If bother- ed with stomach trouble or bilious- ness, try Dr. Hamilton's Pills. They are so mild you can scarcely feel their action, yet so effective that the entire system is cleansed of waste. Dr. Hamilton's Pills move the bowels gen- tly, they tone the kidneys, assist digestion, clear the skin. For those subject to colds, biliousness, languor there is no better medicine. Try a 25c box of Dr. Hamilton's Pills. Get The Best. It Pays. One School that stands at the head 'in Thoroughness, Popularity and Genuine Merit is the ELLIOTT // TORONTO, ONT.

Morris Quatzam, an eleven years old Windsor boy, has just died as the result of a scratch on his wrist. Poison entered the wound, which was caused by falling off his bicycle, and despite the physicians, the boy died. Such incidents as these—by no means in- frequent—ought to make people realise the danger that may lis even in the smallest flesh wound. Take a simple illustration. When a dirty knife, or rusty needle, a splinter of dirty wood, a barbed wire fence, or a thorn, scratches the hand, the latter is inoculated with germs, of which the air about us is full. Directly these germs are introduced through the breach in the skin, a battle royal ensues between them and certain organisms in our blood. When the invading germs are too strong for Nature's defences, in a few hours the finger will become hot and throbbing A little later the wound may exhibit a whitish appearance in the middle of the swelling, and we have what is known as a festering or poisoned wound. The way to avoid such serious re- sults is to cleanse the wound and ap- ply Zam-Buk. Zam-Buk is a powerful yet painless germ killer, and when applied to the broken skin is absorbed into the tissue, instantly destroying the germs that spread disease and inflammation. The flesh is thus soothed and puri- fied, the wound made perfectly heal- thy, and all poison and cause bf featcr- ing removed. Having clone this, Zam- Buk then proceeds to heal the wound or sore with new healthy tissue, in a quick, painless, and perfect manner. Zam-Buk must not be confused with ordinary ointments. Zam-Buk is a unique preparation, possessing anti- septic, soothing, and healing qualities that are not to be found together in any other preparation. It is not only a unique healing balm, but it is also a skin food. For all skin diseases are injuries—cuts, bruises, burns, eczema, chaffing, ulcers, ring- worm, etc., it Is without equal. It is also used widely for piles, for which it may be regarded as a specific. All druggists and stores sell at fifty cents a box, or post free from Zam-auk Oo., Toronto, for price, Londesboro. (Too late for last week.) Miss Belle Fairservioe is visiting friends in Milton at present. W. Brown and S. McVittie have the contract of filling in the abutment's of the newly -erected bridge on the lst slderoad. It is our sad duty to announce the death of one of the most respected young men of this township, in the person of Mr. Arch. Watt, which took place ou Sunday of last week. De- ceased had been ailing for some time, but up till about two weeks ago was able to be around. His death was due to inflwmation of the spleen. He had only joined the Order of Foresters about six months ago and also belong- ed to the Londesboro Orange Lodge, The funeral took place on Tuesday and was an exceedingly large one ; he wasaburied by the Orangemen.

EOYGli -Sola Agent 8lugham FARM NOTES. Keep out of debt if it is a poem fe tlilrag. Molasses is Doming more into favor as a stock foed, Get the corn busked before the snow dies. Push the work, Pick your brood sows from the pigs that belonged to large litters, Let the rams run with the sheep only during the breeding season. It will coat you less to buy the dip for the hogs .than to feed the lice, Dip the hogs and clean up the pens if you want to keep them free from lic4. Keep your horse from bolting hip food. Mix the grain . food with hay cut in short lengths. BJxcept in southern localities it is safer to plant fruit trees and straw- berry beds in the spring. Examine the horse's feet occasion- ally and be sure small stones do not become wedged in the shoes. Don't store the vegetables too early. Wait for weather verging on the freez- ing point, then, get them in quickly. Some farmers have po many places for their tools that it b hard for them to know just whore to look for them, Is the strawberry bed as clean as it should be? No weeds ahoultt be there when putting on the winter mulch. Tea made from buohu leaves Is rioommended for horses having' kid- ney trouble. Doae, two ounces night and morning. Look out for the stook during the cold. sleety rains of the fall. Provide shelter fir them, or exposure will Bost you dearly. Let the crops you failed to get this year help you to better things next year. Learn your lesson and proat by the disappointing experiences. If it is light, dry and wind -proof the house will prove good for poultry, no matter whether it measures up to modern ideas of poultry achiteeture or not. - Some farmers are so shiftless that they will let young pigs sicken and die right under their eyes as a result of lice, and will then wonder why they hare such poor luck. Pick up any new ideas at the fair? rest them out on the farm and make them work for you. The new idea 1s valuable only when you put it into the concrete form of action. Get the bust ewes you can buy, if you find pleasure and profit in sheep raising. Sheep are reasonably cheap this fall. In buying look well to the size, form and , texture of the wool coat, In tests. with asparagus in France it was partly concluded that the green sprouts have the best flavor, and this was believed to be due to the pres- ence of the chlorophyll, the green col- oring matter in the skin, The farmer who spends all his time at the state or county fair at the amusement booths and upon the race track is the farmer who goes home without any new ideas or any ambi- tion to raise better livestock. Kill pea and bean weevils now by putting these seeds into air -tight ves- sels and fumigating them with bisul- phide of carbon. If the infested beans be not fumigated now, the weevil will continue to feed in them and ti, mul• tiply all winter. Partners are generally to blame for the spread of hog cholera because at the first suspicion of the outbreak of the disease the afflicted animals are not isolated from the rest of the herd and the hog quarters changed and the old quarters disinfected. The stronger friendship you can oultlyate with the colts the easier will you And it to train them and the more willing servants will they be- come. Get them into the habit of looking for the bit of sugar or other tidbit. Speak gently to them and pot them. Now is the time to sort over the chickens, if you have not done it be- fore. Select the most promising for breeding stock, ptit the culls by them- selves and fatten for market. Don't winter a single chicken more than you can accommodate and surely not one that will not turn you a profit. The general rule is that the Work horses during the busy season should receive two pounds of feed for each lee pounds of live weight, the heavi- est feeding being at night. But ono must not forget that the individual characteristics of the animal must be considered in determining the propel+ ration. Platt the Work to that Sunday is not made a day for picking up the loose ends of the work dropped during the week. We know malty a farmer who tries to ,still a consclence troubled over Sunday Work by the plea of the necessity 'of the Work, When fit reality the neebstity has arisen only because of careless, ehlftleti methods durb t oast 'kook.
