It je useleee to ,look with: regret on :'the
ass
ping' -of the great cattle ranges of the
west. Under modern conditions they are
a mast wasteful way of utilizing laud.
What we have to do is to encourage the
small farmer' to devote more attention
to cattle raising. That he ran raise far
more cattle to the mere than the ranchers,
and with lees risk of loss through disease
and accident, is indisputable. This Pro-
blem is one of the most serious before both
Canada and the United States, and it is
to be hoped our Government will give it
the serious attention it deserves. There
is no need whatever for beef to become
prohibitive in price.

400 Different Kinds of "Wurst"
;Bade in Westphalia.
Westphalia, in Prussia, is the
home of the sausage. There, it is
aaid, a trader will name no fewer
than 400 different kinds of sausage.
A sausage exhibition was held re-
cently in Germany. at which a
thousand varieties of sausage were
shown.
In this connection a story is told
of a young Prussian, who, though
he had received an expensive train-
ing as a, chemist, shut himself up
in his laboratory, and instead of
devising a new dye, safety match,
• motor engine, explosive, aeroplane,
or photographic lens, took pork,
veal, olives, pepper, fennel, old
wine, cheese, apples, cinnamon and
herrings' roes, and from them evolv-
ed a wonderful and totally original
"wurst," the best of its kind. He
has amassed a considerable for-
tune from its sale.

Day after day it is the grim duty of the

Quartz Cold Mining.
Some extraordinary rich samples of gold
quarts have been taken into Vancouvet
recently from 'Pomade Island and are said
to have been taken from regular ledges
and not from mere pockets. Placer min-
ing has to a great extent overshadowed
any other form of gold mining in British
Columbia not only becausethe sands of
the rivers hare nearly always shown gold
but because the prospector can wander
freely over the country with hie pick and
pan, and if he makes a strike he eau work
his claim on the spot with very little ex.
tra in the wayof necessities. But quartz
mining is dfferent. Traneportation of
machinery, to deal with the •quartz has
been most laborious and expensive and
the results of transporting machinery in-
to a district only to find that the gold on
ours in pockets wouldi .cher disastrous.
On the other hand bearing quartz
ledges are apparently usually of far
greater value than placer Aelde..
The whole world bas been astonished at
the production of the Transvaal gold
mines, which are entirely quartz ledges
and go down to enormous depths. Rumors
have from time to time come through
from the Peace River district that there
is quartz formation bearing gold exactly
similar to the lie of the famous Johannes-
burg reefs. The mines in the Agin die-
trict too have for a long while shown some
remarkably rich gold quartz propositions.

ham in Nature. One day I ; was
catching small fish and acquatic in -
'Sects for an aquarium, 'Mid I was
using a small net in a shallow
stream. I happened to see on the
-
.edge of the water a fine spider,
which I captured.
On reaching home, I Placed my
specimen in a large aquarium,
where I had a number of small fish.
The spider measured about three
inches when its legs were extended;
the body is small, but the legs are
long. After hiding in the rockwork
of the aquarium for some time, it
took up a very interesting position.
It rested two legs on a stone, and
let the other six float en the 'water,
well spread out. The ends of the
six legs thus commanded a well de-
fined area of water.
I merely took notice of its atti-
tude, and left it to its own devices.
After a few minutes my servant
boy came into my study to say that
the spider was eating one of my pet
fish.- I at once want to see what
had happened. The spider was on
top of the rockwork, and it held in
its grip a. beautiful little fish, about
four times its own weight., I was
startled. How could this spider,
which has no power to swim, catch
a lively, quick -swimming fish? It
seethed to clutch the fish as acat
clutches a mouse. It soon began to
devour its catch, and before long
nothing was left of the fish but its
balk -bone.
I was now eager to find out. how
the spider caught the fish. That
night about eleven o'clock, I sat
down by the aquarium to watch the
spider. It had taken up its posi-
tion on a piece of stone, where the
water was not deep, and had thrown
out its_ long legs over the water.
Their extremities rested on the sur-
face, and made little depressions on
it, but did not break the "water.
skin." The tarsi of two posterior
legs firmly held to a piece of rock,
A Simple Remedy Discovered That
Cures Without Drugs.
The American people suffer more•.
from Catarrh that. from any other
disease. It undermines' more consti-
tutions and creates more sickness than
all other diseases combined. • It is,
therefore, very dangerous. •
'You can't successfully treat Catarrh
by internal dosing—you must in some
way send a purifying, healing agent
through the breathing organs, so that
the germs can be reached. This you
do every time you inhale Catarrho-
zone. It's rich essences and healing
balsams are breathed all through the
nose, throat and lungs, and effectively
destroy every trace o"_ Catarrh. This
is a proven fact.
I, endorse Catarrhozone because I
know of six bad cases of Catarrh,.in
eluding my own, that it h... cured. It
is a sensible remedy because it is ca-
pable of going where the disease is,, I
believe it cures quicker- than other:
remedies because it gets sooner to the
source of the disease than anything
else I know of. I had headaches, bad
breath, and much stomach trouble • as-
sociated with my Catarrh, but they
have disappeared since using Catarrh -
ozone, which keeps me free from
colds, headaches, catarrh and all win-
ter ills," OTTO E. KRAMER, Belle-
ville, Oat.
Catarrhozone is needed in every
home. Large size lasts 2 months,
price $1.00; small size, 50c; trial size,
25c. At all storekeepers and druggists
