In farming, such treatment must be accorded the soil from time to time if fertility is to be maintain- ed, and the best known implement for carrying out the work in a sat- isfactory manner in the plow. That this prime importance of the plow as an agricultural implement is re- , og•nized by leaders in that. calling in Ontario, is proved beyond question by the effort put forth by the Plow- men's Association, and under Gov- ernment auspices, to encourage pro- ficiency in the art of plowing, in the farming communities, and es- pecially in the youth thereof. Directly or indirectly the Ontario Plowmen's Association encourages and assists in the formation of all local plowing associations through- out the Province, with the aim of producing an interest tin the art that will result in improved condi- tion of the soil, increased crops and greater prosperity of the people of the Province. A second, but no means unimportant reason for the encouragement of local plowing as- sociations and the holding of plowing matches at local centres, is the op- portunity these minor contests pro- vide for bringing to notice the ex- pert plowmen in every section, who can be depended on to make keen competition in the great Internation- al Plowing Match, which is the final crowning outdoor event in agricul- ture in the Province of Ontario each season. In alternate years, the big event in Ontario plowing circles is held at an Eastern or Western point in the Province, and this year the place chosen is Brockville, which for four days, October 13th to 16th, inclusive, will be the main centre for all who are interested in horse or mechanical power plowing, or machinery of all kinds used on farms. NERVOUS DEPRESSION Why People Are Low Spirited and Depressed. Nearly all women and most men suffer at times from fits of depression and low spirits. Everything seems a burden; then come periods of nervous irritability, headaches and weariness. People who suffer this way lack vital- ity because their blood is poor and nerves are starved in consequence. The only way the nerves can be reached is through the blood. By en- riching the blood with Dr. Williams' Fink Pills the starved nenes are sup- plied with just the elements lhey need This is proved by the experience ;)f Vancouver, B. C., who sayst—"About three years ago I became very weak aud nervous. I had pains in my side and back, and also suffered from fre- quent pains in the back of my head and neck. I was hardly able to do anything about the house. I would wake with a start in the night and my heart would flutter so that it al- most choked me. I tried much doc- `or's m'edicine but it did me no per- manent good. One day I read about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and decided f o give them a trial. These pills pro- duced such a beneficial change in a qhort time that I kept taking them entil I had used a dozen boxes. By 'his time there was such an improve- ment in my condition that friends would ask me what I was taking, and of course I was only too pleased to tell them it was Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I am now feeling like a new person and am doing my own house- work. We would not now be without Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in the house." You can get these pills from your druggist, or by mail at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. A GOOD CANADIAN MADE IN ENGLAND "At 17 years of age I was a farm laborer in England," said Arthur Green, a British farmer of Cuchess, Alberta. "For a full year's hard work I earned 15 pounds, about $75.00. No doubt, had I stayed there, I would have been raising a family in poverty —would have been dependent on some other man for a meagre living, with no better prospects for my children.

That is the only way to im- prove conditions and the country in which we live. "Good honest effort is all that the country asks of you and a reasonable amount of ability. Canada offers big rewards, buts he also demands some- thing in return. No man has a right to expect success unless he is willing to give the best that is in him. "To the man who wants his own farm home; who is prepared to work faithfully and intelligently; who does not expect too great returns for his efforts, to commence with; who wants to raise his family in a country where real effort finds its own reward, I say, come to Canada." SKINNY MEN UN DOWN MEN NERVOUS MEN met Miss This You're behind the times if you don't know that Cod Liver Extract is one of the greatest flesh producers in the world. Because it contains more vitalizing vitamines than any food you can get. You'll be glad to know that Mc- Coy's Cod Liver Extract Tablets come in sugar coated form now, so if you really want to put 10 or 20 pounds of solid, healthy flesh on your bones and feel well and strong and have a com- plexion that people will admire ---ask any druggist for a box of McCoy's Cod Liver Extract Tablets. Only 60 cents for 60 tablets and if you don't gain five pounds in 30 days your druggist is authorized to hand you back the money you paid for them. It isn't anything unusual for a per- son to gain 10 pounds in 30 days, and for old people with feebleness overtaking them they work wonders. VEGETABLES FOR WINTER SHOULD BE STORED NOW Each year, at this season, great quantities of home grown vegetables are allowed to waste because they have not been protected from the frost, and later on even greater quan- tities are wasted because they have been improperly stored. Fortunately the home cellar is or- dinarily one of the best places in wchich to store the winter's supply of vegetables. It must, however, be dry, frostproof, and have abundant facili- ties for easy airing of the vegetable compartment. The loss of stored vegetables suf- fered by city dwellers is usually due `o the fact that they keep their cel- lars too warm and do not provide for 'he circulation of fresh air. It is sel- dom necessary to close all the cellar windows before December, and fur - 'her, when the windows have been closed it is not necessary that they should remain closed until April. Al- though the vegetable room should be thoroughly aired often, care must be exercised that the vegetables are not allowed to freeze. When your cellar is undivided, the corner farthest removed from the furnace should be reserved for the vegetable room. A portion may be partitioned off and rough boards only need be used for this purpose. Such a room should, for best results, in- clude at least one window on the sunny side of the house. This co7n- partment may be arranged in a series of shelves, and nails driven into points from which some of the vegetables may be suspended. Onions. Onions should be dry and well cur- ed before being taken in in the fall. Store, if possible, in an attic. Damp- ness in onions, especially causes de- cay. The bulbs should be placed in slat boxes which allow a free circula- tion of air through the whole box. Squash. This vegetable seems to be the most difficult one to keep, as it is very susceptible to cold and moisture and must be kept warm and dry. The attic will be found a better place for storage than will the cellar. They may he kept on shelves or in barrels packed in excelsior or straw. If, however, only a few are kept, they le y law s -les "I r Long Distance calls costing $4.65 sold 2,776 lbs. of meat for $688 —writes a Blather r can be covered with rugs or bags and will cause through the winter all right. IMMUNE TO POISON NOMADS CATCH COBRAS There sire many places in Calcutta where one can obtain a plentiful sup. ply of snake venom, and it is perhaps significant that Italy is one of the largest buyers of snake venom from India. A large consignment of snake venom accidentally was discoverede- ing dispatched to Italy the other day and on making careful inquiries a cor- respondent of an English paper in Calcutta was informed about the strange sourse from which this sup- ply coines, At the mouth of the Ganges,' the sacred river of India, there ie a large tract of marshy land called the Sunderbunds. More than half of this tract still is unexplored. In the Sunderbunds there exists to- day a tribe of snake catchers, purely nomadic, living on boats, who ply their trade between the marshes where the most veritamous of Indian snakes, the cobra and the krite, live, and the by - lanes of Calcutta where are situated the shops of the venom vendors. 80 to 85 per cent. of the total tribal strength consists of women, who feel themselves so much at home among the death -dealing reptiles as among human beings. It is remarkable that the members of this tnibe seem to possess im- munity from the poison of any type of snake, whether it be the dread hooded cobra or the spotted black snake. The English correspondent of "The States- man" says: "After watching a few tricks per- formed by the women with their cobras, cobras that had their poison glands intact and which struck at and hit the women on the face to their supreme indifference, and to my ab- solute horror, I parted with the tribe. Before I left though, I learned that the tribe was quite immune from the poison of any snake whatever. Cer- tainly, from what I witnessed, I did not doubt it for a moment." The women and men of the tribe have to resort to a trick, however, in order to catch the snakes. Most of the day the snakes live underground in little holes which they have usurped from the white ants or rodents—"like a cobra in a readily prepared hole," according to a common saying among Indians about persons who are too prone to allow others to work while they snatch away the prize. However, the reptiles have one weakness which is fatal to their ex- istence. They are music mad, especi- ally the monotonous music of the reed pipe or the gourd. The note of the pipe is the one thing on earth 'hey are unable to resist. When it is being played they must leave the safe harbor of their holes and go as near to the player as they can, and then sway to the rhythm of the music. If it is possible for a player to go on for hours on end, he will find in the cobra an absolutely perfect Iistener. To an ordinary mortal, not belonging to the tribe, there is the danger of being quickly despatched to the other world if he fails in his notes or his rhythm. But this is not a consider- ation at all for these snake catchers, writes a correspondent o fthe New York Herald -Tribune. They get to an island, surround a ikely shrub, and one of them begins o play on the reed. In about ten minutes the krite, or hooded cobra, is een gliding into the open toward the piper. It stops near him and, rais- ng its hood, begins to sway with the music. The piper waits till he feels hat the music has got hold of the erpent, and then he plays the pipe aster and faster, and runs it up as igh a scale as he can .in a great urst of music and—tbreaks off on the op note. The snake stands motion- ess as if paralyzed, and then the iper calmly walks up'to it, and catch - ng hold of it under the head, pushes A a ia LORD FAIRFAX WAS WASHINGTON'S FRIEND IDigging irf the basement of an old Epieeopaliart churah in Winchester.

Thomas Fairfax was the Baron' of Cameron and one o ty� high .nobility in England, It wet ,i,s cousin, Gen. Lord Fairfax wile the Cromwell armies and who , one of the great soldiers of his day. Thomas Fairfax was born to luxury and went to Oxford. After leaving he became the friend of Joseph Ad- dison, and its said to have been a contributor to the renowned Spec- tator. But if he was seriously in- clined in those days the spell was soon broken. He became one of the most riotous young noblemen of his time, not to say the most dissolute. Sport and excitement were all he lived for. He was rich, handsome and adventurous. The youth of the time envied him; the ladies in large num- bers fell in love with him. For some years Fairfax painted the town and country red. Then he reformed. It is said that he fell in love with a beautiful woman and for her sake foreswore all his old companions and vices, He had intended to marry the fair enslaver but a few days before the date set for the ceremony she broke it off, being what was known in those days as a jade. The blow almost broke Fairfax's heart. He be- came a recluse and spent his time meditating upon the hollowness of the society that once had flattered him. Lord Fairfax had inherited through his mother, a daughter of Lord Cul- pepper, certain lands in the New World. To be more precise, he was owner of five million acres in Vir- ginia, or about a quarter of the whole :tate. He had thought little about hese wild lands in the days of his :iiseipation but now his thoughts turn - ,d to them and he decided to pay them a visit. In 1739 he sailed from England. He found his vast estates being managed by his cousin, Sir Wm. Fairfax, whose daughter Anne, was later to become the wife of Lawrence Washington, George's eldest brother, and the first mistress of Mount Ver- non. He remained with his cousin for a year, and the life so delighted him that he determined to return to Eng- land, settle his affairs there, cut all ties with the Old Land and become a citizen of the new. This he did, giving away most of his English lands to friends and relatives and returning to Virginia he built Greenway Court in the Shenandoah valley, not far from the town of Winchester. The building was erected upon a green knoll in the wilderness and made of limestone which was plentiful in the ssA Says a writer in the New York World: When- the lord of the North- ern Neck settled in Greenway Court he was already past middle life. He was no longer the dashing dandy who had kissed the hand of Queen Anne. He was gaunt, raw -honed and near-sighted. He lived a soli- tary, care -free ,and eccentric life in the rustic palace he had erected in the forest. In a little stone house near the mansion he transacted the business of his almost unlimited estate; there he sold lands, collected rents, adjusted boundaries Med negotiated witb the Indians. The proprietor of_ Greentvay Court did not sleep in the larger house • he preferred to sleep in a little log cabin with his hounds, of which he had many. Lord Fairfax loved his dogs and his horses. They were part and parcel of his life; without them life would not have been worth living. The hospitality of Greenway Court was as boundless as the acres of the Northern Neck. Travellers, refugees, backwoodsmen, Indians, half-breeds, all ever were welcome at the board of Lord Fair- fax which was bountifully supplied with the choicest products of two worlds. -Slaves and servants stood ready to supply the slightest want of every guest. fax's, atf,entien. when" he aSsistial George Fairfax a nephew, in sonie serveyinge lie; was interested 'tin the elearnest, 'and neatness of ttea field notes kept by the Sleuth aml had 'him introduced.

It was, 'as one writer says, as good as a course in a , college for Washington, for he might have travelled hundreds of miles, 'without having the good , for- tune -to fall in, with so wise and ex- „perienced ceunsellor as Lord 'Fair- fax. As the trouble between England and the Colonies developed, the 'in- evitable parting of the two men also approached. Fairfax had no respect for the Colonial point of view, while Washington was already an Amelican patriot. While the struggle was on Fairfax took no part but remained un- disturbed on his estate praying for the success Of British arms. In 1795 the vast, proprietory rights of Lord Fairfax in the Northern Neck of Vir- ginia. were practically wiped out by the Legislature, ink that did not trou- ble the old Lord who had passed away three years earlier, st the age of ninety-one.
