V.M+ Wan Ebitortat -That kidneys can be successfully transplanted from one cat to another has been demonstrated at the Rocke- feller Institute for Medical Research, and the official organ, in an article discussing these experiments, says that soon it will be possible to per- form similar operations whereby one of the vital organs can be transplanted from an animal's body to that of a human being. Now that the results have been successful, it only needs an emergency to bring such an operation about. Fourteen experiments by Alex. Carrel last year resulted in five failures only, and these through un- favorable conditions, and the cats re- covered in from 3 to 36 days. ** 4. The first Canadian coin to be minted in the Dominion were turned out at 3 o'clock Thursday afternoon. They were made at the new Ottawa branch of the Royal Mint, which was official- ly opened by his Excellency, Earl Grey. His Excellency merely de- clared the mint open, and started the machinery which coined the first fifty - cent piece. The stamping machinery for the copper cent piece was also started, and a souvenir copper coin was presented to each person present. The mint will be kept in daily opera- tion from now on, and will furnish a ready market for the product of Cana- dian copper and silver mines. It is the intention of the Government to build a refinery in connection with the mint in order to insure that gold and Copper which 10 brought in for mint. ing will be of the proper degree of purity for coinage. ** -The Chicago Tribune says there is money in utilizing hardwood waste, One concern in Michigan has estab- lished a plant to use up slabs, tops, butts, and limbs, and from one cord of this material there is made ten gal - Ions of wood alcohol, 0811 per cent. be, ing pure; 200 pounds, of acetate of lithe, quicklime being added for this purpose, and fifty bushels of charcoal. ;very prodnct of the wood except the charcoal passes off .in the form of gas,' and is reduced by distillation.

Tho Bell Telephone Co. hasfixed the price it will accept, and a meeting of its shareholders has been called for Friday, Jan, 10th, to consider, and if deemed advisable, to authorize the directors to sell the property and assets, together with the liuciness of the company In the Province of Mani- toba, as a going concern. Should the sale take place, the enterprise will he watched with interest, as there ap- pears to bo agrowing tendency to- wards Government ownership of snob utilities as the Telegraph and 'Tele- phone system. If the Government can successfully run the Postoffice in the interests of the people, why not the Telephone, the Railways, and the Express Co. INCREASE OP CUSTOMS TAX. In 1893, when the Liberal conven- tion protested against excessive taxa- tion, the customs taxes amounted to $21,161,000. In the year that' Sir Wilfrid took office the customs taxes had been re- duced to $20,219,000. Five years after Sir Wilfred took office this taxation had increased to $29,107,000, Another five years brought it up to $10,071,000. The eleventh year finds the taxation $58,061,000. Here we have the Canadian people, whose number has increased by less than one fifth, paying almost three times the amount of customs taxes that they paid eleven years ago. Every family paid in 1905.6 more than twice as much as it had to pay ten years before, only to find an additional eight dollars per family imposed in 1906-7. Sir Richard used to say that the country was "bled white by taxation." But the lance never got its work in so well as now. A BARREL OF FLOUR. ' What It Tells Of The Possibilities Of The Future. The Hamilton Spectator received as a Christmas present a small barrel of flour all the way from Fort Vermil- lion, in the far Northwest. This may not be of much pecnniary value, but it means much, for it tells of the pos- sibilities of further development in the Canadian West,' far to the north. The flour in the little barrel was made from wheat grown in the Peace river country. The Hudson Bay Com- pany's mill in which the flour was made is the northernmost mill on the continent. It is situated at Vermil- lion, in the Peace river region, 700 miles north of the United States boundary, 400 miles south of the Artie circle, and 650 miles west from Hud- son Bay, Fort Vermillion is more than 1,800 miles northwest of Winni- peg. On its journey from the mill the accompanying sample of Peace river flour traveled ' first some 300 miles in a Hudson's Bay stern -wheel steamer down the Peace river to Lake Athabaska and across to the mouth of the Athabaska river, thence by the Athabaska river to Athabaska Land- ing, nearly 400 miles, in a York boat. It was then brought by pack train 100 miles to Edmonton, and from Edmon- ton it traveled 1,032 miles to Winni- peg, and added 1.;200 more or so in its passage to Hamilton. It is worthy of note that wheat grown in the Peace river region took the first prize at the World's Fair in Chicago in 1893 ; still more remark- able is the fact that at the Centennial exposition at Philadelphia in 1876 Red Fyfe wheat, grown in the salve far end of the earth, as it was at that time regarded, was shown and receiv- ed a special first prize. The tneaning of the little barrel is that, after the G. T. P. will have opened up its new line to the north of the Canadian Pacific, and will have established its net*ork of feeders for the trunk, there will still be room for another "grand trunk" line to the north, flanked on both sides with the world's best grain land, well watered and capable of bearing huge crops of the finest wheat in' the world ; it means that the Canadian West has a great future before it, and that it will not easily be filled up.

EYESIGII'I S?ECIALISTS 237 Dlssilee Sf., dir Leaden, Oat Now is the time of year the farmer should be doing some had thinking. fie should know just what he has ac- complished during the year and bow he can use his experience to accom- plish more during the coming year. 51ost fanners lack In system, You should by all means keep a diary. It will only take a few minutes each day to make entries of interest, and you will find then invaluable in your work. If you are properly enthusiastic about your work you should consider this one of your first duties, and by no tneans a disagreeable duty either. �If intelligently handled, the diary should tell you just what progress you have made in every branch of your farm work during every season of the year. Have separate headings correspond- ing to each department of your work, and you will see whether you have ac- complished as much in each branch as you should have accomplished. Other- wise the work will have a tendency to be done in a careless manner, with the hope that in the end result may prove favorable, but with no absolute cer- tainty as there should be. You should also keep a cash book, where entries may be made each day. Have the system as simple as possible, especially at the beginning -simply a two -column page where you may note what has been received and what paid out. At the end of the year you will know just where you stand much better than you otherwise would, Besides, it gives you some basis for your next year's work, and such a basis is absolutely essential. No farmer can neglect a business system these days where the business man with a business system is so prominent. Farming is a business just as surely as any other line of occu- pation, and to bo followed with profit and success must be treated as a busi- ness. By faithful application, interest in the work will be increased many times and life on the farm will not be reduced to the monotonous grind which in many cases it has become. - Dundas Banner. Prevent Taking Cold. Often you come home, cold and shivering -feet are wet, throat is raw, chest a Little sore. A bad cold is just beginning. Put 13, Nerviline Porous Piaster on your chest, rub your throat with Nerviline, and take a stiff dose of Nerviline in bot water. This pre- vents a chill, and checks the cold in- stantly. No remedies so useful in the home, so sure to prevent serious illness, as Nerviline and Nerviline Plasters. Sold by all dealers, 25c each, but be sure you get the genuine, and refuse any substitute. COLD IN THE HEAD. The weather is blamed for colds these days, but many people forget, says the: Home Journal, that this is really winter, and are not wearing seasonable underwear. Put on your flannels. After that is done, try steaming the nose and throat with spirits of camphor or oil of eucalyp- tus. Put a teaspoonful of the oil in one-half pint of hot water, soak a sponge,,in this, and wring out as hot as possible. Hold the sponge to the nose and mouth and draw in the steam. Keep the head covered while doing this so that none of the steam escapes. Repeat this several times, and relief is sure to follow. A PAIN CRIPPLE. Tortured and Tormented with Rheu- matism and Sciatica -South Ameri- can Rheumatic Cure Works the Wonder. Mrs. John Fisher, Woodstock, N.B., writes: "I had been suffering for over three years from muscular rheumat- ism and on one occasion I had a very acute attack of sciatica. For several weeks I was unable to walk or attend to my household duties. Tried sev- eral remedies, and physicians failed to give me relief, I saw South American Rheumatic Cure advertised and bought a bottle. It did me a wonder- ful lot of good. Four bottles effected a perfect and permanent cure." (18) For Sale by A. L.
