the millionaire class one
clay this fall.
THERE'S MONEY IN CORN.
Minnesota College Expert Says Seed
I Should Be Selected In the Fall.
There are few persons in the Unit-
ed States, or anywhere for that matter,
who are drawing $200 a day in wages,
so few that it would not take long to
mention them. As a result a corn
grower would be decidedly surprised if
he were to be told that he could make
as muck, at least during one day in the
year, as the very rich.
To put himself in themillionaire
class one day in the year all that it is
necessary for this corn grower to do,
says Ray P. Speer, Minnesota College
of Agriculture, is to select his seed
corn in the fall This is not a mere
surmise, for statistics gathered by re-
liable -corn experts prove the point be-
yond dispute, The story is not long
and is simple enough for any one to
understand.
The average yield of corn in Minne-
sota during 1900 and 1910 was 27.4
bushels of corn per acre. Based on a
cost of production per acre of $13.75,
according to the figures taken from a
series of farms in southeastern Minne-
sota for five years, this average yield
barely exceeds the cost of producing
it. A higher yield of corn must be se-
pared if a profit is to be obtained.

SHEEP ON THE RANGE.
Bedding Out System More Profitable
Than Close Herding.
As a result of experiments during
the past few years the department of
agriculture is now advocating the use
of the bedding out system of herding
sheep on open ranges instead of the
old close herding system which bas
heretofore been in use.
This system gets its name from the
fact that the herder who attends the
band camps and beds his flocks wher-
ever
henever the sheep find themselves at
nightfall. Under the old plan he estab-
lished a fixed camp and bed ground
and drove the sheep back to the same
place each night,
From experience on the national for-
est ranges last year the department
states that jambs from bedded out
bands were five pounds heavier on an
average at the end of the season than
those which were trailed to and from
established bed grounds and that the
range can carry from 10 to 25 per cent
more sheep than when :so much is
trampled out in traveling back and
forth. Tbe disadvantages of the old sys-
tem, according to the department were
twofold, those to the forage and those
to the sheep. The forage suffered by
being trampled badly and being actual-
ly destroyed at an4 near the bed
grounds; the sheep lost weight 1n going
to and from the camps, and in dry
weather suffered not a little from dust
and from crowding.

The various dairy cattle associa-
tions are paying more attention to
record work. The latest and one of
the greatest strides that has been
made In progress of this kind has
been made by the Brown. Swiss
breed. People have not paid much
attention to these cattle from the
dairy standpoint, but the mea who
have been breeding them have been
striving to do the best that they
could In their own herds. The
yearly records which these cows
have made are really creditable.

CAN FLY WITHOUT BRAINS
Birds', . Balance Purely Mechanical,
Scientist Demonstrates
One of the most striking features
of the meeting atDresden'of the Ger.
man Scientific Society for Aeronautics
and ,Aviation was a lecture by Prof.
Content on balance' in the air.
Prof, Conheim drew a bold parallel
between birds and aeroplanes, 'rile
gave a demonstration with living
doves and seagulls from which the
cerebrrtn magnum. had been extracted,
and showed that balance with these
birds vas purely mechanical. Hav-
ing been deprived of their brain, the
birds could exert no will power and
maintained their balance simply by
reflex movements of the head, tail
and wings. Prof. Conheim argued
from this analogy that it might be
possible in time to invent automatic
machinery which would keep an aero-
plane steb:e without requiring any at-
tention from ,the airman.
acquainted with this man, that be was
one of the poorest feeders and care
takers of stock in his community.
At the time we felt that the pur-
chase of these cows would prove to
him unsatisfactory unless he had seen
a new light in the matter of caring fol
and feeding stock. We are inclined to
the belief that common cows have a
natural capacity to make the best of
their surroundings and feed supply.
Such were the cows formerly kept by
this man.
When his pure bred cows were plan.
ed on the same basis as were his com-
mon cows they failed to respond to
the anticipated extent and proved, ac-
cording to his statement, not mucb
better producers than his common
cows. He failed to realize that the
cows he bought had for centuries been
developed under a condition which pro-
vided not only good care, but also an
ample supply of good milk making
feed. He failed to understand that
the cows he bought were highly devel-
oped animals capable of using large
quantities of feed and converting that
feed into milk and because they could
not convert such feed as they were able
to get at his hands into a liberal milk
flow he was naturally disappointed.
The pure bred cow, the cow which is
likely to yield the most profit from the
feed consumed, ., eds a feeder and a
caretaker who also has had some ex-
perience along dairy lines.

NURSING THE CALF.
Poor Practice to, Let Youngsters Suck
Dairy Cows.
As a rule, It is not a good practice
to permit calves to nurse. It is quite
common to let calves nurse two or
three times and then separate them
from their mothers and feed whole
milk throe to four weeks' and then
gradually change to eklmmilk, says
Hoard's Dairyman. It is too expen-
sive to feed calves on wbole milk, and,
further, ekimmill: will develop a calf
so that . at the end of a year it will
look and bet+fully as good as an animal
raleed on whole milk.
The plain objection to calves sucking
dairy : cows is that they do not take
all of themilk, therefore have a tend-
ency to dry np:,the, cow. If a su111-
dent numberof calveswere put upon
a cow to take all of the milk that she
produces and at stated intervals, the
same as milking is done. the cow
would not be injured by the nursing.
Choosing the Dairy Sire.
The selection of the herd bull is of
,the greatest importance because be is

ing standpoint. His _influence on the

Leaders in Scientific Theory
According to a writer in Engineer-
ing Magazine mention can be made
of but a few names among the many
.which. -hold an honorable place in, the
history of sctentific system -reeking.
A man of the very highest genius
was Laplace, who enunciated the nebu-
lar hypothesis. In geology, Hutton
first arranged scattered facts into 'a
coherent amount of tbs''geological
process by which rocks are worn down
and` built up. Turning to the biological
sciences, we find fine systematizers
whose work is closely, linked together,
The first of these -was Linnaeus, who
classified. living forms on the basis of
the oonception of a, simple 'shale of
of ascending complexity. Lamark re-
arranged the , classifleatlon by giving
chief weight to differences of organic
structure. Cuvier showed that organ-
isms must be conceived as diverging
from certain primitive types, as the
branches of a tree spread out from
the, trunk. Darwin overthrew an
hypothesis of Lamark that acquired
characteristics are inherited, and
showed that evolution proceeds by
means of spontaneous variation, and
a life struggle in which the unfit are
eliminated. And, finally, Herbert
Spencer applied 'the theory of 'evolu-
tion to lite institutions of society.

Nearly all civilized countries are pre-
paring expeditions for the study of this
eclipse, and a number of private ex-
peditions are also being fitted out. In
view of the climatic conditions Pre-;
veiling, most of them have chosen
south Russia for their goal. In Rus-
sia extensive scientific' preparations
have been made for the study of thid,
phenomenon.
For example, all the times, angles of,
position, etc., for all the Russian towns
affected by the eclipse have already
been calculated, and all these data, will'

ferent, scientific expeditions going to

OIL UPON THE WATERS.
It May Be the Means of Preventing
Dangerous Fogs at Sea.
For the year ending June 30, 1013,
the United States life saving service
reported 552 disasters at sea and 66
vessels totally lost on United States
coasts. In addition there were 1,191
casualties to small craft. Probably the
greatest peril at sea arises from the
fogs that prevail in certain waters.
Heretofore the chief reliance of the
navigator' under fog conditions has
been on the whistle, the horn, the bell
and other appliances to carry warning
signals by sound.
Tbe startling statement is now made
that by the use of oil the danger from
fogs may be minimized and even avert-
ed and that such shocking disasters as
the recent disaster to the old Domin-
ion liner Monroe in a fog orf the coast
of Virginia, with the resultant loss of
forty-one lives, may be avoided.
The suggestion that oil can be used
to prevent fogs comes from Director
Onefris'"of the Fourviere observatory
at Lyons, Mass. 'During a study, of
the dense fogs which for two months
each year cover almost the entire is-
land formed by the junction of the
Saone and the Rhone rivers at Lyons
he observed that the fogs followed the
lines of water beneath the fog banks
and conceived the idea of spreading oil
to prevent evaporation of the water
and the consequent formation of the
mists.
One might' think this an expensive
method, but Director Onefris:maintains
that the cost of sufficient ollto protect
the entire city of Lyons from the vis-
itations of dense fogs would be only
$8 a day. -Harold Waters in Leslie's.
TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE SUN.
Scientists Will Flock to Russia to Study
the Phenomenon.
The total eclipse of the sun which
is to take place on the 2lst clay of Au-
gust of this year promises to be of
special importance for 'science and
mainly for the reason that the zone (af-
fected by this phenomenon will spread
