AS THE DEW
During my first trip to the Mediter-
ranean many years ago we touched at
the Island of Malta. We had rain for
several days and when I went ashore"
to visit an English family, the foremost
subject of the conversation was the
rain. And my friend said,
" This is the first .rain we have
had for three or four years," I said.
'How then, is it that things look so
green and that' you produce such sup-
erb fruit in the Florida Gardens' where
the oranges hang from the darkleaves-
like 'golden lamps hung in a night of
green?' "
"Well, our copious dews take the place
of rain."
It is interesting to notiee the beue-
fieient source of fertility at sea, Soon
after the sun. goes down, the dew be-
gins to fall, and by time darkness sets in
the watch on deck nee glad to put on
their oilskins to keep themselves dry.
By ten o'clock it is drip, drip, all the
night from the rigging, and by the morn-
ing every sail is as if it had been dip-
ped into the sea. How gently, silently
secretly the precious dew falls to re-
fresh and renew the earth. But some-
tienes it happens that no dew fella, and.
the whole night is dry and parched. How
Is this? One condition of the dew com-
ing in its bounty is that the heavens
must be calm. I recall nights when
variable baffling puffs of wind came to
perplex and. employ the crew, we would
trim yards and sheets for the breeze on
one side, perhaps just enough wind to
make the sells `sleep'." After getting all
ropes coiled up, while the vessel was go-
ing less than a mile an hour, the wind.

and want others to share.. "I will be as
the dew unto Israel' is a precious prom-
ise, but is seems that the attitude of
the soul has something to do with suce-
ess in obtaining the blessing.
If the soul is not calm, the dew can. -

and. rheumatism, and they. have been
known to be affected with both.
The only remedy for a tight house
of this kind is ventilation. But if
you place any value on the fowls,
don't give it ovethead ventilation,
This it as bad as a tight house. yet
many people use overhead ventila-
tion, With it you. may not have
rheumatism in the flock, but you will
surely have celds and roup if you
are not fighting agaihst it all the
time. And the expense, the time• it
takes to treat the fowls, to say noth-
ing of the toss in egg production, is
not worth the effort. There are two
good reasons why this tis so. The
first is that with overhead ventila-
tors, especially in windy weather,
there is a continual draught blowing
down on the heads of the fowls, and
at they caanot stand a draught on
their heads any more than people,
they take cold, andif not attended to
at once it leads to roup. Tbe second
reason is that foul air does not read.
ily rise, but settles and hang in the
l'wer r -rt of tile house, so, while the
air from overhead ventilators will
reach tne fowls, it does not reach
down suffieiently into the house to
stir up the four a,ir lodged there. There-
fore, if one must have a, solid -front
house, with ventilators, put them at the
bottom. - Then the air from these venti-
lators will constantly keep the ,air in mo-
tion and. keep the house fairly sweet.

RUNNING WATER FOR CHICKENS.
One of the prime requisites in poultry
raisin is an abundance of fresh, cool
water. free range, green food and
pure water are the principal essentials
in the rapid growth of chicks. The feed
problem is secondary, but it is quite im-
portant. Over -feeding of grain is often
indulged in and. often results in more
harm than, good. When growing chicks
have free range and. a good grass run,
they require but little grain to keep
them in the best of condition awl

plenty of pure water and. a grain ration,
we would take the water. The water

PRODUCER TO CONSUMER.
In the current issue of Ferns and
Fireside a contributor makes the fol-
lowing comment;
"Speaking of Troducer-to-Consumer'
methods,the time has come when most
of the primitive methods are being
worked to death.
"Tune was when a farmer could dis-
pose of a load of fresh vegetables, fruits,
butter, eggs, honey, etc., from house to
house, at good prices; but that, in my
neighborhood, has been overdone.
"Also, consumers have been hood..
winked to such an extent that they
are susipcous, and so are difficult to
approach.
'For that reason, and because of
competition, only those farmers quite
near a town, and with whom the people
are less familiar, can expect to make
a success of house-to-house peddling in
the future.
"Again, many, perhaps all, large towns
arc now served by city wagons that are
supplied with' All conveniences that are
actually 'green -grocery stores' on wheels.
"They effectually bar the fernier.
"Before our stuff is ready, they
serve their routes wth southern pro-
time. By that meaue they hold their
customers and serve they daily, winter
and summer.
'That it beyond the farmer, but tite
next best thing is to sell direct to
those who serve those routes, and di-
vide the regular middleman's profits.
Most of the men wilo run those green-
grocery routes will buy any amount of
first class produce.
"I know men who now haul, or ship,
their produce 20 to 40 miles, inorder
to stli to the men who serve these daly
routes.
"They clear more money than by the
old method of selling to the nearest
dealers.
"It's natural; the_ dealer mnst have
his profit; his commission man, or agent,
must make something; the retailer can't
buy and sell for the, pleasure of it.
There's. two extra commissions. Why
shouldn't the farmer have one, and the
man with the route,. the.other?"

Indigeation is a very common ailment

while the floelr is confined to dry feed.
The ailment may be chaareterized as a
failure of the natural changes which feed
undergoes in the alimentary canal. Sheep
confined to a dry, narrow ration, with-
out any form of succulent food, are more
apt to suffer attacks of indigestion than,
when on pasture. Ordinarily the ailment
is not serious, but if permitted to run. Ite

At 21Z Fraser avenue., Edmonton,

ber of the local fire brigade, who has
wonderful cause to be thankful for the
curative powers of Zarn-Buls. He says:
"A serious skin disease broke out on my
face, and spread -until I was in a ter-
rible state. The spots and little ulcers
were frightfnlly irritating, and wet
When scratched or rubbed they bled. and
smarted. Shaving caused me agony, and
sometimes I would have to go two week
without a shave. I tried. home:made
remedies, herb salves and various other
preparations, but the sores got no bet-
ter. When Zam-Buk Wt18 mentioned I had
little faith that it would be able to do
me any good. My ease seemed such an
obstinate one. I gave it a fair trial, how-
ever, and the firet box made such a
wonderful change for the better that
it gave me encouragement to continue,
I did so, and to cut a long story short,
Zam-Buk, in the end, quite cured me.
My face is now clear of all traces of the
terrible disease, whieli troubled me for
so long."
Thousands of sufferers from eczema,
blood poison, ulcers, chronic sorest_
piles, ringworm, cold sores, cuts,
burns and skin injuries, ha-ve been re-
lieved and cured, as was Mr. Mahy, by
