Are people are familiar, to some ex-
nt, with the microscope than with
the microphone. They know it is
possible to make objects eutirely out -
elide of the range of natural vision
visible ky the use of the minute
things close by; but few have any
knowledge of the device by which it
in_- possible to hear a fly walk or a
caterpillar crawl.
Many other wonders of science
were shown at the exhibition, but
neither there nor anywhere else. has
science demonstrated its ability to
help the see of smell. It can do
marvels for sight, hearing and touch,
but not for the humble and useful
hose. In that field the accomplish-
ments of science have been nil.
Let a man stand two miles to
windward oft e
point oint where a herd
of caribou will cross an open plain
over which a fresh breeze is sweeping
and it must be apparent that only an
infinitely minute particle of whatever
matter may be given off by his body
or clothing can possibly reac,h the
nostrils of any one deer in the herd.
Yet, if the man is completely screen-
ed from eight b.: a rise in the sur-
face of the ground the caribou will,
nevertheless, catch the taint in the
air. They would be warned of the
presence of a wolf in the same way.
Yet sicience is utterly unable to de-
tect anything which the olfactory
nerve of the deer senses and identi-
fies. It cannot see with a microscope
anything in the air which came from
the man. It cannot find any such
substance with a chemical test of any
kind. Instead of aiding the sense of
. smell, it is entirely incapable of
matching it. Here is another realm
for science to invade and subdue.

EFFECT OF LIGHT ON MILK AND
CREAM
It is well known that sunlight has
a harmful effect upon butter. Under
its influence the fat becomes tallowy
both in appearance and taste. In an
interesting research carried out by
Hammer and Cordes at the Iowa Ag-
ricultural College, it was found that
a similar effect was produced upon

d.
d
tioinewhat al la change hs took
nge
.'glao under similar conditions in
other dairy products, such as ice-
cream, evaporated milk, skim milk
and starters. It was found that these
abnormal changes could be prevented
in milk. and cream by using brown
bottles as Containers.
But another interesting fact was
observed. In comparing the bacterial
population in milk, or cream stored
in brown bottles and in bottles of
clear glass, the number was always
greater in the brown and so was the
acidity. This was due to the inhibit-
ing effect of light upon bacterial de-
velopment. The light exposed sam-
ples were so altered in character that
they presented a chalky, dead white
appearance. This change did pot oc-
cur in the brown bottles; the con-
tents in these, in every case, had a
richer color.
Another peculiar point was that in
the case of milk the influence of light
on flavor was greater in milk of a
low content than in one richer in fat.
The results seemed to also show that
air had some influence upon the de-
velopment of tallowness. In certain
samples of milk an "off" flavor was
induced in a surprisingly short per-
iod of time -exposure to direct sun-
light—after ten minutes, in feet,
while slight tallowness developed
within an hour. In some cases of
milk and cream the tallowness slight-
ly decreased in intensity upon cold
storage, while in other cases it still
retained the tallowy flavor.
It follows from these results that
care should be taken to screen any
milk or cream of good flavor from
the influence of sunlight, especially
if it is open to the air, as the com-
bined influence is harmful to quality.
DEAD ON THE NEST
An English authority speaking un
this subject says:—"My attention has
been called to a number of recent
instances of hens dying on the nest
or dropping down dead in the yard.
In most cases this was due to over-
feeding, or feeding on too -fattening
foods, such as maize or potatoes.
Soft-shelled or shelless eggs are fre-
quently the first apparent symptoms.
though even these signs are often
preceded by the laying of double -
yolked eggs. Fat has accumulated
internally. The oviduct is compress-
ed by the fatty formation. A yolk
is passed in and reaches the point of
obstruction. The inconvenience to
the hen is not great, and so for a
time it remains stationary. A second
yolk follows and joins up with the
first. Inconvenience to the hen is in-
creased; an endeavor is made—to pass
by the obstruction, which, if success-
ful, results in two yolks being en-
closed in one casing. If the internal
accumulation of fat is great, the
secreting glands of the oviduct are
hampered and disorganized and are
unable to properly supply all neces-
sary materials, and a soft-shelled egg
results. Or it may be—as is fre-
quently the case—that the accumula-
tion of internal fat has been rapid, a
yolk has been fully clothed before ob-
struction or disorganization is met
with. Or the accumulation may be
such as to obstruct the entrance to
the oviduct. Great straining takes
place, the bird's comb and face may
be seen at such times to be purple
in color; the sac of a yolk is broken,
the contents spilt and mortification
set in; or the strain was so great
that the heart is ruptured and the bird
drops dead. In att cases of soft-
shelled eggs, or double -yolked ones,
stop giving corn or potatoes or any
other fattening food. Administer two
or three pinches of Epsom salts, and
repeat dose in three days' time; give
but one handful of hard grain (no
meal) per diem for the next ten days,
and feed more sparingly in the fu-
ture than you have been in the habit
of doing in the past."
POSSESSION OF CANADA: BANK
RATES: CABINET MINISTERS
I would like the three following
: answered tons Itna eyed in the columns of
questions
newspapers: (1) What more or
better right had England to wrest
this country from France than Ger-
many had to attack France in she
late war? (2) 'Why is it that our
Canadian banks have to have from
four to five per cent. to do business
on. when the banks of New York
State only takes two --all the law
allows them? (3) Please give us
the names of the Federal Cabinet
ministers, and the salaries of each
one.
Ans.—(1) In olden times the pos-
session of territories was decided ac-
cording to the principle that "might
makes right." The recent European
war was fought by Britain and
France both to controvert that theory.
The many Continental wars between
these countries centuries ago, how-
ever, made young Canada little else
than a pawn in the military game.
(2) The Savings Bank interest in
Canada is 31/2 per cent. and the rate
charged nn discounts is 7 per cent.,
which allows the bank a margin of
31/2 per cent. In New York the Sav-
ings Bank interest is 4 per cent. and
the maximum rate 6 per cent. In
some States the rate allowed is high-
er (12 per cent. in Nevada). New
York has legalized any rate of in-
terest on call loans of $5,000 or up-
ward, on collateral security. It
should also be noted that the New
York banks give discounts only in
proportion to the amount of the aver-
age daily cash balance, with no in-
terest on the cash balance itself.
There are other means by which the
hanks indirectly can obtain a larger
rate than the amount nominally
charged.

to .>Iaeot us, Aunt Ole irt
asked, her voice befra ng her p „
zloty. She had relieved the old lade
of her cloak now, and had passed opp
arm around her slender waist,
"No, he doesn't seem, to be, dearke.
Tired, of course -,-.and it may keep
him in bed a day or two longer, but
it wept make any difference in his
getting well. He will be out in a
week or so."
Ruth paused for a moment and
then asked in a hesitating way, all
her sympathy in her eyes:
"And I don't suppose there is any-
body to look after him, is there?"
"Ob, yes, plenty; Mrs. Hicks seems
a kind, motherly person, and then
Mr. Bolton's sister runs in and out."
It was marvellous how little interest
the dear woman took in the condi-
tion of the patient. Again the girl
paused. She was sorry now she had
not braved everything and gone with
her.
"And did he send me any message,
aunty?" Thin_ came quite es a mat -
.ter of form,—merely to learn all the
details.
"Oh, yes,—I forgot: he told me to
tell you how glad he was to hear
your father was getting well," re-
plied Miss Felicia searching the
mantel for a book she had placed
there.
Ruth bit her lips and a certain
dull feeling crept about her heart.
Jack, with his broken arm and bruis-
ed head rose before her. Then an-
other figure supplanted it.
"And what sort of a gird is that
Miss Bolton?" There was no curt
osity—merely for information. Uncle
Peter was so full of her brother and
how badly he had been hurt he hard-
ly mentioned her name."
"I did not see her very well; she
was just coming out of her .brother's
room, and the hall was dark. Oh,
here's my book—I knew I had left
it here."
"Pretty?" continued Ruth, in a
slightly anxious tone.
"No,—I should say not," replied
the old lady; moving to the door.
"Then you don't think there is any,
thing I can do?" Ruth called after
her.
!
"Not now."
Ruth picked up Miss Felicia's wrap
from the chair whereat that lady had
thrown it, mounted the stairs, peered
from between the pots of geraniums
screening a . view of the street with
the Hicks Hotel dominating one cor-
ner, wondered which window along
the desolate front gave Jack light
and air, and with whispered instruc-
tions to the nurse to be sure and let
her know when her father awoke,
shut herself in her room.
As for the horrible old ogre who
had made all the trouble, nipping off
buds, skewering butterflies and
, otherwise disporting herself after
the manner of busybodies who are
eternally and forever poking their
thin, pointed noses into what doesn't
concern them, no hot, scalding tears,
the Scribe regrets to say, dimmed
her knowing eyes, nor did any un -
,bidden sigh leap from her old heart
RUN DOWN PEOPLE
WEAK AND NERVOUS
Thousands in This Condition Can
Easily Help Themselves.
There are thousands of people who
bear the pain and discomfort of minor
ills in the hope that the indisposition
is only temporary and will be out-
grown in time. Often such illnesses
are not serious enough to require the
attention of a doctor, but will re-
spond to intelligent home treatment
if a reliable remedy is used. Women
busy with a multitude of household
cares, young women in offices or
stores, or girls studying hard in
school, easily fall a prey to that con-
dition of bloodlessness known as an-
aemia. The trouble need not be seri-
ous if prompt measures are takes to
check it in its early stages. Dr, Wil-
liams' Pink Pills will restore the ele-
ments needed to bring the blood back
to strength, and once the blood re-
gains its healthy quality the entire
body will soon show the benefit.
Among the many who have found
benefit through the use of Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills is Mrs. Albert W.
Smith, Miscouche, P. E. i., who says:
"1 was very much broken &town in
health, had pains in the regions of my
heart, and was so short of breath that
if I went upstairs i would have to
lie down as soon as I reached the top.
Then a strange nervous twitching of
the muscles took possession of me,
and every muscle in my body would
apparently be twitching. I became
very emaciated, and my family were
much alarmed as to my condition. At
this time I read an article in our
home paper concerning Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills and decided to give them
a trial. The result was that in a
short time I felt much improved, and
under further use of the pills I felt
like a new woman, had gained in
weight and was in every way better.
I would urge anyone afflicted as I was
to give Dr. Williams' Ping Pills a
trial."
You can get these pills through any
medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cts.

WHEN LAVE HATCHING PAYS
The old-time advice usually given
with regard to the rearing of chick-
ens was to hatch them early, as late
hatched chicks were often not worth
the time and labor spent on them.
But things and times have changed
and a chicken is worth money now,
any day in the year. There is now
a steady increase in the number of
farmers and others who set eggs to
hatch in late July and August, with
fair prospects of profit. Eggs and
broody hens are plentiful, and the
hens are given as many as fifteen
eggs to hatch, without fear of any
getting chilled. The percentage of
fertility is high in summer, and 12
to 15 chicks may result from a single
sitting.
In such favorable circumstances it
is not surprising that there should he
strong temptation to hatch large
numbers of chickens.
When the poultry -keeper has a good
retail connection and a demand for
genuine young plump chicks, so far
as possible all the year round it is
good policy to hatch a few chicks in
consecutive months right through the
summer. Customers who are keen on
obtaining good fowls for roasting
and boiling will know how difficult it
is to get regularly and reliably serv-
ed and be willing to pay the rearer
a sufficiently high price to compen-
sate for the extra expense of rear
ing in the difficult seasons. It also
pays to hatch a few fowls of the light
non -sitting breeds in late summer.
These may be depended upon to lay
during the following spring and
through the summer, when the earlier
hatched hens would be in need of a
rest if they had Iaid freely during
winter and early spring. Poultry -
keepers having a retail connection
understand the necessity for keeping
up a supply of eggs all the year
round, and in this work late hatched
pullets will prove helpful. In either
of the circumstances described late
hatching may he considered feasible,
at least, and is quite a differspt thing
from hatching scores of cMcks with
no particular object and no definite
market in view.

• When silo allies le to be dons
quickly, that la, one hundred or more
tone of fodder cut per day, the cutter
and the power must be In keeping
with the work at hand. An eighteen
horse -power engine or motor and a
fourteen -inch blower cutter will
handle one hundred tons per day.
Where smaller silos are used and the
farmer desires to, or has to, dathe
work largely with the farm help,
small cutters can be used. Eight -inch
cutters will handle three tons per
hour if driven by an engine of not
less than eight horse -power.
Have Sufficient Horse -power ter
Gutting.
Claims are often made that two or
three horse -power outfits can do
effective work, but this le a mistake.
11 the work 1s to be done quickly
and effectively with the best use of
labor the power should be ample, 1f
it Is desired to cut forty tons per day
the power should be not less than
eight bores. Sixty tons per day the
power should be twelve horse. One
hundred tone per day will require an
eighteen horse -power engine. The
cutter should be of the proper else
for the power used. Carrier cutters
do not require as much power as do
the blower cutters. but the advan-
tage of easter erection, simplicity and
ease of wetting the fodder through
the use of the blower offsets she In-
creased power requirement. Cylinder
and knife on fly -wheel types of ma-
chines are equally satistact*ry pro-
viding of course that they are equally
wdl built. Low priced, poorly con-
structed fodder cutters are danger-
ous. Select a cutter with a good
reputation, and vie that Is as well
built as a good steam engine is built.
Moisture Content Important.
It le essential that there should be
sufficient moisture present in the
fodder at the time it is being put
into the silo to provide the water
requirement for the ensiling process
and leave the surplus necessary to
have amply moist well made silage,
after the fermentative and cooling
processes have taken place. With suf-
ficient moisture present 1n the ensiled
mase there is little tf'anger of the
fermentation temperatures running
too high, the greater the amount of
water present the firmer the cut fod-
der will pack and the smaller the
spaces for air. Corn In the early
b,azed or denting stage, oats, peas
or vltch green enough for high grade
hay making carry syfcient water In
the natural juices ib- meet the re-
quirement for ensilage. Frequently
itis necessary to use corn, oats, peas
or sunflowers that have suffered from
drouth, or have dried through de-
lays or have been permitted to remain
unharvested until long past the best
condition for silage making. If so,
the shortage of plant juices can be
made up by the application of water
in quantity sufficient to thoroughly
wet the fodder.
How to Apply the Extra Moisture.
Water is best applied by running a
stream directly into the fodder cut-
ter
ubter while the fodder is being passed
through and blown up into the silo.
With water under pressure, a valve
to control the flow and a section of
garden hose the process of wetting
the cut fodder la easily accomplished.
Corn fodder that has remained in the
field until Deember and become quite
dry can be successfully ensiled If sof-
flcient attention is paid to wetting ,
and packing thoroughly In the silo.
The wetting must be complete and all
the air possible pressed out by tramp- ',
ing the evenly spread cut fodder as
it goes into the silo. With red clover,
alfalfa, peas, oats, vetch, rye, :tweet
clover, mustard, grasses, sunflower, 1
corn or artichoke stalks, there 1s
little likelihood of overdoing the
wetting if a stave silo is used, since
such a structure permits any surplus
moisture to drain away. With water
tight cement concrete or tile silos a
little judgment is required in deter-
mining the amount of water required
to give complete saturation but not
flooding. For further information re-
garding silo building and ensilage
apply to the Department for a copy
of Bulletin 287.—L. Stevenson, See.
Dept. of Agriculture, Toronto. i
Mustard.
Fields that are heavily infested
with mustard can frequently be turn-
ed to good account by using such
areas for the production of silage
fodders. The sowing of peas and oats
In the proportion of one bushel of
oats to one bushel of peas per acre
(the mustard will come volunteer),
will make a very acceptable silage.
Mustard has a high feeding value,
and the seed In the soil can be ex-
hausted In time by following the
practice of using mustard Infested
lands for silage crops, cutting the
entire mass, cereal, legume and weeds
and putting all in the silo In a finely
cut and packed condition.

Peter
(Continued from page 7)
in the splash of an overturned bowl;
a calm survey up and down; a taking
in of the dry and wet spots; a care-
ful gathering up of her skirts, and
over skimmed the slender, willowy
old lady with a one—two--and three
—followed by a stamp of her ab-
surd feet and the shaking out of
ruffle and pleat. When a woman
strides through mud without a shiver
because she has plenty of dry shoes
and good ones at home, there are
other parts of her make-up, inside
and out, that may•want a looking
after.
Miss Felicia safely landed on the
dry and comparatively clean side-
walk, Peter put the question he had
been framing in his mind since he
first caught sight of that lady pick-
ing her way among the puddles.
"Well, how is he now?"
"His head, or his heart?" she asked
with a knowing smile, dropping her
still spotless skirts. "Both are brok-
en; the last into smithereens. It is
hopeless. He will never be any bet-
ter. Oh, Peter, what a mess you
have made of things!"
"What have I done?" he laughed.
"Got these two people dead in love
with each other,—.both of them—Ruth
is just as bad --and no more chance
of their ever being married than you
or I. .Perfectly silly, Peter, and I
have always told you so—and now
you will have to take the conse-
quences."-
"Beautiful — beautiful!" chuckled
Peter; "everything is coming my way.
I was sure of Jack, for he told me
so, but Ruth puzzled me. Did she
tell you she loved him?"
"No, stupid, of course she did not.
But have I not a pair of eyes in my
head? What do you suppose 1 got
up for this morning at such an un-
earthly hour and went over to— Oh,
such an awful place!—to see that
idiot? Just to tell him I was sorry?
Not a bit of it! I went to find out
what was going on, and now I know;
and what is to become of it all no-
body can tell. Here is her father
with every penny he has in the
world in this work—so Holker tells
me—and here are a lot of damages
for dead men and Heaven }knows
what else; and there is Jack Breen
with not a penny to his name except
his month's wages; and here is Ruth
who can marry anybody she chooses,
bewitched by that boy—and I grant
you she has every reason for he is
as brave as he can be, and what is
better he is a gentleman. And there
lies Henry MacFarlane blind as a
bat as to what is going on! Oh!—
really, Peter, there cannot be any-
thing more absurd."
During the outbreak Peter stood
leaning on his umbi'ella,a smile play-
ing over his smooth -shaven face, his
eyes snapping as if at some inward-
ly - sin res
pp sed fun. ')?!tele were the
kind of outbursts Peter loved. It
was only when Felicia was about to
come over to your way of thinking
that she talked like this. It was her
way of hearing the other side.
"Dreadful! — Dreadful!" sighed
Peter, looking the picture of woe.
"Love in a garret—everybody in
rags,—one meal a day—awful situ-
ation! Something's got to be done
at once. I'll begin by taking up a
collection this very day. In the
meantime, Felicia, I'll just keep on
to Jack's and see how his itrm's get-
ting on and his head. As to his
heart,—I'll talk to Ruth and see—"
"Are you crazy, Peter? You will
do nothing of the kind. If you do, I
will—"
But Peter, his hat in the air, was
now out of hearing. When he reach-
ed the mud line he turned, drew his
umbrella as if from an imaginary
scabbard, made a military salute,
and, with a suppressed gurgle in his
throat, kept on to Jack's room.
Somehow the sunshine had crept
into the old fellow's veins this morn-
ing. None of Miss Felicia's pins for
him!
Ruth, 'from her place by the sit-
ting -room window, had seen the two
talking and had opened the front
door before Miss Felicia's hand touch-
ed the bell. She had already sub-
jected Peter to a running fire of
questions while he was taking his
coffee and thus had the latest intelli-
gence down to the moment when
Peter turned low Jack's light and
