Then, it is that growing girls droop, become fragile, bloodlese and nervous. Nature is call- ing for tuore nourishment than the blood can eupply, and signs of distress are 'plainly evident in dull eyes, pallid cheeks weak and .aching backs, 4 lan- guid ;tete fite of depressiou, MMUS- ness and a ditlike for proper food, These Bigot mean Anaemia—that is bloodlessness.

'domed into robust women througis the rieh, red blood these pills actually make, No other medicine has, ever succeeded like them, and thousagals of mothers have proved their worth. The case of Mat Marguerite Boiselair, St. Jerome, Qua, proves the truth of these states mente. Miss Boiselair is sixteen yeare of age, and says that since the age of thirteeu, er fourteen she had been af. Voted with extreme weakness, and seemed to be going into a decline. The „let* effort lett her weak and breath- less, so that she was unable to do any household, work. She had no appetite, euffered from terrible headaches, dizzi- ness and sometimes. fainting epelle. She waa under medierd treatment, but made absolutely no improvement, in fact, seemed to be steadily growing weakest. When her ease seemed almost hopeleas a lady friend advised the use of Dr. Wil- lianss' Pink Pills.. A,fter taking a few boxes ehe began to gain new strength, and after the continued use of the pills for about two months she was again as esell and strong as ever she had been, and has since enjoyed the best of health.

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. would. die away, and then spring up in en ,opposite quarter, and the -work 'Would have tobe done.over again, and after a'night spent in shifting sails, per- haps not two miles of progress would be entered. in the log. I have learned to apply this lesson 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. - not, de-seend; if, as my nautical lesson taught me long ago, there is a puff of ful wandering then, there is strife over- head and the blessing cannot come down worldliness now, and a flurry of sin - Oh, to be able to salt in the wander- ing thoughts and concentrate our pow- ers and say, "My heart is fixed, 0 Godi my heart is fixed, I will sing and give praise."

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. . Without doubt„ the open -front house will give the beat resulte in 'ventilation, although it eeems bard to convince the average poultry -keeper of this fact, in spite of the proof befere them in the op- eration of the same by some of the large estcommercial 'plants in the country.

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 health. If we were to choose between plenty of pure water and. a grain ration, we would take the water. The water problem has always been a hard problem to solve ia connection with poultry man. figment.

OUCH! ' - • 4 CONTAINS NO ALUM 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 among -sheep .during the winter 'months, and attackare frequent, espeeially 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.

At 21Z Fraser avenue., Edmonton, Alta., lives W. P. Mahy, a former mem- 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 Zam-Buk.
