Miss Chandler has returned home, but Mrs. McLean intends stay- ing a while longer. FITTING CATTLE FOR SHOW The writer holds no brief to write +on this subject to experienced show- men. The showing of cattle is an art which they have long since nos• tered and could give unlimited advice on if they would but put pen to paper. The purpose of the writer is to touch on a few points which may be help- ful to beginners be they old or young, In the first place if you would top the class and the judge knows his business you must have the goods, consequently select closely. In the second place fitting, in so far as pro- per fleshing is concerned, takes time consequently preparatory feeding should extend over a period of a few months previous to the time of show- ing. This preparatory feeding canbe done on pasture in the ease of cattle that are out. • Taking for granted then that these . two factors have been taken care of the next step is to put the finishing • touches or "bloom" on the animal. To do this the animals should be stabled three to four weeks previous to the date of the show. During this time feed fairly liberally on suitable roughages such as good hay, green corn or other soiling crops, and a grain mixture containing ten to fifteen per cent. oil cake meal, the latter being ideal to put a good glossy skin on the animals. All animals should now be washed, pat'ticularly if white in color. Stand the animals on some good washing platform and wet them all over. Then rub uip a lather with soap preferably some mild soft var- €ety. Scrub with suitable brush un- bii clean, then rinse soap off thor- oughly as any left in the hair will tend to stain it yellow. In the case of white animals a particularly clear white color can be obtained by alpply- ing bueing water after the last rins- ing this water being 'allowed to re- main in the hair for a time before being pressed out. The animals should now be blanketed with light blankets, preferably with a soft fin- ish next the body. Any work nec- essary to get animals in proper shape such as trimming feet, filing horns_ smooth so as to make later polishing easy' and trimming hair with clippers in those breeds where this practice is followed, shouldbe done before leav- ing for the show. Special attention should -be .laid upon the proper train- ing of the animal to lead, stand, etc., for often all the work of good fitting is offset by bad manners in the ring. Having arrived at ,the show grounds the first endeavour of the showman should be to Make hie charges feel at '"home, comfortable and well fed. This can be accomplished to, a cer- tain extent by a ,ration of home-gnawn feeds brought along for the purpose ea well as by 'liberal ' bedding, good NEWEST NOTES OF SCIENCE Bulgaria mined more coal last year than in any previous year except 1917 The Brazilian government 'will manufacture quinine and distribute it through malarial sections of the; country.

Conditions and Sights +Such as Would Make an Occidental Samaritan Faint, Though Inhabitants Placidly Endure Them. -r--- We stopped for two days -at Adana, the scene of the great. .massacres of 1009, when more than twenty thousand Armenians were murdered, and where again In MI5 many thousands were de- ported and many slain. Adana Is 100 feet above the sea and we had been at 7,000 feet a few hours earlier,. so that the heat appeared to be torrid, writes Maj, Gen. James G. 13arbord in the World's Work. Adana is the principal city of 011i- cia, a vast alluvial plain, one of the moatfertile regions In the world. Its heat in the dry season is terrific: The spll Is as flue and frapatpable as flour and a dug trotting down the street raises enough dust to hide a motorcar. What a motorcar does to a pedestrian can he guessed. Near the station a group of peasants were making roof tiles In the eume manner in which thdy were made thou- sands of years ago. The houses have flat roofs, and people sleep on them at night as they did In Biblical times. The market and bazar street of Adana Is typical of Itfe in the East. Every sight, sound and smell seems repre- sented there. The streets are crooked and vary frontfifteen to thirty feet in width. The shops on either side open broadly to the street, and the wares are dlspla,,ed under conditions thgt would irinke 'ori occidental sanitarian faint, Down the street enures a dilapidated victoria of the early 'Ms with a small team whipped by a wild -looking Turk.

An Armenian of the French oriental legion strolls along with a su- perior hit, A small boy peddling lemonade made of limes and carried on his track in a very dirty jar with a long spout curv- ing over his shoulder tries to sell the Americans a drink. His glasses are carried In a a small mak worn around his waist, and are not cleaned between drinks, not much at any time. His transactions are not usually for cash. At an open shop he delivers a drink, takes a piece of chalk from behind his ear, steps inside and on the wall be- side eight other tallies makes a mark indicating a sale, and passes on.

For example, anaemic people often endure months of suffering while treating its symptoms, such as indigestion, shortness of breath, pal- pitation of the heart and exhaustion after any small effort. The apparent stomach and heart troubles are general13' nothing more than the result of an insufficient sup- ply of ,pure blood. This anaemic state may have followed some pre- vious illness, or an attack of influ- enza; or it may have arisen from I overwork, worry or too .little fresh air. To obtain good health the sim- ple and proper course is to build up the blood, but to do this you must select a reliable remedy with a repu- tation such as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. These (pills enrich the blood which carries nourishment to all the organs of the body and enables therm to do the w ork nature expects of them. Thousands of men and women have proved this for themselves. One of these is Mrs. T. Flynn, R. R. No, 1, Eritisville, Ont., who says: "Last spring I got into a badly run down condition. I had no, energy; work left me exhausted, and the least ex- ertion would make my heart palpi- tate violently. I had often read of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and derided to give them a trial and got a half dozen boxes. I had ,not been taking the pills long when I felt a decided improvement in my condition and by ' the titres I had used the six boxes I could do my housework with ease, I can strongly recommend Dr. Wil- 1 liams' Pink Pills to all weak people.' You can get these pills through any dealer in medicine, or by mail post- paid at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 fro The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brookville, Ont. e • To Cali the Roll Over Again.
