waters of
the reviving spring. I knew then
that the love of pure water was older
than Egypt—older than anything on
which we build' our lives of civiliza-
tion. Men and water must have
something, in them that is synchron--
ous. ;The water -bearer of the old
Zodiac' must have been truly ensym
boled.
I wanted water, cold water, and l
was told that 1 must wait at least
twenty-four hours. I' could put in
the spare time thinking out just what
I would like in the way of water. ' I
will not arouse jealousy among the
purveyors of table waters by mention-
ing those that I thought of first, but
I -will mention something that is very
important—a matter about which I
hope to make a campaign later on.
It is a most regrettable fact that
most of the patrons of these table
waters want the charged varieties.
They donot know the sheer delight
of still waters. No grocery or hotel
will supply fine with any except the
aerated varieties, but I kept pestering
the doctors forsomething, especially
flue in the way of water, and they
promised unhesitatingly .to stir heae
von and earth—and Toronto—to get
the purest table water for me that
could be secured. And sometime a-;
long in the dreary night one of the
tubes in my throat began to carry. a
water of the most marvellous cheer
and sweetness, ; It was not flavored.
It was purely a natural water, and it
was chilled to an exactness not to be
club.

As I felt my system slowly becoming
saturated with this wonder water I
found courage to ask them: "I hope
it will not be too expensive to buy, be-
cause I feel in the future years I can-
not live without it."
It with Loudon City water! • It was
chilled to a nicety, and my whole be-
ing rose to it.
As I eememiber things mostly in
pictures, it was not long until I. found
the picture of myself taking the fin-
est drink of water I had ever enjoyed.
The picture was easy to recognize.
It could' not compare with the great
fountains pictured by great artists.
It was very homelike. It was Located

The following . article, from: the
Globe, was written by - the late
Peter McArthur, just' a couple
of days before his death. The
subject is "Water"' and he tries ttx'
impress upon his readers the value,
the great boon of water, a realization
of which had come to him as he lay
in a hospital after an operation and
could not even have a drink of wa-
ter. We have never been in this
situation but a lady who has, assures
us that the picture he draws is a
true one.
We have often wondered, however,
why so many people seem averse to
drinking water. There is nothing
like it to quench a healthy, natural
thirst, but the way some people talk
onewould imagine that water was
only useful for cleansing purposes.
Perhaps that is true, but some of the
people who turn in disgust from'' the
"unwashed mob," .wlio fail to' use
enough water for outside cleansing,.
,are the very ones who themselves fail
to use enough of it, nature's clean-
ser, internally.. Let the message of
the kindly "Sage of Eldrid" be heard,
even from the grave and let the child-
ren be taught, and let us teach our-
selves to drink more water.

It took this journey into the Val-
ley of the Shadow to make me dis-
cover the finest idea,that has ever
come my' way as a journalist. Per..
haps it was because I was having my
struggle at the same time :that the
O.T.A.'s and, the Moderationists
were having theirs—anyway, I saw
the mistake that the Prohibitionists
have made all the way down the ages,
'and help; is going to offered' to them
from an unexpected and still impeni-
tent quarter.
Many years ago The:NewtYork
Sun remarked that the great weak-
ness of the .prohibition movement is
that it offers no attraetive substitute
for what it takes away. The mis-
take of The Sun was just as foolish
as the mistake of the Prohibitionists.:
When you have been racked by pain
,you realize that the best beverage on
earth is' Water.
After any imagination had been
weaving "arabesques of pain" for
hours, some one asked me what I
would like to drink. A foolish spirit-
made inn ahswer, "A John Collins:"
And I wanted them to bring me ono
that was, made in a tub,and one that,
I could stick my head right in when
S
wanted a drink, They brought me
such a' Collins as you would expect
to get in a hospital—and it came back
as fast; as it went down.
It was then that it dawned on me
that what I wanted was Water—Wa-
ter. I began making enquiries about
home 'farm, I saw another wonder-
ful thing. For a couple of months
each' spring we had ruining t o waste
at the rate of a gallon a second the
finest water I -have ever known—a',
least, the one that makes the most
appeal to niy palate. '. If I get off
this bed of stupor I hope to buy a
little bottling machine, and every
spring we, shall lbottle enough' of
that Water to carryus throughthe
summer for table use: We could
easily have an ice plant, and ice this
water to the right temperature and
offer it to friends and visitors.
And that raises another .point.
How few people know how to serve
water ! My Prohibitionist friends
tell me they have good water, and let
me drink it from a tin cup kept hang-
ing to a mossy pump. If they were
going to offer me a sweet stale.gin-
ger ale of soft drink they would prob-
ably offer it in cut -glass, or at least
in a pleasant pitcher. Only crystal
pure water should be served in crystal,
and the epicure who could gather wa-
ter worthy to, be served in crystal
woulu well deserve to be made humor-
tal in song. If our friends the Pro-
hibitionists 1;011 teach the ehildree
—and will learn themselves how de-
licious pure water is, and to avoid
messy subsitutee, they will not only
help to bring, about a water drink-
ing world, but they will spread health
and open the doors to better hving,—.

The Selection of a Brood Sow.
The importance of the carefnt
selection of a`•brood sow cannot be.
over -emphasized. So. says Professor'
Wade Toole of the 0. A. Cu. It is true
that the Row's influence is reflected
on her own litters only, whereas
that of the boar is reflected ow
all litters which he sires, and'
while many characteristics are come,

there are others which are very essen-
tial' to the respective sexes and
•opposite in nature.
Information as to the history of
the ancestry of a young sow is of
considerable' value. Experience and'
olihervation go to prove that certain'
outstanding qualities are common to'
strainstraina or families of hogs of different,
breeds rather than simply breeds,

Age of Brood Sows.
Unusually a sow is most prolific

of age, and is probably at her beat;
'when about two and a half years.. •
Soon after she reaches maturity she.
Is at her prime. After the sow has;
reached four or five years her powers:
begin to wane, and it is not longi
after thet when she becomes unpry
Stable. Just how long to keep a sow'
will depend upon the individual. If{
properly handled two litters of pigs
a year can be secured from a .sow."
It is not beet to breed a gilt until,
she is eight to ten months old. Pige'
can be weaned at six weeks of age,
bue eight weeks Is probably .better.,
They should be eating long before'

secure all the nourishment they needs
from other sources than the sow's
milk, so they will not be checked 15
their growth-by,weaning. Many sows
will accept service within a few days
after farrowing, but it is not best to
-breed them until after the pigs are
weaned, or in eight or nine weeks.
The welfare of the sow and the next
litter of pigs should be kept in mind,
and the sow should have time to re
cuperate after raising a bunch of
lusty pigs before undertaking the $eb1
again. '
