Nail stout strips across the opposite corners to hold the boxes square and in place. s8et the mold or boxes on any level tloor or board and you are ready to make the blocks. The mixture for filling the mold is as Follows: One part cement and four parts sand if you desire a smooth block. If the rough surface is pre - ['erred use some coarse gravel or crush - ad stone In place of all sand. Mix the two together dry and add water until the consistency is jelly-like and a hand- ful when squeezed will hold its shape• Fill the mold, tamp lightly, let set for 1 very short tiune,.tap the outside box lightly with a hammer and lift straight ap. Small cleats should be nailed ou the outside of the large box for hand holds The surfaces of the boxes touched by the cement must be sinooth, kept clean and well oiled with any oil or -oft soap.

He had taken a number of pieces of tile from the bounditry brickyard in a buggy and when passing the McKen- zie blacksmith shop, which was being pulled down, his horse got frightened -at a falling board it Is thought. Mr. Trench was thrown out ; not, however until he received a severe stroke on the left leg. He thinks a piece of tile struck him. The result was a large and ragged gash on the in and ander side of the leg above the knee. The cut is eight or nine inches long and quite deep. Fortunately no arteries op cords are severed and under the doctor's care the wound is giving as little trouble as could be expected, It will, however, be some time before the patient is able to move about. Be- sides the cut he received a few painful bruises, DOUBLE OATE BETTEu 'MAN SINGLE. etc., in the joints as the work goes up. and in about twenty-four hours' time fill the post with the following mix- ture: One part cement, three parts sand and five or six parts coarse gravel or broken stone.

II, r)AI,RYTxPL1, Veterinarian l oulalatna Bxporlment. Station. From personal experience we are of the opinion that the chief cause of the greatest mortality among our bogs is internal 'worms or parasites of one kind or another, but chiefly the large thorn headed worm which infests the bowels. Worms are, of course, passed from the at!eeted animal on to the ground and are picked up in an imma- ture stage by other bogs, In the case of the large thorn head- ed worm it Is claimed by authorities that the egg is taken into the body of the larva or grub of the June bug and that the bog gets it by eating the grub, which it finds in moist places, as In the neighborhood of pools or ponds of stagnant water. Once a bog pas- ture becomes infected with worms, therefore, it is difficult to get rid of them unless the lot is plowed up or placed in cultivation and the water supply looked after or some mixture in the form of worm medicine is kept Where the bogs may gain access to it at all times. The following simple and inexpensive mixture, which may ,be prepared on the place, has been rec- ommended by the late Theodore Louis, a breeder of high repute in the north - Take siva bushels of corncob charcoal or three bushels of common charcoal, eight pounds of common salt, two quarts of air slaked lime and a bushel of wood ashes. 13reak the charcoal well down with shovel or other imple- ment and thoroughly mix. Then take one and a quarter pounds of copperas (sulphate of iron), dissolve it in hot water and with an ordinary watering pot sprinkle the solution over the whole mass and again mix thoroughly. Put this mixture into self feeding boxes and place them where the hogs of all ages may eat of their contents at pleasure. • We might add that quantities either greater or smaller than those given may be -prepared by simply observing the proportions of the different ingre- dients; also that this mixture bus al- ready been the means of saving many a pound of meat in the state. With reasonably good care of the an- imals ns to comfort, sound, wholesome food and pure water and the regular use of a mixture such as that above suggested, which is both n corrective and re worm.medicine, bogs should be maintained in a fairly sound 'and healthy condition. Raymond, aged five, returned from Sunday School in. a state of evident excitement. He strutted around the room as if about to burst with impor- tance. The sympathetic eye of his mother was not slow to observe this. "What's the matter, Raymond ?" she asked. "•Oh, mother," exclaimed the small boy, his eyes sparkling, "the superin- tendent said something awful nice about me in his prayer this, morning." "What did he say ?" "He said, Oh Lord, we thank Thee for food and Raymond," Wiring Empty Silos. "Wooden silos that stand empty dur• ing summer should be provided with guy wires," says a dairyman.

This Is a good deal easier than to tighten up the hoops from time to time as the staves shrink. The guy wires should be se- curely anchored." Rape For Cows. A great number of farmers grow rape for pigs and sheep, but think it of no value for cows. This is a mis- take. Milk cows like rape and do well ou it. One man who sowed a patch of' rape for his Iowa turned them in on it about the middle of July. He- had been feeding his cows some oats with the grass they recei�•ed. Now be took away the oats, and instead of losing In the amount of milk' they increased 65 per cent. The rape seemed to be just the thing they needed at this time The coWe must be turned into the rape patch in the middle of the day and then for only a short time at first for fear of the bloat. After- they become used to it they can remain in all day. There is no danger of taint in their milk from their feeding on rape. -W. D. Neale. Guesswork In the Dairy. Generally speaking, the average milker cannot guess within 1,500 or 2,000 pounds of the actual yearly pro- • duction of the cows in his cute. This leads to the conclusion that the at - .tempt to estimate the amount of milk which any cow may give by the full• ness of the pail is apt to be very mis- leading. It is certainly especially so when there is more or less foam on the, top of the milk. Anywhere from one to three inches of foam may be found on Ibe surface of the milk di• rectiy after drawing. The facai argue for the use of the scales if accuracy 18 desired. An estimate based on mere observation Is always unsafe and un, businesslike. Dip the Lambs. When the old sheep are sheared the ticks will leave them and go to the lambs; because they find better protea tion In their long wool. At this time the lambs should be dipped to destroy the ticks or the lambs the farther in. tends for the market may be unfit to sell on account of the reduction of flesh just at selling time. The coin merclat or tobacco dip may be used, and it Is a good plan to dip the iambs twice to make sure that they are rid of ttie pests, as a new lot are liable to get on them. The second dipping may be given about two weeks after the first -W. D. Neale. _.......-. ...... HAY FEVER. ,Neurotic Coryza Can Be Cured. Now isthektime to commence treat- ment.

It is certainly especially so when there is more or less foam on the, top of the milk. Anywhere from one to three inches of foam may be found on Ibe surface of the milk di• rectiy after drawing. The facai argue for the use of the scales if accuracy 18 desired. An estimate based on mere observation Is always unsafe and un, businesslike. Dip the Lambs. When the old sheep are sheared the ticks will leave them and go to the lambs; because they find better protea tion In their long wool. At this time the lambs should be dipped to destroy the ticks or the lambs the farther in. tends for the market may be unfit to sell on account of the reduction of flesh just at selling time. The coin merclat or tobacco dip may be used, and it Is a good plan to dip the iambs twice to make sure that they are rid of ttie pests, as a new lot are liable to get on them. The second dipping may be given about two weeks after the first -W. D. Neale. _.......-. ...... HAY FEVER. ,Neurotic Coryza Can Be Cured. Now isthektime to commence treat- ment.

There will be no cheap eggs in Cana- da this year. The prices of 19 and 20c a dozen in the country are the high- est on record. These prices are two cents higher than the prices last year at this time. Seven years ago any amount of eggs could be purchased at 10c a doz. At that time nearly all Ca nadian eggs were sent to England. Now there is hardly an egg goes to England from this district. The pro- duction is hardly enough to supply the •home demand notwithstanding that nearly every farmer is keeping more chickens than he did then. The demand from the western markets will surpass all records and we have already sent several million eggs there. Ca - dada is now the consumer of all the eggs produced in this country, and in consequence is more independent in establishing the prices. Ruined His Feet.
