in search of water for an overheated

lady of the house.
"May 1 have a pail of water?” 1
asked.
"You may," elle said, handing me
a pail and pointing to the pump. 1
uotieed that her incex finger and her
thin seemed to work in uulson when
she indicated the direction of the

"Shrewd old girl," 1 thought, as
the water flowed into the pail. "1

ket value per pig at six weeks was
$6.25 (selling them as feeders, not as
pure-breds for breeding purposes,
otherwise theivalue would have been
$10 at six weeks) leaving a net profit
over feed cost of $3.94 per pig. In
other words, the average profit per
sow over feed cost. was $56.90 or for
the eleven sows $6'25.94. If one
wishes to gain profitable results, the
first consideration must be the selec-
tion of the brood sow; she should be
of correct bacon type, having size
along with deep straight sides, a well
arched back, good full quarters well
carried down, strong heart girth, no
undue flabbiness about the jowl and
from a sow that has produced large
fitters. After having made a care-
ful selection, breed to a good boar
of the bacon type; provide comfor-
table quarters, well lighted and ven-
tilated, also free from dampness and
draught. Yards should be provided
for all growing stock as exercise is
very neswssary for them as well as
for the mature sows.

Farm Women Fed Up With Silence.
"we farm women get fed up with
so much silence. It is somewhat dif-
ferent with the men,they are working
with animals and do slot feel the
loneliness as we women do. Once
a week is not 0, -a enough for wo-
men to get toi,,iner. Being kept
apart so long is it any wonder that
our tongues wag at both ends when
an oPPortunity to talk does come."
Is There a Panacea forqtural Lone -
After. hearing that little ser-
monatie, I unconsciously started for
the car that I had left standing on
the roadway. Coming to my sensee
after a time, I began to think, lust
what there was in what the lady of
'he farm home had to say, and re-
peated to myself her words, ''Ne
iliance to exercise my tongue, BO
much silence."'
Perhaps, after all, the farm is too
lonely a place for the average wo-
man of to -day, and with the trend
of modern living • it will be a more
:oneeome place in the future unless
something happens to change ideas
and ideals.
Can anyone suggest a solution of
the problem?—L. Stevenson, 0. A. C.,

Handle Cream for Butter Carefully.
'bream may be a little sour, but, if
It in clean and free from foreign
odors and tastes, It will make fancy
butter in the hands of an expert but-
termaker. Cream approaching ran-
cidity and carrying. with it particles
of dirt, whiffs of undesirable odors,
and a taste of the barnyard or cellar
never loses its identity, The butter
it enters into is that which drags on
the market and sells at a 1.0w• price.
To argue that because certain neigh-
bors are careless with their cream
provides a reason why no one needs
to be careful is illogical. Produce
and handle your creain in a careful,
cleanly manner, deliver it frequently
and then demand a price in keeping
with the quality.

Didn't Take Long
Being the minister's__ daughter, I
had always been active in church
work. Later we moved to a larger
city. Instead of staying at home, I
went to a little town to care for
some invalid relatives. The nearest
church was two miles and no way
to go but walk, so I seldom went.
Two years later, after having re-
turned home, of course, I attended
church. At young people's meeting,
the president saw me in the audience
and said he would cut his remarks
short So as to give me time to tell
of my experience, because. of course,
there was nothing to do but confess
that I hadn't been to church a dozen
times since I'd been away.
I've never gone back there to visit.

that most of the people who are in
jail should be in jail, but he does not
believe that anybody should be in
such jails as are the rule in the Unit-

tion is,that people should be treated
as guards and wardens just as they
are trained to be doctors and lawyers.
He says that no outside experience
qualifies a man for this work, for the
warden when appointed takes a job
that is not like any other job in the
world, that nothing in his expeiience
can have prepared him for it. This

ASTOUNDING EXPOSURE OF
JAIL CONDITIONS
If "Crucibles of Crime," by Joseph
F. Fishman does not shock the people
of the United States as they have not
been shocked by a book since/Upton
Sinclair's "The Jungle" appeared, it
will only be because it is not as wide-
ly circulated. It is the story of the
American jail written by the man
best of all qualified to speak, for he
was for years the only United States
inspector of prisons. The reaction
of the average person to this book
would be sickness and horror to
learn that such almost indescribable
conditions exist and that in ninety
per cent. of the jails in the United
States human beings, many of them
not convicted of any crime, should
be kept in conditions worse than
those of the least valued of domestic
animals. Canadians will not be less
revolted. than Americans for they
may sR,spect that conditions in our
own jails are just as bad since many
of the conditions are the same in
both countries, We believe the aver-
ttge man would say that it would
be' better to tear down the jails,
stone by stone, and turn, the inmates
loose than to keep them in such
horrible surroundings.
The opening sentences of the book
are arresting:—
"If were•asked to give a defin-
ition of the word 'jail' I think the
following would be about as accur-
ate as I could make it:—
"Jail: An unbelievably filthy in-
stitution in which are confined men

visiting the
United States. They ay he killed
Rasputin, the monk, the evil genius
of the House of Romanoff. If he did
it is improbable that he will admit
the fact to interviewers, though it has
been international gossip for years.
Without question Rasputin was killed
in the Youssoupoff palace, one of the
grandest in Petrograd. Only its walls
stand to-day.for it was looted and de-
stroyed by the Bolshevists: Whoever
did the killing his motive was patri-
otic. The deed was capable of even
ampler justification than the slaying
of Marat by Charlotte Corday. Ras -
unfit) was a degenerate monster
whose influence over the Czarina was
helping to ruin Russia. Youssoupoff
and his friends were patriots, They
knew that the removal of- Rasputin
would be fore the public good. They
knew it would be hopeless to try to
unseal the eyes of the infatuated
Empress. There was only one way
to get rid of Rasputin and they took
it. He was invited to dine at the
Youssoupoff palace, a woman being
used as the lure, for the monk's
fondness for women was notorious:
There are numerous accounts of
what happened after the filthy monk
arrived, so we choose the most lurid
for the delectation of our readers.
After salutations, Rasputin was of-
fered cakes and wines which had
been heavily adultered with deadly
poison. He consumed them both
with apparent relish, to the aston-
ishment of his hosts, some of whom
may have begun to think that there
was after all something supernatur-
al about the monster. Then they
invited him' into the famous picture
gallery, which was perhaps the
greatest honor that could be bestow-
ed upon any Russian. Once inside
the half-dozen men in the plot drew
revolvers and proceeded to empty
them into. the monk's body. The
victim showed enormous vitality.
He seized Prince Youssonpoff and
tried to strangle 'him. He war
beaten down by revolver butts.
Again he arose from the floor and,
streaming with blood, renewed the
struggle. More bullets were fired
into him, and when he seemed dead
he was put in an automobile. It is
said that in the ear he revived once
more, and thathe was still .strug-
gling when his body was thrust
through a hole cut in the ice ma the
Neva River.
The cold water completed the
work which had been imperfectly
done by poison and bullets and Ras-
putin was no more. News of what
had happened spread, and to show
his displeasure the Czar sent Prince
Youssoupoff and his companion,
Grand Duke Dmijrt, to " the Cau-
casus to serve under the Grand Duke
Nicholas. It was only a few weeks
later' than the revolution broke out,
it having been hastened perhaps by
the death of the monk. It may have
been because of the killing that the
Bolshevists permitted' the Prince to
live among them for two years after'
they had seized ° power. In' the end
he had to run for it, after having
first, so it is believed, transferred
many of the great art treasures of
his picture gallgry to safe 'quarters.
A couple of years ago Joseph E.
Widener, the millionaire Philadel-
phia traction magnate and art col-
lector, bought two Rembrands,
which, it was said at the time, had
come from the Youssoupoff galleries.
The Prince denied the story, and
Frederick- Cunliffe -Owen is author-

ures are now in the vaults of two

The Youssoupoff art collection was,

concealed his gratification, but the
dinner took place,_ in the course
of it, the Czar asked to . see the
paintings. The Prince objected and
said that Indy if 'the Czar gave a
direct order would he.open the gal-
lery. The order followed. Then'. the
old Prince begged as an act of spe-
cial favor that only the Czar and
the Czarina and the Prince and
Princess should see the paintings,
and nope' of the entourage. This was
agreed to, the thousands of wax
candles were lighted' and for two
hours the old Prince and his royal
and unwelcome guests examined the

Judged from his /photographs, the
Young Russian Prince is a striking
looking man. ,There is something
romantic in hid appearance which
may be due to the fact that far
back, he carries a cross of Tartar
blood. One of his ancestors, so the •
books say, was Mahomet.' He was
educated at Eton and Oxford at the
same time as the Prince of Wales,
who is one of his friends. He is in-
terested in art and music. It is

So Different
One morning on answering my
front door bell I was surprised to
see a young man and two yonng
women with suit cases,' all of whom
were strangers to me.
The man said, "Here are your dele-
gates from the Student Volunteer
I was bewildered. I did not know
what he meant.
"I have your name here," he insist-
ed, "to take two delegate& Didn't
some one phone to you ahout it?"
"Some one phoned, yes," I said,
"but he asked me to make two jelly
cakes for the conyention, and I said
Then it dawned upon all of us at
once that what I had understood as
"Will you make two jelly cakes," was
"Will you take two delegates."
Christmas. Cake
A very good cake can, however,
be made without alcoholic liquor of
any kind, if the following directions
are carefully followed:
Cream half a cup of butter and
add gradually half a pound of sugar,
the beaten yolks of six eggs, two
tablespoons of lemon juice and a
quarter of a cup of grape juice. Mix
two-thirds of a pound of sifted flour
with half a teaspoon of salt, one
teaspoon of cinnamon, a quarter of
a teaspoon of cloves and a scant
half teaspoon each of grated nutmeg,
mace and' allspice. Add this to the
first mixture, alternating with the
stiffly whipped egg whites and stir
in one and a half pounds of seeded
raisins, half a pound each of shredded
figs and citron, and a quarter of a
pound each of minced -candied orange
peel and currants dusted with a third
of a pound of flour. Beat well,,turn
into a greased mold and steam for
three hours, then bake in a very slow
oven for one hour longer.
This cake may be baked instead,
Of steamed, although in that event
bake in a very slow oven for four
and a half hour's, lining the pan with
two thicknesses of buttered Taper.

"George," said his father, "I am
sorry to hear that you were among
those present at that disgraceful

with somewhat bleary eyes, "I can
