THE CRY OF THE TWO-THIRDS
He was a fragile looking child,
almost dwarf in stature. Ben's
only sister was born fifteen months
after Jamie—sweet, wee Meg, a
tender blossom, she was born crip-
pled, would be a continual sufferer,
there was a cruel hump on the,
little back. Sometimes Ben would
rise from his bed and insist' in tak-
ing his share of the baby then his
mother would sink back on the old
settee and watch him out of proud
eyes as he walked with and sang
to the little one, .wondering if any
mother in all the world had ever
had such a' son, he was very small
when he first aspired to save his
mother from her life of drudgery."
When I am a man, was often on
his lips, and he was ever ready
with some present scheme where-
by he could obtain money. But
Bessie ever put him off, she had
determined he should have a good
education if she could secure it
Every clay they grew poorer, her
husband bad fallen very low, he
would pick up a few shillings oc-
cassionelly by copying but it did
not benefit his family when he did
At one time ho became bartender
for a saloon he patronized, but
even this job he soon lost, as his
thirst got the better of his honesty
and be drank more than he earned.
Instead of a help he was another
drain on the slender resources of
his wife, he generally ate at house
but never purchased anything he
ate, and he had no compunction
about stealing the last penny from
Bessie's pocket, sometimes forcing
her to yield her little all to his
violence. Ah, those were sad days,
a little indian meal, mush for
breakfast, a few potatoes for din
ner, poor materials for growing
youth with its ravenous appetite,
but with enough of this Ben might
have thriven, eo rich was his life
in its resources that it could flour-
ish, where his delicate mother
could barely subsist. But when he
knew his plate held the most of
what was provided and if insuffic-
ient, when he saw that she scarcely
tasted a morsel lest he might not
have enough, he turned away
troubled. More and more his
heart rebelled against his enforced
laziness and his mother's increasing
and unceasing care. To be sure,
he helped her about the housework
was nearly as well able to do the
homely tasks as herself, sometimes
she allowed him to carry her work
to the shop and bring back
more. but it was reluctantly. Oc-
casionally he earned a few pennies
by holding a horse or running on
some errand ; but whatever he did,
wherever he went the inward
chafing against his environment
continued. A perpetual"why" was
in -'his heart, why had he such a
father? why must his mother labor
as she aid? why could some revel
in luxuries while others, like him-
self and his, lacked the necessities
of life? Why? Why? At fifteen
Ben entered the high-school, and
now more than ever Mrs. Blitz's
resources were taxed to keep hint
as well dressed as his mates, he
knew, though his mother had tried
to bide it from him, that her hist
treasure had been sacrificed to buy
hi.s present suit of fall clothes and
overcoat, it was her watch, the
gift of her dead father, cherished
through. all these years of poverty
Passionately fond of study, proud
and ambitious, Ben seemed to him-
self to live two lives. One—the
better one began each day as soon
as he was beyond the locality of
his home, as he neared the cleaner
streets he left himselt breathing
more freely, by the time his feet
touched the borders of the park he
was another lad, ease, companion-
ship, privilege, marked this better
life, At school be was the peer of
the best,; as well dressed, gifted,
cultured, in, speech and manners
as' .any of tbeni..He picked his
friends, with little fear that any
would discover either his poverty
or shame, for the boys 'who were
acquainted with his secret
were of the class who- rarely
enter the grimmer school and
never 'go beyond it Could his
mother have seen him there, lead-
ing_ bis class, a favorite alike
teachers and scholars, his link-
ing arms at recess with the heir of
the city's proudest family, his
glowing face, his sparkling eye,
ringing laugh distinguishing him
as leader of them all, her heart
might have swelled with pride.
Sometimes, at night, as she sewed
and he studied, he would break out
suddenly, lifting his sunny face
from the book with some choice
bit from the clays adventures or
delights and she caught glimpes
of his school life and felt repaid
for all • her sacrifices. Many a
night, tossing on his hard bed,
Ben decided that he must give up
school, must find some work, but
each returning morning that
better life had power to sway his
heart again, and added to his
mother's earnest, "you can help
me most by keeping on with your
studies, Ben," won another vict-
ory. Among the inhabitants of the
tenement block where they lived
was a young Irishwoman, Hennesy
by name, a kindly soul with two
children and brighter ,prospects
than many of her neighbors ; "Not
that I had to work," she explain-
ed.;
xplain-
ed; Abut wan might as well lay
abit fur a rainy day whin they
kin. "I can t love thim widout ye
consent an' they'll nada little care.
I'll lave bread and butter spread
fur thim an' your own too." After
that, three or four mornings a
week, Mrs. Hiltz had a group of
little ones about her as she sewed
and Meg had play mates, "It was
not often Ben took time for re-
creation. His mother worried when
anything detained hirn and sho
generally considered him. But
Weswick had been so confidential
to -day that Ben could not resist
his coaxing. "Oh, come along a
little way with us ; we fellows aro
planning some sport, I'll tell
you."

EFFECT OF ALFALFA ON LAND.
A notion has become too pre-
valent that a rotation scheme is
impracticable with alfalfa, when
as a matter of fact, it is one of the
very best crops to •place in such a
scheme. It has a mucic better
mechanical effect upon soil than
tl:e clovers, it makes the land more
friable earlier than clover ; the
'roots are capable of going to great
depths, thus heightening the aera-
tive quality of the soil. Altogether,
alfalfa, when used in a scheme of
crop rotation will add much to the
money value of the land and
certainly to the productive quality
of it.

ATTRACTIVE BUTTER.
Now that cooler weather is.
approaching it would be well to
say a few words regarding butter
and how the merchants would like
to have it brought in. Put it up
in nice sized, attractive rolls of 3
to 5 pounds, and see that it is
properly worked and salted. Dairy
butter has been a good price this
season and if every farmers' wife
and daughter, would take pains in
making the very best article, and
put it up as above suggested, I
believe that the increased value
would more than pay for the extra
trouble. This section has the name
of having the best butter makers
in the County, but improvements
here and there can still be made.
It is possibly not generally known
that merchants often sustain quite
a loss on butter carelessly made,
and poorly put up for handling,
and in this day of separators and
other handy devices there is hardly
any excuse to offer for poor butter,
except negligence in some one of
the details of Manufacture. Don't
be like the woman that sold her
butter (or axle grease) in one store
and then went to another and
bought the same article and insist-
ed on sampling it to make sure it
was the real thing. The writer of
this remembers one such case,
which occurred some years ago,
right in this town.—Farmers

Tab FARMERS' OPPORTUNI.CY.
A splendid opportunity to sup-
plement the regular revenue of the
farm is offered to those who can
compete for the large cash prizes
which will be given at the Oatario
Provincial Winter Fair to be held
in Guelph on December 6th to 10th,
1909. About $14,000,00 will be offer-
ed as prize money in the different
departments which include the
principal breeds of Horses, Dairy'
flattle, Beef Cattle, Sheep, Swine
and poultry. and also seeds. The
Fair comes at a convenient season
when the fitting can be done clneing
the slack time of fall and leirkly
winter while the few days spent in
Guelph with the exhibits is a
pleasant and profitadle outing.
During the past summer about
$50,000,00 was spent on an addition
to the Fair Bnilcling. Besides
providing increased and improved
accommodation for the former
departments of the Fair, a large
judging arena and about one hun-
dred and fifty horse stalls have
been placed in the new part which
give splendid facilities for a magni-
ficent horse show. Special attention
has been given to providing
accommodation for the judging of
the different classes of stock and
besides the ring for swine and
sheep each with adequate seating.
The following is a brief summary
of the prize list. Our readers who
are interested should apply to the
Secretary of the Pair, A. P.
Westervelt, Toronto, for a com-
plete list :—In the horse depart-
ment there are classes for Clydes-
dales, Shires, Hackneys, Standard
breds, Thoroughbreds Ponies and
Heavy Draught Horses for which
there is offered $3,300.00 in prizes.
The $2,000.00 offered for beef cattle
goes to Shorthorns, Herefords,'
Aberdeen Angus, Gailoways, De-
vons and Grades or Crosses. The
Dairy Shorthorns, Ayrshires, Hol
steins, Jerseys, Guernseys and
Grades compete for $1,200.00.
Exhibititors of sheep can show
Cotswolds, Lincolns, Leicesters,
Oxfords, Shropshires, Southdowns,
Dorsets, Hampshires, Suffolks, and
Grades or Crosses and win $2,000.00
in prizes. The swine exhibitors
get $1,400.00 for their exhibits of
Yorkshires. Berkshires, Tam -
worths, Grades or Crosses and
Bacon Hogs. As pure seed is now
recognized as necessary to suc-
cessful farming, growers of these
are offered $900.00 as an induce-
ment for them to make a good
display. The poultry department
has grown to be the biggest poultry
show in Canada and breeders show
great enthusiasm in competing for
the $3,000.00 prize money,
We look to the farmers o f this
County to uphold. "their reputation
as successful breeders and feeders
of food live stock, The financial
inducements offered are certainly
worthy of their best efforts.
Hoarseness in a child subject to
croup is a sure indication of the

Stomach troubles would more
quickly disappear if the idea of
treating the cause, rather than the
effect, would come into pratice. A
tiny, inside, hidden nerve, says Dr.
Shoop, governs and gives strength
to the stomaeh. A branch also goes
to the heart, and one to the kid-
neys When these "inside nerves"
fail, then the organs must falter.
