She would waken in the morning and tell me that something dreadful was going to happen that day. Life was nothing short of misery for her. She was so depressed that I ex pected she would lose her mind and have to go to a sanitarium and I kept wondering how I would get the money to pay for her. She could not eat and had no appetite for food. She was ir- ritable and cranky most of the time. If she was crossed in any way, she would immediately work herself up into a violent temper. This worried me because she had always had a kind and gentle dis- position and nothing which was said or done seemed to irritate her. I spoke to our family doctor about her and he said that her trouble was imagination and that if she would try and forget about her depression and look on the bright side of life she would he all right. Of course 1 didn't dare tell her this because 1 knew she would get into one of her tempers. V.'iten she got over these fits of temper, she was always weak and ill and more depressed than ever. The doctor said a tonic might help her and gave me a prescrip- tion but this did not do her any good. She tried all kinds of other tonics with the same result. Car- nol was recommended to me and I wivh to elate that it is the leader of all tonics. Since taking it my wife has changed completely. Now she is always ready for her meals and work is no burden. It is a pleasure for me to reconunend Carnol to anyone who is in need of a tonic or a body builder.

FYckleness of Mind In Breeding Live Stock Is Fatal to Success. As the landscape speeds past while one travels by road or rail, it is dis- appointing to see a different breed or cross of cattle on practically every other farm. This practice causes more loss to the live stuck Industry than any o1,he,F, owing to its altuoat tin ir ersal adoption over very large areas. Not only is It a great national luso, but it never gets the individual farmer who adopts it, anywhere near success. Neither does it give any in- spiration to his lamely to stay with an industry that is fascinating, healthy and prodtable, wain under- taken where pure-bred or tutelltgeut- 'ty bred nerds are kept. 11 a person • would make up his mind as to what bread of animal was desired, and then , use the bust sire available for that breed there would be a possibility of greatly improving the breed. '!'here is a fickleness of mend with many farmers, and they follow it by switching from one breed of bull to I another to bead their herds. They re' a le to give a definite rea- son for their separate choices or what v they expect from the operation. Many of the prevailing popular ideas ex- hibit a lack of knowledge as to where the crossing of breeds will land. This lack of knowledge is all the more remarkable seeing that there are hun- dreds of cases in any county or sec- tion to show that It means retrogres- sion, rather than progress. The writer visited a farm lately where a farmer tried the "in and out" g°anle betweeu the dairy and beet breeds of cattle. He had a herd of good useful grade dairy cows, and when the boom came to beef cattle, during the war, be used a Shorthorn ' bull on these dairy cows. Before he reached anything definite the priee of beef had dropped and milk was com- manding a more profitable prate.

With the inereasiug interest in pure bred cattle throughout 'O tario,• ah. manlfeated'�y $ew (lea a�oaring in the show-ringa •df fairs from'' year to' year, proper value is being placed oat pedigree and some of the' old time breeding questions are again becom- ing live problenfa of the day. In a few words, the trtie value of pedigree lies in the fact that the major characteristics of the unborn' progeny from a mating of animals of more or less like breeding whose immediate and remote ancestors have perpetually been bred to certain stan- dards and with certain aims in view by reliable breeders can be foretold with a reasonable amount of cer- tainty. To the intelligent and con- structive cattleman who breeds in the anticipation of certain results, it is readily understood that such informa- tion as supplied by pedigree is in- valuable. As a result of the individ- ual work of the old time breeders, we now have animals within breeds or strains exhibiting certain varia- tions in common that are peculiar to that breed or strain. Therefore, a working knowledge of the history of a breed is necessary before a breeder curt successfully forward the construc- tion of the breed he favors. Observation in breeding opera- tions was the chief tool of the early breeders because reliable pedigree was lacking. Due to the work of these men, the present day generation can safely rely on pedigree. However, there is variation in all things, no two of a kind ever being exactly ident- ical, and as there must therefore be some variation, either to o major or minor degree, observation must still play an important part in breeding operations to -day. The importance of Ibis in shown in the fact that de- st,ite previous pedigree, in breeding results in uniformity of type but a loss of constitutional vigor, while cross breeding introduces renewed vigor, hut destroys herd uniformity. These terms with a few others may r•ecuire some explanation. Lt -breeding: Is the breeding to- gether of very near relatives, in this way greatly intensifying those char- acteristics common to this strain. Thi-' may readily mean emphasizing the bad as well as the good points, and as vigor and fertility are impair- ed by this process, in -breeding should be carefully avoided by the inexperi- enced breeder. The three recognized fur -ms of in -breeding are: Mating the s're and daughter; the son and dam; and brother .and sister. To make in- breeding a succes$ to any extent, raredul observation Must be made and rigid selection-earricd out for vigor an.l high fertility, and the avoiding of common weaknesses. Cross -breeding: Is the terns applied to the mating of two pure bred aui- n•ttls representing different breeds. In this operation the breeding of generations of two separate blood lines clash, and the result is naturally in doubt as one can readily compre- he nd the enormous amount of possible variation. Such a progeny is unsale- able as a representative of either breed and is consequently dangerous as 'a breeder. Line -breeding: Is merely intensify- ing the blood of an ancestor common to later ancestors of the present breed representative, and is merely a modi- fied type of in -breeding. Provided the desirable characteristics of the com- mon ancestor or ancestors are actu- ally predominant in specimens of the present generation, line -breeding is moat valuable in the hands of judic- ious breeders. Grading:'is'the great means of herd improvement of inferior and -non -pure bred cattle throughotit the province, usually. effected by the mating of a puke'bied,-With-a tloitldeecrlpt. 'It is remarkable what a' lea good top- crossea will do in improving.inferior cattle, and as the sire reachea the entire herd, a good pure bred sire is the common means to herd improve ment. IMITATION WOOL FROM COTTON A large French textile concern, Societe Gillet et File, has developed a process for making an imitation wool from cotton. The process, it is said, has been patented in the United States, Wool, of course, is an animal fibre derived from sheep, while cotton is a vegetable fibre grown in the fields. These two fibres, so different in ori- gin, also differ essentially in their structure and sensible properties, so that they can be rather easily told apart in the- yarn. • But when they are woven into fa- brics, and especially into a woollen cloth containing some cotton, it is a difficult matter to determine which is which. Thns, only those expert in textiles can tell definitely whether a fabric is all wool or not by the mere feel of the goods. The chemist can detect the presence of cotton in wool under the microscope. When the two fibres are' examined individually the berning teat indieateo wool by the characteristic odor of burning fea- thers- The new process of making imita- tion wool from cotton effects a change in the fibre, so' that cotton also burns with the odor of burning feathers. TI)le peculiar odor is due to the pres- ence of the element nitrogen in the form of protein. matter , in the wool.

Mercerized cotton cloth can also be converted by this process, as the mercerization has no effect on the ability of the fibre to absorb the pro- tein solution. ' "Artificial wool" has the character- istic properties of natttral wool. It resembles the latter so closely that the burning teat can no longer be used to tell whether the fibre is real wool or not.

At the age of twenty years a girl usually attains her full weight. Ohio's laws have been amended to be nearly equal with regard to prop• city rights of men and women. Though she is only seventeen years of age, Miss Barbara Cronk of Alameda, Cal., is already a distin- guished sculptor. Two, women have been appointed ae commisioners of the superior court for the judical district of Montreal, Can. In her first two years as an insur- ance. agent, Miss Rosetta Maisel of New York has sold more than $1,- 000,000 each year. Miss Jessie Pardee, recently ad- mitted to the.. Oklahoma bar, has served for 22 years as deputy elerk of the supreme court of that state. Of the more than 300 women sell- ing insurance in New York city, probably only three can lay claim to having excellent successes.

ABSORBENTS IN THE STABLE Approximately one-third of the ex- crement voided by animals is liquid. The liquid voidings of cows according to analysis contain in one ton twenty pounds of nitrogen and 27 pounds of potash. The solids voided contain in one ton 8 pounds of nitrogen, 2 pounds potash and 4 pounds of phosphoric acid. Taking the price of commercial fertilizers as a basis for computation, approximately $46.00 for nitrate . of soda (15 per cent.), $24 for acid phos- phate (16 per cent.), and $60:00 for muriate of potash (60 per cent), per ton; the value of these elements would be 22 cents per pound for nitrogen, 7 and a half cents for phosphoric acid and 5 cents per pound for potash. From the above calculation it will be seen the liquid manure is worth $4.40 for the nitrogen it contains and $186 for the potash, a total value of $6.75 per ton, while the solids are worth 51.76 for the. nitrogen, 10 cents for the potash and 30 centa for the phos- phorus, a total value of $2.I6 per ton. It is obviems that it is very important to conserve -all liquids voided by ani- mals. This can be done in practice by using absorbents of some kind which permit the return to the land of this valuable fertilizer with es little loss as possible. One pound each of well dried peat, thoroughly dried sawdust and dried leaves will absorb, respectively, 5, 4 and one and a half pounds of liquid. It is difficult to dry peat thoroughly under our climatic conditions and to get good dry sawdust is equally diffi- cult. Fortunately good dry straw;the absorbent most generally available, is also one of the best absorbents. Tests show that one pound of straw will absorb in twenty) -four -hours' from two and a quarter to two and three- quarter pounds of liquid. Oat straw is found to be a slightly better ab- sorbent than wheat straw. Oat straw; according to analysis, contains twelve pounds of nitrogen, 4 pounds of.phoe- phorus and 24 pounds of potash per tea If we attribute to the plant food ccmmercial fertilizers, we fled that a ; ton of oat straw is worth $2.64 for°tho nitrogen it contgins,•30-tents for the, phosphorus and' $1.20 for tiie potash, a total of $4.14.
