A very pleasing feature of the rural cemetery is the decided improvement in so many of them. This is in part due to the action of the Provincial Government in making it imperative that such cemeteries as are not reas- ansbiy .end condition must be put in reasonably good condition, or suffer penalties which are drastic, severe and continuous. until the undesirable condition is remedied. This of course has put action into many who have charge of cemeteries and has -lone much in respect to the improve- ment of the various cemeteries throughout the province. However there has been voluntary action an :he part of the majority of cemetery companies which has worked almost miracles in the matter of improve- ment, and this has been a pleasing :eature of the situation. Generally speaking there has been little if any difficulty in the matter of raising funds far such a purpose, but in many cases the work has been held up ow- ing to refusal of lot owners to pay annual or perpetual upkeep. To pro- vide a remedy and make possible the improvement demanded by the law, the Provincial Government has made any back upkeep a legal debt against the owner of such lot and has provid- ed legal measures for the collection o f such upkeep charges. This is but reasonable for where improvement is forced provision for such improve- ment must also be made. So the pre- sent prospect of the rural cemeteries. and their good appearance and im- proved condition is very bright, cer- tainly much more so than in tate past. Miter's Worm Powders act mildly and without injury to the child, and there can be no doubt of their deadly effect upon worms, They have been an successful use for a long time and are recognized as a leading prepara- tion for the purpose. They have prov- ed their power in numberless cases and have given relief to thousands of children, who. but for the good of- fices of this superior compound, would have continued weak and en- feebled. * * * * * 5' * * * * * NEWS AND INFORMATION * * FOR THE BUSY FARMER * * (Furnished by Ontario Depart- • ment of Agriculture.) * :y '5' * * :I. *. * * . :k * 9: Beautifying the Farm Home Every unimproved er unenabeliish eel home in Canada can be made more attractive and more valuable by the planting of trees, shrubs, vines and flowers and a well -kept lascit The cost of the nursery stock is one of the most profitable investments a farmer can possibly make, because such im- provements will actually i p u Yncreaa the s money value of the place many times the amount spent in a simple plan of home planting: Good Hoppers Needed t' The annual waste of mash through the use ofor hoppers 0 o s is enormous.

As a 4 year old he was Grand Champion at several of the largest State and Inter State fairs. Besides being a great show horse, Dr. K. althou>h only in his prime, has already prow.d himself ati outstand- ing sire of real merit. His colts have won the 'get of sire' class for the last two years et Central Canada Exhib- ition, Ottawa, and give promise of de- veloping into big drafty, harness), kind that will be market toppers. At Arnoldwold. Farms, where Dr. K. was used for three years, he has sired several pure bred colts that have sold all 'the way from $300.00' for suckers up to $1,500,00 for rising 3 year olds, a black rising 3 -year-old stallion be- ing sold for this figure in March, 1'930. In regard to the breeding of DR.K„ may say that he is a worthy son of worthy parents. Both his sire Gren- at 2•nd and his grandsire Grenat, were outstanding show and breeding horses. .Grenat was a let prize win- ner and Champion at Paris before coming to America, where he had a sensational show -ring record at all the leading American Exhibitions. Probably his greatest shote and breeding son was Gretna: 2nd, the sire of DR.K. DR.K.'s dam Jessetta 2nd -was a big drafty grey- mare of show -ring calibre and a wonderful, regular breeder, Her sire, Indigent, was a Paris winner before importation to America and was also a phenomenal show horse. DR.tC.'s ancestry re- presents animals of outstanding soundness and quality and show -ring calibre. Is it arty wonder that DR.K. is himself a remarkable show horse and outstanding sire ?, Form I.

Many 'a dairy farmer is not making as notch stoney yearly as lie thinks he is because of the depreci- ation in the value of his herd. The useful life of a cow is notvery long, The troubles which occur in every herd, such as abortion, non-breedisg, udder troubles, take a larger toll than is thought possible without• records For guidatece. A study of the situ- ation shows that the average cow re- mains in production for about five years: 'Allowing ten months milking per year, this limits the average use- ful life ol.e cow to 50 months, Dur-. ing this period the cow has to pay a•' l costs of feed, labor, housing, etc. be- sides, a profit to the owner. ; Only good coWs can d this, b t S.

A colony may reach a feeling of strength before the main flow commences and decide upog swarming during the dandelion and fruit bloom flow. This is easily con- trolled by giving the queen sufficient room for egg -laying by enlarging the brood chamber and by giving enough super room so that surplus nectar may be stored in supers instead of the brood chamber. n Balt t is Persi Persian a true elixir of ' youth, Refreshes and rejuvenates.
