BOYCE PLUMBING AND HEWING ENGINEER BALD HEADS NOT worn). Baldness is Too Generally Con. eldered A Sign Of Ad. 'winced Age. A bald.headed person does not have an equal chance with one blessed with e healthy bead of bait, because bald. nese is too generally accepted as an indication of age, Many large cors porations have established an age limit, and refuse to take men over 35 years of age as new employees. Probably Ociof bald. beaded people may regain a good head of healthy hair if they will follow our advice and s.ccept our offer.

When making mincemeat, try grinding, the apples unpeeled, very fine in the food grinder. The work will be much lessened and the apples will have a better flavor... .For your loose machine band, drop on a little castor oil, then turnthe wheel quickly and the band will contract.... W fen making fruit cake heat your food cut- ter as hot as boiling water can heat it and fasten it in position and run your citron, orange and lemon peel through it while hot, and it will not clog. Repeat heating if necessary till needed candied peel is cut—. . A hot knife will cut soft cake and will not get sticky as a cold knife always will , ...When frying eggs put a few drops of water in two or three places after eggs are in the spider, and cover them a few minutes. They will not have any hard rims.... Quick route to nice ba -ked potatoes :—Prepare in .he usual way for baking, plunge into hoiling water that has been salted, cook rapidly until nearly done, then fiaish in the over. TIE ".AM A4N•: Fe* Sold. For $x0004 Slim time ago Richard JeIntosh, Pyre Ray, Bruce county, was out Wast and secured a silver grey foie, and since then he has been running a fax foam. A gentleman in Dutton having heard that he bad a valuable fax came up and offered birn $1000. The offer was too good to refuse, and the fox was shipped from 'Warton 1 tet week. Listowel By -Law Carried, Great efforts were made at Listowel on Tuesday, ILI* Inst,, despite the severe storm, which continued with unabated fury, to bring out the vote in favor of the furniture 13y.law, by which the Andrew Malcolm Fern': ture Co,, of Kincardine, aro granted ten years' exemption from taxes and free water on assuming the responsi. bilitiesof the Listowel Furniture Co. and undertaking to work the factory to its full capacity. Only four voted against, and four hundred and 13fty- five in its favor, or a hundred more than the required majority. Hydra Power For Farmers. Ron. Adam Beck when speaking in Guelph recently, said :— "One man runs an entire farm over in Germany and does it pretty well, too, with elec- tricity," said Mr. Beck, who explained how in that country by organizing themselves and building their own transmission Iines, paying other up- keep costs, the farmers can bring the power they have purchased to their own doors and with all their responsi- bility they are glad to get it at 7 cents per kilowatt hour. As a contrast to this, Mr. Beck gave in a few words the opportunity the Ontario fanner will have to buy power at Iess than tvs o cents per kilowatt hour, and hoe e someone else undertake the expense and responsibility of building tr arts - mission lines and transformer stations. The price will be 187 cents as stated if the farmer can use three horsepower for 10 hours a day. The plan in which power 18 supplied is this : -From each - line a strip rf territory eight miles wide can be covered ,to supply fai with 'hydro.' The current is stepped down from 10,000 volts to 2,200, and then at the transformers from that to about 100 volts., This cannot be done at once, but when more distributing stations come into use. "All these things are available to you without undertaking any of the liability as is done by the farmers in the old 'anti-; it is all undertaken by the province," said Mr. Beck. EASY TO GET RID OP DANDRUFF. Dandruff means that dotan near tl e roote of your hair there is a vast army of little invisible germs of microbes. And this army never sleeps ; i wages a war of destruction night az d day. It destroys the nourishment that the hair must have in order to grow vigorously and abundantly. PARISIAN SAGE now sold all over Canada will destroy these germs and at the same time furnish the hair roots with just the proper nourish. nient to make hair grow lustrous and luxuriant, PARISIAN SAGE is guaranteed by J. W. McKibbon to banish dandruff, stop falling hair and itching scalp or money back. It is a delightful hair dressing that wins instant favor with refined women. Sold for only 50e a large bottle by 3.

IE NOX, MO.. To the average reader, Mr. Haughton Lennox, K.C., Member of the Late House of Commons, will probably bulk more largely to date aa, the than who put up the strong fight behind hie amendment to the Railway Act to prevent companies Contracting themselves out of liabilty for death or injuries to their employes. Mr. Lennox who is a native of Innisfil township, in Simcoe County, Ont„ began the practice of law in 1875 when he was twenty five years old, IL Ur'GIITON LENN OX Bartle Lawyer and Politician and in course of an all round suecess- fu1 career has made his mark, with more than a local reputation, as a handier of criminal cases. In 1900 he hit the political trail as a can- didate for House of Commons honors and came out an top, re-election fol- lowing In 1904 and 1908. Mr. J. F.MUNRO Of whom Pembroke is proud Mr. 3. P. Munro, president of the Massey Lumber Company, with head- r,uarters at Pembroke, and a can- didate for parliamentary honors in North Renfrew is one of the many self-made men, men who have climbed high from a very lowly position round the roots of the tree, of whom Canada is so justly proud. Today, numbered amongst the largest ratepayers of his town, Mr. Munro is not of those who take each and every apportunity to cover up the fact that he was not born amongst big bank bilis and much gold. On the contrary he recalls with a degree of satisfaction that he began in the ranks of physical work- ers, and is not averse to pointing his friends the location where with pick and shovel he helped establish the Pembroke water system. A native of Fitzroy harbor he migrated to Pembroke in 1890 when, seventeen years old, and 'so deter- minedly did the farmer's boy set to work that ere many years had elapsed he emerged from the laboring level to that of_an employer. That was not quite ten years ago, and today Mr. Munro is in the proud position of being head of the Massey Lumber concern, vice-president of Pembroke Woolen Mills Ltd., director of the Lee Manufacturing Co., and of the Pem- broke Electric Lighting Co., and a stockholder in various other concerns of standing in the district. Mr. Munro is a, Liberal and a strong supporter of the Georgian Canal scheme. Mrs. E. L. JONES The growth of the club movement is one of the outstanding features in connection ' with women's work in Canada at the- present day, and the ladies in combination bid fair to exer- cise considerable influence in many directions for the general weal of the districts in which these clubs are located. Some indeed already aim at wider field. That of Winnipeg, for instance, of which Mrs. E. L. Jones is et once a charming and business- like president, aims at securing from the Government, an expansion of the .l!oinestead Act so as to recognise the right to its benefit of all British norn women who have attained their twenty-first birthday. Such privilege is enjoyed south the line, and Presi- dent Mrs. Jones argues, with show of :Mrs. Il,`. L. IOUS, S, Winnipeg Women's Club reason, that l3ritish Willett ought to be similarly circumstanced. It intiy be added that the Winnipeg club was the second formed in the Dominion. A $6000 Calf. W4 i14 Pitchener, of Oconomowoc, Wliseonshtf, rtes the atzeceesful bidder for the calf born four creeks ago to Dolly Dimple, the most valuable cow in the world, which is the property of l�`. Latlaorp Ames, of North Easton, Massachusetts, The calf brought $t1,- 000 after spirited bidding by stoeknien from all parts of the eountt'y, It will be shipped West whenn six months' old. 1$0000000000000000000000000 FAR11 AND FIELD OAND FIELD 00000000000000000000000000 LOCATION Or STACKS Improper Situation Nay Result In Considerable Lens to the Farmer The locatioai of stacksle important both to the farmer and thfesb.or. A stack never should be placed on a side hill, unlees absolutely unavoidable. This is decidedly a wrong location, In the first plass, difficulty arises in building a stack ose eloping ground. Nat infrequently a load or two of sheaves upset while turning to get close to thestack, and nurnbers of other troubles come, Buell as the stacks sliding out to the lower side or taking a sloping position when set- tling. But this is not all. The thresher comes along and attempts to set his machine on a eloping ground, Time is lost in setting, and sometimes a very poor set is made. The machine will not run properly unless it Is sitting level; bearings heat, parts knock and rack, often causing delays, All this is expensive to the farmer, who is not getting his grata threshed and is boarding a big gang of men, The threehermarl often gets out of patience and loses heart in trying to make his maehine work properly. Grain is. frequently lost in the straw when the machine is not sitting ,eve1. Many losses are due to an improper choice of location. Another unde- sirable plixce for stacks Is In a hollow, where the engine must stand with the front end down a, hill. The ideal plo,ce for stacks is on a level or hlgh4ground. The separator can then be set easily and is . the engine hats to stand wFth its front wheels a little high, no harm is done,. or the front wheels can be lowered much easier than the big back drivers. Stacking is not an easy operation of farm work, but Is indispensable on many farms, Green Bone for Chickens. Phospll.artie compounds are very ne- cessary for the building up of the bones, and thus they must be pro- vided during the growing period of tt chicken's life. Although nearly all foods used in feeding contain a certain quantity of phosphorous salts, ,at the saiiin• time int is usually found advanta- geous to feed au additional subatauce made up largely of this element, When. the chickens have a free range, and are able to gather : natural food, con- sisting of grubs and insect life, the necessIty for feeding this phosphatic ]material is not so apparent. As phos- phorus compounds are for the most part insoluble, the number of ways In which it can be fed is Iimlted. The best substance that can be used is fresh out green bones, or, in other jvords, uncooked bones of the sorter form cut up in small pieces. A feed of this, given three or four times a week, ensures a sufficient supply of this material for all the needs on the part of the body. Power Required for Silo Filling. For a silage cutter with a blower attached, plenty of power is needed, says a well known farmer The blower must be kept clean by a strong blast, or else it will fill up and stop elevating. Small gasoline engines of 4 to 8 h. p. can be used better on cutters which have chain or belt con- veyors. They will cut and elevate 3 or '4 tons an hour for each rated horsepower. Steam engines will do better, since they are rated lower. An engine of 12 to 20 h. p. should be used with a blower, Down With the Weeds. It's an unfortunate thing for the farmer that the best time for cutting down weeds -- flowering time, before they ripen for seed -- comes at the time of year when he is hard pressed by other work. Yet even so, it will undoubtedly pay him well to attack them vigorously at odd moments with scythe or sickle. A few moments after supper, for example, in cutting down the myriad foxtails (or skunk - tails) which abound on the edges of fields' and roadsides, near many a farmer's land, would save him a sur- prising amount of trouble and ex- pense in time to come. The amount of damage done to horses, cattle, and sheep by this weed, not a difficult one to keep clown, is incalculable. It generaily ripens before haying, too. Where the Farmer Scores The conditions of the farmer's life give him many advantages which the richest city dweller cannot be sure of getting. He knows the milk, and cream and butter, which he and his family consume are fresh, and free from disease germs, for he has sole control of their production. 1 -ie has plenty of fresh eggs, and he can com- mand as many prime dairy -fed poultry for his table as he wants. His rod i and gun often supply his table with the best of fish and game. He can grdw the best vegetables in unlimited variety and abundance at the lowest of cost. .And the fresh air and bis family enjoy enable him to laugh at tuberculosis, the white man's plague and the scourge of cities. All /these huge advantages, and many more, the average farmer enjoys, and he has to miss them before he fully appreciates their worth, Export Beef. The supply of beef cattle from Canada and the United States to the London market Is decreasing, owing to the scarcity of cattle in Canada and the increase& demand for fresh meat in the United States. The above information was obtained from a report issued by the Central mar- kets committee of the corporation of the City of London. f oiling Make x Fide Hay Fine hay can be made by coiling It the same day it is cut, and allowing it to stand for a couple of days, Then if the weather is favorable, haul to the barn. Coiling, however, entails a lot of extra labor and does not give a igood chance to use the hay loader. - Enlarging The Farm., The farm neat the city of ttielph known 'as the old Patterson farm, has been gold by the owner to the Pror- vinebl.I Government. her aril 100 acres, and the price was $125 per acre, The Ontario Agrietlltural College has been cramped for room for some time past owing to the increased experi- mental ental plots, and this is a .fore. runner, It is understood, of other farms which will be added to the Ontario experimental farm r _1,'_ 4.MiHnIM4, .•.ISARD'S.•.
