In the Provinces of Ontario and Quebec they are numer- nue and within a few hours' travel of your home. The excitement of the chase is wonderfully fascinating, and in addition, a week or two in the woods furnishee the finest kind ofa' vacation. Abundance of moose, deer, bear and game birds are to be obtain- ed with a minimum of effort and ex- pense. Apply to nearest Canadian National -Grand Trunk Agent for hunting literature, or write I. K.

Bail, wind, drouths and floods may come, destroy our 'crops and banish our hopes but from what is left the cow manufactures into the most nourishing 'and life-sustaining foods,•and is she not foster mother and hfe itself to countless thousands of little children all over this world of ours? We love her for her docil- ity, her beauty, and should misfor- tune overtake us as we become bow- ed down with the weight of years, we know that in the cow we have a friend that was nester known to fal- ter. She pays the debt. She saves the home. God bless the cow—little do we realize the debt we owe her. • A FARMER'S STRANGE PLIGHT HURON NOTES Some of us can appreciate the pre- dicament of the farmer who appealed to the town authorities for help in getting his cows to and from pasture. To reach the pasture the stock must cross the main thoroughfare between Boston and Providence. So dense and continuous is the automobile traffic and so indifferent is it to any rights of the farmer, that the problem thus far baffles solution. Here is a dif- ficult and hazardous feat for the in- dividual to perform with all his wit sand swiftness, precaution and bold- ness. What, then, are the chances for dumb, driven cattle? It seems to be a remarkable situation, one in which they are several horns to a dilemma. HEALTHY CHILDREN ALWAYS SLEEP WELL The healthy child sleep wells and during its waking hours is never cross but always happy and laughing. Itis only the sickly child that is cross and peevish. Mothers, if your children do not sleep well; if they are cross and cry a great deal, give them Baby's Own Tablets and t will soon be well and happy ag The Tablets are a mild but th ough laxative which regulate the bowels, sweeten the stomachs banish constipation, colic and indigestion, and promote health- ful sleep. They are absolutely guar- anteed free from opiates and may be given to the new-born babe with per- fect safety. They are sold by medi- cine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. 'TRIBUTE TO THE COW -Little do we realize the debt we ewe the cow. During the dark ages of savagery and barbarism we find her early ancestors natives of the wild forests of the old world. As the bright rays of civilization penetrated the darkness of that early period, and man called upon the cow, she came forth- from her seclusion to share in the efforts that gave us a greater nation and more enlightened people! For twenty thousand years she has shown her allegiance to man,sharing alike in his prosperity and adversity, responding nobly to all that was done for her, until through her develop- ment she became an idol of the peo-- pie of her native country. When Columbus made his second voyage to America, the cow came with him, and from that time to the Pres- ant day she has been a most potent factor in making this, our own coun- try, the greatest nation, with the highest type of womanhood history has ever known! Her sons helped till the soil of our ancestors and slowly moved the pro- ducts of the farm to market. They went with man to the dense forests of the new world, helped clear them for homes and made cultivationpos- sible for the coming generatio, and when the tide of emigration turned westward they hauled the belongings of the pioneer across the sun-scoroh- ed plains and over the great mous- —Mr. Robert Hamilton, a farmer living a few miles west of Blyth, was the victim of a serious accident seine days ago when ho slipped from the roof cf his barn as 'he was making some repairs and fell: to the grcund He was taken up unconscious and it is believed his spine has been injur- ed. —While driving along the Huron Road on Tuesday, Miss Bessie Osbal- deston, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Osbaldeston, of Goderich township, was run into by the Strat- ford-Goderich bus, which was coming east. Miss Osbaldeston was turning into T. R. Jenkins' gate and she says the driver of the bus didn't blow his horn at all and she wasn't aware that it was behind her until it bump- ed into her buggy, upsetting it and throwing her out. Fortunately she was not badly injured. The buggy was smashed and the horse broke loose and ran away, not being stopped until it was going up Vinegar Hill, Clinton. The bus ran into a telegraph post after knocking Miss Osbaldeston over and it is said the driver was in a very bad humour about the whole thing. The parents of the young lady are very thankful that no more ser- ious damage was done. - --The Goderich Star of last week says: A stroll through the apple or- chard of Mr. Kenneth Cameron, West Wawanosh, was one of the pleasures experienced by the Star man while in that neighborhood recently. That nine acres of well -pruned and plenti- fully -sprayed apple trees have for a number of years been an outstand- ing feature of 'this part of Ontario, wide avenues between the rows, giv- ing ample air space. Most of the trees are so heavily laden that Mr. Cameron has had to place about one thousand props under the limbs. The fruit is full sized, despite the heavy bearing, is remarkably clean, and coloring well. It is expected there will be about one thousand barrels of choice fruit. The various varie- ties are in rows, and to see the laden branches, in many cases hanging so low as to touch the grass -covered ground, was certainly a treat. LATENT LIFE IS BEING NEITHER ALIVE NOR DEAD To the ,ordinary person nothing seems eaier than to be able to dis- tinguish between life and death, or to be less abstract, between a living animal and a dead one, writes Prof. D. F. Harris in the Scientific Month- ly. A child can tell a dead tree in the woods when it sees one. A per- son naturally thinks of the entire organism as alive, the signs of its life being that it is warns, that it breathes, that its heart beats and that it is aware of its surroundings, all of which is in sharp contrast with the cold, still, unconscious corpse in which the beating of the heart has ceased forever. Sometimes vegetables and animals can enter into a- certain state in which, although they are not show- ing any of the ordinary signs of life, they are nevertheless not dead; this state is called latent life. A dried seed is a good example of this condition; it seems dead, but the ordinary person can ascertain whether or not it is dead by planting it in the ground and waiting until it has or has not produced a plant. If it produces a plant it was alive, but we have lost our seed, although we have gained a plant. But it seems that even animal or- ganisms con enter into latent life. Ever since 1719 we have known this, for the Dutch naturalist Leeuwen- hoek, found minute animals called rotifers dried up in mud apparently dead but able to live again when moistened with water. This rising as it were from the dead, is called anabiosis. Besides the Rotifera, or wheel -animalcules, other minute animals the tardigrada, or bear animalcules, the Anguillulidae. or paste -eels, and some kinds of thread worms are all known to be able to survive extreihe degrees of desiccation for ala long as twelve years. These- animals are in a state very closely resembling death, but it is not death, for it can be recovered from. Death is the permanent , im- possibility of living again; it is an irreversible state, which latent life is not.

Physiologists know.that snails; water,beetlee, insects; frogs and 'fish don withethnditemperaturee so low that worm-bleeded' animals world be killed outright. A fish has been frozen in a block of ice,. then sawed in halt along with -the tee and each • half has on being melted, per- formed active movements. The lone° (Pediculus)' has been known to be alive after no fewer than seven days submersion in freezing water. The frog is an ani- mal that can withstand being frozen without being killed. It is possible to exhibit at the beginning of a lecture on physiology a frog frozen so stiff that it can be held out hori- zontally by the toes like a piece of board and yet, on allowing the' frog to thaw, to show that it can skip about before the end of the hour like any other healthy animal. When we come to the warm- blooded animals, we find that, as might be expected, they cannot with- stand anything like the extreme de- grees of drying and chilling which the more lowly and hardy animals are able to endue. Nevertheless, tissue changes can become so de- ; pressed in some of the warm-blooded animals that a state of virtually ' latent life can be entered upon. Such a condition is seen in the hiberna- tion or winter sleep of bears, tor- toises, hedgehogs, dormice and mar- mosets. On the approach of win- ter these animals, having already laid on a large store of fat, retire into some place of shelter and, ceas- ing to breathe, go into a deep sleep until the spring. The amount of oxygen they consume is the irredu- cible minimum, the heat they evolve is very small; they live on their own body -fat and other tissues, for of course they eat no food at all. When they emerge next year they are ex- tremely thin. We .learn from these cases of hibernation that even after breathing ceases, the animal may yet live; but it may surprise some read- ers to learn that even after the heart has ceased beating the organism does not necessarily die all at once. It may be now asked, can a human being enter into the state of latent life? The answer is "yes," but in so replying vee must recollect the kind of suspended animation which is combatible with the delicate proto- plasmic structure and . the compli- cated chemical behavior of human. tissues. No mammal, no human be- ing can be dried up or frozen stiff like some of the lowlier creatures and yet live. What we may admit is that life in man can be retained when all the vital processes have sunk to a minimum. What is known as trance, or nar- colepsy is the form which latent life takes in the human being. Every now and again we hear of cases of persons, usually young women, going into profound and prolonged sleep, from which they do not awake for weeks or months. During that time they take no food, they scarcely breathe, their heart's action is at a minimum. ,}It19A .h devl:st�j 11 ma�tiie stra ��£ieaf t ,; ; the ttiate•"xheat< }it and to the occupir is noels.'

On 'the other great` problem 'of re- vived Turkey, the national and racial minorities, Kemal Proposes a recip- rocal exchange. Vtristian minori- ties in Asia Minor' are to be shipped ' over to Europe in exchange for Turks exported from Macedonia to Anato- ' lia. Some such ,great operation seems the only way to end the in- curable hostilities of races and creeds, which are only embittered by the temporary triumph of one side ' or the other. It was discussed be- tween Greece and Bulgarja just be- fore the war broke out, and at that time Venizelos placed great hope ie its efficacy for the amelioration of Balkan problems. The difficulties are, however, almost insuperable : the forcible removal of peasant popu- lations, tenacious of the soil where their ancestors have lived for many centuries; their settlement in new countries where land must be found with great difficulty and often con- sidered expense; above all, disputes as to the claims of this or that race on a given territory, which can be evaded only by accepting the $rinciple of utipossidetis. And this the nation which has just lost the last war, but hopes to win the next one, will never admit. Kem- al, for instance, will admit only the Turks of Macedonia as material for exchange. Those in Thrace must stay where they are. How the Greek population of Thrace is to be dealt with he does not say; possibly the example of Pontus will he followed. In fact, the problems ahead of the new Government in Turkey are so difficult that the best statesmen in the world might well be reluctant to Meet them; and there are no very good statesmen in Turkey. Kemal has shown that he is an organizer of victory; some of the members of the Cabinet and leaders in the As- sembly have modern ideas. though they have shown as yet little ability to carry them out. But the great mass of the Turks remains what it has always been; the fate of Smyrna suggests that the good intentions of the leaders are of less importance than the stubborn fanaticism of the average Tur.k. WHAT KEMAL WANTS AND IS LIKELY TO GET Whatever may happen to Thrace, Nationalist Turkey is pretty sure to hold all of Anatolia and probably Constantinople. Nationalist Turkey means, virtually, Mustapha Kemal Pasha, says the New York Times. The popular movement could hardly have been successful without his determin- ed leadership, and though there was much personal and political opposi- tion±in the early days, which he had to suppress with a strong hand, this ought to disappear after the bril- liant successes of the past few weeks. A gentleman who can scare. Sultans and Viziers 'into abdication by a mere wave of the hand is not likely to be troubled by less important an- tagonists. Last Monday week a correspondent of the Chicago Tribune talked to Kemal at Smyrna, and obtained a fuller exposition of his views on some of the immediate problems confront- ing Turkey than has yet been offered. On the question of the freedom of the Straits Kemal spoke with great moderation. He was willing, apparently to promise that there would be no for- tifications in the Dardanelles. To prevent the possibility that other fleets than the British might sieze the Straits he was ready to make an agreement which virtually gave the British Admiralty the right of veto on even the peacefpl admission of foreign warships. He consented to a mixed commission of control, but objected to the presence of foreign armed forces. This is reasonable, but he expects in return that the safety of Constantinople from at- tack be guaranteed by "the interest- ed Powers," and that any State which might violate the agreement should be attacked by all. This sounds a little too much like the well-intentioned Article X. of the League Covenant. Recent history has shown that in such situations the interested Power§ intervene only if they have something important to gain by intervention, or something serious to lose by staying out. Fur- thermore, while there is as yet in no country 'any effective democratic control of the details of foreign poli- cy, there is an increasingly greater measure of democratic control over the decisions of peace and war.

SELLING THE OLD HORSE If you don't mind, friends, I'll put in a word for the old horse—that old bay fellow, you know, with the en- larged knees. He has worked for you some twelve .years, I understand, and has, been satisfied with his board and rootth and a set of new shoes now and then. During those twelve years, if I am rightly informed, nineteen hired men have kicked, got balky, and .lain down on the job, but the old bay has never done any of those things. I am told that in the same length of time three hired girls have run away, but the good horse has never done that either. It is also said that you yourself have been away two winters, two months each time, but the faithful nag hat stuck to the farm and kept things running until your return. He is eighteen now, or is it nine- teen? At any rate he is about as old in horse language as you will be at seventy in man language._ He is still doing his best, hut of course his best is not good, nnd, if I'm alive at the time, I'll say the same thing a- bout you when you are seventy. What are you going to do with him ? I know what you are thinking of doing with him. You are thinking of selling him for 115, or $17.50 if you can get it, to the old garbage man in town. He could do the gar- bage man's work all right, you say, it would not he hard on him, you need the money for school taxes, and then—well, the barn is crowded, bad- ly crowded. That's what you are thinking. Confess. Say, friend, think again—and while you are thinking, look me in the eye. You know mighty well that old gar- bage man is so stingy he wouldn't stutter on account of the waste of breath, and will not feed himself enough, let alone a horse; you know he cusses like a pirate when he is mad, and he is always mad; you know he never used a blanket on the last horse he had, and the beast died 'atiiltv�i'teatip�tgii o p f;tool�orirmeh d .httd that he loves :ilia .homer tn>lch a» Y4u do, It mot .more. + grew. to bonehead ° bare .and`lnowa et'ery corner and fence post. f1 . on sell bland to, any one you will 'b ,k his heart. ger depends on y10, has every. confidence in yea. tie. 445 given you twelve longears Itis of active 'life, and if he bad kept books he could prove you owe him $2,400 at least, Don't break bis_hearh • Personally, I don't think yourbarn is crowded.
