De ducks got all the farmers' money that he had received when he sold his corn recently, and trying to ex- plain to a local banker the necessity of a loan to tide him over a lean period, the niceties of market prob- lems as faced by the farmer now were outlined. "But," said the banker, "I don't un- derstand why you should want to bor- row money when you have just ship- ped your corn; what did you do with the money?" "De ducks got it," replied the farmer. "What do you mean by de ducks?" "Well," explained the farmer, "I shipped the car to market and sold it for 52 cents. They de duck freight, that left 31 cents; de duck 1 cent commission, that left 30 cents; de duck elevator charges, that left 27 cents; de duck husking, that left 15 cents; de duck hauling, that left 5 cents; de duck the hired man's wages from that and you are a darned sight better farmer than I am if you tan find anything left." -Girl's Statement Will Help Seaforth Many women will profit by the fol- lowing statement of one of their sex: 'I was afraid to eat on account of stomach trouble.

There were twenty- two entries and the winner's are as follows: Bell Bros., Goderich town- ship, 90; Isaac Hetherington, Col- borne, 89; R. J. Glen, Colborne, 88; Thos. M. Snowden, Stanley, 87%; John Kernighan, Colborne 87; J.G.Schwanz, Goderich township, 86/.; Robt. And- rews, Goderich township, 82. Some otherwise very good fields were scored out on account of weeds. Mr. Berry stated that the fields examined com- pared favorably with those in any Other part of the province he had visited. =On Friday morning of last week �. the spirit of Mra, Francis Stalker, of Auburn, took its flight to the great beyofnd. Mrs. Stalker had been in failing health for some time, but was not supposed to be seriously ill until a few days before her death. She re- sided in Colborne township for a num- ber of years and later for eleven years in Hallett before moving to Morris, -where hensu'band died about twenty- six years ago. She leaves two daugh- ters -and five sons: Mrs. R. J. McGee, of East Wawanosh; Mrs. D. Geddes, of Londesboro; Robert, of Auburn; John and James in Manitoba; Dick- son, in East Wlawanosh, and William, of Woodstock. The funeral took place on Sunday afternoon from the home of her son-in-law, Mr. R. J. McGee,..a large number attending to pay the final tribate of respect. ----A quiet but very pretty wedding was solemnized in Smith's Hill Pres- b,yyterihn church, on Saturday, July 16th, when Minerva Elizabeth, only daughter of Mrs. Thomas MacPhee, of the 8th concession, Colborne town- ship, becarde the bride of Dr. Alex: Ernest Barnby, of Hamilton. The church was Beautifully decorated for , the occasion with ferns and sweet briar by girl friends of the bride. The ceremony was perfcrmed by the pastor, Rev. R. J. Rots. To- the strains of the Lahengrin wedding march play- ed by Miss Bessie Barnby, sister of the grown, the bride entered the church leaning on the arm of her brother, Mr, Gordon MacPhee. She was prettily gowned in pink silk and wore a bridal veil caught up with orange blossoms. She carried a bo- :;uet of sweetheart roses and sweet peas, and wore the groom's gift, a landsome string of pearls. Little 'ean Walter, cousin of the bride, at- :ired in a pink mull dress, with hat to match, and carrying a basket of sweet peas, performed the duties of flower girl. Mr. R. M. Youpg, on behalf of the congregation, presented the bride with a Bible, this being the first wedding performed in the church since its erection nearly fifty years ago. 1111E 11AD•A CRUSH They sat together upon the sofa.

In sooth, she was getting rather impatient, "Will the silly mutt never say any- thing?" she muttered to herself. More and more he looked like a bailed lobster. Finally even he could stand it no longer. He licked his dry lips and croaked: "Euphemia. Eu- phemia's heart went pitter patter. She leaned closer. "Yes, Herbert," she sighed. Her- bert swallowed. "Euphemia, there is something I -I must tell you, something • ." "Yes, Herbert?" encouragingly. "Something, Euphemia, that I do not think you have realized." Euphemia tried to look coquettish. She merely succeeded in looking cross eyed. "Are you quite sure I -haven't, Herbert?" "Then you know?" he gasped. "Know what?" she asked, coyly. "Th—that you're sitting on my straw hat."

(Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) Toward the end of the' summer, the amateur Sower grower often wonders, how the stock of geraniums in the flower border can be increased and preserved by some other means than by taking up the old plants in the autumn; the last named method not. having, perhaps, proved success - f ul in past seasons. By starting fair- ly early, toward the end of August. before cold chilly nights appear, a nicesupply of young plants, more ^specially of all kinds of geraniums of the flowering kind, or those hav- ing fragrant leaves, or even the bronze or silver leaved kinds, can be -had by starting cuttings or slips of these plants. First of all obtain a shallow box about three Inches deep, ten or twelve Inches wide, and from twelve to twenty-four inches in length; an empty haddie (fish) box will do very well. It should have some small holes bored through the bottom for drainage. Pack this box firmly with moist, clean, gritty sand; sand that will make good stone mor- • tar will do. Then take the terminal or, tdp part of the young growth of pints about four or Ove inches in length, each shoot or cutting having from four to six joints where leaves are produced. Make the base of the cutting just below one of these nodes 1 or leaf joints, making a clean cut with 'a shatp knife flat across. Cut off some -of the lower leaves, leaving two or three leaves at the top. Cut off all bloom buds and blossoms where possible. Make a hole or drill in the wet sand deep enough to set fully the length of stem of cuttings in the sand. Water them well once, and keep the sand moist until cut- tings are rooted, which should be iu five or six weeks' time. The box can be set out of doors in partial shade until the first week In September ' when they can be taken into the window. When cuttings have roots about an inch in length dig them carefully from the sand without In- juring tire roots and pot them singly into small 21h inch pots or set them about two inches apart in well drained shallow boxes ih a soil made up of one part sand, one part leaf mould, and about six parts of light loamy soil enriched with one part of dry pulverized cow manure from the pasture field. This last is one of the best possible fertilizers for soil for pot plants. Set the young plants in the window in a temperature of 60 to 70 degrees Fahr. an ordinary house temperature. Salvia, Agera- tum, Lady Washington Geraniums, Fuchsias, Ireaine, Lobelia and many other plants can be started from cut- tings in this way.—The late Wm. Hunt, O. A. College, Guelph. WHY DADDY'S CHANGED When Tommy Burns was goin' strong, and on all sides you heard his name, my dad said, "Son, the dope is wrong, compared with my time, he is tame." Said he, "they never used no mitts, and whacked each other with a will. The fights these days, they give me fits, the best all lack the old time skill." When Cleveland won the flag last year, and trounced the "Dodgers," easy too, my dad said, ' "Son, now listen here, (and heaved a . sigh, as fathers do!)..I know they're better thin the rest, but still they don't look good to me, in my tis, if they played 'heir best, they'd never get a game in three." But daddy, he is changed to dry, no more he boasts about the past, I've waited long, but let me say, I've got it on him gtod' at last, I saw him testin' home-made rye, and asked (it made my m.ther smile). If bygone days had ,beet so dry? I guess ':will hold him for a while. 1 FREQUENT HEADACHES. A Sure Sign That The Blood Is Watery and Impure. People with thin blood are much more subject to headaches than full- blooded persons, and the form of anae- mia that afflicts growing girls is al- most always accontipanied by head- aches, together with disturbance of the digestive organs. Whenever you have constant or re- curring headaches and pallor of the face, they show that the blood is thin and your efforts should be directed to- ward building up your blood. A fair" treatment with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills will do this effectively, and the rich, red blood made by these pills will remove the headache. More disturbances'to the health are caused by their blood than most peo- ple have any idea of. When your blood is improverished, the nerves suffer from lack of nourishment, and you may be troubled with insomnia, neuritis. neuralgia or sciatica. Mus - I des subiect to strain are under- nourished and you may havemuscular rheumatism or lumbago. If your blood is thin and you begin to show symptoms of any of these disorders, try building up the blood with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and as the blood is restored to its normal condition every symptom of the trouble will disappear. There are more people { who owe their present state of good health to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills than' to any other medicine, and most of them do not hesitate to say so. ' You can get Dr. Williams' Pink Pills through any dealer in medicine or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from the Dr. Williams' Medicine. Co., Brocliv'ille, Ont. Light Fail Pruning Is Safe. Light pruning in fall is permis- sible, but heavy pruning is dangerous and likely to result in serious dam- age from winter killing, especially if the succeeding winter is severe. The injury is caused by drying out of the cut area and may be prevented by covering all wounds of any size with a good covering of paint made from pure lead and oil. Do not use pre- pared paints, as these contain injur- ious benzine or turpentine dryers. To make an effective covering it will be necessary to give not less than two coats, because one coat will not pre- vent checking and drying of, green wood. Coal tar makes an excellent wound covering and is easily applied. This matter of covering wounds made in fall or early winter is fre- quently slighted by orchard men, but the writer has seen eiuch serious damage result from neglect of this precaution that he feels justified in warning fruit growers with regard to the practice. In experimental -trials In the College apple orchard, varie- ties so hardy as Duchess of Olden- burg, Wolf River, Snow and Scott's Winter have suffered very serious in- jury following November pruning with the cuts left unprotected. The wounds dry out around the edges and by spring the dead area is great- ly enlarged, frequently extending down the trunk or branch for a foot or more. The dead bark comes away later leaving a large dead area, detri- mental to the parts above and cer- tain also to decay later. It is not likely that injury would follow the cutting of branches below an inch In size unless many were removed and there probably would be no necessity for covering such wounds. All above this size, how- ever, should be thoroughly protected. —.i. W. Crow, O. A. College, Guelph. Barberry Hedge Spoiled Ten Crops. Hundreds and hundreds of in- stances can be cited to show that the common barberry is the most Im- portant factor in the spread of rust in northwest states. In a Govern- ment bulletin on rust and barberry, Dr. C. E. Stakman of Minnesota Uni- versity Farm relates the experience _ of a farmer at Crystal Bay, Lake Minnetonka, Minn., who had a bar- berry hedge of 635 bushes. He had tried to grow oats on his farm for ten years, but each year the black stem rust destroyed almost all the grain. Then one spring he destroyed .the hedge before the bushes had be- come rusted. Ten days before the harvest the field was examined thoroughly and no stem rust could be found. The yield and quality - proved to be excellent. It was the first time in ten years that a crop had been grown successfully on that farm. Every land owner should be- gin early In the spring to destroy ;the barberry for the protection of grain crops. An airplane ambulance built in England can carry four patients, a doctor, nurse and pilot.
