WELL SATISFIED WITH
BARDS OWN TABLETS
Once a mother has used Baby's
Own Tablets for her little ones she
will use nothing else. Her use of
them leads her to believe there is no
other ,medicine to equal them for any
of the many minor ailments of -child-
hood. Concerning them Mrs. Eugene
Boisvert, East Aldfield, Que., writes;
°•My baby was terribly constipated,
but after the use of Baby's Own Tab-
lets he is entirely well again. I am
ao well satisfied with the Tablets
that I lose no opportunity in recom-
mending them to other mothers."
The Tablets are sold by medicine
dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box
from The Dr. Williams' Medicine
Co., Brockville, Ont.
GROUND HOG DAY IN BRANT
• COUNTY.
Brant County is holding its first
annual Ground Hog Day on June 1st.
Ground hogs have increased so rap-
idly that they have become quite a
menace in many sections of the
county, and Mr. R. Schuyler, the
agricultural representative, has ar-
ranged that a ground hog killing day
be held June 1st.
Appeals are being made through
the local press urging all farmers of
the county to use cas'bonebi-sulphide
on this day and try and destroy as
many as possible. Directions are be-
ing sent out stating how to use the
canboa bi-sulphide, a n d already
quite a number have purchased the
same, and are preparing for June 1st.
All the township councils are assist-
ing in the advertising and it is ex-
pected that a large majority of the
farmers will take part in this cam-
paign, which, if done carefully,
should exterminate this pest.
HOW THEY KEEP WET IN
WASHINGTON.
Perhaps this in an old trick in
,other towns, but it is a new one in
Washington, where the bootleggers
no longer flourish like the bay tree
and the officials suffer from drought
like unto the Sahara.
A young woman answered an ad-
vertisement by a Washington bus-
iness man. The first question he
asked her was if she were in perfect
health.
"Perfect," said the girl, thinking it
-would help a lot.
"I'm sorry," said the man, "but
then you won't do. I want girls who
are not in perfect health."
The young woman •investigated.
She found that this man employed
eight girls in his- office, None of
them apparently was in perfect
health and of course they had to
visit a physician at various times.
Needless to say when they were ill
there was only one remedy, the pre -
ascription and the demon. The busi-
ness man- got the benefit of most of
the prescriptions and managed to
keep himself pretty well supplied this
Way.
BACK TO THE HORSE.
The motor -truck and traction peo-
ple advertise to the contrary, but
according to reports the trend on
farms where gas end steam have
been used is back to the horse. Note
the following from a letter in the
New lock Sun for February 17th:
"The Ndble Foundation, Limited,
loperating more than 30,000 acres of
land near Ndbleford, Alberta, Can-
ada, reports that in double disking
and harrowing, when conditions were
particularly favorable .for tractor
ase, they found it cost 42 cents per
acre to do the work with horses, 60
per acre with steam tractors, and 70
cents per acre with gas tractors,
even without talking into account de-
preciation, and that had depreciation
been figured in the difference would
have been much more in favor of
[horses.
"It is also interesting to note in
this connection that in the Canadian
Northwest.farmers have found trac-
tors much more expensive of 'opera-
tion than horses and are reinstating

horse-drawn equipment just as rap-
idly as they can secure good horses.
In this connection here is the
testimony of a few who know:
The United States Trucking Cor-
poration New York (3,200 horses and
300 auto trucks): "Our experience
justifies us in figuajng the cost of a
truck as one -t iiird more than 'the
corresponding cost for a horse-drawn
-vehicle."
Knidketbooker Pee Company (with
about 1,000 heroes in liie city):
"Long experience shows us that
-horses are more economical and re-
liable. They are indispensable in
our transportation business."
J. M. Horton Ice Cream Company
(350 horses and 60 trucks): "In the
winter, the cost of truck delivery is
prohibitive, but even under ordinary
conditions, our operating costs are
all in favor of horses."
Frank L. Hall Company, Bakers,
Buffalo: "We are using 99 horses
and eight one -ton trucks. We find
that no auto trucks can compete with
the horse in first cost, time, upkeep,
or depreciation."
General Baking Company: "Our
city delivery is cheaper with horses
than with auto trucks. With the re-
duction in the cosh of feed and hay,
I see an expansion and economy in
horse delivery in many other lines
of business in the future."
Every family inmerica will be
indirectly benefited Ey th reduction
of retail operating costa. When the
ice man, the coal man, the milk man,
the grocery man, the butcher, the
baker, or any one else, covers his de-
livery routes with automobiles, the
American family pays the bill for
such needless extravagance.
WHY DOES WATER BOIL WHEN
PUT IN LIME?
lust as the application of heat to
water causes a chemical change, re-
solving the water into the gases of
which it is composed, so also the
combination of water and lime
causes a chemical reaction which
produces a large amount of heat,
precisely as other chemical changes
result in the formation of heat in
the course of their action.
Quicklime is a compound of cal-
clunr and oxygen, bearing the chemi-
cal name of "calcium oxide," and the
symbol of formula "Cao"—meaning
that it is made up of one part of cal-
cium (Ca) and one part of oxygen
(0). If water is added, the water
and the lime combine very powerful-
ly. The latter draws the former into
itself, just as if it were slacking a
violent thirst, the result being what
is known as "slacked lime" or lime to
which water has been added. Here
the formula becomes a combination
of that of the lime (Ca0) and that of
the water (120) or Ca02H2—there
being naw two parts of oxygen as
well as two parts of hydrogen. It
is the violence of this combination,
the avidity with which the quicklime
seeks to draw the water into itself,
which gives rise to the heat and
causes' the water to boil and bubble
as if it were over an oven flame.
STERN REMINDERS •
OF RHEUMATISM
The Trouble must be Treated
Through the Blood.
Every rheumatice sufferer should
realize that rheumatism is rooted in
the blood and that to get rid of it
must be treated through the blood.
The old belief that rheumatism was
caused by cold, damp weather, is now
exploded, Such weather conditions
may start the pains, but it is not the
cause. Liniments and outward ap-
plications may give temporary relief,
hut that is all they can do because
they do not reach its cources in the
blood. The sufferer from rheuma-
tism who experiments with outward
applications is only wasting time and
money in depending upon such treat-
ment; the trouble' still remains,
and it is all the time becoming
more firmly rooted. Treat this
disease Through the blood and
You will soon find relief. Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills act directly on im-
pure, weak blood; they purify and
strengthen it, and so act on the
cause of the rheumatism. Mr. P. J.
MacPherson, R. R. No. 5, Cardigan,
P.E.T., says: "About three years ago
I was attacked with rheumatism. I
began taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
and soon the trouble disappeared and
I am in better health than before. I
also know of an old lady acquaint-
ance who was badly crippled with
rheumatism in her arms and legs,
and who suffered very much, She,
too, took Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and
is now able to do her housework. I
tell you this in the hope it may be of
benefit to some other sufferer."
You can procure Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills through any dealer in
medicine or they will be sent you by
mail at 60 cents a box or six boxes
for $2.60 by writing direct to The
Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brock-
ville, Oat.
These Require a Warm Sail at
Planting Time.
Different Types of Melons Require
Different Handling — Row to
Grow Cucumbers and Squash—
Raising Rhubarb.
(Contributed by Ontario Department of
agriculture, Toronto.)
Melons are In the class of vege-
tables which require a warm temper-
atture for their growth. The length
of time that they require to mature
any quantity of fruit is longer than
our period of freedom treat frost.
For this reason we generally start
the seed in a hotbed and give it at
'least one transplanting before setting
to the field. There are two' methods
of growing melons: one which is used
with the small or Rocky Ford type
of melons, the other for the large
Montreal. The young plants are
started the same way in either case.
The seed should be started about
the 1st -16th of May In small pots
filled within % of an inch of the top
with loose mellow loam; plate the
seed on this raid cover with Ma of an
inch of sand. Keep them at a tem-
perature of 76 deg. with sufficient
water. When they have outgrown
this small pot they should be trans-
planted to 6 -inch pots. We grow two
plants of Rocky Ford melons in a pot,
but only one of the Montreal type.
For bhe small melons we generally
plant them in hills four feet apart.
We dig out a hole at each place, fill
it nearly to the top with fresh horse
manure prepared as if for a hotbed,
then cover with six inches of soil. In
this soil we set the young plants
when danger of frost Is over. If we
wish them a little earlier, we may
cover them with a small cold frame
about 30 inches square. After three
or four melons have set it is well to
nip off the ends of the growing
shoots. This forces all of the food
into the fruit, and makes them grow
more rapidly. The melons should be
placed on a board or berry box to
keep them off the earth, and turned
frequently to make them ripen more
evenly.
The seed of the Montreal melons
is started between the first and mid-
dle of April and the plants are shifted
to larger pots as they require. About
the middle of May we dig out a fur-
row where the row is to be, about 18
inches wide and 18 inches deep, the
length of the patch. This we fill near-
ly to the top with manure, prepared
as it would be for a hot -bed, cover
with six inches of soil and cover over
with frames and sash. The plants are
set in. these about every two feet in
the row. These frames are kept over
them until all danger of frost is past.
Each day, if the weather is tit, they
must be carefully aired. After a time
the glass is left off entirely during
the day, but held close at hand to
be replaced If needed. The plants
must be kept. carefully watered, as
this is very necessary to produce
strong growth. Melons and cucum-
bers should not be grown close
together.
Cucumbers are generally planted
in hills three feet apart. Some of the
soil is dug out, the hole filled with
well rotted manure, three or four
inches GI soil are placed over the ma-
nure, and the seed planted on the
south side. The seed may be planted
in many sections by May 25th, as
danger of freezing will, in most sea-
sons, be over before It is up. Plant
8-10 seeds in a hill and thin the
plants down to three after danger
from cucumber beetle is over. We
may start some seed in pots as we
did our melons, and transplant them
into. the field after danger of frost
Is past. If we care to spend the time
we may trim the plants as Is done in
the greenhouse. This Is very simple,
once the fruiting habit of the cucum-
ber is understood. The cucumber has
its male and female -.parts in separate
blossoms, the male flowers being
borne much more freely. Female
flowers are generally borne in the
leaf joints near the end of the main
stem or in the first leaf joint of the
side shoots. The leaf joints nearest
them bear clusters of male flower.
If we nip off the end of the shoot
just past these male flowers, at the
leaf joints new side shoot will appear
bearing cucumbers. Continuous
trimming, if carefully done, will pro-
duce many more cucumbers and less
vine.
Squash seed is pianitki in the same
way as cucumber. ' We Must, how-
ever, give more space between hills
on account of their stronger growth.
Six feet will be sufficient. We. seldom
trim squash. But if we wish larger
specimens it is well to stop all growth
after a few squash have set.
Raising Rhubarb.
The easiest way to start a rhubarb
bed Is to buy roots, and if they are
too large, to split in sections with a
spade, being sure that each section
has a bud in it. These are then plant-
ed three feet apart in the row with
the bud Just below the surface of the
ground. The ground should be in
good condition before planting. This
is best done in the spring. If the
plant grows well this first summer.
we may make a few small pullings
the second season, but not before.
The third season you can pull as of-
ten as required as long no you do not
completely strip the plant. The plants
should be well manured each fall
with well -rotted manure, and in the
spring this is worked into the soil.
If the roots, after a few years. begin
In throw up many seed stalks, Ihey
