The seed drill shows the result of
neglect 1n a way so impressively as
to deter the owner or operator from
abusing this macltlue to the same ex-
tent as he may practice with the plow
or harrow. A warped seed box, on
rusty and clogged grain runs, leave
tell tale evidence over the field that
even makeathe neglectfulman repent.

When once the bearings become

not the easiest to get at; a long Sexi-

Keep the 011 Can Oonstanuy at Hand.
An oil can should always be with
the seed drill. The large wheels turn-
ing slowly may not need oiling more
than once each half day, but the theca
may turn 15,000 times in a day under
considerable pressure, hence the need
of frequent oiling. The seed box

ally be well served by oiling twice.

exposed to the weather when not in
use. A canvas Covers eptly large
to fully protect the gra' box should
go with this machine for use over
night or idle periods i1 1t is not de-
sired to move the drill back to Its
proper storage in the implement shed
until the close of the seeding season.
The matter of keeping bolts tight and
everything in adjustment is just as
important with this machine as with
any other. if the drill gets proper
care, it will last the lifetime of the
operator, and the original cost of
paint will carry It through.
When the plow is not to use its
bright surfaces should be protected
by a layer of thick mineral oil or
grease. Heavy machine oil or good
axle grease rubbed over the mould
board, share, coulter and jointer
point will save a plow from the rav-
ages of rust. The rusting of one win-
ter period may Injure a plow more
than a long season's service 1n the
field. Rusty plows lose a lot of time
for man and team in the spring,
through delay caused by halts to
clear and scrape a mould board that
will not scour. All braces and bolts
should be kept tight, the points of
share, coulter and skimmer sharp
and of proper shape. The plow wheel
and axle should be kept well lubri-
cated and packed in such a way as
will prevent sand reaching the wear-
ing surface of wheel hub or axle. The
small wheel of a plow will turn
40,000 times in a day plowing two
acres. if the wheel is to last and do
good service, the axle should get a
little heavy oil every hour. An oil
can holder should be attached to
every plow, so that the o11 supply will
always be at hand and screeching
prevented by its timely use.
Watch the Plow Point.
If the plow point becomes worn
the Inclination of the mouldboard is
changed; the plow tends to run on
the point, the work becomes heavier
on both the horses and the plowman,
and poorer work is done. The heel of
tle share wears nearly as quickly as
does the point. With the dulling of
the heel the plow will wing over to
the land and require more exertion
on the part of both man and team.
Keep the plowshare sharp and in pro-
per form. A coat of paint applied to
the handles, beam and all other parts
that do not come in direct contact
with the oil will do much to keep up
appearances and prevent weathering.

• Bushels of Grain in Bina
To compute the number 01 oeshela
in bins multiply the length by width
and depth, and divide the number ob-
tained by 1 y,. This gives the num-
ber of bushels.
If figuring on ear corn, divide by
21/2 instead of 1% as for small grain
or shelled corn.
A common farm waggon box, 10
feet long and 3 feet wide, will hold
about 2 bushels of grain for every
inch 1n depth, that is, a box 18 inches
deep will hold approximately 36
bushels.
When Cow "Holds Up" Milk.
Tne suppression of secretion of
milk 1s the reflex result of irritation
of the nervous system. chock, chill,
fright, pain, rough milking, sensitive
teats, weaning of a calf,etc., are
some of the causes. If possible have
the cow milked by -a woman. Try the
effects of placing a young calf at her
head before starting to milk. Massage
the udder gently for a few minutes
before milking. If the teats are ten-
der applysome melted lard each even-
ing. An old-fashioned treatment is
to lay a sack of grain on the cow's
loins at milking time. This le expect-
ed to detract her attention so that
she will "let down her milk." We
cannot vouch for tete efficiency of this
plan as we have not tried it in prac-
tice. In stubborn casco It is best to

PALE FACES AND

Blood—A Tonic is Needed.
Anaemia — literally impoverished
blood—comes on so stealthily that it
is often well advanced before its pres-
ence is recognized. Feeling of
fatigue and discomfort are the earli-
est manifestations of the trouble and
these are seldom taken seriously.
Gradually small tasks become an ef-
fort and exertion causes the heart to
palpitate violently. The complexion
becomes sallow or pale and there is
loss of weight. The nerves grow weak
and the victim display irritability un-
der slight provocation and is extreme-
ly sensitive to noise. The appetite is
fickle and indigestion often follows.
A condition of an aemia calls for a
tonic, one that will enrich the blood
and strengthen the nerves, and for
this purpose there is nothing can
equal Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. These
pills give the blood all those missing
elements necessary ,o give strength
to the nerves, color to the cheeks and
nourishment to starved organs and
tissues. Miss Margaret J. Fraser,
11. R. 2, Thessalon, Ont., has proved
the value of this treatment. She says:
"I was very pale and weak. My blood
was poor and I was very nervous. I
lost my appetite, my feet and ankles
were swollen and 1 was in a very mis-
erable condition. A friend advised me
to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and I
got two boxes and found before they
were finished that they were helping
me. I continued the pills until I had
taken a half dozen boxes with the re-
sult that I am now enjoying the best
of health, all symptoms having disap-
peared. I feel confident that what Dr.
Williams' ]'ink Pills did for me they
will do for others, if given a fair
trial."
You can get these pills from any
medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cents
a box from The Dr. Williams' Medi-
cine Co., Brpckville, Ont.
GOLDEN RULE BRINGS WEALTH
AND FAME
Arthur Nash, the Cincinnati tailor
whose story is told in the current is-
sue of Collier's, is one of the most
remarkable employers' in the world.
For the past four years he has been
running his business on the Golden
Rule, and he has found out to his
flatonishment and the astonishment
of others that it is the ideal system
for business. He started it in the
hope that the business would speed-
ily wind itself up and that he would
be free to spend the rest of his life
in the country for he had tired of
business. To his amazement he saw
the business grow to such an extent
that whereas in 1919 he had 29 peo-
ple working for him, to -day he has
2.000 and his business is the big-
gest of the kind in the United States.
Whether it will last, he does not
know, but he says that he can think
of asgreat many things that are of
more importance than -his financial
success. At the present time he is
letting the business run itself while
he is telling his story all over the
country.'
He is the president and general
manager of the A. Nash Company,
incorporated in 1916 with a capital
of $60,000, and until 1919 was re-
cognized as a normal, shrewd Ameri-
can business man who was also a
Christian. He bought in the cheap-
est market and employed his work-
ers for as little as they would ac-
cept. He probably had made money,
but he got tired of business, and
the continual worry. He didn't own
the machines in his shop upon which
the Nash clothes were made. They
were owned by a contractor who
employed such help as could not
get employment in the big factories.
It was, in effect, a sweat shop, and
Mr. Nash though a Christian, thought
that sweat shops were necessary if
a tailor was dro remain in business.
One day the contractor desired fp go
hack to Europe to look up some rela-
tives, and Nash bought his machines.
Then lie went through the factory
and learned what the contractor had
been paying. Starvation wages were
the rule. Nash was shocked. He
felt that the responsibility was now
upon hhn. He despaired, and con-
cluded that rather than pay these
disgraceful wages he would wind up
the business.
But some of the minority share-
holders objected. They insisted that
Nash should remain and' runthe
business. Then he thought up an-
other scheme to run it into the
ground. He found an old woman
who was sewing on buttons for $4.00
a week. He raised her wages to
$12, and before he left the factory
that day had raised everybody's
wages from 50 per cent, to 300 per
cent. He had no particular scheme
in mind. He was resolved to pay
what he called Christian wages, and
he paid them. As a Christian man
he felt he could do no less. Then
he retired for two months to the
country, expecting that when he re-
turned the business would be about
ready for the receiver. But to his
amazement at the end of two months
he discovered that the A. Nash
Company had done three times as
mach business as it had done in
the same period the previous year,

thia was due- to the increase ret
wages. "No," he said, "it was due

place of what we have bebn calling
business principles." Somehow or
other in his 'lithe Cincinnati shop
'tad been born a spirit so powerfhl
that i it had forcedthe
ha n tires years a
A. Nash Company into the first rank
in the United States. Mr. Nash
says he 'hasn't any system. He has
no labor troubles. His shop is not

employe men without regard to race
or creed. Some are on piece work,
some on day work. ` They all work
equally hard, according to investi-
gators. He doesn't try to keep agi-
tators out of bis busines, but he
has found out that after they come
in they rarely leave.
Nash says that if there is any
secret in his success it is that he
treats his employees like brother(' and
sisters. When there is a surplus they
get togetber and decide whether they
will split' it up in bonuses, raise wag-
es, or give the value to the •eustom-
ers. When he announced the first
division of profits some of the high
priced men -came to him and asked
that the distribution be made not
according to salaries, but equally
from the scrubwoman to the chief
designer. And so it was done. Mr.
Nash says that raising wages is not
enough by itself to create such an
organization as he has built up. Bus-
iness success be regards as one of
those things which the Bible prom-
ises shall be added unto those who
first seek the Kingdom of God and
His righteousness. He didn't begin
his remarkable experiment with the
object of doing more business. He
simply felt that he would rather go
out of business than not follow the
Golden Rule. Where he expected
to go broke, he has been made rich
and famous. He says that when we
get the Kingdom of God, peace and
plenty follow as a matter of course.

FACTS ABOUT CANADA
Montreal, Que.-••The water of this
city is, bacterially speaking, 90 per
cent. pure, according to J. H. Har-
rington, city engineer, who addressed
the Rotary Club a short time ago.
Mr. Harrington explained that the
waters of the city, taken from the St.
Lawrence river, underwent two pro-
cesses of purification in the city's
filtration plant.
Lethbridge, Alta.—It is estimated
that the area served by the railway
lines running through Lethbridge, in
Southern Alberta, will harvest a crop
of 46,000,000 bushels of grain of all
kinds this year. The bulk of the crop
will be handled by the Canadian Pa-
cific Railway company.
Quebec, Que.—Works of a total
value of $5,000,000, are now in opera-
tion on highways and roads of the
province of Quebec under the direct
control of the roads department, In
this connection nearly 10,000 persons
are employed. From various points
of the province, engineers of the road
department are advising the govern-
ment that work is not only being con-
ducted rapidly, but the construction
of new roads repair maintenance, etc.,
is progressing most favorably.
Ottawa, Ont—The month of June
showed a further marked improve-
ment in the employment situation,
according to the Labor Gazette, the
expansion being of general character.
The percentage of unemployment a-
mong members of trade unions was
4.5 in June, as compared with 4.6 in
"May and 8.7 in June, 1922. The de-
cline in average retail prices of foods

mer. Practically all the catch is
made in Northern Alberta lakes. Ship-
ments are made to Winnipeg, Calgary,
Edmonton, Chicago, New York and
other Eastern points.
Ottawa, Ont.—Exports of.. wheat
from Canada during June amounted
to 22,228,898 bushels, value $26,354,-

THE MiRACLE CORNERSTONE
OF SAINT ANNE
On Wednesday, with the fete day
of Good Saint Anne set for the mor-
row, Thursday, July 26, the sky
through the gaps in the Laurentidea
to the north opened their floodgates
in a veritable downpour upon Saint
Anne de Beaupre. Drip, drip, drip—
it mired the roads of the Cote Beau -
pre. And nothing in the world looked
good to the townsfolk but their brand
new concrete road that is the town's
main street.
But personal discomfort took minor
place in the hearts and thoughts of
everybody. "What mattered to -day
if only to -morrow were fine?" A
good clear day for Saint Anne.
Drip,drip, drip, the rain came down.
But the business of arriving pilgrims
went on. Trains, automobiles, voi-
tures, coming and going, and pilgrims
dismounting 'and hurrying to find a
place in the crowded hotels and pen-
sions.
And then Thursday dawned.
Dawned and broke into one of the
fairest days ever afforded of this
region of the Lower St. Lawrence.
Fairest of "Queen's weather" for
this sovereign lady of Beaupre! My,
how the hearts of the people went up
in thankfulness! How joyous grew
the atmosphere. How smiling the
faces of the thousands already in
town and the thousands coming
through the gates from the railroad
station, where train after train suc-
ceeded each other in swift and joyful
rumbling of wheels and tuneful en-
gine bells clanging "Room! room!"
"Clear the road!" "A way, a way
for me, and—mine!"
So, on Thursday, the Pilgrims came
to Beaupre. Carne to Beaupre for the
birthday of Saint Anne.
It will be recalled by readers of the
various papers that Sainte Anne de
Beaupre is one of the most historic
spots in Canada. A spot which,
though it is geographically a part of
Quebec province, belongs in spirit to
all Canada. Nor is its fame confined
to the dominion. There are few sec-
tions in the United States but know
and honor Saint Anne de Beaupre.
It is a place like that. A world shrine
enshrined in the hearts of the people
of the whole -5.f North America. A
place where the nick receive miracu-
lous cures, spiritual help and bodily
healing.
A quaint and rural spot on the St.
Lawrence whose fame is world-wide.
The scene at this village on Thurs-
day, the rich scenes of color and at-
mosphere enacted here in honor of
Sainte Annie the wonder -worker of
Beaupre, take on, therefore, the im-
Tl;ey come to witness the blessing'.

The morning's ceretnenies began
with'a procession. The sweet, clean
hill of Beaupre, springlike in its
freshness sifter the Fain, lookedwn
peon 'prints; in their white roes.

the thousands of pilgrims, slowly up
the steps of the platform to the great
altar erected in the open air on the
exact spot where the altar will stand
in the new basilica.
Here, already seated on the plat-
form, were the lieutenant -governor
and his lady and the premier of the
Province of Quebec.
A solemn High Mass was then cele-
brated, the music being afforded
throughout the morning by the choir,
assisted by several pieces of the
band.
Occasions" like this one, after all,
paint themselves on the imagination
and the memory as do oil -paintings•.
Certain things, certain colors stand-
ing out in high -light. While details,
important in themselves, blend into
purples and rich shadows of back-
ground, deepening the interest in the
prominent figures of the picture.
Thus after the Mass—always first in
its true significance—psalms and
prayers, and an address in French
by Pere Manise and an excellent one
in English by Father Daly, of To-
ronto, paved the way for the object
of popular concentration—the bless-
ing of the huge block of granite by
his eminence Cardinal Begin.
While his eminence, in all the glory
of the scarlet of his office, stood be-
fore the block of grey granite, per-
haps fifteen to eighteen thousand peo-
ple stood on the ground the church
is to occupy, and looked down from
the windows of the temporary church
or any other convenient vantage
point.
The choir sang the 83rd Psalm, be-
ginning: "How lovely are Thy tab-
ernacles, 0' Lord of Hosts."
Then the cardinal "blessed" the
stone and sprinkled it with holy wa-
ter, the people intently watching,
while the lordly St. Lawrence swept
as in a silver stream this fair morn-
ing pant the green meadows where
Sainte Anne first declared herself as
a wonder -worker more than two hun-
dred and fifty years ago.
The stone is two feet by three. It
is graven with a cross and a Latin
inscription to the effect:
That on "The seventh day before
the Calends of August (July 26th),
in the year, of Our Lord, 1923, under
the Sovereign Pontificate of Pope
Pius XI. and the Reign of George V.,
King and Emperor, the most illus-
trious and most eminent Cardinal
Louis Nazaire Begin, Archbishop of
Quebec„rhas blessed me as the corner-
stone of the Basilica minor of Sainte
Anne de Beaupre." •
A rare old custom was revived af-
ter the stone was blessed. The peo-
ple were invited to come up and
strike the stone with a little silver
hammer. Most of the people availed
themselves of this invitation- and at
the same time left a generous dona-
tion for Good Sainte Anne.
A deeply historic note was intro-
duced into the ceremonies of the day
by the use of many of the rich gifts
which have come to Sainte Anne of
Beaupre in the course of the year4.

One of the sights of the old basili-
ca, it will be remembered by those
who knew it, were the beauttjful
flowers always on the. altar.
In the afternoon the sick were as-
sembled and given the "blessing"
Benediction following immediately, a
delicate touch being given to glia
service by the use of the "corner.
atone" as the altar.
All day long the People filled the
temporary church—thousands of peo-
ple, coming and going.
In the evening there was a proces-
sion up the hill under' the twisting
avenue of maples passed the station
of the Cross and down again by the
way of the Scala Sancta. In this
procession lighted candles were car-
ried, appearing as thousands of fire-
flies enfilading through the shrub-
bery! The Zouaves were out from
Quebec, and the Benediction after-
wards in La Chapelle Temporaire,
with the bugler of the Zouaves giving
the fanfare,_ was the closing note of a
colorful day.
A day long -to be remembered! A.
day which marks the official birth of
a new basilica. A basilica designed
to rank with some of the finest ca-
thedrals of the old world. A•basilica
whose congregation will not be en-
compassed by the Cote Beaupre, but
will reach as ribbons from a gigantic
May -pole into the lives of men and
women in every province of the do-
minion, in every state of the union.
It is fitting, therefore, that this
church -to -be should be a sumptuous,
spacious building requisite in every
particular to the needs of so large
and cosmopolitan a congregation—a
congregation making this basilica an
objective once a year .on the occasion
of the fete of "bonne Sainte Anne."
The new structure will be one in
which the whole Canadian people may
take pride. Built in a combination
of Roman and Gothic, the superficial
area will be about 42,000 square feet
with a seating . capacity for 5,000
persons. There will be 26 chapels.
Many features place it in a class
with St. John ,the Divine in New
York, which is usually considered ae
the finest bit of cathdreal architec-
ture in North America.
Like St. John the Divine, it will
take years to build, but the work will
go on rapidly, and it is said that it
will be advanced suficiently to hold
services in the crypt in two years.
But when all is Said, it is the mir-
acle which centres interest from far
and wide in this particular pot.
Sainte Anne did not diaapPoint the
faithful on her birthday this year.
Her blessings were as generous as
the people's felicitations on their part.
Ten persons received help on that
day. Names and addresses show that
most of these came from the United
States. Thomas J. Brady, of Spring-
field, Mass., pronounced incurable by
doctors, completely relieved of acute
pain• Miss. Burns, of Holyoke, Mass.,
, walking with crutches, cured of a
j serious nervous trouble, was able to
move about freely S. Stevens, a re-
turned soldier, suffering from pare-
• lysis, residing at Motherwell, Mani-
toba, completely restored to his form-
er health; a blind man received his
sight.
Of course, rigid investigations will
be made by the Redemptorist Fathers
lin charge of Sainte Anne de Beaupre
• church as to the permanency of these
cures, which will not be registered
as miracles until after the strictest
investigation and not until a length
of time has elapsed in proof of per-
manency.
