Individual Farmers. the Towueb*P Count and the Goveretuteut Pool Subscriptions -- Managed by w Local Board — Ten Assordatione Already Doing Business. (Contributed by Ontario Department e[ Agriculture. Toronto.) There le one distinctive difference between the ,system Of long-term loans and the ayatem of short-term luaus recently inaugurated in this Province. Those who have followed the preceding articles will have ob- served that long-term loans are made direct by the Agricultural Develop- ment Board, 5 Queen's Park, To- ronto. In contrast to this, no short- term loans are made by the Board, but are made solely through local associations organized for this purpose. Short Time Credits Described. The reason for this difference In method of operation lies in ?he differ- ence in the nature of the security and the nature of the loan. In the matter of loug-term loans, the eecur- Ity is a first mortgage on land, and the personality of the borrower, while important, Is secondary. In the short-term loans, the security is a note or lien on chattels, and the personality of the borrower, and his reputation In the community, is one of the big determining factors. Then, too, the loan le usually a email one. With $2,000 as the maximum, the average loan will no doubt be a good deal under $1,000. It would, there- fore, be physically impossible for any central office to grant and supervise loans In all the different sections of the Province for small amounts. No other system of granting short-term loans on personal or chattel security by a central office for a whole Pro- vince is In existence. Such loans may, however, be granted with reasonable safety by local commltteea familiar with all the circumstances. Not So Difficult. Accordingly, a plan of organiz- ation of local farm loan associations has been devised, and this 1s not so difficult as might at first appear. A membership of thirty is required, and each member must take one share of stock, value $100, and make a payment of 10 per cent., or 110. This stock represents capital, and is held 1n reserve. There to little like- lihood of any farther payment ever being required on capital acoount. After the necessary membership 1s signed up, the township council and the Government are each asked to appoint two directors, and subscribe for one -halt ttie amount of stock subscribed by local members; this to be added to the reserve. When these directors have been appointed, the association elects a president, vice- president and one director. These ' officers, with the two Government directors and the two township di- rectors, constitute a board of seven, which; thereafter, looks after the business of the association. A see- retary-treasurer is appointed, and he is the only paid officer permitted. When the association is thus formed It continues from year to year with the usual annual election of officers, and applications for loans can then be made from time to time to the aeoretary-treasurer, who will arrange to have them considered by the di- rectors. In practice, It will probably be found desirable to have meetjag. .at stated periods for the conafdesll ioa of the loans. In this way, Ismail'�ggy be passed without any inconvenience either to the borrower or to the directors. Associations Already Formed. Although this plan has been be- fore the farmers of the Province for only a few month, ten associations have been formed, and are doing business, while two others have been formed, but have not yet passed on loans. Loans granted range from 5125 to 11,800, in individual cases, and are for all manner of purposes in connection with farm work. They are repayable at the end of the year with Interest at. 635 per cent., but, of course, may be renewed for another year it the directors feel that such renewal is justified. Each applicant submits to the as- sociation a detailed statement of his assets and liabilities, and also signs a promissory note. The application 'is then endorsed by the president and secretary of the association and sent 1n to the Board for approval and for issuing of cheque to cover the total amount loaned to an asso- ciation. While, therefore, the sub- ject is approached from the stand- , point of helping the man on the land in carrying out hie farming opera- tions, It will be seen that due regard is paid to the question of security, and if reasonable discretion is exer- cised there is no reason why any of tie money so loaned should go astray. Wen Distributed. The number of associations now doing business is regarded as a very satisfactory start. With the new system it was not expected that such associations would spring up in a night all over the Province, nor was it regarded as desirable that such should occur. The associations now in existence are well scattered over the province, The Board of Directors selected includes some of the very best farmers In the country. Their interest in the matter and their public-spirited efforts to assist their neighbors In the matter of fin- ance gives the associations organized a good standing in their respective, communities. The future of this plan Is now in the hands of the farmers themeeleee. It was placed on the Statute Book as an alternative system of merit in itself, and of value as an alternative where other,agencies were found in- adequate or unsatisfactory.

Unfortun- ately the material of which the silage was made is not designated in the short itein that appears in the University Farm Press News, which is 'as follows: "Moldy silage fed to cattle, horses and sheep at the Minnesota Experi- ment Station, University Farm, by dairy division men, co-operating with university plant pathologists and veterinarians in conducting feeding tests, caused no sickness or apparent ill effects among the ani- mals. In fact, some of them seem- ed to thrive upon the prescribed diet. Only the sheep registered occasional protests against the daily menu. Horses and cattle apparently relish- ed it after the first week. "A great variety of moldy silage, sent to the farm from various parts of the state, Was fed to the stock. To make the experiment as thorough as possible drenches which were fair- ly alive with molds in a growing con- dition were administered. Then the scientists sat back and waited, but nothing happened. "The experiments, running several months, were prompted by ,many inquiries concerning moldy silage and the dangers supposed to be con- nected with it in feeding. Twenty pounds of it fvere fed daily for about four months to each of five head of cattle, The diet was tried out on young and old animals. Spoiled bilage, to which an upstate dairyman had attributed the death of six of his cows, was also used in the feeding experiments at Univer- sity Farm without any sign of injury to the stock. "University investigators do not contend there are no elements of danger under all the varying condi- tions affecting silage, but because of the experiment., made at the farm with three classes of livestock they feel that molds are not dangerous in the general plan of feeding." BORN BUTCHERS A scientist has recently stated that by examination we can discover at its birth what tendencies a baby will have, and can thus train it for the profession for which it is most suited. Should it, for instance, possess large feet, it drill inevitably become a policeman, provided that the rest of it is built to that specification— and provided, of course, it's not a girl. If she, again, has large ears, she is marked down at once as a tele- phone operator, and so on. All trades and professions you will note, have their own special char- acteristics. Most detectives in fiction manage to mystify their friends by taking one glance at a man and then being able to specify bis calling. This sort of thing is easy enough if you've studied it. Should you see a man carrying a pail pf paint and a couple of brushes you may guess at once that he's a painter. The mental characteristics, accord- ing to the professor, are as import- ant as the physical ones, and each calling has its own particular set. Butchers are invariably hearty, red-faced jolly men. If there ever was a pessimistic, pale, anaemic butcher, nobody ever bought meat from him. Farmers, on the other hand, are the most miserable and pessimistic of men. They are always on the verge of ruin. If it rains, the sheep catch cold and sneeze all their wool off. If the sun shines it brightens up the earwigs, who eat all the corn. Tax collectors, in like manner, are full of sympathy. They sigh heavily when they take your money, as much as to say that they know how dif- ficult it is for you. Instead of brain- ing them with the inkpot, as you in- tended when you first went in, you go home determined to be a better lad in future and not keep the poor men waiting. Artists are expected to have long hair, no hats and a vacant expression that might mean anything from a hope of hereafter to adenoids. I knew on once who dressed like an ordinary man, but he nearly starved. before we accept the professor's theory, however, we ought to make sure that these characteristics are not the result, instead of the cause, of the profession. Not all the polite men become floorwalkers. Floor - walking may make those who prac- tice it polite. CONEY ISLAND BABY CLE- BRiTY iS BORN WITH TWELVE TEETH - Now comes an infant celebrity riv- aling the widely advertised Iowa youngster who lustily called mother an hour after his birth. The new child marvel is Louie Flores, of West' Seventeenth Street, Coney Island, who at the age of one minute, proudly displayed twelve bright and shining teeth. Louie is the son of E. G. and Mary Flores. He was born last Wednesday and had at birth six front teeth and six molars. In every other respect he is normal. Dr. John F. Pierce, who attended Mrs. Flores at the birth of little Louie and marveled -at 4 a• ti•g'.oast' d�saFaa�As mit ft la . q�y, ptl tit ti oat hon t sI " a 1 7 i 1podt ur Rpr, an kiln__Aro_ upon the mgbbus`oenzem us :Ouch* the umaomm* llss normal condi 171ilCo., ttmnlTolane " p o, the teeth, found the child weighed six pounds, one ounce. "It is very extraordinary," said Dr. Pierce. "I have specialized in ob- stetrics for 25 years and although I have heard of infante born with one or two teeth, 1 never saw a case. And -I never heard of a new bora babe having almost a complete set. The child is robust and probably will carry the teeth until he is seven or eight years old, when the permanent adult teeth will begin to replace these temporary ones." Several obstetrical specialists in- terviewed on the subject agreed to- day young Louie has set a record for babies to shoot at. "1t is a congenital anomaly," said Dr. M. L. Davis, of the Manhattan Maternity Hospital, "due to certain conditions which we cannot quite fathom. I should not say that the case represented an extraordinary parental development, but it cer- tainly is something new and quite worthy of close examination." MANY TROUBLES COME THROUGH THE BLOOI) If Kept Rich and Red Good Health Will be Yours. Nearly all the common diseases are caused by bad blood, weak, watery blood poisoned by impurities. Bad blood is the cause of headaches and backaches, lumbago and rheumatism, debility and indigestion, neuralgia, sciatica and other nerve troubles. It is bad blood that causes disfiguring skin diseases like eczema, and salt rheum, pimples and eruptions. The severity of the trouble indicates how impure the blood is, and it goes al- ways from bad to worse unless steps are promptly taken to enrich and pur- ify the blood. There is no use trying a different medicine for each trouble, for they all come through the one cause—bad blood., In conditions of this kind Dr. Will cams' Pink Pills have been found very beneficial, as they have a direct action on the blood, en- riching and purifying it. That is why this medicine is so often success- ful, after other remedies have failed —they reach the root of the trouble in the blood. Mr. Albert E. Giffin, Mount Pleasant, P.E.I., tells what these pills did for him. He says:— "Some months ago I was in a badly run-down condition. My blood was poor, I had no appetite and my work left me completely tired out. I fell off in weight, was altogether in a miserable condition. I was taking medicine, but it was not doing me any good. At this stage a friend who had used Dr, Williams' Pink Pills with beneficial results, advised me to take them, and acting on his advice I did so. The result can be summed up in a few words: I took the pills for a little more than a month when I can honestly say I never felt better in my life. I can now eat a hearty meal, do my work with comparative ease, and have gained in weight. I advise weak, run-down people to give these pills a fair trial." You can get these pills through any medicine dealer or by mail at fifty cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Peter (Continued from page 7) This envelope, however, was dif- ferent from any she had ever fumbl- ed, sniffed at, or pondered over. It was not only of unusual size, but it bore in the upper left-hand corner in bold black letters the words: ARTHUR BREEN & COMPANY, BANKERS. ft was this last word which set the good woman to thinking. Epistles from banks were not common,—never found at all, in fact, among the let- ters of her boarders. Jack was even more astonished, "Call at the office," the letter Fan, "the first time you are in New York, —the.geoner the better. I have some information regarding the ore pro- perties that may interest you." As the young fellow had not heard from his uncle in many moons, the surprise was all the greater. Nor, if the truth be known, had he laid eyes on that gentleman since he left the shelter of his home, except at Corin- ne's wedding,—and then only across the church, and again in the street, when his uncle stopped and shook his hand in a rather perfunctory way, complimenting him on his bravery in rescuing MacFarlane, an account of which he had- seen in the newspapers, and ending by hoping that his new life would "drop some shekels into his clothes." Mrs. Breen, on the con- trary, while she had had no oppor- tunity of expressing her mental at- titude toward the exile, never having seen him since he walked out of her UR/NrToaCalnnotBny _ Nen Eyes k "0 Bet y4n,ten' Pramole fe f�0/q ,- fjtean:flealihlcgaditioe iOUIt Vj el a Ii�yye Remedy NI t and Morning." ileep'yoisrtiseaditeaii,Clear and Heaslip.

Mre. Breen heaved a deep sigh. Neither she nor Breen bad been invited to the Poans', nor had Corinne (the Scril) has often wondered whether the second scoop in Mukton was the cause)—and yet . Ruth MacFarlane, and Jack and Mies Felicia Grayson, and a lot more out- of-town people—so that insufferable Mrs. Bennett had told her—had come long distances to be present, the in- sufferable adding significantly that "Miss MacFarlane looked too lovely and was by all odds the prettiest girl in the room, and as for young Breen, really she .could have fallen in love with him herself!" Jack turned his uncle's letter in his pocket, skipped over to read it to Ruth and MacFarlane, in explana- tion of his enforced absence for the day, and kept on his way to the sta- tion. The missive referred to the Morfordsburg contract, of course, and. was evidently an attempt to gain in- formation regarding the proposed work, Arthur Breen & Co. being the financial agents of many similar pro- perties. "I will take care of him, sir,",Jack had said as he left his Chief. "My uncle, no doubt, means all right, and it is just as well to hear what he says—besides he has been good en- ough to write to nie, and of course I must go, but I shall not commit my- selfone way or the other—" and with a whispered word in Ruth's ear, a kiss and a laugh, he left the house. As he turned down the short street leading to the station, he caught sight of Garry forging ahead on his way to the train. That rising young archi- tect; chairman of the Building Com- mittee of the Council, trustee of church funds, politician and all-round man of the world—most of which he carried in a sling—seemed in a par- ticulars happy frame of mind this morning judging from the buoyancy with which he stepped. This had communicated itself to the gayety of his attire, for he was dressed in a light -gray check suit, and wore a straw hat (the first to see the light of summer) with a green ribbon a- bout the crown,—together with a white waistcoat and white spats, the whole enriched by a red rose bud which Corinne had with her own hands pinned in his buttonhole. "Why, hello! Jack, old man! Just the very fellow I'm looking for," cried the joyous traveller. "You going to New York?—So am 1.—go every Goy now, got something on ice,—the oig- gest thing I've ever struck. I'll s}'ow that uncle of yours that two can play at his game. He hasn't lifted his hand to help us, and I don't want'him to,—Cory and I can get along; but you'd think he'd come out and see us once in a while, wouldn't you, or ask after the baby; Mrs. Breen comes, but not Breen. We live in the coun- try and have tar on bur heels, he thinks. Here,—sit by the window! Naw let's talk of something else. How's Mies Ruth and the governor? He's a daisy;—best engineer any- where round here. Yes, Cory's all right. Baby keeps her awake half the night; I've moved out and camp upstairs; can't stand it. Oh, by the way, I see you are about finishing up on the railroad work. I'll have ) something to say to you next week on the damage question. Got all the reports in last night. I tell you, my old chief, Mr. Morris, is a corker! What he doesn't know about masonry isn't worth picking up;—can't fool himl That's what's the matter with half of our younger men; they sharp- en lead -pencils, mix ink, and think they are drawing; or they walk down a stone wall and don't know any more what's behind it and what holds it up than a child. Mr. Morris can not only design a wall, but he can teach some first-class mechanics how to lay it." Jack looked out the window and watched the fences fly past. For the moment he made no reply to Garry'' long harangue—especially the part referring to the report. Anxious as he was to learn the result of the award, he did not want the facts from the chairman of the committee in advance of the confirmation by the CounciL "What is it you have on ice, Garry?" he asked at last with a laugh yielding' to an overpowering convic- tion that he must change the subject —"a new Corn Exchange? Nobody can beat you in corn exchanges." "Not by a long shot, Jack,—got something better; I am five thous- and ahead now, and it's all velvet" "Gold -mine, Garry?" queried Jack turning his head. "Another Mukton Lode? Don't forget poor Charlie Gil- bert; he's been clerking it ever since, I hear." "No; a big warehouse company; I'll get the buildings later on. That Mukton Lode deal was a clear skin game, Jack, if it is your uncle, and A. B. & Co, got paid up for it—down town and uptown. You ought to hear the boys at the .Magnolia talkabout it. My scheme is not that kind; I'm on the ground•floor; got some of the promoter's stock. When you are through with your railroad contract and get your money, let me know. I can show you a thing or two;—open your eyes! No Wall Street racket, remember,—just a plain business deal." "There -won't be much money left over, Garry, from the 'fill'. and tunnel work, if we keep ;on. We ought to have a cyclone next to finish up with; we've had about everything else." "You're all through, Jack;" replied Garry with elriphasis. Pll believe that when 1 see it,". said Jack with a smile.
