CROPS AND LIVE STOCK.
A bulletin of the Census Office issued
on May 10th, makes the following re-
port on the crops and live stock of
Canada.
The seeding and growing season for
the whole of Canada has opened late
this year, and the month of April has
been marked by hard frosts. But May
has been favorable to cultivation of
land, and the rainfall has been sufficient
for healthy vegetation.
,Fall wheat, which is grown chiefly in
Ontario and Alberta, showed an aver-
age condition of 82 per cent at the end
of April, being 89 per cent in Alberta
and 81 per cent in Ontario. In Ontario
however the April frosts were destruc-
tive in some regions; and from 12 to 34
per cent of the area sown has been re-
ported as winter -killed. The central
counties, north of lake Ontario, suffer-
ed worst, the average loss as reported
being 34 per cent. In the southern
counties, north of lake Erie, the loss is
10 per cent.; in the northern counties
and districts 12.6 per cent.;
and in the eastern counties, be-
tween the St Lawrence and Ottawa
rivers, 15 per cent. For the whole of
Canada the area of winter -killed is re-
ported to be 21 per cent, and the per
cent condition of the growing crop is
82.
About 123 per cent condition of the
clover was heaved out by the spring
frosts, and the average condition of
hay and clover at the end of April was
89 per cent. Alberta shows better than
any other part of Canada, its average
being 94q per cent. Nova Scotia comes
next, with 93.75; and in Quebec, Brit-
ish Columbia and Saskatchewan the
condition is over 90. In Ontario it is
86 and in Manitoba 85 per cent.
The percentage of total seeding com-
pleted at the end of April 21.35 in Que-
bec, 44 in Ontario, 47 in Manitoba,
47.30 in Saskatchewan, 66.81 in Alberta
and 76.90 in British Columbia. Mani-
toba and Saskatchewan had 70 per cent
of the proposed area of spring wheat
sown at the end of April, and Alberta
and British Columbia 80 per cent. The
Maritime Provinces had scarcely made
a beginning of seeding operations at
the end of April, and in Quebec barely
one-fourth of the spring wheat, oats
and barley were sown. In Ontario 51
.per cent of the spring wheat was in the
ground, 44 per cent of the oats and 42i
per cent of the barley.
The report on the condition of live
stock is good for all the Provinces be-
ing -95 for horses, 92.43 for milch cows,
90.56 for other cattle, 93.32 for sheep
and 94.51 for swine. Alberta is below
90 for horses, Manitoba, Saskatchewan
and Alberta for milch cows, Manitoba,
Saskatchewan, Alberta and British
Columbia for other cattle, and Alberta
and British Columbia for sheep; but
generally the condition ranges about
90 per cent.
GOOD ADVICE.
In the course of an address delivered
before a young people's association at
Ottawa, Hon. George E. Foster deliv-
ered this piece of advice: "Don't in-
dulge in the cheap sneer so commonly
levelled at politicians; the gibe at poli-
ticians is the resort of those individuals
who think they are witty when they
are not."
It is a pity, says the Woodstock
Sentinel -Review, that Mr. Foster
could not take some of his own advice.
A man of undoubted ability, his very
Eczema Not a
Blood Disease
Per this reason internal treatments
fail' to cure -Success of Dr.
Chase's ointment.
Experience with the,,,use of Dr.
Chase's Ointment will son convince
anyone that Eczema is a disease of the
skin and not of the blood.
Mr, A. D. Macauley, Stornoway,
Que., writes, -"I had itching eczema
on my leg for over five years and tried
, many remedies and several doctors
1 without benefit. Dr. Chases Ointment
cured me completely."
Mrs. Chas. Gilbert Haystack, Pla-
centia Bay, Nfld., writes, --"I was a
sufferer from Salt Rheum for ten years
and was cured by eight boxes of Dr.
1 Chase's. Ointment, I am heartily
'thankful for this cure and want to
recommend Dr. Chased Ointment to
1 other sufferers.,'
Why not get the cure started fa -day.
If you are a sufferer from ecienta eLr
any form of itching skin dieeaea you
will thank the day you heard of Dr.
Chase's Ointment. 'ed eta. a box, all

TRE WtM IIA I TIMES, MAY 25, 1911
gifts of brain and tongue have operated
for the restriction of his influence and
his usefulness. And all because of his
failure to take his own advice against
sneering and jibing. The eloquence of
his tongue loses much of its effect be-
cause of its bitterness,
And yet he is right in his advice.
There is no use in either sneering or
jibing at the politicians either as a
class or as individuals. It would be
much better to treat them seriously.
Many of them are doing their best, and
are entitled to fair and even generous
consideration. If there are others who
are unworthy of serious consideration,
whose fault is it? Is it not the fault
of the people who elect them?
The remedy is not to jeer and to jibe,
but to bring more. honesty and intelli-
gence to bear on the selection or repre-
sentatives. It is not much credit to
any people of whom it may be said
that they jeer and jibe at the very men
they select to represent them and tran-
sact their business.
CATARRH CANNOT lir: CUKED
with LOCA AL PPLICATIONS, as they
cannot reach the seat of the disease.
Catarrh is a blood or constitutional dis-
ease, and in order to cure it you must
take internal remedies. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, and acts dir-
ectly on the blood and mucous surfaces.
Hall's Catarrh Cure is not a quack
medicine. It was prescribed by one of
the best physicians in this country, for
years and is a regular prescription. It
is composed of the best tonics known,
combined with the best blood purifiers,
acting directly on the mucous surfaces.
The perfect combination of the two
ingredients is what produce such won-
derful results in curing Catarrh. Send

Skin Transplantation.
Dedails of remarkable operations in
the domain of transplantation were
given recently before the German Sur-
geon's'Congress, sitting in Berlin. The
transplantations were of skin, mem-
branes, tissues, nerves, bones, and
even articulations. Professor Kuett-
ner, Breslau, reported that he replaced
part of a femure, including the joint,
with similar parts from a corpse. The
patient died from a tumor some time
later, and a postmortem examination
showed that the united bones had grown
together perfectly.' In two other sim-
ilar cases the patients were alive and
well. Professor Kuettner expressed
the opinion that it will henceforth be
regularly possible to transplant sound
articulation from corpses. Described
as the inventor of the above-mentioned
method of transplantation. Professor
Lexer, of Jena, gave an account of an-
other triumph in this domain. He in-
troduced to the Congress a lady patient
who had attempted suicide by drinking
sulphuric acid, and who had seriously
burned and constricted the oesophagus.
Dr. Lexer constructed an entirely new
oesophagus out of intestine and a piece
of outer skin, and grafted it on instead
of the injured organ. It reached from
the pharynx to the stomach, and prov-
ed completely successt'ul, the patient
being able to swallow solids and fluids
without difficulty. This is apparently
the first time that this operation has
been performed, as several other sur-
geons present gave accounts of unsuc-
cessful attempts,
THREE FRUIT.SALADS.
A simple Banana -Salad is made in
this way. Remove one section of skin
from each of five small selected bananas
in one -half-inch cubes and marinate
with a French dressing. Refill skins
with cubes and garnish with slices of
banana sprinkled generously with papri-
ka, Stack around crisp lettuce -leaves.
Another excellent fruit salad is Colo-
rado Salad. Wash both red and white
cherries, remove the stems and stones,
and cut in halves lengthwise. Remove
the pulp from oranges, Remove the
skins from bananas, scrape with a ail.
ver knife, cut in one -third -inch slices
and cut slices in cubes. Mix the fruits,
using an equal quantity of each, and
marinate with a French dressing.
Serve in nests of crisp lettuce -leaves.
To make a delicious Orange -Salad,
cut three oranges in sections and free
front seeds and membranes. Skin and
seed white grapes. There should be
three fourths of a cupful of pecan -nut
meats in pieces. Mix ingredients and
arrange on abed of romaine. Pour over
a dressing made as follows: Mix four
tablespoonfuls of olive -oil, one table-
spoonful of orange -juice, and half table-
spoonful of vinegar, one teaspoonful of
salt, one fourth of a teaspoonful of
paprika, 6ne eighth of a teaspoonful of
pepper and one tablespoonful of finely -
chopped cheese, Garnish •salad With
*trips of red pepper. 'The dreasing

An Investment That Pays.
The man of business who considers
carefully what pays many times during
his office hours, too often forgets to
ask himself what pays in regard to his
home life. He is careful to keep his
employees contented, and to bind his
associates closely to him, and yet he
overlooks the business side of marriage
and the importance of keeping his life
partner happy and content. Many a
man is generous, never questioning his
wife's purchases, but this is not enough
A wise husband will occasionally make
purchases himself for his wife. If she
is going out to dinner he will send her
a bunch of flowers. It will Mean far
more than if he had said, "Buy your-
self some flowers." She might perhaps
have chosen the flowers that harmoniz-
ed most perfectly with her gown, but
what of that? Every woman knows
the difference when asked: "Where
did you get the lovely flowers?" be-
tween answering, "I bought them at
So-and-So's," and "My husband sent
them to me," It is just such little
things that mean so match in married
life. A little money invested yearly in
flowers and Candy Will pay big divi-
dends in maritai happiness.

NUGGETS OF DAILY WISDOM.
The following words of admonition
are taken from an address by N. P.
Hull, of Michigan, president of the
the American Dairy Farmers' Associa-
tion, as delivered at the last convention
at Stratford of the Ontario Dairymen's
Association.
If a dairy farmer has a herd that is
i not paying he has it within his power
to make his herd yield him a profit.
I do not see •how a . dairy farmer
whose cows are not paying him a profit
can have the courage to look his wife
and family in the face or see the col-
lection plate coming on Sunday.
The hen pays once a day And slie is a
good one if she keeps it up.' The dairy
cow pays you twice a day.
When I started dairying I was up -to -
the -ears in debt and I didn't have to
lie awake at nights wondering if the
interest would be around on time for
his pay.
Some years hogs and sheep pay and
some years they do not. My dairy
cows have never yet failed to pay their
way each year and they pay cash.

ated cannot

THE OLD STORY.
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
"I expected to pay back, as they ail
do, when I started. I soon found that
I couldn't do it." Sounds familiar,
does it not? It is the age-old plaint oqf
the embezzler, the absconder, the min
unfaithful to his trust. Methods in
theft Change, but the cry of the thief
never.
How much happier mankind would
be if tempted men and women would.
stop and consider the irremedial error
they were about to commit! The first
step is easy; it is also easily avoided.
Other steps follow, each increasingly
easy. Then comes the awakening, the
crash, arrest, and a prison cell.
"I expected to pay back." There is
tragedy in the words; suffering and
disaster for the man, for his family,
and his friends -but a lesson for this
dollar -driven generation. For, "I soon
found that I Couldn't."

COAL AND MINERALS
FOR GROWING PIGS
In order, that pigs may be able to do
their best they should have certain
amounts of mineral matter, protein,
carbohydrates, fat and water, besides
an abundance of exercise, writes Wil-
liam Dietrich of the Illinois expert.
went station in the Breeder's Gazette.
It is a matter of common experience
that pigs that are fed an excessive
amount of coal are likely to bo trou-
bled with constipation. Whether this
will be entirely avoided by feeding the
right amount of protein and water is
not definitely known. At any rate,
the way these pigs "go after" the coal
indicates very clearly that their sys-
tems demand mineral substances. In
other words, their ration does not con-
tain some particular mineral mate-
rials that the body demands, The re-
sult is that the pigs eat the coal very
greedily because it is the next avail -
The Berkshire hogs here pictured
were prize winners at the Tennessee
state fair last fall. It will be re-
called that it was a Berkshire bar-
row that furnished the grand cham-
pion carcass at the recent interna-
tional show at Chicago. The Berk-
shires are wonderful hogs, and their
popularity is based on real merit.
They are good grazers, mature rap-
idly and produce a large percentage
of bacon, with hams and shoulders
that have high quality.
able substance. Under such condi-
tions there is a possibility that they
win eat too much coal: It is believed
that a limited amount of coal will do
no harm and might do some good, as
the tine particles of this substance get-
ting into the digestive tract might .ex-
ert
exert a stimulating influence and also
have a tendency to kill worms.
In the experience of the writer coal
cinders which result from the burning
of soft coal In the beating plant of the
university are very much relished by
pigs and will answer this same pur-
pose and are much cheaper than coal
itself.
In order to supply the necessary
mineral ingredients these pigs should
have, besides the salt and ashes, free
access to ground limestone or air
slaked lime, bonemeal or else rock
phosphate and charcoal. These vari-
ous substances might be put into sepa-
rate parts of a trough and set into the
yard where the pigs can have free ac-
cess to them. Inasmuch as different lo-
calities supply different amounts of
various mineral substances in the soil,
water and plants grown on the soil, it
is not known just bow much of these
various materials pigs require in such
places. Furthermore, the mineral re-
quirements of animals have not as yet
been very definitely worked out from
the scientific standpoint. This being
true, the writer has been able to get
good results by adopting the method.
as above outlined. Of course, besides
the mineral matter, they must also be
fed right in other respects as previous-
ly suggested.

Pasture the Pigs.
The pig that has been supplied with.
an abundance of pasture and a small.
grain ration during the summer
should :1vefgh from 160 to :175 Pounds
by the latter part of Beptember. A .
short period of heavy feeding will fin-
ish them for market' at 200 to 275
pounds in weight. Pork grown th. this
way will yield far more profit than
where tbe process is strung out longer
and the bogs are finished to heavier
weights. The cheapest gains are al-
ways made 'while the pig is young. It
is poor policy to starve and stunt a pig
':during the first few months, expecting
to make it up by heavy feeding later.
The 100 pound pig makes gains 20 per
cent cheaper than the 200 pound pig if
equally thrifty.
Good Stable Remedy.
Old Cows end young heifers, even
young calves, respond , speedily to the

it is a valuable remedy to keep on

this remedy makes it wore lively. Do
not think, bowe'fer, that bec'nnse it
