Care of Milk In Got Weather, (Contributed by Dated* Department of Agriculture. Toronto.) Now is the time to start and get realy for the fall litter of pigs. Any females of breeding age should be bred as son as poeslblein order that they` may farrow before the cold weather of winter sets In. The gesta- tion period of the sow is sixteen weeks and consequently, if the sows ars to farrow before winter, it 1s necessary that they be bred soon. For the average•tarmer the beat time to have the sows [arrow is In April and October. When thepigsare born in April they are given a chance to get a good start before the hot weather comes. When the litter comes In the tall, say October or early November, the young pigs are given a chance to get out into the fields and get exercise, whtch gives thein an early start before they are put into the closer confinement of winter Quarters. For those contemplating breeding sows for fall litters, always pick the strongest and moat typy on hand. Always use the best individuals to be had, particularly those exhibiting a good matronly appearance as shown by the number of teats. Plenty of exercise while the sows are pregnant is very essential, and a good way for the sows to gain this is to allow them the freedom of the fields after the grain has been cut and taken off. As the time for far- rowing approaches, closer watch must be kept on the sow in pig, and a few days, say two weeks before her time Is up she should be brought In and Introduced to her new quarters. She need not necessarily be kept in there all the time, but she should be kept In there at night She should receive a little grain at the outset with plenty of water and some feed of a laxative nature to pre- vent constipation, which is the bane of hog raisers. By Judicious feeding of the sow previous to farrowing the owner will have the sow In good physical condition and the pigs will come strong and healthy, and there will be lots of milk for the young- sters when they arrive. As for farrowing quarters any good warm box -stall, free from draughts and dampness, is a good place. The quarters should be dry and clean. Some people advocate little bedding for the sow while the pigs are young, claiming that the youngsters are liable to get buried in the straw and the sow is liable to lie on them. A good remedy for this would be to use cut straw where possible. However, if the cut straw is out of the question, it may be lust as well not to be too liberal with the long straw. The farmer must use his own judgment when emergencies arise, always being careful to do the best thing for the mother and family. —J. C. McBeath, O. A. College, Guelph.

THE HURON EXPOSITOR lir DISTRICT MATTERS CHOLERA INFANTUM eUholeratinfantum is one of the fo- etal ailments of childhood. It is a 'trouble that comes on suddenly, es- pecially during the summer months, -and unless prompt action is taken the 'little one may soon be beyond aid. -Baby's Ova Tablets are an ideal niedreine in warding off this trouble. 'T'hey regulate the bdwels andsweet- -en the stomach and thus prevent all the dreaded summer complaints. Concerning them Mrs. Fred Rose, of South Bay, Ont., says:"I feel Baby's Own Tablets saved the life of our lbaby when she had cholera infantum 'and I would not be without them." The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. CONDITIONS IN TOWN Dear Expositor:—There are two or three things that we need in our journey through this world, someone has said. We need food, clothes, and contentment, and these three about fill the bill. I once read a verse that ran something like this: May you have potatoes when you're hungry, Whiskey when you're dry;.... -Greenbacks when you're hard up, and Heaven when yod die. I think by the way the vote went last•spring most of us think we can ,get along without the whiskey, but we cannot get along without food and clothes. On the first scene we busi- nessmen haven't much to complain about, although, no doubt, there are some women in town who feed their families on home-grown pork, pot- atoes, onions and bakers' bread all the year round, but usually we get, or we can get, as good a quality and variety as the farmer has for his table. As for clothes we men in town are asnany well supplied, especially the ones who handle ready-made suits that can be bought up wholesale at a very reasonable price, but one some- times sees old fellows, yes and young men top, going around town looking more or less like Santa Olaus, some with greese running down their clothes and so dirty you would think they hadn't washed since the flood, and one day I saw one of our dry goods Merchants on the street shovel - ,ling gravel with patches on his pant- aloons as big as New York. I sup- pose he was saving up his money to buy a Ford car, but on the whole the town people are a pretty respect- able lot. Some indeed are so well dressed you would think they owned a 100 -acre farm instead of one-fifth of an acre. - Now in regard to the third fe- ,quirement, that is contentment. I think perhaps we need to be a little more like One honest John Tompkin, the hed- ger and ditcher, That although he was poor did not want to be richer, For all such vain wishes in him were prevented By a fortunate habit of being con- tented. This is a spirit that seems rather scarce among us business men now that prices are beginning to drop on the wholesale market. We are afraid we cannot get our goods off our hands at the old high levels, but we should remember the old saying: There is no use in crying over spilt milk, and we should also remember we had our stores packed with goods from cellar to attic the first few months of the war, and I remember buying prints, cottons, flannelette, and etc. at 8 and 10 cents the yard whole- sale that were rapidly run up to 40 and 50 cents, and ginghams that we bought at 12 cents wholesale were soon selling at 30 cents and some much higher. We used to sell a pair of shoes for 15 dozen of eggs before the war; now we get 30 dozen for a pair and sometimes more. Overalls sold at $1.00 the pair before the war or 'equal to 5 dozen of eggs; now at $2.75 we get about 10 dozen eggs. We also get shout 2 dozen eggs for one dozen of bananas. So we should not complain as we are managing to keep prices up fairly well, and we certainly get lots of eggs to eat, even if they are not quite as good a qual- ity as the farmers have on their tables. A SUBSCRIBER. WHY DO QUICKSANDS DRAW OBSTACLES DOWN? Everyone who has been to the sea- shore is familiar with the sensation which follows when one stands for some time on the wet sand, particu- larly that portion of it which is not tightly packed. At first the foot makes only a slight impression on the sand, Then, as the water com- mences to collect the person sinks down little by little until the feet are covered as far as the anleles and it takes a conscious effort to withdraw them from the casing of wet sand which surrounds them. • Practically the same thing oc- curs in what we call "quicksands" although here the action is far more rapid because the sand is 'more loosely packed and the weight of the water and the sand combine to ')roduce a sucking effect upon any - `fling which presses down upon :hem. A person who blunders into ne of the sands --+a sort of natural trap for the unwary—involuntarily presses down upon the sand under his feet in order to secure a pur- chase or a leverage. But the wet sand opens under him, almost with the rapidity of water, and he sinks further and furt'her,, apparently sucked in by the sands, but really falling through them by reason of hie own weight. Probably the most dangerous sands of this kind in the world are the famous Goodwin Shoals, off the coast of England, where an entire fleet of 13 warships was once lost through sail- ing upon the shoals and being en- gulfed by the sand before it could return to the open water. What Causes Gas On the Stomach? It is caused by fermenting, sour waste matter in the intestines. This old, foul matter should be thoroughly (-leaned out with simple buckthorn bark, glycerine, etc., as mixed in Ad- ler-i-ka. This acts on BOTH upper and lower bowel, removing old ac- cumulated matter you never thought was in your system. Adler-ika re- lieves ANY CASE gas on the stom- ach, EXCELLENT for sour stom- ach and chronic constipation. Guards against appendicitis. E. Umbach, Druggist. GAT MOST SENSITIVE ANIMAL The bat is declared by zoologists to be one of the most wonderful of all animals in its physical make-up, and there is strong reason to believe it has from one to three senses that no other animal and no human being has. 'Its wings are a mass of nerves and it is these that give it the ex- treme soft silky feeling as well as serving to create the nvost sensitive thing in nature. So delicate are these nerves and so responsive to air vi- brations, that a bat can be blinded and turned loose in a room where several objects are hanging from the ceiling by cords, and it -will fly about among them without touching any object, the nerves catching the 'feel' of the object as the bat draws near them. Naturalists, in experimenting with bats, have whirled a cane over their heads so rapidly that the cane ap- peared to be a misty funnel. On their heads they wore taps of vivid colors that bats dislike and would frequently fly at. The bats would rush at them until the whirling cane was reached and then d'art down', touch the cap, and fly away, passing between the orbit" of the cane without being touched, demonstrating a keen, ness of observation and delicaey of speed judgment ,unequaled by any other living animal. To make this the more unusual, the bat's eyes are dim and weak, and it depends almost entirely upon the sensitiveness of its wings. THE HEALTHY MAN HAS THE BEST CHANCE Is Always Full of Life and Energy —Failures Are Weak and Bloodless Some men seem to have all the luck. If there are any good things going these men seem to get then[. If they are business men they are successful; if they are workmen they get the foreman's job. They have the power of influencing people, The same is true of women. Some have the charm that makes m.en seek them out; others are neglected. But this is not luck. It is due to a personal gift—vitality. Men and women of this sort are never weak, puny invalids. They may not'be big, but they are full of life and energy, The whole thing is a matter of good blood, good nerves and good health. Everyone would wish to be like this and the qualities that make for vital- ity and energy are purely a matter of health. By building up the blood and nerves, sleeplessness, want of energy, weakness of the back, head- aches and the ineffectual sort of pre- sence which really comes from weak Hess can be trot rid of. Dr. Will- iams' Pink Pills have made many weal(, tired men, vigorous, and many pale dejected girls and women, rosy and attractive, by improving their blood and toning up their nerves. If you are weak, low-spirited or un- healthy, try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and note their bennficial effect. Ypu can get these pills through tiny medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Hot Weather Suggestions on the Care of Milk. It Is one of the anomalies of life that the sources of our greatest pleasures and greatest means of good, may also be sources of life's greatest pains and most harm, Milk is a case in point. Milk is the best source of life's greatest need—proper and sufficient food. It may also be a cause of the destruction of life, be- cause it may become the home or feeding ground of those death -deal- ing organisms which are now recog- nized as the cause of practically all deaths, except those due to accident or old age. Fortunately we have discovered comparatively simple methods of combating the effects of what are called pathogenic (disease -produc- ing) bacteria. These may he stated in a few short rules as follows: 1. Milk which is consumed in a raw condition must be drawn only from cows which are healthy. Milk given from cows which are sick, which are not "good -doers," and especially milk from cows with a cough, must be pasteurized. 2. As soon as the milk is drawn from the cow, It should be cooled to 50 degrees F. or lower, and be kept at that temperature until cousumed. This makes an unfavorable condition for the germs to grow in. 3. All palls, strainers, dippers, milk bottles, pitchers, etc., which come In contact with the milk, must be thoroughly washed and preferably steamed, or be rinsed after washing in a chloride solution, which has been found to be one of the best germicides. 4. Milk should not be exposed to the air any longer than absolutely necessary, as this seeds the milk with a fresh lot of germs. This means the keeping of milk iu a closed ves- sel and not in an open dish. 5. "Left over" milk from meals should not be put Into the general supply, as this causes the whole lot to spoil. 6. "Left over" milk from tho sick room should be pasteurized or de- stroyed, as it may spread disease. 7. Milk at all times and in all places should be kept clean and cool. --I1. N. Dean, G. A. College, Guelph. A regular supply of salt will be found helpful in promoting thrift in live stock. If pasture 1s provided for pigs, it will require less meal for a pound of gain. Mares previous to foaling will per- form a good deal of work if they are carefully handled and the result will be stronger foals than with idle Mares. To keep doors closed a spring has been invented that can be attached to almost any hinge witboat tools. eductions -We're They are Always Lower at' Special Sale of Children's Dresses Made of prints, gingham and chambrays; cleverly made in attractive styles, all nicely trimmed.
