THE LEEMING MILES 00., LTD, moversEAL Agents for Dr. Jules Beeps RELIEVES PAIN When Hens Strike. "What's the reason hens lay nearly every day ivhen eggs are thirty ,cents a dozen and refuse to do their duty when the price goes up to sixty cents'?"' I asked this question of a success- ful po'u1'tryenam • "Bec nese ..they go on strike," he answered, without emliling. "It's the truth," he continued, noting my look of incredulity. "They strike the same as we humane do, but not foe more wages, of course. They strike for bet- ter food. Hengs must have green food to make good layers. "When I first entered the poultry business I noticed this. same thing, and I often vvondered at it. After ex- perimenting a while.; I learned the cause. It was the lack of green food that kept them from baying well in winter, so' I have overcome this by having .green's always at hand for. Feeding. "Cabbage and beets are the best, but a variety is sometimes neces's'ary. I have also found green -cured alfalfa or clover hay to be excellent, after it has been boiled 'Sprouted oats make another good foodaa For the sake of variety, I often feed pumpkins to my hens. Theis makes them produce. Beets and cabbage must be picked before they become dry, and .stared in a geed cellar or buried in the ground. I have had no trouble in getting oats to -sprout, as I have a good warm cellar. I soak the oats over night in water, then I spread them on the floor of the cellar about an inch deep. They do not take 1:onig to sprout in this way, and in a s'ho'rt time I can begin 'feeding them. To get the 'best results with green cured alfalfa. or clover, I chop it up fine and boil it. Before feeding, I make sure that it is not moldy. Now is the time to arrange for a good supply of green food for roue hens next winter." Little Idle Ground There.

Plaice, which affords so important. a fishery in;tile North Sea, was re- markably. scares In thea years 1916, 1917 and 1918—s'o much ser, indeed, that the scarcity of the species was believed to be due to some cause des trimental to lisp' ]ie. It is suggested that the cause in question May have been oil from sunk- en ships, which; if preeent in con- siderable quantities, would be very destructive to young "fry" swimming in schools et the surface. Whatever play have been the fact in the case, it ie certain that oil only one ten -millionth of an inch thick will form a continuous film on the surface or water. Thus, as it is reckoned, all the oceans of the world might be covered with such a film by 500,000 tons of petroleum, which a fair-sized fleet of large ships could carry. BAB HEALTH H IN THE SPRING The Spring is a time of anxiety to mothers who have little ones in the home. Conditions make it necessary • to peep the baby indoors. • IIe is often confined to overheated, badly venti- lated rooms and catches colds which rack his whole systein. To guard against this a box of Baby's Own Tab - I lets should be kept in the house and an occasional dose given the baby to keep his stomach and bowels working regularly. This will prevent colds, constipation or colic and keep baby well. The Tablets are sold by medi- cine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' ,Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. :Protecting the Homestead From high Winds. In every locality there is generally some one direction, or perhaps two directions, from which the severest storms approach. It is on these sides of the buildings that the shelter -belts should be established first. On the prairies the most protection is -needed from the. north and west, as the pre vailing winds come chiefly from these directions. The principal belt, then, should be on these exposed sides, four or five rows on the east,.and south will be found quite sufficient. Many tree - planters in the West endeavor to plant their trees so that they will serve as a wind -break and at the same time pro- vide shade for the buildings. It should be remembered that the main object .of a wind:break is to afford shelter for the buildings and stock, and there- fore it should be established • on. the sides which are subjected to the pre- vailing winds. Later, a few standard trees, such as the ash, ebn, and maple,• may be. Planted individually near the buildings to provide shade.—Norman M. Ross, Dominion Forest Nursery Station, Indian. Head.

Source --A flower or color. The family name of Rose, simple es it seems, is one that is full of com- plexities. While there is one source tram which it appears reasonably cer- tain tbat a very large proporion of the families which bear it can trace it, there are many other possibilities pre- sented upon which little light can be thrown. In the case where the word is combined with another in the forma- tion of a family name the tracing of 'the source is simple, though the trail leads in an opposite direction ea of- ten as to make it doubtful how often the name of Rose itself is really re- iated to thee'e compounds. The one certain source of the name lies in the custom of tradesmen of the "'middle ages, erecting signs• in front of their places of business, bearing pictures rather than words, since the bulk of the population could not read. The rose was in quite common use for ;.his purpose,- and, in the natural course of events, such tradesmen as used it often. adopted Rose as a sur- name, or had it thrust upon them in the speech of their neighbors and cus- tumers. In some instances, no doubt (hut how often is a question for specula- tion) the name is a changed spelling of the old word for "red," which has given us such names as Russell, Rou- tell and Ross, and the word russet, or a change dspelling of the name Ross --which, in its turn, however, is not always certainly derived from this source. Rose is the name of an ancient but small clan in Scotland, yet the name does not appear to be of Gaelic origin. Indeed, authorities differ as to the or- igin of the clan itself, the ancient home of which was in Nairnshire, some accepts declaring that the name was originally "de Roos," and that the clan was.. of Norman-French origin. ' Others declare it to be of Norwegian origin, and claim that it first used the name of Geddes. The clan first appears in history the time of King Alexander III., the last Celtic monarch of Scotland, toward the close of the thirteenth century. .I:�,�s''r'�+ti':ri!'ti''��i�r':+.��s''�h`,y�Jh�'�:ift^seer,r+�iS.�fJ'nb�iA.��'✓:+r:`�,t'e',kyr:�:.��IfJ��'�t�t�J:-�f'Atiflfli PSTUMc:EREAL ISINFAV�with thousands.who can not drink,tea or coffee.

Misery day and night is the lot of hosts of men and women who are to- day the victims of weak nerves. Thin, pale, drawn faces and dejected atti- tude tell a sad tale, for nervous weak- ness means being tortured by morbid thoughts and unaccountable fits of de- pression. Those sufferers are .pain- fully sensitive and easily agitated by some chance remark. Sleeplessness robs them of energy and strength; their eyes are sunken and thein limbs tremble; appetite is poor and memory often fails. 'This nervous exhaustion is one of the most serious evils af- fecting men and women of to -day. The only way toa, bring back sound, vigorous health is to feed the starved nerves, which are clangoring for better blood. This nsww bleed.. can through the use of Dr. 'Williams' Pink Pills, which have a ,direct action on the blood, and through the blood en the nervous system. That a fair use of this medicine will bring satiefac- tory results is shown by the -experi- ence of Mrs. 11larsh, Bass River, N.S., who says: "Following a run down con- dition, I became practically a nervous wreck. The doctor who was called in said the trouble was inflammation of the nerves: It grew so bad that practically I had no control of my lower limbs, and had to go about with crutches. Quite aside from my suf- fering I had a small family and a baby in arms to care for and I became much discouraged, as I did not appear to be growing better. One evening my husband met an aged doctor on the street and told Bien of my condition. He asked my h,usband who was at- tending me, and when told said: "I don't want to interfere, but why not try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. My husband got use a supply of these pills and after taking a few boxes I NV .s able to go about with the use of one1 crutch. Continuing the use of the pills I was able to discard the other crutch as well, and was as active as ever I had been. There are many in this neighborhood who know what my con- dition was when I began the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and who know what this Medicine slid for me, and I hope my experience may Help seine other sufferer." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all dealers in medicine, or may be had by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

The bayonets still protrude through tihe sod under which the soldiers stand buried. That is the striking thing about perhaps the most remark- able memorial of the war -•-a trench 011 the French front between 'Thiaumont ! and Douaumont that was occupied by the third company of the 137th Regi- ment. According to one story, a shell exploded on the parapet and buried r the men alive as they stood. Accord- ing to another Story, the Germans tools the trench, crumbled and shat- tered by shell fire, after all its de- fenders were either wounded or killed, and then hurriedly filled it in, and to mark the spot left the guns of the dead soldiers upright beside them. Wh.iebever story is true, the bayonet trench dramatically shows how heroic was the defence of Verdun. An Aimee can, Mr. George F. Rand, was• so much moved at the sight that he built over the trench a itonutnsnt to perpetuate the memory of the brave poling buried below.

Nothing seems to come amiss, in the shape of employment, to our blinded men, says a London despatch. In poultry -farming, massage, embroidery,. mat and basket -malting, they have few rivals. Perhaps the biggest triumph of this kind had been made by an ex -Guards officer, who lost his sight during the war. He owns a thriving floral busi- nese in the West End, which he per son.ally superintends. A keen garden- er before the war, he knows almost every flower that blows, and weaves !

Sun spots are now thought to be a sign of the commencing debility of the dwarfed and shrunken star which we call the sun. If this idea be cor- rect they will become more frequent and larger as ages pass, until at length our much -admired orb of day Is dark- ened and . ceases to be a. worthwhile source of heat. Astronomers and meteorologists are much interested in sten spots, .and keep a constant watch on them. Dur- ing the last few months they have been remarkably few and small. It seems to have been proved that spotted areas of the sun have a lower temperature than the bright spots of the photosphere. Hence it is inferrel that quite possibly the ,recent relative absence of sun spots may be account- able for the remarkably warm winter we have been enjoying. Minard's Liniment for Dandruff.
