tioned Dumas, 13alzae, Vicior Hugo,
Goethe, Heine, Shelley, Voltaire,
Rousseau, and Lord Macaulay. It is
said that Algernon Swinburne abhor-

that his power to write diminished as

Mr. Kipling, Thomas Hardy, George

course, Sir James Barrie are all on
the smokers' side.
An Exercise In Mnemonics.
A middle-aged suburbanite over-
taken on his Saturday' afternoon stroll
by a young married friend who he
knew was taking a memory -training
l;nurse, inquired as to the progress
tnade. "Doing fine!" was the reply.
'Fill your -pipe front my pouch and
('ll tell' you while re perambulate."
But the last word was scarcely ut-
tered when he made a right -about -
fare and returned at the double on
his tracks. In the evening the middle-
aged friend called to return the
pouch. "Thanks," said the owner.
"You'd wonder why I left you so
abruptly. Law of ataoclatlon--work-
ed beautifully. The word 'tobacco,'
followed by .'perambulate' reminded
me of something." "Was it Import -
ants?' "Well—yes. Don't breathe a

bulator outside the tobacconist's, and
Ilse baby was in it!"
Westminster Bridge.
Westminster Bridge was built in
the years 1854-1862 to replace the

signed by the Swiss architect, La-
belye, and took from 1738 to 1750 to
build. It bad originally a very high

English to commit suicide!! It was

Rectifying an Error.
A well-known telteler once relat-
ed his American experiences :,propos
the "extras" made by some of the
New' fork tramway ear conductors.
The conductors, he said, all carried a
registering machine on their breasts,
and for every fare ealleeted they were
:imposed to pull down the bell, and.,
11nts register not only the actual re-
reipts, but the numb of passengers
serried per journey. One day an in-
,neetor jumped on a ear and inquired
lit a new conductor, who had only
been on duty three days, "How are
lou getting on?" "Fine, sir," replied
the renductor, a young elan who hail-
ed from Glasgow, "So I think," dry-
ly remarked the inspector. "I see
you've only registered eight fares
,into starting your joirney, and there
are fifteen people on the car." "Is
that so?" was the cool reply. "We'll
; nun snake that right," Then, looking
inside the car, he shouted out, "Here,

• Is the Badger Dying Ont.,
It is believed that the badger is
dying out, but proof of the presence
of badgers in a tract of woodland
that lies about midway between two
Cheviot streams was unexpectedly
provided recently. A local pack of
foxhounds, out cub -hunting, were led
0 an "earth" where a fox had taken
refuge Digging operations showed
that the hole formed the entrance to
two separate chambers, from one of
which a Couple of foxes were drawn
while the other held four badgers, all,
of which were captured.

USING F . TRACTORS
Viewing the Matter as 'n- Purely
Business Proposition:..
Sitting Down to Count the Cost—
What the NI/whines flan Do --The
I'er•sunal Parlor In Tractor
Management Important,
ICentrlbut'6 ov Ontario Oepartmeat of
Agriculture, '1'orouto.)
THE farmer, who Ss always of
cuuservative nature, is not
so readilyconvinced
of the
tt'aptur'e paying qualities.
He has seen detuoeotratlon machines
with oue mac plough as much
ground in an hour as he could plough
In a day; he has also seed tralctors
give a very creditable showing on the
belt. Then again he has seen inns
chines whlcil for some reason or
other did not give satisfaction; be
has also seen instances where ma-
chines were tied up for weeks for
want of a spare part to replace a
broken one. The result is that they
are nut "falling over each other" to
buy tractors. A tractor costs a lot o1
money, and he is afraid to make the
plunge, not beiug so certain that it
will pay for Heel!.
An old saw -miller once said to the
writer: "Every second that saw is not
aytually cutting lumber she 1s a bill
of expense." Manufacturera tell tut
that Ole factory which can be kept
going twenty-four hours a day is the
factory which gives the bigge t re-
turns. The sane Is true of OA farm
tractor; the moslprofltable a ine
is tate one which is keys at it for
three hundred days o1 the year. This
means that if we hare not enough
i for
themachine going work to keepmb c
g g
a certain length of time each year we
will be losing money.
The debt which a tractor 1111151 wipe
out when it sets foot upon a farm is
a two -fold one. First ft must more
titan repay operating expenses. and
second It must pay what/the luanl.t-
faetuiel calls "overhead expenses."
The machine has no reason to fear ,
the former obligatiun when it Is pro-
perly handled. We know that the
«051 of ploughing w11.1.1 a tractor rusts
only from $1.25 to $2.00 an acre,
while horse -ploughing will came to
anywhere between $3.50 and $0.00
per acre, while other work shoes an
equally favorable comparison fur the
tractor. Besides the, draw -baa' work
the tractor offers itself as a source of
bell power which work horses have
long since ceased to perform.
'rhe "overhead" expenses which the
tractor must face Consist mainly of
interest do money invested, together
with a reasonable allowance for de-
preciation on the price of itself, plus
the price of any machinery bought ,
expressly for use with the tractor.
The price of a three -plough tractor is
somewhere near $1,400; the ploughs
cost $200. To this we must add say
$500 for part ownership of a thresher
and silo -filler. This makes ;2,100 In
all, The interest on this at 7 per
cent. is equal to 1147.00, and the de-
preciation of 1.0 per cent. per annum
Is equal to $210, or a total of $357,
which our tractor must face, no mat-
ter how much or how little work it
does. If the machine does only ten
days of w.ork per year the cost of the
overhead per day would be $35.70;
if, however, the machine is need for
one hundred days the overhead drops
to $3.57 per day. So that the greater
the number of days in which the
tractor is employed per year the more
profitable will the machine prove.
There is plenty of work for a trac-
tor on most Ontario farms, but the
work is not in such shape that the
tractor can do it satisfactorily. A
tractor cannot do good work id small
fields. Turning around, even with a
small tractor, is laborious work for
both the operator and the machine,
and is not conducive to the maximum
amount of work per day nor to the
best quality of work.
Most Ontario farms have too many
fences for profitable horse -farming,
to say nothing of using a tractor.
Fences mean waste land; they harbor
weeds, and it costs more to keep the
usual quota of fences in repair than
it does to build a temporary fence
when needed and roll it up when not
needed. Removing some fences Is the
first step toward fair play for the
tractor. It is hard work to cultivate
among stumps and boulders with
horses. With a tractor it is impos-
sible to do good work in such condi-
Done. The second step in Arranging
our work for the tractor is to remove
all obstructions. Give [be tractor a
fair chance at its work and it will not
disappoint you.
In summing up the tractor's case
RS a business proposition we ,must
consider the following.points:-
1. That the tractor will do farm
work more cheaply than horses can
do it, if the work is properly arrang-
ed for the tractor.
2. The personal factor in tractor
operation is so great that it alone
may calla, success or failure.
3. When a tractor is kept busy
enough, its upkeep and overhead boat
per year is far leas than the same on
the horses, which it is able to sub-
stitute for.
4. Belt work constitutes a large
portion of the tractor's usefulness. In
order to make it a paying proposi-
tion, it meat do the farmer's belt
work,—L, G. Iielmpel, KemptvlIle

Save Manure.
There has never been a time when
the making, saving, and utilizing of
all sorts of farth manure was so
essential. All fertilizing material. Is
high in price, and some 'lads cannot
be had in sufficient quantttles at all.
Farm manure may'$ used for a num-
ber of purposes t•, a much greater
advantage than, -'commercial fer-
tilizers. The total quantity Of mar
nere can be greatly increased by
keeping live stock sheds and stables
well bedded W1til straw, leaves, and
other refuse about the farm.
s
More than 1 per cent. of the total
employees in ndnatrial occupations
in England are''1'women.

Germany have practically doubled,
while births have declined,
During the least two years the
average wage of women workers in
Wisconsin has increased nearly fifty
per cent,
Cleveland, 0., is one of the great-
est clubwomen cities in the West,
having more than 35,000 members.
Twenty-four charwomen are em-
ployed to do the housework in the
castle of the former Kaiser at Doorn,
Holland.
There are more than 50,000 women
students enrolled in sixty-eight col-

THE REASON WHY
Why can we think of ',only one
thing at a time?—Ifyou are asking
the question intelligently, you must
know that to think means to concen-
trate, and in that sense we can only
think of one thing at -a time, be-
cause it takes all of that part of the
brain which is used for thinking for
just one thing. To give close atten-
tion to any one subject means to turn
the entire brain force practieally in
one direction. To , let other things
pass through the mind at the same
time may appear not to interfere
with the one thought, but they do,
and our conclusions suffer according-
ly.
You can be' doing something with
one part of yopr body, while engaged
in thinking of one thing, but only
such things as are more or leas me-
chanical as- the result of habit, such
as walking, or moving the arms—
things which the parts have done so
often that actual attention by the
brain is not absolutely essential.
Take for ipatance, the fact that a man
in deep thought on oile aubject will
sometimes walk up and down the
room or along the sidewalk. He can
do this walking and still think con-
centratedly; but if he stubs his toe
on the leg of a chair or, on a rough
place in the walk, his thought is
broken, because of the brain immedi-
ately takes itself out of the thought

and pays its attention to the toe that
was stubbed.
What is the difference between gra-
ham flour and whole wheat?—Gra-
ham flour from which graham bread
is baked is made from unbolted flour.
The process of bolting flour consists
briefly in taking out of it all, but the
inside of the grain of wheat. When
this has been k done, we have :pure
white flour.
In making graham flour every part
of the grain of wheat is left in tete
flour, and ground up fine, ` Many
people think that grahars flour is
made from a special graiq,called gra-
ham, but this is not true, It is said
that graham bread is not so good for
you because it contains the outside
covering of the wheat grain or bran,
whicOi is composed of ahnost pure
silica, the same substance of which
glass is made, and cannot, therefore,
be good for us.
We fl m
Whole wheat flour is made from
0
the wholeg rain of wheat from which
the outside covering or bran has been
separated. It,contains everything but
the bran and is, therefore, the most
nutritious flour made.'
The grain of wheat has several cov-
erings 11f bran coats, the outer tine of
%chich is the one composed of silica,
and which is not valuable as food,
1'.ndtrneath this husk are found the
inner coats, which contain the gluten.
Gluten i11 a dark sub-tante•, contain-
ing the fle.eh-forming; er nitrngeneu.e
elements, which are .Valuable in mus-
cle building. The inside or heart of
the grain of wheat consist: of cells

times in slaking whole wheat flour,
the heart of the grain is also remov-
ed, making pure gluten flour. The
name whole wheat flow' is not. 11,'l' -
rate, therefore, fur ttrahan flour is
made of the whole wheat grain, while
whole wheat dour is 'nude of only
certain parts of the grain of wheat,
WHY DOES HAiR TI'It.N GREY?
The color of our hair, like that of
our eyes and Ain, is clue to the
secretion of a varying amount of
pigment or coloring matter, which,
in turn, ,depends largely 'pun the
percentage of various chemical con-
stituents in our sysit•nls. For ex-
ample, a person with n large amount
of iron in their blood. usually mani-
fests this by dark hair and eyes,
while there are other characteristics
of blondes, brunettes, and red-head-
ed persons which have been worked
out to a varying degree of precision
by students of human nature as a
whole.
As we grow older this pigment,
loses some of its intensity. The high-
ly colored cheeks of childhood and
youth are replaced by the sallow,
ashen complexion of advancing age,
and the hair naturally reflects this
decrease in ' pigmentation, finally
turning a silvery white. Prolonged
worry, fright or the lack of suffi-
cient light also appears to have a
marked effect upon the pigment
cella which supply the hair. for there
are well authenticated rases of
hair turning white within a very
brief period of`tinie. On account. of
the fact that hair needs a large sup-
ply of pigment, brunettes turn grey.
much sooner than blondes, while
persons with extremely light hair_
thatof the "corn-stilk" variety—
frequently go through life without
any alteration in color whatever,
though their hair usually Ines the
major portion of its life and lustre.
LIME FOR BOW-LEGS
Knock-knees, bow-legs and other
deformities of children are caused, ac-
cording to Dr. Frank E. Peckham,
writing in the Journal of the Ameri-
can Medical Association, by a lack of
lime in the food. In such cases there
is generally a history of artificial
feeding, which usually means that the
milk given was sterilized or pasteur-
ized. These processes, 'while insur-
ing the ,purity of the milk, destroy
the vitamines that are so necessary
to healthy growth. These vitamines
are essential to the assimilation of
lime, and withote lime the bones grow
soft.
Dr. Peckham insists that mother's
milk is the ideal diet, but that when
cow's milk is submitted the., must be
fresh and uncooked and should have
lime water added to it. The juice of
oranges must also be given.
