Mothers who keep a box of Baby's Own Tablets in,the house may feet that the lives of their little ones are reasonably safe during the hot wea- ther. 'Stomach troubles, cholera in - Sanborn and diarrhoea carry off • thousands of. little ones every sum - liner, in most cases because the mother does not have a safe medi- cine at hand to give promptly. Baby's Own Tablets relieve these troubles, • or if given occasionally to the well child will prevent their coming on. The Tablets are guaranteed - by a government analyst to be absolutely harmless even to the newborn babe. They are especially good in summer and keep the stomach sweet and pure. They are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. WHY IS IT EASIER TO SWIM IN SALT WATER THAN FRESH? Everyone who has learned to swim • in an inland lake or river and has then plunged into the ocean, realizes the great difference between the two kinds of water, the added buoyancy and feeling of freedom in salt water as compared to fresh water. But it should be remembered that there are two functions inherent in swimming. The first is to remain afloat and the second is to move forward- It is in the first of these that salt water hes the great advantage over that of riv- ers, for the effort of moving forward is the same in either case. The marked buoyancy of the salt water is due to the fact that our bodies are really about three-quart- ers water, but the remaining one- quarter is composed of bone and oth- er substances which are heavier than water and therefore tend to make us sink. Owing to the salt in the ocean fresh water is lighter and our bodies therefore sink more rapidly—a con- dition which may 'be carried to such an extreme that in some localities, in- cluding the Dead Sea and the Great Salt Lake, of Utah, it is almost im- possible to sink, for the greater the amount of salt the heavier the water and the greater resistance to the force exerted by any body pressing down upon it. -Husband's Story Will • Amaze Seaforth He says: "Adler-i-ka helped my wife for gas on the stomach and sour stomach in TWENTY MINUTES.

Umbach, Druggist. THAT IS A FARM WIFE WORTH? The wife of a farmer is a farmer. She is just as much a farmer as her husband. The business of running a farm home is absolutely as import- ant as that of running the farm lands. Without the first, the second could not be done. The wife of a farmer is a farmer. Make no mis- take about that! There has of late years been dawn- ing upon the perception of the farm wife the truth that she is engaged in the poorest -paid occupation in the world and one that includes the long- est hours and the least "time off." By this statement I don't mean any such flaming proclamation, as the headlines of the yellow newspapers might put it, as that "The Farm Wife. is in Revolt." No such nonsense as that. I believe the farm wife does less complaining about her lot than most people. It may be said that she is so busy that she doesn't get time to complain. But the real truth is, thatshe knows unerringly that the business of farming is .a domestic business—a family business—and that, in general, the fahit lies not with her husband that she is engaged in a never -ceasing grind, but is to be laid at the door of two factors: 1. Ignorance of the world as to the farm wife's true economic place. 2. Economic conditions, bearing against farming, over which the in- -alividual farmer has no control. The difficulty has been, in the past, that the farm wife, though her feet and body informed her at the end of the' day how much work she had been doing remained, almost alone of all workers, inarticulate because she had ho comparative figures to tell her specifically just what a busy person she was. Without a pedometer to tell her hobo many marathons she was doing soquund the kitchen, she could only indulge in the large gen- erality: "I get so tired." To which getidraliaation, Mrs. 0. W'hatter Cinch, her city sister, would reply with great feeling: "Yes, mita dear, don't we wives get tired, though! I feel so utterly done at the end of the day, myself!" On inquiry, it. might be found that Mrs. 0. Whatter Cinch's day's work had consisted of attending a few frantic bargain ruslees, straphanging on the street car ,end making two trips between the hour, and the delicatessen—but, viewing the thing in a general way, there was no doubt that both felt tired. I call to mind a conversation, or snatch of conversation, I heard be- tween two women not so long ago. One of these women had four chil- dren and did all her own housework. The other had tab children, two maids to do the work and a governess to see that the children didn't bother mother. The woman with the ser- vant was chiding the other for not visiting her. The excuse was: "I haven't had any chance. It just keeps me on the go all the time, here in the house." "Oh, yes, I know," said the other woman. "Isn't it tiring, though, to look after a house and provide for • the children. I get so tired some- times. I feel as though I should drop" "But you have servants," remon- strated the first woman. "Oh, yes," was the breezy answer'; "but you know I have to buy all the ' children's clothes, and they do run ' through them so, and you know how fatiguing it is to be running in and out of town buying stockings and— and—things." This conversation. I pass you my word, was not invented by me. I heard it. I haven't the least doubt that the woman with the servants felt that she had a hard, hard life of it. So far as generalities are con- cerned, one tired is just like another tired. They are both states of tired- ness. But coming down to brass tacks, if both women had made a list of the real physical activities in which they had been engaged that day, the mat- ter would have taken on another aspect. One would have been able to present a list of definite, productive, nerve-racking tasks which actually made the wheels of life go round; the other list would have shown clear- ly that, just as the butterfly can get as tired as the bee, so a person can claim fatigue on the strength, of hav- ing done next to nothing useful at all. Here is where the new studies in hrme economics and the new analyses of the lives ,of farm women as done by the extension services of the De- partment of Agriculture and the state universities, are not only eleciting amazing facts about rural life and the rural women, but are collating those facts in a brass -tack manner capable of discovering the farm wo- man to herself—for the first time. For the genuine truth is that hardly a farm woman has known before hist how 'busy she was or the true extent and range of her work. I can make this difference between' generalization and concrete facts plain by giving a few of the latter out of the many that have been brought to my attention. You hear a good deal about the importance of the eight-hour day or the forty-four hour week. At this very momentmen and women in a score of industries are striking to maintain their declaration that it is (Continued on page 2) THIN. WATERY BLOOD 1 MEANS ILL HEALTH 1 Rich, Red Blood Bring Bright Eyes and Rosy Cheeks. The girl who returns home from school or from work thoroughly tired out will be fortunate if she escapes a physical breakdown, because this getting tired so easily is -probably the first warning symptom of a thinning blood that must not be disregarded if her health is to be preserved. When the blood becomes thin and impure the patient becomes pale. She not only tires out easily but cften suffers front headaches, palpi- tation of the heart, dizzy spells and a loss of appetite. In this condition Dr. Williams' Pink Pills will be found to have a beneficial action on the blood. Miss •Delitna Lafreniere, St. Ambrose. Man., has proved this in her own case, and advise others to use these pills. She gays: "Before I began the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills I felt like a complete wreck of my former. self. My blood was poor and thin. I suffered from faint and dizzy spells, and had backaches and headdches al- most every day.- I decided to give Dr, Williams' Pink Pills a trial, and by the time I had used three boxes I felt much better and $ continued tak- ing the pills until I felt as well as I ever did. For what they did in my case I cannot recommend these pills too highly." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills can be ob- tained from any dealer in medicine, or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.60 from The Dr. Wil- liams' Medicine Co, Brockville, Ont. ,,w Wheat and Otsa preferred by renA. try.--01re Them Plenty el Gre, Feed -„.Beet .Growers. Can Mince Good Syrup, to' (Contributed by Ontario DeppaMnipat, 'o Agriculture, Toronto:), A pullet requires more fledthan a hen, It it is intended that the pullet shall produce. eggs. ;A bird to. lay well must Ave a aurplup of feed over and above body niataten- ance: The excess of feed above body maintenance goes either towards growth, fat, or egg production. Why the pullet requires more feed than the hen is because her growth is usually not complete wheg she be- gins laying. Poultry prefer wheat and corn to almost any other grain, but a lot depends on what they were fed when growing. Certain Leede they never have seen they do not relish, usual- ly, when first fed. Hence one per- son's hens eat oatsor barley much better than their neighbor's. The available grain feeds on the farm are corn, buckwheat, barley, and oats. Good wheat cannot be used. TUe eon -milling wheat, such as that which is sprouted, or very small, may be used up to' twenty-five per cent. of the ratiop. Poultry feeds are divided Into two classes: ose, whole or cracked grains, commonly called scratch feed; and the other, ground grains, commonly called mash. Scratch feeds are generally fed night and morning, and are scat- tered in straw in order to induce the birds to scratch or take exercise. A mixture of two or more kinds of grain usually gives better results than one single grain, largely be- cause individual birds' appetites vary from day to day. A good mixture for the winter month might contain as much as fifty per cent, good corn, either whole or cracked; if corn could not be had, and the birds were accustomed to eating buck- wheat, the buckwheat would answer nearly as well, or one could use twenty-five per cent, buckwheat and twenty-five per cent. corn. To the corn or buckwheat could be added twenty-five per cent. of barley, ten per cent. of wheat screenings, and fifteen per cent. of good oats. If one was obliged to do so, almost any of the grains could be fed alone with the exception of oats. There is too much hull or husk on oats to use entirely as a single feed. At present for a mash feed we are using the standard bog feed. If the ground grains are to be fed moist or mixed with cooked household refuse then the mixture should be one that will mix to a crumbly state, but if fed dry In an •open hopper the above is not so important. The mash feed is the one where the animal meals are generally given. The amounts vary from ten to twenty per cent. of the mixture. The animal meals used are com- monly high grade tankage and beef scrap. Where one has plenty of skimmtlk or buttermilk the other animal feeds are unnecessary. Some use green cut bone; Cooked refuse meat, such as livers, lights, beef heads, etc. A very good mash can be made of one part each by measure of shorts, barley meal, and ground oats• Corn meal could be used in the place of the barley or with it. If one is short of green food or routs, it would be well to add one part of bran. Perhaps the simplest mash to feed from an open hopper is rolled or crushed oats. We have used this, when the birds had milk to drink, for a number of years with excellent results.. Laying hens require plenty of green feed. This green, succulent feed, is very important. Too much grain and no green food at times is eery dangerous. Cabbage is one of the best green feeds. Hoots are very good, but clover leaves should be within reach as well as the roots. Sprouted oats are used to a large extent on poultry farms. When the birds get accustomed to a green and succulent food it is generally wise to give them all they will eat. A pen of fifteen pullets will eat a fair-sized head of cabbage almost every day, or one hundred stens will eat a peck of sprouted oats day after day. Keep your pen sweet and clean, but not drafty. Give the hens plenty to eat and some variety to Inc feeds. If you are regular in feeding add kind in your manner, the liens us- ually respond wtlb very fair egg production. Grit and shell should always be within easy access. W. R. Graham, O. A. College, Guelph, !- Early After -Harvest Cultivation. "A stitch in time saves nine." In I the case of weeds prompt and thor- ough after -harvest cultivation pre- vents many thousands of weeds from developing seeds, and thus saves hours of tedious labor the succeed- ing season. Early after -harvest cul- tivations is one of the best ways to destroy annual and winter annual weeds, such as False Flax, Corn Cockle, Wild Buckwheat, Plgweed, Ball Mustard, Wormseed Mustard and Annual Sow Thistle. Plough shallow, not more than three or four inches deep, immediately after har- vest, and harrow and cultivate fre- quently. - By the shallow ploughing the weed seeds are kept near the surface and by the frequent stirring of the soil they are made to sprout, and having sprouted they are easily destroyed by further cultivation,— Dr. C.
