Wool Is a product from feeding just the earn° as fat or flesh, and the flork ehould bq fed and managed *with a view to wool growth, and that of fine quality. Palatability is essential In a ration because unless the flavor and condi- tion of the food is pleaeing to the ap- petite of the cow she will not censunee sufficieut for profitable milk. Milk containing uniformly largo fat globules the most readily parts with its cream. The largest globules al• ways rise tint, n1lk containing small fat globules parts wit its cream very slowly and imperfectly. The warm milk as it comes from the cow offers a splendid naedium for the favorable growth• of all kinds of bac- teria that may gain access to it. In order to lessen this development milk- ing should be done as carefully and quickly as possible and the milk drained and eet away or separated. Oats and peas sown together make an excellent soiling crop. Successful raising of calves requires absolute cleanliness. Calf pens should always be kept clean and be supplied with plcihty of dry bedding. Discarded feed should be removed from the feed boxes, which should be thoroughly brushed and cleaned each day. All milk fed should be fresh and clean, whieh is true also of other feeds. Milk pails should 130 scalded thoroughly with boiling water, or sterilized with steam if possible. e During the early summer of 1917, several makes of potato -spraying machines were secured for experi- ments at the Charlottetown Expert - mental Station. A contest was arrang- ed, and the dates on which the sever- al sprayings would be applied were ad- vertised in the local papers. A num- ber of interested men attended prac- tically every demonstkation. On the 28th August, 1,300 people visited the station, and the majority went to the potato field to see the work of the different machines.- Late blight oc- curred in many parts of the Province early in the season, and the check plots that were not sprayed at this station showed very plainly 't h a t quite a =bad attack of the disease was pre- sent. • The contest was carried. on in duple. eate with Green Mquntain potatoes. Four aplications were made to each plot. The total cost of applying the bluestone and lime includes the cost of both man and horse labor. Unspray- ed- check rows were left at intervals throughout the field for purposes•of comparison. Lopg before potato dig- ging time, anyene could pick out these • by their dead, disease -infected tops. The. following results were obtained: (1)-A. four -row, horse -power ma. chine with one nozzle spraying down from the top and one on either side of the row, applied 80 gallons of 4:4: 40 Bordeaux to ;tee acre, at a cost of $1.65 per appheTelou without pole - on. The plots yielded at the rate of 194 bushels of marketable potatoes. or 62 bushels more marketable pota. toes than the corresponding un- sprayed check, giving a net gain over th& total emit of spraying, of $32.40 per are. (2) A four -row hose -power machine with one nozzle spreying down on the foliage of each row, applied 36 gallons of the same Bordeaux per *ere, at a oost of 800 per application. These plots yielded at the rate of 166 bushels of marketable potatoee, or 24 bushels more of salable ootatoes than the corresponding cheek, giving a net gain over the cost of spraying of 114,80 per acre. (3) A four -row hand machine with one nozzle spraying down, and one nozzhi spraying through from the side, emptied. 40 gallons or the same Bor- deaux at a cost of $1.00 per applica- tion, per aore. These plots yielded at the rate of 171 bushels of marketable potatoes, or 52 bushels more saleable potatoes than the corresponding check, giving a net gain, after deduct- ing the total oost of spraying, of e36 per acre. (4) A four -row hand machine with one nozzle spraying down on each row, applied 26 gallons of the •same Bordepux at a o oet of 70o per appli- cation. These plots yielded at the rate of 138 bushels of marketable Po - Woes, or 19 bushels more saleable • potatoes than the corresponding check giving a net •gain after deducting the total cost of spraying, of $11.45 per acre. Marketable potatoes were valued at 75e per bushel. The above cOntest clearly demonstratee the ad- vantage of thorough spraying, and the necessity of spraying 'the 1918 crop. A pig that has been stunted in the early stages of its life should never have a place in the breeding herd. Always teach a colt to lead by the halter and foretop, to be tied up and to have its feet handled. The only way to improve the hog or the farm at the lowest cost is by us- ing pure-bred males on well -selected BOW. The cheapest grains are always made on young animals. The cheap- • est mutton is made from grain fed to lambs after weaning. The most important effect of the proper ripening of cream is the influ- ence it has on the taste and odor of butter. Horse breeding requires more eapi- eel, is more profitable if successful and • involves larger losses if not than any other kind of stock breeding. No food ever given to a hog is so well invested as io fed to a sow suck- ling a litter of pigs, provided she is Well fed. Wool is the farm product which ^• brings the most money in proportion to what it takes from the farm and with least labor to the Producer, , Whether the corn: be of old or new growth, it must yield to Holloway's Corn Cure, the simoleet and best cure ever oftered to the public. A CONTRAST IN POLICE. As They Are Seen in Norway, • Sweden and Denmark. • In Christiania the policeman is a In Christiania the polIcemtn is a mild and amiable citizen in a rather shiny coat and none too neat, who stands in the middle of the roadway and tries to maintain some semblance of order in the democratic muddle of the city's traffic. In Stockholm the policeman is a walking arsenal, with sword and pistol and a brass helmet, and the arrest of a disorderly person becomes an act of state. There the policeman represents the high authority of a. proud country. He fulfils his duty with astern sever- ity. He is the symbol of law and established order. In Copenhagen the policeman is neither the happy-go-lucky citizen whc patrols the streets of Norway nor is he a creature of resplendent glory like his colleague in Sweden. He strikes a happy medium. In this he is an ex- cellent representative of a land where the art of sensible and peaceful living seems to have been brought to its highest perfection, where everybody seems weal fed, where beggars are as scarce as very rich people, and where the women live up to the best tradi- tions of the charming china which is made in the royal residence of Den- mark. -Hendrik Willem Van Loon in Century.

For some reason or other hie medicines did not have the desired effect. Mr. •Olts' brother was a merchant selling, among other medicines, Dr. Chase's Kidley-Llyer Pills, and he heard his customers telling about how they were cured of kidney derange- mehts by their use. This led to Mr. Olts putting them to the test, with the splendid results reported in this letter. Mr. E. C. Olts, Benton, Carleton County, N. B., writes ; "I am glad to let you know how much your medi- cine has done for me. I suffered from my kidneys, which at one time were so bad I could not lift a stock of wood 'without getting on my knees, and then would almost taint from the pain in my back. I consulted a doctor about It, and he gave me some medicine, but it did not help me. My brother, who is a merchant. and carries all your medicines, advised me to try Dr. Chase's Kidney -Liver Pills.

In construction there will be four Overed courts or basing each with an Inner exit that leads into the central fortress. These courts with massive gates at each end, will re- semble an ordinary rlver lock, and be as easily emptied, so that a submar- ine can be dry-docked in a few min- utes. This done, tile inner gates aro opened, and the crew will disembark and enter the fortress on dry land. Once inside, the gate behind them is closed, the basin is refilled the outer entrance is shut and again the fortress is hermetically sealed. There Is nothing very extravagant in this proposition; it is merely the principle of the submarine boat ap- plied to a submarine fort. AS to light by making use of the tides, currents and the ordinary hydraulic methods, the supply of electricity .will be more than can Ibo either wed or emoted. Now as to tbose forming the fort garrison. The modern diver is sup- plied with air by meanof a surfaee tube. There is an inventiop. however being perfected by which he will him- self carry' the air be needs in a knap- sack, to which will be fastened a bat- tery which feed an •electrta lamp. Further, there is no reason why the same electric current should not drive a small propeller. This achieved, the waterman, supplied with air, light and means of locomotion, will find a water fort as convenient an' as habitable as a land fort. Indeed, the conditions of • life will really be very little different. One great advantage the waterman • will have over the land -man is that he will be able to fly, or what is equiva- lent to it -and that without. wings. It Neill be arranged in this way. Weight- ed sufficiently to prevent his rising to the surface, he has only, to svalk from the central fortress "late the Inner court, which, svith the gate closed behind him, will then be filled with water. This done, the outer door will be opened, and he will pass out into the sea beyond. Dust Causes Asthma. Even a little speck too small to -see will lead to agonies which no words can describe.

Indepaudent of Moravia, it has an area of 20,60a square miles, and a popu- lation of about 7,000,000, of whom 4,500,000 declared for Bohemian and 2,450,000 for the GeralktIt langUage. The sister state of Moravia contains 8,580 square miles, of whom 1,868,000 are Bohemians and 710,000 Germans. The Bohemians have the lowest per- centage of illiteracy in the Austrian empire, less than 3 per cent, There are two great universities in Prague, the capital city, one German and one Bohemian. The people of Prague have good cause to hate the lIn.psburgers, far it has been the home of numerous execu- tions, confiscations and imprisonments, following the persecutious of the in- satiable Teutons, Who openly boasted that they would Germanize the Bohe- mians if they had to exterminate thorn. As these pereecutions grew the Bohe- mians emigrated ih large numbers to the United States, where they now number over 600,000, 'while nearly three. quatters of a million Slovaks, a sister race, are also located in the "land of the free and the home of the brave," Miller's Worm Powders act mildly, and without injury to the child, and thero can be no doubt of their deadly effect upan worms.

It is the hope pf every true Bohemian that before long their believed country will throw off the shackles of Austrian misrule and become e fortress of lib- erty. For three centuries the Bohdinians have resisted the brutal efforts of the Hapsburg Teutons to • Germanize their country, and, although in the very he,art of the central empires, they open - up display their sympathy with the entente allies, and Whenever poseible join their ranks against the Hun. The recent news that many Bohe- mians and Slovaks are now fighting in the Italian ranks is no eurprise. Ever since the war started there has been a Bohemian legion in the French army, recruited from London, Paris and the United States. In the old Russian army were two full divisions of Bohemians and Slovaks, who openly deserted from `the Austrian army to join the Russian ranks. The 28th Regiment, recruited In the city of Pragu,e accompanied by all its Bohemian officers, went over in a body on April 3, 1915. Many of them were subsequently decorated on the field for valor against their former tyrants. As a matter of fact, thousands of Slav soldiers of the Austrian Emperor refused to fight against their Slavic brethren of Russia and Serbia, and were transferrer' to the western front. From time immemorial Bohemia had been a battleground between the Slav and the German. The struggle for supremacy began with the fabled leader Cech, from wheal the people got their interne, afterwards corrupted by the Germans to Czech, • They dispos- sessed the Celtic tribe of Bea, whence conies the name, Bohemia, and from • that time became •an important state In Central Europe.
