For breeding purposes ewes should be well grown, healthy and spirited - They should be sound in mouth aad artilking organs; should be frorn one to four years of age, and covered with densecoats of marketable wool. They shoeld be unifont in body lines, show- ing capacity for feed. at is highly Important that the ewes Witt good health, which Is indicated by:lively, energetic movements, by a bright, clean sin, deep pink except in occasional specimens or the dark -faced breed, -aod by bright eyes, with pretty of red' blood shown in the veins of the whites of the eyeballs. The best ewe for the beginner is from two to thre years old. At this age thee* are in their prime for pro - clueing lambs and wool. Having rais- ed from one to two crops of lambs they have less trouble in delivering their lambs and are better mothers than young ewes. -The wool is a very inaportant fee - Oh which too often is partly overlook- ed in seleCting breeding ewes. A ewe Yielding less than eight pounds should be discarded •uttless she ie an excep- tional produeer of lambs. To get a fleece of desirable weight, the body must be densely covered with weol. The pnrchaser should see to it that the belly is well covered end that the wool exten.di to the knees and hocks, and al- so over the forehead and cheek. 'The tleece should be even in quality, and to farm flocks should grade from one - tomtit blood staple to fine staple. In addition to its contraercial value a dense, compact fleece protects her health by keeping her skin„dry and by lessening the effects of sudden changes its temperature. Ews having capatioue bodies and straight body lines are likely to have well -formed iambs and to nourjeb. them svell. THE KIND OF RAM TO BUY. In the selection of the ram there Shonld. be Oren more are taken than in the ease' of the ews. rt is an old say- ing that "a good ram is halfthe flock, e.nd a bad one is more than half." If possible, a puee bead ram should be secured, because he will Impress his charaeterietios on his offspring in greater degree than will a grade, If e. suitable pure bred cannot be found, tho next best is' a rani from a. high- grade flock belonging to a man who '448 added his ewes carefully and who has used good pure bred rams of the sante breed for a number of years.

TERRIBLE AGONY FROM RHEUMATISM f.....rw,mmentaemome.• A IS ufferer Shows How Complete , Relief Was Obtained, Rheumatism is a trouble extremely difnelat to get rid of. If a tendeneY to rheumatism Is establithed in the system it makes itself manifest by a return of the acute pains with every spell of bad 'weather, This is Why so many people think the trouble is due to Cold or damp. The fact is known, however, to medical men, 'that with the appearance of rheumatism there is a rapid thinning of the blood, and that the rheumatic poisons are only expelled from the system when the blood is restored to its normal con.dition. This means that to drive rheumatism from the system It must be treated through the blood, and for this purpose no Other medicine has been so successful as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, These pills renew and enrich the blood, thus driving out the rheumatic Deleon, easing the aching, painful, swollen Joints, and restoring the victim to general good health. Among the rheumatic sufferers who have been cured by the use of this medicine is Mrs. Wm. Johnston, Chat- ham, Ont., `who says: "Some years ago, while living in Mega Fee.est. I was stricken with inflammatory rhea- matisna front which I suffered ter- rible agony. Neither the doctor who attended ine, nor elle remedies I tried gave more than a little relief for a time, and as a consequence, I grew very weak and was on the verge of nervous prostration. At this etage an uncle advised me to try Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills, as they had. cured him of a severe attack of rheumatism. I took his ailvice and faithfully used the pills for several months, when I found myself fully restored to health, with every yeatige of the rheumatism, and every symptom or the nerve trouble gone. I have had no return of either trouble since, and feel very' grateful for what Dr. Williams' Pink Fills did for me." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills can be ob- tained through any needthine dealer, or may be had by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brock- ville, Ont. Wi fZE BLAND. Little Country Has Been Most Useful of Neutrals. The war has perhaps brought no greater contrasts than those afforded by the crowds that entered Switzer- land 'before the outbreak of hostilities and those that row cross its border. There is no longer any steady stream of tourists. In the,ir place, exchanged French and British wounded soldiers croes the frontiers from Germany and proceed to the mountain and. lake re- sorts as "paying guests" of the repub- lic. Thousands of civilian refugees from the devastated war zone enter country in order to seglc repatriation and rehabilitation on the beloved soil of France. Others there are, German subjects, who as spies have entered only to abuse the hospitality of Swit- .zerland by means of ,their interna- tional Wettings; add still others, form- ing a small but significant group, who have found the fatherland intolerable and the welcome opportunity of rais- ing their protests in tolerant Switzer- lan d. Whatever the difficulties in entering Switzerland may be to -day, they were comparatively trifling in pre-war days, when tourists were welcomed with Open arms. Swiss regulations for for- eign traffic, though always more or less formal, itconvenienced the pas' senger by trainehowever, less than the passenger by motor ear. The holder of the "Passavant deseriptlf" or the trip- tyque was sublect to certaiii perfunos tory reeuirernents which the, holder of a "rundreise" railway ticket escaped. Entering by road by Basel, for in- stance, meant the satisfying of two) sets of officials, the mato= men and tha gendarnies. The traveler had to submit to certain infleXible formalities which alwaye appeared to be more or less superfluous to the obJeet of them, whatever they appeared to be to the cifficittie. If he were taetrul, (however, he did not fail to display the invalu- able qualities of patience, politeness, and that useful air .of taking every- thing for granted. The faithful ob- servance of such a. course probably served to accelerate thq prods& pro- cessee of examination and the sealing of the ear by such antiquated methods as a die and a mallet.

Four /tours only were permitted for the passage from Gond° to the end of the mountain oute at Brigua and the precious docurae,nt must be shown to every oa,dmender and official en route who might take it into his head to question he tourist's right to uee the pass. The rrival at Brigue atone brought any eal relief, for, front that point on, witzerland seemed to stretch itself ut along a lovely valley, inviting the ourist to the delights of travelling bY oad in Switzerland. It is the peculiar characteristic of witzerland that, after crossing its rontiers, one never appears to have, holly left the neighboring countdies ehind. The northern "gates" seem tointroduce one to a modifie,d Ger- any; at Geneva one is still in a rench-epeaking country; whilst the impression one receives upon entering frore the eouth, of still being upon Italien soil, is at first difficult to shake of1. The character of the seeeierY serves only to heighten the Illusion. autographically as well as physically, thO soil of Switzerland seems to invite the various melee of the earth to ake of the country a place of ren- dezvous where international differ - en003 can be forgotten.

While the rest .0g the world any- plained that trustworthy infermation about (Russia was not obtainable, be- cause everything corning out of that country was distorted one way or the other, Socialists collected a great deal of authentic Russian information for the guidance of their recent interna- tional convention at Berne. They went to the Bolshevikj themselves for the information, and having digested If they denounced the 13oisheviki rule. Though suppressing every Russian publication not friendly to them the Bolsheviki are great publicity artists on their awn side. They have their official and semi-official newspapers and various government organs cover Ing particular fields. It was from the Liles of these publications that the So- cialists compiled their report, taking nothing from non -Bolshevik sources, and giving the authority for their statements in each case. The Socialists were not interested in what the •Bolsheviki slid to the bourgeoisie and they paid no attention to that, their general idea being the more anybody does to the bourgeoise, or property owning class, the better. They were not interested in reports of Bolshevik terrorism, mareaeres, and so On, for they allow that muck disorder of that sort will usually aecompanY a revolution. They cenfined their at- tention solely to the result of Bolshe- vism upon the very class in whese ex - elusive interests it professes to rule - namely, upon the Proletariat, or urban wage earners. Socialists cendemned 43olshevism, because they found, Otit of its own mouth, that it was destroying the very class it is suPpesed to benefit At the expense of all the rest of so- ciety.. The Bolsheviki's own reports shoWed that the population of Petrograd had deolined about two -third, only about 80,000 inhabitants being left out of about 2,400,000. Population of Mos- cow had declined about 60 per cerit. In one group of Petrograd factories the number of Workmen had fallen /torn 277,000 to 120,000.

As to an enormous in- crease in the number of such officials five districts in one province now show 495 officials where formerly in twelve distriets there were only 275. No wonder Kautsky declared; "The great argument for Socialism is that it is more efficient than the capitalist system, but the Bolsheviki are under- mining this argument."

There was a curious air of desolation about them with their gunboat gray showing rust everywhere, their truncated nutsta, Cleared decks, and blackened brasses, As the ferry eteamed out of Ports- mouth, sortie four miles away tterose the Solent, they had a warlike appear - awe enough, but the nearer one tame to them the more one saw that their fighting days were over. But were they? May there not have been tunongst them aline of the old Cruisers which Joined in the now fa - run for geebrugge the ether night? Perhaps they are !Hyde boats Which now lie gloriously at the bottom Of the sea, blocking the way to the "nests of Drupe'.

Those sections of Canada having cool summers may hatch a week or two later than where the eummere are comparatively, warm. In that part of Canada be- tween the Pacific elope and the east- ern part of the Maritime Provinces heavy breede give best results if hatched by the and cie-A.pril, the Ugh. ter breede by May the 15 a. Early pullets not only give the good winter egg yielde but according to records • they compare favorably with hens in hatchtng reeelts bred last Year on the Experimental Farms shows that the fertility et the pullets was nearly 80 per cent, while the hens was 74 per cent. In the percentage of total eggs hatched the hens were a trifle ahead as they were also in the mortality of chicks hatched. The resulte showed that early well ma- tured pulletare the only kind for winter production and such birds make good breeders as well. Three chief obstacles to early chick are: 1 -Lack of fertile eggs at the right time. 2 -No broody hens (where natural means are used). 3-Diff1cu1ty of brooding° chIcks SO early in the season. Theee are all serious troubles, but must be overcome if the ,best of re- sults are to be seeured.
