BITE your name and address In the lines above, clip
out this ad, and mall it now. We will send, by
return mail, a boob that tells how to make yours a > -
"Twentieth Century" farm,
You wouldn't be satisfied to use a scythe to cut your grain,
when a modern harvester can do it so much better, would ybu?
Nor to use the old soft -iron plough -share that your ancestors
walked behind, when you can get an up-to-date riding plough?
Every Canadian farmer realizes the advantages of Twentieth
Century implements.
The next step is ="
' The 2 Y th Century aterial--Concrete
Concrete is as far ahead of brick, stone, or wood as the
harvester is ahead of the scythe or the riding -plough is ahead
of the old iron plough -share.
Concrete is easily mixed, and easily placed. It resists beat and
cold as no other material can; hence is best for ice -houses, root -
cellars, barns, silos and homes. It never needs repair; therefore
it makes the best walks, fence -posts, culverts, drain -tiles, survey
monuments, bridges and culverts, It cannot burn; you can clean
a concrete poultry -house .by ruling it with straw and setting the
straw afire. The lice, ticks and all germs will be burned, but
th.e house is uninjured.
' It is cheap—sand and gravel can be taken from your own e
farm. Cement, the only material you must buy, forms from
one-seventh to one-tenth of the whole volume.
' ; Do you want to know more about Concrete on the Farm?
Then write your name and address in the lines above, 'or on a
postcard, mail it to us, and you will receive by return mail a

�` "What the Farmer Can Do With Concrete,/
Not a catalogue, but a 160 -page book, profusely illustrated,

DRAINAGE AND DAIRYING,
tta speak;ng on this. subject, Prof*
W. II, Day eatd—"There is a direct
oonneotion between &abut get and
dairying, Draleage mteaus more abtsr. M
dant crops ; more abendaa,»ee in feed
spells cheaper productions of milk,"
Then the speaker proceeded to give
illustrations showing how greatly pro-
duction has been increased as a re.
suit of draztnaage,
John McIntagger't, near %%cin,
had secured 19 bushels more oats per
acre from low, net land, when drained
than he obtained from high dry lalacl,
Before drainagethe flat land gave
the poorest returns on the farm ; now
it gives the best,
.Folz A, MclYi allots, Petrolea, agured
the extra yield in oats in his ease, as
a result of drainage, at 1 bushels per
Acre.
. Id, McCaardy, Elgin county, drain -
ea at a cost of $17.50 per acre and ob-
tained from the drained land double
the yield in fall `wheat that he ot.
tained from other land.
And so on, case after case of like
nature being given.
The"re;asonx why" was also stated,
Drainage, when badly needed, makes
it possible to get on the land from
one to six weeks earlier in spring than
would otherwise be possible and early
seeding helps towards increased pro-
duction.
Drainage, by reducing evaporation,
causes the soil to warts up more
quickly and warmth is essential to
germination.
Drainage not only removes surplus
water early in spring but puts the
land in condition to hold more
moisture during the dry season of
summer, a loose soil holding 28 per
cent. more moisture than a hard,
compact soil.
HOW :'o FINANCE DRAINAGE SCHEMES,
Special facilities have been provided
for the financing of drainage schemes.
The Ontario Tile Drainage Act gives
to township councils power to borrow
from the Ontario Government any
sum from $2,000 up to $10,000 for
drainage purposes and to lend it to
land -holders in the township, for
drainage purposes, at 4 per cent., no
loan to any one person to exceed
$1,000. All loans made trust be repaid
by the borrower, as part of his annual
tax rate, payment being spread over
20 annual instalments. Principal and
interest coxae to $7.30 per $100 per
annum. On the average it costs $23
per acre to drain land. The annual
payment on a loan of $25' principal
and interest, under the. plan stated,
will be $1.81. per year for 20 years.
The mode of procedure in providing
for the raising of the money is ex-
ceedingly simple. A council can pass
a by-law authorizing the borrowing of
any sum from $2,000 to $10,000. The
actual borrowing by the township
from the Government takes place only
as the money is called for by individ-
ual farmers, and as soon as a farmer
borrows, the sums borrowed becomes
a charge upon his land just like his
ordinary tax bill. Township and Gov-
ernment are free of all liability as the
land of the borrower is good for the
loan and the borrower obtains money
for the making of a very necessary
improvement at an exceedingly mod-
erate rate of interest.
c'KEEP PEGGING AWAY,”
.Men seldom mount, at a single bound,
To the ladder's very top ;
They have to climb it, round. by
round,
iiith many a start and stop, -
And the winner is certain to be the
man
Who labors day by day,
For the world has learned that the 1
surest plan
Is to just keep pegging away.
You've read, of course, about the hare
And the tortoise–the tale is old --
How they ran a race—we don't know
where,
And the tortoise won,we're told.
The hare was sure he had time to
pause
And. to browse about and play,
But the tortoise got there first, beeause
11e just kept pegging away.
A little tail and a little rest,
And a little more earned than Spent
Is sure to bring to the snug home nest
A spirit of calm content.
And so, though the neighbors may
put on style,
13e patient and don't get gay ;
You'll have treasures to loan 'em after
awhile
If you just keep pegging away.
A Strange Will.
Martin Woelfie of Chewier, Ott.,
left his entire estate of $3,2(31, "to the
party at a whose house ;i; die," He was
an old xnan SI years of ager For ton
year he had lived with one of hies

a crow went to live with i neighbor,
Leiter be went to live with aeotain-
law and his daughter. There he died

CHURCH UNION,
E
Church union, which appeared
eea.rceiy more than a poesibllity five
yearsago, la now a very near proba-
bility, with respect to the Presby-
terian, .Methodist and Congregational
churches. In 1010 the General Con-
ference of the Methodist Church pees -
ed the proposed (basisof union' by a
large majority. Of the 12 annual
conferencee to which the matter was
referred, nearly all approved it: and
13ow it is being referred to the official
boards and church Members for rati-
ficationbefore the General Conference
will take the important step which
rests with it alone, .
The line of action of the Presby'.
teriau Church is almost identical with
that of the Methodist Church. The
General Assembly, which has the sole
p lwer to act in this matter, approved
of it unanimoualy, and referred it to
the local presbyteries. A large ma-
jority
aa-jorrity of these voted in favor of the
document, and it is now being referr-
ed to the sessions and members for
their decision.
Neither the General Conference nor
Assembly will act without an over-
whelming majority of the members i x
concurrence with them,
With respect to the Congregational
Church, the final decision rests with
the church. members, not the repre-
sentative body known as the Congre-
gational Union, The Union una ti-
anously approved of the documents of
the proposed basis of union, and one
year ago $ per . cent. of the church
members voted for it, so that that
denomination has done its part and
can only await the issue.

The regular meeting of the Wo-
men's Christian Temperance Union
was held Jan. 10;h, in the O. 0. F.
hall, with 21 ladies present. After de-
votional exercises, the President read
an article of Andrew Murry's, chosen
from 1st epistle of Peter, which was
both interesting and instructive. Sec-
retary's report read and on motion of
Mrs. Brock and Miss Waddell, adopt-
ed, also Treasurer's report showing
$2 22 on hand. Moved and secondhd
that Treasurer's resignation be accept-
ed. The appointment of another was`
left over until next meeting. Supt. of
S. 5. reported having got 200 pledge
cards for Methodist S. S. and had over
100 signatures. Supt. of lumberman's
work reported having had word from
ivlrs. Rands to send comfort bogs
away. The evangelistic . Supt. report-
ed having made 13 visits since last
meeting ; also having sent several bas.
kets to the needy at Xmas, also asked
as next week being a week of prayer,
that Friday, Jan. 26th, be given for
one hour for prayer and commencing
at 3 o'clock, to meet at the hone of
Mrs. Joynt, and also at the home of
Mrs. Alex. Ross. Supt. of Flower and
Mission had distributed several arti-
cles of clothing which were much ap-
preciated. Supt. of Medal contest re-
ported being successful in having
seven girls ready for the contest,
which will take place on Feb. 8th in
the Town $ail ; admission fee 10 and
15c. After some discussion on Wo-
man's Franchise it was moved that
Miss Mulvey act as Supt., of this
department. Meeting closed with
prayer.
Again the temperance forces and
the bar -room have joined battle, and
as usual the contest has ended with
the temperance forces in undisputed
possession of certain parts of the field,
with victory trembling in the balance
in other parts, and with the comfort-
ing
omforting fact that even our defeats do not
meat in any sense an extension of
license territory, but, rather, even in
stack eases, a. more careful observance
of the law.
We have carried 17 municipalities
by the required majority of 3 to 2,
and in ail of these cases the victories
will probably be permanent.' --[he
