EATING FOR HEALTH. Turnberry.
(E, B. Warman, . M,)
M0ayrors,
Live and Int live, lint live yourself
by the rule of the straight line. Let
other people have their ideas—for
these ideas are true to them—but see
that yon conform to your own. ---
[Anna Woodward,
Put a knife to thy throat if thou
he az main given to appetite.—[Pro-
verbs XIII:2.
We should eat to live, not live to
eat. "Whatsoever a man staweth that
shall be also reap." If we sow to sin
it will be useless to pray to God to
change the crop. He cannot do it ;
law is changeless, We are never
punished for our physical sine, but by
them,
Over -indulgence in eating is just as
much of a sin as over -indulgence in
drinking --simply different in char-
acter—and results. The vast majority
of people eat too much, too often, too
ignorantly. "One-fourth of what we
eat," said old Dr. Abernethy, "keeps
us, the remaining three-fourths we
keep at the risk of our lives," Some
persons are satisfied if they only get
full—no matter of what. The feeling
of fullness seems to be their guide as
to when they have had enough,
Apropos to this, a few days ago I
heard of a man who being quite
prominent—ia front—was asked if he
paid any attention to the subject of
eating ; that is, if he had any rule
whereby he was governed as to the
amount to eat. "Yes, a very original
but definite one," said he. "I always
sit six inches from the table when I
begin, and when my body touches the
table I feel that I have had enough."
No one can,have health who eats
too much ; no ne can have healthWho
eats too often ; no one cau have health
k1vho eats too many kinds of food at
the same meal ; no one can have health
who eats when hurried, anxious or
excited ; no one can have health who
rises late, gulps down a hearty break-
fast, and then sprints for the car.
Man is the only animal that will eat
when he is ill. Be is led by appetite,
not by hunger. The terms are not
synonymous. Appetite is habit. Ap-
petite is the gnawing sensation felt in
the stomach — that sensation takes
place at such times as one has habitu-
ated himself to eat, Hunger, true
hunger, is present whenever the
mouth fairly waters at the mere
mention, thought, sight or odor of
food. A hungry man is never a kicker
—unless be is obliged to wait too long.
He eats whatever is set before him
"asking no questions for conscience
sake."
There are three important questions
to be settled in regard to eating—How
to eat—When to eat—What to eat.
The first to be considered is how to
eat. This may strike the majority of
persons on the funny bone—just as if
people did not know how to eat. Do
they ? No. You may eat wholesome
food and right combinations, and yet,
not properly and sufficiently masticat-
ed, you cannot possibly escape the
whole train of baneful influences.

Which is his
TIIVRla,'S no mistaking the expression of a man, whose farm is well "improved."
T I e°looks as prosperous as he feels.
It isn't the size of a place that counts most, nor its actual dollars -and -cents
value. It's rather that "well -kept," thrifty appearance; the appearance that makes
you think of fat stock, and well-filled barns, and; comfortable, contented living.
Neat, permanent irnproverrtcnts go further in giving a farm this appearance than
any other feature.
Concrete Is The Ideal Material
for such improvements. It is neat, harmonizing with its surroundings in the country.
Lvorlasting, it ttannot be injured by fire, frost, wind or lightning. Age—instead of
causing it to decay ----actually makes it stronger.
Conereto never needs repair --first cost is last cost. New improvements can bo added
year after year with less expense than would be required to keep wooden structures
in repair. ,
CYonerete walks, 'feedin; floors, dairy -barns, ice -houses, root -cellars, well -curbing,
fence posts, ailos—whir.' of these does your farm need most? Whatever you want to
build, it's best to build it of concrete.
1)o you want to know more about this aaubjeet of permanent farm lmprovetnents?
Then write for your copy of
"What The Fanner Can Do With Concrete."
It's .a book of 160 Oboe*, telling how other
farmers have used the "handy mterlat" to
good advantage. Published to *ell at Sbc, a

The Largest Freighter.
The Tiverton Watchman says : "The
sinking of the Titanic brings to
mind that the largest bulk freighter
in the world "Col. James M. Schoon-
maker," is commanded by a Kincar-
dine Township boy in the person of
Mr. J. J. Slade. The vessel belongs to
the Shenango Steamship Co's fleet.
The vessel is 617 feet over all, 597 foot
keel, 61 foot beam and 33 feet deep,
She is.of arch girder construction, her
cargo hold being divided into three
compartments. The Marine Review
devotes several pages with illustra-
tions to this magnificent boat, describ-
ing her minutely and showing the
v•4.rious parts. Capt. Slade is congrat-
ulated upon receiving such an excel-
lent berth."

THE VETERINARY.
Cattle that are discharging tau'
cus from the nostrils may be re-
lieved by being forced to breathe
the steam from hot water con-
taining pine tar.
Do .not force a sick animal to
get up when it is lying down, It
will rise of its own volition as
soon as it is able, and to force a
beast to the effort is cruelty.
To avoid scratches keep the
legs of the horse free from mud
and the stalls clean and dry.
To cure scours in little pigs
break four fresh eggs into a
quart of fresh milk. and give it
to a litter, says the American
Swineherd, The first dose will
check the trouble, and after the
third they will grow as if never
attacked. Give twelve hours
apart.
If a horse is inclined to stand
over on his knees, lower the heels
and the knees will be brought
back in place. If the heels are
raised, the more out of plumb the
knees will be thrown.

BUTTER PRODUCTION.
What a Little Thinking Has Done For
• the Dairyman.
The average farmer has but little
idea, we are convinced, of the wide
difference there is in cows or in the
systems of management, says Hoard's
Dairyman. Wherever we have taken
cow censuses the farmers were greats
ly surprised at the difference in results
as between different herds. That
shows that to the mind of the average
farmer the yield per cow or per head
is, as he supposes, about the same,
Yet it is quite common to find one
herd making double or more than dou-
ble the clear profit that one may be
on au adjoining farm.
Even on experiment station farms,
where everything is supposed to be
done scientifically, they demonstrate a
wonderful difference in cows.
The Minnesota station found cows in
its herd which returned $55,54, while
alongside of them other cows returned
only $8.10 after deducting the cost of
feed, which was the same'in each case.
The Michigan station found its cows
varied from $0.18 to $04.05 after the
feed cost was reckoned. The New
Jersey station shows that, calling milk
worth $1 per hundredweight, its cows
varied from 13 cents profit to $49.72.
The Connecticut station figures show a
difference as between the poorest and
the best cows of $2.76 to $54.72.
Now, there are thousands of farmers
who are keeping these low paying cows
and don't know it. Something is the
matter, but they don't know what.
They know that they are getting
mighty little out of their cows.
We can see by this how necessary it
is to have an inquiring mind. The
,right kind of farmer will not sit
clown under such conditions. He will
set to work to change them, and the
first thing he will do will be to buy a
registered bull of some breeder he can
trust. That right sort of spirit has
changed whole counties in Wisconsin
over from farmers whose cows aver-
aged 140 pounds of butter per cow per
year to an average for the whole coun-
ty of 250 pounds per cow.
But the minds of these farmers were
stirred by dairy reading and thinking
before the change was made. A hun-
dred pounds more of butter a year per
cow make a big difference In the for-
tune of the farmer.

Chicken Droppings and Hogs.
Pigs and very fond of chicken drop-
pings, and that is the reason they root
over the chicken coops when they get
to them, writes 0. R. Abraham in
Farm and Fireside.
I have never noticed that the chick-
en droppings did the pigs any harm
and do not believe they do yet, for, as
a rule, there are enough pigs in a gang
so that none get enough to hurt them,
I had a sow and pigs that were doing
fine, but the sow's appetite seemed to
leave her, and sho would neither eat
nor drink to clo any good, though I
did my best to make Yip slop to her
appetite. I hardly knew what to do,
for 1 knew it Win' going to become tt
serious problem. So I endeavored to
find the cause of her loss of appetite.
One morning I called her from her
bed to slop her, and she came direct
to the trough, but after taking a few
swallows of the best slop I could
make up she walked directly to the
tool shed, and of coarse a tool shed is
a favorite haunt of chickens.
After seeing her gobble up the drop-
pings made the night previous I con-
cluded 1 had the problem solved. Vas.
tening up the shed hog proof, I was
satisfied that t would get results, and,
sure enough, I did. In about twenty-
four hours she "eanle to her feed" and
never, missed a meal from that time
on,
Color of Jerseys.
The American Jersey Cattle club
mikes no distinction between solid col-
or Jersey cattle and those of broken
color—that is, those showing more or
less white. It is true, however, that a
good many` people prefer the cattle of
solld c41or, but more or less white
does not indicate that the animal Is not
pure bred, and any one who would re-
ject ti Jersey simply On account of bro-
ken color :would exhibit vet/ poor

Owing to the very wet fall of 1911 and
the extremely cold winter, a great deal
of corn did not receive proper care and
is therefore unfit for seed, and farmers
should exercise more care than usual in
selecting their seed corn, 'as replanting
is never so good.
Having a practical man in E sex, I
have been able to secure corn from. some
of the very best farms . and can offer
you the very choicest of seed either on
or off the cob.
I have 90 Day Early Learning, Bailey
and White Cap dent—these are the best
silo corns ; I also have Compton's Early.
These corns have all been tested for
germination and are No. 1, therefore to
ensure a good crop, get your seed from.
