But nian's memory is shor and for that reason it is very im portant that your fault have .a suit ruble name. S'ozixetimes very original combing tions of the owner's name are used for example, the farm of Dean L. H Bailey of Cornell, which he callea. Bailiwick. One man was so overjoy- ed at the prospect of farming his ow land that he called his place Ion: Farm: Names such as Barren Ru. should be avoided, as they may giv the stranger an unfavorable -impres Mion. It is also well to avoid name. like Woo•dlawn . and Shady Grove which are already in common `use in many parts of the country. Facetious names such as Dew Drop Inn do very well for summer imugalows, but do not possess the dignity which your fF name should carry. 'Supposing you area breeder of a famous strain of cattle: Your own re- nown and peraonality may be suffi- cient to bring buyers from all parts of the world. More often, however, the successful breeder has a distinc- tive title for his farm which he in- variably links up with his farm paper and catalogue advertising. When you sell out, your farm nanie may be worth a, great deal. In business it is, called good -will. The president of the worlds largest mail-order house de- clared that his firm's good -will was worth more than - all the other assets of the hundred -million -dollar. business. But just as important is the satis- faction which yon and your fancily will get out of an appropriate nanie for your farm. Morale is a favorite word in military circles, An army with morale is usually a victorious army. 'Having a farm name to work for, and to live up to, will give you morale to win your farm battles. It gives a certain distinctive tone to a place that otherwise is "just a farm." It implies a home, efficient production, better livestock, permanency, prosper- ity, success, and contentment. Look around your community at the farms that have names and see if this is not true. I think you will find most of the farmers who are achieving the minstrel are justly proud of their farms. They show that pride by nam- ing them appropriately. It is- very important that the farm name be distinctive, and that it fit the farm. There are many =ways ,of . ., christening a farmerliaps rile inost common is to select •some outstanding feature as. "Hillcrest," "Valley View," )Meadow Brook," etc. 'Others are named for the kind of trees whioh sur- round the farmstead, such as "Oak Grove," "Maple Dell," "Pine Ridge," `and so on. Another favorite form of name is derived from a combination of the old English words "horst" and "emit," which mean homestead. This is the way such names as Applecroft and Ellenhurst are formed. If you and your family can't decide on a name, ask your neighbors or your county representative to help. A successful apple grower held a contest and paid a goodly sum for the best. name submitted, which he has since • made widely known through his apple advertising. You owe it to yourself, your family, and the pian who buys your place to give your farm a suit- able name.. t ll Iona n e s , after any small effort. The apparent stomach and heart troubles are generally nothing more than the result of an insufficient sup- ply of pure blood. This anaemic state may have followed some previous ill- ness, or an attack of influenza; or it may have arisen from overwork, wor- ry or too little fresh air. To obtain good health the simple and proper course is to build up the blood, but to do this you. must select a reliable remedy with a reputation such as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. These pills en- rich the blood which carries nourish- ment to all the organs of the body and enables thein to do the work•na- ture expects of them. Thousands of men and women have proved this for themselves. One of these is Mrs. T. Flynn, R.R. No. 1, Erineville, Ont., who says: "Last spring I got into a badly ran down condition. I had no energy; work left me exhausted, and the least exertion would make my heart palpitate violently. I had often read of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and decided to give them a trial and got a half dozen boxes. I bad not been tak- ing the pills long when I felt a decided improvement 'in my condition and by the time I had used the six boxes I could do my housework with eace. I can strongly recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to all weak people." You can get these pills through any dealer in inedicine, or by mail post- paid at 50 -cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. CAN BE YOURS if Your Blood Supply is Kept Rich and Red. It is a waste of time and money to fight merely the signs of disease; in the long run you are probably worse off than when you started. What is far more important is that you should intelligently examine the various symptoms and trace the cause, When you remove the cause, health will be yours. Por 'example, anaemic people often endure months of suffering while treating its symptoms, such es indigestion, shortness of breath, pal- pitation alpitation of the heart and exhaustion Success Nuggets. Opportunity brings out the great man, but he alone is great who is ready to embrace it. w M * * if the first rule is to obey your na- tive bias, to accept the work for which you were inwardly formed—the second rule is concentration, which doubles its force.—Emerson. * * ,a Smiles attract dollars, as they at- traet everything that is good and wholesome.

Fighting the Cactus. The kind of cactus often called the "prickly pear" has become a first- class nuisance in Australia. It grows ff very fast, spreads with great rapidity land forms mases o. vegetation. so dense that the Tearing of ground once occupied by the plant is accomplish- r ed with utmost difficulty. Incidental- ly, it renders the Iand unavailable for agricultural purposes. In response to urgent request, the United States government is sending to Austraida'certain insects that prey upon the prickly pear, Hope is enter- tained that, they may do enough dam- age to discourage the spread of the :cactus plague in that part of the world. Many species of insects, in the Southwestern States, feed upon the prickly pear, one of them being the tiny cochineal -bug, which in former days was so highly valued for the dye it furnished. It would not be useful for the purpose here in question; but there is a large green caterpillar, near- ly two inches long, which ought to prove exceedingly efficient as a cac- tus destroyer. It is the offspring of a moth and one of the most important enemies of the plant known in this t country, its method of attack being to 1 bore into the fleshy leaves of the prickly pear and eat out the insides. 0 This caterpillar Is to be sent to Aus- t tralia, its transportation being easily n accomplished by forwarding a quanti ty of infested leaves of the cactus. t Another insect that is to go is a beetle of about the size of a cricket, which is 0 a great destroyer of the prickly pear, t The adult feeds on the outer parts of b the joints, while the young grub pene- *� ti e When the Bishop Caller!, While Mr, Herbert Hoover was iiv ing in China a visiting bishop of the English Church came to call ,upou its., XXooyer.

Ile, too, was a bishop, .and the admirable Mary Ann, though some• what deaf, had elicited the fact by questioning the impatient man while he stood dripping on the doorstep, for it was raining hard. But to Bary Ann "bishop"—she caught the word o v— had anything but a churchly 'eonnoa- tion; and she hastened. to her`mi t'tr•eas without so. much asdnviting•him oen. ter.

"There may, •be other Bishops in the world, for all I know; but all the Bishops in this part of the country are Bishops from Dsg- town, and they're no sort. of folks for decent people to have dealing with.

To her all Bishops looked alike, and none were to be trusted. Famous Chapel Under Repair.

Happily -for our convenience, the process is extremely slow, but all the same the fact is that the days are getting longer. This does, not refer to hours of day- light increasing with the advancing year, but to days as timed by the re- volution of the earth on its axis. The earth's power of rotation is growing weaker, and as a result its revolution on its axis is "slowing •up. Which means, -of course, that the day is lengthening.
